On Some Syntactic Peculiarities of the Armenian Translation of Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!
Authors: Karapetyan Ruzanna
Published: June 2023

The grandiose novel of William Faulkner “Absalom!Absalom!” is a majestic example of a piece of writing which encompasses diverse layers of plots, social layers, and dramatic collisions, revealed through intricate linguistic apparatus, particularly a very specific syntactic organization.  The paper is an attempt to make a close comparison of the original and the Armenian texts of the novel, translated by Levon Mkrtchyan. The analysis of the syntactic complexity of the novel and its appropriate rendering into the Armenian language has been conducted within the framework of three sets of translation methods, elaborated by J.P.Vinay’s and J. Darbelnet and M.Baker. The results of the investigation manifest a striking deviation from the original text on the syntactic and textual levels. Scrupulous quantitative and qualitative data and interpretation are provided in the conclusion.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, otel işletmelerinde yeşil örgüt iklimi ve yeşil davranışın, iş tatmini üzerine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma verileri anket tekniği kullanılarak 383 otel çalışanından toplanmıştır. Ölçme araçlarının faktör geçerlilikleri açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ile sınanmıştır. Araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek için regresyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda yeşil örgüt ikliminin, yeşil davranışı ve iş tatminini etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Buna karşın yeşil davranışın iş tatmini üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
UYGUR HUKUKUNDA FAİZ –UYGUR HUKUK VESİKALARINA GÖRE–
Authors: KORKMAZ Salih
Published: June 2023

Faiz, tarihi çok eskilere dayanan bir müessesedir. Nitekim pek çok hukuk sistemi faizi farklı şekillerde tanımlamış ve buna binaen farklı hükümler öngörmüştür. Bu makalede, Uygurların Müslüman olmadan önceki devirlerinden kalma hukuk vesikaları üzerinden faiz tatbikatı tetkik edilmiştir. Uygur hukukunda hemen hemen bütün vadeli borçlanmalarda faizin cereyan ettiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca günümüz hukukunda faiz olarak görülmeyen, fakat Uygur hukuku açısından faiz olarak tavsif edilmesi gereken durumlarla da karşılaşılmıştır. Dolaylı faiz tatbikatı olarak isimlendirilen bu durumlar, trampa, rehin ve bey’ bi’l-vefâ (geri alım şartıyla satım) akitlerinde söz konusu olmuştur. Bu çerçevede Uygur hukukunda faiz tatbikatı; faizin cereyan ettiği akitler, faiz çeşitleri, vade türü ve faiz, faiz oranları gibi alt başlıklar halinde ele alınmıştır.

The Impact of the Financial and the Health Crisis on Listed Hotel Stocks
Authors: Aliano Mauro , Boido Claudio , Galloppo Giuseppe
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Travel and tourism represent one of the largest industries in the world as far as percentages of GDP and occupation are concerned, consequently, asset managers could be interested to select listed hotel stocks in their portfolios. The hotel industry has shown some difficulties not only in periods of financial, but also during the health crisis (Covid-19), when global and local restrictions on travel and tourism had a negative effect on the hotel sector. This study aims to analyze how listed hotel stocks could improve their contribution to portfolio diversification in different stages of the market. First, we use a constraint mean-variance approach to analyze the effect of diversification, and then we study the difference in the performance of the hotel sector by using the Risk-Adjusted Performance (RAP) measure. We analyze three sample periods: a) the whole sample (01/2000-09/2021); b) the Financial Crisis sample (06/2007-06/2012) and c) the COVID sample (02/2021-09/2021). Our findings contribute to a good understanding of financial patterns in the hotel industry as an asset class at different stages and support our hypothesis of its possible positive contribution in terms of diversification and performance.

Aim of this Study: Underlining the method used in Ninevah as individual’s identification and to emphasize the importance of dental components for person identification. Methodology: ethically approved by the ethical research committee in the Nineveh Health Directorate/Ministry of Health. Modified questionnaire study formed to assess the role of forensic odontology in Ninevah and knowledge of the forensic medicine staff Result: Demographical section shows thirteen’s male group. In regard to specific unit positions in the FMD doctors form (15%), laboratory assistance (35%). In the specific knowledge questions about forensic medicine results where visual examination is the first step to identifying unclaimed bodies (45%), bone samples are the chosen answer (52%), in comparison to teeth (42.5%) used to estimate age. More than fifty percent claimed that forensic odontology is for dead person identification only. The respondents consider tooth structure to be the main part used (42.5%). More than 75% agreed that dentists have a great role in forensic odontology (33, 82.5%). The highest percentage gathers information from electronic sources: television, mobile phones, and radio (19, 47.5%). Thirty questions about forensic dentistry knowledge with one answer either yes or no or I don’t know. Twenty-one answers show the highest agreement of the respondents on YES, while 7 answers show the highest percent of applicants disagreeing with the questions. Conclusion: Forensic odontology provides a quick means of identification based on dental characteristics, treatment, and pathology in the context of comparative identification. Although FMD in Nineveh understands the significance of FD, they are not permitted to perform routine analyses of the remains; instead, they collect samples and send them to Baghdad, the primary center of forensic medicine.
Three Phases of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Cerebral Aneurysms: Early Hyperproliferative, Intermediate Dedifferentiated & Late Hypoproliferative
Authors:   Internal Medicine, California Institute of Behavioral Neurosciences & Psychology, Shantha Kumar Vivig
Published: June 2023

Vascular smooth muscles play a vital role in the growth and propagation of cerebral aneurysms. These highly dynamic cells, characterized by a high degree of plasticity, show structural and functional modifications in response to external environmental influences. Following sustained endothelial injury, vascular smooth muscles avail a new functional capability characterized by proinflammatory, and promatrix remodeling abilities, losing the normal contractile and synthetic ability. Switching of differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells into undifferentiated inflammatory vascular smooth muscle cells followed by eventual apoptosis decreases the production of collagen, a vital component of the structural matrix, rendering the vessel wall less responsive to cyclical hemodynamic pressure swings and more susceptible to aneurysmal dilatation and rupture. The goal of this review is to understand the structural and functional modifications that vascular smooth muscle cells undergo during the natural course of cerebral aneurysm formation with a particular focus on the contributory molecular mechanisms

Published: June 2023

Zoological parks have been linked to various potential calamities, including the inadvertent release of animal species on a regular basis. To mitigate the risk of animals escaping from these parks, it is crucial to assess the security of animal enclosures and identify the factors that may compromise their integrity. Furthermore, natural disasters pose an ongoing threat to public safety, and in such emergency situations, both animals and humans are vulnerable to harm, potentially endangering public safety. Lastly, the possibility of zoonotic diseases and their transmission among humans through direct or indirect contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces poses a significant threat to both the animals and the human staff working in the zoo. This paper will be looking at the three possible disasters and how to mitigate such disasters from happening in Malaysian zoos. Another matter that will be highlighted is the roles and responsibilities of authorities, communication plus testing and training. The Business Continuity Plan (BCP) will be used by the authorities to respond to each scenario, based on which business processes or assets get disrupted and to understand the scale and scope of what they are facing. Risk mitigation factors are also highlighted in this article.

A well-known issue throughout the world is Climate Change. To combat this problem, aerial imagery can be classified into different Koeppen-Geiger climate types, which can be compared to themselves in future years, showing any type of evidence that the climate is changing. We approach the problem by using Convolutional Neural Networks and the Haversine formula, which classify images to their respective climate type. The model predicted the climates with reasonable accuracy, fluctuating around 50% validation accuracy.
Implementation of modern technology on battery recycling habits
Authors: Wang Zixi
Published: June 2023

Due to the lack of education and misinformation, most people throw away batteries in their homes, including Zinc Carbon, Alkaline, and lithium-ion batteries. Consequently, more than 300 million batteries are thrown away as household waste each year, ending up in landfills. This paper used the survey to collect a diverse group of people’s cognition and understanding of recycled batteries to seek a novel solution to a common problem. There is a strong need to develop economically feasible technology that could efficiently help recycle batteries. One of the goals of this project was to look into how different people will affect their knowledge about battery recycling. My team’s hypothesis is that by creating a novel battery recycling infrastructure to generate an innovative incentive for consumers, we will increase the recycling rate of alkaline, lithium-ion, and rechargeable batteries. The experiment results show that our infrastructure is favorable to the general public, which proves our hypothesis is correct.
Effects of Intergroup Contact in an Official Bilingual Language Teaching Context on Mutual Stereotypes
Authors: Ngum Melvis , Evani Evani , Neba Ayu’nwi
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This paper reports findings of an investigation of the effects of intergroup contact in a bilingual language teaching context on stereotypes of each group towards each other.   The pre and post intergroup contact attitudes of Cameroonian Anglophone Bilingual Teachers (ABT) and those of Francophone Bilingual Teachers (FBT) towards each other were determined and compared.

Methodology: A mixed method research design that relied on a two-phase explanatory sequential strategy was employed to collect the data.  It comprised an anonymous self-report survey of 97 bilingual teachers and a follow-up interview of 6 of these teachers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data and content analysis was used to explore the textual data.

Findings: The study revealed that while ABT indicated negative attitudes towards FBT, prior to starting their training, FBT on their part, expressed positive considerations of Anglophones (they saw them as polite, hospitable and hardworking people). In the end, ABT moved from seeing FBT as arrogant to calling them simple and assiduous learners. Nevertheless, they scorned the FBT’s insolence. The contact reinforced FBT’s prior training positive attitudes towards ABT whom they found to be friendly, convivial and courteous. 

Recommendations: The study concludes that intergroup contact positively influenced ABT attitudes towards FBT, while FBT maintained their pre-training positive attitudes towards ABT. Intergroup contact in an official bilingual teacher training classroom, therefore, can be a fertile ground for the elimination of stereotypes and promotion of the spirit of living together.

Authors: Ukorebi B. A. , John U. E.
Published: June 2023

Studies were carried out to determine the chemical composition of the leaf meal of Gongronema latifolia (Utasi), using organ histopathology of mixed breed grower rabbits as an in-vivo confirmatory reflector of its nutritional significance after a feeding trial. The proximate analysis of the leaf meal yielded 8.04%; 14.25%, 60.39%, 6.26%, 2.84% and 2.84% of moisture; crude protein, NFE, ash, ether extract and crude fibre respectively on dry matter bases and 2903.41Kcal/kg. In the mineral analysis, minerals detected were: Calcium (10.80mg/ 100g), Magnesium (45.00mg/ 100g), Potassium (486.00mg/ 100g), Sodium (3.86mg/ 100g), and Phosphorus (395.30mg/ 100g). The phytochemical screening of the leaf meal yielded 1.03, 0.37, 0.47, and 0.55g/100g of Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Saponins and Tannin, respectively. Other phytochemicals found were Phenols (0.17mg/100g), Phytates (0.12mg/100g), and cyanogenic glycosides (7.07mg/100g). Analysis of the leaf meal protein detected 17 (seventeen) amino acids, comprising of both essential and non-essential amino acids, almost in the ratio of 1:1. In the feeding trial with rabbits, 4 experimental diets were formulated such that diet 1 (control) contained 0% Gongronema latifolia leaf meal (GLLM) while diets 2, 3 and 4 contained 10%, 20% and 30% GLLM, respectively. Each diet was fed to a group of 9 grower rabbits for 49 days. All performance parameters (average initial body weight, average final body weight, average body weight gain, average daily feed intake, average daily body weight gain, and feed-to-gain ratio), were not significantly (P<0.05) affected by dietary treatments. There were no lesions of pathologic significance in the tissues (liver, kidney and pancreas) examined. The results of the in-vivo and in vivo investigations suggest that GLLM is not toxic, and is sufficiently nutritious to support rabbit production.

El agua es una necesidad fundamental para el ser humano, sin embargo, no fue hasta el año 1958 donde se creó las “Normas Internacionales para el Agua potable” estableciéndose los parámetros para indicar cuando el agua es de consumo humano; más adelante sufrió diversas modificaciones para su mejor entendimiento. En el caso del Perú es un derecho constitucional el consumo de agua potable por Ley N° 30588, donde el 90.8% tiene acceso al servicio, pero en su mayoría dudan de la calidad de esta; por otro lado, los habitantes que no cuentan con ello buscan otras fuentes arriesgándose a consumir agua que no cumplen los parámetros admisibles afectando de esta manera a su salud. Por ende, el objetivo del estudio es analizar la aplicabilidad de la metodología IRCA en el Perú para mejorar los estándares de calidad de agua potable. El tipo de enfoque de esta investigación es descriptivo para facilitar la profundización de los detalles del tema a tratar. De acuerdo a los resultados existen varias similitudes respecto al análisis de los parámetros entre la Resolución 2115 del 2007 y el Decreto Supremo N° 031-2010-SA. Se concluye que no hay suficiente información sobre la aplicación de la metodología IRCA en el Perú; sin embargo, su aplicabilidad es posible si se reajusta dicho método, principalmente para indicar un número mínimo de muestreo de agua analizadas para que sea estadísticamente viable y los resultados sean confiables.

The article presents an analysis of the impact of fuel combustion processes on the implementation of the concept of smart dust in the production and environmental monitoring of thermal power plants. Physical phenomena that affect the behavior of smart dust are considered, while ensuring the information reliability of production and environmental monitoring of thermal power plants. It is shown that a significant physical process implemented at thermal power plants and having the greatest impact on the environment and, therefore, requiring monitoring of production and environmental indicators using smart dust is the combustion of prepared fuel. A model of the physical process of fuel combustion of a thermal power plant is proposed, on the basis of which, following the concept of smart dust, a network of many miniature devices (motes) is able to evaluate the generalized quality criterion of this physical process for n-1 inputs and evaluate the allowable range of values of the n-th parameter.

. The purpose of the study is to identify the presence or absence of changes in the spatial concentration of SMEs in the municipalities of the resource-type region, depending on the extraction of minerals (on the materials of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass). Research methods – paired Student’s t-test, spatial concentration indexes. It was found that in all municipalities the decrease in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises is statistically significant. At the same time, faster rates of decline were typical for remote peripheral areas of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass, which is demonstrated by the dynamics of the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. The share of the 4 largest municipalities has not changed; the share of the 2 largest municipalities has increased. An increase in the spatial concentration of entrepreneurship in the Kemerovo agglomeration has been demonstrated. The growth of its share in the total number of small and medium-sized enterprises amounted to about 1%. Agglomeration effects contribute to the survival of small businesses.

The purpose of the study is to assess the provision of the educational system of the region (on the example of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass) with financial, human, material resources as a factor in the development and implementation of the strategy of this object. Research methods – economic and statistical analysis of the financial, material, human resources of the educational system, statistical methods for analyzing dynamics. It has been established that in 2011-2022 there was no increase in financing of the educational system in real terms, and in 2015-2017 there has been a significant decline in funding. This is due to the dependence of the budget of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass on world coal prices. The network of schools and colleges continued to be reduced (except for organizations of additional professional education for children), although, in general, the personnel potential was preserved. Reducing the resource endowment of the educational system does not contribute to the strategic development of the region’s human capital, especially given the need to increase the technological selfsufficiency of the economy. It is especially important to expand the availability of resources for secondary vocational education, where qualified workers are trained for industry, transport, communications, and construction.

The article discusses methodological approaches to the formation of a natural-science picture of the world among students of a secondary general education school, taking into account the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. The main stages of its formation are determined, the role of conceptual thinking in the development of a scientific worldview is shown, the need for a special organization of the educational process using the verbal-logical method of teaching, the possibilities of cognitive dialogue, interdisciplinary integration of basic natural science concepts for mastering the methodology of scientific knowledge by high school students is noted. An important feature of the scientific picture, which must be taken into account in the process of forming students' ideas about a holistic picture of the surrounding reality, along with overcoming disunity between humanitarian and natural science knowledge systems, is the variability and non-linearity of the modern picture of the world. The following are defined as its characteristics: strengthening of the axiological component, anthropologization of scientific knowledge, expansion of the field of reflection on activities, global evolutionism and synergetics, dominance of open self-organizing systems in the study of complex cognitive constructs, convergence of the methodology of natural and human sciences, verbalization of the scientific picture of the world (clear goal-setting , result orientation, flexibility of dialogic discourse in verbal and speech communication, synthesis of knowledge about aspects of the whole world), etc.

The article deals with the problem of agricultural production development in the Russian Federation against the background of international sanctions and economic instability. The author revealed that the last five years in agriculture in Russia are characterized by a low degree of innovation activity and a small increase in indicators. Agribusiness in Russia still depends on the import of agricultural technologies, OT-technologies and agricultural crops. According to the author, in the near future, the main directions of agricultural development should be: improvement of the legislative framework to control economic processes in agriculture; development of agricultural production infrastructure, including clusters, technology parks, business incubators, transport and logistics complexes and the creation of special economic zones; expansion of financing of state programs for the development of agriculture, including preferential loans, grants, subsidies and leasing programs.
PowerPoint as a gamification tool in foreign language lessons

Published: June 2023

This article discusses the possibilities of the PowerPoint program, which allow you to gamify the process of learning a foreign language at school, as one of several ways to stimulate interest in learning. The principle of gamification is to use the natural desire to play as a key to engaging the individual in the transfer and use of information. Gamification can improve the efficiency and quality of education, encourage students to learn, as well as develop communicative competence, goal-setting skills and cognitive activity. Gamification is applicable at any stage of the training session. Gamification and play are not identical concepts. The game is built according to certain rules, the participants play different roles, and the result they arrive at is usually not related to either educational or work goals. Gamification involves the use of game elements to solve educational problems, while reality does not turn into an abstract situation (as in a game), but remains a reality, while the student is given game settings. The PowerPoint software application fully meets this goal and can be successfully used as one of the teacher's tools that support his methodical work.

Authors: Hussein KADHIM Zahraa
Published: June 2023

The current study aims to determination the effect of flavonoids on thickness and diameter of testicular seminiferous tubules in adult males wistar rats exposed to lead acetate which cause oxidative stress. 40 male wistar rats, each 200±10g on average, were randomly devided to four equal groups and received the following treated for 60 days: First group (C) received nothing except water as a control. Quercetin at dose (300 mg/kg/B.w.) was administered to the second group (T1). Lead acetate at dose (10 mg/kg/B.w.) was administered to the third group (T2). The fourth group received quercetin (300 mg/kg/B.w) for 30 days after receiving lead acetate (10mg/kg/B.w) for 30 days. All of the animals were sacrificed at the end of experiment. Samples of testis, epididymis and vas difference were taken for histopathological study. A significant difference (p≤0.05) in the seminiferous tubule thickness and leydig cell count was reported in a histological examination. sertoli cells, primary and secondary spermatocytes in T1 group in compared with C group. Whereas there were no significant difference in seminiferous tubules diameter in T1 group in compared with the C group. Additionally, there was a significant difference (p≤0.05) between the T2 group and the C group in terms of the thickness of the seminiferous tubules, leydig's cells and sertoli cells number, primary and secondary spermatocytes, and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules. Additionally, there was a significant difference between the T3 group and the T2 group as evidenced by an increase in seminiferous tubule thickness, leydig's cells, sertoli cells, primary and secondary spermatocytes, and a decrease in seminiferous tubule diameter. Also histological sections in control group revealed a complete spermatogenesis, normal testicular tissue architecture with normal seminiferous tubules, epididymis and vas deference tissues. In T1 group there was complete spermatogenesis, the epididymis duct filled with the sperm and extended, vas deference has normal smooth muscles fibers and sperm filled the lumen of it. In T2 group there was vaculation of spermatogonia and few number of sperms, sertoli and leydige cells, the epididymis duct empty with degeneration and destruction of stereocilia, the vas deference empty from sperm and there was mild destruction in the stereocilia and sloughing the epithelial layer of it. In T3 there was large number of spermatogonia, primary and secondary spermatocytes with spermatids, the epididymial duct filled with the sperm .Vas deference has normal smooth muscles and the sperm filled the lumen of it.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the sediments of the Hilla River on the characteristics of some the sedimentary soils adjacent to the Hilla River, the sampling sites were chosen in the study area along the eastern side of the Hilla River, which extends from the beginning of its branching from the Euphrates River at the front of the Hilla dam in the province of Babil and along the river in the south, all the way to the back of the Sadr alDaghara regulator, which is located between the provinces of Babel and Al-Diwaniyah. Fifteen pedons were excavated, distributed in five transects perpendicular to the Hilla River. Each transect contains three pedons and represents a unit of shoulder, basin and depression. The results of soil investigations showed that there is a difference in some soil morphological properties among the studied sites according to the shape of the land, it was noted that there was no difference in the Hue through the wavelength of the studied sites and it was 10YR, with a difference in the Value and Chroma among all the pedons of the study area with depth, and indicates that the same sedimentation source (River Hilla). The predominance of the two types of blocky structures (angular blocky and sub angular blocky) and this shows the effect of the type of sediment. The results of the physical analysis showed a variation in the soil texture for both vertical and horizontal directions with the predominance of silt and sand particles and a decrease in the percentage of clay particles and this depended on the sedimentation speed associated with the proximity or distance of the river. As for the bulk density, its values also have changed as a result of a variation in the volume distribution ratio of soil particles of sand, silt and clay. While the results of the chemical analysis indicated that there is a difference in the chemical properties of soils in all study transects with depth, pH values lie between neutral to moderately basic (6.85-8.19) within the normal range of Iraqi soils, the electrical conductivity ranged between (0.68-36.2 ds m-1) from low salinity soils to very high salinity soils. As for SAR, it was low in sodium in most of the study pedons with depth, reaching 2.35, (medium to very high in some sites), and the values of the CEC ranged between (7.49- 21.45) Cmol Kg-1, As for the soil content of total calcium carbonate (CaCO3), whose values ranged between (6.52-22.17)%, the highest value of the soil content of organic matter reached in most of the surface horizons compared with the subsurface horizons
