Authors: Bastakoti B. , Khanal D. , Banjade D.
Published: February 2025

Nitrogen being a limiting factor for crop production, the supply of nitrogen to the crops has been more chemical-based, affecting soil health and sustainability in the long run. Because of the significance that biofertilizers play in crop productivity, there is a growing area of research in the agricultural sector on the use of beneficial bacteria as biofertilizers. It keeps the soil healthy, enhances plant nutrition, boosts organic matter content, and keeps the soil pH stable. Farmers’ bio-fertilizer usage is beneficial for raising crop yield and boosting farmer revenue. Azotobacter could be one of the biofertilizer options for sustainable and environmentally friendly maize production in areas where chemical fertilizer is scarce. Azotobacter is being researched for its ability to fix nitrogen in soil and has a good impact on soil quality, growth, yield, and biochemical characteristics. Different findings have demonstrated the impact of Azotobacter in increasing the grain yield and yield attributing characters. Azotobacter provides nutrients to the plants by different mechanisms of nitrogen fixation, creation of phytohormones, and enhancement of nitrogen uptake. Azotobacter can be a biological regulator to improve environmental adaptability and crops’ ability to use soil nitrogen. Therefore, Azotobacter is viewed as a potential substitute for chemical fertilizers where soil health and sustainability are of major concern.

Published: February 2025

The operation of a shredding machine is altered by clogging the cutting chamber. In this study, a high rotational clearing speed was developed to minimize damage and enhance the shredder’s performance. Three-factor and three-level tests were conducted using the peels’ speed, input rate, and moisture content to ascertain the machine’s ideal process parameters. Based on the single-factor experiments, the correct shaft speed (2400, 2600, and 2800 rpm), the input of cassava peels (1, 2, and 3 kg/min), and the moisture content (80, 85, and 90%) were then determined. Three stages of L20 (33) orthogonal arrays were performed to optimize the application parameters using I-Optimum. The results showed that the optimal conditions for machine efficiency (96.48%) and throughput (13.32 kg) were 2600 rpm speed; 1.03 kg/min input and 82.9% moisture content with desirability of 0.70. These results can serve as a guide for the shredder using cassava peels.

Published: February 2025

This study was focused on the assessment of the efficiency of Ganga sludge-based organic fertilizers on growth and yield parameters of a leguminous crop pea (Pisum sativum). The plant parameters like plant height, total biomass (root and shoot), leaf area, total chlorophyll, number of pods per plant and pods weight per plot were investigated during this study. All fertilizer treatments have the potential to affect the growth and yield of pea crops when used singly or in combination. Similarly, effects on the increase in leaf area also showed increased content of total chlorophyll. From these findings, it was concluded that organic fertilizers from sludge and their effects on the growth and yield of peas is an efficient and eco-friendly way to manage Ganga sludge. Apart from peas such experiments should also be carried out on other crops.

Transplanted (T.) aman rice (Oryza sativa L.) covers the largest cultivated area in Bangladesh while very little information on molecular level characterization of T. aman genotypes persists. The major aim of this study was to dissect molecular characterization and genetic diversity of 25 T. aman rice genotypes using twelve simple sequences repeats (SSRs) markers. The rice genotypes comprised local landraces that were collected from twelve districts of Bangladesh. A total of twelve SSR primer pairs covering all 12 chromosomes of rice were selected for the study. The molecular characterization, genetic diversity, population structure and principal component analysis (PCA) were estimated and the results revealed a total of fifty alleles across 12 loci ranged from 2 (RM411) to 7 (RM252) per locus. The maximum gene diversity exhibited in RM252 (0.7) while the minimum was in RM320 (0.15). The polymorphism information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.14 to 0.67 while RM252 and RM206 identified as the most suitable markers. Clustering based on unweight pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) analysis clustered 25 genotypes into six major clusters (I-VI) with similarity coefficient value of 0.34. Cluster V contained a maximum seven genotypes with 5 sub- groups. Again, the population structure displayed 3 populations namely population 1, 2 and 3. These populations were clustered into the 3 major groups in the Principle Component Analysis (PCA) 2D plot. Here, PC1 and PC2 contributed 32.7% variations. However, the overall hybridization suggested between the genotypes of the population 1 and 3, specifically between clusters I and cluster VI, and between the diverse parents such as, genotypes Bohi Trimota and Ranga, Bohi Trimota and Purple Rice-2, Bohi Trimota and Purple Rice-3. These diverse clusters and genotypes identified through SSR makers are lay foundation of molecular characterization of T. aman rice genotypes in Bangladesh and further marker-assisted studies will be suggested.
Uma análise crítica de manuais de atuação de intérpretes em contexto de refúgio
Authors: Gorovitz Sabine , Valverde da Silva Júlia Cristina
Published: February 2025

A intensificação das mobilidades humanas pressupõe reflexões de como assegurar o direito linguístico de pessoas com pouca ou nenhuma proficiência na(s) língua(s) oficial(is) de um país, dentre as quais o de pessoas refugiadas, excluídas dos sistemas de assistência por falarem línguas distintas dos agentes que prestam serviços dessa natureza. Frente a tamanho desafio, faz-se necessária a implementação de uma política de assistência linguística, tributária da criação de um sistema integrado de formação, certificação e credenciamento de profissionais da mediação linguística. Se poucos são os países que oferecem cursos especializados na área, muitos deles contam, para pautar a atuação dos intérpretes comunitários, com manuais e códigos de ética elaborados sem o necessário embasamento em estudos linguísticos e, ainda menos, em reflexões especializadas sobre tradução/interpretação. Nesse contexto, a presente reflexão tem como objetivo descrever alguns desses materiais com foco nos conceitos de língua, tradução e interpretação e as representações que deles emergem. Os dados foram tratados com base na análise do discurso direcionada por corpus, que permitiu identificar a predominância de uma visão idealizada e fantasiosa da atividade de tradução e do papel do intérprete comunitário, manifestada linguisticamente por meio de palavras como “neutralidade”, “imparcialidade” e “precisão”, entre tantas outras. Percebe-se, que, embora produzidos por países com histórico de acolhimento de imigrantes e dotados de serviços de assistência linguística, os manuais veiculam conceitos reducionistas e essencialistas de uma suposta transparência e invisibilidade da atividade tradutória.
Applying MTPE to Sworn Translation: Bonus or Burden?
Authors: Albuquerque Aíla Fonseca de , Koglin Arlene
Published: February 2025

This article reports on a study that aimed to investigate the productivity of machine translation post-editing (MTPE) applied to the sworn translation of personal documents. More specifically, it aimed at describing some of the challenges of post-editing birth certificates and ID cards from Brazilian Portuguese into American English, as well as analyzing the time spent on the MTPE of such documents in comparison to manually translating them. The methodology consisted of timed and annotated translation using MTPE and human translation (HT). It also included the description of elements and final formatting that is characteristic of sworn translation. The PDF files were converted to Word using an OCR software. Our results indicated that MTPE might be more productive than HT when time spent on OCR and formatting is not considered. However, since the sample size was limited to eight documents and two types of documents, the results cannot be generalized.
Translation of Ancient Works During the First Two Years of the Full-scale Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Authors: Zubchenko Svyatoslav
Published: February 2025

The article attempts to systematize all Ukrainian-language translations from Latin and Ancient Greek that were published in Ukrainian publishing houses during the first two years of the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (from February 24, 2022, to February 24, 2024). The proposed research allows for an understanding of the current state of the book market, the place of translations of ancient classics within it, and, in the long term, to clarify the impact of the existential war on publishing and cultural processes in Ukraine, to forecast potential problems and challenges that this sector will face, and to outline possible ways to overcome them.

The aim of the article is to systematize and record trends in the field of translation from classical languages during the first two years of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

The goal of the work determined the solution of a number of specific tasks, the essence and sequence of which are determined by the logic of the research: 1) to find out the state of the publishing market in the first and second year of the full-scale invasion; 2) to analyze the reading tendencies of Ukrainian citizens (number of books read per year, place of purchase of new books, language of reading, most popular genres; 3) to form an idea about the Ukrainian translator of this period (problems of relocation, income, the most popular languages for translation); 4) to systematize the translations from Latin and ancient Greek published in 2022-2024, the publishers who took care of them and the cohort of translators who worked with classical material.

The article identifies the most productive translators, collects information about publishing houses that dealt with ancient material during this time, and outlines the problems and trends in the literary and translation field in Ukraine in accordance with the most relevant studies and surveys.

In particular, it was found that between 2022 and 2024, publishing houses reissued more old translations (sometimes with changes and additions) than published translations of classical works for the first time. A trend towards a decrease in the number of active publishers of ancient classics (predominantly concentrated in western Ukraine) was also highlighted, along with the maintenance of the same list of active translators from Ancient Greek and Latin (among whom A.O. Sodomora holds a prominent place). The article harmonizes with previous research efforts in the fields of bibliography, translation history, and classical philology, continuing, supplementing, and to some extent clarifying them.
The Military Vocabulary as a Component of Achilles Tatius’s Idiostyle
Authors: Chakal Inesa
Published: February 2025

The article attempts to characterize military vocabulary as an integral component of Achilles Tatius’s idiostyle, of an ancient Greek writer of the 2nd century AD, the author of one of the first love novels that have survived to our days in full – "Leucippe and Clitophon".

The purpose of the research was the classification, systematization and analysis of features of the vocabulary of the military sphere detected in the text of the novel, which required the use of analytical-descriptive, structural, quantitative methods. In the structure of the lexical idiosystem of Achilles Tatius’s novel the military vocabulary occupies a special place and includes 134 lexemes (706 word usages).

The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the fact that, for the first time, a systematic analysis of the vocabulary of military affairs in the work "Leucippe and Clitophon" was carried out in the article; military lexemes-terms were classified according to the lexical-semantic criterion into 10 thematic groups, among which the largest were "Military actions, maneuvering, tactics and strategy", "Military weapons and their use", and "Armed conflict"; the dominant ones among the military vocabulary (ὁ λῃστής, ἡ ναῦς, ὁ στρατηγός, τὸ ξίφος, ὁ πόλεμος, τὸ βέλος, ὁ σίδηρος, ὁ βουκόλος, ὁ στρατιώτης) are differentiated, which are considered as key words; the stylistic and functional role of individual lexical units belonging to the analyzed thematic groups is traced.

Among the lexemes of different thematic groups, non-equivalent vocabulary was found (τὸ ζῶμα, ὁ λοχαγός, ὁ λόχος, ὁ ὁπλίτης, ὁ παραστάτης, ὁ πελταστής, ὁ στρατηγός, ὁ βουκόλος, ἡ φάλαγξ), which serves to express military concepts absent in another culture or language, and a series of co-rooted words (the largest – 12 lexical units), which have different lexical meanings and belong to different parts of speech (ὁ στρατηγός, ὁ στρατιώτης, στρατικός, ὁ συστράτηγος, ἡ στρατεία, τό στράτευμα, ἡ στρατιά, τὸ στρατεπον, ὁ στρατος, συστρατεύομαι, στρατοπεδεύομαι, στρατεύομαι). The names of military concepts, objects, phenomena are included in the structure of many artistic figures (epithets, similes, oxymorons, hyperboles, metaphors, paraphrases).

Conclusions. Military terms and lexemes, skillfully used by Achilles Tatius, fully fulfill their definite-nominative function and influence the figurative system of the work, thus creating the unique writer’s idiostyle.

Factor analysis of time and cost overruns in construction of irrigation projects
Authors: Vinod Kumar Nayak Deeravath , Suresh Kumar N.
Published: February 2025

Most construction projects in Telangana, India, are subject to time and cost overruns. This phenomenon may adversely affect the progress of the construction industry in Telangana, India, and potentially lead to the collapse of many construction organizations. This study focuses on identifying and evaluating the factors contributing to time and cost overruns in construction projects in Telangana, India, specifically in the construction of irrigation projects. To achieve the objectives of this study, initial questionnaire surveys were conducted, followed by factor analysis of time and cost overruns. Approximately ten projects were visited, and data were collected over a span of twenty-two months. The factors causing time and cost overruns in irrigation construction projects in Telangana were categorized into four major groups: manpower-related, machinery-related, equipment-related, and financial-related. These factors were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software for factor analysis. Factor analysis was conducted using two distinct approaches: Exploratory Factor Analysis which explores underlying structures without prior hypotheses and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) which tests a pre-specified model, requiring prior knowledge. EFA and CFA are complementary techniques for understanding the underlying structure of a set of variables. CFA can refine the factor structure suggested by EFA. The combined results from these analyses contribute to the development of reliable and valid measurement scales.

This paper introduces a smart wearable belt designed for comprehensive cattle health monitoring. The belt features measurement markings and sensors to gauge the stomach size of cattle accurately, providing essential data for effective livestock management. It is used for various purposes, including monitoring nutritional intake, detecting digestive issues early, tracking pregnancy, identifying illness, assessing stress and behavior, managing breeding, and improving milk production and beef cattle's meat quality. The belt incorporates an Arduino-controlled system with a GSM module that sends automatic alerts when certain thresholds are met, facilitating timely interventions. This tool enhances cattle welfare and farm efficiency by enabling real-time monitoring and automated notifications.
Психологічна підготовка та підтримка співробітників правоохоронних органів в умовах гібридної війни
Authors: Андрієнко Сергій Сергійович
Published: February 2025

У статті досліджуються психологічні аспекти підготовки та підтримки співробітників правоохоронних органів в умовах гібридної війни. Важливість психологічної стійкості та готовності діяти в екстремальних умовах зростає в умовах воєнного стану, коли поліцейські стикаються з численними надзвичайними ситуаціями, що потребують миттєвого реагування, а також уміння приймати обґрунтовані рішення під тиском. Психологічна підготовка співробітників правоохоронних органів – це розвиток здатності до самоконтролю, управління власними емоціями та стресом, а також вміння швидко приймати рішення у критичних ситуаціях. Цей аспект підготовки є надзвичайно важливим для забезпечення стабільної та ефективної роботи правоохоронців, які надають допомогу населенню, що перебуває у стресових та небезпечних умовах. У статті детально розглянуто сучасні методи психологічної підтримки, до складу яких входять регулярні тренінги, що моделюють реалістичні бойові сценарії. Це дозволяє поліцейським навчатися ефективно діяти в умовах підвищеного стресу та співпрацювати з іншими членами команди для досягнення успіху в критичних ситуаціях. Основна увага зосереджується на питаннях надання першої психологічної допомоги потерпілим, що дозволяє співробітникам правоохоронних органів не лише ефективно виконувати свої службові обов’язки, але й зберігати довіру громадян до державних структур. Окремо розглядаються питання довгострокової психологічної підтримки працівників правоохоронних органів, яка передбачає впровадження системи професійної допомоги для співробітників, які працюють у зоні бойових дій. Важливою складовою цієї підтримки є запобігання розвитку посттравматичних стресових розладів та інших психічних порушень, які можуть впливати на загальний рівень безпеки та ефективності служби. Психологічна підготовка поліцейських в умовах гібридної війни є ключовим елементом у забезпеченні їхньої здатності ефективно діяти, зберігаючи при цьому власне психічне здоров’я та допомагаючи громаді, яку вони захищають.
Проєктування харчових продуктів з використанням технології 3D- і 4D-друку та його значення для розвитку адитивного виробництва

Published: February 2025

Потенціал персоналізованого харчування в найближчому майбутньому є одним із головних пояснень швидкого прогресу в 3D-друці їжі. Його важливість полягає в тому, що певні поживні речовини та сполуки, які зміцнюють здоров’я, можуть бути включені до формувань, які будуть надруковані, щоб полегшити перебіг хвороб споживачів або запобігти їх виникненню. Кращий естетичний вигляд, надрукованих на 3D-принтері харчових продуктів, збільшує їх привабливість серед споживачів, що сприяє комерційному успіху. За результатами дослідження встановлено, що з появою тривимірних принтерів і четвертою промисловою революцією з’явилося безліч альтернативних продуктів харчування. Серед них стійкі харчові інгредієнти з високою поживною цінністю, але низькою схожістю (наприклад, морські водорості, комахи та листя буряка), які перетворюються у форму порошку для вставлення в картридж 3D-харчового принтера. Вони також використовуються для кращого дизайну їжі зі зміненими формами та смаками, що є не тільки більш привабливими, але й легшими для споживання завдяки їхнім смаковим якостям. Для визначення ставлення споживачів до харчових продуктів, отриманих за допомогою адитивних технологій, було проведено анкетування серед 505 респондентів (49,1 % – чоловіки, 50,9 % – жінки). Більшість респондентів усіх вікових груп не схильні розділяти твердження, що створення персоналізованої їжі за рахунок 3D-друку дозволить збалансувати надходження поживних речовин в організм людини. Результати проведеного опитування підтверджують, що лише від припущення, що для 3D-друку харчового продукту використовуються нетрадиційні харчові матеріали або харчові відходи (рослинні матеріали з високим вмістом клітковини або побічні продукти переробки рослинної сировини, м’ясні залишки, комахи, мікроорганізми, водорості), одразу значно зменшується кількість охочих споживати таку їжу. Новація, яка передбачає зміну під дією мікрохвиль смаку, кольору і форми їжі, отриманої за допомогою 4D-друку, також не знаходить загального визнання. Абсолютно негативне ставлення до придбання такого харчового продукту зростає з 22,2 % у віковій групі 18–29 років до 72,7 % серед респондентів старше 50 років. Результати опитування вказують на низьку обізнаність респондентів про 3D- та 4D-друк харчових продуктів. Виробникам такої продукції варто зосередити зусилля на інформаційному просуванні нових продуктів із акцентом на використанні якісної сировини рослинного або тваринного походження. Також необхідно враховувати той факт, що будь-яка додаткова обробка продукту сприймається швидше негативно і посилює недовіру у споживачів. Отже, за результатами проведеного дослідження, зроблено висновок, що загальне зростання обізнаності клієнтів про персоналізовану їжу буде стимулювати пошук нових технологічних рішень, і проєктування харчових продуктів для друку на 3D-принтері має ґрунтуватись на ставленні до них споживачів, що є визначальним фактором для їх комерційного впровадження.
