This transition or process becomes an interesting aspect, when studied sociologically. The purpose of this research is to analyze the background of the change, from the procedure for carrying out the traditional ngaben to the crematorium. ngaben .The method used in this research is quantitative-descriptive, with data collection processes in the form of questionnaires, interviews and observations. The questionnaire was used to determine the percentage of the Balinese Hindu community regarding the existence of traditional ngaben to the crematorium ngaben. Then, interviews were conducted with several respondents, with the aim of knowing the existence of traditional cremation and the transition to the implementation of crematorium cremation. Finally, observations were made with the aim of observing the existence of a crematorium in a traditional village. The recommendation from this study is that the procedure for carrying out cremation, whether carried out traditionally or in a crematorium, is a ceremonial activity that needs to be maintained. The procedure for carrying out the liturgy can be carried out according to the previous pattern, or following the current developments of the times, provided that essentially the meaning and philosophical aspects of this liturgy are not diminished. The change in the procedure for burning corpses in the Hindu community in Bali is caused by various factors, such as efficiency, solidarity and ecology. The two types of cremation, are still practiced by Balinese Hindus today.

Application of the Problem-Based Learning Model to Improve Students' Understanding of Welding Defect Material
Authors: Yayan Srinatriyo  , Suhartadi Syarif , Yoto
Published: November 2023

The purpose of the study is to observe the Problem-Based Learning learning model; it is hoped that students, as prospective welding welders, can understand the types and forms of welding defects that arise to assess the quality of welding performed. This research was conducted on grade XI Las 2 students of SMKN 1 Udanawu using the classroom action research method (Classroom Action Research). The results of the research conducted obtained an increase in the average completeness results of students from the precycle, cycle I, and cycle II students of grade XI Las 2 SMKN 1 Udanawu, which initially only reached 30.2 in the precycle to 56.4 in cycle I and in cycle II to 81.3. This happens because, in practice-based learning, students only concentrate on practice and ignore theories related to welding defects. After Problem-Based Learning is carried out, students better understand the causes and effects of welding defects that arise. The factor that increases student understanding in cycles I and II is that learning is made in groups, so students are more active in identifying welding defects. In cycle II, students present the identification results so that students indirectly understand the material related to welding defects. From the increased learning outcomes, students can judge the welding quality performed.
GERMINATION AND SURVIVAL OF Nidularium innocentii Lem. (BROMELIACEAE), ORNAMENTAL BROMELIAD ON LOW-COST SUBSTRATES FOR CULTIVATION: AN ALTERNATIVE TO EXTRATIVISM
Authors: Anacleto Adilson , Jesus Pamela Natali Ferreira de
Published: November 2023

The extractivism of bromeliads in Paraná for ornamental purposes has been occurring since the 70's, due to the easy access in the forests, the high demand of consumers, and the small number of producers in the region. Among the species of this group stands out Nidularium innocentii Lem. as the second most extracted species with commercial purpose. The reversal of this situation may be associated with the implantation of agronomic crops, but there are few and sparse studies on the germination of this species. Thus, in this context a study was carried out in order to evaluate seed germination and survival on different substrates. Six alternative types of substrates that were easily accessible to the rural producer were tested: peat, coconut husk fiber, plantmax®, earthworm humus, humid pine bark and sieved agricultural soil. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, with four replicates and 25 seeds per experimental unit, at room temperature, in a greenhouse, with sprinkler irrigation for a period of 90 days. Nidularium inocentii showed germination on average at 7 days and maximum germination point was reached at 15.2 days, with an average of 65.8% of germination. Among the substrates tested, coconut husk fiber, peat and humid pine bark obtained the best results on seedling survival after seed germination. The study confirms the feasibility of sexual reproduction of the species for agronomic crops using low cost and locally abundant substrates.

Authors: Kavuşan H. S. , Çalişkan S. , Turgut F. , Serdaroğlu M.
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to explore the effects of different comminution degrees and the incorporation of a natural antioxidant on the quality attributes and oxidative reactions of turkey meat. Four distinctive turkey meat systems were established, namely: 3 mm minced treatment (M), 3 mm minced treatment with the addition of 200 ppm gallic acid equivalentAloe vera(Aloe barbadensisMill.) extract (MA), fine-ground treatment (FM), and fine-ground treatment with the addition of 200 ppm gallic acid equivalentAloe veraextract (FMA). The evaluation encompassed an in-depth analysis of various quality parameters and the assessment of lipid-protein oxidation reactions throughout the storage period. The inclusion ofAloe veraextract (AE) increased the pH and b* values while simultaneously decreasing the L* and a* values. Conversely, increasing the degree of comminuting manifested an elevation in L* values, concomitant with a decline in a* values. Increased comminuting degree ratios were found to contribute to an exacerbation of oxidative reactions. Nonetheless, the strategic utilization of AE demonstrated its potential to effectively mitigate oxidative reactions during storage.
Nutritional quality and health benefits of roselle calyces
Authors: Raphael D. O. , Ademoyegun O. T. , Ahmed R. S.
Published: November 2023

Roselle calyces (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) were evaluated through a critical study of existing research works on health benefits, mineral compositions, bioactive compositions, mechanisms, and possible research gaps. The use of roselle calyces as an alternative to synthetic food dyes, addressing growing global challenges of overweight, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases, was evaluated and encouraged. Studies indicate the attenuation of obesity by chlorogenic acid (the predominant phenolic compound in roselle calyx) via mechanisms associated with the UCP-1 and PGC-1α pathways, resulting in reduced blood lipid levels, reduced fat accumulation in the liver, and increased thermogenesis through fat metabolism. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of known bacteria and fungi, such as Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhimurium, Candida tropicalis, and Candida krusei, were studied. More research, however, needs to be conducted on organic acids present in roselle calyces to look into their possible applications and maximize their possible benefits.

Authors: Ojo O. A. , Oshin A. , Obadina O. A. , Oke E. K.
Published: November 2023

This study was aimed at determining the mineral and anti-nutritional properties of naturally fermented millet and pumpkin leaf flour blends. The millet grains were allowed to ferment spontaneously for 24 hrs and 48 hrs and were processed into flour. Dried pumpkin leaves were blended into flour and substituted using D-optimal mixture design, which resulted in ten experimental runs. The mineral content and the anti-nutritional properties of the flour blend formulation were analysed. Duncan’s multiple range test was used to evaluate the mean at p < 0.05 with SPSS version 21.0. Significant differences were observed in the mineral and anti-nutritional composition of the fermented millet and pumpkin leaf flour blends at 24 hrs and 48 hrs of fermentation time respectively. Calcium, potassium, and iron content increased significantly (p < 0.05) with increasing the amount of pumpkin leaf flour in the flour blends. The values for tannins and total phenolic composition ranged from 0.089 to 0.162% and from 0.075 to 0.120% for 24 hrs and from 0.080 to 0.141% and from 0.060 to 0.120% for 48 hrs of fermentation time respectively. Results showed that fermentation technique could be used to enrich the nutritional and bioactive potential of millet.
Stress response in bacteria originated from dairy products
Authors: Laslo É. , György É. , Szentpáli M.-R.
Published: November 2023

In some bacteria, the stress adaptation response, a defence mechanism against low pH, can also induce a number of physiological and genetic resistance mechanisms that provide advantages for bacteria to resist other environmental factors. This phenomenon is called cross-protection, which can potentially have serious consequences for food safety. In some fermented, acidified foods, low pH can provide a favourable environment for the growth of bacteria. Bacteria can adapt to acidic environments and become able to survive various factors that occur during storage and processing such as salt, antibiotics, or technological effects.

The microbiota of dairy products includes beneficial microorganisms, spoilage bacteria, and foodborne pathogens. The most common bacteria on various dairy products are Escherichia coli, Enterococcus sp., Staphylococcus sp., and Bacillus sp.

The aim of this research is to determine the resistance of the identified bacteria (16S rDNA-based bacterial identification) to antibiotics and osmotic pressure as a consequence of their possible defence mechanisms adapted to the acidic environment.
Aspectual Errors in Romanian and Serbian ESP Learners Majoring in Tourism and Hospitality Management
Authors: Novakov Predrag , Lazović Mihaela
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the interference of the mother tongue, Serbian and Romanian, in the case of students of English for Tourism and Hospitality Purposes (ESP) at the university level in the field of verbal aspect. The first part of the paper focuses on the ways in which the category of aspect is defined and expressed in Serbian and Romanian in comparison to English. It was hypothesised that the native speakers of these three languages may conceptualize verbal aspect rather differently, especially given their inherent relevant linguistic differences, particularly with Serbian having a more complex system of grammaticalized aspectuality than English and Romanian. This paper analyses the difficulties that Serbian and Romanian ESP learners might encounter in attempting to comprehend the features specific to aspect in English and in capturing the different aspectual uses of English verbs. For this analysis, a study was carried out featuring a questionnaire on the specific context of aspectual uses, which was completed by the participating Serbian and Romanian ESP students.
Medical Texts and Their Translation in Translator Training
Authors: Kovács Gabriella
Published: November 2023

With the development of medicine, the demand for the translation of medical texts has increased significantly. Translations play an important role in disseminating medical knowledge and new medical discoveries and are vital in the provision of health services to foreigners, tourists, or minorities. Translating medical texts requires a variety of skills. In our study, we assess the extent to which translation and interpretation students at Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania are able to translate medical texts from English into their mother tongue (Hungarian) and Romanian (the official language of the country). With the purpose of curriculum development, we examine whether the lack of medical knowledge affects the work of translators and what strategies can be used in translation in the absence of this expertise. We also examine our students’ attitude related to translating medical texts and becoming a medical translator.
Deprecatory Ethnonyms: The Case of Boanghin
Authors: Nagy Imola Katalin
Published: November 2023

In this study, we aim to analyse the origin and semantics of one of the lexemes used by Romanians to refer to Hungarians: boanghin(a), also used as boanghen(a). Besides a meta-analysis of this ethnic slur (emergence, meaning, semantic shifts, and etymology), we also refer to literary works in which these terms have been used. The archaic boanghin, or boanghen seems to be a political construct which has the purpose of naming the enemy and personifying the evil. It is a typical case of verbal abuse, mockery, or insult which used to display a significant amount of collectively formed, pejorative connotation. Today it is old-fashioned, as it has been replaced by another slur, i.e. bozgor, which is going to be presented in a forthcoming study.
Cultural Models of the Body Parts Hand and Hair in Hungarian Archaic Prayers
Authors: Baranyiné Kóczy Judit
Published: November 2023

Body part names are productive sources of metaphoric and metonymic expressions, which constitute coherent constructions in the languages. These cognitive cultural models are subconsciously known to all cultural community members (D’Andrade 1992). In the paper, I explore how culture influences the conceptualizations of body parts. The theoretical framework is Cultural Linguistics (Sharifian 2017), which investigates cultural conceptualizations in language. The data and analysis presented here consider the uses of ‘hand’ and ‘hair’ metaphors and metonymies in Hungarian archaic prayers, which represent a specific subculture mingling elements of the Christian religion with other (pagan or shamanistic) belief systems. The corpus of the study is Erdélyi’s collection of 321 archaic prayers (2013 [1976]), from which all representations of ‘hand’ and ‘hair’ are selected and conceptually analysed. The results show that 1) the figurative functions of the two body parts partly correspond to metaphors which are also found in secular Hungarian (e.g. hand for help, hand for care, hand for action); however, in the archaic prayers, they often take form in specific meanings (hand for help to get into heaven, hand for providence, hand for control); 2) their figurative uses strongly rely on cultural schemas which are attached to people and events. It is concluded that the body parts under consideration have fundamentally different cultural models in prayers than in secular usage.

Published: November 2023

Ancient costumes are a valuable historical heritage of Chinese civilization, and the preservation of traditional culture is an essential contemporary research topic. However, exhibiting precious cultural relics will risk damage, but digitizing traditional costumes can effectively solve this problem through virtual exhibition, and help traditional costume culture spread more widely with the help of technology. The article took sixteen costumes worn by the owner of the tomb of Zhao Boyun of the Southern Song Dynasty in Huangyan as the object of study, analyzed their structural dimensions and fabric patterns, and digitally restored them using the style3D software system. Finally, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process evaluated the garment restoration effect. This approach effectively combines the conservation of cultural relics and cultural inheritance with information technology and digitalization, which provides new ideas for disseminating traditional costumes and promotes the heritage and development of ancient Chinese costumes.

However, these alternatives binders face challenges, among others related to durability. The present work regards to a short literature review about the durability in concrete produced with binders that are alkali-activated materials. The mechanisms of degradation are discussed, namely due to acid attack, capillarity, carbonation, permeability , porosity and steel corrosion. Comparison to the  concrete that used Portland cement as binder is frequently used.

BBackground: Head trauma is an urgent medical condition that is prevalent in pediatric patients. The association between white blood cell (WBC) counts and their prognostic value in pediatric traumatic brain injury has been proposed in multiple studies. Hence, WBC count can be used to determine the presence of traumatic brain injury. Thus, we aimed to address this gap by assessing the value of WBC count in predicting pathological CT findings in pediatric patients with traumatic head injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 108 patients with isolated head trauma aged 0–14 years who underwent brain CT examination and had available data on WBC count upon presentation to the emergency room. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to determine the statistical significance. Logistic regression analysis was performed to further explore the relationships between the variables.
Results: Falls were the most common cause of head trauma (88 [81.48%] patients). Leukocytosis was reported in 35 (32.41%) patients and non-leukocytosis in 73 (67.59%) patients. Sixty-four patients (59.26%) had pathological brain CT findings, whereas 44 (40.74 %) had non-pathological findings. The leukocytosis status differed (odds ratio [OR]=0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]=2.55–0.38; P= 0.9839) according to the pathological CT findings, but the difference was not significant. Age (0–2 years) and Glasgow Coma Scale score (≤14) were significant predictors of pathological brain CT findings (OR=3.79, 95% CI=9.24–1.55, P=0.0033 and OR=14.04, 95% CI=127.59–1.54, P=0.0189, respectively).
Conclusion: The presence of leukocytosis is useful for predicting pathological brain scan findings. Therefore, further multicenter studies with a larger sample size are warranted to determine the benefits of WBC count in patients with head trauma.

Makarna besleyici olması ve kolay hazırlanabilir olması nedenleriyle sıkça tüketilen bir yiyecektir. Karbonhidrat içeriği yüksek olan makarna, Durum buğday unu ve yumurtanın yoğurulması ile elde edilen hamurun farklı şekillerde açılarak kurutulmasıyla üretilmektedir. Buğdayının protein bileşeni olan glüten, makarnada yüksek miktarda bulunmaktadır. Ancak glütene karşı alerjisi bulunan çölyak hastalarının glütensiz ürünler tüketmek zorunda olmasından ve glütensiz beslenmeyi tercih eden bireylerin taleplerinden dolayı glütensiz ürün pazarı giderek büyümektedir. Kenevir tohumu yüksek miktarda uçucu yağ içeriğinden dolayı kenevir yağı eldesinde kullanılmaktadır. Fakat yağı ayrılan kenevir posasının atık olmasını önlemek ve yüksek besleyici özelliklerini değerlendirmek amacıyla öğütülerek un haline getirilebilmektedir. Bu amaçla, bu çalışmada soğuk baskı ile yağı alınmış kenevir ununun glütensiz diğer bir un çeşidi olan pirinç ununun farklı oranlarda (%100-75/25-50/50) karıştırılası ile makarna örnekleri üretilmiştir. Elde edilen örneklerin fiziksel analizleri (ağırlık ve hacim artışı, renk, suya geçen madde miktarı), toplam fenolik madde miktarı analizi ve duyusal analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiş olup duyusal analiz verileri çok kriterli karar verme tekniklerinden TOPSIS yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre kenevir posası unu miktarı arttıkça hacim ve ağırlık artışı meydana gelmekte, duyusal kabul edilebilirlik azalmakta ancak fenolik madde miktarı artış göstermektedir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, yağı alınmış kenevir posası ununun pirinç unu ile birlikte glütensiz makarna üretiminde kullanılabileceği söylenebilir.

Sanatı Desteklemek: Burjuvazi ve Sanat Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Bu makale, burjuvazinin belirli kesimlerinin üst düzey sanat formlarını neden desteklediği hakkındadır. Bankacılık, enerji, hukuk, demir çelik, kimya veya otomotiv gibi ekonominin değişik sektörlerinde faaliyet yürüten şirketlerin senfoni orkestraları kurmalarının, operalara sponsor olmalarının, baleleri finanse etmelerinin gerisinde, rant motivasyonuyla sanat piyasasına ya da kâr amacıyla kültür endüstrisine yatırım yapmalarından daha farklı nedenler yatmaktadır. Burjuvazinin sanata yatırım yapması ile sanatı desteklemesi arasında ayrım yapılmalıdır. Temel amacı kâr maksimizasyonu olan burjuvazinin rant getiren sanat piyasasında ve artık-değer üreten kültür endüstrisinde aktif olması anlaşılabilir bir durumdur. Buna karşılık burjuvazinin temel faaliyet alanlarından elde ettiği kârın bir kısmıyla üst düzey sanat formlarını desteklemesinin ardında yatan gerekçeler, sanat piyasasına ve kültür endüstrisine yatırım yapma amacında olduğu gibi bir bakışta gözlemlenemez. Bu amaçların neler olabileceğinin sorunsallaştırılması gerekir. Bu sorunsaldan hareket eden makalede öncelikle burjuvazinin sanatla ilişkisinin farklı biçimleri ele alınmıştır. Bunun ardından burjuvazinin sanatın üst düzey formlarını destekleme biçimleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu sergilemeyi takiben burjuvazinin belirli sanat formlarını destekleme nedenlerine ilişkin üç düzeyli bir analiz ortaya konmuştur. Sanata verilen destek tekil düzeyde bir burjuvanın ya da bir şirketin çıkarıyla; tikel düzeyde bir sınıf olarak burjuvazinin çıkarıyla; tümel düzeyde ise evrensel bağlamda burjuvazinin sınıfsal hegemonya hedefleriyle ilişkili olarak tartışılmıştır. Bu üç düzeyli tartışmada Antonio Gramsci’nin sınıf bilincinin uğraklarına ilişkin analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Burjuvazi, homojen bir sınıf olmadığı için sanatın üst düzey formlarını bütün kesimleri ve üyeleriyle desteklemez. Burjuvazinin kendi içinde sanat formları karşısında gösterebileceği farklı eğilimlere ve içsel farklılaşmalara ilişkin çerçeve Karl Marx’ın sınıf teorisine dayandırılmıştır.
