Heavy metals (HMs) are naturally occurring elements with high atomic weights and a density at least five times greater than water. HMs can be released into the soil, water, and air through industrial, domestic, agricultural run-offs, medical and technological activities. Thirty wild fresh catfish were bought from two major fish markets in Maiduguri (Custom and Monday markets). Zinc (Zn) and Arsenic (As) were determined by Atomic Absorption spectrophotometer. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptivestatistics and independent sample t-tests. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of the metals was calculated, and the target cancer risk (TCR), target hazard quotient (THQ), and hazard index (HI) was derived. The mean concentration (mg/Kg ± SD) of Zn in the liver (0.26 ± 0.32) was higher compared to that in muscle (0.22 ± 0.27), but this was not statistically different (t (58) = 0.608, p = 0.545). However, the mean concentration of As in the liver (0.27 ± 0.33) was lower compared to that in the muscle (0.28 ± 0.23), but this was not statistically different (t (52) = -0.003, p = 0.997). Although, no significant statistical difference, the mean concentration ranking of Zn based on the Fish market was Monday market > custom market, while that of As was custom market > Monday market. EDI values were within tolerable limits. TCR, THQ, and HI values obtained were below the threshold of 1. In conclusion, HMs (Zn and As) were detected in the liver and muscle of all fish samples tested at a lower rate compared to their Maximum Permissible Limits (MPLs) set by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, because of their non-degradable nature and tendency to bio-accumulate in fish tissues and organs, it can be concluded that long-term consumption poses a greater Public Health risk of HMs intoxications in the study area. Therefore, fish consumers should be enlightened more about the harmful effects of HM toxicity by relevant health authorities.

Gastric rupture is a highly fatal condition in horses. There is no report of primary gastric rupture in Nigeria. This case report presents an adult female West African Dongola horse in the Zoological Garden, University of Ibadan, that died as a result of primary gastric rupture. The patient was found dead in the early hours of the day. Post-mortem analysis revealed abdominal distention; a congested and non-collapsed left lung; an enlarged heart with ecchymotic haemorrhages on the epicardium; ingesta (grain) in the abdominal cavity, including the peritoneal wall and serosal surface of the gastrointestinal viscera; a seromuscular and mucosal tear along the greater curvature of the stomach; and a distended and flabby stomach with a rupture site 25cm long. There was also haemorrhage along the rupture margins. A diagnosis of primary gastric rupture due to grain overload was made. Proper monitoring and nutritional management are essential measures to prevent gastric rupture due to grain overload.

The Effect of Supplementation of Oak Tannin Extract on Digestibility, Metabolisable Energy, Methane Production and Ammonia Production in Lamb Diets
Authors: DEMİR Ahmet Salih , KAMALAK Adem
Published: January 2024

The aim of current experiment was to determine the effect of supplementation of oak tannin extract on gas production, methane production, digestibility, metabolisable energy and ammonia production of lamb diets using in vitro gas production technique. Oak tannin extract was included into total mixed ration at the 0, 2, 4 and 6 % on a dry matter basis. Although supplementation of oak tannin had no significant effect on gas, methane whereas supplementation had a significant effect on ammonia production of lamb diets. Gas and methane production of total mixed rations ranged from 50.25 to 53.25 ml and 7.72 to 8.15 ml respectively. Ammonia concentration of mixed rations ranged from 54.97 to 62.67 mg/100 ml. The decrease in ammonia of lamb diets per g oak supplementation was 0.1263 mg /100 ml. Metabolisable energy and organic matter digestibility of lamb diets ranged from 10.42 to 10.80 MJ kg DM and 70.27 to 73.02 % respectively. This study clearly showed that oak tannin had an anti-proteolytic potential for ruminant animals and supplementation of oak tannin significantly reduced ammonia production without compromising digestibility of diets. Therefore, oak tannin can be used to manipulate the rate and extent of degradation of protein in the rumen. However, before large implication, oak tannin should be further investigated using in vivo experiment to determine the toxic level of oak tannin in ruminant animals.

Maenpo Cikalong adalah aliran pencak silat asal Jawa Barat tepatnya Kecamatan Cikalong, Kabupaten Cianjur. Aliran pencak silat atau bela diri ini pertama kali diciptakan dan dikembangkan oleh Raden Jayaperbata atau dikenal juga dengan nama Raden Haji Ibrahim di Cikalong, Cianjur. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana proses dan sejarah terciptanya Maenpo Cikalong serta bagaimana proses perkembangannya sejak awal hingga diakui UNESCO. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian sejarah menurut Kuntowijoyo yaitu pemilihan topik, heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Dari penelitian ini, dapat diketahui bahwa Seni Bela Diri Maenpo telah ada sejak tahun 1907 dengan dipelopori oleh Raden Haji Ibrahim. Maenpo Cikalong pada awal perkembangannya hanya dapat dipelajari oleh kalangan-kalangan tertentu seperti kalangan manak Cianjur dan keturunan dari Raden Haji Ibrahim saja. Hal tersebut dikarenakan Maenpo Cikalong memiliki perbedaan  dengan aliran-aliran bela diri lainnya. Yang membedakan Maenpo Cikalong dengan aliran bela diri lainnya yaitu Maenpo Cikalong lebih mengutamakan rasa dibandingkan kekerasan fisik, maka dari itu Maenpo Cikalong akan berbahaya apabila dikuasai oleh orang-orang sembarangan yang tidak bertanggungjawab. Namun seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, maenpo Cikalong akhirnya dapat dipelajari oleh semua kalangan masyarakat khususnya masyarakat Cianjur. Maenpo Cikalong bahkan diakui sebagai warisan budaya seni bela diri asli Indonesia oleh UNESCO pada tahun 2019.
Detection and prevention of iron deficiency in donors of blood (blood components)
Authors: Grishina GV , Krobinets II , Kasyanov AD , Sidorkevich SV
Published: January 2024

The problem of iron deficiency among donors is relevant and directly affects the provision of hemocomponents to the blood service. Donors, being a risk group for the development of iron deficiency, are examined before donation, including a study of hemoglobin levels. However, there is no information about the state of iron stores, when depleted, iron deficiency anemia develops. In turn, anemia is a contraindication to donation and, therefore, leads to medical exemptions from donation. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the main indicators of iron metabolism in donors of blood and (or) blood components at risk of developing latent iron deficiency. The examination of 174 donors included a hemogram, assessment of the level of hemoglobin, serum ferritin (SF), transferrin, and soluble transferrin receptors. When assessing the intensity of changes in reserve and transport iron indicators, 228 deviations from the reference range were analyzed. The criterion for the risk of developing iron deficiency was hemoglobin values at the lower limit of normal (130–135 g/l in men and 120–125 g/l in women) and the threshold level of ferritin (30 μg/l in male donors and 20 μg/l in women). The risk group included 58.3% of young donors — women who donate blood 1–2 times during the year (p < 0.01) and 66.6% (p < 0.01) of donors — men who donate blood regularly throughout 4 and > years. The average ferritin level in male donors was 27.37 μg/l (p < 0.02) and lower than the reference values. It is concluded that it is advisable to assess the indicators of iron metabolism in donors in the case of borderline hemoglobin levels, in women of reproductive age after 2 blood donations and in men with the number of donations ≥ 10. To replenish the iron depot in the body, when iron deficiency is detected in donors, it is necessary to consider the issue of prevention.

Impact of Vitamin D Supplementation in the Therapy Of Tuberculosis
Authors: Ibrahim Abdullah Muhammadu , Abdulkadir Bashir , Garba Bawa-Sani Hafsatu , Hussaini Mujahid , Ibrahim O R , Umar F M , Bello Bolanle Habibat
Published: January 2024

Ultraviolet B (UV-B) synthesis occurs when the skin is exposed to sunshine and produces vitamin D as a result. Additionally, nutritional supplements and diet can provide it. Animals are the primary source of vitamin D. Vitamin D has been identified as a risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) disease and infection. It is considered that vitamin D influences the release of antimicrobial peptides like cathelicidin in response to viral and bacterial stimuli, which is thought to affect both the innate and adaptive immune systems. This essay sought to provide an outline of vitamin D's role in the treatment of tuberculosis. For journal articles, reports, and reliable sources, several databases were searched to compile pertinent information. Additionally, search terms were utilised interchangeably to find pertinent materials. The majority of the literature revealed a connection between vitamin D levels and TB. Furthermore, research has indicated that certain vitamins, including Vitamins C and D, have antimycobacterial capabilities. Despite contradicting data about the relationship between Vitamin D Deficiency (VDD) and the risk of tuberculosis, vitamin D supplementation is still a viable strategy. The analysis of the impact of vitamin D supplementation as a potential therapeutic intervention for TB infection should pay more attention to exploring larger sample sizes and metabolite chemicals.

Authors: Bobykina Irina A.
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the experience of organizing foreign language education in a non-linguistic Russian university. The author draws attention to the signifi cance of the influence of current socio-economic, political, methodological and individual factors on the pedagogical system under study. Key factors include integration processes, social and academic mobility, digitalization of various spheres of life, and the demand for English in society. The key changes in its structural components are described: target, content and technological. There is a differentiation of the goals of foreign language education at the bachelor’s and specialty/master’s levels, which require not only mastering the ability for oral and written foreign language communication, but also the ability to apply modern communication technologies in the target language. The modern educational space, which predetermines greater subjectivity of the student, and a clearer differentiation of goals and results determine the task of studying the claims, expectations and needs of foreign language students in a non-linguistic university, as well as updating the content of foreign language education in order to ensure that students can acquire personal experience in their future professional fi eld , and life activity in general. One of the innovative tasks of university foreign language teachers is the design and implementation of an interactive innovative educational environment. At the same time, it is necessary to recognize the need to study the didactic possibilities of
interaction in the educational process with artifi cial intelligence. The results of the analysis of the presented experience made it possible to identify the specifi cs of the current state of the foreign language education system in a non-linguistic university and to identify promising directions for its further study in order to fi nd effective ways of management and timely transformation.

The need for formal advanced training for teachers and managers is, today, an obligatory component both for self-education and for passing attestation procedures. However,
every year the requirements for educators are growing, which imposes a certain responsibility on the educational activities of organizations of additional professional education, as well as on the choice of the content of additional professional education. One of the tools that helps to determine the conceptual directions of training and development within the current tracks of the educational system is the educational program developed by organizations of additional professional education. The purpose of the research consists in identifying, through the analysis of legal documents and scientifi c research, the main directions and criteria for selecting the content of additional professional advanced training programs. Methodology (materials and methods). The analysis of normative documents and scientifi c publications on the topic of the study was carried out and the directions for updating programs and the criteria for selecting content for additional professional programs were identifi ed. The results. The study revealed that the content of additional professional training programs primarily depends on the current trends in the education system, as well as on the requests of the consumers of these services themselves. Therefore, in organizations of additional professional education, a system should be created for updating additional professional programs that consider the current directions of the education system, as well as a system for collecting the needs of pedagogical and executive education workers for the development of new competencies in the fi eld of education

Published: January 2024

The article discusses the problem of professional and pedagogical diffi culties of future teachers and overcoming them. The results of a survey of senior students about the reasons that make it diffi cult for them to communicate with students are analyzed, which confirmed that one of the most important reasons for professional and pedagogical diffi culties is the lack of developed pedagogical communication skills
among future teachers. The article presents the results of a survey of 4th year students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages of the South Ural State Humanitarian and Pedagogical University who completed teaching practice. The authors of the article also analyzed the diaries of student interns, presented based on the results of industrial (teaching) practice in the 4th year. The authors identifi ed and presented in the text of the article the diffi culties that students encountered during their internship. The article describes the experience of working with students in the format of a workshop, which is educational in nature and aimed at preventing professional and pedagogical diffi culties of future teachers. The content of optional educational meetings with students, aimed
at gaining them new knowledge about the features of communication between various subjects of education and applying this knowledge in practice, is described in detail. It is stated that the introductory stage of the workshop contributed to the formation of a positive psychological climate in the group and the development of self-presentation and self-presentation skills, the main stage of the work made it possible to introduce students to modern technologies of effective psychological-pedagogical interaction in theory and practice, and the fi nal stage, dedicated to micro-teaching, contributed to the deepening of methodological training future teachers and developing their self-reflection skills. It is concluded that the work carried out will allow future teachers to skillfully build relationships with various subjects of the educational process and overcome professional and pedagogical diffi culties. The authors consider the activation of such forms of work with students as the analysis of problem situations and microteaching as the most promising areas for using the experience of preventing professional and pedagogical diffi culties of future teachers.

Published: January 2024

The integration of profi le-oriented training at the senior stages of school education is aimed at professional self-determination of students. The results of the educational process are defi ned in the relevant regulatory legal documents, on the basis of which the modern system of education is built. According to the requirements refl ected in these documents, the state currently sees the need to teach high school students how to work with textual information as a way of transmitting existing knowledge, for communication, and as a tool for receiving new information, in order to enrich existing knowledge. Such an organization of the learning process is aimed at creating a unifi ed educational space and establishing interdisciplinary connections. According to the requirements of the standards, students of specialized classes must be taught written profi le-oriented translation of popular scientifi c texts. However, in the available scientifi c research on the topic of teaching translation, the question of teaching this type of speech activity directly from a professional point of view is most widely disclosed. The authors argue that it is wrong to talk about the formation of translation competence in the framework of training in a specialized high school class, but it is possible to form the foundations of translation competence. Taking into account the generally accepted structural and content composition of translation competence, the peculiarities of the organization of the learning process in the senior profi le school and the subject results of profi le and noncore subjects (using the example of a socio-economic profi le with a profi le subject “Economics”), the structural and content composition of the foundations of translation competence in the form of three components: linguistic, subject-oriented and information-orientedtechnological, which are implemented in the process of forming the required competence in three aspects: cognitive, activity and analytical.

Authors: Tetina Svetlana V. , Gutrova Yulia V.
Published: January 2024

The scientifi c and theoretical article deals with the currently relevant problem of the methodology of organizing the professional activities of teachers to improve the skills of forming functional literacy of students. The formation of functional literacy of students remains a priority in the work of teachers. It is suggested that ensuring the improvement of the teacher’s competencies in the fi eld of the formation of functional literacy of students is due to changes in legislative documents in the fi eld of education of the Russian Federation, namely, in strengthening and specifying the achievement of educational results of students in terms of the formation of meta-subject competencies in the development of the basic educational program. The achievement of the demanded results of the educational process correlates with the level of professional skill of the teacher. The purpose of the article is to identify a certain set of components of the methodological system that allow improving the professional competencies of teachers. The presented methodological system includes a number of components, such as valuemotivational, ideological, cognitive and behavioral. Each component of the system carries certain functions and resources. The content analysis of the literature proves the relevance of the discussed research problem. The scientifi c novelty of the article lies in the presented methodological system of the organization of professional activity of teachers, the specifi cation of each component of the methodological system focused on the integration of professional and personal knowledge of teachers in
the context of the formation of functional literacy of students. The theoretical signifi cance of the article lies in the fact that new prospects for the organization of methodological improvement of teaching staff are opening up. The practical signifi cance lies in the possibility of implementing a methodological system for organizing the professional activities of teachers within the framework of the system of professional development of teaching staff. The obtained theoretical results of the study may be in demand when developing additional professional training programs for teaching staff.

The relevance of the study of the theory and practice of reputation management of higher educational institutions is of an enduring nature. In the second and third decades of the 21st century, the conceptual and applied rethinking of this activity was signifi cantly infl uenced by the state rating projects “5-100”, “Priority-2030” and MosIUR, which presented a list of assessment requirements for the work of building the reputation of universities and allowed it to be focused.The formal indicators of their eff ectiveness contained in the projects do not exhaust the list of positions that make up the content of the attractive image of a higher education institution, but are the result of their implementation. In order to update this list, the article uses methods and structure that involve the analysis of conceptual theoretical foundations for building the image, reputation and brand of an organization – a subject of socio-economic relations, including a university; general overview of activities within the framework of the “5-100”, “Priority-2030” and MosIUR projects; as well as qualitative studies of the experience of their implementation by the 4 Russian Universities.

THE PROBLEM OF USAGE FEMINITIVES IN RUSSIAN–SPEAKING MEDIA: MEDIADISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF 2022
Authors: Klemenchenok Maria A. , Gromova Tamara M.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the use of feminitives in the Russian-language media discourse in 2022. The empirical base includes news (“Kommersant”, “Vedomosti”, “Izvestia”) and entertainment (“No, this is normal”, Wonderzine, “Knife”) media. Based on the texts of 2022, a comparative analysis of the frequency of use of feminitives and masculinatives in the text was carried out on the basis of 20 paired lexemes. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the issue of using feminitives is acute in modern Russian-speaking media. In relation to this issue, the media has been conditionally divided into more traditional, nonconformist and those who are between these poles. On the Internet, this topic provokes a violent reaction from the audience. Some netizens, noticing a feminitive in the text, may leave a negative review about the material, even if the material is not written about feminism. This topic causes a lot of discussions, the media audience has questions about the use of feminitives. Thus, it was found that in 2022, professionalisms with suffi xes of femininity were more common in entertainment publications than in news. Journalists of news publications resorted to the use of feminitives in creative materials, such as reviews. It is concluded that last year many media outlets used feminitives for reasons of increasing the visibility of women in society, as well as their active participation in various spheres of life. Also, feminitives can be used to consolidate existing stereotypes, convey attitudes towards the person in question and to refl ect their ideological position. This is due to the fact that the use of feminitives is conditioned by the communicator’s attitude to feminism.
TEXT IN NEW MEDIA: SPECIFICITY OF THE VERBAL COMPONENT
Authors: Panova Elena Y. , Khisamutdinova Valeria S.
Published: January 2024

The priority tasks in the article are 1) understanding the phenomenon of new media as a technical, social and communicative phenomenon, 2) describing the specifi cs of new media in terms of semiotic, functional features, features of information decoding and derived features of the text of new media, genetically related to the traditional text, but transforming in the conditions of a new sociality. To solve the second problem, the texts of the news community “Lentach” (social network “VKontakte”) for the period from March 2022 to March 2023 were considered as empirical material and a number of their specifi c features were established. The thematic fi eld of the analyzed texts was not a relevant feature for solving the problems of this article, but in order to achieve a long-term goal (determining the communicative strategies of a media text), the selection of texts was based on the criterion of the presence of political topics in the text (aspects of foreign and domestic policy were taken into account). In the polycode media text of new media, within the framework of this article, the object of attention was its verbal component: the traditional nature of its presence in the media message was noted and a number of specifi c features were established at diff erent levels of text organization. At the phonetic-graphic level, visual techniques for segmenting information and simulating oral speech are observed; on morphemic – intensifi cation of creative word-formation processes; on lexical – stylistic and speech interference, instrumental use of tropes and lexical resources, specifi c metaphorization of the text; at the syntactic level – activation of expressive syntax. In the texts of new media, as in traditional ones, variations of the language game are found, the functions of which can be considered the self-identifi cation of the linguistic personality, the eff ects of media infl uence, the activation of the dialogue potential of the media text, the destruction of the classical linearity of the media text.
MEDIATORS OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL TRANSITIONS IN CINEMA: AN ATTEMPT AT CLASSIFICATION
Authors: Prokofeva Viktoria Yu.
Published: January 2024

The cinema of the 21st century has reached such technical heights that it can show any world on the screen, no matter how incredible the chronotope turns out to be. The science fi ction genre, in demand at all times, is now supplemented with elements
of mysticism, horror, detective story, drama, etc., and these plots are often built on all kinds of movements with the help of some kind of intermediary. This can be either a special time machine of various confi gurations designed for such movements (a car or
other man-made device), or home artifacts and loci, whose transition possibilities are discovered by the characters by chance: a diary, a mirror, a clock, a window, plumbing (“Hot Tub Time Machine”, “The Butterfl y effect”, “Time lapse”, “Window to Paris”, “Save Pushkin”, “Samyy Novyy god!”), etc. The portal can be a natural object (a cave in the TV series “Dark”, a lake in “Black Hunters”), urban: a tunnel, an abandoned room (“Enter Nowhere”) or a completely exotic item that works only individually (“The Jacket”), or there may be familiar locations through which transitions to alternative realities are possible under certain conditions. Sometimes it’s not an object that becomes such a portal, but a person’s state: a dream (“Inception”, “Alibi”, “RRRrrrr!!!”) or death (“Boss Level”, “Russian Doll”, “Before I Fall”, “ARQ” ). In the fi rst case, the character fi nds himself either in a different continuum within the dream, or is transported only in time or only in space, waking up in someone else’s body in the name of good causes - preventing an explosion (“Source Code”), catching a serial killer (“The Dark Side of the Moon” ), etc. In the second case, the plot is usually cyclical, the viewer is waiting for the character to get out of this “Groundhog Day”.
THE NARRATIVE OF NORMALIZING IN THE MEDIA DISCOURSE AS A PHENOMENON OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD
Authors: Fedorov Vasiliy V.
Published: January 2024

In transitive periods, an axiological request appears – the need to protect, eliminate the opposed to the norm in various forms as a reaction to socio-political and socio-cultural phenomena of modernity. An intertextuality education is being formed in the media discourse around the subject-thematic fi eld “bringing to the norm”, which can be designated as a narrative about bringing to the norm. Here, the area of violation of the norm extends to different thematic blocks, especially relevant to the current news agenda, becomes the conceptual basis for the formation of factuality. The cognitive basis of the content of such a narrative is, on the one hand, a template story about events related to the elimination of violations of the social norm, on the other hand, speech stereotypical structures semantically united by the meaning of the language norm.

Pemanfaatan pemodelan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) dalam pengembangan sumber daya panas bumi telah banyak dilakukan mulai dari tahap survei awal, eksplorasi hingga eksploitasi atau produksi. Tujuan pemodelan SIG ini adalah untuk mendelineasi lokasi tertentu yang dianggap memiliki prospek bumi atau cocok untuk fasilitas produksi lapangan panas bumi. Studi ini bertujuan mendapatkan peta area rekomendasi tapak sumur (wellpad) untuk lokasi pengeboran sumur eksplorasi panas bumi yang optimal dengan mempertimbangkan parameter teknis dan non teknis. Studi ini dilakukan di area prospek panas bumi Cisolok-Cisukarame di Kabupaten Sukabumi, Provinsi Jawa Barat. Peta tersebut dihasilkan dengan mengintegrasikan delapan parameter yang akan mempengaruhi besarnya biaya pengeboran, yaitu area prospek, kemiringan lahan, kedalaman puncak reservoir, struktur geologi, sumber air, jalan akses, area pemukiman, area manifestasi permukaan, dan area cagar budaya. Pada tahap awal, terhadap parameter-parameter tersebut dilakukan pembuatan area bufer dan klasifikasi dengan rentang nilai tertentu berdasarkan beberapa pertimbangan. Selanjutnya dilakukan integrasi data spasial menggunakan operasi vector overlaying Boolean. Hasilnya adalah peta area rekomendasi tapak sumur eksplorasi panas bumi Daerah Cisolok-Cisukarame dengan luas sekitar 6,31 km2 (19,62 % dari luas area prospek P90). Dengan menggunakan grid jala ukuran 120 meter menghasilkan delapan area kluster besar dan lima area kluster kecil yang cocok sebagai tapak sumur lubang standar. Sedangkan dengan ukuran grid jala 50 meter menghasilkan jumlah kluster yang sama dan lima kluster lain yang lebih kecil. Hasil studi ini dapat dijadikan sebagai rekomendasi area untuk dijadikan lokasi tapak sumur dan perencanaan kegiatan survei lapangan selanjutnya seperti survei geoteknik dan survei infrastruktur.

Background: The MBBS course is a long and stressful course throughout the world for undergraduate medical students. There is a growing concern about stress among medical students and its effects. Although each year of medical students is characterized by unique stress, the students in their first year are more prone to stressful situations. The reasons include academic pressure, unrealistic expectations and unfamiliarity in a new environment. These stresses are badly affecting their physical and mental health, which also affects their academic performance.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study over four weeks in the year 2022, conducted at different medical colleges in Sylhet. The sample size was 286 first-year MBBS students in different medical colleges. The sampling technique was a non-probability convenient type. Data were collected by using the pretested Medical Students Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ) and examined using SPSS, version 22.

Results: A total of 286 medical students were recruited, with age range of 19-21years; among them, 90 were male and 196 were female. The maximum number of students found to have moderate stress (185, 64.7%) followed by much stress (80, 28.0%).There were few students with no stress (0.3%), extreme stress (1.0%), and mild stress (5.9%) found in this study. The unpaired t-test showed significantly higher (p = <0.001) stress among females (3.82±0.49) than males (3.52±0.49).

Conclusion: It can be concluded that the vast majority of students experienced moderate stress, and analysis highlighted a greater association with academic factors. So, the purpose of our study is to design a proper curriculum for our students where mental health will be given priority.

Background: Thalassemias and hemoglobinopathies are the most common inheritant hemolytic congenital disorders in Bangladesh.There is no well precise validated data available about the prevalence of Thalassaemia and related hemoglobin disorders in Bangladesh.

Method: This retrospective, cross-sectional observational study was carried out in Dr.Benzamin’s Pediatric Liver Research Centre and Nutrition Clinic, Sylhet, Bangladesh. We reviewed the data record software of the hematology section of the Popular Diagnostic Centre and Mount Adora Hospital, Sylhet, from March, 2022 to July, 2023 and collected all the Hemoglobin electrophoresis reports.A total of 783patients data were evaluated, and the data were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 22. The aim of the study was to identify the pattern of Thalassemia and other Hemoglobinopathies in Sylhet, Bangladesh.

Result: Out of 783 patients, 291(37.2%) were male, 492 (62.8%) female, pediatric population that is under 18 years 387 (44.4%) and 18 years or more 396(50.6%). Among these, 262 (33.46%) reports showed Hemoglobinopathies. Before 6 months, 10 patients were advised for Hb electrophoresis. Overall, in study population, most common hemoglobinopathies were Beta thalassemia trait (118, 15.1%), followed by Hb E trait (45, 11.6%), Hb E Beta thalassemia (34, 4.43%), Beta thalassemia major (8, 0.9%). Same trend followed in pediatric age group, Beta thalassemia trait (53, 13.7%), Hb E tarit (84, 10.7%), Hb E Beta thalassemia (28,7.24%), Beta thalassemia major (8, 1.8 %). In adult age group, Beta thalassemia trait (65, 16.4%), Hb E tarit (39, 9.8%), Hb E Beta thalassemia (6, 1.5%%).

Conclusion: Hemoglobinopathies among the anaemic population of Sylhet is very common. Beta thalassaemia trait, Hb E tarit, Hb E Beta thalassemia, Beta thalassemia major are common variants. So, during anaemia evaluation, hemoglobinopathies should be kept in mind
Cameroon Pidgin English as a Language of the Media.
Authors: Atche Mba
Published: January 2024

The stigmatisation of Cameroon Pidgin English (CPE) has contributed immensely to its slow recognition and acceptance in the media. Contrary to the situation in the 50s and 60s which limited the use of CPE to occasional slots in local newspaper columns (Schneider 1966: 111), it has been gaining grounds in its function as the language of the media from the 80s till date. CPE is now confidently used in newspapers, television, and radio broadcasts, advertisements etc. As such, CPE has been given the name ‘a crowd pulling’ language especially when used in the media. This paper substantiates Kelly’s (1978: 293) statement that “popular language is used to popularise a supposedly popular medium.” It describes the extent to which CPE is used as a tool for spreading publicity information over the radio and Television in Cameroon. This paper shows that five media structures were used for the study, namely: CRTV Buea, FM Mount Cameroon, CBS Radio and Equinox TV in Douala. The results revealed that CPE is used in a wide range of media programmes: news broadcasts, advertisements, Public announcements and talk shows. So, Neba, Chibaka, and Atindogbe have a point when they say that “This language, then, may not be the curse that it has been made to appear in the past, but rather a blessing in disguise”, 2006: 58.
