Authors:   Teacher, Department Of Oriental Languages, University Of World Economy And Diplomacy, Uzbekistan, Niyozova Olmoskhon Erkaboevna
Published: May 2021

A large-scale study of linguistic problems from the point of view of comparative linguistics and linguistic translation poses new common challenges for the science of the 21st century. One such problem is the study of translated texts from an anthropocentric position. Anthropocentric study of translated texts means showing the uniqueness of a particular people. In this article, research work on phraseology, formed on the basis of a comparative model, and, therefore, "similarities" in a particular language and culture, reflect the way of thinking and imagination of this people in the texts of the Uzbek-Korean and Korean-Uzbek translation. Linguistic and cultural comparative study of "phraseology" - one of the most important aspects of the topic.

Indices, criteria and methods to evaluate institutional interests of enterprises and commercial banks at different levels of economic development
Authors: Shageev Denis , Kirillova Olga
Published: May 2021

Competition development in production and banking sector of the economy, financial markets, and public administration based on digital and other innovative technologies in XXI century is associated with a disbalance in institutional interests of various entities, including banks and enterprises. The article offers indicators, criteria and methods to assess this imbalance. Further, the authors intend to report the methods that will allow to harmonize the institutional interests of the latter two subjects to enhance their efficiency on the basis of these assessments. In-depth analysis of the studies in Russia and abroad allows us to identify seven new terms for the development of institutional economics: “institutional interest” (II); “imbalance and balance of institutional interests” (III and BII); “index of intuitional interests” (III); “criterion of institutional interests” (CII); ”balance and imbalance level of institutional interests“(BLII and ILII); “potential growth balance and imbalance level of institutional interests” (PGBLII and PGBILII)”. This provided a theoretical foundation to develop a new method and propose a new scientific category “supermarket of indices of institutional interests” (SIII). SIII is represented as a multi–level table including more than 425 indices on the basis of which CII is calculated. BLII (ILII) is offered to be measured through membership function according to Harrington scale using fuzzy III of different forms. Final assumptions of the method and its testing will be reported in further publications of the authors.

Authors: Graziano Valeria , Medak Tomislav , Mars Marcell
Published: May 2021

The aim of the Pirate Care project is to put the politics back into caring and to disrupt the global property regime that is colonising public welfare services and turning them into privately traded assets. Piracy refers to all the practices of survival and solidarity that disobey unjust
legal and social rules that support property at the expense of living beings. The idea of piracy enables the foregrounding of the need to expand the realm of conceivable political responses to the crisis.
The long revolution: why the left needs a strategic and long- term perspective
Authors: Rustin Michael
Published: May 2021

How should a political party that is primarily focused on winning elections respond when it suffers a catastrophic electoral defeat? Some tactical steps have been taken by Keir Starmer, but there has been little engagement in the task of seeking an understanding of the deeper context
of events and exploring new and memorable political ideas. One resource for a transformative perspective are the ideas of Raymond Williams: in particular the idea of the 'long revolution', and of the central role of culture and processes of learning. Labour needs to focus some energy on considering
such questions: among its other roles, a progressive party needs to have an educative purpose and a diagnostic capacity.

Published: May 2021

The laboratory rat continues to be the model of choice for many studies of physiology, behavior, and complex human diseases. Cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS; monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells) are abundant residents in every tissue in the body and regulate postnatal development, homeostasis, and innate and acquired immunity. Recruitment and proliferation of MPS cells is an essential component of both initiation and resolution of inflammation. The large majority of current knowledge of MPS biology is derived from studies of inbred mice, but advances in technology and resources have eliminated many of the advantages of the mouse as a model. In this article, we review the tools available and the current state of knowledge of development, homeostasis, regulation, and diversity within the MPS of the rat.
Human rights abuses in local government areas in Nigeria during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: Faith-based organisations as agents of transformation
Authors: Uroko Favour C. , Nwaoga Chinyere T.
Published: May 2021

Background: There were cases of human rights abuse during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the Warri, Uyo, Afikpo, Aba North, Kaduna South and Idemili North local government areas. Indigenes of these areas went through excruciating pain and suffering after the declaration of total lockdown by their state governments. The state governments declared lockdown, with no (or inefficient) distribution of palliatives to the indigenous population.Aim: This article examines human rights abuses perpetrated whilst the victims were in the same vicinity as their aggressors during the lockdown occasioned by the coronavirus.Setting: The data were collected from the Warri, Uyo, Afikpo, Aba North, Kaduna South and Idemili local government areas.Methods: The phenomenological method of qualitative research was used in the study. Data were collected from official government documents, gazettes, and faith-based organisation (FBOs). The data collected were analysed descriptively.Results: Corruption among security personnel, the lack of sensitisation and training of security personnel by the government on the rules of engagement and the Lack of punishment of security personnel after their abuse of power are the motivating factors to the human rights abuses during the coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria.Conclusion: Citizens were forced to go out to look for money and food to buy. These citizens were engaged by security agents (enforcing the lockdown) and were harassed and killed. The findings reveal that lack of special training for COVID-19 security personnel, corruption and lack of sensitisation are the reasons for these cases of human rights abuse. Faith-based organisations have roles to play towards achieving a reduction in the escalating cases of human rights abuse in these areas.

Authors: Munshi Anusheel , Sarkar Biplab , Paul Sayan , Chaudhari Bhavini B. , Chauhan Rohit Singh , Ganesh Tharmarnadar , Mohanti Bidhu Kalyan
Published: May 2021

Context:

This research describe the characteristic volume expansion of a moving target as a function of differential margins.

Aim:

We aimed to ascertain the volume change after giving margin for clinical and set up uncertainties including generating internal target volume (ITV) for moving target.

Materials and Methods:

Settings and Design – Spheres of diameter (0.5–10 cm) with differential expansion of 1–15 mm were generated using a mathematical formula. Moving targets of radius 1–5 cm were generated, and the resultant volume envelopes with incremental motion from 1 to 20 mm were obtained. All relative volume change results were fitted with mathematical functions to obtain a generalized mathematical formula.

Statistical Analysis Used:

None.

Results:

The percentage increase in volume (%ΔVp) was much more pronounced for smaller radius target. For moving target with relatively smaller radius, %ΔVp is predominant over the absolute volume change and vice versa in case of larger radius. Mathematical formulae were obtained for %ΔVp as a function of radius and expansion and for %ΔVp in ITV volume as a function of radius and tumor movement.

Conclusions:

This study provides an idea of volume change for various expansions for various size targets and/or moving target for different range of movements. It establishes a correlation of these volume changes with the changing target size and range of movements. Finally, a clinically useful mathematical formulation on volume expansion has been developed for rapid understanding of the consequence of volume expansion.

Authors: Sharma Mitakshara , Rath Ashutosh , Tomar Reena , Khurana Nita , Ghuliani Deepak
Published: May 2021

Gallbladder carcinomas are uncommon with female predominance in the sixth or seventh decades. Mucinous carcinomas of the gallbladder are rare with few cases documented in the literature. We present two cases of mucinous carcinoma of the gallbladder one of which was incidentally detected. The first case is a 65-year-old female who was diagnosed clinically with a suspected case of carcinoma of the gallbladder with the help of contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Microscopy showed extensive areas of mucin pools (>90% of the tumor), atypical cells in three-dimensional clusters, and scattered singly in the mucin pools. Immunohistochemistry revealed a strong expression of MUC2 by the tumor cells. The second case is a 60-year-old female who was diagnosed clinically with a case of chronic cholecystitis; however, the cholecystectomy specimen showed a mucinous growth in the fundus and body of the gallbladder, microscopy of which showed extensive mucin pools (>90% of the tumor) along with scattered signet-ring cells. Both the cases were reported as mucinous carcinoma of the gallbladder. Mucinous carcinoma of the gallbladder exhibit more aggressive behavior than conventional gallbladder carcinomas. Documentation of these rare cases will encourage further research to find out their true incidence and adequate management of the patient.

The sequelae of head-and-neck radiation may include hyposalivation, dysgeusia, trismus, mucositis, and osteoradionecrosis. A mouthguard used during radiation therapy can mitigate the effects of backscatter radiation from dental restorations. In addition, an intraoral positioning stent can assist in repositioning oral structures, such as the tongue, away from the field of radiation during treatment, thereby limiting dose delivery. The purpose of this article is to provide a technique to fabricate a combination prosthesis, which functions to reposition oral structures as well as mitigate the effects of backscatter from dental restorations during head-and-neck radiation therapy.
Uğursuz Şölen: Dede Korkut'tan J. R. R. Tolkien'e Ortak Bir Motif
Authors: ORUÇ Doğukan
Published: May 2021

Birçok destanda, söylencede, halk hikâyesinde ve dinî metinde şölenlerin felâketlerle sonuçlandığı görülmektedir. Çağlar boyunca düalist kozmoloji anlayışı, zühd merkezli yaklaşım ve mitsel dil, şölene dair motifi bu yönde şekillendirmiştir. Ayrıca bu metinlerin oluşturulduğu çağlardaki belirgin güvenlik eksikliği, şölen motifi ile uğursuzluğun bir arada ele alınmasını mümkün kılmış görünmektedir. Gerek anlatıcı olarak Dede Korkut figürüne atfedilen öyküler ve gerekse Tolkien tarafından yaratılan fantastik evren çok farklı zamanlarda ve coğrafyalarda vücuda gelmişlerdir. Her iki metindeki öykülerde de doğaüstü unsurlara yer verilmiş ve adı geçen anlatılar çeşitli yönleriyle pek çok araştırmaya konu olmuştur. Oğuzların epik anlatısı olan Kitâb-ı Dedem Korkud’un ve Tolkien’in yarattığı mitolojinin (legendarium) temel yapıtaşlarından olan Silmarillion’un içinde bulunan öyküler çeşitli paralellikler taşırlar. Bu yazının amacı ise bu iki anlatının şölenler ve şölenlerden sonra yaşanan uğursuz olaylar motifi etrafında karşılaştırmalı bir biçimde okunmasıdır. Bu karşılaştırma Assmann’ın hipoleps kuramı ve Tolkien’in “Öykü Kazanı” benzetmesinden yola çıkılarak yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. Şölenlerin mitik ve arketipik kökenlere sahip bir uğursuzlukla ilişkilendirildiği görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda şölen ve şölenin uğursuzluğuna dair motifin kökenleri araştırılmış, bunların her iki kitaptaki yansımaları örneklendirilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Vulnerable Learners’ Experiences on Drug Abuse in Zimbabwean Rural Schools: A Literature Review Perspective
Authors: Chidarikire Munyaradzi , Chikuvadze Pinias , Muza Cecilia
Published: May 2021

: In Zimbabwean rural schools, drug abuse is observed to be on the increase trend. It is in this context that this paper delved into experiences that are encountered by vulnerable learners abusing drug in rural schools. Accordingly, it targeted at how this social phobic has become entrenched in learners’ way of being and the plausible antidotes to this drawback. In this regard, a framework derived from social constructionist and symbolic interactionist standpoints provided the lens through which the researchers perceived the issue under investigation. The researchers used literature review in the generation and analysis of learners’ lived experiences with regards to the issue under study from different sources. The researchers used the narration of information from commissioned reports, newspaper articles and empirical findings. From consulted sources, the researchers noted that there is widespread drug abuse in most rural schools through the influence of the institution linked dynamics, age issues, life stress, peer group pressure, obtainability of ready money and ease of access to drugs. With respect to these findings, the researchers concluded that drug abuse by learners in rural schools in Zimbabwe was from literature perspective mostly due to multi-pronged influences. Hence the researchers recommended that key interested parties such as Government, Non- Governmental Organizations, parents, teachers and policymakers should consistently implement and monitor strategies such as peer counselling to mitigate the drug abuse among rural learners.

Published: May 2021

Graduate unemployment is one of the biggest challenges that many countries in the world are faced with, more so in Zimbabwe. Given the prevailing rate of unemployment, this study sought to investigate the extent to which the TVET curricula in Accounting has provided sufficient skills to the accounting graduates to meet the expectations for employment. The study sought to deal with the problems that accounting TVET graduates face when entering the job market and the reasons why they are not getting their desired job in their chosen field of study. The study employed a qualitative approach. Data was collected from a sample of five lecturers and 55 Accounting graduates from one Polytechnic college in Zimbabwe, using interviews and a questionnaire. The study found that the main factor contributing to graduate unemployment is the deteriorating economic conditions in the country. It was also found that most of the graduates lacked sufficient skills and work experience to compete in the labor market. The graduates showed general inability to apply knowledge learnt in college to practical work situations, resulting in most graduates struggling to find suitable job placements in the country. It was further established that the graduates were ill-prepared to start their own businesses and did not have access to capital. The study recommends that TVET colleges in Zimbabwe should produce graduates with relevant skills, entrepreneurial mind set and appropriate knowledge acquired through work-based learning and internships to increase chances for employability among the graduates. Financial institutions may also assist through funding the graduates to start entrepreneurial activates in response to limited employment chances.

The study collected data from 50 randomly selected students out of a total number of 300 from the final year classes of Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School and 25 out of 45 teachers of English from the languages department. The study found that a large number of the learners mispronounced selected vowels and consonants, thus confirming the reality that pronunciation problem persisting in Ghanaian secondary schools. The problem of poor pronunciation was found to be related to the teaching and learning strategies employed in teaching pronunciation, unskilled teachers and the influence of mother tongues. The study recommends that teacher trainees in English language from institutions of higher learning should be exposed to the appropriate strategies of teaching good pronunciation. Furthermore, regular in-service training should be organized for the teachers of English in senior high schools to equip them with the current approaches to teaching pronunciation. Lastly, stakeholders of education in the country should provide well-resourced language laboratories for senior high schools to enable students to practice phonetics effectively.

The partition of Indian sub-continent in 1947 was a historic event surrounded by many controversies and issues. Some of those ended up with the passage of time while others were kept alive and orchestrated. Besides numerous problems for the newly born state of Pakistan, one such controversy was about the Muhajirs (immigrants) who were settled in Karachi. The paper analyses the factors that brought the relation between the native Sindhis and Muhajirs to such an impasse which resulted in the growth of conspiracy theories, division among Sindhis; subsequently to the demand of Muhajir Suba (Province); target killings, extortion; and eventually to military clean-up operation in Karachi. The paper also throws light on the twin simmering problems of native Sindhis and Muhajirs. Besides, the paper attempts to answer the question as to why the immigrants could not merge in the native Sindhis despite living together for so long and why the native Sindhis remained backward and deprived. Finally, the paper aims at bringing to limelight the role of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM). The relation between Muhajirs and native Sindhis has not been smooth since the former’s settlement in Karachi. However, relations between the nationalists and Muhajirs aggravated more during undemocratic regimes.

Authors: Ahmad Sohail , Syed Areeja , Bhutta Muhammad
Published: May 2021

CPEC is a flagship project that can help India boost her economy to uplift the growing demands of infrastructural investment in the sector of energy, railroad connectivity and much more. As Pakistan and India get more economically integrated, the likelihood of any significant or minor war is going to be avoidable in the long run. India needs to understand that CPEC is not meant to destabilise any of the South Asian nations but to trigger the overall regional amalgamation. The addition of India to this global project is extremely industrious to take trilateral relations among China, Pakistan, and India towards new heights. With the backdrop of distrust, animosity, negative peace and zero political connectivity between India and Pakistan, CPEC is a feasible platform to eradicate these dilemmas if political connectivity is established. There is a need to have ideas and incentives which can convince India to be the part of CPEC. In addition, adverse reporting of media is also damaging this project by spreading false allegations. Therefore, the authors seek to explain how through CPEC, there can be less stress between India and Pakistan. What media can play its role to build the positive perception about this project. How media can make CPEC a vital source for reduction of hostility between the two states by applying the complex interdependence theory.

Published: May 2021

This paper investigates the impact of stress on the performance of students in the light of Krashen’s affective filter theory. Stress, according to Krashen, is responsible for high affective filter which in turn is responsible for low input and as a result, poor performance of the students in terms of language acquisition. Stress is, therefore, a key factor in affecting the academic performance of students at various levels. Students are often under pressure either on the part of their parents, colleagues or from their teachers to secure good grades. There are certain other variables too which contribute to the stress level of students and thereby affect their language acquisition. This quantitative study uses a questionnaire to collect data from 90 students of 1st semester in Women University Swabi. The background of the students was from social and applied sciences where the students study this as compulsory course. The results of the data show that stress has a definite negative impact on the performance of students. The study has important implications for educationists, academics, and policy makers.
