فاعلية التشبيه البليغ في تشكيل الصور الشعرية: أشعار شوقي الوطنية أنموذجا
Authors: Hafeez Mohammed
Published: December 2023

The poetic image is one of the most important critical issues in literary studies as the effectiveness of poetry depends on images that highlight feelings and emotions, while simile is one of the most prominent devices through which the imagination appears, which contributes to the formation of the literary image. Furthermore, the eloquent simile is represented in the highest level in terms of artistic value, since the deletion of the particle (أداة التشبيه) and the point of similarity (وجه الشبه) gives the illusion that the topic (المشبه) and the image (المشبه به) are similar, as there is no distinction between them. This study aims to introduce the poet Ahmed Shawky, whose national character has changed between the stages he went through in his life, to discuss the term poetic image and its patterns, and finally to illuminate the main objective, which is the study of the eloquent simile and its effectiveness in forming literary images in national poems in which the poet Shawqi addressed the issues, problems, and hopes of his homeland, by concentrating on the patterns and sources of eloquent simile, as well as the relationship between the two sides of the simile, by using the descriptive analytical approach to explain the poet's personality and analyze his nationalistic poems, and the artistic approach to extract the artistic values related to the eloquent simile. The study concluded several results, one of which is that the poet invested the most prominent forms of eloquent simile informing the images, even though the pattern in which the image is the predicate of the subject or prefixed to the topic appears more commonly in Shawqi's national poems, and the form in which the image is the circumstantial adverb seems less frequently, besides other forms recorded in the average. The poet derived most of the images from natural manifestations while he picked up some of them from human and his organs, the tools that he uses, and cultural sources and religious meanings. In terms of the relationship between topic and image, the poet preferred to link the sensible to the sensible rather than the nonsensible to the nonsensible. In addition, his creativity appeared in the transformation in which the sensible was likened to the nonsensible, where he used the TashkhÊs and ThajsÊm techniques in several models.

Published: December 2023

The study investigates the antimicrobial effects of the Hypericum crenulatum ethanolic (HCE) extract against 14 different food pathogens and their biofilm-forming abilities in response to HCE treatment. The phenolic acid composition of the HCE extract was also determined using an HPLC-DAD detector. The antimicrobial activity of HCE extract was assessed using the disc diffusion and microdilution methods. According to the findings, the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300, Listeria monocytogenes RSKK 472, and Listeria innocua ATCC 33090 strains exhibited the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values at a concentration of 2 μg mL−1. Based on the disc diffusion test results, the largest zone of inhibition of HCE extract against foodborne pathogens was seen against Bacillus cereus, and the diameter of the inhibition zone increased with the concentration of HCE extract (P < 0.05). In terms of phenolic acid composition of HCE extract, the phenolic acids with the highest and lowest amounts were caffeic acid (59.92 mg g−1) and p-coumaric acid (13.61 μg g−1), respectively. Our study determined that the HCE extract demonstrated antimicrobial, bactericidal, and antibiofilm activities against some foodborne pathogens. These effects reveal its potential for improving food safety by inhibiting the growth of these pathogens.

Tego typu narzędzia (ich subiektywny wybór został zaprezentowany w niniejszym artykule) mogą być także wykorzystywane w innych obszarach. Aby to udowodnić, szczegółowo opisano działanie aplikacji Brand24, która posłużyła do monitorowania wzmianek na temat Rosji i Ukrainy, ukazujących się w internecie od 17 stycznia 2022 r. do 17 stycznia 2023 r. w związku z wybuchem wojny. Głównym celem artykułu było ilościowe przebadanie wybranych zasobów internetu pod kątem wpisów dotyczących konfliktu. W badanym okresie zidentyfikowano blisko 14 mln komunikatów, których ręczna weryfikacja byłaby po prostu niemożliwa. Zastosowane w aplikacji rozwiązania okazały się szczególnie pomocne w procesie weryfikacji nieprawdziwych informacji dotyczących wojny Rosji z Ukrainą, przyczyniając się do wyeliminowania dużej części z nich z przestrzeni cyfrowej.
Activity of the Polish People’s Party in France – short monograph
Authors: Indraszczyk Arkadiusz
Published: December 2023

The article presents an outline of history of the Polish People’s Party in F rance, active in years 1947-1999, which was a part of the Polish People’s Party in Exile. The Party belonged to the so-called Polish independence emigration. The PSL in France developed dynamically from the late 1940s until the early 1960s. In the following years, its activity diminished gradually and a great number of local party clubs were liquidated. The main reasons behind such decrease in activity of the PSL included, first of all, ageing of its members, lack of inflow of young people into the party and lack of financial resources. Only the most persistent and idealistic activists remained until regaining of independence and overthrowing of communism in Poland. Upon rebirth of the independent PSL in Poland, these activists considered themselves to be the foreign part of the domestic PSL.

Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników badań dotyczących jakości życia studentów Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego za pomocą kwestionariusza WHOQOL-BREF, który zawiera 26 pytań i analizuje 4 podstawowe domeny jakości życia: fizyczną, psychiczną, relacji społecznych, środowiska funkcjonowania badanego oraz globalną jakość życia i samoocenę stanu zdrowia. Badanie zrealizowano w dwóch edycjach: w 2021 i 2022 r. na łącznej próbie ponad 1600 studentów pierwszych roczników studiów. Badanie w 2021 r. wykonano techniką CAWI, w 2022 r. techniką PAPI. Do analizy czynników różnicujących ocenę jakości życia mieszkańców zastosowano zmienne socjodemograficzne, w postaci płci, miejsca zamieszkania oraz zmiennej o charakterze czynnika społecznego – sytuacji materialnej. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że płeć nie różnicuje jakości życia studentów. Na jakość życia wpływają za to sytuacja materialna oraz miejsce zamieszkania. Stwierdzono ponadto, iż pandemia Covid-19 miała negatywny wpływ na dwie dziedziny jakości życia badanych – fizyczną oraz psychologiczną.
«How They Made Me Give Up God…»: a Case of the Soviet Believer in the 1960s.
Authors: Aleksey Glushaev
Published: December 2023

The article reconstructs the events of the late 1950s and early 1960s on the basis of archival materials and publications in the Soviet periodical press. They took place in the town of Ocher, Perm region. A small group of Evangelical Christian Baptists gathered in the town. At the end of 1959, a schism occurred within the community. Several women experienced a new religious conversion. They became followers of the Pentecostals. The schism proceeded against the backdrop of intense religious experiences. One of the believers described her experiences in letters and sent them to the Ocher District Committee, then to the Perm Regional Committee of the CPSU. As part of the anti-religious campaign, these letters were provided. Friendly courts were held. Feuilletons and accusations were published in the regional periodical press. The destinies of believers were to be decided by the local atheistic community. The purpose of the study is to identify the socio-cultural circumstances of the life of believers in the local community of the town of Ocher, and to see it through the prism of the small social and cultural technologies of Soviet life. The methodological basis of the study is a microhistorical approach focusing on the context and details of everyday life. The author shows the believer's ability to intertwine in his or her own mind and emotional experiences his or her religious experience and the figurative world of the Soviet everyday life. This ability is considered as an essential characteristic of Soviet religiosity, which had been formed by the middle of the 20th century. The biographical incident of Natalya Ershova, the vicissitudes of her fate allow us to notice the breaks in the social reality in which the 'ordinary' Soviet person lived. Due to this, one can identify and describe the character and specific subjectivity of the Soviet believer.
Sztuka sakralna wykładnią doktryny wiary. Program ikonograficzny bazyliki Narodzenia Pańskiego w Betlejem
Authors: Bartkowiak Lucjan
Published: December 2023

The place and role of art, especially sacred art, in the history of Christian preaching is evident. Sacred art was born with the first Christian communities, and long before the role of faith interpretation was taken over by theological texts – it was the first to conceal and reveal, explain and accompany Christian liturgical gatherings, thus earning the name of the „first great love” of Christian theology. One of the most beautiful and unique examples, in which word and image are intertwined, are the rediscovered and deeply researched mosaic cycles from the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Their creation overcame many differences of a doctrinal nature, uniting Christians of East and West. The result achieved, today only partially preserved, went down in history as an exceptional example, in which thirteen expressive doctrinal rulings, supported by magnificent iconography and ornamentation, became a coherent and, above all, complete interpretation of one of the basic dogmas – the Incarnation of the Word of God. This article describes all the elements that formed this monumental, for the Middle East, complex of Crusader-era medieval mosaics, executed by Byzantine, Greek and Syrian masters, with a huge contribution of imperial funds from Constantinople. The very summary of the Basilica’s iconographic program is evidence of its remarkable complementarity.
Żydowska i grecka kultura św. Pawła jako instrumentarium w przekazie Ewangelii
Authors: Gieniusz Andrzej
Published: December 2023

The Apostle of Nations undoubtedly represents a special case of interculturalism or multiculturalism (interculturality) in the dawn of Christianity. His equally deep rootedness in both Jewish and Hellenistic cultures provided him with especially many opportunities in understanding and conveying the Christian message. Nevertheless, his dual culture is not the first or most important fact of his Christian being and acting. Instead, it is his personal experience of Christ, which is the most important source of Paul’s theology and Paul’s apostolate. Jewish and Greek cultural baggage is only and as far as the instrumentarium of Paul’s experience and preaching.

Authors: Lončarić Kelečić Iva , Schuster Snježana , Uršej Eva
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) in female athletes (FA) is a globally concerning but neglected topic in Croatia. The purpose was to examine the occurrence and severity of UI in Croatian FA and occurrence-associated factors. Methods: In May 2022, an anonymous online survey collecting general sports characteristics and the Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) were sent to individual FA. Obtained data were analysed with the PSPP program: chi-square test, t-test and analysis of variance with a defined significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The presence of UI in the total sample of 70 FA competing in 12 different sports is 24.3 %: 8 (29.6 %) handball players, 3 (42.9 %) tennis players, 2 (40 %) water polo players, one (14.3 %) synchronised swimmer, seven soccer players (14.3 %), one weightlifter (50 %) and the only swimmer (100 %). According to ICIQ-UI SF, in 70.59 % of FA with UI, a small amount of urine leaks approximately once a week or less often, mainly after urination and dressing up (35.29 %). The UI interference with quality of life is mild (70.59 %) and moderately severe (29.41 %), and the UI severity is slight (47 %) to moderate (53 %). Smokers report UI to a greater extent (χ2(1, n = 70) = 4.666, p < 0.05), while other sports and FA characteristics did not yield significant findings. Conclusions: UI is present in a quarter of examined Croatian FA, with mild to moderate severity. It mildly interferes with the quality of life and seems to be associated with smoking. Our findings contribute to preserving women's health in sports and apply to UI assessment in FA and counselling on smoking cessation as a proven UI risk.

Published: December 2023

The student’s critical thinking skills in social studies education in Public Junior High School 14 Bandung is still low. This can be seen from the observation of the researchers, which shows that the students’ critical thinking skills in the superior classes are far more prominent compared to the regular classes. The students'critical thinking skills in the superior classes are not only fixated on the problems in their handbooks, but it also has started to recognize about contextual, and even contemporary issues. Furthermore, the learning method used in the superior classes are actually the same as in the regular classes; the only difference is that students in the regular classes are less able to explore broader information/phenomena. They only absorb information obtained from their handbook. This research tries to analyze the controversial issues model, and this research used problems from the controversial and critical issues. The research method is processed with a quasi-experimental research, with non-probality sampling technique. The controversial issues model is compared to the think pair and shared model. The analysis results from the measurements in the experimental and control class before the treatment, showed that there is no difference between the two. However, there is a difference in the students’ critical thinking skills between before and after the treatment. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an effectiveness from the controversial issues learning model, which affects students' critical thinking skills in social studies education.

The Awkward Moment When You Agree With News Outlets That You Normally Distrust
Authors: Blom Robin
Published: December 2023

News source attribution in selective exposure has been examined in many contexts, but rarely in the context of selecting news from distrusted sources. As such, 800 US adults were asked to select one of two headlines attributed to CNN and/or Fox News. Results showed some people selected news from a distrusted source, but only under very specific circumstances. Others avoided the awkward moment of siding with a distrusted source, even when that meant selecting news from a trusted source that was counter-attitudinal to the source’s typical slant on global warming.

Authors: Sajal Halder  , Sushma Ghildyal
Published: December 2023

Background: Practices involving resistive breathing have been shown to enhance endurance and performance in competitive athletes. However, there is still little research on how pranayama or yogic breathing techniques (YBP) might help professional athletes improve their respiratory endurance and performance. Aim: The objective of the current research was to assess how yoga breathing practices affected competitive athletes’ respiratory function. Methodology: A total of 60 (30 male and 30 female) athletes were included and were divided into two groups; control and experimental. 30 individuals were randomly assigned in both the groups. The experimental group received daily instruction in yogic breathing techniques for one hour for six months. The control group received the same daily schedule (normal exercise). Various anthropometric measurements and spirometry measurements such as FVC, FEV1, PEFR, and the FEV1/FVC ratio both before and after yoga intervention in both the groups were measured. Result: The result showed significant increase in FVC level in control (3.51L) and experimental group (3.64L) P<0.05). A significant increase in FEV1 (3.43L) and PEF (534.18L/s) levels were also observed post-test of experimental groups (P<0.05), whereas the increase was non-significant in control group (P>0.05). Non-significant results were also observed in FEV1/FVC ratio in both control and experimental group (P<0.05). Conclusions: At high altitudes, yoga practices may beneficial for athletes in bringing about favorable psychological changes among low landers athletes.

Total knee arthroplasty, different alignment and balance methods- A review
Authors: Chakravarthy H Y Rakshith , Sherikar Nagesh , Rawal Nitin , Gowda Mahesh
Published: December 2023

The two most frequent techniques used to implant a total knee replacement (TKR) are measured resection and gap balancing. Both methods have been around for a while and are currently in widespread usage, and both have shown to be effective in the real world. Plus, new technologies have evolved in the recent past to help surgeons achieve soft tissue balance and limb alignment.

Proper alignment of a knee replacement is crucial to its effective functioning. It has to be in the right axial and rotational planes for this to work. Patellofemoral instability and early wear can be caused by improper alignment, as can loosening of the prosthesis. Altering the prosthesis's orientation might potentially affect the tension of the surrounding soft tissues.

We have extensively reviewed 50 studies (Level 1- Level 4) published in many prestigious journals by searching through platforms like PUBMED, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. In this research, we have attempted to document the relationship between alignment and the equilibrium of soft tissues and to summarize the present state of our understanding of this connection.

Published: December 2023

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most commonly occurring ligament injuries in and around the knee joint. ACL gets torn easily and has a poor capacity for intrinsic repair. Anterior knee instability associated with ACL rupture is a disabling clinical entity. The current study has been designed to analyze the post-operative outcome of arthroscopically reconstructed ACL using a quadrupled autograft of semitendinosus and gracilis tendon which is fixed with an endo button on the femoral side and an interference screw on the tibial side. This was a prospective open label non-randomized interventional study. Subjects of both genders between 15 to 45 years presenting with an isolated ACL tear at M.N.R. Medical College & Hospital, Sangareddy, Telangana between June 2018 to May 2020 were included. Subjects were assessed for functional outcome and complications of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. All the subjects were evaluated pre and post–operatively using clinical tests, the International knee documentation committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm Gilquist Score (LGS), and single leg hop test. A comparison between IKDC and LGS scoring was done to assess the functional outcome. An excellent outcome has been seen in 56.6%, a good outcome in 36.67% and 6.67% had a fair outcome using the LGS system. All three scoring systems showed a very high correlation as displayed by the Kendal-tau values ranging from 0.647 to 0.923. The pre-injury activity level was achieved in 97% of patients in a period of four to six months following strict rehabilitation protocol. The functional outcome of ACL reconstruction with quadrupled semitendinosus plus gracilis tendon autograft using a tightrope with endo-button and interference screw on femoral and tibial sides respectively is excellent to good (90%) with mild laxity noted objectively at the end of 6 months.

Investigating the function of serum B-HCG levels in the prognosis of hypertensive pregnancy disorders: A prospective observational study
Authors: Rathor Priyanka , Inani Anita , Vashisth Pratibha
Published: December 2023

Pregnancy-related hypertensive diseases are a serious hazard to world health. Identifying predictive markers is crucial for timely intervention. Serum β-HCG, known for its diverse role in pregnancy, is explored due to its potential involvement in vascular remodeling and angiogenesis.

The prospective observational study involves 200 pregnant women, monitored from early gestation to delivery. Serum β-HCG levels are evaluated at different time points. Data collection includes clinical assessments, obstetric evaluations, and blood sample analysis. Statistical analysis is conducted using MedCalc software.

Among 200 cases, elevated serum β-HCG levels (≥2 MoM) show a higher prevalence of hypertensive disorders (HDOP) compared to lower levels (<2 MoM). Maternal and fetal outcomes are explored, revealing adverse outcomes associated with elevated β-HCG levels. Age, religion, and parity distributions are analyzed for their correlation with HDOP.

The study establishes a strong correlation between the onset of HDOP and increased β-HCG levels. There is no discernible relationship between age and HDOP, while religious variations and parity suggest potential relationships. The study also highlights a significant link between proteinuria and HDOP. For a thorough understanding, more studies with bigger sample numbers and controlled designs are advised.

Authors: Nguyen Trong Luan
Published: December 2023

This study aims to analyze and evaluate students’ perceptions of climate change in Vietnam today, through various communication methods such as social networks, newspapers, educational programs. This study is based on a survey taken by 460 university students. Quantitative analysis was conducted using frequency statistics, Cronbach’s Alpha and EFA. The results show that there are significant differences between students when there are two opposing opinions: climate change can be overcome in the future and climate change is unlikely to be overcome in the future. Students draw conclusions through their own understanding of climate change. After conducting the research as well as after consulting and analyzing quantitative data, along with collecting and surveying students’ opinions, we were able to come up with methods to improve our actions. Students in particular, and people in general, lack awareness on environmental protection, especially in terms of the improvement of educational programs and promotion of propaganda about environmental protection consciousness. Youngpeople represent the future generation of knowledge that influences the development of the national environment.

Authors: Mikail Usman Bashir , Kaur Johl Satirenjit , Alam Khan Parvez
Published: December 2023

Circular economy and green governance are gaining momentum and traction with industry and policymakers. The circular economy is viewed as a restoration and regeneration system in which resources, energy usage, and greenhouse gases are minimized. At the same time, the Green Governance structure is a good transition to a circular economy and helps enterprises to move toward sustainable development. This study’s objective is to explore the hidden possible relationship that exists between the Green Governance of companies and the much-anticipated Circular Economy for low waste and carbon society. Furthermore, an extensive literature review was undertaken to create the first green governance circular economy framework (GGCE) for businesses to integrate the proposed model into their operational activities. This GGCE framework will be developed by exploring the similarities between green governance and circular economy. This study has three expected findings; firstly, the proposed framework will help firms to change their business approach to addressing climate change. Secondly, the GGCE framework will help policymakers to develop policies for circular economy governance. Lastly, it will be the point of reference to the academician for further extension of the GGCE framework.

Published: December 2023

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has had a severe impact on the education system, involving nearly 1.6 billion students in more than 190 countries and on all continents. The closure of schools, higher education institutions and other learning spaces affected more than 94% of the global student population. In response, online teaching and learning has been used by teachers and students on an unprecedented scale since the government announced the lockdown. As a result, teachers have encountered various difficulties in adapting to these changes and challenges. Following which, Teachers who are highly committed will have an awareness and willingness to improve the teaching profession and establish an effective learning environment to enable students to reach their goals. Previous studies have identified that religiosity and motivation significantly impact teachers’ level of commitment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of religiosity and motivation on teachers’ commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted on 66 teachers currently working in various Islamic religious schools in Perak, Malaysia using a purposive sampling technique. A quantitative method was used and data was collected through a survey questionnaire with appended consent. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Google form was utilised as a data collection platform from respondents. The findings of the study revealed that religiosity (β = 0.310, p = 0,004 < 0.05) and motivation (β = 0.435, p = 0.000 < 0.05) significantly influenced the work commitment of teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the school management should highly emphasise the role of these two factors among teachers, as they could enhance the commitment of teachers, such as preparing the syllabus and educating students.

La responsabilidad del administrador en hipótesis de inexactitud tributaria
Authors: Ochoa Giraldo Daniel , Villegas Palacio Esteban
Published: December 2023

La normativa societaria colombiana establece deberes de conducta para los administradores de las sociedades comerciales, quienes, en caso de incumplirlos, podrán ver comprometida su responsabilidad. No obstante, se puede afirmar que jurisprudencialmente se ha establecido, especialmente por la Delegatura para Procedimientos Mercantiles de la Superintendencia de Sociedades y recientemente por la Corte Suprema de Justicia, la Business Judgment Rule como estándar de revisión judicial de las actuaciones de los administradores.

Por su parte, la normativa tributaria colombiana dispone múltiples obligaciones para las sociedades en su rol de obligados tributarios, a las cuales el administrador debe dar cumplimiento. Esto, a pesar de la complejidad, vastedad, modificación constante y especialidad de las normas tributarias, lo cual, no en pocas ocasiones, entra a ser revisado por la administración de impuestos, resultando en procesos de determinación oficial por inexactitud o por corrección. Lo anterior conlleva mayores saldos a pagar o menores saldos a favor, sanciones por inexactitud o por corrección, intereses moratorios y hasta procesos de carácter penal.

El presente artículo propone abordar la responsabilidad de los administradores en hipótesis en las cuales la sociedad por aquellos administrada se vea abocada a dichos procedimientos de determinación iniciados por la administración de impuestos.
Świadomość logopedów w zakresie glottodydaktycznej perspektywy kształcenia językowego dzieci z doświadczeniem migracji
Authors: Młyński Rafał
Published: December 2023

W polskich szkołach uczy się coraz więcej dzieci, które staną się lub są dwujęzyczne. Są to uczniowie cudzoziemscy oraz polonijni. Mają oni specyficzne potrzeby edukacyjne, tzn. wymagają nauki języka polskiego jako drugiego. Osobami wspierającymi je są często glottodydaktycy polonistyczni, jednak zdarza się, iż tego typu zajęcia prowadzą też logopedzi. Tematem niniejszej pracy jest ocena świadomości logopedów w zakresie glottodydaktycznego kształcenia dzieci z doświadczeniem migracji. Badaniem zostali objęci terapeuci, którzy pracują z takimi dziećmi. Przeprowadzono z nimi pogłębione wywiady ustrukturyzowane, a zebrane dane zostały poddane analizie tematycznej. Badanie wykazało, iż logopedzi potrzebują usystematyzowania i pogłębienia wiedzy glottodydaktyczej przydatnej w ich pracy. W końcowej części pracy przedstawiono więc te zagadnienia glottodydaktyczne, o które, zdaniem autora, należałoby poszerzyć kształcenie logopedów.
Co było pierwsze – jajko czy kura, czyli rozważania chronologiczne nad początkami nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego w Łodzi i Warszawie
Authors: Kajak Piotr
Published: December 2023

Niniejszy tekst to przyczynek do historii warszawskiej i łódzkiej glottodydaktyki polonistycznej, a także kontynuacja badań historycznych nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego, zwłaszcza związanych z wczesnym okresem powojennym, z odniesieniami do sytuacji w międzywojniu. Okazją jest nie tylko siedemdziesięciolecie ośrodka łódzkiego, ale także blisko sto lat, które upłynęły od otwarcia pierwszego na odrodzonym Uniwersytecie Warszawskim lektoratu języka polskiego dla cudzoziemców. Autor rewiduje dotychczasowe ustalenia, przedstawiane we wcześniejszych publikacjach, a także odkrywa nowe fakty dotyczące obu ośrodków.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the study to isolate and identify new laccase sources from an endophytic fungal source that could be used as a weapon foreliminating and detoxifying contaminants found in wastewater and aquatic habitats. Isolation was done from Calotropis gigantean plantleaves from different locations of paper mill effluents from the “Raipur” region of Chhattisgarh, India. Positive isolates were obtainedwith a dark brown color below and surrounding the fungal colony due to guaiacol oxidation on potato dextrose agar. One potentendophytic fungal isolate that produces laccase is identified as Aspergillus turcosus by using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) andBLAST analysis. After optimization, maximum laccase production was obtained at the following conditions: medium (Czapeck Dox Broth),carbon source (sucrose), nitrogen source (sodium nitrate), pH (6), activator tannic acid (20 mM), incubation period (35°C) and duration(8 days) with 3 (8 mM fermentation) disc inoculums. The maximum laccase activity was obtained at 65 U mL-1 in submerged optimizedconditions, which was more than two fold compared to the unoptimized conditions. As estimated by SDS-PAGE, The molecular massof the monomer of pure laccase was determined to be 66 kDa. After five days of treatment with the laccase of A. turcosus, the syntheticdyes phenol red, bromophenol blue, methyl orange, and Congo red lose their colour. Clearance rates for chemical oxygen demand were59.46 and 48.57%, and phenolic contaminants were 80 and 22.3% in coal and textile effluents during the required treatment periods,respectively. One novel and potent laccase-producing endophytic fungus was successfully isolated, which can be utilized as a laccaseproducingsource for various industrial applications.
