Tuberculosis is a public health issue. Pulmonary form is the most common, and isolated ano-perineal involvement is very rare. We describe in this paper a case of an ano-perineal tuberculosis in a 26-year-old, who was admitted for a recurrent fistula and chronic perianal ulcerations. Many investigations were made, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and syphilis serologies, ileocolonoscopy, chest X-ray, and they all revealed no abnormalities. The Tuberculin intradermal reaction was positive with a 15 mm induration. Histopathological examination of perianal ulceration’s biopsies revealed epithelioid cell granuloma accompanied by Langhans multinucleated giant cells and enclosing caseating necrosis, which allowed us to diagnose an anoperineal tuberculosis. The patient was successfully treated by a 6-month regimen.

Kajian Koefisien Regime Aliran Sungai dan Indek Baseflow sebagai Indikator Kinerja Daerah Aliran Sungai
Authors: Hidayat Yayat
Published: February 2024

Fluktuasi debit aliran sungai merupakan salah satu indikator fungsi pengaturan Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) dalam penyimpanan dan pelelapasn air hujan yang jatuh pada suatu wilayah DAS.  Salah satu indikator yang biasa digunakan adalah Koefisien Regim Aliran Sungai (KRA). Nilai KRA yang dihitung dalam jangka waktu yang pendek (pertahun) sangat bervariasi sehingga terjadi perubahan status DAS tahun satu ke tahun berikutnya padahal kondisi biofisik DAS di lapang tidak banyak mengalami perubahan. Selain itu nilai KRA juga sangat dipengaruhi jumlah curah hujan yang jatuh pada DAS tersebut dari waktu ke waktu.  Indek baseflow merupakan cerminan kestabilan kontribusi baseflow terhadap total aliran sungai yang juga dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu indikator kinerja DAS. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengkaji koefisien regim aliran sungai dan indek baseflow sebagai indikator kinerja DAS pada beberapa DAS prioritas di Jawa Barat.  Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) nilai koefisien regim aliran sungai (KRA) sangat fluktuatif jika dihitung dalam jangka waktu yang pendek (pertahun) dan cukup stabil jika dihitung dalam selang waktu cukup panjang disesuaikan dengan perubahan kondisi biofisik DAS di lapang; 2) Rataan nilai KRA DAS Citarum Hulu adalah 57.9 yang tergolong kedalam katagori sedang, Ciliwung Hulu 34.1 (rendah), Cisadane Hulu 17.5 (sangat rendah), dan Cipunagara Hulu 52.1 (sedang); 3) rataan indek baseflow DAS Citarum Hulu, Ciliwung Hulu, Cisadane Hulu dan Cipunagara Hulu masing-masing sebesar 0.69, 0.77, 0.72, dan 0.75, dengan koefisien keragaman 5.43%-18.2%; 4) semakin tinggi nilai IBF semakin rendah nilai KRA; dan 5) indek baseflow dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu indikator kinerja DAS yang relatif lebih baik dibandingkan dengan koefisien regim aliran sungai (KRA).

Authors: Журавель О.Д. , Шишкина Н.Е.
Published: February 2024

В статье представлены результаты исследования границ одного из видов современного журналистского контента в интернет-пространстве. Актуальность исследования обусловлена быстрым развитием жанров и форматов журналистики, многие из которых еще не были осмыслены в научном дискурсе. В связи с популярностью развлекательного и комического в медиа, в качестве материала исследования была выбрана программа «Редакция. News», которая построена на фактах, в том числе, осмысленных в юмористическом и сатирическом ключе. В статье представлен анализ научных изысканий применительно к рассматриваемой передаче. На основе изученных отечественных трудов, посвященных классификациям форматов и жанров информационно-аналитических, развлекательных передач, была выявлена недостаточность теоретических сведений о современном положении типологического и терминологического аппарата в изучаемой области. Исследование показало, что «Редакция. News» и аналогичные программы в российском сегменте YouTube представляют собой новый вид контента, в дискурсе которых можно наблюдать смешение документальных и художественных черт, а также использование средств изобразительности, характерных для традиционной журналистики и блогосферы. Проанализировав специфику материала исследования в соответствии с научными трудами отечественных теоретиков медиакоммуникации, авторы предложили собственное определение для описания подобных передач. Представленные в настоящей статье обобщения и выводы могут способствовать формированию теоретической базы для дальнейшего изучения видов медиаконтента, а также для исследования аудиовизуального контента традиционной журналистики и блогосферы. В заключение статьи указывается, что своеобразие жанров и форматов новых медиа мало изучено и требует дальнейших исследований.
INVECTIVE VOCABULARY IN READERS’ COMMENTS
Authors: Самкова М.А.
Published: February 2024

Читательский комментарий как жанр интернет-дискурса отражает мнение общественности. В ходе исследования мы выяснили, что комментаторы чаще акцентируют внимание на негативных аспектах освещаемых СМИ вопросов. В связи с чем возникает потребность анализировать средства негативации в комментариях. Цель исследования – выявить инвективные единицы, выражающих вербальную агрессию, и инвектогенные средства в вызвавших реакцию читательских комментариях, размещенных на сайте влиятельной газеты «Комсомольская Правда – Челябинск» и в ее официальной группе в социальной сети ВКонтакте. Исследование инвективных единиц проводилось с использованием семантического, лингвопрагматического, контекстуального и функционального типов анализа. В результате выявлены лексические и фразеологические единицы, выражающие негативную оценку, эмоциональность и экспрессию. Вербализация инвективы осуществляется посредством таких лексических единиц как сленгизм и жаргонизм, а также с помощью сниженной, просторечной и экспрессивной лексики. Наличие инвективы обусловлено полемичным характером жанра «читательский комментарий», в текстах которого зафиксирована речевая агрессия. Агрессивное речевое поведение выражено использованием инвективы для снятия эмоционального напряжения (катарктическая функция) или с целью маркирования «своих» и «чужих», понижения социального статуса органов власти и представителей населения как акторов, ответственных за возникновение или решение проблемы (функция профанизации речи). Для характеристики, номинации объектов и обозначения отношения комментаторы прибегают к использованию имен существительных и прилагательных, выступающих в роли эпитетов-негативаторов, и глаголов, в которых произошла негативации значения в результате семантического преобразования предикатов действия в предикаты состояния. В читательских комментариях инвектива, относящаяся к группе пейоративных средств или негативаторов, выступает эффективной стратегией активизации внимания и провоцирование дискуссии.
EXOTIC VOCABULARY OF THE SAKHA LANGUAGE IN THE MEDIA TEXT
Authors: Борисова Н.М.
Published: February 2024

В статье предпринята попытка описать функционирование экзотической лексики языка саха в медиатексте. Материалом исследования послужил русскоязычный сайт «Якутия daily». Мы выделили лексико-семантические группы, в которых экзотическая лексика в основном употребляется относительно мифологии и фольклорау, утвари и блюд якутской кухни, якутских построек и жилищ, военного дела, национальных видов спорта, а также общественно-политической жизни. Целью данного исследования является выявление национальной специфики экзотизмов языка народа саха. Следует отметить, что экзотическая лексика языка саха не является экзотикой для сахаязычных массмедиа и, наоборот, для русскоязычных массмедиа эти лексемы будут экзотичными. В исследовании отмечается, что экзотическая лексика языка саха в массмедиа как особый тип лексем характеризуется номинативным характером, т.е. данные экзотизмы представляют с собой конкретные существительные. Кроме того, при переводе экзотизмов языка саха, как правило, сохраняется его внутреннее содержание. А внешняя форма лексики иногда подвержена изменениям, поскольку язык саха (тюркская группа) отличается по своей фонетике от русского языка (славянская группа). Это связано с тем, что в одном языке не может быть двух фонематических систем и других разных правил акцентологии. В целом, истинная сила народа заключается не столько в экономическом благополучии, сколько в сохранении национальных традиций, которые не повторятся не в одной другой стране мира, и использование журналистами экзотической лексики, естественно, было продиктовано практическими и повседневными потребностями. Нам кажется, что восприятие культуры и языка региона помогает разным народам жить в мире и согласии.
SYNONYMIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE CONCEPT EEYORISHNESS IN THE ENGLISH LEXICOGRAPHY
Authors: Бутенко Е.Ю.
Published: February 2024

В статье предлагается анализ синонимических рядов лексем, номинирующих концепт EEYORISHNESS (Пессимизм), который является одной из основополагающих характеристик, определяющих мировоззрение англичан. Как важный элемент этнического самосознания, он вызывает особую заинтересованность, но системного анализа данного концепта не проводилось. Проблемы постижения особенностей менталитета, культурного своеобразия определенного народа, выраженного в языковых единицах, остаются неизменно актуальными. Эмпирической базой исследования послужили данные англоязычных электронных лексикографических ресурсов, словарей синонимов, словарей-тезаурусов. Исследование позволяет рассмотреть лексико-семантическую представленность концепта в языке, выявить общие семантические признаки для синонимических единиц, входящих в состав концепта Eeyorishness, означить их стилистическую характеристику. Значимость работы состоит в возможности продемонстрировать в какой-то мере содержание и структуру концепта, высокую степень его коммуникативной релевантности, лингвокультурную специфичность. Состав вербальных манифестаторов концепта Eeyorishness, среди которых глагольные номинации, существительные, прилагательные, представлен в виде таблицы с выделением 28 интегральных сем, признаков, которые англичане сочли существенными для фиксации в дифференцированных номинациях. О важности осмысления данного феномена для британского сообщества свидетельствует непрестанный поиск новых языковых средств для выражения своеобразного мироощущения, его детальная вербализация в языке, а также возникновение оригинальной номинации – Eeyorishness, десигнирующей концепт, с отчетливо эксплицированной спецификой, новыми эмоционально-оценочными коннотациями, которая функционально отличается от предыдущих, но состоит с ними в синонимических отношениях.

Authors: Eko Wahjono Tri , Yuliani Yeni , Hadiyanto
Published: February 2024

Beauveria bassiana is one of the insect pathogens that can be used as a biological control agent. The interaction between Beauveria bassiana and other natural enemies in biological control can affect the effectiveness of pest control as a biopesticide. The efficacy of these fungi was also influenced by the toxin produced (beauvericin, bassianin, bassiacridin, beauvericin, bassianolide, cyclosporine, oosporein, and tenellin) which may interfere the nervous system and kill the target insects. The use of chemical pesticides, which has been one of the farmers’ choices in pest control, has negative impacts on the environment, human health, and pest resistance therefore, B. bassiana as an alternative, biological pest control and biological control are increasingly considered as environmentally friendly and sustainable control methods, so that biological control can become an important alternative to reduce the use of chemical pesticides. Facing this problem, alternative methods including the use of entomopathogenic fungi as biopesticide could be a sound measure to preserve the environment, biodiversity and ensure good quality of crops.

Kameralna wystawa Qfwfq. Opowieści artystów w ruchu we Włoskim Instytucie Kultury, zorganizowana na stulecie urodzin Itala Calvina, przypomina, że dawne obrazy Włoch nabierają nowych znaczeń, pewne figury myślenia o Italii ulegają erozji, kruszą się i osypują, inne trzeba odczytać na nowo. Autor artykułu przygląda kilku wybranym, współtworzącym materię wystawy wątkom, w których redefinicji podlega italski pejzaż – w jego „żywiołowych”, „kosmikomicznych” odsłonach, wpisujących się w imaginarium wzniosłości: obrazach gór, wulkanów i mórz. Ujawnia się w nich bowiem współczesne doświadczenie podróży, napotykamy w nich przy tym szczególny ruch – wędrówkę sensów. Na wędrówkę tę autor patrzy, wczytując się w myśli zaczerpnięte z książek Itala Calvina.

ANALYSIS ON CREATING MINIMUM CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES FOR BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE ALGORITHMS
Authors: Prakash Musa Om , Allan Kalpana , Sakilam Ramya
Published: February 2024

The Support Vector Machine, or SVM, is a linear model that can be used to solve classification and regression issues. It can solve both linear and nonlinear problems and is useful for a wide range of applications. SVM is a basic concept: The method divides the data into classes by drawing a line or hyperplane. The goal of this study is to see if putting past knowledge into an SVM classifier for Breast Cancer Diagnosis can increase its accuracy. In the diagnosis of breast cancer, a rule-based classifier is extensively utilized. In recent decades, a classifier with good illness classification performance has been developed, and it is in high demand. Because classification rules are derived from previous diagnostics with a large number of features, it is difficult to create a minimum number of high performance rules while retaining all diagnostic information. In this paper, we proposed a SVM model in order to provide the best performance classifier. Based on the experimental results of the SVM model, we can achieve an accuracy of 1.0.

Published: February 2024

One of the difficulties faced by English teachers is how to make English acceptable, understood, and well-controlled by their students. One of the strategies to use is bilingualism or using both students’ first and target languages in the classroom. This research aims to investigate the types of bilingualism in the vocabulary mix used in Indonesian English classes and explore the functions of bilingualism in the English learning process. This research was conducted by a descriptive qualitative. To collect the data, this research employed content analysis. Meanwhile, to analyze the data this study employed the theory of Lasswell’s idea: quantification of the word domain (types of bilingualism in vocabulary mix). Based on this research, it has been found that there are three types of bilingualism in the English learning process in Indonesia with a vocabulary mix of Indonesian vocabulary and English vocabulary, they are compound bilingualism, coordinate bilingualism and subordinate bilingualism. Its functions in the English learning process are to provide opportunities for students to speak English with each other, the learning process feels fun, and students are easier to understand the material. In addition, another phenomenon was found, namely the most used type of bilingualism is coordinate bilingualism. The benefits of the result are information as well as references to support teaching and learning activities using bilingualism in English class learning.

Published: February 2024

This case study explores strategies for fostering translation skills in young learners at MI Miftahul Huda Ngadireso, Malang, Indonesia. It delves into the importance of language acquisition during the early stages of education and examines specific methodologies used to enhance translation abilities. The study assesses the impact of interactive and immersive approaches on linguistic development, providing insights into effective pedagogical practices for nurturing basic translational proficiency in young language learners. This study indicates that Shobahul Lughah (morning language learning) effectively improves students’ translating skills. Furthermore, the study emphasises the value of constant practice and exposure to varied language inputs in developing fluency and accuracy in translation tasks. Moreover, the study emphasises the importance of taking a balanced approach to language training that includes both explicit and implicit learning possibilities. While explicit education offers learners systematic guidance and unambiguous explanations of linguistic topics, implicit learning experiences promote inquiry, discovery, and subconscious internalisation of language patterns and conventions. Finally, by embracing novel pedagogical approaches and establishing a supportive learning community, educators may help young students become efficient interpreters and communicators in an increasingly interconnected global world.

Authors: Kipchirchir Cornelius , Misiko Asborn Juma , Kiplangat Dennis Cheruiyot
Published: February 2024

The study sought to investigate the socio-economic gender issues affecting women's participation in alpine tourism in Mt. Kenya National Park. The study was guided by the following objectives: to assess the social gender issues affecting women's participation in alpine tourism and to analyse the economic gender issues affecting women's participation in alpine tourism. The study used a descriptive research design, and data was collected through structured closed-ended questionnaires distributed to 133 women participating in alpine tourism activities. 107 questionnaires were duly filled and returned. Structured interviews were conducted with the officials of Kenya Wildlife Service and the leaders of Mt. Kenya Guides and Porters Association. Qualitative data was analysed using content analysis, and quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that the marital status of the female mountain crew was the dominant social gender issue affecting women's participation in alpine tourism as most guides, porters and cooks were unmarried, and for those who were married, the majority of them experienced challenges relating to balancing work and family responsibilities. The study also established that there is a wage disparity between men and women working as guides, porters, and cooks. The study recommends the need for policy makers to implement policies that promote gender equality in the workplace, ensuring equal opportunities for women to engage in alpine tourism activities such as guiding, portering and cooking.In addition, the study recommends the need to develop family-friendly policies which enable married women to fully participate in alpine tourism activities without compromising their family duties. The study also recommends the need for the Nyeri County Department of Tourism, Trade, Culture and Cooperative Development in partnership with Mt. Kenya Guides and Porters Association, to organise short course training on mountaineering and capacity-building programs to enhance the English language proficiency of female porters and cooks, thereby improving their communication skills and enabling them to interact more effectively with tourists. The study further recommends the need for Mt. Kenya Guides and Porters Association to undertake a sensitisation forum for its members about sexual harassment subjected to female mountain crew by men participating in alpine tourism activities
Exploring Surfactant-Enhanced Stability and Thermophysical Characteristics of Water-Ethylene Glycol-Based Al2O3-TiO2 Hybrid Nanofluids
Authors: Urmi Wajiha Tasnim , Rahman M. M. , Kadirgama K. , Ramasamy D. , Samykano M. , Ali M. Y
Published: February 2024

This study presents an empirical investigation into the impact of surfactant's enhanced stability and thermophysical characteristics of water-ethylene glycol (60:40) based Al2O3-TiO2 hybrid nanofluids. It aims to shed light on the nanofluid's behavior, mainly how surfactants affect its stability and thermal performance, thus contributing to advancements in heat transfer technology and engineering applications. The growing interest in nanofluids, which involves blending nanoparticles with conventional base fluids, spans diverse sectors like solar energy, heat transfer, biomedicine, and aerospace. In this study, Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles are evenly dispersed in a DI-water and ethylene glycol mixture using a 50:50 ratio with a 0.1 % volume concentration. Three surfactants (SDS, SDBS, and PVP) are utilized to investigate the effect of the surfactants on hybrid nanofluids. The study examines the thermophysical characteristics of these hybrid nanofluids across a temperature range of 30 to 70 0C in 20 0C intervals to understand their potential in various industrial applications. The results show the highest stability period for nanofluids with PVP compared to nanofluids with surfactant-free and other surfactants (SDS, SDBS). The thermal conductivity is slightly decreased (max 4.61%) due to PVP surfactant addition compared to other conditions. However, the nanofluids with PVP still exhibit more excellent thermal conductivity value than the base-fluid and significantly reduced viscosity (max 55%). Hence, the enhanced thermal conductivity and reduced viscosity with improved stability due to PVP addition significantly impact heat transfer performance. However, the maximum thermal conductivity was obtained for surfactant-free Al2O3-TiO2/Water-EG-based hybrid nanofluids that reveal a thermal conductivity that is 17.05 % higher than the based fluid. Instead, the lower viscosity of hybrid nanofluids was obtained at 70 0C with the addition of PVP surfactant. Therefore, adding surfactants positively impacts Al2O3-TiO2/Water-EG-based hybrid nanofluids with higher stability, enhancing thermal conductivity and reducing viscosity compared to the based fluids. The results show that adding surfactants at a fixed volume concentration affects thermal conductivity at low temperatures and viscosity at high temperatures, suggesting that these fluids might be used as cooling agents to increase pumping power in industrial applications.

Published: February 2024

Despite the new technological advances, some traditional methodologies concerning wet chemistry must be used as reference methods when dealing with complex matrices or when no certified reference materials are available. In this context, Willard-Winter distillation is nowadays still employed as a reference technique for fluorine extraction in day-to-day analysis. However, this procedure requires strong acid mixtures, increasing waste treatment procedures/costs and the potential risks associated with their use. The present work reports the application of design of experiments (DoE) to improve the analytical methodology of reference for fluorine extraction through Willard-Winter distillation by substituting perchloric acid. Variables affecting the sample treatment of fluorine-containing compounds, anhydrite, fluorspar, cryolite and aluminium fluoride were studied to ensure complete dissolution and total extraction of fluorine. Volume of sulfuric acid, sample amount, volume of distilled solution including volume of melt and amount of NaOH for fluorspar and the extended fluoroaluminate compounds were the variables studied. Predicted experimental conditions were performed and validated in the target compound, obtaining fluorine concentrations comparable to those obtained by the reference methodology. By this modified approach, not only harmful effect of manipulation of perchloric acid is reduced but also costs of the analytical procedure do so. Besides, a greener performance is achieved by avoiding chlorinated species, reducing waste dangerousness and its treatment.

Authors: Vyas Anjali , Kataria Sunita , Prajapati Rajkumar , Jain Meeta
Published: February 2024

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that poses a significant threat to food safety and agricultural production worldwide. Its solubility enables easy entry into plants, leading to reductions in seed germination, growth and crop yield. Thus, it is crucial to discover methods to alleviate the harmful impact of Cd on plant growth. Magnetopriming (MP) is a non-invasive and cost-effective technique that has been proposed to improve plant growth under abiotic stress conditions. The current study investigated the potential of MP to improve the seed germination, early seedling growth and biochemical responses of soybean under Cd toxicity. Soybean seeds were magnetoprimed with static magnetic field (SMF) strength of 200 mT for 1 hour before germination. The unprimed and magnetoprimed seeds were grown under different concentrations of cadmium chloride (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200 and 300 μM CdCl2) in Petri plates for five days in the dark at 25 + 1°C. The results revealed that Cd toxicity significantly reduced the germination percentage and inhibited the seedling growth parameters and increased oxidative stress, as determined by malondialdehyde (MDA) content in soybean seedlings from unprimed seeds. The inhibitory effect was increased with increasing concentration of Cd. However, MP remarkably increased the germination percentage, seedling growth parameters, activities of total amylase and protease, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content and decreased MDA and proline content in germinating soybean seedlings at all concentrations of Cd. These findings suggest that MP can alleviate the adverse effects of Cd stress in soybean seedlings and increase the tolerance index towards Cd toxicity by enhancing the activity of amylotic and proteolytic enzymes and reducing oxidative stress.

In today's world, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important and influential field of research. It plays a key role in the development of technology, allowing the creation of intelligent systems and robots that can perform tasks that were once only possible for humans. In one of the facets of research in the field of AI, an important direction has been defined, which includes several main aspects. First, it is the development of formalization methods that allow presenting knowledge in a structured and logical form. This is necessary so that intelligent systems can effectively process and use this knowledge.

Secondly, they are actively studying and formalizing reasoning in this direction. This includes understanding and modeling the processes of decision-making, logical thinking and information analysis. Thirdly, communication and dialogue between intelligent systems and people are explored. This is important for the development of interfaces and systems that can communicate with users in natural language and understand their needs and wishes.

Fourthly, emphasis is placed on the development of algorithms to optimize the functioning of computing equipment and training of intelligent systems. This allows for improved productivity and efficiency of intelligent systems in various fields, from medicine and finance to transportation and manufacturing. In general, this line of research defines the key aspects of the development of artificial intelligence and is aimed at creating more intelligent and efficient intelligent systems that can make our lives more convenient and productive.
