Terjemahan Puisi Kanak-Kanak dalam Bahasa Melayu: Bentuk Teks Sasaran dan Teknik Penyesuaian
Authors: Haroon Haslina
Published: October 2023

Terjemahan sastera kanak-kanak, terutamanya yang memberikan fokus pada adaptasi, telah menarik perhatian ramai sarjana dalam bidang pengajian terjemahan. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian yang dilakukan sehingga kini dalam konteks Malaysia adalah terhad kepada terjemahan sastera kanak-kanak dalam bentuk prosa sahaja. Dengan mengambil kira kekurangan kajian yang berfokus pada sastera kanak-kanak dalam bentuk puisi dan kepentingan adaptasi dalam terjemahan rentas budaya, makalah ini meneliti cara puisi kanak-kanak (nursery rhymes) diterjemahkan daripada bahasa Inggeris kepada bahasa Melayu, dengan menggunakan puisi kanak-kanak yang terkandung dalam buku Haji’s Book of Malayan Nursery Rhymes (1939) sebagai sumber data. Secara khususnya, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti bentuk teks sasaran yang terhasil dalam terjemahan puisi kanak-kanak daripada bahasa Inggeris kepada bahasa Melayu, dan seterusnya membincangkan penyesuaian yang dilakukan pada teks berbentuk adaptasi untuk pembaca sasaran yang baharu. Untuk mencapai objektif yang pertama, kajian ini memanfaatkan kerangka bentuk teks sasaran yang diutarakan oleh Low (2013). Untuk objektif kedua pula, penelitian dilakukan bersandarkan pada kerangka teknik penyesuaian oleh Nida (1964) dan jenis parateks oleh Pellatt (2013). Kajian ini mendapati bahawa kebanyakan hasil terjemahan puisi kanak-kanak adalah dalam bentuk adaptasi. Penyesuaian pada teks berbentuk adaptasi ini kebanyakannya adalah dalam bentuk pindaan pada nama manusia, nama tempat serta nama tumbuh-tumbuhan dan makanan. Penyesuaian juga dilakukan dari segi parateks, sama ada dalam bentuk luaran atau dalaman, dan dalam bentuk bukan verbal dan verbal. Kajian ini menunjukkan dengan jelas bagaimana aspek teks dapat dimanipulasi dan aspek parateks dapat dipersembahkan untuk membentuk teks yang menonjolkan satu imej yang tertentu kepada pembaca sasaran.
JELMAAN REPTILIA DALAM AKAL BUDI MASYARAKAT IBAN: ANALISIS SEMANTIK INKUISITIF
Authors: Douglas Rynna Sha’erra Mindew , Subet Mary Fatimah , Daud Muhammad Zaid
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Images of reptile animals are often debated in various fields such as science, education and their use in proverbs of Malay idioms and Iban idioms. Observation of the characteristics of animals in these classes makes the Iban community more sensitive toward their surroundings. In the Iban idioms, the images of reptiles used are due to the inherent properties of the animals that are equated or reflected in the nature and actions of men in the past. A total of 15 Iban idioms using images of reptiles were generated from Bup Sempama Iban, a book written by Casper Kayong Umping (2011).. The proverbs data were analyzed using the Semantic Inquisitive Approach by applying the Bridging Cross Reference toward the corpus data. Based on the analysis, the proverbs using the images of reptiles show the traits possessed by humans and they are conveyed by the use of proverbs (Sempama Jaku Iban) with implied meanings and subtle language to keep the recipient's heart or listeners. The merging of data, the applied theory, and the culture applied in this study has successfully explained the implicit meaning behind the Iban idioms and the reflection of the minds of the speakers.

Keywords: Iban proverbs, iban mind, semantic inquisitive approach, bridging cross reference

Abstract: Advancements in the world of information technology and communication have direct and indirect effects on today's translation activities. This situation significantly influences the general public, especially Malay students, to use machine translation. This is because it is fast, easy, and free to use for meeting their daily life and learning needs. Among the machine translation search engines used are 'Google Translate' and 'Microsoft Bing Translator'. This research corpus focuses on the research aspect of translating noun forms such as relative, demonstrative, superlative, and interrogative found in the text of the book "al-Azkar" hadith into the Malay language. The theory of semantic and pragmatic translation introduced by Newmark forms the main basis for the analysis. The research findings show that there are several differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings that can lead to errors in meaning in the translations from 'Microsoft Bing Translator' (MB) compared to 'Google Translate' (TG). Among these are the selection of inappropriate vocabulary equivalents and the addition of auxiliary words in the Malay translations. This demonstrates that there are differences in software data between Google Translate and Microsoft Bing Translator.

Health Risk From Radioactive Iodine (RAI) Therapy And Medical Imaging- A Short Review
Authors: Nasir Siti Amira , Siti Amira Othman  , Nurul Izzah Mohamad Nordin
Published: October 2023

Different role of radioactive iodine (RAI) has a different dosage. RAI is the effective treatment for cancer but has a short or long side effects such as xerostomia and loss of taste or smell. Ablation, adjuvant and therapeutic is the role of RAI and all of it has risk. RAI tend to increase the survival for the patient on progression-free survival and disease- free survival.  Aside from that, computed tomography radiation has

been associated to a small but significant increase in the chance of fatal cancer during a person’s lifetime. This review aims to promote public awareness and lead initiatives to eliminate unneeded computed tomography scans. Despite evidence of recognized hazards of radiation-related computed tomography and cancer induction, the usage of pediatric computed tomography continues to rise. In the United States of America, more than 60 million computed tomography scans are projected to be conducted each year, with 7 million of those being performed on children. To decrease radiation exposure, pediatric radiologists employ the ALARA ('as low as reasonably achievable') concept. This idea is reinforced through education and lobbying directed towards recommending physicians. Clinical strategies that restrict computed tomography scanning and encourage non-radiation imaging modalities like ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging might help decrease radiation exposure even further. Although individual risk estimates are tiny, the widespread use of computed tomography in the community may result in future public health concerns.
A Note on Redesign Material Substitution and Topology Optimization in a Lightweight Robotic Gripper
Authors: Sudin Mohd Nizam , Md Daud N. , Shamsudin S.A , Ramli F. R.
Published: October 2023

The gripper is required because it is the portion of the robot that makes direct contact with the object being grasped. It should weigh as little as possible without compromising functionality or its performance. This study aims to reconsider the construction of a lightweight robotic gripper by modifying the gripper's materials and topology. Using the finite element (FE) method, several types of gripper materials were evaluated for static stress. On the basis of the results of the FE analysis, the optimal material candidate was chosen using the weighted objective method. Using the Fusion 360 software, the topology of the selected material was then optimized in an effort to achieve the 40% weight reduction’s objective. In addition, the suggested optimized geometry is then fine-tuned so that it can be manufactured as efficiently as possible. The final step in the validation of the robotic gripper's design was stress static analysis. The revised gripper design has a mass of 0.08 kg, a reduction of 94% from the original mass, and a safety factor of 3.67%, which satisfies the desired level of performance for the robotic gripper. Utilizing different materials and optimizing the gripper's topology can significantly reduce the overall mass of a robotic gripper.

Because of their ubiquitous nature, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely dispersed in the environment as a result of both natural and human processes. One of the ways to deal with the harmful effects of these chemicals is through the use of microorganisms capable of degrading the pollutants. A petrochemical contaminated site was searched for these microbes. Eleven bacterial strains were obtained in this work using the culture enrichment technique on Bushnell Hass medium supplemented with (naphthalene, anthracene, and phenanthrene) as the only source of energy. Enumeration utilizing the spread-plate technique and liquid media were used to examine the PAH breakdown capacities of bacterial strains. The isolates were identified using standard methods of morphological and biochemical identifications. Furthermore, 16sRNA was utilized in order to classify the isolates at molecular level. The presence of PAHs degrading genes was also analysed in the isolates. Four isolates (G1, G2, G5, and G6) out of a total of eleven were able to tolerate and degrade the test PAH's up to 600 mg/l in liquid media. Isolate G1 showed the highest growth during screening followed by G6 while there were no differences between the other two isolates as demonstrated by an increase in their optical densities after 120 hours of incubation. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and molecular phylogenetic analysis, the isolate was identified as Pseudomonas stutzeri, Stenetrophomonas sp, Pseudomonas lactis, and Achromobacterxylosoxidans with the accession numbers OM039162, OM52851, OM52852, and OM52853 respectively. Fragments of 350 bp, 350 bp, and 867 bp for ring hydroxylating dioxygenase (RHD), hydratase-aldolase, and catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase were obtained from partial PCR amplification of catabolic genes, demonstrating the presence of a PAH degradation pathway in the organisms. These isolates have great potential for application in the bioremediation of PAHs-contaminated sites.
Handcrafted and Transfer Learned Feature Techniques for Vehicle Make and Model Recognition on Nigerian Road
Authors: Irhebhude Martins E. , Adeola O Kolawole  , Michael Chinonye Izuegbu
Published: October 2023

The vehicle makes and model recognition (VMMR) is a challenging task due to the wide range of vehicle categories and similarities between different classes. Studies have shown that works have recognized vehicles of different countries' make and models. Popular vehicles on Nigerian roads may include products like; Toyota, Honda, Peugeot, Benz, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM), etc. The VMMR is important in the intelligent transport system hence, this paper presents a handcrafted and transfer learning model to detect stationary vehicles and classify them based on brand, make, and model. A new dataset was introduced consisting of selected images of popular brands of vehicles driven on Nigerian roads. Framework for a vehicle make and model recognition was developed by extracting features using EfficientNet and HOG models and evaluated on the locally gathered datasets. For classification, a linear Support Machine Vector (SVM) was used. Experimental results showed 94.5% on HOG, 97% with EfficientNet, and 98.1% accuracy when HOG and EfficientNet features were concatenation.  The proposed concatenated model outperformed HOG and EfficientNet extracted features by providing higher accuracy and confusion matrix with the highest number of classified images. The study shows the advantages of the proposed model in terms of its accuracy in terms of identifying the vehicle make and model.
Lessons to be learned from real life data from 98 gout patients using benzbromarone
Authors: Hotea Ioana , Janssen Matthijs , Jansen Tim L.
Published: October 2023

Aim: This study aims to analyze the efficacy and safety of benzbromarone as uricosuric, in a real-life clinical setting of a retrospective hospital-based gout cohort.
Methods: Data from gout patients were retrieved from the digital hospital dossiers. Demographics, clinical variables, and laboratory parameters were collected at baseline and 6 months. Efficacy was measured by reaching a serum uric acid (sUA) target < 0.30 mmol/L at 6 months, and the fractional excretion of uric acid (FeUA) was used as a parameter with a potential predictor value.
Results: Data from 98 gout patients were analyzed. Patients were 70 (± 12) years of age, and 90% were male. After 6 months of treatment, 68 out of 98 patients (69%) reached a sUA level < 0.30 mmol/L (5 mg/dL). In patients with a FeUA < 4.5%, so-called low excretors, the FeUA increase was most impressive from 3.2% (± 1.0%) to 12.1% (± 6.9%) after 6 months of benzbromarone treatment (mean increase +8.9% [95% confidence interval (CI): +6.5 to +11.5%], P < 0.001). In non-low excretors, FeUA was on average 7.3% (± 5.1%) and increased to 9.7% (± 6.1%): a mean +2.1% change (95% CI: –2.2 to +6.6%). The increase differed insignificantly in low versus non-low excretors: P > 0.05. Four patients stopped benzbromarone treatment because of a progressive decline in renal function, a condition that was already present before benzbromarone was initiated. Remarkably 38% of patients still using benzbromarone after 3.8 (± 3.4) years of treatment.
Conclusions: Using the uricosuric benzbromarone in real-life gout patients proved effectivity in lowering sUA levels within 6 months by increasing FeUA significantly. Particularly low excretors benefit from benzbromarone treatment manipulating this mode of action. Determining FeUA in gout patients may further help to find the patient profile benefiting the most from benzbromarone treatment.

The aim of the present paper is to investigate investigated the Radiation absorption and diffusion thermo on unsteady magneto hydrodynamic Kuvshinski fluid flow past an infinite vertical permeable moving plate in Presence of thermal radiation, heat absorption and homogenous chemical reaction, subjected to variable suction. The plate is assumed to be embedded in a uniform porous medium and Moves with a constant velocity in the flow direction in the presence of a transverse magnetic Field. The equations governing the flow are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using perturbation technique. Graphical results for the velocity distribution, temperature distribution and concentration distribution based on the numerical solutions are presented and discussed. Also discuss the effects of various parameters on the skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer in the form of Nusselt number and rate of mass transfer in the form of Sherwood number at the surface. Velocity and temperature distribution is observed to increase with an increase in Radiation absorption and Dufour parameter, whereas diminishes with enhances of Magnetic field, heat absorption coefficient, radiation parameter and chemical reaction parameter in respective velocity, temperature and concentration distributions.

The value of travel time is a necessity that is needed by travelers. Efficient time value will make a lot of cost savings to be incurred. Sisingamangaraja Street in Johan Pahlawan District, West Aceh Regency is one of the areas that is currently very developed. This is because this area is a place for offices, education, trade and housing for residents. The density of this area often causes traffic problems such as congestion so that accidents often occur. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of time spent by travelers using private vehicles (cars motorbikes). The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative method, by distributing questionnaires directly to private vehicle users. Data from the questionnaire will be analyzed by using multiple linear regression method with SPSS software to get equation of time value for cars and motorcycles. The results obtained from the data analysis show that there are several variables that affect the value of travel time, including: the amount of income (X3), type of work (X2), travel time (X5) and travel costs (X8). The regressions obtained for each vehicle are: cars, Y = 272,320 – 2,170 X2 + 1,113 X3 – 46,770 X5 + 112,113 X8 and motorcycles, Y = 20,289 – 3,429 X2 + 3,153 X3 – 36,475 X5 + 78,129 X8. From these equations it can be concluded that the time value of a car is Rp. 35,021.28/hour and the value of travel time for a motorcycle is Rp. 14,508.66/hour.Keywords:Keyword: Time Value; Private Vehicle; Multiple Linear Analysis.

A Narrative of Marikana Tragedy Against Right to Life and Right to Human Dignity Under the South African Constitution
Authors: Nodangala Norless Zibele , Masumbe Paul S.
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the study was to assess the events in Marikana against the elements of life and dignity as fundamental rights listed in the Bill of Rights in the South African Constitution of 1996 hereafter referred to as the Constitution. This paper argued that stakeholders ignored workers’ rights especially the right to life and dignity at the expense of corporate profit. This paper therefore assessed the Farlam Commission’s findings on the human rights violations by the state and the mine authorities. The Farlam Commission findings and recommendations indicated, further, that one of the consequences of the establishment of a constitutional state that respects every person’s right to life is that tighter restrictions may have to be introduced on the use of lethal force in making arrests. It is argued that human dignity, as one of the founding values of democratic South Africa, plays a pivotal role in addressing human rights issues. The authors contend that the foundations of the new age where all people’s rights must be preserved and respected are a total transformation and a restoration of a human life. This is founded on South Africa’s history of human rights violations, total disdain and terrible inhumanity by the apartheid administration. The authors hope that the arguments set out in this paper will help add to the debate on the realisation of rights and strengthen the practical application of the fundamental rights of life and human dignity as enshrined in the South African Bill of Rights.

Keywords: Human Dignity, Right to Life, Constitutional Values, Democratic State.

Aim: To define the role of prophylactic parathyroidectomy in the surgical treatment of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in multiple endocrine neoplasia type IIa (MEN2A) syndrome through a literature review.

Materials and methods: The database of PubMed was searched using the terms “parathyroidectomy” and “medullary” in the fields “Title” and “Abstract”, as well as the Google Scholar database. Articles without references to parathyroid management strategies were mainly excluded.

Results: Fourteen articles were reviewed as relevant to this study regarding recommendations for the management of parathyroids during prophylactic thyroidectomy in patients with MTC in MEN2A syndrome. Three of them had the same or similar purpose to our work, and the most recent literature review did not clearly support either one of the two management strategies. References to parathyroid management were found in the rest of the articles, but their purpose was not to determine the appropriate management strategy. The majority of the authors support the preservation of macroscopically normal parathyroid glands, while one study favored routine total parathyroidectomy and autografting.

Conclusions: Although there does not seem to be a gold standard, the strategy of preserving macroscopically normal parathyroid glands with routine lab testing and surgical exploration for hyperparathyroidism during thyroidectomy seems to be a safe and effective strategy.
