Bio-remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated site using nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and urea: A case study of Ogoni clean –Up
Authors: Sandra Ebere Ezeani  , Winston Ibifubara Bell-Gam
Published: July 2024

Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils is a relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly technology that is applicable over a large area of contaminated site. The paper is a case study of a successful ex situ bioremediation of a hydrocarbon contaminated site in Ogoni Land, Rivers State. The contaminated soils were excavated, treated in an engineered biocell, and sprinkled with nutrient media to enhance microbial population and biodegradation. The biocell was constructed using laterite material. The floor was lined with High Density Polyethylene material. The treatability study of the contaminated soil was conducted to determine the quantity of nutrient required to boost the microbial population in the affected soil. A PNutrient made up of (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) NPK 20-10-10 and urea at a quantity established by the EnviTech Calculator was used for the treatment. Due to varying depths and concentrations of the contaminant, nutrient adjustments necessary to enhance rapid microbial population and degradation were noted and undertaken. Soil sampling and analysis were conducted at the end of every treatment cycle to establish reduction of the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon to an allowable limit. The project has proven to be successful and beneficial in the clean-up and restoration of Ogoni Land.

Published: July 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool that harnesses anthropomorphic knowledge and provides expedited solutions to complex challenges. Remarkable advancements in AI technology and machine learning present a transformative opportunity in Uganda's drug discovery, formulation, and testing of pharmaceutical dosage forms. Researchers can identify disease-associated targets and predict their interactions with potential drug candidates by utilizing AI algorithms that analyze extensive biological data, including genomics and proteomics. This enables a more efficient and targeted approach to drug discovery, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful drug approvals in Uganda. Furthermore, AI can contribute to reducing development costs by optimizing research and development processes in Uganda's pharmaceutical industry. Machine learning algorithms assist in experimental design and can predict the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of drug candidates in Uganda. This capability enables the prioritization and optimization of lead compounds, reducing the need for extensive and costly animal testing in Uganda. Personalized medicine approaches can be facilitated through AI algorithms that analyze real-world patient data, leading to more effective treatment outcomes and improved patient adherence in Uganda. This comprehensive review explores the wide-ranging applications of AI in drug discovery, drug delivery dosage form designs, process optimization, testing, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) studies in Uganda. This review provides an overview of various AI-based approaches utilized in pharmaceutical technology in Uganda, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks. Nevertheless, the continued investment in and exploration of AI in the pharmaceutical industry offers exciting prospects for enhancing drug development processes and patient care in Uganda.
Effect of meditation on emotion and behavior of differently abled adolescent
Authors: Bindhu P
Published: July 2024

Background: Deaf and dumb adolescents navigate a distinct set of challenges compared to their peers with typical hearing and speech abilities. Communication barriers and potential social isolation may contribute to heightened emotional stress, impacting their overall mental health. The potential benefits of meditation, which include stress reduction, improved emotional regulation, and increased mindfulness, offer a promising avenue for supporting the well-being of these adolescents. In the realm of psychological and emotional well-being, the study of meditation has gained increasing attention for its potential to enhance various aspects of mental health. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the influence of meditation on the emotional and behavioral dimensions of these differently abled adolescents. Materials and Methods: In this pre-experimental one group pretest and posttest design, 30 differently abled belonging to age 11-18 years with complete hearing loss were selected by consecutive sampling. The Child Behavior Checklist was used to collect data using interview technique. Intervention was provided in terms of 3 sessions. Results: In pretest 17% of them were found with borderline emotional and behavioral problems whereas in posttest only 13%of them showed borderline emotional and behavioral problems. There is significant difference in the level of emotion and behavior among differently abled adolescents before and after meditation (p<0.001).There was significant association between level of emotion and behavior of differently abled adolescents and selected demographic variables like gender and their hobbies. Conclusion: There is an immense need for promoting meditation practice regularly in the school and residential areas to promote emotional and behavioral wellbeing.

The discipline of the teacher's work includes an educator's obedience and observance of all the rules or regulations that have been enforced in the school with full consciousness from within. One example of the teacher's work discipline is his regular attendances. At Vocational high school (SMKN) 1 Rambah, the teacher attendance system is through an automatic attendance system that uses fingerprints, where teachers fill out attendance forms every day with a technology device that uses fingerprints as the user identification medium. Using fingerprint attendance machines at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic is very ineffective because fingerprinting tools touched by many people can cause the coronavirus to stick to the device and spread to the school environment. As a result, a new teacher attendance application must be designed and developed using a web-based GPS (Global Positioning System) and Android devices. This application is expected to break the COVID-19 transmission sequence. The application can be accepted and applied to SMK State 1 Rambah based on the results of testing using UAT (User Acceptance Testing)

Este estudo investiga as complexas interações entre memórias, identidades e educação crítica na formação de professores. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa, analisamos como as memórias transcendem o mero registro do passado, influenciando ativamente a construção da identidade individual e coletiva. Destacamos o papel fundamental da memória na formação da identidade pessoal e profissional, ressaltando sua importância na construção de narrativas de si. Além disso, exploramos a relação entre memórias e educação crítica, demonstrando como a reflexão sobre as experiências passadas pode promover uma abordagem mais consciente e inovadora na prática pedagógica. A integração desses elementos na formação de professores foi discutida em detalhes, enfatizando a necessidade de reconhecer e valorizar as histórias individuais e coletivas na educação. Utilizando contribuições teóricas de diversos estudiosos, como Candau (2010), Halbwachs (2013), Pereira (2016), Momberger (2008) e Dolabela (2013), foram apresentadas recomendações para uma prática pedagógica mais inclusiva, reflexiva e empoderadora. Este estudo contribui significativamente para o campo da educação, fornecendo insights valiosos sobre como cultivar uma mentalidade crítica e transformadora em educadores e estudantes, preparando-os para enfrentar os desafios do século XXI e se tornarem agentes de mudança em suas comunidades.

Audiences’ Perception of Rape Euphemism In the Sexual Violence News in Online Media
Authors: Pradipta Ade Devia , Resen Putu Titah Kawitri
Published: July 2024

Online media is a form of mass media that is close to society, especially in the era of increasingly massive development of information and communication technology. One type of information that the public is interested in in online media is news, especially cases of sexual violence such as rape. Rape is a serious crime because it harms the victim from physical and psychological aspects. Reporting about rape incidents generally applies euphemisms for verbs that represent heinous acts. In some cases of rape, the criminal act is replaced with several words such as "digagahi", "dicabuli", "dirudapaksa", even if the perpetrator is more than one person, the word choice used is "digilir". The aim of this research is to describe public perceptions regarding the replacement of the word rape in reporting about sexual violence in online media. The results of this research found that respondents felt that it was important for the media to replace the word rape because it made the news more polite and more comfortable to read. The pronouns most frequently read by respondents were molested and fucked. Furthermore, this research also found that some word choices actually perpetuate the dominance of perpetrators, who are mostly male, over victims, who are usually women or minors.
The Taste, Ritual, and Cultural Essence Within a Bowl of Mie Rebus Belitung
Authors: Mervia Regitha Anna , Kho Gerson Ralph Manuel
Published: July 2024

One of the provinces in Indonesia famous for its diverse local cuisine is the Bangka Belitung Province, particularly in Belitung Regency. One of the well-known local dishes from Belitung is Mie Rebus Belitung. Mie Rebus Belitung is a preparation of yellow noodles drenched in hot shrimp broth. This dish is even recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Besides being considered a filling meal, Mie Rebus Belitung also reflects the culture, identity, and history that form the local identity of Belitung. This research aims to examine the role of the local dish Mie Rebus Belitung in preserving the cultural identity in Belitung. The theories utilized in this research are the Cultural Heritage Theory and the Cultural Representation & Heritage Theory. The research methodology employed is qualitative research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with cultural experts from Belitung and literature reviews. The result of this research is that Mie Rebus Belitung contains cultural symbolism with potatoes (Dutch), noodles (Chinese), and seafood (Local Belitung). The use of simpor leaves as the wrapping for Mie Rebus Belitung expresses creativity and local identity in Belitung. Mie Rebus Belitung is also a symbol of communication with values that will be conveyed to future generations, either as a standalone dish or packaged in ritual processes such as “makan bedulang” (ritual feasting). The conclusion of this research is that Mie Rebus Belitung is a culinary dish whose history is connected to the arrival of Chinese and Dutch residents in Belitung. The distinctive feature of this dish is the use of simpor leaves as its wrapper. By combining elements from these three cultures, Mie Rebus Belitung becomes a symbol of identity and the cultural richness of Belitung.

La lingua come ingegnere del carattere nazionale: studi di lingvokul’turologija
Authors: Pomarolli Giorgia
Published: July 2024

Within post-Soviet Russian academy, the discourse on national character has gained a huge popularity thanks to a new scholarly field known as lingvokul’turologija (linguistic culturology). Moving from the assumption that language is “the engineer of human soul”, scholars propose to consider grammatical, lexical, and semantic structures of Russian language as clues which disclose traits of Russian national character. Whilst such discourse is inconsistent from the perspective of linguistic science, I suggest it is highly effective in that of the narrative identity it delivers; a narrative whose results go far beyond the boundaries of the academy.
‘The great change’: Herbert Dhlomo’s “An Experiment in Colour”
Authors: Iannaccaro Giuliana
Published: July 2024

In 1945, the South African writer and journalist Herbert Dhlomo wrote an article in The Democrat where he stated: “Obliged to live as a begging worker in the city and a comparatively free kraal-head in his rural home, the tribal African has a Jekyll-and-Hyde existence”. Ten years before, in 1935, he had published a short story, “An Experiment in Colour”, in which the protagonist changes from black to white (and back) after discovering a miraculous serum, thus acquiring a double identity very much like Jekyll’s – and similarly socially destructive. The short story is challenging: as a cultural ‘product’ of two prominent South African missionary institutions (American Board Mission and Glasgow Missionary Society), Dhlomo had imbibed the project of a thorough reformation of the ‘Bantu’ man – that ‘great change’, both in the private and in the social sphere, that only Christianity could put in motion. And yet, from the very beginning of his literary production, Dhlomo has responded to the missionary project in an ambivalent way. ‘An Experiment in Colour’ is both a dystopic literary response to contradictory social pressures, and a disquieting narrative that denounces alarming social problems.
„Türke von Geburt“ und „Staatsbürger der Bundesrepublik“
Überlegungen zum irregulären Lebenslauf von Jakob Arjounis Privatermittler Kemal Kayankaya
Authors: Moraldo Sandro M.
Published: July 2024

With his first crime novel Happy birthday, Turk! (1985) Jakob Arjouni established a private investigator with a migration background, but whose lifestyle does not differ from that of the indigenous population. The aim of my contribution is to use statements by Jakob Arjouni himself, as well as a collage of the biographical data on Kemal Kayankaya scattered throughout the five crime novels, to show that while the serial hero has developed a bicultural self-confidence, often stylized as a metaphor of his cultural hybridity, more importantly he takes a post-integrative perspective, resulting from his gradual assimilation into German culture and society which began in his childhood and was completed in the course of his adolescence.
Orienting the Occident
Italian Travel and Migrant Writing in Mexico (1890-1932)
Authors: Savarino Roggero Franco , Zuccala Brian
Published: July 2024

This article addresses a comparatively neglected corpus of Italian travel and migrant writing in Mexico, ranging from Luigi Bruni’s Attraverso il Messico (1890) to Emilio Cecchi’s Messico (1932). It does so from the methodological angle of nation-making and through the seemingly counter-intuitive prism of Italian Orientalism(s). This article focuses on two key moments of both Italian and Mexican history: Post-Unification/Porfiriato and Ventennio/Post-Revolution. The discussion revolves around the problematization of the construction of an Otherized subalternity as a way for the emerging elites to discursively develop and circulate their worldview.

The Roots of Textual Agency
The Semiotics of Motivation and Demotivation
Authors: Leone Massimo
Published: July 2024

This introductory essay deals with the origins of textual agency and inertia. Texts predominantly work as indexes, icons, or symbols, according to Peirce’s typology of signs. These three types usually exert agency to an increasing extent. The essay seeks to determine the origin of this gradient in the dialectics between motivation and arbitrariness. The more a text is received as motivated, the likelier it is that it might exert a strong agency. This hypothesis leads also to an articulation of the rhetorics of motivation or de-motivation through which communities of interpreters can promote or demote the agentive force of a certain text.

A Semiotic Analysis of a Tawriya-Epigram by Ibn al-ʿAṭṭār (d. 794/1392)
Authors: Rizzo Luca
Published: July 2024

This paper engages in a semiotic analysis of a tawriya-epigram by Šihāb al-Dīn b. al-yAṭṭār (d. 794/1392). Mamluk literature is renowned for its extended usage of rhetorical figures, above all the tawriya ‘double entendre’. My goal is to shed light on tawriya, taking into account the Arabic classical theory and presenting a new approach based on semiotics. The subject of my analysis is what was the most flourishing literary genre of the epoch: the epigram. Within the epigram, the tawriya plays a pivotal role. Its potential is not limited to the engendering of a twofold reading of the text but rather goes further and creates a second text out from the first, both of which cooperate with one another and shed light upon their respective meanings. Therefore, the epigram by Ibn al-ʿAṭṭār is a construction of several texts, each of which is mutually linked and deeply-rooted in the social and physical environment depicted in the poem: the ḥammām.
The Italian Opera Culture in Constantinople During the Nineteenth Century
New Data and Some Ideological Issues
Authors: Cattelan Vittorio
Published: July 2024

Among the Turkish lyrics of Giuseppe Donizetti there are texts of singular modernity that exalt the Christians and Muslims’ brotherhood and accurately manifest the Tanzimat ideological value. Donizetti and other Italian composers took part in a metissage project also involving the Levantine community but above all the Constantinopolitan Armenians who managed the theatres and edited noteworthy translations of dramma per musica. The Italian composers, moreover, in writing Ottoman lyrics with Latin letters, apparently only to simplify the singer’s reading, actually paved the way to the literacy process of modern Turkey. This essay aims to re-evaluate Italian opera’s role in the Westernist aspiration context of 19th century Turkey.
Raccontarsi con le macerie: voce e autorialità in Fihris di Sinan Antoon
Authors: Pozzoli Federico
Published: July 2024

The great expansion of post-occupation Iraqi fiction, with its overall departure from social realism and its exploration of new genres, has brought along a new conceptualization of the Author. This paper aims to study how a peculiar figure of authoriality is both invoked and projected through narrative voices in Sinan Antoon’s Fihris (2016). A complex and multi-layered text, Antoon’s novel is narrated by human and non-human voices. Yet, despite the scattered and fragmented surface of narration, a hierarchical, almost concentric organizational principle is provided by the relations between the main narrators in a context of metalepsis. The analysis will focus on the strategies of authentication employed by narrators of different diegetic levels in the novel, from the short stories embedded, to the further level of authority provided by the autobiographical elements in the narrative frame.
Atypical Compound Verb Constructions in Hindi/Urdu
The Case of Transitive Polar Verbs with Intransitive Vector Verbs
Authors: Drocco Andrea , Tiwari Neha
Published: July 2024

While a lot of research has already been done on defining compound verb constructions and understanding their semantic and pragmatic usages, there is still a gap when it comes to our understanding of atypical compound verb constructions where transitive polar verbs are paired with intransitive vector verbs and vice versa. In this paper we focus on atypical constructions with two intransitive vector verbs: jānā and baiṭhnā. We collate and review the different meanings that scholars have ascribed to these constructions and present our own analysis. We conclude that the main reason behind using an intransitive vector verb with a transitive polar verb is to reduce the transitivity of the action by implying reduced agency on the part of the Agent-like argument of the sentence. In addition to that, the use of an intransitive vector verb with a transitive polar verb also tells us which argument in the sentence is affected by the action from the point of view of the speaker. However, sometimes atypical constructions are also used by the speaker to express his/her shock or astonishment over a particular event, thus imposing his/her own ideas about agency, volitionality, and affectedness on the action being observed.
MF Husain’s Hindi Autobiography Em. Ef. Husain kī kahānī apnī zubānī
Sketches of a Performative Self, Surfing the World in Space and Time
Authors: Consolaro Alessandra
Published: July 2024

Drawing from Elizabeth Grosz’s notion of the body as a socio-cultural artefact and the exterior of the subject bodies as psychically constructed, and Rosi Braidotti’s concept of nomadic identities, in this article I introduce world-renowned Indian painter MF Husain’s verbal and visual autobiography Em. Ef. Husen kī kahānī apnī zubānī as a series of sketches of a performative self, surfing the world in space and time. Bodies and spaces are envisioned as “assemblages or collections of parts” in constant movement, crossing borders and creating relationships with other selves and other spaces. People and places become a catalyst for manifestations of the self in art – MF Husain being foremost a painter – and eventually also in literature. I look for strategies that MF Husain uses in order to construct or deconstruct the self through crossings and linkages. I try to investigate how the self is performed inside and outside private and public spaces, how the complex (sometimes even contradictory) relationship between self and community is portrayed, and how this autobiography does articulate notions of (imagined) community/ies, nationalism, transnational subjectivity, nostalgia.
Ah Q Travels to Europe
Christoph Hein’s Die wahre Geschichte des Ah Q (1983) and Dario Fo’s La storia di Qu (2011)
Authors: Pesaro Nicoletta
Published: July 2024

This study focuses on the adaptations of the novella “The True Story of Ah Q” by the Chinese writer Lu Xun (1881-1936), produced by two important European playwrights, Christoph Hein (b. 1944) and Dario Fo (1926-2016), who ‘translated’ Lu Xun’s famous character respectively into a problematic nihilist (Die wahre Geschichte des Ah Q, 1983) and into a revolutionary Chinese Harlequin (La storia di Qu, 1989; 2011). These two plays appropriate the ‘hypotext’ into a new cultural geography, which is neither Chinese nor completely German or Italian, but rather a transcultural space based on the European intellectual tradition of the ‘anarchist’. In this case translation means a thorough transformation and change which allows Lu Xun’s work to ‘live on’ (Fortleben, as in Walter Benjamin’s theory).
Fra Contadini di Errico Malatesta, da Firenze a Tokyo
Authors: Dornetti Filippo
Published: July 2024

In recent years scholars of anarchism have examined the movement’s transnational dimensions. This new research succeeded in redefining the periodization and the geography of anarchism. However, the debate has been limited to the Western speech communities. This paper tries to reconstruct the process of introduction and circulation in Japan of Fra contadini, a pamphlet written by the Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta, focusing on the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Through the analysis of different periodicals, both Japanese and Europeans, this article will show how the pamphlet changed the Japanese perception of the Italian revolutionist, considering as well the way in which the text was instrumental in the evolution of the local Anarchist debate. The anomalous introduction of the Italian pamphlet in the Japanese context throws new light upon the transnational connections between European and East Asian anarchism, challenging the widely accepted diffusionist model.

Published: July 2024

The present paper presents the first volume of Collezioni epigrafiche della Grecia occidentale/Epigraphische Sammlungen aus Westgriechenland. It reflects, on the one hand, on the absolute necessity to preserve multilingualism in Altertumswissenschaft; on the other, on the purposes and methods of making catalogues or inventories of epigraphic collections; and finally on the past conditions and the current state of epigraphic and prosopographic research in West Greece and especially in Aetolia.
Water in the Lycus Valley (Hierapolis of Phrygia and Laodicea)
Authors: Guizzi Francesco
Published: July 2024

The paper addresses some issues on water and the water supply system of two cities of the Lycus Valley (Asia Minor) in the imperial age: Hierapolis of Phrygia and Laodicea on the Lycus. Many authors testify to the phenomenon of Hierapolis’ springs of hot waters. Vitruvius witnesses the use of water for the construction of fences in the first century BCE. So does Strabo more or less in the same time span, while the jurist of Augustan age, Antistius Labeo, refers precisely to the case of Hierapolis when treating the interdictum de aquis frigidis. In the second part of the article, some inscriptions of Laodicea referring to fountains and the water supply system are studied.
Economic Aspects of a New 5th Century BC Arcade Sacrificial Calendar
Authors: Rosamilia Emilio
Published: July 2024

In 2015, a new 22-line-long fifth-century-BC Arkadian inscription was published for the first time. While prior editors thought that the document dealt with rites pertaining to a single festival, a new interpretation of the text as a sacrificial calendar covering a few months is here envisaged. In addition, closer examination of the inscription’s economic aspects calls for a lower dating. Although spits recur twice, local silver coinage is likely mentioned in line 22. Therefore, the text cannot be earlier than the mid-fifth century BC. Lastly, an educated guess is made about the nature of the “one-hundred” mentioned in line 10.
Film Adaptation as the Art of Expansion
The Visual Poetics of Marleen Gorris in Mrs. Dalloway
Authors: Rybina Polina
Published: July 2024

his article discusses changes in central metaphors through which contemporary adaptation studies strive to chart the enormous territory of film adaptations that exists today. Previously concerned with privileging literary texts over their media ‘replays’, these ‘new wave’ studies tend to prioritize other aspects of the adaptation process: intertextual overwriting (Stam 2005), reappropriation of the literary past for the sake of the present (Sanders 2015), exploitation of literature (Cartmell 2017), etc. Departing from the metaphor of ‘competition’ between media (Jameson 2011), we suggest that the adaptation process be discussed as the art of expansion. The key issue in this research lies in bringing to the forefront the filmmaker’s visual poetics and the place his/her adaptation has among other cinematic works of the same period. This article shows how Marleen Gorris’s Mrs. Dalloway (1997) reveals its ‘expansive’ potential when read both through the lens of the heritage film style and the previous filmmaker’s work, Antonia’s Line (1995).
Passionate Educations
John Locke, Aphra Behn, and Jane Austen
Authors: Hultquist Aleksondra
Published: July 2024

This article connects John Locke’s concept of uneasiness to Aphra Behn’s poem “On Desire: A Pindarick” and Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park. Behn and Austen offer a corrected reading of Locke’s overtly rationalist ideas. This comparison suggests the importance of passionate engagement as related to knowledge. This article uses a contemporary understanding of the long eighteenth-century passions to argue for how passionate experience and knowing might have occurred through the literary examples of Aphra Behn and Jane Austen.
