Atrial Fibrillation with Ventricular Pre-Excitation: A Diagnosis That Must Not Be Missed
Authors: Ioannou Adam
Published: July 2022

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is caused by an accessory pathway that communicates between the atria and ventricles known as the Bundle of Kent. The development of atrial fibrillation, can result in the atrial impulses all being conducted via the accessory pathway and result in a sinister, board complex, irregular tachycardia, with varying QRS morphology (known as pre-excited atrial fibrillation) Adenosine is a potent atrioventricular node blocker, which can be used in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardias, but also has diagnostic utility, particularly in differentiating between supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction (which would often terminate) and a ventricular tachycardia (which would not respond to adenosine). However, the administration of adenosine in pre-excited atrial fibrillation can precipitate 1:1 atrial to ventricular conduction, which can degenerate into life-threatening ventricular arrythmias. This case describes a patient who presented with pre-excited atrial fibrillation and received intravenous adenosine that resulted in development of broad complex tachycardia with haemodynamic compromise. In patients with pre-exited atrial fibrillation, AV nodal blocking agents should be avoided and direct current cardioversion should be utilised.

Published: July 2022

An elderly (76 years old) immunocompromised Iraqi male had carcinoma of colon stage 3c without metastasis operated for seven years before, plus chemotherapy for one year. In winter 2022, this man sorrowed from a sore throat, voice change, and a rise in temperature (37.4 C). Later, dry cough developed in subsequent hours and deteriorated quickly to yellow-colored sputum, plus an increment in his temperature (37.8 C). After that, the patient had non-specific, non-itchy, follicular erythematous papules. The rash varies in size and shape, distributed in the abdomen, lower back, and legs. Two physicians proved pneumonia by clinical means, plus two successive chest x-rays, but the patient refused the laboratory investigations for Covid. He took two doses of the Chinese vaccine (Sinopharm) six months before recent symptoms. After strict treatment, the cough became less frequent, white-colored sputum, fever dropped gradually, at the end of the week. On the tenth day from the beginning of the man's symptoms, the skin rash faded slowly due to prednisolone usage.

Case Report: Anisocoria (Unilateral Acute Mydriasis) After Travel on a Cruise Ship
Authors: Espinosa James
Published: July 2022

A 32-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with a complaint of blurred vision of a three hour duration. Her husband noted that her right pupil appeared to be dilated. However, on repeat questioning, the patient offered that she had just returned from a Caribbean cruise. She was asked about the use of a scopolamine patch. At that point, she recalled that she had removed a scopolamine patch from behind her right ear and had removed her contact lses just prior to the onset of symptoms. She noted that she had experienced some difficulty removing the contact lens of her right eye. She had removed the contact lens and the scopolamine patch with the right hand. The blurry vision began minutes later. The patient was offered confirmatory testing with pilocarpine drops, but she declined, as she felt very confident in the association of the association of the scopolamine patch with the onset of symptoms. She was discharged with follow up with ophthalmology. Her symptoms resolved fully within 24 hours of ED discharge. This case highlights the importance of recursive history taking in the event of an usual presentation.
Effect of NaBH4 concentration on hardness and microstructural properties of electroless deposited St-37 steel
Authors: YILMAZ Yasin , AKBULUT Hatem , UYSAL Mehmet
Published: July 2022

In this study, electroless Ni-B depositions were achieved on the St-37 steel substrates at different NaBH4 concentrations and 950 oC and 1 hour. Electroless Ni-B deposited samples had a cauliflower-like surface texture that makes the electroless Ni-B deposited surface lubricating naturally and as the NaBH4 concentration increased, the grain size decreases in the microstructure. XRD spectra of the sample showed partial amorph region together with the crystalline region. Microhardness testing of the deposited samples were performed with a microhardness tester under a load of 25 g and an indentation time of 10 s. The highest hardness value was obtained in the sample prepared with 1.4 g/l NaBH4 concentration.
Eksiton Polariton Yoğunlaşmasında Amplifikasyon Üzerinde Kontrol
Authors: BORİSENOK Sergey
Published: July 2022

Exciton polariton condensates are the most well-studied case of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of quasiparticles. Together with their prominent fundamental importance, the exciton-polariton condensates have a wide spectrum of engineering applications covering interferometry and metrology, different types of SQUIDs and accelerometers, and forming a universal gate set for quantum computing via the control with external laser pulses. The efficient experimental manipulation with the polariton BEC can be realized via the bosonic final-state stimulation, matter-wave amplification, or by lasing of polaritons, but a satisfactory theoretical model for such control has not been developed yet. Here we study the polariton matter-wave amplifier based on the stimulated scattering of massive particles. The amplification of the injected quasiparticles is achieved through an elastic scattering of so-called lower polaritons (LPs). Such an amplifier has many advantages compared with a standard lasing or using a photon amplifier: it can provide a sufficient gain coefficient. To develop an efficient control algorithm for the polariton amplifier we use here the dynamical model for the LP population proposed by Ciuti, Savona, et al. in 1998. The phenomenological model for the gain coefficient is based on the experiments with cold collisions of polaritons performed by Deng, Haug, and Yamamoto in 2010 and later. We use different feedback algorithms (speed gradient vs target attractor) to track efficiently the polariton population in the amplifier. We compare the pros and cons of our alternative approaches and discuss their possible engineering applications.

Published: July 2022

Rumen, main compartment of the stomach of ruminant herbivores, have a low redox potential and anaerobic ecosystem in where various microbial populations inhabit, such as bacteria, anaerobic gut fungi (AGF), protozoa and archaea. These microbial groups have a symbiotic life whilist both synergetic releationship and inhibition of some activities could be observed when they are cultured as mixture. Relatively higher enzyme activities of the AGF is well documented although our knowledge about the possible effects of coculturing with lactic acid bacteria on their enzyme activity is still limited. In current work, AGF Neocallimastix GMLF11 was cocultured with Enterecoccus sp and Bifidobacterium sp separately and its enzyme activities (inulinase and sucrase) were determined at 45 oC after 24, 36 and 48 hours incubation periods. The highest supernatant specific sucrase (EC 3.2.1.48) activity of Neocallimastix GMLF11 and Enterecoccus sp coculture was determined as 21,4 mol/min/mg/ml protein for 36h incubation while cell associated specific sucrase activity of same mixture was observed as 22,4 mol/min/mg/ml protein for 48 h incubation. Neocallimastix GMLF11 and Bifidobacterium sp coculture showed the highest cell associated specific sucrase activity at 48h incubation as 22,4 mol/min/mg/ml protein, whilst that activity was determined as 24,6 mol/min/mg/ml protein for supernatant samples at the end of 24h incubation period. The highest cell associated and supernatant specific activities of pure culture of Neocallimastix sp was 8 and 12,3 mol/min/mg/ml respectively. Axenic cultures of Enterecoccus sp and Bifidobacterium sp showed 20,7 and 21 mol/min/mg/ml protein supernatant enzyme activity respectively, while cell associated specific activities of that cultures were calculated as 15,9 and 17,6 mol/min/mg/ml protein respectively. These results suggest that enzyme activities of these microbial groups are remarkably induced when they were grown in coculture.
THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION OF THE EFFICIENCY ASSESSING OF PRODUCTION DIVERSIFICATION OF AN AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISE
Authors: Lagodiienko Volodymyr , Denysiuk Tetiana , Piechka Serhii
Published: July 2022

Diversification of activities in a market economy allows agricultural enterprises to quickly restructure depending on economic conditions to reduce risks, flexibly respond to changing demand structure, maintain and most efficiently use human, logistical and financial resources. In general, this process is the inclusion in the economic structure of the enterprise of new activities with significantly different qualitative and quantitative characteristics. The chaotic diversification of domestic enterprises is not only due to their low market activity, lack of public policy, but also the lack of specialists who can make the process conscious and useful for businesses. For agricultural enterprises, the problem of effective diversification remains very important, as such a transformation allows to solve the problem of reducing costs, eliminating dependence on suppliers and subcontractors, the formation of working capital, maximum use of capacity in general. The main reasons for diversification are to increase the economic efficiency of the enterprise at the moment and in the long run, as well as economic stability and financial stability, growth, profits, competitiveness with full use of resources. The nature of the activities of diversified enterprises and associations, their similarities and differences are mainly due to two factors. The action of one is related to the technical and technological features of the products and its volumes, the other - depends on the nature of demand for products (services) (mass, serial, single). These parameters determine the conditions and incentives for entrepreneurial activity, and, consequently, the scale and direction of diversification.

The effectiveness of diversification in the social aspect is manifested in the increase in the number of new jobs due to the expansion of the organization, the release of new products of improved quality that fully meets the needs of both target audience and newly attracted consumers.
Transformation of China's automotive building sector
Authors: Koziuk Viktor , Kishko Nazarii
Published: July 2022

China's automotive industry is recovering rapidly in 2022 and is directly affecting the economies of many countries, and the electric car market is competing with the world's largest car companies and is the most promising for investment. Cars have revolutionized the concept of mobility, making it easier for goods and people to move around geographical regions than ever before. Over the decades, developed countries have witnessed how increased vehicle ownership and improved transport infrastructure have led to countering urbanization - the migration of people, businesses and industry from cities to the recently underdeveloped suburbs. This trend is spreading to emerging economies. There is one car for every five people worldwide; in the US there is one car for 1.25 citizens. However, in China, despite the 300 million cars per 1,000 people, there are only 173 cars. But, in 2009, the Chinese car market became the largest in the world, surpassing the US market in both sales and production. The automotive industry has provided 5% of the country's annual GDP annually since 2002, and accounted for 7.4% of GDP in 2010. Cars can improve the quality of life by increasing mobility, comfort and safety.

For the Chinese society, the automotive industry has always been an attractive topic. On the one hand, this industry has long remained outside the system of state planning. Due to the emphasis on industrial capital goods rather than consumer goods, the passenger vehicle sector (including car manufacturing) has not been a key industry for decades, which is a typical Gerschenkron strategy of industrialization. It was only after China's "automotive policy of 1994" that car production was recognized as a national industry, along with the entire automotive sector. This, in turn, has led not only to an increase in the number of car factories, but also to a deterioration of the air in the country. This, of course, had an additional negative impact on people's lives, forcing them to leave the city to live in cleaner areas.

Authors: Krymchak Liudmyla , Harbusiuk Valeriy , Romaniuk Inna
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes the need to improve the mechanism of safety-oriented management of health care facilities in the context of decentralization of public administration. It is established that the system of safety-oriented management is a certain organizational process of formation and implementation of the necessary measures to ensure the effective functioning of the entity in the presence of systemic problems in the field of health care. The main goal of safety-oriented management is to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the medical institution and provide the population with quality and affordable medical services. The study found that the functioning of the health care system is not effective due to the existing differences in the organization of medical services in urban and rural areas. It is determined that the improvement of the mechanism of safety-oriented management of health care facilities should take place at three levels: at the managerial and organizational level, at the information and communication level, at the level of logistics. At each of the proposed levels, specific measures have been identified, the implementation of which will ensure the achievement of the main goal of safety-oriented management of health care facilities. In addition, the article proposes the formation of a conceptual model for improving the mechanism of safety-oriented management of health care facilities. It is determined that the main elements of this model are: the system as a whole, the resources of the health care institution, the process of providing medical services, the results of the institution and the consequences of the health institution.

Published: July 2022

It is important for enterprises to have a high level of investment potential. As an economic category, scientists began to investigate investment potential relatively recently. That is why the issue of investment potential management is quite relevant. The purpose of the article is to systematize approaches of determining the essence and features of the investment potential of food industry enterprises.

The work systematizes approaches of determining the essence of investment potential. Approaches of determining the essence of investment potential are summarized. It was determined that the investment potential is considered as a component of the economic potential, which, in addition to the investment potential, includes financial, production, personnel, innovation, intellectual, scientific and technical potential. Factors affecting the level of investment potential in terms of external and internal factors were studied. According to the objectivity of the occurrence and influence on the investment potential of the enterprise, objective, objectively - subjective and subjective factors are distinguished. Investment potential is defined as a set of financial resources of the enterprise and the possibility of achieving strategic development goals through the realization of the possibilities of mobilizing internal and external investment funds through the investment mechanism.

The state of management of the investment potential of food industry enterprises is analyzed using the example of PrJSC "Vinnytsia Kharchosmakova Factory". The analysis of the investment potential of PJSC "Vinnytsia Kharchosmakova Factory" for 2018-2020 was carried out. It was based on indicators of profitability, business activity, financial stability and liquidity. The conducted analysis showed that PJSC "Vinnytsia Kharchosmakova Factory" has a significant level of investment potential, as the company is profitable, has an appropriate level of business activity, is financially stable and liquid.
Prospects for the formation of legal (judicial) doctrines: the experience of the USA and the possibilities of reception
Authors: Latypova Natalia S.
Published: July 2022

The current realities of the rapid development of technology and the social relations that are becoming more complicated in this regard require the formation of new forms and types of legal regulation. At the same time, it is fair to consider the quantitative criterion of accepted legal norms as an ineffective way to eliminate the uncertainty of law. In turn, the practice of using legal doctrines as a source of law in the Anglo-Saxon legal system for several centuries has shown its effectiveness in regulating relations that remain outside the legal space, while taking into account both legal tradition, doctrinal interpretations of legal scholars, and established judicial practice. In the study, the author suggests the formation of sectoral legal doctrines by analogy with the experience of using similar institutions in the United States of America as a perspective for the development of Russian legal science and practice. For this purpose, the features of the institute of legal doctrines in the USA are considered. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion about the possibility of successful extrapolation of this institute. At the same time, it is emphasized that the process of forming sectoral legal doctrines should consist in collecting empirical material, monitoring data on the operation of regulatory legal acts and the results of scientific activity. However, as a result of this time-consuming process, doctrines will become a tool that allows determining the proper legal regulation of rapidly changing public relations, without waiting for the result of a long law-making process and will be a help for both legislators and law enforcement officers.
Digital information as an object of civil and commercial turnover at the present stage
Authors: Laptev Vasily A.
Published: July 2022

The transformation of modern society as a result of the introduction of digital technologies required a rethinking of the essence of the legal category “object of law”, traditional for domestic jurisprudence. Thanks to the technologies under consideration, the centuries-old understanding of the object of law as a “value” that has a physical substance has changed dramatically. Along with the objects of the material world, social relations are formed about the objects of the digital space and the virtual world, which has long been predicted by physicists and engineers, and subsequently began to be actively studied by economists and jurists. This article analyzes the essence of digital information at the present stage, its place in the system of other objects of law. The conditions for its recognition as an object of law are determined. The cases of erroneous identification of a number of mathematical or digital algorithms with objects of law are divided. The classification is given and the signs of digital information, which is an object of law, are investigated. The characteristics of certain types of digital objects of law are given, in particular, Big Data, accounts, web archives, virtual property, digital twins and others. The ways of development of domestic legislation in the field of the legal regime of digital information are proposed.

The TAO CI ontology of vases of the Ming and Qing dynasties
Authors: Wei Tong , Roche Christophe , Papadopoulou Maria , Jia Yangli
Published: July 2022

The advent of the Semantic Web and Linked Data initiative has contributed to new perspectives and opportunities regarding cultural heritage conservation. Museums have extensive collections of Chinese ceramic vases in China. Although some data sources have been digitized, the vision of cultural heritage institutions is not only to display objects and simple descriptions (drawn from metadata), but also to allow for understanding relationships between objects (created by semantically interrelated metadata). The key to achieving this goal is to utilize the technologies of the Semantic Web, whose core is Ontology. The focus of this paper is to describe the construction of the TAO CI (“ceramics” in Chinese) ontology and terminology of the domain of ceramic vases of the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. The theoretical framework relies on the notion of essential characteristics. This notion is compliant with the ISO principles on Terminology (ISO 1087 and 704), according to which a concept is defined as a combination of essential characteristics, and with the Aristotelian definition in terms of genus and differentia. This approach is intuitive for domain experts and requires identifying essential characteristics, combining them into concepts, and translating the result into a Semantic Web language. This article proposes an approach based on a morphological analysis of the Chinese terms for vases to identify essential characteristics and a term-guided method for defining concepts. Such a term-and-characteristic guided approach makes ontology engineering less dependent on formal languages and does not require a background in Description Logics. The research presented in this article aims to publish the resulting structured data on the Semantic Web for the use of anybody interested, including museums hosting collections of these vessels, and enrich existing domain ontology building methodologies. To our knowledge, there are no comprehensive ontologies for Chinese ceramic vases. TAO CI ontology remedies this gap and provides a reference for ontology building in other domains of Chinese cultural heritage. The TAO CI ontology is openly accessible here: http://www.dh.ketrc.com/otcontainer/data/otc.owl.
Improving physical health monitoring and interventions in a learning disabilities forensic psychiatric secure service
Authors: Landin Madeleine , Palmer Charlotte , Paul Nadine , Shahrjerdi Puneh
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

Patients in psychiatric inpatient settings are at increased risk of developing physical health complications due to the structure of inpatient wards, the metabolic side-effects of antipsychotic medications and socioeconomic factors. Robust physical health monitoring and interventions are paramount in reducing this health inequality.

OBJECTIVE:

To improve the quality of physical health interventions in the ward environment and empower patients to follow healthy lifestyle guidance to reduce their risk of metabolic syndrome.

METHODS:

Patient weight and waist circumference data were collected at baseline and weekly throughout the 8-week intervention period. A questionnaire was recorded from baseline to week-5 to assess patient understanding. Two Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were completed: (1) Series of weekly psychoeducation sessions and group exercise and (2) Implementation of healthy living diaries.

RESULTS:

Our data did not demonstrate any definitive impact upon the waist circumference and weight of participants. However, analysis of the questionnaires showed a consistent trend in knowledge improvement.

CONCLUSION:

Whilst our aim of reducing patient weight and waist circumference was not realised, there was a significant impact on participant’s knowledge, demonstrating a subjective benefit of our interventions. Our project also highlighted inconsistencies in physical health measurements and data collection, providing vital information for further quality improvement measures.
Improving the documentation of chaperones during intimate examinations in a surgical admissions unit: A four-stage approach
Authors: Politis Anna , Cook Hannah , Cohen Hugo M.L. , Pullyblank Anne
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

The General Medical Council (GMC) states that all intimate examinations should have a chaperone offered. Documentation of chaperone identity, or patient’s refusal, is essential.

OBJECTIVE:

This project aimed to improve documentation of chaperones during intimate examination of patients based in a Surgical Admissions Unit (SAU) within a large tertiary hospital in the Southwest of the UK.

METHODS:

A Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle structure was used. Initial data collection and planning occurred in December 2019. Intervention implementation and analysis occurred from January 2020 to March 2021. Intervention 1 involved presenting results at a clinical governance meeting. Intervention 2 was information posters in the SAU and intervention 3 involved training sessions for nursing staff. Intervention 4 was editing the surgical clerking proforma.

RESULTS:

Prior to interventions, chaperone identity or patient’s refusal was correctly documented only 9.7% ( N = 7 out of 72) of the time. Intervention 1 increased this to 34.6%. Following interventions 3 and 4, correct documentation was 25.0% and 28.6% respectively. After intervention 4 correct documentation was at 59.1%.

CONCLUSIONS:

Initial documentation of chaperones was poor. Interventions 1 to 3 were successful in educating clinicians how to document accurately, but engaging individuals in person was more successful than passive education through posters. Changing the proforma structure was the most successful intervention. This suggests a visual reminder for clinicians at the point of contact with the patient is the most effective way to encourage correct documentation of chaperones, improving patient care and clinical practice.
The use of digital solutions in alleviating the burden of IAPT’s waiting times
Authors: Jayaraajan Keerthanaa , Sivananthan Ahrabbey , Koomson Abeku , Ahmad Aznavar , Haque Mohammed , Hussain Mohammod
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

Previous reports have shown that there are long waiting times to commence therapy in the community-based mental health programme, IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies).

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to explore both causes and potential solutions to alleviate the burden of these waits.

METHODS:

A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Semi-Structured Interviews (SSIs) were conducted to identify causes and effects of these waits. Consequently, meaningful recommendations were made and tested with the aim of improving IAPT’s waiting times.

RESULTS:

SLR and SSIs revealed high ‘Did Not Attend’ (DNA) rates and a lack of support between initial appointments as being both a cause and effect of long waits. The identified issues were tackled with the development of an app design. Expert interviews and a mass survey fuelled the iterative process leading to a final prototype. Notable features included: therapist profile page, smart appointment reminders and patient timeline. Positive feedback was received from university students and ICS Digital, with scope to trial the app within Manchester CCG.

CONCLUSIONS:

In the long run, the app aims to indirectly shorten waiting times by addressing treatment expectations and serving as an IAPT companion along the patient journey, thus reducing anxiety and consequently DNAs.
Classification of lung nodules based on the DCA-Xception network
Authors: Li Dongjie , Yuan Shanliang , Yao Gang
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Developing deep learning networks to classify between benign and malignant lung nodules usually requires many samples. Due to the precious nature of medical samples, it is difficult to obtain many samples. OBJECTIVE: To investigate and test a DCA-Xception network combined with a new data enhancement method to improve performance of lung nodule classification. METHODS: First, the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) with conditions and five data enhancement methods such as flipping, rotating, and adding Gaussian noise are used to extend the samples to solve the problems of unbalanced sample classification and the insufficient samples. Then, a DCA-Xception network is designed to classify lung nodules. Using this network, information around the target is obtained by introducing an adaptive dual-channel feature extraction module, and the network learns features more accurately by introducing a convolutional attention module. The network is trained and validated using 274 lung nodules (154 benign and 120 malignant) and tested using 52 lung nodules (23 benign and 29 malignant). RESULTS: The experiments show that the network has an accuracy of 83.46% and an AUC of 0.929. The features extracted using this network achieve an accuracy of 85.24% on the K-nearest neighbor and random forest classifiers. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that the DCA-Xception network yields higher performance in classification of lung nodules than the performance using the classical classification networks as well as pre-trained networks.
Possible Description of the J/Ψ Λ Structure at 4338.2 MeV in Terms of a First-Order Pentaquark Mass Formula
Authors: Bevelacqua Joseph
Published: July 2022

A Recently proposed Jπ = 1/2¯, J/Ψ Λ (PΛΨs) pentaquark structure at 4338.2 MeV/c2 is investigated using a first-order mass formula. This mass relationship is based on weakly bound meson plus baryon clusters, and provides a reasonable prediction (within about 1%) of the proposed pentaquark mass. The first order mass formula model predicts possible Jπ = 1/2¯ and 3/2¯ assignments for the PΛΨs.

مانرید أن نشیر الیه فی هذا البحث التحري والمتابعة حول حقيقة: (صلب عيسى)  عليه السلام. عل صلب حقاً؟ أم لا؟ ولتبيان هذه الحقيقة نعتمد فقط على المصادر الرأيسية من القرآن الكريم والكتاب المقدس، ونقارن فيما بينهم، ونبحث ونحقق من المسألة بموضوعية وحيادية وعلمية، حتى نصل الى حقيقة الأمر. الصلب عند المسيحيين رمز النجاة وواحد من أهم خصائص هذا الدين وهي رمز الآلام والمحن والمغفرة من الله للناس .

والدين المسيحي من الديانات أكثر تداولاً بين الناس في هذا العصر وهو دين أكثرية الناس، من أهم إعتقاداتهم يعتقدون بأن عيسى (عليه السلام) هو ابن الله أرسله الله الى الأرض لكي يصلب ويمحوا الخطيئة التي ارتكبها أبو البشرية آدم (عليه السلام) في الجنة، هذا الإعتقاد المسيحيون الذي أشار اليه في الكتاب المقدس.

ولكن هذا الإعتقاد تحدث عنه القرآن الكريم بخلاف ذلك، بأن عيسى (عليه السلام) لم يصلب ولم يقتل ولم يكن ابن الله ولم أرسله الله لهذا كما يقولون، وقد نجاه الله من أيدي الخائينين ورفعه اليه ولم يصلب ولكن شبه لهم وصلب شخصاً آخر بدلا من عيسى (عليه السلام).

Authors: Olodude Ibukunolu Isaac
Published: July 2022

Translation is aimed at reproducing a given text from one source language to another. In view of the importance of the concept of translation, various theories and strategies have been developed in literature to facilitate the activities involved in the translation of texts, either interlingual or intralingual. However, there are cases when the translation of a text is either intentionally or unintentionally manipulated to achieve certain intended or unintended purposes. This essay examines cases of manipulated translations of texts within a language and from one language to the other. The data for the study were some selected humorous translations obtained from the social media (WhatsApp and Twitter precisely). The posts, eleven in number, were tagged with the title ‘Translation 101’ and contained sentences in English language which were humorously translated some into the standard Yorùbá language and others into the Ibadan dialect of the Yorùbá language. The humorous translations could be said to be a play on words which is based on the pronunciation similarities of the normal translations in the Yorùbá language and some words, phrases and names in English and other languages. The theory of choice for the study is the Manipulation Theory adopted by a group of scholars known as the ‘Manipulation School’ (Hermans, 1985). The analysis of the data revealed cases where the translations of the texts were intentionally manipulated to elicit humor for the audience. It concludes that humorous translations are often used by comedians who intentionally manipulate the translations of certain texts for the purpose of comedy.
