57 Using in situ Simulation to Respond to Critical Incidents in Emergency Medicine
Authors: Matson Andrew , Holmes Catherine , Mulqueen Clare , Thompson Demi
Published: January 2022

simulation (ISS) has been shown to be an effective tool in delivering education to the inter-professional team in the Emergency Department (ED)

The aim of the study was o describe how simulation has improved learning and development from critical incidents.

A simulated case is built around specific clinical incidents. Four were identified having occurred within the timeframe: missed abdominal aortic aneurysm, ischaemic limb, digoxin toxicity and ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The aim is to use ISS as a tool to educate colleagues about these presentations and as a way of checking that there are no system issues in managing such cases. Our ISS process involves either an ‘actor’ or a low-fidelity manikin with an ‘app’ providing a monitor. All equipment is sought and used in real time to attempt to simulate as close to real life as possible. The scenario utilizes junior doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, trainee nurse associates and students. A senior team member is included if required. The participants are both briefed and debriefed, and learning points are disseminated via email placed on the ‘MYED’ Facebook group as well as the ‘MYEDSim’ ‘padlet’ page.

The ISS was run between October 2020 and May 2021. A total of 23 participants answered the nine questions on the post-ISS feedback form from the four incidents. Results are summarized in Figure 1. The participants were asked to record learning points from the sessions and suggestions for improvement. Key themes appear to be communication, team working and location of equipment in the department.

By running simulations of critical incidents, we have identified deficiencies in areas within individual’s knowledge, factors shaping inter-professional team working and system failings from the wider trust which contribute to these events. This has led to wide dissemination of learning and knowledge sharing on various departmental social media/communication platforms and has allowed development and modification of clinical guidance and pathways within Mid-Yorkshire NHS Trust to reduce risks of further incidents occurring.

Rad je rezultat izlova jedinki potočnog raka Austropotamobius torrentium iz Nahorevskog potoka u periodu od augusta 2006. do maja 2007. godine. Analiza je obuhvatila i fizičko/hemijske paramtere vode i sastav zoobentosa Nahorevskog potoka. Utvrđeno je da voda spada u kategoriju oligo/betamesosaprobnih ili II kategorije, čista sa manjom količinom alohtone organske materiije u vodotoku. Mjerenjem dužine potočnog raka (šest izlovljenih ženki i pet mužjaka), utvrđeno je da ona varira od 4,5 do 7 cm kod ženke i 1,54 do 7 cm kod mužjaka. Statističkom obradom utvrđeno je da najviše varira težina, a najstabilniji karakter je dužina tijela. Izračunata vrijednost Fulton´s Conditions Factor (RICKER, 1975) i Crayfish Constant, (ADEGBOYE, 1981) ukazuje da je mužjak u boljem kondicionom stanju, što je i rezultat dosadašnjih istraživanja u Evropi. Doprinos rada je utvrđivanje habitata ili staništa potočnog ili raka kamenjara na prostorima Bosne i Hercegovine, koji je 1994. godine uvršten u IUCN listu za prostor naše države.

Postoji rastuća potreba za izgradnju novih šumskih puteva i moderniziranje postojeće mreže puteva u šumskim gazdinstvima (šumarstvu) Bosne i Hercegovine. Mostovi na šumskim putevima su, prema troškovima izgradnje i tehničkim karakteritikama, najznačajnije strukture na šumskim putevima. Istraživanja na terenu potvrđuju da je veliki broj mostova napravljenih od drvne građe i čelika još uvijek u upotrebi na šumskim putevima Bosne i Hercegovine. Većina tih mostova su ipak u lošem stanju, katkad čak zatvorena za saobraćaj ili posve uklonjeni. Ovaj rad uspoređuje konstrukcije od drvne građe za kratko premošćenje, čelične i mostove od armiranog betona, koji se najčešće grade na šumskim putevima u Bosni i Hercegovini, uključujući kompozitne mostove ili jednostavne strukturalne sisteme, koji su prikladni za izgradnju mostova za kratko premošćenje na šumskim putevima. Prikazani rezultati pokazuju značajne prednosti u usporedbi s kompozitnim strukturama od drvne građe, čelika i betonskih mostova. Osim navedenog, mostovske konstrukcije predstavljaju optimalno rješenje prilikom proticaja velikih voda, kakav je slučaj kod bujičnih tokova.

Mnogi investitori iz raznih razloga nisu u mogućnosti dobiti i koristiti bankarske kredite pa se nalaze pred složenim problemom, kako realizirati željenu investiciju bilo u cijelosti ili završiti, zbog nedostatka investicijskih sredstva. U takvoj situaciji stoji im na raspolaganju leasing aranžman, koji će brzo i efikasno riješiti problem. Leasing usluga temelji se na: brzom rješenju zahtjeva, jednostavnosti procedura obrazaca, jednostavnim garancijama otplate kredita, dogovaranju o roku otplate, visokoj vjerovatnoći za dobijanje odobrenja finansiranja te kvalitetu usluga i poslovnosti.

Cilj ovog rada je da ukaže da pri nabavci opreme u šumarstvu, kao i u drugim djelatnostima, strateški je povoljnije koristiti leasing aranžman nego bankarski kredit. Leasing usluga omogućava nabavku opreme u šumarstvu i na taj način povećava investicione aktivnosti kako u šumarstvu tako i u drugim djelatnostima u BiH.

Za dokazivanje postavljene teorije koristit će se primarna istraživanja kod korisnika leasing usluga. Naučnom analizom utvrdiće se dosadašnje zadovoljstvo klijenata u poslovanju sa bankama i leasing kompanijama. Na temelju ovoga rada pojedine leasing kompanije mogu aplikativno primijeniti na naučnoj osnovi prikupljene podatke, na povećanju obima prodaje svojih usluga, a time i poboljšanja svojih rezultata i ciljeva poslovanja.

A simple and inexpensive method for the determination of inorganic As(III) and As(V) at low ppb levels was developed. The method is based on formation of hydride from a sample solution and its reaction with mercury bromide on a solid support. Formation of a yellow-brownish product was optically detected.

Amidosulfonic acid was used as a reaction medium for determination of total inorganic arsenic, while citrate buffer (0.1 mol/dm3, pH=5.5) was used as a reaction media for determination of As(III) alone. As(V) was calculated as a difference of total inorganic arsenic and As(III).

This method has been applied to soil extracts. Extraction of inorganic arsenic from soil samples was done in three-step sequential extraction with the following extractants: NH4H2PO4 (0.05 mol/dm3); NH4-oxalate buffer (0.2 mol/dm3, pH=3.25); and mixture of NH4-oxalate buffer (0.2 mol/dm3) and ascorbic acid (0.1 mol/dm3) at pH=3.25. The method was suitable for determination of inorganic arsenic species in soil extracts covering concentration range of the analyte between 0.2 - 20 ppb.

Last decades permanent researches clarify possibilities for forest resource estimation based on terrestrial measurement and remote sensing. The most often the non- parametrical k-NN method is used integrating local estimates from terrestrial measurement and spectral Landsat data. In this paper the weighting functions of the k- NN related to value differences and distances were examined in a case of high forest in site Konjuh in Bosnia. It is found that weighting Euclidean distance has not resulted with efficiency increase. Procentual RMSE's of growing stock showed higher values for weighted estimates on the pixel level. Classified volume estimates on aggregated level compared with volumes from intensive regular forest inventory achieved moderate level of agreement. The agreements between volume estimates are almost perfect regardless on weighting functions. Obtained results point out unweighted estimates as reported in several cases.

According to FAO, the total forest area in Bosnia-Herzegovina amounts 2.709.769 ha or 53,4% of overall state territory. While the total area of private forests is 523.437 ha, private forest ownership is characterized by huge number of small-scale and fragmented individual estates. The aim of this research is to examine how the groups of private forest owners can be created with different clustering methods, regarding different criteria. The data presented in this paper are obtained from PRIFORT project (Research into the Organizations of Private Forest Owners Associations in the Western Balkan Region). Results show that private forest owners in Bosnia- Herzegovina can be grouped in three clusters by using different clustering methods, based on criteria defined in advance. Significant differences in willingness of private forest owners (PFO) to join to their interest associations are noticed for identified clusters. From forest policy aspect, the clusters gathering homogenous groups of private forest owners should be treated by different policy instruments (regulatory, economical or informational) in order to ensure better contribution of private forests to overall economical, ecological and social outcomes expected from forests as the most important natural resources in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

This paper deals with the morphological variability of beech leaves (Fagus sylvatica L.) of various provenances in part of its natural range in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of the study was to determine whether beech leaves of various provenances in Bosnia and Herzegovina demonstrate morphological variability, and whether the morphology of beech leaves is an inherited characteristic or is influenced by the habitat conditions of a given provenance.

Following an examination of the morphological characteristics of the beech leaves of each provenance, both intra-provenance and inter-provenance variability of certain leaf characteristics was identified, among both naturally regenerated specimens and seedlings raised from seed from the same provenance.

As regards heredity and morphological leaf characteristics, no correlation was identified between the morphology of leaves of specific provenance and the equivalent nursery-raised seedlings. This suggests that the majority of the morphological parameters of beech leaves are not inherited, and that beech in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a fairly variable and adaptive species.

Seedlings are produced by implementation of technical-technological procedures at specially prepared area which we call nurseries. With produced seedlings is additionally completed natural restoration of forests, forestation of bare lands, and plantations are established, melioration of degraded forest and brush-wood is conducted, eroded lands are repaired, etc. In the actual Registry of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are registered 11 nurseries which produce forest and horticultural seedlings. In their production program dominant are three conifer tree species: Norway spruce (Picea abies), Scots pine (Pinus silvestris) and Black pine (Pinus nigra). Seedlings of broadleaves tree species in total production participate with only 2%.

In nurseries is implemented the concept of integral protection of plants in the form of program which is consisted of combination of agrotechnical, mechanical, physical, biological and chemical measures. Chemical measures are based on the use of pesticides in integral protection of plants. Pesticides are organic and non-organic chemical compounds, as well as the products of living organisms which are used in agriculture and forestry for prevention of occurrence, control and suppression of caused of plant diseases, pest and weed, as well as for protection of agricultural and food products.

Main goal of this research was to identify the quantity indicators of use of pesticides in production of seedlings of forest trees in forest nurseries in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research has covered three nurseries in Zenica-Doboj Canton and three nurseries in Central-Bosnia Canton. The research is related to the period from 2007 to 2011.

This work primarily aims to capture and analyze selected new bridge stone structures in the image of the cultural landscape, which occurred in the Ottoman period in the territory of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina,

These bridge structures, regardless of whether they were located directly or connecting routes to the said Roman route, as well as functional - structural miniature sizes or stylish - the aesthetic imbalance have the role specified to fill that void in Bosnia and Herzegovina which is felt in the knowledge of development of those types of buildings.

An analysis of the historical development of bridges leads us in history where we can clearly recognize, on what is based, the maximum utilitarianism bridges in general.

Through presented examples we confirm the universality of the object that without certain stylistic affiliation, which were built by hands and knowledge of local builders, however, do not disturb the landscape, but on the contrary, they complement each other, and create a special harmony of space.

Silver Fir in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the important coniferous species of trees in term of forestry and biodiversity. Numerous harmful factors have the impact to its health and vitality. One of them is different damages of standing trees by machinery. These injuries represent suitable entering openings for microorganisms which afterwards cause decay of the wood. Wood affected by this process has a decreased quality or it becomes completely unusable. Infection and development of decay are in correlation with the size of the injuries and its position on the tree. In recent times the methods of analysis of decay based on the flow of electric energy or sound through the wood were developed. One of these methods is the sound tomography which gives us the possibility to review the condition of the tree without the need to cut it or damage it significantly. It is performed by the device called tomograph. In this paper, by the method of tomography, the presence of signs of decay of wood on injured trees of Silver Fir was identified.

The aim of this research was to evaluate estimates of the current annual increment of volume (CAIv) variability considering growing stock (V) as structural variable and topographic conditions and Landsat 8 spectral response as environmental variables on hilly and mountainous mixed forests in the northeast Bosnia using multiple linear regressions based on ordinary least squares (MLR) and geographically weighted regression (GWR).

Sample data contains geo-referenced forest inventory data, CAIv (m3/ha/year) and V (m3/ha), extracted values from digital terrain model (altitude, slope and aspect) and derived principal components values from Landsat 8 satellite image for forest stands of the management unit located on hilly and mountain positions in protected area Konjuh, Kladanj. Here are applied MLR and GWR using stepwise procedure. MLR and GWR analyses resulted with global coefficients of significant predictors on hilly position. This was expected due to homogenous vegetation and environmental conditions on hilly position. It was found that growing stock affected CAIv the most. Significant improvement of regression modeling is achieved by GWR appliance on sample from mountainous position. There were obtained local influence of growing stock and the first principle component related to green biomass on CAIv. The highest improvement is found for broadleaves CAIv where quantification of local variability of growing stock increased adjusted coefficient of determination about 11% and reduced relative root mean square error for 6%. Local character of green biomass related to conifers CAIv did not improve regression estimation significantly. The broadleaves root mean square error based on GWR was 1.60 m3/ha/year (coefficient of variation more than 30%) which is still high so further modeling including other structural characteristics (stems number, basal area, mixture) as predictors is required.

In the spring and summer season of 2014, the change in the number of coliform and heterotrophic bacteria in specific localities of lake Bistarac and lake Vidara were observed and analyzed. Lake Bistarac was formed after the cessation of surface mining in the open pit, while lake Vidara is the artificial lake in the area of Gradacac made in order to protect the industrial zone of flooding. Both of these lakes, placed in Tuzla Canton, are very attractive for tourist and frequently are used for swimming, fishing and recreation. Results of this study showed an increased number of coliform bacteria in both periods, and the presence of Escherichia coli as a direct indicator of fecal pollution, while, as an additional indicator of fecal pollution, Citrobacter and Enterobacter were identified. From the total number of analyzed water samples of the lake Bistarac, 60% of samples belonged into to the second class, and 40% into the first class of water quality. Lake Vidara showed poor quality as the 80% of the analysed samples belonged to the second class and only 20% into the first class of water quality. For the microbiological assessment of the water quality standard microbiological procedures and methods were used. One of the main reasons for poor hygienic state of these two lakes is unregulated sewage network of the villages, restaurants and camping areas placed near the lakes. The increased number of fecal bacteria was found in the water of both lakes, which can be highly dangerous for the human population. Since both lakes are used for recreational purposes it is necessary to establish an appropriate monitoring system on the basis of which is possible to take measures and to protect and improve water quality.

The forest truck roads, as one of the essential conditions for implementation of the planned biotechnical measures in the management unit, have to have an adequate quantity and quality. The aim of this research is determination of quantity and quality of the forest truck roads in the Management Unit (MU) „Gornja Rakitnica“, Forest Management Region (FMR) „Trnovsko“. The accessibility through wider categories of forest and total accessibility for MU have been calculated by the analysis of quantities indicators of the primary network of roads. The accessibility of the most important category of forests, from economy aspect, has been calculated – the forests with natural renewal. This accessibility amounts 12,7 m/ha. By the comparison of the values with the recommended minimum and optimum accessibility, it has been calculated that it is necessary to construct new forest truck roads. The data about quality have been obtained on the basis of terrain measurements in two forest truck roads „Rakitnica-Zućina vrela“ and „Pijevac – Borovac“. By the analysis of qualitative indicators in the analyzed roads it has been concluded that the network of forest truck roads in the MU „Gornja Rakitnica“ is passable i.e. it enables implementation of planned activities from all forest fields. The technical elements of the measured roads enable the values defined by technical regulations. The constructive elements: carriageway condition, slope cuttings, ditches and objects on the road are not in an adequate condition. If the adequate recovery works are not undertaken it could cause progressive deterioration of roads, which could influence functionality of roads transport of timber, access to compartments, etc… For the improvement of the condition of forest truck roads, the measures of recovery have been designed and the calculation of total and average costs has been carried out.

In the paper is conducted comparison of the wheel slip of the two different skidders in the equal conditions of extraction (equal loads and slopes of the tractor road and skid trail). The first skidder in the research is ECOTRAC 120 V of the Croatian manufacturer Hittner d.o.o. with the mechanical transmission and the other skidder is of the Slovenian manufacture WOODY 110 with the hydrostatic transmission.                                                                                                                                                                   

Wheel slip of the skidder during the research is determined on the basis of the number of wheel rotations. Distance travelled is calculated from the multiplied number of rotations of the fifth wheel and its circumference.

During the extraction downhill, the wheel slip is negative. Generally, it could be said that, in the same conditions during the extraction uphill, wheel slip is increased with the increase of load weight and during the extraction downhill are less negative values of slip with the increase of the load weight.                                                                                                                                                                  

By comparing the wheel slip at the researched skidders are established the advantages of the hydrostatic mechanic transmission during the wood extraction uphill. But, during the extraction downhill, with the mechanic transmission are achieved less wheel slips.

The aim of this study was to determine the total concentrations of some phenolic compounds and antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts of different parts of Illyrian endemic Petteria ramentacea. Concentrations of phenolic compounds were determined with UV/VIS spectrophotometry. The antioxidant activity of plant extracts was determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Antimicrobial activity of extracts was evaluated by measuring the inhibition's zone against six selected test bacteria and two fungi. The highest average total phenols concentrations were in seeds (10.78 mg GAE g-1 DW), root (10.51 mg GAE g-1 DW) and bark (10.40 mg GAE g-1 DW), and the lowest in inflorescences (2.99 mg GAE g-1 DW) and leaves (3.12 mg GAE g g-1 DW). The total flavonoids concentrations were determined only in leaves (8.25 mg CE g-1 DW) and in stem (5.66 mg CE g-1 DW). Both flavanols and proanthocyanidins (0.75 mg CE g-1 DW and 3.49 mg CE g-1 DW, respectively) were found only in leaves. Analysis of variance indicated presence of significant differences between total phenols and flavanols concentrations (p<0.05), and Duncan's test confirmed the presence of intraspecies variability according to their concentrations. The highest antioxidant activity (IC50) was observed for the seed's extract (6.86%) and the lowest for the bark’s (51.31%). All methanol extracts showed the most pronounced antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermididis, and the lowest against S. aureus subsp. aureus. Antifungal activity against Candida albicans was moderate. Since Peteria ramentacea methanol extracts are potential natural antioxidant and antimicrobial preparations against selected microorganisms, it is necessary to continue with more detailed analysis.

The success of the afforestation works (ecological and biological compatibility, economic success, etc.) depends on the use of seeds of known origin or quality seedlings. For this reason, it is important to determine seed characteristics and to eliminate dormancy. In this study, it was aimed to determine the germination characteristics of seeds of Calligonumpolygonoides L. collected from Iğdır and KoelreuteriapaniculataLaxm. obtained from Trabzon. In order to eliminate the dormancy for Calligonumpolygonoides, 11 different pretreatments including control, cold water (1-2 days), hot water (10-15 min), gibberellic acid (GA3 1000 ppm, GA3 3000 ppm), sulfuric acid (H2SO4, 5-10 min), 5 min with H2SO4 + 20 min with GA3 1000 ppm and 10 min with H2SO4 + 20 min with GA3 3000 ppm were applied. The highest germination percentage was obtained as 50% in sulfuric acid (5 min) pretreatment, while the lowest germination percentage was obtained as 3.33% in control pretreatment. In hot water pretreatments, germination didn't occur. In order to eliminate the dormancy for Koelreuteriapaniculata, pretreatments including control, cold water (1 day), hot water (10 min), GA3 1000 ppm, GA3 3000 ppm, H2SO4 5-10 min, 5 min with H2SO4 + 20 min with GA3 1000 ppm and 10 min with H2SO4 + 20 min with GA3 3000 ppm were applied. While the lowest germination percentage occurred as 73.33% in H2SO4 (10 min) pretreatment, the highest germination percentage took place as 93.33% in 10 min with H2SO4 + 20 min with GA3 3000 ppm and cold water (1 day) pretreatments.

This document includes research in regeneration of fir in differently structured stands of beech and fir forests (with spruce) on mountain Bjelašnica near Sarajevo. Analysis of fir regeneration in differently structured stands was done by comparison of numbers of units of young fir, per growth category, and by total number of young fir at canopy density degree of 0.7 (0.60 – 0.79) and 0.9 (0.80 – 1.00), and by mixture ratio – share of fir (spruce) 0.7 (60 – 79 %) and 0.9 (80 – 100 %). Comparisons were done between virgin forest stands of beech and fir (with spruce) on ‘Ravnavala’, than, two-storied stand where we recorded transition of tree species (beech is dominant in upper growth, while fir is mainly dominant in young growth) on location ‘Medvjeđalokva’ and stands of typical uneven aged production forest of beech and fir (with spruce) in direct vicinity of virgin forest stand. Data gathering was done using total measurement method on permanent experimental plots of 1ha in virgin forest stand and two-storied stand on location ‘Medvjeđalokva’ and on circular plots in diameter of 12.62 m. Positions of circular experimental plots were determined by systematic sample in form of grid on intersections of Gauss-Krueger system, in intervals of 100 meters. Grid is laid in three transects of 27 plots each that is spread across forest compartments number: 111, 113, 114 and 115 of Management unit „Igman“, location ‘Ravnavala’. We have placed two experimental square plots of 1ha; one in virgin forest reservation ‘Ravnavala’ for preservation of assortment, status without human impact (compartment 106, MU „Igman“), and the other in management forest of this area “Medvjeđalokva” (compartment 117, MU „Igman”) for specific structure of assortment. Square 1ha plots were divided by grid of squares 10 x 10 m into 100 small plots.
Contribución de las universidades argentinas públicas al logro del ODS sobre la igualdad de género y empoderamiento de las mujeres y las niñas (2015-2019)
Authors: Solans Mariana Laura
Published: January 2022

El presente artículo explora desde una perspectiva analítica y crítica las contribuciones de las universidades argentinas públicas al logro del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) sobre la igualdad de género y empoderamiento de las mujeres y las niñas, y a la meta de eliminar todas las formas de discriminación y violencia en contra de ellas. Para ello, se hace referencia al proceso de incorporación de las mujeres en el ámbito de la Educación Superior en Argentina y a los obstáculos planteados en el reconocimiento de sus derechos; así como al desarrollo temprano de las ideas feministas y su vinculación con la vida universitaria. Estos elementos son significativos para mostrar las características del impulso dado a partir de 2015 y desde abajo hacia arriba, mediante la labor de las feministas y movimientos de mujeres, al logro de este Objetivo por parte de las universidades. Sin embargo, dichos procesos y aportes no fueron suficientemente reconocidos en el campo de las políticas públicas contenidas en la materia y en el período de referencia.

Published: January 2022

Este artículo tiene como finalidad presentar una primera exploración de las políticas de producción de conocimiento promovidas por la Universidad de la República (Udelar, Uruguay) en el campo de la educación superior, en particular, de la enseñanza universitaria. El foco de estudio lo constituyen: las políticas centrales y descentralizadas de formación de recursos humanos altamente calificados (tesis de maestrías y doctorados en educación superior); las políticas centrales de estímulo a la investigación sobre la enseñanza universitaria (convocatorias institucionales a proyectos concursables). El análisis se plantea desde un marco conceptual amplio relativo al estudio de la educación superior, los procesos de institucionalización de las disciplinas y el papel de los posgrados. Se realiza un primer abordaje comparativo de los principales instrumentos de políticas aplicados durante los años 2010-2019 en diferentes dimensiones y categorías de análisis. Aún con un desarrollo tardío, las políticas institucionales muestran resultados de investigación significativos, primordialmente orientados a la construcción del campo de la pedagogía universitaria, con un abordaje diversificado en temáticas, origen disciplinar y adscripción institucional de los investigadores. El diseño de una multiestrategia de herramientas políticas centrales ha permitido enriquecer y maximizar la producción de conocimiento en enseñanza universitaria, habilitando la emergencia de un proceso de disciplinarización del campo.
Urgency and Mechanism of Biosynthesis of Marine Microbial Secondary Metabolites
Authors: Edward Amado
Published: January 2022

Marine microorganism is one of biologically active potential resources of secondary metabolites. Its potency are so promising that the knowledge of how its secondary metabolite occured need to be studied and collected. Those knowledges will enable further study is improving secondary metabolite production in the laboratory. In nature, secondary metabolites synthesis occur when there are effect of both biotic and abiotic factors such as sea water and microbe symbiosis with other living materials. When this is explained in metabolic pathways, secondary metabolite synthesis affected by available nutrient and regulated by autoinducer molecules through quorum sensing mechanism
Translating Euphemisms of Sexual Taboos in the Qur’an: A Trans-Linguistic Approach
Authors: Taghian Muhammad
Published: January 2022

Translating the Qur'an is an extremely challenging task because of the special nature and the distinctive style of the Book. The Qur'an has some unique characteristics that may hinder translators from rendering the intentional Qur'anic stylistic deviation, ambiguity, metonymy, and many other figurative images as well as euphemism and its intended meaning into English with high accuracy. This study tackles euphemism and dysphemism in religious discourse, namely the Qur'an. It is a trans-linguistic study that delves into the problems of translating euphemism and dysphemism in three translations of the meanings of the Qur'an. The study thoroughly examines and analyses nine Qur’anic verses of illegal sexual relations, i.e., adultery and lesbianism. The study finds that translators, especially of holy texts, should merge domestication and foreignization according to the skopos (i.e., purpose) of the translation. The impact of conveying euphemism adequately or inadequately seems to be identical for both Ali and Ghali, but it is discrepant in Pickthall, which indicates that the translators' background plays a pivotal role to render euphemism adequately into the TL culture.

Published: January 2022

The study was conducted in Gombora District, South nation national people regional state, Ethiopia to identify major beekeeping constraints and opportunities. Structured questionnaire was employed for the study. The study used interviews, surveys and visual observation as methods in looking for answer to research questions. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were employed to select 180 beekeepers from two Peasants Association. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20. The result of the study exposed that the average amount of honey harvested /hive/year from traditional hive, transitional hive and modern hive were 8.22±0.042, 13.83±1.05 and 18.2±2.52 respectively. The mean yield obtained from the three hives were statistically significant at (p < 0.05).The most factors influencing honey pricing in the study area were distance from market( 38%), quality of honey (20%), consumers‟ preference (20%), color (10%), and test of honey (12%).The major constraints to beekeeping activity in the study area were: high cost of modern hives with accessories (1st), shortage of bee forage (2nd), pests and predators (6rd, poising of bee colonies (4th), low quality of honey product (5th) and poor infrastructure development (3th). Regardless of the constraints encountered this sub sector; there are also future opportunities for beekeeping development in the District. These include; presence of huge number of bee colonies, progressively increasing the demand of local honey, presence of beekeepers association and presence of good government policy. The study exposed that the price of honey in the study area is influenced by quality of honey, color, consumers‟ preference, distance from market and test of honey. Extra study is required to evaluation of honey quality in study area; characterize honey beekeeping practice in the study area and major pests, predators and disease of economic importance.
