Authors: HİLVANO Tricia Mae , CAGASAN Ulysses
Published: April 2021

High yielding and pest resistant varieties are among the characteristics of the crops that the farmers are looking. This study aimed to evaluate, determine and assess the profitability of different mungbean genotypes planted during dry season cropping. An experimental area of 416.5 m2 was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with ten (10) treatments replicated 3 times. Each treatment plot had an area of 2.0 m x 5.0 m (10 m2) with four rows in each plot. The treatments designated as follows: T1 = EGM 98-419, T2 = LG Mg 28-6-0, T3 = LG Mg 28-6-1, T4 = LG Mg 28-7-1, T5 = Jade Green, T6 = EGM 98-391, T7 = EGM 05-738, T8 = EGM 05-744, T9 = NSIC Mg 17, and T10 = PAG- ASA 7. Results revealed that most of the agronomic characteristics of different mungbean genotypes were significantly affected by the different genotypes such as days from sowing to emergence, flowering, maturity and plant height (cm). The genotype EGM 98-419 (T1) emerge earlier compared to others while PAG-ASA 7 (T10) flowers early than the other treatments. On the other hand, EGM 98-391 (T6) was the early genotype to mature. However, highest plant height (cm) was obtained from the genotypes LG Mg 28-6-0 (T2), LG Mg 28-6-1 (T3), LG Mg 28-7-1 (T4) and Jade Green (T5). Likewise, number of pods per plant and seed yield were significantly affected by the different mungbean genotypes. Highest number of pods were observed from the genotype LG Mg 28-7-1 (T4) and also obtained the highest seed yield of 1.47t ha-1 compared to other genotypes. Highest gross margin of PhP 69622.00 was obtained from LG Mg 28-7-1 (T4) and obtained the highest grain yield. Pest response of all mungbean genotypes were highly resistant to insect pest and moderately resistant to diseases.

Audiovisual Translation
Authors: Nikolic Kristijan , Bywood Lindsay
Published: April 2021

The audiovisual translation (AVT) sector has undergone rapid changes in recent years. It would be uncontroversial to state that the various stakeholders: academics; freelancers; technology providers, and language service providers (LSP) are likely to hold diverse and interesting views about what the future holds and how they might be called upon to adapt to recent and future changes. We have conducted qualitative research with representatives of these stakeholders in an attempt to ascertain their concerns and also their predictions for the future. Our motivation was to discover where stakeholders see the sector in the next 10 years. The research was conducted in 2016 and 2018 during the Languages and Media conference on a sample of 160 experts from various sector stakeholder groups. The findings show a broad range of issues that can be summarised into three main themes: the status of the language service provider; the need for standards and metrics; and the importance of training.
 
Lay summary
Audiovisual translation, or media translation such as subtitling and dubbing, has changed a great deal in recent years. Professionals involved in the creation of translations for television and film, which includes the ever-more popular platforms such as Netflix, are likely to have differing views on what the future holds for their industry, especially given the rising volume of translations made by machine translation systems which are then edited by human translators. We have conducted research among professionals involved in the audiovisual translation production process at a conference that takes place in Berlin every two years:  Languages and the Media. This was an ideal place for such work since it attracts subtitlers, translators for dubbing, people who work in TV content translation, and trainers of media translators.  We were hoping to discover the views of a wide range of people about what might happen in the short to medium term in the industry. The research was conducted in 2016 and 2018 among 160 professionals, such as subtitlers and employees of streaming platforms. The findings reveal some issues connected to translating for the media and point to the need for measuring translation quality and investing more resources into media translation training.

The unabating environmental degradation from heavy consumption of fossil fuel and chemicals by the masses has compelled the potential use fullness of Jatropha plant to engender a sustainable environment. This study examined the relevance of farmers’ cultivation of Jatropha plant for sustainable environment in Lagelu community Oyo State. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 120 Jatropha farmers from 175 trained farmers in the study area. Data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that the majority (66.7%) were males, married (90%), possession of formal education (91.7%), and had various livelihood activities (86.7%). There was a significant association between the personal characteristics of the respondents and Jatropha cultivation for the sustainable environment. There was also a correlation between the cultivation management practices engaged by farmers and the relevance of farmers’ cultivation of Jatropha plant for the sustainable environment (r=0.453, p≤ 0.05). The study further revealed that there was a correlation of relevance of farmers’ cultivation of Jatropha for sustainable environment in the study area. Therefore, the government and non-government organizations should encourage the development and massive cultivation of Jatropha through awareness and provision of credit facilities for farmers to engender a sustainable environment.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF ENHANCED VIDEO ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM
Authors: Adenowo A.A. , Oderinu L.F.
Published: April 2021

The prevalence of internet, as well as low-cost mobile computing devices, makes video the preferred option for information archival and transmission. Also, the geometric growth in the generation and use of digital videos is massive and challenging to determine. Meanwhile, this growth has come with security and privacy issues such as unauthorized access, piracy, hacking and other digital attack every year. Restricting unauthorized access measure can be adopted to protect multimedia information, but does not guarantee the physical security of information. Cryptography which is a better and more secure approach is therefore required. Thus, this paper presents performance evaluation of Enhanced Novel Selective Video Encryption Algorithm, an AES-based video encryption algorithm. Properties of I frame are used randomly to generate the encryption key and a jump factor is used to determine which of the remaining P and B frame is selected for encryption. The results show that the more frames selected for encryption/decryption, the higher the encryption/decryption time and the higher the encrypted video size. Also, the PSNR value of this algorithm is around 40dB which indicates that the quality of the decrypted video is as high as that of the original video. The performance of this algorithm does not diminish with increase in size of video and number of frames. Hence, this algorithm is scalable, fast and highly secure for video encryption.

Published: April 2021

First, we propose three dimensional body-mind-spirit worlds on human society. Some observed results imply “ghosts” are probably the existences of some biological or non-biological objects. Any observations and detections on mind and spirit worlds and on relations between both and matter are all valuable. Next, we discuss social field. Third, human ecology and social ecology are researched. Fourth, we study energetics and the entropy ecology. Fifth, from the social “diseases” exist widely, if which continues to increase or spread, it will produce various social crises. Finally, we propose the Chinese cultural-social ecology, whose aim is human and nature are completely harmonious, and reach the highest state of the unity of nature and human. From this explore the way to resolve the human crises. Human decision-making will shape the future of our world.
The Alienation from Citizenship in Bosnia and Herzegovina: From Criticism of the Constitution to Actual Participation
Authors: Mujagić Nermina
Published: April 2021

Remaining true to the spirit and logic of the war-torn territories, the Dayton Peace Agreement highlights the interdependence of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s (B&H) 'local' problems with the wider region’s problems,  and indeed, global problems. 25 years after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, we have gained a democracy without a people, a democracy with MP’s defined by their ethnicity, who, at their discretion, interpret the will of the people and dispose of the mandate entrusted to them by their convictions. This paper aims to open up the question of whether the Dayton Constitution alienated B&H’s citizens from their political community. Pointing to the process of alienation from citizenship, which is, among other things, caused by a constitutional architecture that does not conceive of the citizen as an abstract category, the author focuses more on the conditions in which voters are denied real political participation. In theoretical terms, this participation would mean not only resistance to ethnonationalism, but also the creation of opportunities for citizens to unite and make political-strategic, and long-term decisions important for the future of B&H.
The Denial of Genocide in Srebrenica in the Context of Strengthening Neo-fascism and Relativization of the Holocaust in Europe
Authors: Šarić Sabahudin
Published: April 2021

The denial of the 1995 genocide against Bosniaks in the UN security zone of Srebrenica, has continued uninterrupted for 25 years. This denial has taken various forms and manifestations during that time; from denying the extent and character of crimes and the number of victims, to not accepting relevant court verdicts and especially, ignoring the consequences of genocide. As time passes, we are beginning to get the impression that an additional phase to the denial of the genocide in Srebrenica has emerged, in which, through the glorification of convicted war criminals and their affirmation in society, genocide is affirmed as an acceptable procedure and activity.

We believe that this 25-year period of persistent denial, and even celebration of the genocide in Srebrenica, largely corresponds to the strengthening of neo-fascist and right-wing ideas and movements in European countries, which has been accompanied by an increasingly louder denial and relativization of the Holocaust.

In this paper, we intend to analyze the connection between these phenomena, because we believe that the ideas pedaled by deniers of the genocide in Srebrenica, are significantly suited to strengthening the neo-fascism and Holocaust denial and are using this atmosphere to intensify genocide denial against Bosniaks and yet paradoxically, affirm the genocide, by glorifying the convicted war criminals and their ideas.
Is it justified to delay initiation of antibiotic treatment in patients who have had acute sinusitis for less than ten days?
Authors: Olukoga Moyosore
Published: April 2021

Acute rhinosinusitis, often referred to as sinusitis, is a condition where inflammation of the mucosal passage and paranasal sinuses lasts less than 12 weeks.1 The estimated prevalence of acute sinusitis is 6-15%.2 Historically, patients diagnosed with acute sinusitis were prescribed antibiotics, but at present the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)3 do not recommend antibiotic prescriptions for patients who have symptoms for less than ten days. Should the patient’s symptoms persist beyond ten days, then NICE recommends considering antibiotics. This critical review will explore current evidence to determine whether it is justified to delay initiation of antibiotic treatment in patients who have had acute sinusitis for less than ten days.

"Настоящая статья посвящена определению методологии когнитивно-лингвокультурологического исследования фразеологического пласта генетически отдалённых и разноструктурных языков. Подавляющее большинство современных лингвистических изысканий предпринимаются в целях описания соотношения языка и культуры. В этот круг научных интересов входит также изучение культурной составляющей фразеологических единиц. Изучение языковых явлений в рамках лингвокультурологического и антропоцентрического подходов неминуемо без фразеологии того или иного языка. Такое позиционирование многократно актуализирует выявление всеобщих и индивидуальных особенностей во фразеологии генетически отдалённых и разноструктурных языков, с последующим поиском на качественно новом уровне основных факторов, обусловливающих их идиоэтнические характеристики. Вместе с тем, установка когнитивного подхода при исследовании фразеологии позволяет глубже смотреть на дифференцированное мировосприятие и избирательную образную репрезентацию объективного мира разными лингвокультурными сообществами. При таком подходе необходимо особое внимание уделять основным методологическим установкам и методам исследования фразеологии разноструктурных и генетически отдалённых языков. В центре научного интереса настоящей статьи находятся возможности изучения взаимодействия языка, культуры и когниции в диапазоне фразеологии. В рамках одной статьи можно наметить основные методологические пунктиры такого изучения. "

Published: April 2021

Aim

To present a rare case of struma ovarii in a 46-year-old lady presenting with features pointing toward malignancy.

Background

Struma ovarii is a specialized or monodermal teratoma, which is predominantly composed of mature thyroid tissue. It accounts for less than 5% of all ovarian teratomas. It is mostly benign, and malignant changes are extremely rare. Most patients are asymptomatic or may present with mild signs and symptoms. Although the vast majority are benign, they may rarely present mimicking malignancy.

Case description

A 46-year-old lady presented with a large complex abdominopelvic mass with ascites and elevated CA-125 levels, thus arising suspicion of malignancy. Postoperatively, histopathology revealed a benign struma ovarii, which was further confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

Conclusion

Struma ovarii can imitate ovarian malignancy clinically, especially if it is complex and found in combination with ascites and an elevated CA-125 level. There is paucity of literature about such cases, and hence, it makes an accurate and timely diagnosis difficult.

Clinical significance

This case is one of the very few that provide a description of an atypical presentation of a rare tumor, struma ovarii. A high level of clinical suspicion may help with better preparedness before surgery and prevent extensive laparotomies in such patients.

Published: April 2021

The major goals of root canal treatment are to remove irritants from the root canal system, fill or obturate the cleaned and shaped system, and prevent future recontamination of sealed root canals. However, endodontic treatment is also dependent on having sound knowledge of the internal anatomy of human teeth, especially when anatomic variations are present, clinicians should carefully explore the pulpal floor, further by changing the X-ray projection angle to confirm the existence of variation and prevent the missed canals, all of which are necessary for a successful root canal therapy. These clinical case reports present the application of cone-beam computed tomography as a useful imaging technique in endodontics for the management of teeth with aberrant anatomy.

Introduction: Medium and low technology greenhouses use natural ventilation as a method of temperature and humidity control. However, at certain times of the year, this is insufficient to extract excess heat inside the greenhouse, so devices such as hydrophanes (humidifiers) have been implemented to reduce the temperature. It is necessary to know the behavior of temperature and humidity, since both factors influence the development of crops and, therefore, their yield. Objective: To develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a naturally ventilated zenithal greenhouse equipped with hydrophanes to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse. Methodology: The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse equipped with hydrophanes and grown with bell pepper. Temperature and humidity measurements were performed from March 7 to 25, 2014. The ANSYS Workbench program was used for the 3D CFD modeling. Results: The CFD model satisfactorily described the temperature and humidity distribution of the greenhouse, with an error of 0.11 to 3.43 °C for temperature, and 0.44 to 10.80 % for humidity. Limitations of the study: Numerical modeling using CFD is inadequate to model the temporality of the variables. Originality: There are few studies that model humidity behavior with CFD and the use of hydrophanes in Mexico. Conclusions: The CFD model allowed visualizing the distribution of temperature and air humidity inside the greenhouse.

Los trabajos y los días es una antología ─seleccionada por Jorge Fazenda Lourenço─ que ha resultado de un esfuerzo por registrar las diversas y prolíficas peregrinaciones literarias y culturales de Jorge de Sena (Lisboa, 1919-Santa Bárbara, California, 1978), "Los trabajos y los días" es el título de uno de sus poemas y también de esta selección de textos, porque cifra bien la dimensión épica y lírica de toda la obra de Sena. Incluye no sólo una sección bilingüe de poemas, sino también de cuentos y ensayos. A propósito, menciona Fazenda Lourenço en el prólogo: "En el terreno de los discursos y ensayos, las elecciones recayeron, mayoritareamente, en textos en que el poeta se presenta a sí mismo, en relación con el mundo y la literatura de su tiempo". La selección de los cuentos, dificilísima, buscó establecer un diálogo con aspectos importantes de la poesía: el testimonio como transmutación poética de una experiencia vivida, el erotismo, la centralidad de Camões en la vida y en la obra de Jorge de Sena, En lo que concierne a la poesía. busqué que sus ejes principales, antes mencionados ─erotismo y escatología, exilio y peregrinación, testimonio y lenguaje, humanidad divina y dignidad humana─, estuvieran representados. La poesía de Jorge de Sena es una poesía total, que toca y profundiza todos los géneros, en una especie de reactualización de la tradición poética y de toda la literatura ─entendida como un palimpsesto─ desde los tiempos de Gilgamesh al tiempo de los saberes y experiencias que con Jorge de Sena se construye. De cualquier modo. Como, dice en un verso de su poema "Espiral", incluido en esta antología: "Un solo poema basta para alcanzar la tierra".

Design of a Multidimensional Model Using Object Oriented Features in UML
Authors: Pahwa Payal , Taneja Shweta , Jain Shalini
Published: April 2021

A data warehouse is a single repository of data which includes data generated from various operational systems. Conceptual modeling is an important concept in the successful design of a data warehouse. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become a standard for object modeling during analysis and design steps of software system development. The paper proposes an object oriented approach to model the process of data warehouse design. The hierarchies of each data element can be explicitly defined, thus highlighting the data granularity. We propose a UML multidimensional model using various data sources based on UML schemas. We present a conceptual-level integration framework on diverse UML data sources on which OLAP operations can be performed. Our integration framework takes into account the benefits of UML (its concepts, relationships and extended features) which is more close to the real world and can model even the complex problems easily and accurately. Two steps are involved in our integration framework. The first one is to convert UML schemas into UML class diagrams. The second is to build a multidimensional model from the UML class diagrams. The white-paper focuses on the transformations used in the second step. We describe how to represent a multidimensional model using a UML star or snowflake diagram with the help of a case study.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted using a mixed research method including quantitative and qualitative data collection to investigate the cultural and linguistic practices of the Punjabi Sikhs in Kuching, Sarawak in East Malaysia. It was aimed to determine whether the community had integrated with the majority community/communities in Kuching and to what extend it has preserved its ethnic identity. Data were collected on the Punjabis use of language in the domains of family, workplace, and entertainment. Other social factors like eating habits, dressing, celebration of festivals, marriage preference, religious practices and self-identity were also examined. It was identified that the minority community of the Punjabi Sikhs in Kuching, Sarawak has a tendency towards maintaining a strong cultural vitality and uniqueness. The community shows a high degree of assimilating towards the use of English language, although they appear to be maintaining their core Punjabi cultural traits and practices. Kuching Punjabis may have lost a vital segment of their cultural enrichment in the form of language but they crucially hold positive perceptions about their ethno-cultural and ethno-linguistic identity. Thus contradicting the traditional cultural studies, which incline that not maintaining the language, can lead to losing the other aspects of culture.

Published: April 2021

This study is aimed at analyzing economic and social sustainability of rural settlements in the hazard â€“ prone zones. Accordingly, the present descriptive â€“ analytical study with emphasizing on its practical aspect is trying to identify high risk zones to locate the villages surrounding the Sanandaj City using Geography Information System (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In this regard, for zoning of hazard â€“ prone areas, information layers such as distance from the fault, gradient layer, height layer, distance from the river, landslide layer, and soil type layer were created utilizing the information existent in the database of GIS at Sanandaj Municipality. Finally, hazard â€“ prone zones were identified by applying the technique in ARCGIS10 and its practical functions and algorithms. In the next step, the layers of villages surrounding Sanandaj City were adapted to the prioritized zones and so the villages (Salavat Abad, Dolat Abad, Gazar Dareh, Khalijan, Issa Dar, Hassan Abad) which are located in hazard â€“ prone zoning, were identified. To assess the socio â€“ economic conditions of these villages are used FTOPSIS technique. The studied samples were two Councils members in each village which were selected randomly to survey and to achieve the goal of research. The results showed that economical aspect of the indicator (rural road networks), with ID = E5, and social aspect of the indicator (health facilities), with ID = E8 gained the lowest weights in the minimum, average and maximum fuzzy criterion, and also the indictor of rural power network and its backup services, with ID = E1, and taking care of villages with cultural and historical monuments gained the highest weights in the minimum, average and maximum fuzzy criterion.

La volition et l’agentivité transformatrice : perspective théorique de l’activité
Authors: Engeström Yrjö , Sannino Annalisa
Published: April 2021

Cet article traite de la formation de l’agentivité transformatrice au sein d’organisations, sous l’angle de la volonté et de l’action volontaire de la théorie de Vygotsky et du principe dialectique du mouvement ascendant de l’abstrait au concret comme point de départ. Le principe de la double stimulation de Vygotsky offre un cadre dans lequel les limites des conceptualisations de l’agentivité peuvent être outrepassées. Pour illustrer et examiner plus en détail une approche différente de l’agentivité, cet article discute d’une intervention de type laboratoire du changement menée dans une bibliothèque universitaire. L’analyse dépeint l’agentivité transformatrice comme étant une volonté collective d’engagement dans la résolution de conflits critiques avec l’aide d’artéfacts culturels comme médiateurs, caractérisant ainsi le second stimulus de Vygotsky. Dans le cas analysé, le second stimulus a été élaboré et mis en œuvre comme une abstraction théorique avec un potentiel de généralisation expansive permettant de multiples applications concrètes. L’analyse indique que pour servir de second stimulus et d’abstraction initiale, les participants doivent s’approprier les artéfacts comme instrumentalité pour résoudre leurs conflits et investir dans les initiatives agentives pour transformer leurs activités.
Les pratiques enseignantes de soutien : un travail de négociation du sens entre l’élève et l’enseignant
Authors: Koubeissy Rola , Malo Annie , Borges Cecilia
Published: April 2021

Dans cet article, nous cherchons à comprendre, à la lumière de l’approche vygotskienne, la coconstruction du sens du soutien auprès d’une élève immigrante récemment arrivée au Québec et ne maitrisant pas le français, langue d’enseignement, dans une école primaire. En nous appuyant sur des observations et en considérant le point de vue de l’enseignante et de son élève immigrante sur le soutien offert en classe, nous analysons comment elles négocient le sens du soutien lorsqu’elles sont en interaction. Nous cherchons ainsi à jeter un regard compréhensif sur la manière dont l’élève et l’enseignante s’ajustent, l’une par rapport à l’autre, au moment de soutien. Pour ce faire, nous nous référons, dans le même cadre de l’approche sociohistorico-culturelle, à la théorie de la médiation de Cole (1996) sur l’utilisation des outils par l’élève. Nous faisons appel également aux trois mécanismes de Wertsch (1984) sur l’action de l’enseignant dans la zone de développement proximal de l’élève. L’analyse d’une séquence de soutien qui s’est déroulée en classe ordinaire1 dans une tâche spécifique en mathématique met en évidence la difficulté de la négociation du sens du soutien entre l’élève et l’enseignante.
