Authors: Shahovsky Viktor Ivanovich
Published: January 2020

The place and significance of the works of Prof. A.P. Skovorodnikov in the dynamic formation of linguoecology is considered. The place of emotive linguoecology in it is shown. The responsibility of journalists for the formation of ecological psychological environment of society is emphasized. Allocated is the role of unecological createms in the information space. Formulated is the importance of a large number of problems highlighted by this science as the subject of its research. Named are the leading linguoecological schools and publications (printed and online). Indicated is the semiotic nature of many linguoecological situations and facts. Raised is the question of the importance of increasingly emerging linguoecological dictionaries. recorded are the results of new knowledge achieved by this science on the relationship of language, communicative practice and their ecology. Mentioned is the place of informational wars, as a result of which a negative ecological syndrome of modern both intra-and intercultural relations is formed. Particularly concerned in this work are the increasingly mentioned facts of the influence of media ecology on language consciousness and communicative personality transformation, from homo sapiens through the stage of homo sentiens into homo confusus. The natural conclusion of the whole article is the thesis that the foundation of many provisions of linguoecology, developed by different scientists within this interparadigmal area, founded by Prof. A.P. Skovorodnikov.
National-cultural specificity in interlanguage parallels (on the material of idioms of Russian, Spanish and English languages)
Authors: Titarenko Natalia Vladimirovna
Published: January 2020

The article considers the national-cultural specificity in the comparison of idioms of different languages, analyzes the translation of culturally significant information in the interlanguage phraseological parallels. The appearance in different languages of idioms with a common meaning, with a similar structure and component composition is an infrequent phenomenon caused by many factors. The national-cultural marking of units representing such a parallel can be expressed not only semantically, but also in the fact of its acceptance by the given society, and therefore by the language system, of this unit as significant, reflecting relevant axiological attitudes, worldview positions, life experience. The article gives examples of interlanguage phraseological parallels of Russian, Spanish and English languages of different types, analyzes images they based on, structural features and national-cultural specificity in the variety of expressions. The fact that different languages have units with full parallelism does not deprive them of their national and cultural identity, but contributes to a more complete understanding of the linguistic sign in its entirety: both as linguistic and as extralinguistic.

Authors: Chuvakin Alexei Andreevich , Urazayeva Kuralay  Bibitalyevna
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to the textbook on rhetoric published at Altai State University. Two key points determined the main subject of consideration they are orientation toward the graduate students of philology and their preparation for professional activities in a multi-ethnic environment. The need for a book is justified by the features of the socio-communicative situation in the countries of Greater Altai. The authors' attention is focused on issues of general and professional rhetorical, theoretical and practical training of graduate students of philology, their mastery of communicative and rhetorical competencies as well as the development of research skills.
It is shown that the content of the textbook, reading-book and case-studies contributes to theformation of the academic and educational competencies of graduate students in the field of rhetoric, the development of independent work skills and also improvement of verbal (rhetorical) practice; that the formation of knowledge in the field of Kazakh national rhetoric requires an understanding of the priority over the speecheloquence, the concept of speech relevance, or conscious “speaking”.
Orientation of graduate philologists to the work in a multi-ethnic environment reveals the importance of interculturalal communication, understanding the specifics of interpersonal relations between the speaker and the listener. In the field of higher education didactics, the research prospects are due to the improvement of the rhetorical culture of the teacher’s personality and his role as a person providing successful group communication.
Label functions in communicative portrait policy (based on modern print media)
Authors: Nakhimova Elena   Anatolyevna , Ruzhentseva Natalya Borisovna
Published: January 2020

The article presents a study of the stylistic figure of chiasm in media and scientific speech. The generalized views of researchers on this element of style, mainly poetic speech. An understanding of chiasm is formulated, which emphasizes the need to take into account the identity of the lexical composition of the parts of the chiastic construction, which significantly narrows the range of facts related to chiasm, and the main semantic effect of this figure is the mirroriness of the connected parts. Cases of using chiastic constructions in the heading position (VIRTUAL REALITY AND REAL VIRTUALITY) and in the media text (Yevgeny Yevtushenko was the most Russian poet from Westerners and the most western of Russian poets) are considered. It is shown that the stylistic effect in the first case is intriguing, in the second-an expressive assessment. Cases of using chiasm in the media text are analyzed from the standpoint of semantic syntax; it has been revealed that elements of propositions — actants, predicates, and the position as a whole — are involved in chiasm. Attention is drawn to the fact that chiastic constructions, formally representing a complex sentence, are not polypositive structures, because in them one proposition is fixed in two reflections (We need to kill free time, or it will kill us). The importance of describing chiasm among the expressive means of media stylistics and the style of scientific speech is emphasized.

The History of Taras Shevchenko’s Photographs: Unity of Words and Pictures (to the 180th Anniversary of Photo Art)
Authors: Horevalov Serhii
Published: January 2020

The article describes the value of photo art in the fate of T. H. Shevchenko – a cult figure of Ukraine. T. H. Shevchenko’s self-portraits are the works of art and simultaneously the artistic documents of the poet.

The copies of T. H. Shevchenko’ self-portraits presented to his friends became so-called “Shevchenko Photo Fest” in 1858. The photos of T. H. Shevchenko made an impression on the outstanding creative people of the country and abroad, in particular the outstanding women of that time (M. Vovchok and others). Each of his photographs contains not only historical information about the life of Kobzar, but also plays a greater role in development of photo art in Ukraine. Moreover, it deals with outstanding people of photo art and their photo works. Also it is particularly interesting to note the history of preservation of T. H. Shevchenko’s photographs in Ukraine and other countries.
Functional Features of Anlicisms in the Modern Ukrainian Socio-Political Magazines (Based on the Weekly «Ukrainskyi Tyzhden»/«Ukrainian Week» and «Krayina»/«Country»)
Authors: Moroz Yuliia
Published: January 2020

The main objective of the study is to analyze functional features of borrowings from the English language in the texts of journalistic style (on the example of the magazines «Ukrayinskyi Tyzhden»/«Ukrainian Week» and «Krayina»/«Country». In the process of the study, the following methods have been applied: the method of scientific description and observation, the essence of which consists in inventory and systematization, classification and interpretation of linguistic units, which makes it possible to establish the corpus of the analyzed Anglicism; the contextualsituational analysis of discourse used to study the features of functional characteristics of language units in the media text; the method of quantitative calculation, which is used to identify the relative frequency of using Anglicism in the research material. Despite a significant number of works of Ukrainian and foreign researchers devoted to the problems of usage of Anglicism in the language of the press, the features of their classification and functioning in the Ukrainian language in general, and the language of journalism in particular, have not received due scientific coverage, which determines the relevance of the scientific research. In the present study Anglicism is understood as a kind of borrowing; a word, its separate meaning, an expression, etc., borrowed from the English or translated from it or formed according to its pattern. Anglicisms are predominantly recognized by speakers as an alien element and retain the features of their origin. The analysis of the texts of «Ukrayinskyi Tyzhden»/«Ukrainian Week» has manifested that the magazine contains 75 anglicisms – 18% of all foreign words in the magazine. The magazine «Krayina»/«Country» uses 30 Anglicisms, or 14.5% of all borrowings. Anglicisms that are used on the pages of the analyzed magazines refer to the three main thematic spheres: «Person», «Artifacts», and «Environment».

Published: January 2020

The article deals with the notion of a business model of digital media explored by the scholars. The objective of the study is to explore the concept of a business model of digital media in scientific understanding. The main tasks of the study proceed from its objective and topic which are the following: 1) to analyze the approaches to definition and content of the concept of a business model; 2) to outline the scholar ideas and views on existence and essence of media business models; 3) to highlight the possible types of business models of digital media that have proven themselves in practice and are characterized in authoritative scientific research; 4) to investigate implementation of certain business models in the concrete cases of foreign and Ukrainian media. To achieve the aforementioned tasks of the article, the certain methodologies are used. It is the general methods of analysis and synthesis for holistic understanding and evaluation of facts, a bibliographic method for investigation of all available relevant works by reputable scholars who were involved with the issues close to the topic of the article. We use both diachronic and synchronous methods for simultaneous analysis of business models of digital media in chronological and modern (actual) dimensions. Exploring the notion of a business model, the elements of a system method for getting the systematic results and capturing the whole set of connections of the object with other phenomena is used. On the stage of analysis of an existing media business model, the case study and the elements of a content analysis are used.

As a result of the research it is proved that there are numerous types of business media, which are broadly used in the whole world. Despite many Ukrainian media are still using a traditional business model or are still owned by oligarchs, many digital media use actively the new perspective models. It is most often different versions of the paywall model (Krytyka), crowd funding (Hromdaske TV), a model of public television (UBC:UA), sale of joint products (it is most often collectibles) etc.

To summarize the foregoing all media that care about their image, development and profitability, seek for themselves for a right business model and change it if necessary.

Targeting the Warburg effect to overcome lapatinib resistance in esophageal adenocarcinoma
Authors: Holmes Samantha , Hassan, MD Sazzad , Makuru Victoria , Von Holzen Urs von Holzen
Published: January 2020

Background: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) overexpresses HER2. Lapatinib, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor blocking HER1 and HER2 pathways failed to improve patient survival. Molecular mechanisms of this lapatinib resistance are still unclear. We therefore explored the role of glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a key regulator of the Warburg effect in the lapatinib resistance mechanism of EAC cells.
Methods: First we established a lapatinibresistant OE19 (LPR-OE19) cell line from OE19 EAC cells. We then investigated the comparative cell growth inhibition, apoptotic and lactate production effects of HER2 inhibitor lapatinib and PKM2 inhibitor shikonin either alone or in combinations, both in OE19 and LPR-OE19 cells with and without knockdown of PKM2 and HSP40 by siRNAs.
Results: Lapatinib resistant LPR-OE19 cells showed downregulation of HSP40 both at protein and mRNA levels, but showed upregulation of PKM2 only at the protein level. LPR-OE19 cells showed significantly reduced sensitivity to lapatinib induced cell growth inhibition, apoptosis and decreased cell migration compared to parent OE19 cells. Interestingly, augmented cell growth inhibition, apoptosis and decreased cell migration were observed in LPR-OE19 cells compared to parent OE19 cells when lapatinib was combined with shikonin. Knockdown of PKM2 in LPR-OE19 cells abolished the reduced sensitivity of lapatinib induced cell growth inhibition, and also abolished augmented cell growth inhibition response when lapatinib and shikonin were combined. Contrary to that, knockdown of HSP40 in OE19 cells enhanced PKM2 expression leading to significantly reduced sensitivity to lapatinib induced growth inhibition with augmented growth inhibition when lapatinib and shikonin were combined. Moreover, LPR-OE19 cells showed enhanced lactate production compared to parent OE19. Interestingly, PKM2 and HSP40 co-localize with each other in the cell nucleus suggesting that PKM2 binds to molecular chaperone HSP40.
Conclusions: These data suggest that targeting HSP40PKM2 interaction could be an innovative therapeutic approach to overcome lapatinib resistance in EAC.

Background: Neonatal mortality rate (NMR) is one of the major contributors to infant mortality rate. The neonatal mortality depends on many factors birth weight, gestational age, post-natal care; it also depends on maternal social and environmental conditions which contribute to the social determinants of maternal health. This study was taken up to identify maternal social determinants contributing to outcome among outborn neonates in order to reduce neonatal deaths. The present was conducted to assess the outcome among the outborn neonates and assess the maternal social determinants of health affecting the outcome.Methods: A cross sectional study conducted in sick newborn care units (SNCU), Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hassan among all out born neonates. After taking prior written consent, all mothers/bystanders of outborn neonates were interviewed using predesigned, pretested semi-structured proforma. Social factors, environmental conditions and antenatal care affecting the maternal health were collected. Neonatal outcome data was collected from SNCU register. The mothers/bystanders of outborn neonates not willing to give consent and re-admitted neonates were excluded from the study. Data analysis was done using SPSS V20.0.Results: Of 353 outborn neonates admitted, 16.1% was mortality rate. Number of antenatal care visits, consumption of iron tablets, gestational age, high risk mother, staff attending delivery, birth weight, referral time (at p≤0.5) and distance from hospital, passive smoking exposure, maternal services utilization (at p-value <0.1) were significantly associated with poor outcome among outborn neonates.Conclusions: There is need for establishment of SNCUs at sub-divisional levels.

Komponent leksykalny w nauczaniu rosyjskiej komunikacji biznesowej
Authors: Wideł-Ignaszczak Małgorzata
Published: January 2020

W artykule podjęto zagadnienie znaczenia komponentu leksykalnego w nauczaniu rosyjskiej komunikacji biznesowej. Podkreślono, że nieodzownym elementem aktu komunikacji biznesowej jest temat, który określa treść komunikatu językowego i wpływa przede wszystkim na dobór leksyki. Znaczenie leksyki jako komponentu nauczania języka obcego zmienia się w zależności od celów nauczania. W niniejszym artykule omawiana jest sytuacja, gdzie podstawowym celem nauki jest umiejętność skutecznego porozumiewania się, rozwój zawodowej kompetencji komunikacyjnej, w której znajomość słownictwa odgrywa wiodącą rolę. Udowodniono, że umiejętność przekazu informacji specjalistycznej jest najmocniej uzależniona od poziomu opanowania słownictwa. Braki na poziomie leksyki najbardziej uszkadzają, a nawet blokują przekaz. Blokada komunikacji to najczęściej skutek nieznajomości adekwatnego sytuacyjnie słownictwa. Wynika stąd konieczność konsekwentnego prowadzenia badań w zakresie doboru treści leksykalnych odpowiednich do poszczególnych poziomów biegłości językowej oraz skutecznych metod wprowadzania i utrwalania nowego słownictwa. W artykule scharakteryzowano leksykę rosyjskiego subjęzyka biznesu, omówiono najczęstsze techniki wprowadzania, powtarzania i utrwalania leksyki ekonomicznej na poziomie studiów filologicznych.

Elektroniczna obecność w nauczaniu języka angielskiego jako międzynarodowego – wspomaganie procesu kształcenia nauczycieli zadaniami tele-współpracy

Wobec wielu badań empirycznych i publikacji praktycznych poświęconych definiowaniu i rozwijaniu kompetencji interkulturowej i interkulturowej kompetencji komunikacyjnej uczniów, dużo mniej badań dotyczyło kompetencji, umiejętności i postaw nauczyciela niezbędnych dla prowadzenia procesu glottodydaktycznego z uwzględnieniem różnic kulturowych uczniów w klasach wielojęzycznych i wielokulturowych (por. Farrell i Martin 2009; Krajka 2010; Wysocka 2013). Uwzględnienie globalnego wymiaru nauczania języka obcego stało się koniecznością we współczesnej edukacji językowej, a umiejętne wykorzystanie elementu współpracy zapośredniczonej przez Internet (telecollaboration) pozwala na nadanie bardziej autentycznego wymiaru kształceniu językowemu.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie możliwości zastosowania wybranego formatu zadań realizowanych we współpracy zapośredniczonej przez Internet, ‘elektronicznej obecności’ (electronic appearances) w procesie rozwijania umiejętności nauczania języka angielskiego jako języka międzynarodowego (Teaching English as an International Language – TEIL) na neofilologicznych studiach magisterskich.

Published: January 2020

Life skills are proven to be able to improve human civilization.  Improving literacy culture is one way to develop human life skills.  The National Literacy Movement/ Gerakan Literasi Nasional (GLN) initiated by the government is an effort to realize it.  SDIT Salsabila 2 Klaseman has a Class Literacy Movement/ Gerakan Literasi Kelas (GLK) program.  The limited space available is not a reason to discourage GLK.  This type of research was case study field research.  The institution studied was SDIT Salsabila 2 Klaseman.  The subjects consisted teachers, principals, students and parents.  Data was obtained by observation, interviews and documentation steps.  Analysis was performed by using data reduction techniques, data display, triangulation, and conclusion drawing/verification.  The data showed that the main purpose of GLK was to intensify the culture of school literacy, library revitalization, and maintain the stability of school library functions.  The technical implementation is by creating a class library in each class, fostering a sense of belonging to the class library, supplying books from the school library to the class library, providing educational playgrounds in the area of the class library, giving rewards for students who are diligent in reading, achievements are informed in public, and explore the student guardian support. The problems that arise are the lack of teacher exemplariness, lack of consistency, supply of books from school libraries is still small, and the system of re-education has not been orderly.
Immunoaffinity purification of juvenile hormone-binding protein from Galleria mellonella hemolymph.
Authors: Wieczorek E , Parkitna J M , Szkudlarek J , Ozyhar A , Kochman M
Published: January 2020

Previously described methods of purification of hemolymph juvenile hormone-binding protein (hJHBP) from Lepidoptera were tedious and required multiple steps. These methods resulted in low protein yield (Kramer et al., 1976; Goodman et al., 1978; Peterson et al., 1982; Park et al., 1993; Ozyhar & Kochman, 1987). In this report a simple method of purification of hJHBP from Galleria mellonella (L.) larvae is described. Monoclonal antibodies against hJHBP were obtained and crosslinked to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. The hemolymph of G. mellonella was centrifuged and then chromatographed on Sephadex G-200 gel filtration column. Juvenile-hormone-binding activity containing material from Sephadex G-200 column was subjected to purification on an immunoaffinity column. Bound protein was eluted from anti-hJHBP Sepharose 4B gel by lowering pH to 3.0 with 200 mM citric acid 200 mM Na2HPO4 buffer. This method resulted in 320-fold purification of G. mellonella hJHBP with 56% yield.
Peroxynitrite: mediator of the toxic action of nitric oxide.
Authors: Bartosz G
Published: January 2020

Peroxynitrite (oxoperoxonitrate(-1)), anion of peroxynitrous acid, is thought to mediate the toxic action of nitric oxide and superoxide anion. Peroxynitrite is formed in a fast reaction between these species, reacts with all classes of biomolecules, is cytotoxic, and is thought to be involved in many pathological phenomena. Its main reactions involve one- and two-electron oxidation and nitration. Protein nitration is often used as a footprint of peroxynitrite reactions in vivo. Nitration of tyrosine and of tyrosyl residues in proteins may be an important mechanism of derangement of biochemical signal transduction by this compound. However, apparently beneficial effects of peroxynitrite have also been described, among them formation of nitric oxide and nitric oxide donors in reactions of peroxynitrite with thiols and alcohols.
Generation of superoxide anion and induction of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in bean leaves infected with pathogenic fungi.
Authors: Urbanek H , Gajewska E , Karwowska R , Wielanek M
Published: January 2020

Generation of superoxide anion (O2-.) and peroxidase activity were significantly increased in bean leaves infected with incompatible and compatible pathogens: Botrytis fabae and Botrytis cinerea, respectively, but the induction was greater on direct inoculation with B. fabae, than with B. cinerea. A slightly higher O2-. level was also detected in the parts of leaves surrounding the inoculation side. Overproduction of O2-. was observed earlier than the increase in peroxidase activity. Pretreatment of the leaves with methyl jasmonate enhanced both O2-. production and peroxidase activity following inoculation with B. cinerea. Induction of superoxide dismutase activity after the infection was less pronounced than changes in O2-. level. The differences in the rate of NADH oxidation in the extracts from control and inoculated leaves, correlated with the differences in the rate of O2-. production. The results indicate that O2-. level is one of the essential factors responsible for the difference in the interactions between bean plant and compatible and incompatible pathogens.

Authors: Gohari Motlagh Mohammad , Ghiyasi Samira , Soltanzadeh Ahmad
Published: January 2020

Background: One of the most important factors in crisis management is the location of a muster point to reduce vulnerability. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of designated sites for muster point during a crisis in one of the districts of Tehran. Methods: This study was conducted in a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study in 2018 using a researcher-made questionnaire. The assessed areas in this study included (1) the adequacy of the number of muster points, (2) parameters affecting muster points, (3) the use of the GIS in crisis management, (4) solutions affecting the reduction of damages, (5) attention to safety of muster points and (6) crisis management. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 and independent t-test. Significance level was considered as 0.05. Results: 80 crisis management experts participated in this study (63 males and 17 females). The mean age and experience of the participants were less than 40 and 15 years. The results of assessing the effeciency of the muster points in 6 studied areas showed that the highest value was related to the use of the GIS in crisis management 3.88(0.65), effective parameters on muster points 3.78(0.75) and the safety of the muster points 3.74(0.69). In addition, the analytical findings showed a significant difference with the criterion value (p <0.001).

Purpose: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging technique based on the recording of two photons as coincidence created by positron annihilation.
Materials and Methods: PET coincidence events include true and unwanted coincidences (random, scattered, multiple coincidences). We modeled the Discovery 690 (D-690) PET scanner using the GATE simulation tool and estimated the effect of the diameter of the scattering medium out of the Axial Field Of View (AFOV) on the random coincidence rates.
Results: The validation results indicated that the average difference between simulated and measured data for sensitivity and scatter fraction tests are 5% and 3%, respectively. Moreover, the results revealed that the increasing diameter of the scattering medium out of the AFOV has a direct effect on the random coincidence rates within the Field Of View (FOV).
Conclusion: The study concluded that the presence of a scattering medium near the FOV increases the rate of random coincidences.

Background and Objectives: B2 and D have been mentioned as the most common phylogenetic groups among uropatho- genic Escherichia coli. However, there is still controversy about the importance of these phylo-groups. This study was con- ducted to investigate the probable relation between these groups and antibiotic resistance patterns of E. coli isolates derived from urine and feces of the patients with acute or recurrent UTI.
Materials and Methods: 10 isolates were recovered from urine and feces samples of patients with different phases of UTI in whom E. coli was causative pathogen. Biochemical fingerprinting was performed to classify the isolates and select their appropriate representatives. Phylogenetic grouping was performed using multiplex PCR, and antibiotic resistance was deter- mined by disk diffusion method.
Results: Five-hundred-sixty E. coli isolates were derived from 56 UTI patients (27 acute, 29 recurrent). Among them, 261 isolates were selected using biochemical fingerprinting. All the isolates were sensitive to imipenem and nitrofurantoin. Com- pared to other phylo-groups, the isolates in group D showed considerably different frequencies in acute vs. recurrent phase of UTI, in urine vs. stool samples, in males vs. females, and in- vs. out-patients. They were more resistant to the antibiotics (except norfloxacin), and in contrast to others, this was seen more in acute UTI, especially in urine samples. Multi-drug resistance pattern was also meaningfully higher in group D.
Conclusion: Although phylo-groups B2 and D of E. coli bacteria are more responsible for UTI, group D isolates seem to be more resistant and probably more virulent, even than the ones from group B2.

Background and Objectives: The association between bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnant women is at a greater risk comparatively than patients with bacterial vaginosis or UTI. Bacterial vaginosis and asymptomatic UTI both pose risk for  mother and fetus. Early diagnosis and treatment can save the life of both. The present investigation was aimed to find out the magnitude of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women with noticeable bacterial vaginitis at- tending antenatal outpatient and inpatient of a tertiary care hospital and to identify the organisms causing it.
Materials and Methods: A total of 117 antenatal women from different age and parity groups with different gestational ages were included in the study. The samples were subjected to standard microbiological techniques for identification of micro- organisms. While performing Per speculum examination, vaginal secretions were collected from the posterior fornix. Swabs from the posterior fornix were tested for pH using litmus paper. A wet mount and Gram smear was made and examined for the presence of bacteria, polymorphs and clue cells indicating bacterial vaginosis. Amsel’s criteria and Nugent scoring sys- tem were applied for diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated bacteria was performed using Kirby-Bauer method.
Results: Bacterial vaginosis infection rate (62.3%) was common in the present study followed by asymptomatic UTI (n=60,
51%). It was also observed that asymptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) with Bacterial vaginosis prevalent rate was 49 (41.8%) in the current study.
Conclusion: Bacterial vaginosis was more common than asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women. It is recommended that antenatal health care facilities should incorporate screening of vaginitis among pregnant women to prevent the complica- tions of pregnancy. And those women with Bacterial vaginosis should be screened for UTI. Proper use of antibiotics should be encouraged, abuse of antibiotics should be in check.

Published: January 2020

Background and Objectives: Food in healthcare settings are complementary to medical treatment, hence it should be produced
in good sanitary conditions. In fact, hospitalized and immune-compromised patients are more likely to have foodborne
infections than the rest of the community. The aim of our study is to evaluate the microbiological quality of food contact
surfaces in a hospital kitchen in Morocco.
Materials and Methods: A total of 238 samples was collected from kitchen surfaces and analyzed for total aerobic mesophilic
bacteria (AMC), Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus aureus count and the presence of Salmonella spp., Pseudomonas
spp. and Listeria monocytogenes.
Results: The bacteriological analysis shows that the highest rates of compliance with good hygienic conditions were obtained
in baking worktops (77%) and serving meal worktops (50%) and the vegetables cutting boards (45.83%). In contrary,
some surfaces show a low level of compliance, such as the raw meat cutting boards (96%). The isolated bacteria were S. aureus,
coagulase-negative staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Serratia odorifera, Raoultela ornithiaolytica
and Pseudomonas aeroguinosa.
Conclusion: The actual results indicate that the high levels of bacterial counts on kitchen surfaces, presents an evident need
to improve the hygienic process and adopt an HACCP system in this facility.

Published: January 2020

POME or palm oil mill effluent is wastewater from the production of palm oil, which is produced by the sterilization, clarification, and hydrocyclone processes. The POME contains high carbohydrates, lipids, and protein which can contaminate the environment if it is not handled properly. The carbohydrates, lipids, and protein contained in the POME are potential for biogas production through the fermentation process with indigenous bacteria. The research aimed to study the impact of degradation time to the production of biogas in the bioreactor using the indigenous bacteria, KP1.2 (Stenotrophomonas rhizophila strain e-p10) capability from palm oil mill effluent.   The fermentation process was carried out in the anaerobic bioreactor with ranges of degradation time from 3 to 38 days to produce biogas. The bacterial population was calculated using a haemacytometer in which the number of bacteria was calculated in the small cubicles with a microscope. Biogas was saved in Tedlar bag and the biogas content was analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC). The bacterial population increased along the fermentation period. The pH values range from 6.8 to 8.3. The highest bacterial population was 7.21 x 107 cells/mL and the lowest one was 3.15 x 107 cells/mL. The methane content, as well as, carbon dioxide content increased along the fermentation period. The highest methane content was obtained at 63.7 %moles and carbon dioxide was 22.5 %moles, while the lowest methane content was 33.5 %moles and carbon dioxide content was 19.5 %moles.

Authors: Mahayuddin Zainal Rasyid , Mamat Najmiah
Published: January 2020

The implementation of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in education has created an interesting approach to enhance the effectiveness and attractiveness of teaching and learning for students in real-life scenarios. This medium offers unique affordances, combining physical and virtual worlds, with continuous and implicit user control of the point of view and interactivity. This paper introduces the technology of augmented reality and its capabilities in facilitating children with autism. AR is a technology that overlays digital information on a live view of the physical world to create a blended experience. AR provides unique experiences and opportunities to learn and interact with information in the physical world. Hence, AR can be one of the effective technologies available in developing tools for teaching and learning with the combination of the virtual world and real objects such as transportation, fruits, numbers, and alphabets. This will facilitate the autistic child to recognize the abstract concepts of the real objects and their descriptions. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the use of AR on mobile devices in fostering literacy in academic and learning skills for children with autism using the phonics learning method. This prototype helps the autistic child to capture and associate the graphics or pictures of the surrounding objects so as improving the literacy and learning skills of the children. The results show that the children can pronounce and to distinguish between vowels “a”, “i” and “u”. The children are also able to answer most of the questions in the exercises provided. The interactivity between the children and the application raises their attention and focus mainly in literacy and learning skills.
