Published: June 2020

© 2019 American Chemical Society. Pectic polysaccharides from New Zealand (NZ) spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) and karaka berries (Corynocarpus laevigatus) were extracted and analyzed. NZ spinach polysaccharides comprised mostly homogalacturonan (64.4%) and rhamnogalacturonan I (5.8%), with side chains of arabinan (8.1%), galactan (2.2%), and type II arabinogalactan (7.1%); karaka berry polysaccharides comprised homogalacturonan (21.8%) and rhamnogalacturonan I (10.0%), with greater proportions of side chains (arabinan, 15.6%; galactan, 23.8%; and type II arabinogalactan, 19.3%). Screening of gut commensal Bacteroides showed that six were able to grow on the NZ spinach extract, while five were able to grow on the karaka berry extract. Analysis of the polysaccharides remaining after fermentation, by size-exclusion chromatography and constituent sugar analysis, showed that the Bacteroides species that grew on these two substrates showed preferences for the different pectic polysaccharide types. Our data suggest that, to completely degrade and utilize the complex pectin structures found in plants, members of Bacteroides and other bowel bacteria work as metabolic consortia.

© 2019, International Society for Microbial Ecology. Pectin is abundant in modern day diets, as it comprises the middle lamellae and one-third of the dry carbohydrate weight of fruit and vegetable cell walls. Currently there is no specialized model organism for studying pectin fermentation in the human colon, as our collective understanding is informed by versatile glycan-degrading bacteria rather than by specialist pectin degraders. Here we show that the genome of Monoglobus pectinilyticus possesses a highly specialized glycobiome for pectin degradation, unique amongst Firmicutes known to be in the human gut. Its genome encodes a simple set of metabolic pathways relevant to pectin sugar utilization, and its predicted glycobiome comprises an unusual distribution of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) with numerous extracellular methyl/acetyl esterases and pectate lyases. We predict the M. pectinilyticus degradative process is facilitated by cell-surface S-layer homology (SLH) domain-containing proteins, which proteomics analysis shows are differentially expressed in response to pectin. Some of these abundant cell surface proteins of M. pectinilyticus share unique modular organizations rarely observed in human gut bacteria, featuring pectin-specific CAZyme domains and the cell wall-anchoring SLH motifs. We observed M. pectinilyticus degrades various pectins, RG-I, and galactan to produce polysaccharide degradation products (PDPs) which are presumably shared with other inhabitants of the human gut microbiome (HGM). This strain occupies a new ecological niche for a primary degrader specialized in foraging a habitually consumed plant glycan, thereby enriching our understanding of the diverse community profile of the HGM.
tuf gene sequence variation in Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis detected in the fecal microbiota of Chinese infants

Published: June 2020

© 2018 American Society for Microbiology. Members of the bacterial genus Bifidobacterium generally dominate the fecal microbiota of infants. The species Bifidobacterium longum is prevalent, but the B. longum subsp. longum and B. longum subsp. infantis strains that are known to colonize the infant bowel are not usually differentiated in microbiota investigations. These subspecies differ in their capacities to metabolize human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) and may have different ecological and symbiotic roles in humans. Quantitative PCR provides a quick analytical method by which to accurately ascertain the abundances of target species in microbiotas and microcosms. However, amplification targets in DNA extracted from samples need to be dependably differential. We evaluated the tuf gene sequence as a molecular target for quantitative PCR measurements of the abundances of B. longum subsp. infantis and B. longum subsp. longum in fecal microbiotas. This approach resulted in the detection of a tuf gene variant (operational taxonomic unit 49 [OTU49]) in Chinese infants that has sequence similarities to both B. longum subsp. infantis and B. longum subsp. longum. We compared the genome sequence and growth and transcriptional characteristics of an OTU49 isolate cultured in HMO medium to those of other B. longum subsp. infantis cultures. We concluded from these studies that OTU49 belongs to B. longum subsp. infantis, that dependable quantitative PCR (qPCR) differentiation between the B. longum subspecies cannot be achieved by targeting tuf gene sequences, and that functional genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism might be better targets because they delineate ecological functions.

The article highlights the problems of the creative approach to translation activities. In this study, translation is considered both as a process and as a product or result of the creative translation. The emphasis is laid on the contemporary research in the field of psycholinguistics and the theory of translation, which laid the foundations for the new approaches to the interpretation of the translation process, problems of free translation and creativity. The author substantiates the essence of key concepts and provisions concerning the research problem: creativity, creativity and freedom of translation, fidelity of translation, neologism, title of the book, concept of reproduction in translation. The subleties of free translation and translational creativity are considered on the examples of the translation peculiarities of the English authors’ book titles translated into Ukrainian and neologisms. It is proved that freedom in the choice of linguistic and stylistic means of the target   language in translation contributes to the formation and development of translation creativity and helps a translator to achieve faithfulness in transferring concepts of the source language. The article suggests directions of further scientific research concerning the creativity of translation activities, including the degree of freedom and creativity in the translation of fantasy children’s literature, translation as a re-creative activity, plurality of translation as an implementation of the creative potential of the translator.
Говірки Ратнівщини у світлі фольклорних текстів: фонетичний рівень
Authors: Грицевич Юрій
Published: June 2020

More and more often dialectologists highlight the issues of text as the subject of their scientific studies, regarding it as a self-sufficient source of information that contains a complex and diverse arsenal of folk language units, all the elements of which are closely interconnected. Description of the phonetic specificities of local dialects in this research is based on the case study of the folklore texts recorded in the Ratno district of the Volyn region.The article deals with the detailed analysis of the reflection of ancient and positional variants of modern vowels, the peculiarities of the depalatalization of the consonants, differences in the frequency of some consonants usage and the consequences of the positional and irregular sound alterations.

 It has been revealed that only professionally recorded folk poetic texts provide linguists with reliable information and enable them to conduct a systemic study of the structural levels of the Ukrainian dialectal speech. This approach allows to single out two types of the folklore collections: the compilers of the first type philologically accurately reproduced the peculiarities of the folk speech, while the collection of the second type involves the texts which have undergone editorial amendments in the course of preparing them for publication and, therefore, lack the completeness and consistency of the material presentation.

The article argues that achieving the compliance of oral folk art records with the requirements of a source, which ought to be quality-reliable and informative, can help to solve the problem of expediency of their involvement into the diverse dialectological research. It also alleviates the elaboration of the theoretical framework that still has not been authenticated in the field of Slavicity regarding the typology of the ethnopoetic texts and local dialects interconnections. Systemic application of the theoretical tools to oral poetic texts used in modern dialectological studies will contribute to verifying the heuristic potential of the folklore text as a specific source of linguistic information.

The article elucidates the issue of creating official and informal names of the village of Zatyshshia residents (based on the novel “Blue Chamois” by M. Nesterchuk). The study has revealed the word-forming patterns with productive and unproductive suffixes in the proper name variants and classified the novel characters’ nicknames in the lexical-semantic motivational groups. The study has revealed that multifunctional formants derived from the first names dominate in the surname derivatives. We have revealed 65 anthroponyms in the novel, including 29 official proper personal male names and 12 female; 11 male and 27 female names have been recorded only in variants. There are also versions formed by compounding: Kots-Kutsky, Moschniaha-Mighty, Motsuhyria-Mochurad, Moshenets-Moschniaha-Mighty.

Most surnames (12) are with multifunctional formants, ending in -uк, -chuк, there are also 5 names with suffixes -sky, -tsky, and 4 surnames on -k-o. Such names are formed in a lexico-semantic way, and are based on the calendar names of the founders or indicate to their place of residence. Among the lexical-semantic motivational groups of nicknames, we have revealed 10 names formed from the name or surname of a husband or the street name of the husband's family. There are 21 nicknames of UPA fighters among the anthroponyms of this group. The origin of them is not clear from the novel plot.

The richness of the Ukrainian dialectal lexicon provide multifaceted opportunities for the study of its composition structure, the system of organization, features of functioning and its areal handling. The article, drawing on the materials of the folklore texts, provides a detailed analysis of the nomination processes, composition, structural organization, and semantics of the lexemes denoting foodstuff, beverages, and kitchen utensils in the Western Polissian dialect.

The study has revealed that nominations of food are motivated mostly by the main ingredient of a dish, its taste, color, the holiday name for which the dish or product is intended, its shape, or purpose features, etc. Most of the detected lexemes are also commonly used in other Ukrainian language dialects. The nominations are described according to the lexical-semantic principle. In this article, 3 thematic subgroups (names of foodstuffs, names of beverages and names of kitchen utensils) are analyzed. A great variety of methods and techniques have been utilized to study the dialect vocabulary. The basic among them are the descriptive and analytical method (to systematize linguistic material and interpret the collected linguistic facts) and comparative-historical method (to find out the genesis of the lexical units). The study has revealed that modern rapid changes in nutrition give rise to the archaization of the traditional words in the lexical groups under consideration.

The key findings of the research argue that the folklore texts reflect a limited proportion of the modern dialect vocabulary and. All the diversity of the folk vocabulary in the oral poetic texts cannot be represented in detail in the article due to the specific features of the selected material. The analyzed lexical content of the thematic groups of food, beverages, utensils contributes to the representation of the studied segment of the West Polissian dialect vocabulary in the Ukrainian continuum.
Актуалізація української підляської говірки в поетичних текстах Юрія Гаврилюка

The issue of literary and dialectal language interaction is a topical issue of theoretical and practical importance in modern linguistics. One of its aspects is the use of dialects in the artistic texts that influences the dynamics of style and general literary norms through the aesthetic function of the language. The elucidation of the author's individual features of presenting the conversational language elements in the artistic texts contributes to creating a holistic picture of the tendencies in dialect-literary vocabulary interaction in general and modern trends in the development of language and literature, in particular.

The interest of the writers of Podlasie (Republic of Poland) to the folk language clearly manifested itself in the 80s of the twentieth century. The young poets, the bearers of the Ukrainian dialects, to realize their distinctiveness from the Poles and Bielorussians began to seek self-expression in the artistic word, actualizing the features of the local dialect in their texts. Yurii Havryliuk supported the trend of creating literary works in Ukrainian using dialect elements.

The source of the research  are the poetic texts from the collection of Yurii Havryliuk “In a never-ending march”. The purpose of the study is to trace multilevel features of the Podlasie Ukrainian dialect in the works of Yurii Havryliuk.

At the phonetic level, the poet is disposed to preserve the specificity of reflexion of the ancient and positional variants of modern vowel phonemes, differences in consonant phonemes loading, combinatorial sound changes. At the morphological level, the most prominent dialect phenomena are those connected with the peculiarities of the substitution of the nominal parts of language with verbs. The features of the morphemic composition of adverbs are also in the focus of the study.

Yurii Havryliuk attempted to use certain dialect elements, or imitation of the dialect speech, in his works, written in a Podlasie dialect, and he did it so skillfully that the dialect sounds like a literary language. The texts represent the North Podlasie Ukrainian dialects in all their diversity and can be successfully used as a material for the dialect studies.

The article highlights usage of the dialect words in the novel-ballad Blue Chmois written by M. Nesterchuk who is a native of the village Sylno, Kivertsi district, Volyn region. The residents of this village have become the writer's prototypes for the characters of his novel, and they all use the words of the local dialect in their communication. The dialect of the village of Sylno comprises the features of two dialects – the Western and Middle Polissia, with a clear predominance of the Middle Polissian dialect phonetic features.

The study focuses on the use of two types of dialectisms – phonetic and word-forming. The case study has revealed the topping dialectal features which the writer prefers in his characters' speech, having compared them with a local dialect. The novel reflects the following features of vocalism: у instead of о in closed syllabl (туй, Забур’я, Запулля), convergence of the unstressed e with и (ни вони, чирвониї) and others. In consonantism, we observe frequent use of prosthetic г (гоко, гонучка), replacement of ф by a sound combination хв (хвамілія, хвігура, хвундамент), pronouncing й as soft н’ and л’ (здоровля, мнясо), and others. Truncations (shortening) of the frequently used words are quite widely represented: дікалон< одекалон (apheresis) бало< бувало, тра< треба (syncopation), зара ˂ зараз, нічо< нічого (apocopa).

The study has also revealed that most differences in word-forming suffixes are due to the phonetic features of the dialect, cf.: батейко, коничейко, матюнка, густющий. The writer also uses derivatives, the word-forming stems of which have been lost, cf. стриєшний ǀǀ стринешний ‘cousin (the lexeme ‘стрий‘(uncle) is no longer used in Polissian dialects), вредний (disobedient; the one who does harm/damage), (lexeme вред is no longer used).

The key findings of the study argue that the author of the novel does not blindly copy the dialect but conducts a careful selection of the most common local dialect words, bringing them closer to the common folk forms.
Transactional Analysis and Spirituality
Authors: Mitra Indranil
Published: June 2020

In the Indian philosophical system Vedanta, the composite human being is described in terms of five concentric sheaths surrounding an inner core - the Pancha Kosha (Five Sheaths) model. This model has implications for the discipline of Transactional Analysis insofar as it sheds light on the working of the Adult Ego State and also suggests the process by which autonomy can be achieved. Other concepts of Vedanta relevant to TA are discussed and elaborated, and a Vedantic Ego States Model presented incorporating them into the Classical TA model. The natural longing for intimacy and the growth force of physis are represented in terms of insights from Vedanta. The practice implications of the model are discussed, and also how it can help for personal growth and eventually spiritual progress.

Authors: Adeola B Animasahun , Motunrayo O Adekunle , Maria A Afadapa , Mohammed A Salisu
Published: June 2020

Background: Malaria is deadly and a major disease burden in Africa especially among the under-5s. Due to the high death rate from malaria in endemic region, World Health Organization previous recommendation was presumptive treatment of malaria. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate if presumptive diagnosis of malaria in our region is still justified, and increase the awareness for proper evaluation for other causes of fever in febrile children. Methods: Apart of a single blinded prospective interventional study carried out between March and May 2016, at the children outpatient unit of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Nigeria. Consecutive children aged 6 months to 12 years with temperature of 37.50C and above at presentation without prior antimalaria treatment were recruited. Clinical and laboratory evaluation for malaria were done in these subjects. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Test of statistical significant was set at <0.05. Results: Eighty-eight (88) children were recruited. The mean age of studied subjects was 43±46.5 months with a median of 25 months. Male to female ratio was 1.1:1. The axillary temperature range of studied subjects ranged between 37.50C to 390C. The mean temperature of subjects was 37.8±0.370C. Out of 88 children recruited for the study, 51 (58%) had microscopic malaria test being positive. Up to 37 (42%) febrile children tested negative for malaria. Conclusion: Malaria infection in children is still high in our environment, but presumption treatment of malaria is no longer justified. There is a need to scale up provision of diagnostic tools for malaria so that overtreatment can be curtailed.
A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGY IN ADULT EDUCATION IN MOTIVATING TO PROMOTE THE SPEAKING SKILLS OF NON-NATIVE ADULT SPEAKERS OF ENGLISH
Authors: Mahendran Sivarajasingam
Published: June 2020

This very small scale (due to limited time and resources) exploratory and almost wholly qualitative research (Qual–quan) study seeks to examine how non-native adult speakers of English (NNASE) can be motivated to speak English as a foreign language (EFL) more and better via the utilization of counseling psychology rather than through traditional teaching methods over a 3 month period of English language lessons in a classroom environment.  The approach taken in this study resembles the Oral Approach and Situational Language Teaching but it is more than those traditional methods used in the 1950s through the 1960s in British and Australian schools, and involves a combination of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, widely used from mid-1970s to the 1980s period, Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) approach and Counseling Learning Techniques.

Eccema numular: reporte de tres casos
Authors: Casas-Barrera María Alejandra , Ricardo-Soto José William , Rolón- Cadena Mariam Carolina , Chalela-Mantilla Juan Guillermo
Published: June 2020

El eccema numular es una dermatosis crónica y recidivante que se manifiesta con placas en forma de moneda, pruriginosas, de tamaño variable y bordes definidos, que evolucionan a placas liquenificadas y con descamación. A pesar de que se considera una enfermedad de adultos, existen reportes de caso de niños con ec­cema numular. Afecta a ambos sexos y las lesiones se presentan con mayor fre­cuencia en las extremidades, aunque pueden comprometer el tronco y el rostro.
La etiología de esta entidad es desconocida. Se considera una enfermedad mul­tifactorial en la que intervienen fármacos, infecciones, alérgenos, irritantes, fac­tores ambientales y factores emocionales, entre otros. Dado que la histopatología es inespecífica, el diagnóstico es eminentemente clínico.
Los tratamientos farmacológicos más usados y reportados involucran corticoides tópicos de mediana y gran potencia, asociados a emolientes y antihistamínicos. Sin embargo, hay reportes de casos en los que se han usado inmunomoduladores e inmunosupresores, especialmente en los casos graves y de difícil manejo.

Published: June 2020

El aprovechamiento forestal en el sureste de México se realiza desde la civilización Maya mediante usos tradicionales, concesiones forestales hasta la propiedad comunal. Actualmente, la mitad de los ejidos de Quintana Roo están enfocados en el aprovechamiento forestal maderable, principalmente en selvas medianas subperennifolias, el tipo de vegetación con mayor cobertura. El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en determinar la diversidad arbórea en 14 selvas del sur de la Península de Yucatán, con edades, prácticas de manejo y conservación distintas: seis en ejidos forestales del estado de Quintana Roo y ocho en otros sitios. Se analizaron 10 parcelas de 500 m2 por sitio, en las que las especies arbóreas fueron identificadas taxonómicamente y se midió el diámetro a la altura del pecho en ejemplares desde los 7.5 cm hasta 1.30 m sobre el suelo. Se determinó una riqueza de 156 especies de árboles con abundancia, dominancia e importancia relativas contrastante entre sitios. Se realizó, para los 14 sitios, un análisis de similitud de Bray Curtis, que se conformó por tres grupos: el primero por un sitio en la Reserva de la Biósfera de Calakmul sin uso, el segundo por seis sin uso, desde 7 hasta 50 años y el tercero por seis ejidos forestales. La riqueza, abundancia y similitud entre ellos probablemente se asocian a la ubicación geográfica y a la edad de recuperación tanto de disturbios antrópicos como naturales. Se sugiere incorporar dichas características ecológicas como indicadores en los planes de aprovechamiento forestal, acotados ambiental y socioeconómicamente.

The purpose of this descriptive cross‐sectional survey study was to assess the hygiene and safety precautions implemented by street food vendors in the Urban district of Zanzibar. The study involved 265 food vendors with immobile food vending sites. An organized researcher‐executed questionnaire developed based on World Health Organization essential requirement for the safety of street‐vended foods was used in data collection and complemented with observation. Data on environmental hygiene of the surveyed vending sites indicated that <50% of the sites had both washbasin and soap in place and only 50.2% and 42.6% vending sites had waste bin and/or refuse sites respectively. Adherence to safe food handling practices were reflected in adequate protection of food from flies and dust (40.8%), cold storage of food (28.3%), saving food hot or reheating before sale (35.1%), dishing out food with spoon/ladle (53%) and food covering (57.4%). Hygienic and sanitary practices among food vendors demonstrated the following levels of adherence: washing hands with soap after toilet use (always 33.2%, sometimes 46.8%), washing hands with soap prior to preparing food (always 63%, sometimes 34%), keeping clean fingernail (98.5%), protection of hair (33.6%) and use of apron (29%). The results indicate poor environmental sanitation and waste handling practices, moderate adherence to food handling practices, safety measures and hygiene. Based on the results it is suggested that food safety and hygiene training should be a prior condition for starting a food‐vending venture and be complemented with regular monitoring.

Bank sampah merupakan suatu program pengelolaan sampah secara kolektif dengan prinsip daur ulang yang mendorong masyarakat untuk berperan secara aktif di dalamnya. Metode ini dilakukan dengan menampung, memilah, dan menyalurkan sampah untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomis sehingga masyarakat mendapat keuntungan ekonomi dari menabung sampah. Keberadaan bank sampah memberikan dampak positif bagi lingkungan maupun ekonomi di suatu komunitas. Pada bank sampah desa Kaligerman pencatatan dan pengelolaan yang dilakukan sangat rumit sehingga sulit dipahami oleh pihak pengelola pembukuan dalam melakukan pencatatan. Selain itu adanya persaingan antar Rukun Tetangga (RT) dalam melakukan program bank sampah baik dalam pengelolaan sampah maupun pembukuan bank sampah. Oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu kegiatan yang dapat meningkatkan kesadaran dan kemampuan mencatatat data persampahan bagi pengelola bank sampah desa Kaligerman. Kegiatan yang dilakukan meliputi sosialisasi dengan pengurus bank sampah dan perwakilan warga tentang pengelolaan data persampahan pada suatu bank sampah. Setelah dilakukan sosialisasi, administrasi menjadi lebih rapi dan mudah dipahami bagi pihak pengelola pembukuan serta telah sesuai dengan aturan standar pada bank sampah.
