The Poetics of Silence in the Translation of Samuel Beckett’s “Comment dire” / “What Is The Word” into Spanish
Authors: Garre García Mar
Published: December 2020

“L’écriture m’a conduit au silence,” admitted Samuel Beckett to Charles Juliet in Rencontres avec Samuel Beckett (21). ‘Comment dire,’ his last written poem, was first published in 1989 and summarises a lifetime exercise of self-expression beyond the limits of language and time. Indeed, it was originally written in French only a year before Beckett died, devoid of a great deal of his communicative abilities. Thus, this poem represents a sort of literary testament (Carriedo 50) resonant of both his literary career and personal life. In fact, its misleading austerity reveals a challenging area of work for the translator to draw on the original text to create his/her own poetic interpretation. In Spanish- speaking countries, Beckett’s poetry has not been given as much prominence as his other works. However, there is evidence of three translations of ‘Comment dire,’ which thereafter demonstrates a surprising interest in Beckett’s late poetic production: Laura Cerrato’s ‘Cómo decir’ (1990), Loreto Casado’s version within Quiebros y Poemas (1998), and Jenaro Talens’ own interpretation in Obra poética completa (2000). The main objective of this paper is to comment on the essential convergences and disparities found in these translations and therefore to identify mutual sources of interest in Beckett’s original poem. I will also observe the predominant strategies they have chosen in translating ‘Comment dire’ on the basis of two fundamental parameters: creative freedom and respect for Beckettian standards founded on the poetics of silence.
Sueños patriarcales: el ideal de la masculinidad blanca estadounidense como anhelo inalcanzable en Ethan Frome
Authors: Saravia Joaquín
Published: December 2020

Este artículo analiza la novela Ethan Frome (1911) de la escritora estadounidense Edith Wharton. En concreto, la investigación aborda la representación del protagonista homónimo como un intento fallido de encarnar la masculinidad blanca estadounidense hegemónica durante finales del siglo XIX y a principios del XX, lo que se debe a cuatro factores: su incapacidad de ascender socialmente, cultivarse intelectualmente, ejercer de forma exitosa el rol de proveedor material de la familia y convertirse en el patriarca de la misma. Se analiza, a su vez, la influencia de los personajes femeninos Zeena y Mattie en el fracaso del protagonista. Con este fin, el artículo se sirve de construcciones teóricas que describen los ideales de masculinidad y feminidad hegemónicos en los Estados Unidos del período analizado, así como el concepto de patriarcado.

Providing critical care in ethical way. Traditions and ethics should go hand in hand
Authors: Khan Abdus Salam , Sattar Abdul , Khan Hafsa
Published: December 2020

Ethics are at the core of healthcare provision. Good medical practice reflects ethics and professionalism in action and ethics should drive our behavior when providing medical care. The patients trust their treating doctor to be competent and ethical in their communication and also in the clinical decision-making. The expectations from the doctors are even more during the times when patients are critical. For the doctors and nurses providing the care, it may be very challenging, as those critical times are highly stressful for patients and attendants and can result in less than optimal outcome. Under these trying moments we face issues in communication and care provision which may look to be not conforming to the ethical standards. This editorial highlights the importance to adhere to the rules of ethics in many different critical situations, which may arise in emergency departments or in critical care units. But the principles outlined deserve to be learned by every healthcare staff member.

Authors: Kausar Shamim , Yasin Iqra , Ahsan Irfan , Rais Zunairah
Published: December 2020

Aim/Background: Delirium is common in critically ill patients. For its treatment along with other sedatives, dexmedetomidine has also been prescribed by the clinicians.  However, the outcomes with its use are less well-defined by any study in local population. We aimed to study its effectiveness for delirium and the impact on hemodynamics in critically sick patients of our population.

Methodology: It was a cross-sectional, prospective observational study conducted on 212 participants after ethical review committee approval at our hospital. Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures and Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) scores were recorded before starting dexmedetomidine and within one hour of starting the drug. More than 10% decrease in heart rate (HR) or systolic or diastolic blood pressure was considered as an impact on hemodynamic parameters. An achievement of RASS of -2 was considered as effectiveness of drug.

 Results: There was a mean drop of HR by 13.78 ± 18.58 beats/min (14.49%) after starting dexmedetomidine. Mean systolic blood pressure drop was 10.99 ± 20.67 mmHg (9.16%), and mean drop in diastolic blood pressure was 4.958 ± 12.53 mmHg after dexmedetomidine use. The mean value of RASS score achieved on dexmedetomidine was -2.

 Conclusion: Our study concluded the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine as light sedation for delirium. It significantly impacted on hemodynamic parameters. Its impact on heart rate was more pronounced as compared to systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global outbreak caused by novel SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Study aims to evaluate knowledge and practices of healthcare workers (HCW) regarding infection prevention and control of corona virus disease

Material and methods: A cross sectional validation study was conducted. Study was conducted at department of Medicine, Pakistan Ordinance Factory Hospital, Wah Cantt. Study duration was 2 months (May 2020-June2020)A sample size of 217 HCW was calculated using WHO calculator. HCW were selected through non probability sampling (consecutive). Ethical permission was taken and research consent was signed by each participant. SPSS version 24 was used for analysis purpose. Post stratification fissure exact and chi-square test was applied. We found p value ≤0.05 as statistically significant.

Results: Total 217 HCW were included in our study. Out of them, 85 (39.2%) were male and 132 (60.8%) were female in our study. Mean age of HCW was 34.5±2.4SD. In knowledge assessment majority of HCW had fair knowledge (46.5%), followed by good (30%) and poor knowledge (23.5%) regarding corona virus associated infection control and prevention. In practice assessment, among all those, 38.2% HCW showed better practices while 61.8% showed poor practices. Knowledge is significantly associated with virus transmission mode (p = 0.00), close contact (p = 0.000), protection from COVID-19 in triage area (p = 0.000), wearing PPE (p = 0.000) etc.

Conclusion: Corona virus disease is a major challenge in resource limited countries. Healthcare workers showed relatively improved knowledge and practices regarding infection prevention and control in this COVID-19 Pandemic.

Authors: & et al. Rasheed
Published: December 2020

The present study was designed to investigate the possibility of using Lactobacillus as a skin probiotic. For this purpose, 63 isolates of Lactobacillus sp. were collected from dairy products and human mouth samples. The isolates were screened for bacteriocin production by primary and secondary screening against three common skin pathogens. The results showed that the isolate Lactobacillus HT1give the highest productivity of bacteriocin (320AU/ml), the efficient isolate was identified through molecular detection using 16S ribosomal RNA gene. In addition, result showed that L. acidophilus HT1 was un encapsulated; has no capability to produce biofilm and was susceptible to amoxicillin–clavulanic acid, vancomycin and chloramphenicol. Moreover, the infectious dose of L. acidophilus HT1 was studied and results revealed that mice were remained in a healthy condition including all vital processes such as breathing, consuming food and water as well as external and anatomical appearance. Next, an emul gel formula contained L. acidophilus HT1 biomass was prepared which already examined in vitro and in vivo. Our results confirmed the efficacy of the formula via inhibiting the growth of pathogenic isolates and through several points included: viability of L. acidophilus HT1 cells, its ability to produce bacteriocin, and its releasing from the formula to the external environment without trapping or interaction among bacteriocin and any component of formula. In vivo results approved the affectivity of L. acidophilus HT1 biomass to treat the wounds infected with different bacterial pathogens during seven days after the onset of treatment compared with the control groups.

Authors: Baruah Minoti , Kakati Kaberi , Kataki Amal Ch.
Published: December 2020

Introduction : SARS CoV-2 infection has been creating havoc in the world since it was first detected and reported in Wuhan, China in December, 2019. It gradually spread all over the world and became an international emergency. No age is immune to this virus and can affect anyone. Some carriers may be asymptomatic and may act as a potential source of infection. Cancer patients are considered to be a high risk group for contracting this infection with a higher morbidity and mortality. This article analyses the impact and outcome of COVID-19 after major oncological resections.
Methods : A retrospective analysis on the morbidity and outcome of COVID-19 in cancer patients after major oncological resections were done from a prospectively maintained database. They were studied from 16th July, 2020 to 30th September, 2020. All surgical candidates underwent a mandatory RTPCR test for COVID-19 pre-operatively. Only the surgical cases who were pre-operatively negative for COVID-19 and then became positive in the post-operative period were taken for analysis.
Results : A total of 299 major oncological surgeries were performed during the period of study. Out of these, 10 cases developed COVID-19 in the post-operative period and were taken up for the study. 7 out of the 10 cases were head and neck oncological resections. 4 cases had taken neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. 2 of the cases died which had probable handling of the aero-digestive tract as a part of the oncological resections.
Conclusion : Cancer care has to continue even in the midst of an ongoing pandemic . Hence, identification of the factors which might increase the vulnerability of these patients are important so that extra care can be taken to protect them.

STUDY ON OCULAR CHANGES IN PRE-ECLAMPSIAAND ECLAMPSIA IN A TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL IN BIHAR
Authors: Pushpa Pushpa , Singh Mamta
Published: December 2020

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are hypertensive disorders of pregnancy which involve multiple organ systems including eye and CNS. Endothelial dysfunction associated with the disease affects retinal vasculature leading to visual disturbance. A prospective, observational study conducted at Patna Medical College Hospital, Patna, Bihar between October 2018 to September 2019. The aim was to assess the ocular changes and associated visual deficit in patients of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia and to evaluate possible residual visual symptoms during the follow-up period of 6 weeks after termination of pregnancy. The study included 200 patients of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. None of the patients had history of use of glasses, any previous ocular complaints or significant treatment history for ocular problems. Visual disturbance was complained by 43 patients. A thorough ocular evaluation was performed by a trained team of ophthalmologists. Patients were treated according to NICE guideline given for managing gestational hypertension. Repeat fundoscopy was performed after 2 weeks of pregnancy termination. The mean duration between onset of visual symptom to hospital consultation was 7-10 days. Although permanent impairment of vision is rare, emergency providers in rural areas should be taught about visual symptoms arising in pregnancy and for referral services. Obstetricians should be conscious of possible eye changes and should consult ophthalmologist for diagnostic options. Fundoscopy is a simple but effective procedure to detect ocular changes in asymptomatic patients and may help in initiating treatment and preventing complications. Women and families must be stressed upon for regular antenatal care.
GRANULOMETRIC STUDIES TO INTERPRET THE ORIGIN OF THE SEDIMENT TRAPPED WITHIN A POCKET ALONG THE PRAVARA RIVER BASIN, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA
Authors: Joshi Veena
Published: December 2020

Sediment populations may have characteristics associated with multiple sources. Grain size parameters will therefore reflect spatial as well as temporal variations in transport mechanism and flow direction along with the nature and energy flux of the transporting agents. Herein, the author has investigated a small watershed area along Mahalungi River in Maharashtra, India. Samples were collected from the surface and from litho-facies at various depths and were subjected to granulometric analysis. The sediment sizes were separated principally on the basis of their intermediate axial diameter and shape using microscope, sedigraph and pipette method appropriately. Bivariate relationships from textural parameters were obtained and Visher’s log-probability plots were constructed. Incorporation of all results of the analyses and a careful inspection of the geomorphic settings of the area lead us to the conclusion that the present deposits are part of the alluvial deposits of Pravara and haven’t descended from the footslope to form colluvial deposits. The fact that the silt population is found right at the footslope indicates that during the floods, flood waters must have entered and hit the amphitheater. As the flood water receded, the narrow outlet did not allow free retraction of the flow but created an eddy effect every time and gave a temporary ponding effect within the amphitheater.
POPULATION- SPECIFIC FALL RISK ASSESSMENT TOOLS FOR ADULT INPATIENTS: A SYSTEMISED LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Padmanabhan Priya , Chandrasekaran Salumon
Published: December 2020

Fall is one of the most commonly reported adverse events from the hospitals and around one-third of them result in injury. A carefully tailored fall reduction program begins with the identification of the “at-risk” population. Commonly used adult fall risk assessment tools do not take into consideration the risk factors of some of the vulnerable patient populations. This paper provides a systemised literature review of the need and availability of population-specific risk assessment tools. One of the most commonly used tools - Morse Fall Scale- does not assess the effect of certain medications and population-specific risk factors. The Cleveland Clinic – Capone- Albert (CC-CA) Fall Risk Score is a tool that is specifically developed for cancer patients. Similarly, Obstetric Fall Risk Assessment Tool (OFRAS) helps in identifying the fall risk factors in perinatal women. Usage of such population-specific tools help in focused identification of risks, distinct implementation of interventions and thus, results in reducing the incidents of falls and injuries thereof.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência técnica da colhedora automotriz de hastes vibratórias em lavouras de café conilon (Coffea canephora) e sua influência nos custos de colheita.  Os ensaios foram realizados em lavoura comercial, com espaçamento de 3,50 x 0,50 m. Nos ensaios foram comparadas a velocidade de colheita (1,0; 1,6 e 2,0 km h-1), a frequência de vibração (700, 800 e 900 rpm) e o número de passadas da colhedora (primeira, segunda e única). Eficiência de derriça (ED) e de colheita (EC), percentual de frutos perdidos no chão (FPC) e não derriçados (FND) e desfolha foram medidos nos clones bamburral e 153/143. O custo operacional horário da colheita mecanizada foi calculado a partir dos custos fixos e variáveis. O custo total da colheita mecanizada foi obtido pelo somatório dos custos de colheita, repasse de solo e planta e perdas no chão. O aumento da velocidade e a redução da frequência e do número de passadas reduziram a ED e EC e aumentaram os FND dos clones em estudo. O uso da colhedora de café apresentou custo operacional de R$ 279,21 h-1, sendo 49% fixo e 51% variável, enquanto o manual foi de R$ 15,30 por saco (80 L). Observou-se uma redução no custo da colheita mecanizada de 33 a 50% em relação a colheita manual, com uma velocidade de 0,60 e 2,00 km h-1. O aumento da velocidade e da eficiência de colheita da máquina automotriz reduziram o custo total e unitário da colheita em relação à manual.

Objetivou-se avaliar a aplicação de crescentes doses de fósforo na produção de mudas de café Conilon com o intuito de acelerar o processo de desenvolvimento e produzir plantas mais vigorosas. O projeto foi composto por cinco doses de Fosfato de Sódio Monobásico Monohidratado (0,00;0,04; 0,08; 0,12; 0,16 g/mol), aplicados junto com a irrigação. As sementes utilizadas foram da variedade Conquista ES 8152. O experimento constou de deliamento em blocos casualizados. Os parâmetros avaliados foram o índice de velocidade de emergência, índice de plantas normais e anormais, presença de segundo par de folhas, altura da parte aérea, peso fresco e seco da parte aérea. A estatística foi efetuada pelo programa RStudio, no qual submeteu os dados a análise de variância, analise de variância da regressão e para os injustificáveis foram efetuados ajustes de modelos mais apropriados. Os resultados mostram que em todos os parâmetros avaliados, não houve efeitos significativos para a aplicação de fosfato de sódio por irrigação em solos com a presença inicial de super fosfato simples, por proporcionar um alto nível de plantas anormais, ou plantas normais de baixo vigor, porte e peso. Sendo a dose zero (0,00 g/mol), o tratamento que obteve os melhores resultados. Tal fato pode ser explicado pela fitotoxidez do fósforo, proporcionada pelas diferentes doses, bem como a presença de sódio no produto

O café representa a principal fonte de renda dos produtores rurais de São Roque do Canaã, porém o município apresenta restrição hídrica ao cafeeiro devido à baixa e irregular distribuição de chuvas. Fato que implica na adoção de sistemas de irrigação para suprir as exigências hídricas do cafeeiro, onde é utilizado principalmente do tipo localizada por gotejamento. Porém, identifica-se a ausência de limpeza, manutenção e avaliações nestes sistemas de irrigação, o que reduz a eficiência e uniformidade de aplicação de água. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se com a realização deste trabalho, avaliar o desempenho de sistemas de irrigação localizada por gotejamento no município de São Roque do Canaã, visando determinação da uniformidade e eficiência de aplicação de água. Foram avaliados sistemas de irrigação em dez propriedades no município. Com base nos resultados obtidos, foram determinados e classificados o Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Christiansen (CUC), o Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Distribuição (CUD), Coeficiente de Uniformidade Estatística (Us) e Eficiência de aplicação (Ea). Os sistemas de irrigação localizada por gotejamento apresentaram baixa uniformidade de aplicação de água, sendo necessário que algumas práticas de manutenção preventiva e corretiva sejam adotadas para que os sistemas operem com maior uniformidade, e em consequência, com maior eficiência no uso da água.

A gestão dos recursos hídricos é de fundamental importância para a sociedade, sendo assim necessário definir uma área de atuação para aumentar a efetividade das técnicas; as bacias hidrográficas são consideradas unidades de planejamento e dessa forma a ocupação da terra e a aplicação de técnicas conservacionistas são necessárias para favorecer a infiltração de água no solo e regularizar os cursos d’água. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a dinâmica da água e avaliar as técnicas de manejo conservacionista da cafeicultura na bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão São Luís. A bacia do São Luís é uma sub-bacia do Rio Manhuaçu, que possui a foz no Rio Doce. Foi realizado um modelo digital de elevação hidrologicamente consistente (MDEHC) para delimitação da área de drenagem da bacia, extração da hidrografia, aspecto e declividade. Foi também adquirido imagens do LandSat 8 OLI e realizada uma classificação supervisionada da cobertura da terra.  Três pluviômetros foram avaliados na área da bacia para constatar a variação espacial e temporal da precipitação. Foi feita a caracterização visual da bacia hidrográfica para analisar as práticas agrícolas usadas na cafeicultura. A bacia do Ribeirão São Luís possui área de 242,93 km², relevo fortemente ondulado e montanhoso. A cobertura do solo predominante são as lavouras cafeeiras, abrangendo 30,70% da área total. Houve grande variação temporal da vazão ao longo de 14 meses de avaliação. A ocorrência de chuvas intensas na região de cabeceira da bacia favorece a erosão do solo, sendo assim recomendáveis técnicas conservacionistas para a cafeicultura na bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão São Luís.

Vegetable crops make up the bulk of the world's agricultural crops. Currently, the gross yield of vegetables in the world is 560-570 mln. tons, and in developed countries, per capita consumption of vegetables corresponds to 100 kilograms per year. From ancient times, one of the main conditions for ensuring high and quality yields of vegetable crops is the protection of crops from diseases. To meet the needs of the population and industry of the republic, about 1.9 mln. tons of potatoes and 5.9 mln. tons vegetable and melon products are required. In order to increase the yield and quality of vegetable crops grown in the country, the use of modern technology in their cultivation, the introduction of productive and local varieties, as well as a number of factors play a special role in effective protection of vegetables from various diseases.

Modern aspects of law-economic regulations of service classification and identification for unshadowing the economy of Ukraine
Authors: Melnyk Maryana , Zalutskyy Ivan
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the modern aspects of “shadowing” economy as socio-economic fact. The definition of “shadowing economy” is revealed not to be regulated by the legislative acts of Ukraine. Retrospective analysis of the legal regulation of the term “service” proves a diversity of modern interpretation of this category in the legal documents of Ukraine. Currently, the essence of the term “commerce service” is not regulated by any document. The results of the official integrated estimation of the size of the shadow economy do not show its real state and development tendencies by the types of economic activity differentiated according to the specific areas and types of services. The absence of a clear definition of the object of procurement, primarily the service sector, which leads to manipulation and inefficient use of funds is established to be one of the main factors determining the corruption risks in the system of public and sub-procurement. Nowadays, the State Classifier of Products and Services DK 016:2010 (SCPS) defined as the potential basis for industrial classification of products/services is a systematized summary of product names and services with their coding according to the hierarchical system of classification. The peculiarities and problems of implementing SCPS and the other classifications in the service sector are analyzed. The article proves that the State Statistics Service of Ukraine ignores methodologically SCPS as the ground for statistical classifications named “base for classifier conflicts” under stagnation of the national classification system, which preserves the risks of increased ‘shadowing’ in accounting and procurement and blocks the potentially transparent commercialization of services and their cumulative impact on socio-economic growth by different types of economic activity. The paper suggests the range of elements to be defined as integral elements of the legislative mechanism for the economy unshadowing in the service sector.
Analysis of investment resources’ impact on food security condition
Authors: Pruntseva Gelena
Published: December 2020

Ensuring food security and developing agricultural production is impossible without investment. At the same time, some scientists note that a significant amount of foreign investment increases the dependence of the domestic economy and enterprises on foreign investors. In addition, subsidies lead to a lack of motivation among entrepreneurs to attract additional investment resources and increase the dependence of production on areas of state support. Some investment models contribute to the deterioration of the environment, and technological advances are not available to small farmers who do not have the financial resources to apply the technology. Therefore, investment is important to ensure the effective development of the agricultural sector and food security mechanism. However, the presence of a significant amount of foreign investment can lead to the dependence of the national economy on investors, which can have a negative impact on the cost of agricultural products, production volumes, exchange rates and purchasing power of the population. The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of investment on the agricultural production as the main component of food security mechanism. To analyze the effectiveness of investment we chose the indicators “Government spending on agriculture”, “Foreign direct investment in agriculture” and the indicator “Agricultural production”. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the impact of government investments on agricultural production is not significant. This trend can be explained by the existing theory that there is no significant positive impact of government investments on the efficiency of agricultural enterprises due to the lack of incentives for farmers to innovate and compete in the market environment. A strong direct link between the indicators “Foreign direct investment in agriculture” and “Agricultural production”, which indicates a significant impact of foreign direct investment on agricultural production, is emphasized.
The methodological approach to the economic evaluation of the assimilation capacity of bioresources as a component of the eco-system assets of territorial communities
Authors: Suhina Olena
Published: December 2020

This article presents a methodological approach to the economic evaluation of the assimilation capacity of biological resources as ecosystem assets of territorial communities. The author evaluated the cost of «work» of the assimilation capacity of trees (taking into account the life cycle of the tree) and compared it with the fees for calculating the amount of damage caused by a violation of nature reserve legislation due to illegal felling or damage to trees and plants to the point of cessation of growth (for each tree felled or damaged to the point of cessation of growth) (Annex 1 to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of July 24, 2013 № 541 «On approval of fees for calculating the amount of damage caused by violations of nature reserve legislation»). The author concluded that the fees of this resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine are quite low compared to the actual cost of the assimilation capacity of trees. That is, the cost of a tree as a component of the ecosystem will be much higher, because trees also emit oxygen, purify water, and so on. Even lower are the fees for calculating the amount of damage caused to forests by enterprises, institutions, organizations, and citizens by illegal felling and damage to trees and shrubs to the point of cessation of growth (for each tree cut down or damaged to the point of cessation of growth) (Annex 1 to the Cabinet Of Ukraine of July 23, 2008 № 665 «On approval of fees for calculating the amount of damage caused to forests»). The facts that there is no correlation between the actual value of the tree and the above fees, and that the current regulations must be reviewed are emphasized. When carrying out a qualitative assessment of the assimilative potential of bioresources of ecosystem assets of territorial communities, it is advisable to use certain indicators and their criteria. This article presents the indicator of environmental costs for the mining industry. This indicator determines the total financial costs of environmental measures in the production of a unit of marketable products.
