Authors: Adhya Abhishek , Gayen Soumya , Sow Monoranjan , Das Kalyan , Sarkar Arindam
Published: February 2024

Objectives: The purposes of this study were: (1) To evaluate the possibility of preparation of human platelet lysate (hPL) from expired platelet concentrate, its storage – qualitative assessment in terms of growth factor content between freshly prepared hPL and preserved hPL (in liquid nitrogen for up to 6 months) and (2) to evaluate regenerative potential of the stored hPL on the 2° burn wound as compared to standard topical treatment for burns (1% silver sulfadiazine [SSD]).
Methods: hPL was prepared by three rounds of freeze-thaw cycle; concentration of growth factors was estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method and compared between fresh hPL and stored hPL. For clinical assessment, patients with 2° burn injury were randomly allocated to SSD and hPL treatment group. Wound status was compared on 3rd week by clinical assessments and based on histopathological findings. Immunohistochemistry was performed using cell proliferative markers to corroborate the extent of healing with the number of proliferating cells that give strong positive reactions to the markers.
Results: Concentration of growth factors in tested samples (hPL fresh - <72 h, hPL-3 month and hPL-6 month) was almost same. No significant decrease in concentration was observed in any of the tested growth factor up to 6 months. p-values (analysis of variance) for concentration variations of platelet-derived growth factor-AA, basic-fibroblast growth factor,and transforming growth factor beta were 0.8981, 0.6417, and 0.9540, respectively. Healing of 2° deep-dermal burns was better for hPL group than SSD treatment at 3rd week and the observed tissue regeneration pattern was corroborated well with the expression of cell proliferative markers.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that hPL produced from expired platelet concentrates can be used as a potential source of biological factors that could serve its therapeutic need in the field of regenerative medicine, while on the other hand avoiding the waste of valuable human physiological resources.

Authors: GOLLAPALLI MURALI KRISHNA , K PAVAN KUMAR , BINGI SUPRAJA , R ARCHANA
Published: February 2024

Background: Using other imaging modalities, subtle bone marrow, soft tissue, and spinal cord abnormalities, which may not be apparent, can be readily detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Prompt and accurate diagnosis, expeditious management, and avoidance of unnecessary procedures are achieved by early detection.
Aim: The aim is to study the role of MRI in diagnosing spinal cord lesions.
Methods: This study was conducted during the period from November 2018 to November 2020 and it is a prospective descriptive study of 50 patients who were referred to the Department of Radiodiagnosis Osmania General Hospital and MNJ Institute of Oncology and Regional Cancer Centre, Hyderabad, Telangana.
Results: In the present study of 50 cases, different spinal cord lesions were found. The most common spinal cord lesions were neoplastic (38%) followed by spinal cord trauma (28%), and congenital lesions (16%). The most common spinal lesions were found in the 20–29 age group (40%), with more male predilection of 72% in comparison to 28% female in the present study. Out of 19 neoplastic lesions, the most common type of intramedullary spinal cord tumor (IMSC) is ependymoma (31.5%). The second most common IMSC tumor is astrocytoma 15.7% of all neoplastic lesions in the present study and the most common tumor among children. The most common location of the lesion is the thoracic cord. Hemangioblastomas constitute 10.5% of all spinal cord tumors in the present study. Meningiomas which are intradural extramedullary lesions constituted 10.5%. Neurofibroma constituted 5.2% which are intradural extramedullary with extradural component noted in NF1. Spinal cord metastasis constituted 26.3%. Intradural intramedullary lesions constituted 48% followed by extradural lesions 40% followed by intradural extramedullary lesions 12%.
Conclusion: MRI by virtue of non-invasiveness, lack of radiation hazard, and the ability to demonstrate structural changes is an investigation of choice for spinal cord pathologies. The ability to image the cord directly rather than indirectly as in myelography, the absence of bone artifacts as in computed tomography, and the multiplanar capabilities indicate that MRI is the procedure of choice in the examination of the spinal cord.

Abstract: The contemporary city presents itself as an urban organism of great complexity, consisting of an increasingly number of elements, systems, dynamics and extracts, which makes their reading an equally complex task. the method of morphological analysis, it is assumed in this context, as an important reading tool of the city, giving order to what is naturally disordered through a classification process of the different elements that structure it –streets,squares, urban blocks,building , plots among others .Specifically, the paper discusses the morphological component of urban design, concentrating on the forms along with configurations of urban centers, as well as current preferences for urban blocks and interconnecting street patterns. Overall, it is concerned with the network of public spaces as well as actual public realm, which is the physical setting or stage for public activity. An important factor in this is one of the key tensions at the core of modern urban design: complexity, conflicts, andsynergies between the requirement for space and movement necessary for economic and social interaction and everyday living. Urban design goals, according to Jan Gehl, should be prioritized in the following order: first it islife, second it isspace, and third it isbuilding.

Published: February 2024

Abstract: Campground selection platforms like Camp With Ease heavily rely on user-generated reviews to assist users in making informed decisions. However, the use of these reviews poses a significant privacy risk as it can inadvertently expose users' private information, including visited locations, to the public and potential adversaries. This is particularly concerning since businesses often consider location information as basic and public, making users susceptible to advertisement spamming and physical stalking. To mitigate this privacy concern, this website presents a novel framework that aims to protect users' location privacy within campground review systems. The proposed framework focuses on preserving the system's integrity and ensuring the utility of both the system and its users in local areas. Real-world data traces are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the framework, and the results validate its performance. By implementing this framework, users can confidently share their campground experiences without compromising their privacy. The framework acts as a protective layer, shielding users from potential risks such as intrusive advertisements and physical threats. Through rigorous evaluation using actual data, it has been demonstrated that the framework successfully achieves its intended purpose of safeguarding users' location privacy. The website introduces a framework that addresses the crucial issue of preserving location privacy in campground review systems. By employing this framework, users can benefit from the functionality of platforms like Camp With Ease while ensuring their personal information remains secure. The framework's effectiveness, validated through real-world data evaluation, provides assurance that users' location privacy is effectively preserved.

Authors: Majumder Soumyajyoti , Mandal Himangshu S. , Kumar N. Rajesh
Published: February 2024

Abstract: This technical paper explains an approach of solving problems related to bearing failures in steel industry by working beyond catalogue calculation using conventional as well as speciality software. Bearing manufacturing companies usually publish a detailed method of L10 life calculation in their catalogue based on international standards as well their own. Whereas they conduct more detailed system level calculations using their own advanced software. But those advance calculation are not easily available to engineers working on design from scratch or solving problem of industrial equipment in-house. So called catalogue method of bearing analysis are mostly done for bearings in isolation without considering the effect of surrounding parts as a system. This paper elaborates a couple of examples of calculation beyond catalogue life of bearing using a commercially available software such as KISSOFT by overcoming some of the constraints in catalogue approach and extends engineers’ capability to carry out more realistic analysis of bearing failures and devise a solution with better predictability of success. In this paper two examples one from general steel plant applications and another from gearbox, have been explained to guide design, application and maintenance engineers across industrial domain to critically think beyond hand calculation and bring in more systematic and prediction based approach for bearing related problems
Las enfermedades neurológicas y el envejecimiento de la población colombiana
Authors: Rosselli Diego
Published: February 2024

Aunque la región va unos años atrás de países desarrollados como Italia, Francia o Japón, América Latina ha ido ganando un impulso inusitado en el proceso que llamamos transición demográfica, cuya principal característica es el rápido envejecimiento de la población.
Una de las maneras más empleadas para ver la magnitud de ese cambio son las pirámides poblacionales (1). Es así que en 1985 el quinquenio de mayor población eran los niños menores de 5 años, que equivalían a 13,4 % de la población total; para 2020 ese porcentaje había bajado a 8,6 %, en el mismo lapso, la población mayor de 65 años había pasado de representar 4,4 % del total de la población, a 8,5%. Es decir que mientras en 1985 había tres niños menores de 5 años por cada adulto mayor, hoy la relación es de uno a uno.

Determinants of Demand and Participation by Poultry Farmers in Formal and Informal Credit Markets in Cross River State, Nigeria
Authors: Ukpe Udeme Henrietta , Ewung Bethel Fidelis
Published: February 2024

A typical challenge for over 65 percent of the Nigerian population living in rural areas and surviving through agricultural activities is access to credit facilities needed to procure technological inputs that trigger productivity. This has consequently limited the capacity of small and micro agro-enterprises - especially poultry enterprises - to develop. Therefore, this study was undertaken to analyse factors affecting the demand and participation of agro-entrepreneurs, particularly poultry farmers, in formal and informal credit markets in Cross River State, Nigeria. Purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select 295 poultry farmers. Data were collected for the 2022 production cycle using structured questionnaires and interviews, and the results were analysed using a multinomial logit model. The results revealed that socioeconomic and enterprise characteristics such as educational level, gender, farm capacity, poultry training, and household assets were significant factors that influenced the participant's choice of credit institution in the study area. Also, favourable terms, outstanding loans and easier access to loans were the institutional factors that affected credit demand. Training and workshop programmes should be organised by government and corporate financial institutions to encourage participation in credit markets so that the abundant available funds can be efficiently utilised in the production process.

This study focused on the impact of substrates shape on the heat radiationcharacteristics of a coating made of titanium carbide, TiC, deposited over a graphite basis. The TiC coating emissivity increase by 29.65% at 1050?C and by 37.45% at 1650?C when graphite, substrate surface roughness, was decreased from 3.01 ?m to 0.73 ?m. Simultaneously, the TiC coating?s spectrum emissivity on the graphite substrate indicated the material?s clear characteristic heat radiation. These findings demonstrated that the coating and substrate interacted to determine the coating?s heat radiation properties. A simplified coating model created to consider how the shape of the substrate affects the coating?s ability to conduct heat. Ultimately, the rough form of the substrate led to a decrease in the coating?s heat radiation characteristics and an enhancement in energy loss at the interface.

Published: February 2024

The complexity of the fracture network, formed by the interaction of hydraulic fractures and natural fractures during hydraulic fracturing, is one of the important criteria for guiding shale gas field production. In this study, we selected the deep shale of the Longmaxi formation as the object of study. Through indoor hydraulic fracturing experiments and fracture 3-D reconstruction technology, we conducted a quantitative study on the complexity of the fracture network created by the influence of hydraulic and natural fractures interacting with each other during hydraulic fracturing. The results show that the fractal dimensions, average connection numbers of topological structure branches, and relative lengths of fracture intersections for hydraulic fractures in 10 groups of specimens are 1.93-2.27, 0-1.143, and 1.02-1.98, respectively.

Published: February 2024

In this study, a stress-damage-seepage coupling model is established to explore the water inrush mechanism of mining workface. The laws of water loss in aquifers, damage evolution and seepage distributions of overlying strata are analyzed in the process of mining. The stress concentration phenomenon is obvious at both ends of goaf. The damage zone presents the characteristics of 'saddle shape' with higher at two ends and lower at the middle of goaf. The permeability decreases in the compressive stress zone around the goaf, and increases in the tensile stress zone. The increase of leakage affects the water resource conservation and mining safety.
Temperature control of porous media burner based on advanced reduced instruction machine: PID algorithm and embedded processor
Authors: Guan Jingtao
Published: February 2024

Against the backdrop of the rapid development of metal smelting processes, the requirements for reaction temperature control are gradually increasing, and the temperature control system for porous media burners based on advanced simplified instruction embedded processors has been developed. In this burner, the fuel is heated using a porous medium for conduction, which generates various complex data during operation and can overload conventional algorithms. To reduce the difficulty of algorithm operation, this study introduced an adaptive database into the proportional integral differential algorithm to classify data and establish a load balancer in the advanced reduced instruction algorithm, which is convenient for embedded processing of large amounts of data. To avoid the algorithm falling into local optima, this study merged the digital output module with it during temperature control to generate a fusion system. Finally, this study conducted experiments on the Porbu dataset and compared it with three systems such as generalized predictive control to verify the superiority of the fusion system. The temperature control accuracy of the four systems was 99.7%, 97.2%, 96.1%, and 93.5%, respectively, indicating that the efficiency of the fusion system performs the best among the four systems. The energy consumption of this system was 0.038 kWh, which performs best among the four systems. The experimental results indicate that the fusion system proposed in this study has the strongest performance and is suit-able for precise temperature control of porous media burners.
Opinions of the members of teams for protection in secondary schools on the quality of in-service training programmes in relation to bullying prevention and intervention
Authors: Grmusa Adrijana
Published: February 2024

In-service training programmes are an important mechanism for improving
teachers? competencies in bullying prevention and intervention within the
education system of Serbia. Evaluation of the quality of these programmes is
mainly based on the registration of participants? first impressions after
the completion of training programmes, but there is a lack of reliable data
on their effectiveness, especially on whether such training programmes
provide adequate teacher training on bullying prevention and intervention.
Therefore, this paper presents the results of research aimed at finding out
what members of school Teams for Protection think about the quality of these
programmes after they had the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in
practice. The research used a semi-structured interview with three questions
to collect data on the content of the programmes, interviewees? satisfaction
with the quality of the programmes, their opinions on the perceived
shortcomings of the programmes, and suggestions for improvement. For the
research, 42 members of the Teams for Protection in 18 Belgrade secondary
schools were interviewed. In processing the data, qualitative thematic
analysis of the content was conducted, based on statements of the
interviewees. The research findings suggest that the programmes, taken as a
whole, do not provide participants with the necessary competencies to deal
with bullying, although they are potentially effective in some aspects. The
implications of this research relate to the need to change the content of
the programmes and human resources capacities for their application, as well
as to improve the criteria for their accreditation.

Published: February 2024

I studien undersøker vi hvordan grensekryssingen mellom arbeidet og styrerutdanningen bidrar til kvalifisering, sosialisering og subjektivering i rollen som leder i barnehager. Det teoretiske rammeverket er Biestas (2014) forståelse av kvalifisering, sosialisering og subjektivering som utdanningers tre funksjonsområder. Studien bygger på kvalitative data og presenterer analyse av eksamensoppgaver fra to kull ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet (n = 38). Resultatene viser at deltakerne ble mer enn faglig kvalifisert; de ble sosialisert inn i en lederrolle i studiet som ble overført til praksis i barnehagen. Deltakerne utviklet subjektivering i form av autonomi som leder overfor de øvrige ansatte og eiernivået, og de følte seg mer rustet til å håndtere spenninger, utfordringer og oppgaver. Studien viser betydningen av at utdanninger fremmer sosialiseringog subjektivering gjennom en kombinasjon av faglig påfyll, veksling mellom kontekster og diskusjoner samt arbeidsplassbasert gjennomføring av mellomarbeid. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
National education for leaders in early childhood education – an arena for qualification, socialization, and subjectification
The study examines in which way border crossing between work and education contributes to qualification, socialization, and subjectification for leaders in early childhood education. The theoretical framework used in this article is Biesta’s (2014) understanding of qualification, socialization, and subjectivation as education’s three main domains. The study is based on qualitative data and presents an analysis of exam papers from two cohorts at UiT The Arctic University of Norway (n = 38). The results showed that the participants became more than professionally qualified, they were socialized into a role as a leader during the program. The participants developed subjectification in the form of autonomy as leaders in relation to the other employees and they felt more equipped to handle tensions, challenges and tasks associated with their position. The study shows the importance of education promoting socialization and subjectification through the combination of lectures, the crossing between contexts, discussions among peers, as well as workplace-based implementation of intermediate work.

Coffee berry borer pest (CBB) is one of the main pests that has a significant impact on coffee production and quality. In Indonesia, the utilization of plant-based pesticides has promising prospects in controlling CBB. The purpose of this study is to provide information on the impact of different types of plant pesticide on CBB mortality through a measurable algorithm analysis. A literature search was performed using Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Researchgate, and ScienceDirect. A linear mixed model (LMM) was applied to evaluate the effect of botanical pesticide application on the mortality rate of CBB. A total of 14 plant families were included in meta-regression analysis for estimating the effect size of each family. The average effect of pesticide exposure to CBB analyzed using LMM was 0.039 which mean that botanical pesticidal exposure has significant effect on the mortality rate of CBB (P<0.05). The results of this study suggested that the use of botanical insecticide especially derived from plants belonging to Family Anacardiaceae was significantly effective in controlling CBB.

Türkiye’de Odun Dışı Orman Ürünleri (ODOÜ) Sektörü dış ticaret açısından ihracat fazlası veren bir yapıdadır. Ege Bölgesi Türkiye`de ODOÜ üretiminde önemli bir yere sahip olmasının yanında, ihracat merkezi olarak da işlev görmektedir. ODOÜ üretimi, işlenmesi ve pazarlanması bakımından diğer bölgelerimize göre stratejik üstünlüğe sahiptir. Ege Bölgesinde ODOÜ açısından öne çıkan ürünlerden biri olarak çam fıstığı aynı zamanda kırsal alanda üreticiler için gıda ve gelir kaynağıdır. Bu çalışmada Bergama Kozak Yöresinde çam fıstığı işleme tesislerinin mevcut durumları incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda sekiz adet çam fıstığı işleme tesisi sorumlularıyla yüz yüze görüşme yapılmıştır. Öncelikle çam fıstığı işleme iş akışı üzerinde durulmuş ve iş akışı süreci ortaya konulmuştur. İşletmelere ilişkin genel bilgiler, işletme fonksiyonlarının varlığı, kalite yönetim belgelerinin olup olmadığı, makine varlıkları, hammadde tedarik kanalları, hammadde alınan yöreler ve satışların dağılımı vb. konularda yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen verileri özetleyerek mevcut yapıyı ortaya koymak amacıyla kullanılan betimleyici istatistiklerden frekans ve yüzde yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmada; Bergama Kozak yöresinde faaliyet gösteren işletmelerin büyük ölçüde KOBİ niteliğinde olduğu ve üretim süreçlerini sadece siparişlere göre planladıkları görülmüştür. Bergama Kozak Yöresinde faaliyet gösteren işleme tesislerinde istihdam edilen çalışan sayısının, ünite sayısının ve kalite belgelerinin ciddi oranda azaldığı görülmüştür. İşleme tesislerinin yeterli hammadde bulamaması durumunun ise devam eden bir sorun olarak ön plana çıktığı görülmüştür. Genel anlamda işletmeler işgücü tedarikinde de sorun yaşamakta ve özellikle işe uygun nitelikte işgücü bulamamaktadır. Bu nedenle nitelikli işgücü yetiştirmek üzere çam fıstığı işleme tesislerinin yöredeki kurum ve kuruluşlarla iş birliği yapması önerilmektedir. İşletmelerin özellikle kadın işgücünün istihdama katılımını teşvik etmek amacıyla organize edilmesi öncelikli görülmektedir. Ayrıca, işleme farklılıkları nedeniyle oluşabilecek kalite kayıplarının önlenmesi ve katma değeri yüksek ürünlerin geliştirilmesine yönelik çalışmalar bu alanda faaliyet gösteren aktörlerin gelir kayıplarını en aza indirmede bir derece katkı sağlayabilecektir. Üretimdeki düşüşe bağlı olumsuzlukları azaltmada Bergama Kozak çam fıstığı coğrafi işaret korumasının ulusal ve uluslararası düzeyde bilinilirliğinin artırılmasına yönelik girişimlerde bulunulmalıdır.
Kozak Yöresinde Fıstıkçamı (Pinus pinea L.) Geleneksel Kozalak Hasadı ve Kozalak İndiricilerin Profili

Published: February 2024

Türkiye’de fıstıkçamı (Pinus pinea L.) kozalak hasadı geleneksel hasat yöntemleri ile gerçekleştirilmektedir. Fıstıkçamı kozalak hasadını gerçekleştiren kişilere “kozalak indirici” ya da “çam indirici” adı verilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Bergama ilçesi Kozak Yöresinde günümüzde devam eden “çam indiriciliği” işini gerçekleştiren aktörlerin sosyo-ekonomik özelliklerinin tespiti ve gerçekleştirdikleri işe yönelik görüş ve düşüncelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, Kozak Yöresinde fıstıkçamı kozalağı hasadında indirici olarak çalışan 33 kişi ile yüz yüze anket yapılmıştır. Kozalak indiricilerin sosyo-demografik yapıları, indiricilik işini kimden öğrendikleri çam indirme ekiplerinin kimlerden oluştuğu ve görev dağılımı, hasat süresi, zamanı ve deneyimleri, fıstıkçamı ormanlarının konukçuluk yaptığı böceklerin görülme durumları sorgulanmıştır. Çalışmada, geleneksel olarak yapılan ve tehlikeli bir iş olduğu belirtilen indiriciliğin yörede kendi imkanları ile uzmanlaşmış ekipler tarafından yapıldığı, indirici takımlarının genellikle 4-5 kişiden oluştuğu ve takımların oluşmasında arkadaşlık ve akrabalık faktörünün öne çıktığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca Kozak Yöresinde indiricilerin önemli bir kısmının aile bireylerinden çam indiricilik işini öğrendikleri anlaşılmıştır. İndiricilerin yaklaşık yarısının çiftçilik dışında farklı sektörlerde çalıştığı ya da emekli olduğu ve ikinci işinin indiricilik olduğu görülmektedir. İndiricilik yüksek riskli bir iş olmasına karşılık kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanımının yaygın olmaması iş kazası risklerini artırmaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda; orman-insan ilişkileri bakımından önemli bir değer olan ve geleneksel bir meslek olan çam indiriciliğin mensuplarının gün geçtikçe azalma eğiliminde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İndiriciliğin kültürel bir değer olarak korunmasının yanında hayat boyu öğrenme çerçevesinde meslek mensuplarının gelişimine katkı sağlanması gerekmektedir. Bu faaliyetlerin kuşaktan kuşağa aktarılmasını garanti altına almak için yerel kurumlar başta olmak üzere ulusal ve uluslararası düzeyde girişimlerde bulunulmalıdır.

Instagram has developed into a media tool in political dynamics. Political content on Instagram can build opinions for media audiences (followers) who access it, so followers become strategic targets for receiving political messages through constructed content. This study aims to describe the followers' reception of Anies Baswedan's image as a 2024 presidential candidate on the @pinterpolitik account. This research method uses a qualitative approach with an interpretative paradigm. Data analysis is used to conclude the reception of @pinterpolitik account followers. The data collection technique uses the in-depth interview method. Informants were selected based on the @pinterpolitik followers who are university students. Reception analysis is used to determine the implications of research subjects for messages in mass media. Stuart Hall's decoding and encoding theory divides followers' positions into three categories to find reception patterns: dominant-hegemonic, negotiation, and opposition. The results of this study show that informants who are followers are in a dominant hegemonic position in receiving information about Anies Baswedan on the @pinterpolitik account. This tendency to gather information from the account is based on their trust in the independence of the @pinterpolitik account in disseminating information. Moreover, every information disseminated has valid and accountable sources and data. Based on the assessment based on information on the @pinterpolitik account, Anies Baswedan's image is positively assessed as an intellectual individual, organized rhetoric, narrating according to data, and a religious individual.
The Representation of Islam in Alice Walker’s Everyday Use
Authors: M. Hussein Khalid
Published: February 2024

The present study explores the image of Islam as portrayed in Alice Walker’s Everyday Use. The study seeks to examine the nature of the interplay between Islam and the local community of the story in terms of the way fundamental Islam is received and accommodated within the context of conflicting worldviews. Walker’s Everyday Use unfolds, seamlessly, a portrait that captures the way Fundamental Islam is introduced and received, the Muslim community and its ethos, and the Muslim Individuals as torn between their commitment to Islamic tradition and the spell of trendy Black social movements to which they belong. Walker’s Everyday Use also sheds light on some threads of connection between Islam and Black Americans at the time. For all the clumsiness in his manner, ‘Hakim a barber’, the Black Muslim, remains committed to core Islamic values like offering traditional Islamic greetings of peace, abstaining from eating pork, and adopting the Islamic attitude of showing courtesy to women. Furthermore, the Muslim community in Walker’s Everyday Use is conjectured through the Christian narrator’s eyes as the epitome of African-American values of pride and empowerment.
(Im)Possibility of Translating Prosody in Classical Arabic Poetry: Muallaqat as a Case Study
Authors: Al Jabri Shatha
Published: February 2024

The translation of poetry has always been an issue for literary translators. They are of two prominent opinions: those who advocate rendering poetry into poetry while considering all prosodic elements, such as meter, and rhyme. The other group, however, is concerned with translating sense without considering prosody, particularly rhyme, meter, or foot, mainly when the translator’s competence and experience are not that advanced. This article investigates the translation of a selection of Muallaqat in The Muallaqat for Millennials (2020) into English to determine whether the translations retained the sound features in the target text (TT). It differs from other studies as it focuses on the form rather than the content since Muallaqat is regarded as one of the glorious productions of classical Arabic poetry with a unique form and particular prosodic features: rhyme and meter. The article concluded that the translations failed to capture the prosodic features of the original as they were barely concerned with conveying the meaning literally into the Target language (TT). In other words, the translations reflected the meaning as translators primarily relied on literal translation and free verse to convey the meaning. However, it is crucial to prioritize the prosodic features, especially the sounds, when translating Muallaqat. Therefore, new strategies must be developed to capture the auditory essence of the original work in the target language.
An Overview Concerning the Monologue and Stand-up Comedy
Authors: Adnan Ahmed Aladhami Noorulhuda
Published: February 2024

A theatrical production is usually seen as a blending of acting, dancing, singing, and spoken conversation, known as musical theatre. Furthermore, a musical’s storyline and emotional elements, which include humour, sorrow, love, and wrath, are communicated through words, music, dance, and technical aspects of the performance. ‎This paper explores the similarities and differences between two dramatic performances: stand-up comedy and monologue. The significance of this paper is to examine the gap in dramaturgical history to link between different forms of performances concerning the past and the present time, such as the link between stand-up comedy and a monologue. The quest has provided a vibrant resemblance to say that stand-up comedy is a natural evolution of a monologue presented with modern styles and ideas. The performer, whether a comedian or monologist, is mostly perceived to express a performer’s thoughts clearly, though occasionally directly addressing another character or spectators. The show in both performances requires a rhetorical act, where a crowd interface is used as part of their set or practice. Finally, a solo performer can be called a monologist or stand-up comedian, whether found on stage, television, or written verse, who presents their art to entertain or deliver a definite message to an active or passive spectator. The content usually takes the shape of a song or sarcastic speech that may start with a personal memory of the presenter, considered a public or common issue in society.

En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados sobre el origen continental materno de las principales localidades de la provincia de Tierra del Fuego (TDF): Río Grande (RG) y Ushuaia (USH), mediante la tipificación de haplogrupos mitocondriales (Hg) de 333 participantes. La estimación de los Hg se realizó mediante PCR-APLP y secuenciación de la región HV1, evidenciando una significativa frecuencia de Hg maternos de origen americano a nivel provincial (64,9%). A nivel local, se observó una mayor proporción de linajes autóctonos en RG (75,1%) respecto de USH (57,5%). A partir de la información genealógica de los participantes, se evidenció que el origen geográfico más frecuente tanto de los participantes como de los ancestros, es la región Centro de Argentina. Las diferencias observadas entre dos localidades que distan a sólo 200 km, en una provincia de baja densidad demográfica, ponen en evidencia una vez más la importancia de conocer la información genealógica de los participantes, así como la historia fundacional y las actividades económicas de cada localidad que han motivado la llegada de migrantes, para una adecuada contextualización y comprensión de la actual composición genética de la provincia de TDF.
