Published: June 2024

This project discusses the development of silver and graphene from waste materials such as used X-ray films and drained cassava starch. This silver was extracted from X-ray film through a stripping process where all the elements were bleached off the film after which the sludge in the solution was allowed to settle before siphoning the water and finally heating the sludge. The graphene was developed from starch drained from cassava water, the cassava water was collected, sieved, and dried to collect the starch, after which Conc. H2SO4 was added to the starch to convert it to graphene. Hence, the SEM and EDS analysis of the extracted metals were carried out to determine the morphology, structure, and elemental composition. These analyses confirmed the extraction of silver and graphene from wastes as described above. Thus, these wastes were used to mitigate their extraction from their ore, which in turn would reduce exploration of its ore thereby conserving these raw materials.

Authors: Rasheed Shagufta , Tabasam Nazia , Anwar Jawad , Jabeen Saria
Published: June 2024

The agricultural sector holds a crucial position in Pakistan's economy, contributing 22.9% to the gross domestic product (GDP). This sector serves as a primary source of food, income, and employment, especially for the rural population, which constitutes the majority. Pakistan, ranked as the 5th most populous nation globally, has about 34.7% of its people residing in urban areas, while the rest live in rural regions, relying heavily on agriculture for sustenance. Various factors of production play pivotal roles in agriculture, and among them, credit emerges as a crucial input for enhancing crop production and augmenting the income of rural households. Access to credit is essential for implementing modern technologies and utilizing improved agricultural inputs, ultimately boosting productivity. Despite its significance, providing credit to smallholder farmers poses challenges for financial institutions. The inherent risk associated with agricultural production, including factors like seasonality, irregular cash flows, and the vulnerability to natural disasters and crop diseases, makes it a less attractive investment for financial institutions. Limited access to credit is primarily attributed to imperfect financial markets, where information asymmetry results in credit rationing. Many farmers, particularly those in remote areas, face difficulties in accessing credit institutes. Institutional factors such as corruption, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, political stability, and the rule of law further hinder farmers' ability to secure credit. Consequently, ensuring easy access to credit facilities for the farming community is imperative for addressing these challenges. For Pakistan and other developing nations, promoting agricultural productivity requires tackling these issues and facilitating seamless access to credit for farmers. By addressing the impediments in the financial system and enhancing institutional factors, nations can foster an environment where farmers can readily access credit, thereby improving productivity and ensuring food security.

Authors: Abdelkadir Kedir Seid , Berhe Gebretsadik , Bsrat Abrha , Yohannes Gebremedhin
Published: June 2024

Background: Rabies is a deadly viral disease transmitted through the saliva of infected animals via bites or scratches. It can be prevented through vaccination and by eliminating the disease from reservoir populations. Domestic dogs are the main source of transmission in many Asian and African countries. In Ethiopia, rabies is still a significant public health problem, with an estimated annual death rate of 10,000. Lack of awareness is a major obstacle to prevention and control efforts, especially in endemic areas.Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of the community in Enderta District regarding rabies disease.Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted using multi-stage random sampling to select kebele and households to be included in the study. The required data was collected through face-to-face interviews using pretested and structured questionnaires from 591 households. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS Windows version 20. Descriptive statistics techniques and multivariate analysis were used to manage the data.Results: A total of 591 participants, of whom 73.1% were female, responded to the survey, yielding a response rate of 96.3%. Of the total participants, 585 (99%) reported having heard about rabies. Moreover, 6.3% of the study participants reported having experienced rabies in their lifetime. Almost half of the study participants (49.2%) agreed that all dogs are dangerous. Additionally, the majority of the participants (50.4%) agreed that stray dogs are dangerous. Despite this perception, 71.6% of the participants reported that their children actively touch dogs. Finally, the odds of individuals who follow informal reading and writing practices encountering rabies were found to be 60% less likely (AOR = 0.4, 95% CI, (0.24-0. 81).Conclusion and recommendation: The study indicates that education, religion, and media exposure have an impact on attitudes towards rabies, family size is linked to knowledge, and dog bites are linked to practice. The health and agricultural offices in Enderta Woreda should work together to eliminate rabid dogs. Conducting a future cross-sectional study and awareness campaign in schools, churches, and through various media outlets can also increase awareness of rabies.

Published: June 2024

The study of drying air characteristics of fish flakes (Bagrus bayad) has been studied under solar drying and open direct sun drying methods at the Department of Food Processing Engineering, University of El Imam El Mhadi - Kosti, Sudan. During June- August, 2022 and June- August 2023.An indirect natural convective solar dryer consisting of a solar air heater with flat plate concentrator and drying chamber with air duct to connect drying chamber to the solar collector were used in the experiments. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effect of solar dryer and open direct sun drying methods on the drying air temperatures and final moisture content of fish flakes. The results of the experiments revealed that, there were a significant effect of solar dryer in increasing temperatures of the drying air and reducing its relative humidity, so that its holding capacity to carry water from moist fish was increased which result in lowering final moisture content of fish flakes when compared to the other samples of the same fish dried with open-direct sun. The average heated air temperature was 50.22oC at noon, while the average ambient air temperature was 37.92oC at noon with the significant differences (P ≤ 0.05). The average heated air RH% was decreased (22.84%) when compared with ambient and exhausted air RH% which was found to be 26.24% and 29.07% for ambient and exhausted air RH% respectively. with the significant differences (P ≤ 0.05). Drying of fish began with an initial moisture contents of 383.87% (d.b.) for both solar and direct sun drying experiments and end with the final moisture content of 53.51% (d.b.) and 208.6% (d.b.) for solar dryer and direct sun drying respectively. The high moisture contents of fish dried with direct sun may result in spoilage and deteriorated the fish during the storage periods.

Published: June 2024

The content of five heavy metals (zinc, copper, iron, cadmium and lead) in muscles and skin has been studied for one most consumed fish species (Auxis rochei, Risso, 1810) from the Mediterranean Sea coast of Libya Misurata. The metals content of muscles and skin were determined by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) (Agilent 200 Series AA-Agilent Technologies, Assembly Fume Extraction, Part No.: 210190000, Serial No.: MY14520002). The current study, it has been shown that the skin of Auxis Rochei has registered the highest concentration of Zn, while Fe was found to be highest in the muscles. On the other hand, the lowest contents of Cd and Pb were recorded in both muscles and skin. The arrangement of metallic elements in the studied tissues followed the following sequence: iron > copper > zinc > lead > cadmium. However, in the skin tissue, the sequence was reversed with zinc first, followed by iron > copper > lead > cadmium. The values obtained from metal detection in the muscles and skin of fish in the current study were below the limits allowed by FAO/WHO and EFSA. Conclusions The current results show that fish is one of the most indicative factors for estimating trace metals pollution in marine systems. Therefore, monitoring and analyzing fish populations is necessary to safeguard both the environment and public health.

Published: June 2024

It was Zi-Jian Cai and the satellite operators from China, India and USA who led the world people in television to make the electromagnetic unification of four forces, and altogether achieved many important progressions, such as the spatially localized electromagnetic mass structure, the electromagnetic orienting force, the electromagnetic multi-hairy structure, the non-relativity of ideal time and space, the electromagnetic curve and red-shift for gravity, the stable strong force from electromagnetic multi-hairy hybrid, the weak processes from hybrid split and oscillatory pair of bound electrical fields of neutrino, and so on. Especially, it was an important supplement to general relativity of Einstein by the spatially localized electromagnetic mass structure and electromagnetic orienting force, unifying the gravitational force with electromagnetic force, while explaining the neutrino of small mass moving at light speed. Due to the mistake of Einstein in explaining the essence of mass, it would in turn mislead the mathematical field unification later in physics related to mass. Besides, it was unfortunately also a mistake of Einstein on concept of relativity for ideal time and space, which was proven to manifest as non-relativity. On the other hand, it was explained the Planck quantum as the dependence of photo energy only on frequency due to the identical strength of electrical hair of electron and emitted photo, supporting the classical quantum theory. It was herein accomplished the electromagnetic unification of four forces, supporting Planck and rectifying Einstein.

Published: June 2024

Employee innovation is a crucial aspect of organizations in the current era. Therefore, studying the factors influencing individual innovation is vital and unavoidable. Undoubtedly, job satisfaction is a significant variable in management sciences. Nowadays, all organizations are interconnected with technology. This research explores the relationship between job satisfaction and individual innovation, including its components and the moderating role of technostress. This study, in terms of purpose, is applied, and in terms of data collection method, it is a descriptive survey. Data collection tools included the Technostress Inventory by Tarafdar and colleagues (2007), Janssen's Individual Innovation Questionnaire (2000), and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Spector (1994). The validity and reliability of these questionnaires were confirmed. The sample size for this study was 215, and data analysis was performed using SPSS and SMART-PLS software. Job satisfaction has a significant and positive relationship with individual innovation, idea generation, idea promotion, and idea implementation. Technostress moderates the relationship between job satisfaction and individual innovation, idea generation, and idea promotion. However, technostress does not play a moderating role in the relationship between job satisfaction and idea implementation. Conclusion: Based on the results, organizations should take necessary measures to increase job satisfaction and reduce employee technostress.
Development Finance Models and Sustainable Growth of Nigeria: A Granger Causality Approach
Authors: Erhijakpor A.E.O. , Enebelli I.A.
Published: June 2024

One of the primary goals of policy makers is to build an economy that is relatively stable. As such, to ensure that the economy is relatively stable, policy makers embark on series of financial (economic) reforms. However, even with the concerted efforts to improve the state of the Nigerian economy, the Nigeria is still under-developed. Hence, the paper aimed at examining the effects of development finance on sustainable growth of Nigeria using the granger causality approach. The development finance measures are private sector credits, broad money supply (BMS), Interest rate volatilities, and trade openness while sustainable growth measured by RGDP. The study spanned from 1989 to 2021. The study reported that, both private credits and broad money supply bi-granger cause sustainable growth but trade openness only cause sustainable growth. However, Interest rate volatilities did not influence sustainable growth nor growth did. Hence, the paper concludes that, both private sector credits and broad money supply precedes growth just as growth precedes both private sector credits and broad money supply while trade openness is a precondition for economic growth. As such, it is imperative for the apex regulatory body to instruct Nigerian banks to give more credits to the private sector. Lastly, the efforts should be made to improve the degree to which the Nigerian economy is open to trade. Lastly, the rising high cost of borrowing should be reduced.

Since 1983 the Finnish Broadcasting Company, Yle, has served the Deaf and Hard of hearing (D/HH) audience by providing subtitles for TV programmes in Finnish and Swedish. In 2011 the Act regarding subtitling and audio description services came into effect stipulating public service TV channels (i.e. Yle) to offer subtitles for D/HH in all TV programmes (with certain exceptions) by the end of the year 2016. For commercial TV channels the stipulation is less demanding: only 50% of programme hours.
The data presented in this article is based on a survey – first in this dimension in Finland – where the quality and accessibility criteria of subtitling provided by public service and commercial TV channels are examined. Among the 114 persons that submitted the query 91% claimed to use subtitles to improve speech perception to various extent, and for 37% of respondents sub-titling was vital. Most respondents (69%) appreciated subtitles that render speech faithfully; 71% preferred subtitles where colours were used to differentiate speakers. Conventions between different channels vary as well as accessibility to the subtitling services provided by commercial channels.
”Fuck sådant.” Snabba cash -romaanin monikielisistä voima- ja haukkumasanoista sekä niiden suomen-, saksan- ja englanninkielisistä käännöksistä
Authors: Enell-Nilsson Mona , Hjort Minna
Published: June 2024

In this article, we analyze multilingual swearwords and insults in Jens Lapidus’ novel Snabba cash (2006) in order to discover how these character- and milieu-constructing colloquialisms have been translated into Finnish, German and English. We are particularly curious about whether the multilingualism and taboo language of the original are retained or normalized in the translations, and whether the solutions match the instructions of the author, which were exceptionally also available. The results show that both multilingualism and taboo language are important features that are mostly reconstructed in the translations although the solutions vary on the basis of language, form and semantics.
Code-switching and non-standard language in the Finnish translations of African and Caribbean novels from the 1950s to the 2000s
Authors: Nurminen Laura
Published: June 2024

In African and Caribbean literatures, code-switching and non-standard language are commonly used for various purposes, and the varieties of language used are often both geographically and culturally bound. Because of this, translating an African or a Caribbean novel into another language can be very challenging. Depending on the different techniques used by the authors in creating their novels, translators can also use a variety of strategies in dealing with the cultural reality embedded in code-switching and non-standard language.
The purpose of this article is to analyse and discuss the techniques used by African and Caribbean authors to incorporate code-switching and non-standard language into their novels, and the strategies employed in conveying these features in Finnish. My aim is to illustrate the range of strategies and to discuss their possible reasons and potential effects. My analysis covers a selection of five African and Caribbean novels and their Finnish translations from the 1950s to the 2000s. This is a preliminary overview of my doctoral dissertation, in which I examine different strategies employed by Finnish translators, how they have changed over time and how they could be developed in the future from the point of view of cultural integrity.
Kansainvälistä vuoropuhelua venäläisessä käännöstutkimuksessa
Authors: Kemppanen Hannu
Published: June 2024

This study examines the dialogue between foreign and Russian translation theorists in Russian translation studies literature. The research question is approached by analyzing, firstly, the proportion of articles by foreign authors in conference proceedings, and, secondly, the sources of references – which authors and theoretical approaches from abroad are referred to. The material consists of the proceedings of the Feodorov readings conferences held in St. Petersburg from 2000 through 2009. The results of the analysis show that Russian scholars prefer referring to domestic translation theorists. The cited foreign scholars mainly include eminent translation theorists (Gideon Toury, Theo Hermans, Mona Baker, etc.). Some citations are related to the lack of research in a particular field in Russia, e.g. gender studies. Reference literature from foreign sources more often deals with linguistics, lexicography and literary or cultural research than with translation theory. As far as the origins of the proceeding contributions are concerned, the international dialogue is represented mostly by researchers from neighboring countries – the former Soviet Republics and countries of Eastern Europe. The largest number of contributions outside this area comes from Italy and the United States.
”Epähyvä käännös mutta kun en parempaakaan keksinyt”: huomioita englannin pejoratiivisen non-prefiksin suomentamisesta
Authors: Mäittälä-Kauppila Sari
Published: June 2024

This article discusses the use of the English negative prefix non- and its pejorative meaning in newspaper columns, with the focus on the use of Finnish negative prefixes epä- and ei- versus explicitation as a possible translation for conveying the pejorative aspect of non-. The material for this case study consists of two English-language newspaper columns and their Finnish translations produced by students of English translation at the University of Helsinki, as well as of the students’ commentaries on the texts, their replies to questionnaires and their motivations for the constructions used in the translations. The theoretical background of the study relates to theories on textual genres, on the concept of coherence and on a multifractorial definition of irony. The methods used include a linguistic response analysis, a contrastive grammar analysis and a semi-structured questionnaire survey. The students, for example, reflected on the acceptability of neoformations with the Finnish negative prefixes as genuine expressions in the Finnish language and assessed the strength and shortcomings of explicitative translations. The results indicate that the translator’s idiolect is a major factor determining the choice of the Finnish equivalent for the pejorative prefix non-.
Early Stages of Interpreting Use in Estonia
Authors: Sibul Karin
Published: June 2024

This article aims to provide some insight into the history of interpreting in Estonia. The topic has not been studied before, and my research helps to preserve the fast-disappearing oral heritage of the unwritten history of interpreting in Estonia. The present article covers two periods: 1918–1940 and 1944–1991. The first period is studied through an analysis of 14 editions of memoirs by Estonian diplomats and the minutes from the peace negotiations with Russia in 1919. The research question is whether Estonia as a young state used interpreting to increase its symbolic capital as defined by Pierre Bourdieu. The second period is studied through a corpus of 33 interviews. The question addressed is to what extent interpreting was used. This research led to the discovery that Estonian–Russian–Estonian interpreting was used in various state bodies. In addition, for about 60 years theatre performances were simultaneously interpreted from Estonian into Russian, while the 1980 Olympic Regatta marked the use of Estonian–English as a conference language combination. Research findings for both periods lead to the conclusion that people who operated as interpreters were multi-professionals. No interpreter training was available until the Olympic Regatta.
Autenttiset elementit tulkkauksen opetuksessa opiskelijan näkökulmasta: tulkkina kansainväliselle kohdeyleisölle
Authors: Viljanmaa Anu , Von Wolff Stuart D
Published: June 2024

Interpreter training traditionally requires internalisation of listening/speaking skills, accurate memory recall, and conceptual thinking and organisational skills, as well as the ability to straddle different cultures and languages. Today’s teacher must consider two additional challenges: the increasing role of English as a Lingua Franca [ELF], and the question of when and how to introduce authentic elements into interpreter training. In our article, we report on our innovative practical experiences incorporating, at an earlier stage, authentic interpreting exercises and settings into our curriculum, whilst grappling with the realities of an audience comprised of ELF speakers. Over two courses, we had our intermediate-level students interpret consecutively for 24 international ELF students who truly did not understand Finnish. We consider our student interpreters’ motivation and identity in this regard, and present our mainly qualitative analysis of our students’ learning diaries and online surveys, noting implications for changes in interpreter training.
Sota, käännöskulttuurit ja toimijuus
Authors: Kujamäki Pekka
Published: June 2024

In military encounters with the enemy or with brothers-in-arms, mediation practices with translation and interpreting (T&I) are developed that can be described as translation cultures. The concept was coined by Erich Prunc in 1997 to denote a set of socially determined norms, conventions, expectations and values that constrain the T&I activities in a given society or institution. Through this definition, Prunc’s concept creates a link to official language mediation policies as well as to personal agencies of those involved as interpreters and translators in the military operations on the front, in the headquarters or in the POW camps. After a short overview of available studies on this topic, this article offers first drafts of the military translation cultures in World War II in Finland. It draws on some of the most recent publications on the two Finnish military conflicts against the Soviet Union (the Winter War in 1939–1941 and the Continuation War in 1941–1944) and on preliminary research data from archived military records.
