Published: September 2024

У раду се анализирају ставови студената англистике у Босни и Херцеговини о преводу индиректних говорних чинова на матерњи језик. Индиректни говорни чинови специфични су као културолошки феномен којим се постиже језички испољена учтивост и својственији су англоамеричкој култури, док балканске земље више преферирају директније видове комуникације. Циљ радајесте да се испита како студенти англистике перципирају питање превођења индиректних говорних чинова, односно да ли је нужно држати се индиректне, најчешће упитне реченичне форме при преводу са језика извора на језик циљ или је неопходно укључити и неке друге параметре, као што је контекст, ниво формалности комуникације, релације међу саговорницима и слично. Да бисмо спровели ово истраживање, оформили смо електронски упитник који смо дистрибуирали студентима свих година студија и мастер програма у неколико универзитетских центара у Босни и Херцеговини. Закључак до ког смо дошли није једнообразан и не може се рећи да студенти англистике апсолутно и у свимконтекстима заговарају задржавање индиректне форме нити нужну експликацију илокуционе снаге индиректног исказа.

ABSTRACT

Environmental dissemination of multidrug resistance (MDR) has emerged as a global concern worldwide, particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh where the waste disposal system is inadequate. The present investigation was intended to comprehend the drug resistance and virulence pattern of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) in surface water samples of Bangladesh, which are adjoining poultry farms, agricultural fields, pharmaceutical companies, and textile industries. A total of 61 E. coli with ESBL production were identified from 16 water samples based on phenotypic and genotypic approaches. MDR was observed in 96% (n = 59) of the isolates with the multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index in the range of 0.3–0.9. The most prevalent MDR phenotype was non-susceptible to Ampicillin–Azithromycin–Nalidixic acid, with the highest percentage in the isolates from samples near agricultural fields. The frequencies of three ESBL resistance genes were detected as blaTEM (63%), blaCTX-M-13 (60%), and blaSHV (14%). Approximately 11% of the E. coli isolates were revealed as virulent gene positive, with the predominant one (eagg) specific for Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC). This study implies that the aquatic environment could be a potent means of exposure and transmission of bacterial antibiotic resistance and their genetic determinants in Bangladesh.
Rainfall dynamics of agro-climatic zones in the Green Revolution belt of India
Authors: Muruganandham Ashika , Singh Jitender Mohan 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
The Green Revolution belt of India, comprising Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh, has been a significant contributor to self-sufficiency in food grain production, thereby boosting the agricultural growth of the country. Agriculture, in general, is heavily reliant on monsoon patterns. In recent decades, climate change has led to shifts in these patterns, increasing the likelihood of extreme rainfall events such as droughts and floods. The present study analyses the annual and seasonal rainfall trends in the Green Revolution belt, categorised into agroclimatic zones, estimated by utilising the extensive repository of rainfall data obtained from the CHRS Data Portal pertaining to the geographical coordinates of each district. The study employs non-parametric Mann–Kendall and Sen's slope estimates to evaluate rainfall trends from 1983 to 2022. The findings indicate a discernible upward trend in rainfall across all zones except Zone 1 of Punjab, with the southwest monsoon emerging as the predominant source of precipitation in the area. The study highlights the need for water resource management in the Green Revolution belt as it is crucial for effectively harnessing the escalating rainfall in the region, particularly in view of concerns surrounding depleting groundwater levels.

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

Recently, biofilms, complex and dynamic structures of microorganisms, have been applied to enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR), a wastewater treatment configuration dependent on cyclic shifts between anaerobic and aerobic conditions. In this study, comparative metagenomics and metatranscriptomics were performed on biofilms collected from seven sites of a moving-bed-biofilm-reactor-based EBPR process. The aim was to examine the functional ecology of phosphorus-accumulating biofilms throughout a single EBPR cycle. Taxonomic profiling revealed high microbial diversity, stable throughout the EBPR cycle. The dominant phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) were identified as Candidatus accumulibacter, Candidatus phosphoribacter, and Candidatus lutibacillus. However, these did not show the highest transcriptional activities. Propionivibrio, a glycogen-accumulating organism, was the most transcriptionally active. Comparative analysis of biofilms from different EBPR stages showed a progressive change in metatranscriptome composition, correlating with nutrient removal. Analysis of differentially expressed genes in abundant PAOs revealed key genes associated with the uptake of phosphorus, degradation of glycogen, biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates, and acetate production. In conclusion, this study reveals that biofilms possess the capability to adapt to environmental fluctuations primarily through alterations in microbial gene expression activity and subsequent metabolic modulation, and dominant taxa may not necessarily exhibit the highest transcriptional activity in complex microbial communities.
The Impact of Different Types of Social Media Use on the Mental Health of UK Adults: Longitudinal Observational Study
Authors: Yu Yue , Dykxhoorn Jennifer , Plackett Ruth 
Published: September 2024

Background
Previous studies have explored the association between social media use and mental health among adolescents. However, few studies using nationally representative longitudinal data have explored this relationship for adults and how the effect might change depending on how people use social media.

Objective
This study investigated the longitudinal relationship between the frequency of viewing and posting on social media and mental health problems among UK adults.

Methods
This study included 15,836 adults (aged 16 years and older) who participated in Understanding Society, a UK longitudinal survey. Social media use was measured with questions about the frequency of viewing social media and posting on social media in Understanding Society Wave 11 (2019-2021). We explored viewing and posting separately, as well as a combined exposure: (1) high viewing, high posting; (2) high viewing, low posting; (3) low viewing, high posting; and (4) low viewing, low posting. Mental health problems were measured in Wave 12 (2020-2022) using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), a validated scale for identifying symptoms of common mental health problems, where higher scores indicated more mental health problems (0 to 36). Unadjusted and adjusted linear regression models were estimated for viewing social media and posting on social media, adjusting for the baseline GHQ score, gender, age, ethnicity, employment, and education. We found no evidence for effect modification by gender and age so overall associations were reported.

Results
In our adjusted models, we found no evidence of an association between the frequency of viewing social media and mental health problems in the following year. We found that adults who posted daily on social media had more mental health problems than those who never posted on social media, corresponding to a 0.35-point increase in GHQ score (β=0.35, 95% CI 0.01-0.68; P=.04). When we considered both social media behaviors, we found that those who frequently viewed and posted on social media scored 0.31 points higher on the GHQ score (β=0.31, 95% CI 0.04-0.58; P=.03) in the following year compared to those who rarely viewed or posted on social media.

Conclusions
We found that a high frequency of posting on social media was associated with increased mental health problems a year later. However, we did not find evidence of a similar association based on the frequency of viewing social media content. This provides evidence that some types of active social media use (ie, posting) have a stronger link to mental health outcomes than some types of passive social media use (viewing). These results highlighted that the relationship between social media use and mental health is complex, and more research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying these patterns to inform targeted interventions and policies.
Electronic Feedback Alone Versus Electronic Feedback Plus in-Person Debriefing for a Serious Game Designed to Teach Novice Anesthesiology Residents to Perform General Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Lee Allison , Goodman Stephanie , Chen Chen Miao , Landau Ruth , Chatterji Madhabi 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
EmergenCSim is a novel researcher-developed serious game (SG) with an embedded scoring and feedback tool that reproduces an obstetric operating room environment. The learner must perform general anesthesia for emergent cesarean delivery for umbilical cord prolapse. The game was developed as an alternative teaching tool because of diminishing real-world exposure of anesthesiology trainees to this clinical scenario. Traditional debriefing (facilitator-guided reflection) is considered to be integral to experiential learning but requires the participation of an instructor. The optimal debriefing methods for SGs have not been well studied. Electronic feedback is commonly provided at the conclusion of SGs, so we aimed to compare the effectiveness of learning when an in-person debrief is added to electronic feedback compared with using electronic feedback alone.

Objective
We hypothesized that an in-person debriefing in addition to the SG-embedded electronic feedback will provide superior learning than electronic feedback alone.

Methods
Novice first-year anesthesiology residents (CA-1; n=51) (1) watched a recorded lecture on general anesthesia for emergent cesarean delivery, (2) took a 26-item multiple-choice question pretest, and (3) played EmergenCSim (maximum score of 196.5). They were randomized to either the control group that experienced the electronic feedback alone (group EF, n=26) or the intervention group that experienced the SG-embedded electronic feedback and an in-person debriefing (group IPD+EF, n=25). All participants played the SG a second time, with instructions to try to increase their score, and then they took a 26-item multiple-choice question posttest. Pre- and posttests (maximum score of 26 points each) were validated parallel forms.

Results
For groups EF and IPD+EF, respectively, mean pretest scores were 18.6 (SD 2.5) and 19.4 (SD 2.3), and mean posttest scores were 22.6 (SD 2.2) and 22.1 (SD 1.6; F1,49=1.8, P=.19). SG scores for groups EF and IPD+EF, respectively, were—mean first play SG scores of 135 (SE 4.4) and 141 (SE 4.5), and mean second play SG scores of 163.1 (SE 2.9) and 173.3 (SE 2.9; F1,49=137.7, P<.001).

Conclusions
Adding an in-person debriefing experience led to greater improvement in SG scores, emphasizing the learning benefits of this practice. Improved SG performance in both groups suggests that SGs have a role as independent, less resource-intensive educational tools.

Published: September 2024

Los sistemas eléctricos están evolucionando hacia redes inteligentes para mejorar su eficiencia y confiabilidad mediante estrategias de gestión y respuesta a la demanda. Este estudio presenta el Modelo Multiusuario de Cargas Eléctricas Controlables (MMCEC), un modelo de optimización desarrollado para gestionar colectivamente la demanda residencial de múltiples usuarios mediante la Programación de Cargas Eléctricas Controlables (PCEC). El objetivo del modelo fue minimizar el costo de la energía y lograr una distribución más uniforme de la carga eléctrica, teniendo en cuenta tarifas dinámicas de precios y restricciones específicas. La metodología se basó en técnicas clásicas de optimización en dos etapas. La primera se enfocó a nivel de único usuario utilizando el método de búsqueda exhaustiva para seleccionar soluciones que minimicen el costo de la factura de cada usuario. La segunda etapa empleó el método de búsqueda local para la optimización multiusuario, para encontrar una curva de demanda más plana. Para ello, se diseñó un algoritmo en MATLAB® que simuló un escenario con 60 usuarios durante 24 horas, programando los periodos más adecuados de encendido/apagado de las cargas controlables. Se compararon dos escenarios: uno donde los usuarios administran sus cargas a su conveniencia y otro donde se aplicó el modelo propuesto. Los resultados indicaron una disminución de los picos de demanda, con un ahorro promedio del 4.94 % en la factura eléctrica para el conjunto de usuarios y hasta el 12.34 % individualmente. La simulación logró esta solución óptima en 25 minutos a pesar de la complejidad computacional que implica gestionar la demanda de 60 usuarios. Por tal motivo, el modelo planteado utilizó métodos simples para optimizar múltiples variables, proporcionando un mejor rendimiento en comparación con el procesamiento requerido por algoritmos más complejos.

Published: September 2024

The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) impacted learning experiences of students around the world. To limit the spread of the infectious virus, public health officials had to implement various measures that included lockdowns and physical isolation. Such measures also impacted students’ access to support systems and negatively impacted their overall wellbeing. Through this project, students at a community college were offered access to a virtual resilience training through the Headversity application. The Headversity application provides training in six skills namely, mental health, mindfulness, self-expertise, energy management, hardness and mental fitness. Students completed a pre and post survey designed to gather their experiences. The Headversity service provider shared the performance indicators every 3 months. The performance indicators showed the skills that was accessed more frequently and the skills that needed more attention. A total of 346 students enrolled to use the application. Of these, 163 enrolled to complete the survey. It was evident from students’ feedback that the virtual application was easy to navigate, helped them to train on relevant skills and was timely given the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a few students indicated that they would have preferred contact with a trainer rather than getting generic support system through the application.
Analysis of Gold Pawn in Indonesia: A Comparative Study between DSN-MUI and AAOIFI
Authors: Muna Izzatul 
Published: September 2024

The development of sharia-based products in Indonesia have been increasingly rife, one of the most growing is rahn/Islamic pawn. Basically, a pawn contract is a type of tabarru’/voluntary contract which does not generate profit, however there are many Islamic financial institutions that offer pawn products especially gold pawn product. This research aims to analyze the comparison between the AAOIFI and DSN-MUI in the provisions regarding gold pawn contract. This research is a type of literature study using descriptive qualitative approach. The finding of research is that there are similarities and differences between both AAOIFI and DSN-MUI in the provisions regarding gold pawn contract. The most salient difference is that the Fatwa of DSN-MUI allows the Islamic financial institutions as the mortgagee to charge to the mortgagor some fees for safekeeping and maintenance of the mortgaged asset through ijarah contract, which make the gold pawn contract become profitable for the mortgagee. Unlike in the AAOIFI Shariah Standard which does not give the mortgagee a chance to obtain profit from this contract.

Six Points Implicit Block Method with Extra Derivative for Solving Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations
Authors: Sajid Dahi Barakat , Turki Mohammed Yousif 
Published: September 2024

The construction of the six-point block methods with extra derivatives for solving directly is presented in this paper. The suggested block methods concurrently approximate the problem's solution at six points and are formulated using the Hermite Interpolating Polynomial. The block methods do not reduce the equation to a first-order system of initial value problems (IVPs); instead, they directly obtain the numerical solutions. Additionally, the order and zero-stability of the suggested techniques are examined. We present numerical results and draw comparisons with other block methods that are currently in use. The results demonstrate how effective the suggested approaches are at solving second-order IVPs in general.
