In the research, different experimental setups were used to examine the treatment of wastewater from the paper industry using the electrooxidation method, one of the electrochemical treatment methods in the batch system. In the 2000 mL volume jacketed glass reactor utilized for the treatment of wastewater from the paper industry, 4 anode and 4 cathode sieve type plates of 7 cm x 10 cm dimensions were positioned at 0.5 cm intervals, and 1200 mL wastewater was used in the tests. Coated sieve type Ti/Pt electrodes were employed as the anode in the electrooxidation studies, and uncoated sieve type Ti electrodes were used as the cathode. It was determined that the active anodic wet surface area was 1078 cm2 . The removal rates of pollutant parameters such as turbidity and SS (Suspended Solids) in the experiments; the effects of wastewater initial pH value and supporting electrolyte type parameters were investigated. According to the results, the most effective pH value for Ti/Pt anode type at 400 rpm mixing speed was determined to be waste water natural pH (7.5), and 0.50 M NaCl was the most successful supporting electrolyte type. 96.92% Suspended Solids removal efficiency and 95.38% turbidity removal efficiency for Ti/Pt anode were achieved under ideal conditions. In addition, 312.05 kW-hour/kg COD is determined as the energy consumption value.

This study addresses the barriers that hinder paper recycling and explores potential solutions to overcome these challenges. The barriers discussed include a lack of recycling infrastructure, inadequate education and outreach, cultural attitudes towards waste, and a lack of economic incentives. To address these barriers, governments and organizations can implement solutions such as expanding recycling infrastructure, improving education and outreach, addressing cultural attitudes through targeted messaging, and providing economic incentives. Successful implementations of these solutions in other locations or industries are also highlighted. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing these barriers to increase paper recycling rates and reduce the environmental and economic costs of low recycling rates.

Change has become the norm and with the digital revolution we are seeing the demise of the printed word. Dentistry is a pictorial subject, but will pictures in a textbook or journal be surpassed by accessing digital ones on a screen? This article reviews the rapidly changing access and reading of dental publications. An argument is that the ease of access to electronic material, such as video and podcasts, may make traditional paper-based publications obsolete. Already dentistry is seeing such changes take place. With such revolutions come challenges. Misinformation is much easier to generate, and the evidence base may be diluted. Furthermore artificial intelligence is now able to produce text and papers that will make it more difficult to critically review the dental content on offer. The future will bring many challenges and this article provides an opinion on what dentistry might expect. CPD/Clinical Relevance: There are challenges posed by the increasing use of digital resources for information and how this might impact dental knowledge.

The performance of lean duplex stainless steels has been utilized by the pulp and paper industry since their introduction to the market almost 20 years ago. Experience has shown that this group of stainless steels has exceptional performance in, for example, alkaline environments towards typical deterioration mechanisms, i.e., uniform corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. The chemistry of the “lean” duplex steels is designed so that the content of volatile and expensive elements like nickel and molybdenum can be reduced to an absolute minimum without sacrificing the technical performance. This reduces the raw material cost and most importantly provides predictability of the steel price, which is often challenging with conventional austenitic and duplex stainless steels.Thanks to a dual phase microstructure and high nitrogen content, lean duplex steels have at least two times higher strength compared to standard austenitic stainless steels. This is often a preferred feature in pulp and paper construction, as it enables lighter structures and less material to be utilized. Today, lean duplex steels are widely available in various dimensions, from thin cold rolled sheets up to thick hot rolled plates. Lean duplex steels are also fully recyclable after the decommissioning stage of the equipment, thereby contributing to the circular economy.

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) has the potential to replace traditional plastics and limit environmental pollution caused by plastic waste. This study combined wastewater treatment with PHB production to reduce costs. Bacteria capable of synthesizing PHB were isolated from paper mill wastewater and identified using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization–Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene analysis. Bacillus pumilus NMG5 strain was found to have a good yield in modified Nutrient Broth culture, reaching 42.28% of dry biomass. The PHB product was analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The bacterial strain was also tested for its ability to treat paper mill wastewater, and it showed impressive results in terms of biochemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen, and total phosphorus, with efficiencies of 95.93%, 79.36%, and 83.55%, respectively. The study found that wastewater treatment combined with PHB production was a promising solution to reduce costs and limit environmental pollution. The bacterial strain B. pumilus NMG5 had a high yield of PHB, and the PHB product was of high quality, as confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the bacterial strain showed impressive results in treating paper mill wastewater with high COD, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus efficiencies. These results suggest that this harmless bacterium could be used in paper mill wastewater treatment systems to produce PHB, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution.

In this article, red and blue ink handwriting on aged paper was fixed by fixative to prevent handwriting from fading or diffusion during aqueous deacidification. Firstly, four fixatives were selected: polydimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA), the quaternary ammonium salt of chitosan (HACC), cationic guar gum (CGG), and benzyl triethyl ammonium chloride (TEBAC) alcohol solution, according to their fixation effects on filter paper dyes, and derive the optimal composition ratio of the above four fixatives. Experimentally derived that PDDA has an excellent fixation effect on red ink handwriting, and HACC has an excellent fixation effect on blue ink handwriting. In addition, HACC also has a positive impact on the conservation of handwriting in real archives. The mechanical properties of aged paper were improved, and the paper fibers had no obvious change after the fixation and deacidification processes.

Fetching recently published research papers is a time consuming and tedious process for young researchers and even for experts. In real time searching papers based on keywords and queries in search engines may not result apt or proper research papers that the user searched for. Because these research papers lack proper links and citations that help to find the most concerned papers. To overcome this problem a hybrid model is proposed with time constraint that combines the Text mining and Recommendation algorithm. The preference of papers and articles are jointly modeled with matrices sharing common dimensions of researchers and papers. The initial process starts with text mining algorithm that matches keywords with the data available in web pages. The post process consists of recommendation algorithms with latent matrix factorization and tensor matrix with similar preferences in a dimensional space. This paper explains the hybrid experimental model that helps users to fetch the most recent and relevant paper in a short period of time

Показана эффективность применения суспензии бактериальной целлюлозы Komagataeibacter (Gluconacetobacter) rhaeticus при реставрации документов на бумаге аэродинамическим способом. Одной из проблем при реставрации документов на бумаге методом восполнения утраченных частей документа является прочность шва между реставрируемым документом и восполняющей частью. Для повышения прочности шва документ по контуру утрат обрабатывают связующими - растворами натриевой соли карбоксиметилцеллюлозы или крахмала. В данном исследовании при реставрации методом аэродинамического формования в качестве связующего была применена суспензия бактериальной целлюлозы Komagataeibacter (Gluconacetobacter) rhaeticus. Для создания прочного соединительного шва между реставрируемым документом и восполняющим волокнистым слоем по контуру утраты документа наносили суспензию бактериальной целлюлозы концентрацией 1,0 ± 0,1% масс., предварительно подготовленную в дезинтеграторе. Применение бактериальной целлюлозы в качестве связующего при аэродинамическом способе реставрации привело к повышению прочности сформованного шва в 1,5-2 раза, по сравнению с применением в качестве связующего растворов крахмала и натриевой соли карбоксиметилцеллюлозы. Искусственное тепло-влажное старение документа после реставрации в течение 12 суток показало, что прочность шва снижается после первых трех суток старения на 32% и затем стабилизируется. Это позволяет прогнозировать хорошую сохранность отреставрированного документа в процессе дальнейшего архивного хранения и пользования. С помощью программного комплекса, предназначенного для исследования памятников письменности путем анализа их цифровых изображений «Vestigium» показано, что рельеф поверхности листов документа после реставрации становится более сглаженным, что снижает возможность глубокого проникновения пыли в структуру листа и повышает срок использования документа. The effectiveness of the bacterial cellulose suspension Komagataeibacter (Gluconacetobacter) rhaeticus in the restoration of documents on paper using the aerodynamic method is shown. One of the problems in document restoration on paper using the method of replacing lost parts of a document is the strength of the seam between the document to be restored and the replacing part. To increase the strength of the seam the document is treated with binders - solutions of sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose or starch on the contour of the loss. In this study, a suspension of bacterial cellulose Komagataeibacter (Gluconacetobacter) rhaeticus was used as a binder for the restoration by aerodynamic molding. In order to create a strong bonding seam between the restored document and the replenishing fibrous layer, a suspension of bacterial cellulose with a concentration of 1.0 ± 0.1 wt. %, previously prepared in a disintegrator, was applied along the contour of the lost document. The use of bacterial cellulose as a binder in the aerodynamic method of restoration led to an increase in the strength of the formed seam by 1.5-2.0 times compared to the use of starch solutions and sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose as a binder. Artificial heat-moist aging of the document after restoration for 12 days showed that the suture strength decreased after the first three days of aging by 32% and then stabilized. This makes it possible to predict good preservation of the restored document during further archival storage and use. With the help of «Vestigium» software designed to study the monuments of writing by analyzing their digital images, it is shown that the relief of the document sheets surface after restoration becomes smoother, which reduces the possibility of deep penetration of dust into the sheet structure and increases the life of the document.

Эксперименты, описанные в статье, выполнялись в лабораторных условиях в рамках написания диссератции на соискание ученой степени кандидата технических наук. Актуальность и новизна подтверждена опытными инженерами ведуших компаний-производителей оборудования и передовых технологий в области ЦБП. На процесс сушки полотна бумаги и картона затрачивается наибольшее количество потребляемой на бумаго- и картоноделательных машинах энергии. Однако при этом удаляется незначительное количество влаги из материала, по сравнению с обезвоживаниемна сеточной и прессовой частях. Поэтому для снижения затрат теплоты, а также повышения производительности БДМ представляется целесообразной интенсификация процесса сушки при минимальных затратах энергии и сохранении ключевых технологических показателей выпускаемой продукции. Цель исследования - получение образцов бумаги разной массы одного квадратного метра, изготовленных из производственной сульфатной небеленой хвойной целлюлозы, размолотой в лабораторных условиях на коническом рафинере до различной степени помола с последующим отливом и сушкой при разных температурах. После кондиционирования образцы подвергались измерениям свойств бумаги методами неразрушающего и разрушающего контроля. Анализ влияния температур сушки на деформационно-прочностные и структурно-размерные свойства бумаги позволил выявить закономерности, которые могут быть использованы при дальнейших научных исследованиях, а также непосредственно внедрены в производство. Реконструкции, направленные на снижение потребления энергии, а также оптимизация и тонкая настройка технологических режимов процессов сушки бумажного полотна представляют собой одно из перспективных направлений модернизации технологических потоков и повышения конкурентоспособности отечественных и зарубежных предприятий. Researches described in this article were carried out in laboratory as part of writing PhD thesis in Engineering Science. The importance and novelty have been confirmed by experienced engineers from leading manufacturers of equipment and advanced technologies in the field of pulp and paper industry. The process of drying paper and board consumes the largest amount of energy in paper and board machines. At the same time, it contributes to remove a small amount of moisture from the material, compared to dewatering on the forming and press sections. Therefore, in order to reduce heat costs, as well as increase the productivity of the paper machine, it seems appropriate to intensify the drying process with minimal energy consumption and maintaining the key technological properties of paper. The goal of the study was to get paper samples of different basis weights, made from industrial sulfate unbleached softwood pulp, refined in laboratory on a conical refiner till defined grinding degrees, then forming and followed by drying at different temperatures. Analysis of the drying temperatures on the structural-dimensional and deformation-strength properties of paper made it possible to identify tendencies that can be used in further scientific researches, as well as directly introduce them into production. Rebuilds intended for reducing energy consumption, as well as optimizing and fine-tuning the technological modes of paper drying are one of the promising areas for upgrading production lines and increasing the competitiveness of domestic and foreign enterprises in current times.

Exams are getting digitized all over the world. Basically, meaning that the traditional paper-based tests are being replaced by the certain computer-based tests which have proven to be both more consistent in allocating marks and faster than teacher correcting papers. The traditional exams usually consisted of subjective answers which were not the best way of grading the student’s perception of the subject. Hence, we are developing a computer-based system that will generate MCQ based question that will be better suited to grade students academically. So, Incremental Question Paper Generator (IQPG) is an attempt at developing a software which can implement adaptive evaluation along with generation of questions on its own. The software aims to generate an increasingly difficult or easy in simpler words, it aims to generate a question paper which dynamically changes the difficulty of its questions. Along the same the software generates these questions by learning from a pre-made dataset of questions.

This study investigates the emotional experiences of undergraduate students when taking computer-based compared to traditional paper-based exams. The authors surveyed 144 students and conducted in-depth written interviews with 44 of them to gain a comprehensive understanding of their emotions and experiences. The findings revealed that students generally feel more positive emotions, such as enjoyment, hope, and pride during computer-based exams. Conversely, they experienced less anger, anxiety, and hopelessness compared to paper-based exams. However, they observed no significant differences in feelings of relief and shame between the two exam modes. The interview responses provided valuable insights into the reasons behind these emotions. Students found computer-based testing to be more efficient, user-friendly for language editing, and appreciated the auto-grading features. However, technical concerns were identified as a major challenge in this format. On the other hand, paper-based exams allowed students to avoid technical problems, draft their answers, and express ideas more effectively. Despite these advantages, students reported disliking the lengthiness of the written responses, the difficulty of editing, and the pressure of maintaining legible handwriting. Overall, this study sheds light on the emotional experiences of students in different exam formats, helping educators make informed decisions to optimize testing environments.

A surface profilometry technique was used to characterize the surfaces of paper products. A stylus-contact type profilometer capable of simultaneously generating both surface roughness- and friction-profiles was used. As a stylus for the profilometer, a conical shape whose tip was rounded to have a 0.5 mm curvature radius was designed and successfully employed in both printing & writing (P&W) papers and hygiene papers such as bathroom tissues and kitchen towel. From the profiles, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) from the averages, i.e., R-MAD from the roughness average and F-MAD from the average coefficient of friction, were suggested as the new surface characterization parameters. To elucidate the surface roughness profiles by fractal dimension analysis, the variogram method was applied to get the fractal dimensions of the paper products. Generally, the value of the fractal dimension increased as the surface roughness increased. The surface profilometry technique with the fractal dimension analysis with the variogram method looks promising to gain additional insight on the surface characteristics of paper products.

In an earlier publication (Van Wee & Banister, 2016), we explained that literature review papers (LRP) should explicitly report on the search and selection process of documents included. In this paper, we present two approaches for reporting the methodology for doing this: a basic approach and a reasoned approach. The basic approach includes reporting databases(s), keywords, search strings, snowballing, the selection of documents, presenting an overview of documents included and reporting additional selection criteria (if applicable). The reasoned approach adds to the basic approach (what was done) by explicitly explaining the motivation for choices and showing the selection process graphically (why it was done). The two approaches should be seen as options, and not the only alternatives. We recommend that authors of LRPs depart from these approaches and modify them where appropriate. The important lesson is that authors should be explicit about the approach adopted, as this enables the reader to understand the thinking behind the LRP and the conclusions drawn.

Meanwhile on control treatment the mortality value was 18.79%. The average of weight loss of termite’s bait was 3.41% - 8.36%. The highest weight loss was achieved on concentration 8% and this bait was more attractive to termites. Termite’s bait from waste paper and extract of Ocimum basilicum was attractant to subteranean termites Coptotermes curvignathus and the optimum concentration was 8%.

Introduction: Summative assessments play a major role in shaping the student’s learning. There is little literature available on validity of summative assessment question papers in Forensic Medicine & Toxicology. This study analyses 30 question papers from 6 reputed universities for content validity. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional record-based observational study was conducted where 30 university summative question papers in Forensic Medicine & Toxicology from 6 universities across India were evaluated for content validity. The learning domain assessed, the type of questions asked, and sampling of the content was compared and presented in the results. Results: From the results of the study, it was noted that 80% weightage was allotted to recall in most papers and only one paper tested for application. 70 to 80% of the marks were allotted to Forensic Pathology leading to disproportionate sampling. Core areas in Toxicology and Medical Jurisprudence were sparsely assessed. Conclusion: The content validity of the summative question papers in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology was unsatisfactory, emphasising the need for evaluation of the clarity and efficacy of the blueprints being used by the universities. Faculty training to motivate and influence a change in the mindset is necessary to bring about a course correction.

As a type of Chinese folk art, jianzhi paper carving expresses not only people's spiritual life, but also their aspirations for a better life. Chinese paper carving art is filled with simple life wisdom and good wishes, and the figurative symbols contain unique artistic value and national traits. However, in today's multifaceted development, the traditional art of paper carving with a thousand years of history is gradually fading away. Traditional folk art represented by paper cutting has also begun to be introduced into new fields, not only in graphic design, but also in installation design of public spaces, showing its rich expressiveness and deep artistic value. This paper will examine the characteristics of traditional national paper carving, highlight cultural differences between Eastern and Western paper carving art, combine traditional folk art of paper carving with modern artistic expressions, analyse symbolic and emotional imagery and explore new ideas for the development and innovation of Chinese national art.

Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) are emerging as powerful analytical platforms in clinical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental protection because of their low cost and favorable substrate properties for biosensing. However, the existing top-down fabrication methods of paper-based chips suffer from low resolution (200 μm). Additionally, papers have limitations in their physical properties (e.g., thickness, transmittance, and mechanical flexibility). Here, we demonstrate a bottom-up approach for the rapid fabrication of heterogeneously controlled paper-based chip arrays. We simply print a wax-patterned microchip with wettability contrasts, enabling automatic and selective assembly of cellulose microfibers to construct predefined paper-based microchip arrays with controllable thickness. This paper-based microchip printing technology is feasible for various substrate materials ranging from inorganic glass to organic polymers, providing a versatile platform for the full range of applications including transparent devices and flexible health monitoring. Our bottom-up printing technology using cellulose microfibers as the starting material provides a lateral resolution down to 42 ± 3 μm and achieves the narrowest channel barrier down to 33 ± 2 μm. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a flexible paper-based glucose monitor is built for human health care, requiring only 0.3 μL of sample for testing.

In the European Union (EU), Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 provides a harmonized legal EU framework and sets out the general principles for safety and inertness for all Food Contact Materials (FCMs) and Food Contact Articles. From a food safety point of view, however, specific EU legislation for paper and cardboard FCMs is lacking, while at Member State level, national legislation differs among countries. More than 11,000 chemicals have been identified in all types of FCMs, most of them without any information on toxicity or migration potential from FCM to food. The present review shows a wide variability of protocols, approaches, and conditions used in scientific studies, which are difficult to compare. In this regard, procedures and conditions laid down in EU legislation for plastics and European Standards (EN protocols) may serve as a good basis for the future sample preparation procedures in the framework of paper and cardboard FCMs safety assessment. Challenges on sample preparation procedures are presented involving the interlinked steps of sample preparation, conditions used and their impact in chemical analysis and in vitro bioassay testing. Currently, there is no general consensus on the criteria for structuring, evaluating, and tuning sample preparation procedures for paper and cardboard FCMs. For this purpose, a set of modified criteria and a decision tree are proposed based on the literature. Along this, mass transfer processes occurring in paper and cardboard FCMs and parameters affecting chemical migration need to be accounted for prior to reaching general consensus on criteria for sample preparation procedures.

Publisher Copyright: © 2022 Elsevier Ltd Laser-induced graphene from paper (paper-LIG) was applied in non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing of uric acid (UA) in human urine. Paper-LIG was formed by CO2 laser modification of paper into a 3D graphene arrangement. Kinetic analysis of paper-LIG electrodes returned effective heterogeneous electron transfer standard rate constants of 1.4 × 10−3 cm s−1 and 7.8 × 10−4 cm s−1 for [Ru(NH3)6]2+/3+ and [Fe(CN)6]4−/3− redox probes, respectively. These electrodes were able to detect and quantify uric acid in PBS within the 10–300 μM range at pH between 5.6 and 7.4. At pH 7.4, a linear response (R2 = 0.999) from 10 to 250 μM was achieved, with a limit of detection of 3.97 μM and a sensitivity of 0.363 μA cm−2 μM−1. Paper-LIG electrodes denoted adequate selectivity in synthetic urine as well as in ascorbic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA)-containing electrolytes. Determination of urinary UA content in human samples returned a concentration of c.a. 1.8–1.9 mM, within the range for healthy individuals. Recoveries of samples spiked with 50 and 100 μM UA were 100.6% and 95.4%, respectively, with satisfactory reproducibility and stability. These cheap, lightweight, flexible, and eco-friendly paper-LIG biosensors for non-enzymatic quantification of UA in human urine pave the way to widespread application in the detection of other important biomarkers. publishersversion published

Wastewater-based surveillance of the COVID-19 pandemic holds great promise; however, a point-of-use detection method for SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater is lacking. Here, a portable paper device based on CRISPR/Cas12a and reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) with excellent sensitivity and specificity was developed for SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater. Three primer sets of RT-LAMP and guide RNAs (gRNAs) that could lead Cas12a to recognize target genes via base pairing were used to perform the high-fidelity RT-LAMP to detect the N, E, and S genes of SARS-CoV-2. Due to the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR/Cas12a after high-fidelity amplicon recognition, carboxyfluorescein-ssDNA-Black Hole Quencher-1 and carboxyfluorescein-ssDNA-biotin probes were adopted to realize different visualization pathways via a fluorescence or lateral flow analysis, respectively. The reactions were integrated into a paper device for simultaneously detecting the N, E, and S genes with limits of detection (LODs) of 25, 310, and 10 copies/mL, respectively. The device achieved a semiquantitative analysis from 0 to 310 copies/mL due to the different LODs of the three genes. Blind experiments demonstrated that the device was suitable for wastewater analysis with 97.7% sensitivity and 82% semiquantitative accuracy. This is the first semiquantitative endpoint detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater via different LODs, demonstrating a promising point-of-use method for wastewater-based surveillance.

Flexible inkjet-printed antenna is presented. The proposed antenna is designed on a synthetic paper substrate with an area of 35 × 40 mm2 to provide frequency bands for many popular wireless applications. Simulation and measurement are used to study the performances, including the frequency bands, radiation patterns, peak gains and efficiency, of the antenna in two severely bending conditions with a curvature radius of 20 mm in the forward and backward directions. The antenna printed in photo papers material could not be fully flexible due to cracks introduced to the coating material on the surface of the photo paper. Hence, the resin coated material was only suitable for curved devices. The synthetic paper material used in this paper does not have a resin coating, therefore, the antenna does not lose its flexibility and can be bent in both the forward and backward directions without any cracks. Results show that bending in these two conditions has insignificant effects on the performances of the antenna. With a curvature radius of 20 mm in the forward direction, the measured peak gain and efficiency of the antenna are in the ranges from −3 to +2 dBi and 40% to 60%, respectively. The results together with the low cost make the antenna most suitable for many flexible 5G communications devices.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню особливостей відтворення ідіостилю Джона Гріна в українському перекладі. Проблема ідіостилю розглядається в контексті збереження особливостей індивідуальної творчої манери автора у перекладі. Матеріалом статті вибрано романи Джона Гріна Paper towns (2008) та The Fault in Our Stars (2012), а також переклади романів «Паперові міста» (2017) та «Винні зірки» (2017) українською мовою, здійснені Вірою Назаренко. Методологічною базою для практичного аналізу слугують положення сучасного перекладознавства щодо основних стратегій (Л. Венуті), які дозволяють адекватно перекласти художній твір (доместикація та форенізація), та тактик, якими перекладачі послуговуються для реалізації вибраної стратегії. У статті вибрано класифікацію тактик перекладу, запропоновану Ж. Віне та Ж. Дарбеньє та доповнену Е. Пімом. Метою статті є з’ясування особливостей індивідуального стилю Джона Гріна та відтворення їх у перекладі українською мовою. Однією з головних особливостей творчого стилю письменника є використання великої кількості сленгових одиниць у романах, оскільки їхньою цільовою аудиторією є підлітки. Предметом дослідження вибрано стратегії та тактики перекладу сленгових одиниць для відтворення підліткового соціолекту в україномовній версії романів. Дослідження виявило, що переважаючою стратегією перекладу була доместикація, для реалізації якої перекладачка послуговувалася здебільшого такими тактиками, як: модуляція, еквіваленція, узагальнення та культурна заміна. Це дало змогу не тільки зберегти підлітковий соціолект у перекладах, але й відтворити емотивний, експресивний та стилістичний колорит романів.

This paper aims to inquire for the sociodemographic structure of the Venezuelan occupied labour force and its differences in comparison to the national occupied labour force in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. To achieve this purpose, this research relies on data for the year 2021 from the Integrated Great Survey of Households (Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares - GEIH), a monthly socio demographic survey GEIH that captures information related to the main characteristics of the studied population. In this sense, comparisons in terms of educational levels, income, occupational status, family structure, gender and age groups were done in order to determine differences and common patterns. Finally, a hierarchical cluster analysis strategy was proposed to identify possible sociodemographic typologies of the Venezuelan labour force.

Introduction. Currently, there is no unequivocal opinion on the optimal list of studies for the genetic diagnosis of oncohematological disorders in children and adults. These discrepancies are due to the limited technological capabilities of laboratories, the rapid development of science, and a significant expansion of the range of new molecular markers, that are attractive, but only for a limited group of patients. Moreover, in modern conditions of limited access to resources, it seems important to bring desires, interests and opportunities to a common denominator. Aim — to develop unified approaches to the cytogenetic and molecular genetic diagnosis of oncohematological diseases in children and adults based on the consensus opinion of the panel of experts. Main findings. The review proposes the arrangement of cytogenetic and molecular genetic diagnostic tests in oncohematological disorders in children and adults into 3 categories depending on the frequency of genetic aberrations, the study complexity and the prognostic impact. Based on this and taking into account the diagnosis and age of patients, the minimal and optimal lists of clinically significant parameters and research markers were identified. The basic preanalytical principles for conducting cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies in oncohematology are pointed out. A brief description of a conventional cytogenetic study and a polymerase chain reaction for the diagnosis of oncohematological diseases is given. The paper also focused on the need for reference diagnostics of cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies in oncohematology. The article is addressed to the specialists in the field of laboratory genetics, clinical laboratory diagnostics, but may also be of interest to hematologists, pediatric oncologists and doctors of related branches.

The article aims to determine the share of mechanical-biological installation of waste processing (MBP) in the levels of recycling and preparation for the reuse of paper, metals, plastics, and glass (PMPG) achieved by municipalities. Two MBP installations were taken for the analysis - with the highest and the lowest share of municipalities in the Podlaskie Voivodship (Poland), which reached the recycling level required in 2019. In order to determine the share of MBP installations in the level of recycling achieved by communes, the share of the mass of recycled PMPG waste segregated from mixed municipal waste was calculated: in the total mass of generated PMPG waste and in the total mass of recycled PMPG waste from the municipal waste stream. On the basis of the conducted analyses, it should be stated that the MBP installation may have an impact on the achievement by municipalities of the recycling level required by law.
