Over the centuries, with the development of economy, the excessive interference of human activities on the natural environment has caused profound changes in the earth's ecosystem. Under a White Sky: the Nature of the Future by American environmental journalist Elizabeth Kolbert is based on the relationship between man and nature, focusing on climate change. This article is based on the first part of chapter 1 of this book which describes the author's field investigation of river pollution in the United States, carp invasion of hydrological system and control measures. The paper hopes that more readers will recognize the destruction that human activities have caused to the Earth's ecosystem, and awaken more people's awareness of respecting nature and protecting ecology. Under the guidance of relevance translation theory, the author takes the optimal relevance principle as the translation criterion. Based on the cognitive context of the target audience, the translator adopts some translation skills including adding comments, meaning extension, part of speech conversion, division and combination, and word order adjustment, which will make the translation readable and in line with the Chinese language norms and expression habits.

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oilseed crop. It is grown for vegetable and industrial oils in the world. Sunflower oil is considered to be of supreme quality. The Production, productivity and area coverage of sunflower in Ethiopia is low and below the world average due to different reasons. Sunflower can contribute a big share in improving local edible oil production due to its short interval for maturity, high oil contents, better fitting in the cropping pattern, tolerance to drought and its high yield potential. Therefore, this study was conducted to quantify genetic variability of fourteen qualitative traits using Shannon-waver diversity index. A total of 220 genotypes including checks varieties were evaluated in 2020/21 main cropping season at Holeta, Ethiopia. Alpha lattice design was used with two replications and eleven blocks were nested within a replication. Based on fourteen qualitative traits significant variability or dissimilarity was observed among Sunflower genotypes. Analysis of Shannon-waver diversity index shows that H' values ranges from ~0.075 for leaf arrangement to ~0.99 for bract shape at the back of sunflower head. This shows that there is considerable diversity among the studied genotypes for the qualitative traits which can have good indications and amplification during selections of genotypes in sunflower improvement either ornamental type, confectionery or oil type sunflower.

The molecular epigenetics study in the plants plays a vital role in plant gene regulations, since the early descriptions of the non-Mendelians plant-based gene activities to pivotal detections of chromatin amending proteins necessary for plant growth and the RNAs which facilitates the silencing of genes in human and in the eukaryotes. Different factors playing important role in gene regulation in plants through cellular signaling pathways. Different genes show over expression and repression in response to different conditions in plants as a result of environmental stresses. While on the other hand, plants have haploid (gametophyte) development stage which occurs after meiosis and before fertilization. Genomic screening in Arabidopsis thaliana, the model plant, have been mainly worthwhile, yielding more than one hundred and thirty epigenetic regulators so far. The major contribution of plant science to current global hot problems like sustainability and climate change makes the expansion of plant science research capacity crucial. The objective is to highlight that reflect these developments in the creation of new biotechnological tools (NBTs) and the creative uses of plant genetic engineering. Studies that concentrate on the creation of NBT for resistant or previously non-transformable species to enable the unlocking of these species' biology are of great relevance to this collection. In addition, the use of cutting-edge genetic engineering techniques such as genome/gene editing and protein-domain specific technology (such as K-Domain technology).

The article ‘Hellas and Germania’ by Alfred Baeumler explores the relationship between ancient Greece and modern Germany. Baeumler discusses Nietzsche's relationship with Winckelmann in his work on the conquest of German Hellenism. He notes that Nietzsche was deeply influenced by Winckelmann's insights into the Hellenic world and saw himself as continuing Winckelmann's work. Baeumler argues that Nietzsche believed that subsequent scholars had failed to fully appreciate the essence of the Hellenic spirit, and that he saw himself as carrying on Winckelmann's legacy in this regard. He also notes that Nietzsche believed that the Germans had a special affinity with the Hellenic world, and that he saw Winckelmann and Goethe as examples of this connection.

The global burden of diabetes is becoming alarming; this has been aggravated by the change in lifestyle patterns which has encouraged the high prevalence of diabetes noticed today. The oil and gas company workers over the years have been predicted to have an increased prevalence of diabetes which has been attributed to the affluence of this population. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of diabetes and its associated factors among oil and gas company workers in Port Harcourt. The present study aim was to determine the prevalence of diabetes and its associated factors among oil and gas company workers in Port Harcourt. The study was carried out using a descriptive cross-sectional study and data’s were collected using a questionnaire. A total of 376 questionnaires were administered and 318 questionnaires were retrieved from three oil and gas companies in Port Harcourt. Majority (51.9%) of the workers were above 40years of age. (72.01%) were married and Christianity (94.03%) was the main form of religion as recorded in the study. The study revealed that (56.1%) of the workers have poor dietary habit as against (43.9%) that have good dietary habit. The mean BMI of the workers (26.5) shows that majority (40.9%) of the workers are overweight, which depicts the nutritional status of the workers. The overall prevalence of diabetes in this study is (19.8%) and of all the risk factors predicted to be associated with the occurrence of diabetes, only women who have given birth to babies weighing more than 4kg at birth showed an association with an adjusted odd ratio of 4.79(1.34-17.11) 0.016. Therefore, there is a significant association between women who have given birth to babies weighing more than 4kg at birth and the occurrence of diabetes. Management of the oil companies, through the health education department should encourage exercise and diabetes management education to curtail the growing prevalence of diabetes.

Accounting for human resources is a relatively recent field. The organization may gain a direct or indirect advantage from the accountant's labor. In order to give users of financial information the ability to make rational, global decisions, accounting is the process of recognizing, quantifying, classifying, and reporting financial data. A company's HRA demonstrates the commitment it makes to its employees and the evolution of their values throughout time. Accounting for human resources gives management accounting more significance and aids in determining the capital worth of human resources and management development. About the value of a human asset, HRA offers quantifiable information. The current study's goals are to outline the function of accounting in HRM and identify coauthors whose works have received more than 500 citations in the field. The goal of the current study is to look up studies on the function of accounting in human resource management in the literature database. Research articles and their co-authors have been chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria in order to meet the research purpose. Lastly, VosViewer has been used to present the chosen research publications authored by coauthors that received more than 500 citations.

In principle, the Narcotics Law provides a legal loophole for law enforcers, especially judges, in imposing criminal sanctions, not only prison, but can also provide sanctions in the form of rehabilitation. This is in accordance with the provisions of Articles 126 and 127 of the Narcotics Law that those who abuse narcotics themselves can be given rehabilitation sanctions, both medical and social rehabilitation. The fact is that currently, when deciding narcotics cases against self-abusers, judges do not use Article 127, so many perpetrators are given prison sentences. In providing rehabilitation sanctions, it cannot be separated from the assessment carried out by the Integrated Assessment Team (TAT), however, to carry out this assessment requires quite large costs which must be paid by the state and some are also paid by the perpetrator. Thus, synergy must be built between the institutions involved in implementing rehabilitation, namely APH, the Health Service and the Social Service in ensuring the implementation of rehabilitation. So there must be a judge's decision which is used as jurisprudence against narcotics abusers who themselves must carry out social rehabilitation and medical rehabilitation.

The study was conducted to evaluate the experimental and theoretical shear strength of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam with and without shear reinforcement in accordance with Eurocode 2 design criteria. Fifteen (15) reinforced concrete beams of dimension 750mm x 150mm x 150mm reinforced with diameter 12mm size bars were cast at various reinforcement ratios (i.e. 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, and 3.0%), while preliminary and mechanical tests were conducted on the materials (i.e. cement, fine and coarse aggregate, and reinforcement bars) in accordance with relevant codes and standards. The outcome from the findings showed that the cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate used to cast the reinforced concrete beam were well graded and satisfies the requirement of code specification. More results showed that the average diameter of the reinforcement bars are 11.67mm, the mean tensile and ultimate strength of the reinforcement bars are 389.73N/mm2 and 640.80N/mm2 respectively, while the mean reinforcement steel elongation is 14.23% which mostly met code requirement indicating suitability of the reinforcement bars usage in concrete. Furthermore, the result from the findings showed that the Eurocode 2 (EC2) design criteria of beams without shear reinforcement were lower than the experimental value, while EC2 design criteria for beams with shear reinforcement was close to the experimental value.

Background: In Saudi Arabia as well as globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Early diagnosis can lead to a better prognosis, and mammography screening may be an adequate way to get there. Studies on breast cancer and mammography awareness have been conducted in Saudi Arabia. Objectives: The current study set out to assess Saudi Arabian female patients' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness regarding breast cancer and mammography screening. Methods: A thorough search was carried out in October 2023, mostly using PubMed, in compliance with PRISMA criteria. The search was limited to English-language research that looked at the relationship between mammograms and breast cancer. To guarantee the quality and applicability of the evaluated research, certain inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed. Results: A wide spectrum of research from various Saudi Arabian locations was included in the study, with a major focus on female individuals. A discernible pattern indicated a high proportion of individuals with breast cancer and mammography screening. Our study concludes that Saudi women know very little about breast cancer and mmammography in general. Interventions must be put into place in order to combat this ignorance.
