The translator, as the subject during the process of translation, is the most
important and active factor in translation, whose subjectivity plays a key role in the
translation practice. Not until the 1960s, did some researchers start to study the role of
the translator in the process of the translation. Based on the previous studies on the
subjectivity of the translator at home and abroad, this study mainly focuses on the
subjectivity of the translator from cultural perspective. And it makes an analysis of the
factors that influence translator’s subjectivity from three aspects: translation standards,
purpose of translator and personal experiences of the translator. The conclusion is of
great importance and practical value to cultural communication and the teaching of
foreign language.

Lupus Miliaris Disseminatus Faciei is an idiopathic granulomatous skin
disease affecting the face. It is also called as Acne agminata or Facial idiopathic
granulomas with regressive evolution. It has a predilection for lower eyelids, forehead,
nasolabial folds and perioral areas. Caseating as well as non- caseating epithelioid cell
granulomas are identified on histopathological examination therefore differentials such
as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, granulomatous rosacea and other granulomatous disorders
should be ruled out. A thirteen year old female presented with multiple papules
perinasally and periorally around chin. A skin biopsy was performed from the lesion
and sent for histopathological examination. On microscopic examination, a
granulomatous reaction pattern was seen in the dermis. X-ray chest was unremarkable.
Mantoux test was negative. Apple- jelly nodule like appearance was observed on
diascopy. A diagnosis of LMDF was rendered on histopathology after clinical
correlation. The diagnosis of LMDF should be kept in mind in case of papular eruptions
on face not responding to antitubercular treatment. Mainstay of treatment is tetracycline
and oral isotretinoin.

The effects of the financial crisis in America, which happened to be spoken
as one of the most advanced countries, spread from there to the other countries of the
world and none were spared of its effects. For some of the countries, the effect was
immediate whereas in some much smaller countries the effect was slow to come. One
of the countries that have been lately affected by this is the Sultanate of Oman. This is
a small high income economy that is highly dependent on its oil resources. It is a small
member of the OPEC (Organization of Petroliam Exporting Countries) oil-cartel with
a share of only 0.4% of the world‘s proven oil stocks and 1% of the world production
according to the EIU (Economist Intelligent Unit), CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)
World fact book. This reflects the needs for carrying out policy changes in order to
increase its exports and imports as well as to adopt measures whereby a diversification
should be seen on its sources of revenue. Effective trade policies which shall include
Omanization, promotion of the tax policy and improving both the SME (Small &
Medium Enterprises) as well as the tourism industry shall help in the long run to
nullify or reduce the negative impacts of the crisis. Further, if modernization in the
existing political system is brought about and the investment by other countries, along
with promotion of its own cottage industries like production of the Omani Halva, Date
processing and Oudh and Frankincense export increased little if not much can help
achieve to turn around the present scenario.

The policy on the management of Industrial Forest Plantation (HTI) is a great opportunity for the local government of North Gorontalo Regency to develop the potential and quality of forest resources. This study aims to examine the impact of government policies on the management of Industrial Forest Plantation for indigenous peoples in North Gorontalo District. Data collection methods are carried out through survey stages, namely field observations, interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities with stakeholders. The results obtained that the Industrial Plantation Forest policy on the one hand have a positive impact, but on the other hand have a negative impact. The positive impact is that it can spur regional and rural economic growth and open jobs to overcome unemployment. In addition, the negative impact is a decrease in community agricultural yields and interventions in the utilization of forest products. It is suggested that the regional government provide assistance and supervision on the policies of Industrial Plantation Forests which cover the ownership of Industrial Plantation Forests and community lands. So that the community has certainty about structuring the HTI work area, and the community can actively participate without causing conflict.

The first successful nephrectomy was performed by the German
surgeon Gustav Simon on August 2, 1869 in Heidelberg. There are various indications
for this procedure, such as renal cell carcinoma, a non-functioning kidney (which may
cause high blood pressure) and a congenitally small kidney. Study period was between
June 2014 and March 2018. Total nephrectomies done during this period were 146.
Nephrectomies constituted 0.94 % of all the specimens received. Among them 94 were
males and 52 were females constituting 64.4 % males and 35.6 % females respectively.
In this study, among the 146 nephrectomies, majority was non-neoplastic lesions (114
cases) and 32 cases were neoplastic lesions. Among the 19 cases of renal cell
carcinoma, majority cases were of clear cell pattern (8 cases), clear cell with papillary
pattern, clear cells with anaplastic areas, chromophil type and chromophobe type, renal
cell carcinoma –sarcomatoid variant. Occurrence of various pathological conditions
such as infective, inflammatory and neoplastic lesions is common and incidental. Early
diagnosis and treatment of the infective and inflammatory conditions will save the
kidneys. In case of neoplastic lesions early identification of clinical features and proper
usage of various diagnostic modalities will limit the Nephrectomies.
