From the time malware came into existence, a number of methods have been formulated to handle the different malware forms. The different detection techniques identified and used operate based on either of the two principles, which are signature-based or behaviour-based. While significant progress has been made, the challenge has remained to be the dynamic form of the malware. Every day there comes a different form of malware, making it difficult to have a single technique for detection. Recently, researchers have proposed malware detection systems using data mining and machine learning techniques. This paper, therefore, looks at all these techniques and compares the different techniques used in different platforms

Biotechnology is one of the products that has been achieved through an interaction of science and technology (Ortiz, 1998). Improvements in biotechnology has brought about solutions to various issues affecting people that did not seem to have a solution, such as insufficient food reserves to feed the masses. However, just like any other concept, it has both advantages, as well as some challenges. Biotechnology applies primary biological principals and techniques towards the development of new products and services. The distinctive microgravity environment of space has proven to affect the tissues and cells in certain ways that are interesting in biotechnology research (Masini et al., 2012). Therefore, space biotechnology can also be described as the scientific studies that are fulfilled using scientific equipment in the outer space, this also comprises of the use of space technology for a wide spectrum of the research disciplines, which include physics, medicine, biology, material sciences and earth sciences.

The truth is that translation does have lots of theories but no general theory. Another myth has been that studies in translation have only resulted in a mixture of fragmentary theories. Truth is that there are a number of candidates who have come forwards as general theories of translation. Skopos forms one of these candidates. Skopos theory is a general functional theory that appears to be strategically placed on the translation studies map. The question, however, is how well the theory has stood the test of time? This essay seeks to provide a general retrospective evaluation of the theory, in light of Mona Baker’s (2005) statement, “Translators have to prove to themselves as to others that they are in control of what they do; that they do not just translate well because they have a “flair” for translation, but rather because, like other professionals, they have made a conscious effort to understand various aspects of their work.” Skopos theory is a unique theory from other translation theories since it is a characteristic of a deductive, syntactic theory which involves a limited number of explicit axioms. Skopos shares the same meaning with the word “Zweck”, which means purpose, or Funktion (Vermeer, 1986). However, in this case, “function”, is not defined in the same context but rather could come across as the “intended effect”.
