Exploration of French-Chinese Translation Methods of Electrical Engineering Terminology Using Online Image-Text Retrieval Mode
Authors: Li Tian
Published: June 2023

With the incessant propulsion of the Open Door Policy, which is related to the consolidation of international collaborative partnerships, an increasing number of Chinese companies are moving toward cooperating countries to participate in infrastructure construction, employing a win-win strategy in favor of the people and governments of both countries. Among the cooperation domains, our country’s electrical companies have achieved a series of remarkable results in the international Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) project market with their outstanding business capabilities and technical advantages. Nevertheless, some shortcomings cannot be overlooked, the most notable of which appears to be the impediment associated with engineering translation, which has always been an obsession among translators of Chinese companies. Taking the transmission line project in the Republic of Madagascar as an example, an analysis of French-Chinese translation methods of electrical engineering terminology in the field of the transmission line is carried out.
Contrast and Fusion: The Role of Regional Culture in Shaping Jiangsu Paper-Cut Art
Authors: Gu Yan
Published: June 2023

The Chinese paper-cut art, first recorded in the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties (220 AD–589 AD), has witnessed the changes of times, yet it still retains its artistic vitality. Chinese papercuts can be divided into two schools: the northern and the southern. Jiangsu, located in the region of the Yellow River and Huai River, is the geographical dividing line between those two schools. Therefore, in Jiangsu Province, not only the rough northern art form (such as in Xuzhou papercut) but also the graceful southern art form (such as in Jintan papercut) is evident. In addition, the unique combined paper-cut style (such as in Yangzhou and Nanjing papercuts) can be appreciated here. Although several scholars have analyzed the artistic characteristics of Jiangsu papercut based on cultural background, very few have discussed the differences between the northern and the southern in terms of content, connotation, and style. Through literature review and collected works made by local craftsmen and inheritors of this tradition, this article aims to show readers the contrast and integration of papercuts in these four places under the influence of different cultural and economic backgrounds in order to better understand the role of regional factors in shaping the art form of papercuts in Jiangsu Province. Nowadays, with the change in people’s lifestyles, the living space of traditional papercuts has shrunk drastically, and its practicability in the past has faded. Instead, people are searching for and creating cultural and artistic value in museums, tourist attractions, and commodity transactions. Among them, some works have deviated from the cultural background of traditional paper-cut art. Therefore, this paper provides a basis for the current development of this art form in Jiangsu.

Published: June 2023

Requirements for the quality of housing have been increasing in recent years. Many existing buildings can no longer meet the needs of residents due to functional, layout, and other issues, and need to be renovated. However, traditional renovation methods have problems such as high pollution and high consumption. With the rapid development of prefabricated construction and green environmental protection concepts, the problems of traditional interior renovation can be resolved using prefabricated interior decoration. As a new and advanced method of renovation, prefabricated renovation reduces construction segments, workload, pollution, and waste, and it promotes the upgrading of the traditional renovation industry.

Authors: Guo Wenbo , An Wen , Zhou Xuekun
Published: June 2023

With the rapid development of the economy and the continuous progress of society, the competition for talents is becoming more and more intense, and the employment pressure of college students is increasing sharply. More and more college students are choosing to do part-time jobs while studying to improve their communication and hands-on skills and lay a solid foundation for future employment. However, due to the people with malicious intents, the part-time job market has become a mess, and cheating, skimming, trafficking have occurred from time to time, which are a great threat to the students’ safety. Besides, the enthusiasm of college students towards their part-time jobs will also be affected. This article is based on the innovation and entrepreneurship project, “Blueberry Part-time Job,” for college students at Xi’an Medical University, which provides a reference for the regularization of part-time jobs for college students and the construction of a part-time job platform for college students.
Fire Resistance Characteristics of Firewall Structure Associated with Impact Damage Induced by Explosion
Authors: Cho Hye Rim , Yoo Jeong Hwa , Seo Jung Kwan
Published: June 2023

When a fire accident accompanied by an explosion occurs, the surrounding firewalls are affected by impact and thermal loads. Damaged firewalls due to accidental loads may not fully perform their essential function. Therefore, this paper proposes an advanced methodology for evaluating the fire resistance performance of firewalls damaged by explosions. The fragments were assumed to be scattered, and fire occurred as a vehicle exploded in a large compartment of a roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) vessel. The impact velocity of the fragments was calculated based on the TNT equivalent mass corresponding to the explosion pressure. Damage and thermal-structural response analyses of the firewall were performed using Ansys LS-DYNA code. The fire resistance reduction was analyzed in terms of the temperature difference between fire-exposed and unexposed surfaces, temperature increase rate, and reference temperature arrival time. The degree of damage and the fire resistance performance of the firewalls varied significantly depending on impact loads. When naval ships and RO-RO vessels that carry various explosive substances are designed, it is reasonable to predict that the fire resistance performance will be degraded according to the explosion characteristics of the cargo.

Deviation is one of the characteristics that the poet uses in the construction of the poetic text and through it to express thoughts, feelings and emotions, but this expression in a language completely different from ordinary language, so the poet resorts to using an interesting language. Meanwhile, semantic deviation plays a significant role in giving poetry aesthetics. In this regard, our research entitled (Semantic Deviations in Abdulqadir Saeed's Poetic Texts) attempts to answer the question of whether he has been able to artistically express semantic deviations in his poetic texts.

Finally, the results, sources used and a summary of the study are presented in English.

Las pinturas en la capilla de San Pedro Mártir de la iglesia de Pinseque (Zaragoza): un ciclo alegórico en torno al santo de Verona
Authors: Calvo Asensio Juan Carlos
Published: June 2023

Resumen
La cofradía de San Pedro Mártir de Verona, fundada en Pinseque (Zaragoza) en 1664, necesitada de un espacio para las reuniones y la custodia de la imagen del patrón, alzó una capilla a mediados del siglo XVIII en el templo de su localidad. El espacio cuenta con un pensado mensaje simbólico destinado a ensalzar las glorias y bondades del mártir italiano. Analizamos el ciclo, que cuenta con interesantes paralelos nacionales e internacionales y que retoma el ejemplo de la tumba medieval del personaje, donde la alegoría ayuda a reforzar el ciclo hagiográfico.
Abstract
The Confraternity of Saint Peter Martyr of Verona, founded in Pinseque (Saragossa) in 1664, needed a space for its meetings and the custody of the image of the saint patron. That’s why they paid the construction of a chapel in the church of their town in the middle of the 18th century. This space contains a symbolic message that describes the glories of the Italian martyr. We study this cycle, its national and international parallels, and the example of the medieval tomb of Saint Peter Martyr, where the allegory adds new meanings to the hagiography.

The Formation of Old English Adverbs: Structural Description and Functional Explanation
Authors: Gema Maíz Villalta
Published: June 2023

The aim of this article is to analyze the formation of Old English adverbs (A-Y) as retrieved from the lexical database of Old English Nerthus within the theoretical framework of the Layered Structure of the Word. Firstly, a critical review of the literature on Old English adverb formation is offered in order to emphasize the necessity of an exhaustive and theoretically up-to-date study that distinguishes clearly synchronic from diachronic aspects on the one hand, and inflectional from derivational aspects on the other. Secondly, an exhaustive analysis of the derivation of adverbs in Old English by means of different word-formation processes (zero derivation, conversion, affixation and compounding) is given. In the theoretical part, the conclusion reached is that conversion requires a Complex Word structure and that a distinction has to be drawn between syntactic exocentricity and morphological exocentricity.
Contending Heterotopic Artistic Space and Spatial/Stretched Time in T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
Authors: Al-Joulan Nayef Ali
Published: June 2023

Arguing against the almost unanimous consensus that the notion of ‘Time’ occupies a position of artistic and thematic centrality in Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” (and in Eliot’s other work, mainly the Four Quartets) , this paper attempts to show that the notion of ‘Space’, the seemingly absent, absented and/or camouflaged, constitutes the centre of the poem, overriding the superficial notion of time. Eliot’s distinctive sense of space is examined in the light of Michel Foucault’s concept of ‘Heterotopology’, to show how Prufrock oscillates between various sites in the poem to gain experience, in the process of which geography overtakes knowledge. That is, Prufrock’s dilemma lies in coming to terms with the contending spaces in his psyche, since his journey is a hyperreal wandering through multiple sites of heterotopic space. The contending domains of Prufrock’s psyche (past actions, thoughts, feelings etc.) are artistic, intellectual, philosophic and religious, though mainly artistic and associated with aspects of tradition that Eliot’s individual talent felt anxious about. Thus, the richness of Eliot’s poem lies in its intense recruitment of past poetry, art, poets, authors, philosophers and artists, becoming hence a space/place for contest between those various revisited sites and itself.
Native American Humor as Resistance: Breaking Identity Moulds in Thomas King’s Green Grass, Running Water
Authors: Ibarrola-Armendariz Aitor
Published: June 2023

Although in appearance a hilarious literary work about border crossing and cultural interaction, Thomas King’s Green Grass, Running Water also proves to be an effective narrative of resistance in which a severe critique of the socio-surgical incisions that the Western colonial paradigm has inflicted on the indigenous peoples is articulated. By means of a Native brand of humor, which combines techniques such as subversive intertextual references, plays on words, anachronistic elements, the inclusion of trickster figures or the satiric treatment of stereotypes, King manages to undo the white man’s performance of epistemological and spiritual domination. This article shows how the comic sign that Vizenor, Allen, Arteaga, and others have studied in the oral storytelling and the literature of the oppressed can in fact be turned into a successful weapon to disarm the oppressor in unequal power relations. A close reading of King’s text reveals that humor can be productively used to challenge and subvert the colonial modes of representation and identity moulds that have imprisoned Native Americans for centuries. Thus, the author could be cogently described, following Vizenor, as a “postindian warrior”.
Once Were Warriors, but how about Maoritanga Now? Novel and Film as a Dialogic Third Space
Authors: Martin Renes Cornelis
Published: June 2023

Alan Duff’s bestselling novel Once Were Warriors (1990) raised bitter controversies for its harsh depiction of indigenous alienation in the ghettos of New Zealand’s cities. Duff is part Maori and wrote from his own slum experience, and his text shifted responsibility for the Maori predicament and possible solutions partly back to the victims themselves, which met with fierce criticism from indigenous and progressive non-indigenous readership. Under the direction of Lee Tamahori, also of mixed descent, the novel found its way to the screen in 1995 and thus reached a world audience. Given that Duff’s original screenplay was not used for the homonymous film, it should come as no surprise that novel and film tell different stories. While both embed a dysfunctional Maori family within a crippling urban environment, their content and discursive strategies are not quite the same. Applying a Bakhtinian approach to New Zealand’s postcoloniality, this essay investigates up to what point the discursive dialogue between both narratives obeys the requirements of the narrative medium chosen and results in the marketing of different agendas and sites of contestation.
Definite Article Use in the Interlanguage of Spanish Speakers: A Multidimensional Problem
Authors: Laura Torrado Mariñas
Published: June 2023

This paper aims to study the relationship between the different forms of definite article use in Spanish and English and its inherent influence on the acquisitional process of Spanish learners of English. A study was carried out with three groups of ten intermediate-level students of English, plus one advanced-level group, all of whom were native speakers of Spanish. The study consisted of three different types of exercise comprising translation, filling-in the gaps and one either/or task. The results showed that transfer from the mother tongue was the major cause of interference in the learners’ interlanguage. Due to the grammatical differences between the two languages, overgeneralization, omission and overuse appear so as to compensate for the lack of knowledge in the second language, suggesting that the Multiple Effects Principle might be at work as well. As a consequence of all the aforementioned processes, the Interlanguage (henceforth, IL) will tend to fossilize into non-standard constructions where the definite article in English should not be used.
Midwinter Spring, The Still Point and Dante. The Aspiration to the Eternal Present in T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets
Authors: Llorens-Cubedo Dídac
Published: June 2023

The imagery of Four Quartets makes T. S. Eliot’s indebtedness to Dante’s poetic imagination evident. Among the images of Dantean inspiration, the “still point” and “midwinter spring” effectively express the concept of an eternal present, central to Eliot’s poetic sequence. In the Quartets, opposites are reconciled and “past and future are gathered” at “the still point”. This still point can be related to the image associated with God in canto XXVIII of Dante’s Paradiso: a point of dazzling light. Midwinter spring, on the other hand, represents a state of spiritual fulfilment, out of time and space, and its depiction can be assumed to echo St Benedict’s words in canto XXII of Paradiso. Both the still point and midwinter spring hint at the same referent (eternal present, or the timeless) and show that Eliot’s fascination with the philosophical concept of time combines with his admiration for Dante’s powerful imagination.
"Whatever her Faith may be": Some Notes on Catholicism in Maria Edgeworth's Oeuvre
Authors: Fernández Rodríguez Carmen María
Published: June 2023

The relationship between the Anglo-Irish writer Maria Edgeworth (1768- 1849) and Catholicism has always been close and conditioned by the authoress’s inscription in the Protestant Ascendancy ancatholod by her father’s enlightened ideas. The intention of the present study is to reevaluate the role of Roman Catholics in the fictional and non-fictional texts some of which Edgeworth wrote alone and others in collaboration with her father. The Edgeworths were more interested in individual worth than in sectarianism and promoted the economic and intellectual advancement of Ireland, a process in which Catholics not only played an important part but also appeared in a quite favourable light. The defence and acceptance of Catholics is articulated in Edgeworth’s works around the insistence on the education of the Irish Catholics and the depiction of the legitimisation of the Anglo-Irish landlord and his marriage to a woman of Catholic ancestry. It will be shown that, rather than embrace the position of a colonist, Edgeworth bravely attacked prejudice and abuses of power on the part of the English against the Irish and at the same time she foresaw a society where Roman Catholics would retain their identity and would also occupy the same social level as the rest of the British.
The Multidirectionality of Memory: Networks of Trauma in Post-9/11 Literature
Authors: Donn Katharina
Published: June 2023

9/11 fictional literature shows a striking propensity to conjure up other, historically older traumata and intertextual references in an associative framework which moreover introduces into the texts an oscillation between narrative representation and indexical reference, and which I will exemplify in a reading of J.S. Foer’s Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and Art Spiegelman’s In the Shadow of No Towers. Based on an understanding of trauma as a structure of reception rather than a phenomenon essentially linked to specific events, trauma in my approach emerges not only as an interpretational framework for dealing with the aesthetics and psychology of post-9/11 fiction, but also as an intercultural and diachronic link which fictional literature experiments with. Working with the model of multidirectional collective memory developed by Michael Rothberg, this specific quality of intertextuality and intergenerational dialogue gives rise to the impression that the memorialization of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, functions in a more dynamic way than it at first glance appears to do. In this contemporary context, literary trauma therefore emerges not primarily as an un-representable void, but must rather be described in terms of a productive, albeit liminal in-between space of both individual and cultural remembering and aesthetic representation.
Translating Anger into Care: An Examination of Black Female Identity and Bonding in Zadie Smith’s Swing Time (2016)
Authors: Martínez-Quiles Teresa
Published: June 2023

This article attempts to explore the political possibilities of anger as a potential source of Black female identity construction and solidarity in Zadie Smith’s Swing Time (2016). I will argue that Audre Lorde’s insights into anger in Sister Outsider (1984) are particularly suited to understanding how anger functions in Smith’s fictional work, where this emotion is presented as a powerful “energy” (Lorde 2019: 120) that has the potential to move the subject towards a more empowered selfhood. Nevertheless, I also explore, through the discourses of Lorde (2019) and bell hooks (1995, 2012), the social boundaries and potentially damaging effects attached to this emotion. More specifically, I consider how anger, by itself, is not enough to ensure a stable sense of self because it does not directly motivate the development of female solidarity. Instead, Smith demonstrates how anger may be effectively complemented through the paradigm of care, which does encourage the protagonists to move towards each other, and towards the liberating potential of a more outward view of the world.

As fortes chuvas geram enchentes e inundações, comprometendo a qualidade de vida da população local e causando danos significativos à economia. A bacia do rio Sirinhaém é constituída por rios perenes e promove vazões regularizadas significativas. As fortes chuvas que ocorreram em julho de 2010 causaram, por exemplo, grandes consequências às unidades de saúde básica, unidades de ensino e habitações nos municípios de Barra de Guabiraba, Palmeirinha, Cortês e Gameleira. Dessa forma, o estudo tem como objetivo o mapeamento e a identificação de áreas vulneráveis à inundação utilizando a metodologia AHP, desenvolvida por Saaty em 1970, na bacia do rio Sirinhaém. A metodologia inicialmente atribui grau de importância para as variáveis estudadas, sendo elas: altitude, declividade, tipo de solo, uso e ocupação do solo, e em seguida aplica a álgebra de mapas utilizando o software QGIS. O mapeamento resultante mostra uma região majoritariamente com baixa a moderada vulnerabilidade, apresentando alta vulnerabilidade apenas em áreas de baixas altitudes e declividades, como no exultório da bacia e zonas próximas aos rios.Palavras-chave: vulnerabilidade; inundação; Processo Hierárquico Analítico (AHP).                                                                                                                                 Flood vulnerability analysis in the Sirinhaém river basin using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method A B S T R A C THeavy rains generate river floods and flash floods, compromising the quality of life of the local population and causing significant damage to the economy. The Sirinhaém river is constituted by perennial rivers and provides a significant capacity of regularized flows. The heavy rains that occurred in July 2010 had, for example, great consequences for basic health units, teaching units and homes at Barra de Guabiraba, Palmeirinha, Cortês and Gameleira. Thus, the study aims to map and the identify areas vulnerable to flooding using the AHP methodology, developed by Saaty in 1970. This methodology initially assigns a degree of importance to the variables studied, namely: altitude, slope, soil type, land use and occupation, and then applies map algebra using the QGIS software. The mapping results revel a region mostly with low to moderate vulnerability, with hight vulnerability seen only in areas of lower altitude and slopes as seen in the basin exutory and river zones.Keywords: vulnerability. flooding.

Der Gegenstand der folgenden Analyse ist der Debütroman von Alexandra Tobor, einer Vertreterin der „jungen Prosa mit polnischen Wurzeln“ (Helbig-Mischewski/Zduniak-Wiktorowicz 2016) innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Literatur. In ihrem Roman stellt die Autorin die Ausreise der kindlichen Protagonistin und ihrer Familie aus Polen nach Deutschland Ende der 1980er Jahre als eine Art „Zusammenprall der Kulturen“ (Huntington 1997) dar. Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es daher zu untersuchen, welche narrativen Strategien die Autorin anwendet, um die binären Gegensätze zwischen der Herkunfts- und der Aufnahmekultur darzustellen. Indem ich den Verlauf der Geschichte und die Verteilung der thematischen und emotionalen Akzente in ihr verfolge, versuche ich zu beweisen, dass die im Titel verwendete Formel vom „verlorenen“ und „wiedergewonnenen“ Paradies der Komplexität des liminalen Zustands der Protagonistin und des im Roman dargestellten Bildes von Polen und Deutschland entspricht.

West Papua has a relatively high risk of corruption during the implementation of its public procurement. It is critical to recognize that public procurement business processes are analyzed as an ecosystem with interactions between actors. This research aims to determine the need for a conducive ecosystem for public procurement (PBJP) in the West Papua province and propose recommendations for improving or increasing the credibility of public procurement. This research is qualitative because primary data are obtained through interviews and forum group discussions with selected participants. The results of the study show that the public procurement ecosystem consists of Budget User Authorities (KPA) or Contract Officers (PPK), Working Units for Public Procurement (UKPBJ), Vendors, Internal Control, and  Regulators who are credible procurement actors as focal offers. Examining each actor's issues has led to the conclusion that to boost the credibility of public procurement goals. It is necessary to strengthen leadership commitment, improve the quality of human resources, and simplify laws. The research findings are expected to assist practitioners and policymakers in understanding why there is a lack of public procurement ecosystem in West Papua and propose the necessary corrective policies.

The study aims to identify how virtual reality technology can help protect and conserve flora and fauna in national parks and other environmental settings. To this end, the literature published in the Scopus database is examined. A Systematic Literature Review methodology from 2018 to 2022 and an Empirical Research (survey) applied to tourism in natural areas, mainly national parks, have been proposed. Virtual reality technology is particularly useful as a complement or alternative to visiting national parks. The main results indicate that, currently, daily life confronts us with stressful situations that can be mitigated through ecotourism, as well as virtual reality applications, such as games and videos, which interactively inform about the species of flora and fauna present in the park visited. This helps in the conservation and protection of endangered species, the conservation of the forest, as well as archaeological heritage sites present in these natural parks. The development and implementation of this technology varies from one context to another. It is beneficial for people with some kind of disability or for the physical effort involved in long walks, even on steep terrain, and sometimes it improves the conditions of access to the national park and the dangers related to such an exciting adventure.

This study aimed to investigate the challenges faced, and strategies adopted by micro-family food businesses (MFFB) in Malaysia and examine the family's role in managing such businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. A qualitative research approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews with MFFB owners. The interviews ceased after six participants, ensuring data saturation and the interpreted data's trustworthiness is explained. The findings revealed that MFFB faced multiple challenges, including a drop in sales, business closure, financial instability, and pressure on fixed costs. Besides, this research captured several unique survival strategies adopted by the MFFB owners, such as generosity towards customers, changes in operation, online advertisements, customer satisfaction surveys, maintaining food quality and prices, initiating takeaway orders, and collaboration with food aggregators. The results indicate that task management, responsibility, and reliance are essential to family-owned businesses as significant business strategies. It implies that family relationships play a significant role in the business's direction and business survival; future directions might compare the results to a larger business capacity. This study sheds light on the role of families in managing MFFB during the COVID-19 pandemic and provides practical implications for policymakers, business owners, and practitioners to support MFFB in overcoming challenges during unexpected adversity. By better understanding the challenges faced and strategies adopted by MFFB, it is anticipated to gain greater insight into how the Malaysian food business can become more resilient in the future.

Las relaciones políticas y socioeconómicas actuales se desarrollan bajo un sistema económico capitalista neoliberal, ocasionan ciertas injusticias sociales y medio ambientales que se pueden manifestar, ejemplo, en que los habitantes de las regiones consideradas como más vulnerables, se vean forzados a desplazarse debido a los efectos negativos del cambio climático. El objetivo de este artículo fue el mostrar evidencia documental de cómo este tipo de desplazamientos no pueden ni deben verse solamente desde un lente ambiental, sino desde todo el contexto social, político y económico en el que se desenvuelven. Mediante un estudio exploratorio sobre cómo se han dado los desplazamientos ambientales y climáticos dentro del contexto del capitalismo neoliberal en el cual se encuentra nuestro mundo globalizado. Éste se realizó desde un enfoque y metodología cualitativa. Los resultados coincidieron en que el sistema neoliberal actual crea mano de obra barata, ya que sigue siendo más barato producir en países subdesarrollados donde hay menos regulaciones laborales y ambientales. El tema de los desplazamientos por cambio climático debe centrarse en la construcción de resiliencia de las regiones vulnerables con estrategias de adaptación para efectos negativos que son difíciles de mitigar; y así evitar que más personas tengan que desplazarse en busca de mejores oportunidades de vida, por lo tanto, es necesario que trabajemos por una justicia climática y social.
