On the Construction of China’s Image in D.C.Lau’s Translation of Tao Te Ching
Authors: Zhang Xiujuan
Published: October 2023

Imagology is concerned with how identity and image are gradually formed, spread, strengthened and even shaped in a specific social and historical space. Translation is one of the important means and carriers of image construction and shaping. As a classic work of Taoism, Tao Te Ching contains infinite images of China. The English version of Tao Te Ching, translated by Chinese Sinologist D. C. Lau, is among the top 10 best-sellers on Amazon in the United States and has been widely praised by readers. D. C. Lau’s English translation of Tao Te Ching introduced Chinese Taoism to the West, and at the same time constructed an objective and true image of ancient China. Taking the English version of Tao Te Ching translated by D. C. Lau as an example, this paper analyzes the construction of China’s image in the English translation of Chinese classics from the perspective of Imagology on the level of intrinsic textual analysis. It is found that D.C. Lau’s translation constructed objective and true China’s image. Through his translation, a relatively serious, solemn and orthodox Chinese image, the ancient Chinese people’s wise image, ancient Chinese image of filial piety and fraternal kindness as well as the image of eagerness of peace and pursuit of harmonious and equal relationship between countries were re-presented.

Authors: De Lira Soares Blader Henrique , Souza Girioli Camargo Lumila
Published: October 2023

O setor de construção civil foi relevante para a economia nacional, tanto no que diz respeito à sua participação de 6,48% no Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) de 2012 quanto na geração de mais de 2,2 milhões de empregos diretos, tendo atingido seu auge em 2012. A crise sanitária gerada pela pandemia decorrente do vírus SARS-CoV-2, causador da covid-19, no entanto, parece ter agravado a queda no desempenho e reduzido a participação do setor no PIB de 2020, em comparação a 2019. Este trabalho buscou evidenciar o impacto da pandemia sanitária sobre a liquidez, a rentabilidade e o endividamento das companhias do setor de incorporação imobiliária listadas na bolsa de valores de São Paulo e sediadas no mesmo estado, comparando os resultados de nove indexadores, obtidos a partir das informações contábeis padronizadas e disponibilizadas pela B3 em relaçãoaos anos calendários de 2017 a 2020. Os resultados apresentados demonstraram que a pandemia não teve impacto direto sobre a maior parte dos indexadores, sendo que, entre eles, apenas os índices de rentabilidade não apresentarammelhores resultados no período analisado; a liquidez, por sua vez, sofreu redução, acompanhada pelo aumento significativo do grau de endividamento. Porém, pela limitação temporal deste estudo, a verificação dos efeitos da pandemia de covid-19 nos indexadores de desempenho das incorporadoras demandará um exame mais detido de hipóteses macro e microeconômicas (causas) e seus impactos a longo prazo no setor analisado.

Some Observations on the Importance of the Translation of the Story “The Luminous Resurrection of Christ” in Shaping and Developing the Easter Tale
Authors:   Universita degli Studi di Urbino Carlo Bo, Cavazza Antonella
Published: October 2023

The article examines the factors that contributed to the formation of the Easter story genre in Russia. The author connects this process with the work of the Slavophiles, analyzes the context in which the European “Christmas” tale was not only translated in Russia, but was built into Russian culture. Emblematic of this transformation was the story of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol in Prose,” which was published under the title “The Luminous Resurrection of Christ” in Russia. The article examines some of the changes made to Dickens’ text, on the basis of which it can be posited that the free translation of the work came out of the Slavophil environment. It is assumed that D. A. Valuev and A. S. Khomyakov jointly planned and carried out the translation and adaptation of the story. The author of the article notes that the action is transferred to Russia, the setting of the story and the characters are invested with Russian names, features, habits and customs, and, most significantly, Christmas – the religious holiday at the centre of Dickens’ story — is replaced by Easter.

Published: October 2023

The education sector is undergoing huge transformations in response to changing situations and circumstances. In order to effectively adapt to the evolving demands of the new situation, innovative work behaviours among educators have become increasingly crucial. This study aims to investigate teachers’ perceptions of innovative work behaviours in Jordan, evaluate the implementation of internal marketing within the Jordanian education sector, and examine the influence of internal marketing on enhancing innovative work behaviours. Drawing on a qualitative research methodology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers of the first three grades in Jordanian public schools. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret the interview data. The main themes that emerged from the analysis were motivation and collaboration. Findings show that motivated teachers are more likely to invest their time and effort in experimenting with innovative teaching methods and finding solutions to educational challenges. Collaboration fosters an environment of shared knowledge, support, and creativity among teachers. These findings imply the influence of internal marketing in guiding the motivation and collaboration among teachers. By understanding the impact of internal marketing on innovative work behaviours, policymakers and educational institutions can develop effective strategies to enhance the quality of education in the country.

Efficient biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles using Lacticaseibacillus paracasei SCFF20: A potential bio-factory for selenite conversion
Authors: Hu Lujun , Cao Yulan , Chen Xiaodie , Wang Zuojun , Xu Teng , Xiong Dake , Zhao Zhifeng
Published: October 2023

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that plays a critical role
in maintaining human physiological metabolism. Among its various forms,
selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been found to possess higher degree
of bioavailability and lower toxicity. This study screened 21 probiotics
and identified a Se(IV)-resistant strain of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei
SCFF20 that effectively converts sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) to SeNPs. The
SeNPs produced by L. paracasei SCFF20 were purified, freeze-dried, and
systematically characterized using SEM-EDX, DLS, XRD, Raman
spectroscopy, and FTIR techniques. SEM–EDX analysis revealed that Se
was the primary constituent of the biogenic nanoparticles. The
synthesized SeNPs were spherical and polydisperse, with an average
particle size of approximately 500.62 nm. XRD patterns and Raman
spectroscopy confirmed the biologically amorphous nature of the
fabricated nanoparticles. Additionally, FTIR spectral analyses
demonstrated the presence of proteins, exopolysaccharides, and lipids
coating the surface of the SeNPs. Moreover, the reduction rate of SeNPs,
as measured by ICP-OES, was determined to be 91.42%. The findings of
this study highlight the potential of L. paracasei SCFF20 as a probiotic
capable of producing SeNPs, which can be used as a bio-factory for the
safe production of biogenic SeNPs for nutritional supplements and
functional foods.
Event-scale impact and recovery of forest cover following wildfire in the Northern Rocky Mountains
Authors: Epstein Margaret , Seielstad Carl , Moran Christopher
Published: October 2023

Anthropogenic climate change is expected to lead to forest conversion to
grass and shrubland due to more extreme fire behavior and hotter and
drier post-fire conditions. However, field surveys of wilderness areas
in the Northern Rocky Mountains of the United States indicate robust
conifer regeneration on burned sites, indicating this region might be
more resistant to conversion than dryer southerly forests. This study
utilizes a machine learning approach to monitor canopy cover on burned
sites in two large wilderness areas from 1985 to 2021 and quantify fire
impact and recovery. We used a GBM model to integrate LiDAR and Landsat
observations of the region to predict canopy cover. A time series was
then calculated for 352 distinct sites. Fire impact was highly
correlated with severity and was consistent with the mixed severity fire
regime characteristic of the region. Of the burned area studied, 85%
showed evidence of recovery. Sites that are failing to recover are
occurring more recently than their recovering counterparts, with 60% of
non-recovering sites burning for the first time after 2003. Extended
secondary mortality was common even on recovering sites, so more
monitoring time might be required to determine which sites are truly not
going to recover. While median recovery time has remained stable through
the study period, in recent years there have been more outlier fires
with long recovery times. Of the 18 sites with projected recovery times
greater than 150 years, 14 occurred since 2002. While fires that are
failing to recover or recovering slowly make up proportionally small
portions of the landscape, they are of particular management interest
because they may be harbingers of future forest conversion.
M2F2-RCNN: Multi-functional faster RCNN based on multi-scale feature fusion for region search in remote sensing images
Authors: Yin Shoulin , Wang Liguo , Wang Qunming , Ivanovic Mirjana , Yang Jinghui
Published: October 2023

In order to realize fast and accurate search of sensitive regions in remote sensing images, we propose a multi-functional faster RCNN based on multi-scale feature fusion model for region search. The feature extraction network is based on ResNet50 and the dilated residual blocks are utilized for multi-layer and multi-scale feature fusion. We add a path aggregation network with a convolution block attention module (CBAM) attention mechanism in the backbone network to improve the efficiency of feature extraction. Then, the extracted feature map is processed, and RoIAlign is used to improve the pooling operation of regions of interest and it can improve the calculation speed. In the classification stage, an improved nonmaximum suppression is used to improve the classification accuracy of the sensitive region. Finally, we conduct cross validation experiments on Google Earth dataset and the DOTA dataset. Meanwhile, the comparison experiments with the state -of the- art methods also prove the high efficiency of the proposed method in region search ability.

Published: October 2023

OBJECTIVE

Observational studies have indicated that cocoa flavanol supplementation may be a promising strategy for type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention. We aimed to directly evaluate its clinical efficacy in a large randomized clinical trial (RCT).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD

The Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COMSOS) was a 2 × 2 factorial RCT performed from June 2015 to December 2020 that tested cocoa extract and a multivitamin for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. A total of 21,442 U.S. adults free of CVD and recent cancer, including 12,666 women aged ≥65 years and 8,776 men aged ≥60 years, were randomly assigned to receive cocoa extract [500 mg/day cocoa flavanols, including 80 mg (−)-epicatechin] or placebo. In this study, we included 18,381 participants without diabetes at enrollment and examined the effect of cocoa extract supplementation on incident self-reported T2D in intention-to-treat analyses.

RESULTS

During a median follow-up of 3.5 years, 801 incident T2D cases were reported. Compared with placebo, taking a cocoa extract supplement did not reduce T2D (adjusted hazard ratio 1.04, 95% CI 0.91–1.20, P = 0.58). Stratification analyses showed that the effect of cocoa extract supplementation was not significantly modified by sex, race, BMI, smoking, physical activity, dietary quality, flavanol status at baseline, or randomized multivitamin assignment.

CONCLUSIONS

Middle-aged and older adults taking a cocoa extract supplement for a median of 3.5 years did not reduce their risk of incident T2D. Further studies of cocoa extract supplementation beginning earlier in adulthood and in populations with different background diets are warranted.

Usage of COX-1 and COX-2 Nanomedicines in Nanotechnology
Authors: Mitra Manu
Published: October 2023

Nanomedicine is the branch of medical applications in nanotechnology. Nanomedicine ranges from medical applications of nanomaterials, biological devices to nanoelectronic biosensors, molecular nanotechnology such as biological machines. It utilizes knowledge and tools of nanotechnology to prevention and treatment of disease. Nanomedicine involves use of nanoscale materials such as biocompatible nanoparticles for delivery, sensing or actuation in a living organism. COX inhibitors are a class of pharmaceutical compounds that selectively target and inhibit the activity of the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). These enzymes are key players in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are important mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever in the body. By modulating prostaglandin production, COX inhibitors have significant therapeutic implications in the management of various inflammatory conditions, pain relief, and fever reduction. COX-1 is constitutively expressed in many tissues and is involved in maintaining normal physiological functions, including the protection of the stomach lining and platelet aggregation. In contrast, COX-2 is induced at sites of inflammation and is primarily responsible for producing prostaglandins involved in the inflammatory response. The selective inhibition of COX-2 allows for targeted suppression of inflammation while preserving the beneficial functions of COX-1. Moreover, recent research has shed light on the complex interplay between COX-1 and COX-2 in health and disease. Emerging evidence suggests that the balance between COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition may have implications beyond pain and inflammation. Investigating the diverse roles of these enzymes in different tissues and pathologies may open up new avenues for drug development and personalized medicine. COX inhibitors represent an important therapeutic class with a profound impact on managing pain, inflammation, and related disorders. Understanding the differential regulation and functions of COX-1 and COX-2 is crucial for optimizing the clinical use of COX inhibitors and developing novel strategies for targeted and safer anti-inflammatory therapies.

Determination of Optimum Intra-Row Spacing for Maize Varieties (Zea mays L.) on its Yield and Yield Components in West Hararghe, Ethiopia
Authors: Dikr Wondimkun
Published: October 2023

The western part of the Ethiopia is generally well suited for the current maize varieties with the largest adoption, in particular to west hararghe. However, agronomic management practices such as appropriate plant spacing and use of improved varieties are quite important for enhancing maize production. Hence, a field experiment was not conducted before 2023 cropping season at Gumbi bordodde district western hararghe to determine the effects of intra -row spacing on yield and yield components of maize varieties. The experiment consisted of the factorial combinations of two maize varieties (“BH-546”,’’M-6’’ and “M-2”) and five intra-row spacing (20, 25, 30, 35 cm and 40cm) with a total of 15 treatments in RCBD with three replications. The results of the study had shown that there were highly significant differences due to the main effects of varieties on days to 50% tasseling, 50% silking, and 90% maturity. There was also highly significant difference due to the main effects of both variety and intra-row spacing on ear length and number of grains per row while, leaf area index was highly significant on the main effect of varieties and significant on main effect of intra-row spacing. Avery highly significant interaction effect of variety and intra-row spacing on above ground dry biomass yield and grain yield and highly significant in hundred grain weight. Generally, higher grain yield and above ground dry biomass were obtained from BH-546 at 25 cm (10325.47kg∙ha−1 and 34334.65kg∙ha−1) respectively. The highest grain yield (10325.47kg∙ha−1) was obtained at 25cm spacing in BH-546 while the lowest grain yield (3735.18 kgha−1) was obtained from 40cm spacing in 1. M2. The result of economic analysis showed that the maximum net benefit (ETB 278988.75 ha-1) was obtained at spacing of 25cm in BH-546. Therefore, based on economic analysis it can be conclude that optimum intra row spacing (25 cm) is promising for BH-546 maize variety production in main season of Gumbi bordodde district and similar agro ecologies. For better confirmation of the result, this one-year experiment needs to be repeated at multi-locations and in different seasons.

Patriarchy and Women's Struggle in Selected Boom and Post-Boom Novels
Authors: Pillado Kim A.
Published: October 2023

Women play vital roles and are essential in the progress of a nation, yet the fabrication of gender instituted by patriarchal-modeled societies trivializes, devoices, and devalues the female sex, placing them in domestic positions and subjecting them to violence. As literature becomes the mirror of women's struggle, it also exposes the threats and challenges of patriarchy on women to assert their voice and to be recognized as significant other and not the other. Employing feminism specifically Simone de Beauvoir's 'second sex' concepts, this paper explored and discussed the status of women against the depiction of patriarchy uncovering women denigration in the two boom novels, One Hundred Years of Solitude (2006) by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and  Recollections of Things to Come (1996) by Elena Garro, and elaborating women empowerment in the two post-boom novels, The House of the Spirits (1993) by Isabel Allende, and Like Water for Chocolate (1992) by Laura Esquivel. The women characters in the boom novels are stereotyped and placed as secondary characters, whereas those in the post-boom have successfully defined themselves and are empowered to reject the patriarchal portrayal of women. Despite the unrelenting debunking of patriarchy, the status of women characters is still inferior compared to their male counterparts. In turn, the four works convey similarities in depicting the era. These narratives have become platforms for women's rediscovery and avenues to re-evaluate the position and status of women; thus, re-securing their value as contributing voice and body in the society.

Authors: Sukma Annisa Indah , Asidiky Zakie , Agustian Agung Farid
Published: October 2023

This Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) research examined World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) posters campaigning for tiger protection, whose population has been fewer than 5000 in recent years. It uses a qualitative descriptive method with Kress and van Leeuwen's compositional meaning theory (2006) to explore how the composition of the posters delivered messages to readers. Besides, it also tried to reveal the ideologies depicted in those posters critically. The number of data analyzed was  6 (six) tiger posters taken from the adsoftheworld website (https://www.adsoftheworld.com) with the keywords 'tiger' and 'WWF.' As a result, the salient elements of the selected posters represented a critical state of the tiger population. They could also convey to readers that the extinction of tigers can be prevented with a wise life. In addition, both verbal and visual elements depicted several ideologies: (1) the tiger was seen as property, not as a living creature, (2) people could choose to fight for or destroy the tiger, (3) power hierarchy made people unable to act, and (4) the tigers are in endangered states. Hopefully, this research can be used as a theoretical reference for further research on environmental and animal issues in the multimodal field. Besides, visual communication practitioners can imitate or follow the analyzed posters in this research to make any content concerning any life issues by paying more attention to the salient elements in their posters.
Patriarchal Propaganda on Archipelagic Folklores
Authors: Sufa Amy Fayla
Published: October 2023

A folklore is a patriarchal propaganda, by carrying out stories that indoctrinate how mankind should behave, or how men and women have their role in society. This study aims to discover the patriarchal construct in archipelagic folklore and how archipelagic folklore gave rise to propaganda to the current patriarchal system. This study used a qualitative descriptive method using a mimetic and objective approach. The process of collecting data is through library study including sources taken from texts in the book "The Collection of Folklore in 33 Provinces” by the publisher Lingkar Media, and the animated video of The Archipelago Story on YouTube from the channel Gromore Studio. Furthermore, this study found there are 11 constructs of patriarchy contained in the archipelagic folklore in selected legends. As the result, the intention of patriarchal culture rooted in Indonesia and existing in the current times did not only came from one direction, but from several directions which then gave rise to a complex understanding. It is influenced by the culture of the colonial foreign countries and the fundamental beliefs of its society even before the colonialism era. The archipelagic folklore is one of a tool for spreading implicit messages that contain a deep meaning, patriarchalism.
