Published: May 2023

Translation has now become subject matter since its role as cross-culture and cross-language mediator. This research, then, aims to unfold the translation strategy and ideology reflected in literary work. The data source are the American short story “The Lottery“ written by Shirley Jackson and its Indonesian version “Undian“ translated by Harum L Wibowo. This research employ qualitative approach and descriptive method. Both of the strategy of literary translation theory by Kazakova (2015) and translation ideology theory by Venutti (1994) are used to answer the question of the research. This research found that translator used all four strategies of literary translation proposed by Kazakova; helper strategy (35,57%), observer strategy (26,17%), enlightener strategy (20,13%), and adherent strategy strategy (18,12%). It also found that the strategy used by translator alternately applied both foreignization and domestication ideology on his translation process. Thus, while preserving the foreign culture and language, the translator also adapt ST/SL into TT/TL in his translation process to make it fluent to the target reader.
A Study on the False Facts(虛實) of Modern Chinese Adverbs: Focusing on degree adverb ‘很’, ‘極’ which acting as a complement
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, . .
Published: May 2023

In modern Chinese, adverbs are not easy to grasp because there are many types of adverbs and the meanings and uses of each word are different. In addition, the problem of adverb False Facts(虛實) is still an unresolved issue. Therefore, in this paper, the meaning and usage of degree adverb ‘很’, ‘極’ were examined based on diachronic consideration and syntactic position. ‘很’ and ‘極’ are placed in front of the predicate in a sentence and play the role of adverbs, or they are positioned after the predicate and act of complements. Adverbs, as adverbial words in sentences, mainly acting the role of 'modification'. This is to decorate another word with a practical meaning, not a syntactic function. Also, the complement is a sentence component that supplements the meaning of the predicate. Supplementation is possible only when the word itself has a practical meaning. Therefore, '很' and '極' still have practical meanings. In addition, adverbs can be used consecutively, and some adverbs directly modify nouns, quantifiers, and temporal adverbs. There are also adverbs that can be used alone in context or conversation. However, according to the above, it cannot be denied that adverbs have practical meanings, so it is difficult to assert that they are parts of speech that are completely vain and only serve a grammatical function. Therefore, in this paper, adverbs are judged as substantial words(實詞).

Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the students' motivation for learning Korean as a Foreign language. Based on Gardner and Lambert's theory of integrative motivation and instrumental motivation, this study conducted a survey of 64 students who were taking 「Basic Korean」 GE class at Taiwan Shih Chien University Kaohsiung Campus. As a result of the survey, the respondents' learning motivation was closely related to Hallyu media contents, that is, most of students' interest in Korean pop culture and efforts to enjoy it motivated them to learn Korean and start learning Korean. And the integrated learning motivation showed significant differences in gender and learning experience, and the instrumental motivation showed a significant difference in learning experience, but the grade did not have a statistically significant impact on the two motivations. Although the learning motivation according to the department to which it belongs showed a significant difference, the post-hoc test was not conducted because it was a verification value excluding three departments with a frequency of 1 in the ANOVA test for equal variance.

Published: May 2023

Along with the development of smartphones, Augmented Reality technology has begun to be used as a medium of interaction, although it has not been properly implemented and applied as a supporting medium. The use of still image objects in textbooks can make students tend to be more passive and less interactive because media images are unable to provide a reciprocal response. In science subjects, there is solar system material regarding planet recognition. Props are needed as learning media because the object of observation from the planet is too large. Several props are used as imitations of the planets, such as the use of drawing paper, audio, and video. The purpose of this research is to make a breakthrough in the use of Augmented Reality technology to support media for understanding planet recognition material by creating digital teaching aids that can be installed on smartphone devices. The MDLC method is an alternative method for developing multimedia applications that are easy to understand. The results of the test show that the application can function as expected, where each planetary marker that has been made can be recognized properly according to the intended planetary object.

Downlink Transmission in FBMC-based Massive MIMO with Co-located and Distributed Antennas
Authors: Hosseiny Hamed , Farhang Arman , Farhang-Boroujeny Behrouz
Published: May 2023

In this paper, a practical precoding method for the downlink of filter bank multicarrier-based (FBMC-based) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is developed. The proposed method includes a two-stage precoder consisting of a fractionally spaced prefilter (FSP) per subcarrier for flattening/equalizing the channel across the subcarrier band, followed by a conventional precoder whose goal is to concentrate the signals of different users at their spatial locations. This way, each user receives only the intended information. We take note of the fact that channel reciprocity may not hold perfectly in practical scenarios due to the mismatch of radio chains in uplink and downlink. Additionally, channel state information (CSI) at the base station may not be perfectly known. These can lead to detrimental effects on the downlink precoder performance. We theoretically analyze the performance of the proposed precoder in the presence of imperfect CSI and channel reciprocity calibration errors. This leads to an effective method for compensating for these effects. Our study includes both cases of co-located (i.e., cell-based) and cell-free massive MIMO. Finally, we numerically evaluate the performance of the proposed precoder. Our results show that the proposed precoder leads to an excellent performance when benchmarked against orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).
Multifunctional Dual-Band Energy Selective Surface Based on Two-Layer Diode-Loaded FSS
Authors: Zhong Shuomin , Chen Mingke , Xu Gaoming , Chen Yi
Published: May 2023

This article presents a multifunctional dual-band energy selective surface (ESS) based on a two-layer resonant circuit model with high-power microwave (HPM) protection ability for two bands. An equivalent circuit model (ECM) engineering multiple stopbands and passbands with combinations of parallel and serial resonators is proposed for dual-band design. By loading diodes in the resonator accordingly, the operating band can be switched from low insertion loss (IL) state to high shielding effectiveness (SE) state power-dependently. Additionally, the independence of two bands is greatly improved by utilizing two separate layers to mount the diodes, attributing to the enhanced difference of induced voltage between diodes in different layers resulting from shielding effect of top layer. Various functions in two-frequency co-incidence scenarios are analyzed, demonstrating the advantage of independent modulation. Based on the ECM, a two-layer ESS is designed. Two wide bands with IL<1dB under low-power incidence and SE>20dB under HPM are achieved, due to second-order resonance produced by double-layer configuration.  The multiple nonlinear functions of the design are verified by field-circuit co-simulations. Several prototypes are measured, exhibiting 0.6&25.2 dB and 0.7&27.3 dB of IL&SE at two central operating frequencies for low-power and high-power incidences, respectively, with good agreement with the simulations. 
A Novel ECG QRS Complex Detection Algorithm Based on Dynamic Bayesian Network
Authors: Li Qince , Liu Yang , Zhao Na , Yuan Yongfeng , He Runnan
Published: May 2023

Accurate detection of the QRS complex is crucial for interpreting electrocardiogram (ECG) signals as it serves as a critical reference point for locating the heartbeat. However, current QRS complex detection methods for ECG signals collected by wearable ECG devices are still inadequate due to complex noise interference. In this study, we propose a novel QRS complex detection method based on dynamic Bayesian network (DBN), which integrates the probability distribution of RR intervals reflecting the time interval variation between adjacent beats. Unlike previous detection methods that solely focus on ECG waveforms, this study explicitly integrates both the information of ECG waveform and heart rhythm into a unified probability model to detect QRS complex positions, significantly improving the algorithm's robustness to noise. Additionally, the proposed method uses an unsupervised parameter optimization approach based on expectation maximization (EM) to adapt to individual differences of patients. Furthermore, several simplification strategies are introduced to improve the reasoning efficiency, and an online detection mode is designed for the real-time applications. The detection outcomes demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art QRS detection methods, including deep learning (DL) methods, on datasets with strong noise interference. In conclusion, based on DBN, the proposed QRS detection algorithm demonstrates outstanding accuracy, noise robustness, generalization ability, real-time capability, and strong scalability, indicating its potential application in wearable ECG devices.
Transmission of useful knowledge in texts written by craftsmen. Two case studies from the Holy Roman Empire
Authors: Bruch Julia
Published: May 2023

In medieval and early modern crafts, useful knowledge was taught in the workshops. There, innovation took place. Craftsmen exchanged knowledge on journeys or through voluntary and forced migration. This system of knowledge transfer does not need writing, although craftsmen used writing both in the workshop and in the administration of the guilds and the towns. However, transmission of knowledge remained oral. This contrasts with countless craftsmen's manuscripts that conveyed technical knowledge about crafts in text and images. This essay argues that these manuals were equally crucial for the transmission of useful knowledge between master craftsmen as well as the sale of products to clients. A book on plate harnesses and one on bell and gun casting are introduced as examples.
«Li vostri che tenghono li libri non sanno tenere tanti chonnti». Useful knowledge and accounting as seen through the accountant’s lenses and the logic of capitalism
Authors: Lang Heinrich
Published: May 2023

Knowledge of accounting before the evolution of academic economic knowledge was practical knowledge. In the context of the studies about the development of accounting techniques, the debates leave out the bookkeeper. The hypothesis here is that, due to the diversification of investments on the behalf of the personal properties in late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, an expert accountant appeared as bookkeeper of the personal account books at the merchant bankers’ households. In Florence, future merchants were trained in elementary schools and later on in classes the masters of abacus. In their exercise books, the masters of abacus published, we find a lot of algebraic problems which are illustrated by accounting operations. However, at least in Florence manuals on accounting did not exist. So, the young merchant bankers and bookkeepers learned by doing. A case study about an accountant, Matteo Brandolini, who was the bookkeeper of the papal banker’s son Alamanno Salviati, shall exemplify this tendency. When the patricians and merchant bankers invested more extensively in secondary markets, they were in the need of highly qualified staff.
Transferring useful knowledge. Quality mechanisms in European apprenticeship
Authors: Prak Maarten , Wallis Patrick
Published: May 2023

Human capital is central to current debates about the sources of growth and divergence in the premodern economy. Apprenticeship, the key formal arrangement by which occupational skills were transferred in this period, has in the past often been associated with guild monopolies and exclusion, implying a drag on the accumulation of human capital. Several stimulating recent contributions have pointed to apprenticeship as a potentially important explanation for English or European advances in manufacturing and technology in the run up to industrialisation. In this paper, we explore mechanisms that helped improve quality among artisans. We focus on one in particular: the selection of training masters by apprentices.
The origins of the putting-out or domestic system of industrial production in England
Authors: Amor Nicholas R.
Published: May 2023

The putting-out system of production was a key feature of England’s woollen cloth industry and is regarded by many historians as a step along the road to capitalism. This paper considers the evolution of the industry in the late Middle Ages, the emergence of clothiers and their dependent out-workers and the nature of the relationship between the two groups. A detailed analysis follows of the growth, between 1475 and 1510, in the value of textile related debt litigation in the Court of Common Pleas, and revised estimates are given for the scale of the industry and the size of the workforce in the early-sixteenth century. Thus an assessment can be made of the importance of the putting-out system and its contribution to the success of the textile industry at that time.
Ships, shipping, technological change and global economic growth, 1400-1800
Authors: Unger Richard W.
Published: May 2023

The major breakthrough in ship design around 1400 creating the full-rigged ship constituted a general purpose technology. It had far-reaching effects on shipping, trade volume, orientation of trade routes, location of production, settlement patterns and many other aspects of life throughout the globe from 1400 to1800. The greater efficiency of the type in a number of uses led to its dissemination, to a limited degree, throughout the world. Spillovers from the success of the design were extensive and included for example a literature on designing and building ships, improvements in navigation and in government practices. Advances in shipbuilding were one of the very few technologies in the period that qualified as a technological advance with massive consequences.
Useful knowledge, technological innovation and economic development in the European ceramic industries, 14th-18th centuries
Authors: Laliena Corbera Carlos
Published: May 2023

Ceramics have been essential in the domestic sphere and their production has undergone in the preindustrial era technological and cultural changes whose importance is obvious. This paper is to show in a very concise way how the production of European glazed ceramics underwent three phases of intense transformation of useful knowledge related to its production, with a successive accumulation leading to increasingly efficient results and a higher level of productivity. Moreover, it can be safely stated that, without this accumulation, the great progress of the 19th century in this area would have been impossible.

اتجاهات الكتابة التأريخية لثورة الإمام الحسين "ع" عند المؤرخ والأديب والعالم
Authors: الصراف فاطمة
Published: May 2023

1- نتيجة لتطور الكتابة التأريخية في القرن الرابع الهجري من حيث الأسلوب والمحتوى ونتيجة لوجود المادة الخصبة أصبح التأريخ وكتابته الشغل الشاعل والنشاط الثقافي الأساسي لبعض العلماء دون غيره من العلوم.

2- اعتبرت مصادر القرن الرابع الهجري مراجع لمعظم العلماء والمؤرخين الذين ساعدتهم هذه المصادر على ملء فراغات وفجوات الأحداث التأريخية لمؤرخي القرون الثلاثة الأولى، لذلك نرى أن مؤلفات القرن التي تلت الرابع حتى مطلع القرن السابع الهجري هي مؤلفات امتازت بالتقليد لا تجديد فيها.

3- لم يكن القرن الرابع الهجري مختلفاً عن القرون السابقة من حيث التأثير على المؤرخ، إلاّ أن ما اختلف فيه هو أن الاضطهاد المذهبي والاقصاء ضد الشيعة قد خف حتى تنفس علمائهم الصعداء فكثرت المؤلفات وعرض ما كان مخفياً بسبب السلطة.

4- لعب الجانب الاقتصادي دوراً مميزاً في إثراء الكتابة التأريخية والفقهية للشيعة في القرن الرابع الهجري بسبب تكدس الأموال لدى بعض رجال هذه الطائفة إذ اضطرت السلطة إلى استقطابهم وجعل منهم وزراء، وقد أدى ذلك إلى انعاش الكتابة ذات الميول العلوية من كلا الطرفين فالشيعي هو تواق في إيجاد مثل هذه الفرصة، أما غيره فإنه وجد ضالته في الكتابة بما يلائم ميول الشيعة ومن بينهم ممن هو في السلطة في قبال الحصول على المال والجاه ولعل خير دليل على ذلك الأصفهاني والتنوخي.

5- أثر الجانب السياسي في مركز الخلافة أثراً إيجابياً فنشأت مدارس سيما للشيعة في قم وبغداد وظهرت ملامح التنافس بين هاتين المدرستين، مدرسة قم الإخبارية والمدرسة الأصولية في بغداد وقد أدى هذا إلى وفرة النشاط العلمي بشكل ملحوظ.

6- جاءت اتجاهات بعض الفقهاء كردة فعل لما قام به بعض الخلفاء العباسيين في التعامل مع زيارة قبر الإمام الحسين (عليه السلام) من خلال اعتمادهم على بعض الروايات التي عمقت الجانب العقائدي للإمامية على الرغم من صعوبة الموقف الطائفي.

7- إن من بين أهم مميزات هذا القرن أن المؤرخ أو الفقيه قد أجيز له برواية الحديث والحصول على الإجازة من غير لقاء العالم وحتى دون كتابة إجازة له، فلا غريب أن رأينا مؤرخي القرن الرابع الهجري ينقل الحديث وكأنه قد تحدث مع راويه فمثلاً المسعودي يقول حدثنا الإمام جعفر الصادق (ت148هـ) وهو لم يره ولم يسمع منه مباشرة.

8- تحتل البيئة الركيزة الأولى والمؤثر الأول الذي يتأثر به المؤرخ بشكل خاص والأديب بشكل عام، لذلك تكون خطورة هذا التأثير على الكتابة التأريخية أكثر بكثير من غيره فضلاً عن تأثير الزمن وأقصد به الأطوار التأريخية التي تتعاصر وتتعاقب مكونة الأحداث العامة للتأريخ لذا نجدان كل من المؤرخ والأديب والعالم قد خضع لتلك المؤثرات وبدرجات متفاوتة.

Published: May 2023

Background/Objectives: This research aims to identify any relationships between body dissatisfaction and body size among males in their twenties.
Methods: Participants were recruited for a year from August 2015 to July 2016. Participants were 100 males, of which 50 were white American males and 50 were Korean males in North Carolina, United States of America, who are aged between 20 and 29 years old. TC2-19 3D body scanner was used to measure the participant’s body size. A descriptive analysis of data for demographics and body satisfaction was conducted. The data were analyzed by correlation techniques and regression analyses with SPSS 24 for Windows.
Results: The results of this research indicate that the participants who have lower BMI, WHR, WCR, or WSR tend to perceive higher evaluations of their appearance, pay more attention to their appearance and are more satisfied with their body areas. Participants who have higher BMI or WHR tend to be more anxious about being overweight. Participants who have lower weight, lower shoulder-to-shoulder and lower girth values tend to show higher AE, AO, and BAS. Participants who have a higher shoulder-to-shoulder, higher upper arm girth, higher chest girth and higher waist tend to have more preoccupation about being overweight.
Conclusion/Implications: The results of this research can help fashion businesses consider targeting males’ body dissatisfaction in the design of their products by understanding the relationship between body dissatisfaction and body size of targeting males.

Ensuring the economic security of the state is carried out in the form of economic patronage from the government and the central bank, economic cooperation and economic confrontation with other countries of the world. The prospects for changing the level of economic security of the states of the Asia-Pacific region – participants in the Indo-Pacific Partnership (IPP) are considered. The paper considers the indicators of economic security of the states – participants of the Indo-Pacific Partnership. With the help of statistical and econometric methods, the prospects for changes in the level of economic security of the United States, Japan, India and Australia in the implementation of the Indo-Pacific Partnership are assessed. An approach to the comparative assessment of changes in the level of economic security of the ITP member states is proposed. The importance of economic cooperation and economic confrontation in the context of globalization for ensuring the economic security of the countries of East Asia is analyzed. The proposed approach to a comparative assessment of changes in the level of economic security of the ITP member states makes it possible to identify the priorities of economic cooperation and economic confrontation in modern conditions. It is concluded that the agreements within the framework of the Indo-Pacific Partnership should establish new regulations and standards for world trade, thereby giving an increase in the level of protection of the national economies of ITP participants.

The article monitors the main preferential positions of the use of targeted advertising, which are indicated in scientific articles of well-known scientists and systematized. Marketing communications in the period of structural transformations are constantly updated and modernized and acquire an innovative style of the latest developments and promotion channels. Communications in the marketing activities of enterprises and organizations conduct a chain of relationships between the company and the consumer, by informing consumers about available products, goods and services, form mutually beneficial relationships and are aimed at meeting the needs of customers and getting the maximum effect from interaction. The principle of hitting the target using targeted advertising changes in the trajectory of bringing information to the consciousness of the consumer and potential client in the form of an advertising video. Such processes are described by the Poisson distribution, and the probability of a reaction is determined by the formulas presented in the article. The relationship between the number of affected targets and the dose of advertising when using targeted advertising based on the target principle has been studied. It was determined that even with a very large number of “shots”, a certain number of objects were not affected, i.e. an increase in the impressions of commercials practically does not lead to a consumer response and it is desirable to stop this advertising campaign due to reaching the limits of its effectiveness.

Cardiac catheterization is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired cardiac diseases. However, it is rarely done in Nigeria because of the limited cardiac catheterization laboratories in the country. Transforming the existing operating theaters to modified catheterization laboratories may bridge the gap of limited cardiac catheterization. This study reviewed the procedures, outcomes, and challenges of a modified catheterization laboratory in Nigeria. A retrospective review of all diagnostic cardiac catheterizations at the modified catheterization laboratory of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) between January and May 2022 was performed. A total of 8 adult and 4 pediatric patients had cardiac catheterization, and the mean age was 23.7 ± 16.9 (range: 2 – 52) years. The most common lesion was the ventricular septal defect. Complex congenital heart disease was seen in 16% of subjects, whereas pulmonary hypertension was found in 83% (10). The most common complication was transient bradycardia. Good surgical outcome was recorded in the patients who subsequently had corrective surgeries. A modified catheterization laboratory may be a suitable alternative to the standard catheterization laboratory in low-resourced countries.

Amarogentin, a secoiridoid glycoside isolated from the Indian medicinal plant Swertia chirata, is widely known for its antileishmanial, antioxidative, hypoglycemic, antihepatotoxic, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. It has been evaluated for its possible anticancerous role in lung cancer using A549 and H1299 cells as models. The results of these studies show a dose-dependent decrease in cell proliferation, cell migration, and invasion by amarogentin. Furthermore, amarogentin repressed stemness in lung cancer, as shown by a diminution in the expression of DLL4, NICD, and Hes1 proteins. In conclusion, we report for the first time the potential regulatory impact of amarogentin on lung cancer. These findings reveal that amarogentin treatment inhibits tumor stem cell-like features in lung cancer by regulating Notch signaling. Therefore, amarogentin may be deemed as a useful therapeutic drug for lung cancer.

We aimed to explore the effect of an intravenous infusion of lidocaine combined with ulinastatin on perioperative analgesia and recovery for pancreatic cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Postoperative extubation time, time of stay in the recovery room after anesthesia, gastrointestinal function recovery time, and hospital stay in the observation group were all lower in the group receiving ulinastatin. Also, there was a decrease in the Visual Analogue Scale scores for pain at rest and cough in the group receiving ulinastatin. The serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α were lower in the group receiving ulinastatin. In summary, ulinastatin improves the effect of lidocaine on perioperative analgesia and postoperative recovery of pancreatic cancer without additional side effects during laparoscopic-assisted surgery.
