Interaktion und Innovation – Studie zur Übersetzung deutschsprachiger Literatur in der Zeitschrift
Ausländische Literatur und Kunst
(1978–2022)
Authors: She Lihui , Zhang Fan
Published: September 2024

Die Literaturzeitschrift Ausländische Literatur und Kunst erschien zum ersten Mal 1978 im Shanghai Translation Publishing House und gilt seitdem als eine anerkannte Fachzeitschrift für fremdsprachige Literatur in China. Bislang wurden in dieser Zeitschrift nahezu 500 Übersetzungen deutschsprachiger Literaturwerke veröffentlicht, wodurch der deutschsprachigen Literatur ein bedeutender Weg zu ihrer Verbreitung in China eröffnet wurde. Vor diesem Hintergrund befasst sich der vorliegende Beitrag mit der Übersetzung deutschsprachiger Literatur in der Zeitschrift Ausländische Literatur und Kunst (1978–2022). Anhand der quantitativen und periodischen Analysen wird die Auswirkung des soziokulturellen Kontexts auf die Übersetzungstätigkeit der deutschsprachigen Literatur zu verschiedenen Zeiten reflektiert, wobei die Besonderheiten der Übersetzungstätigkeit im Hinblick auf literarische Gattungen, Schriftsteller und Übersetzer im Fokus der Untersuchung stehen. Hierbei wird ersichtlich, dass sich die Übersetzung einerseits den gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Anforderungen unterwirft und andererseits eine wesentliche Rolle bei der literarischen Interaktion und Innovation spielt.
Variation, contact, and change in Boston Spanish: how social meaning shapes stylistic practice and bilingual optimization
Authors: Erker Daniel , Vidal-Covas Lee-Ann
Published: September 2024

This paper examines variation in six features of Spanish, testing the hypothesis that outcomes of language and dialect contact are shaped by the differing social meaning of linguistic variables. Two of the study’s variables are strongly associated with aspects of identity and style. Four others are poorer signals of social meaning, despite constituting sites of crosslinguistic and/or dialectal difference. In the speech of life-long residents of the contact setting (Boston, MA), the weak features have converged with English grammatical norms. In contrast, the strong features show persistence of dialectal and crosslinguistic differences, suggesting that socially weaker variables are more susceptible to reconfiguration by bilingual optimization strategies. The effect of contact on strong variables, by comparison, is to amplify their already powerful links to ideologies of personal and group style. While strong variables are not immune to contact-induced change, modification in their use is primarily social, rather than cognitive, in nature.
First things third? The extension of canonically third-person singular inflections to first-person singular subjects in adult heritage Spanish
Authors: Giancaspro David , Higdon Josh
Published: September 2024

Previous research has found that heritage speakers of Spanish sometimes extend canonically third-person singular (3PS) verbal morphology to first-person singular (1PS) subjects, a pattern that has been reported with both children and adults across a variety of different verbal paradigms (e.g., preterite). However, despite clear evidence of 3PS extensions in heritage Spanish, no previous research has systematically investigated the factors that shape this common, yet still poorly understood morphological tendency. To test whether heritage speakers’ likelihood of extending 3PS forms is shaped by paradigmatic frequency, the present study investigated adult heritage speakers’ production and comprehension of person agreement in the present perfect paradigm, which is relatively low frequency in Latin American/US varieties of Spanish, and the preterite paradigm, which is relatively much more frequent. 30 adult heritage speakers of Latin American/US Spanish completed two oral production tasks and one listening comprehension task, all of which targeted their knowledge of 1PS and 3PS morphology in both the present perfect and preterite paradigms. Results of the production experiments revealed that heritage speakers were far more likely to extend 3PS morphology to 1PS subjects in the present perfect paradigm than in the preterite paradigm, an asymmetry that we attribute to the lower relative frequency of present perfect verb forms. In the comprehension task, participants performed similarly by extending 1PS readings to canonically 3PS inflections more often in the present perfect than in the preterite. Together, these novel results indicate that heritage speakers are more likely to extend 3PS inflections in the paradigms that they use less, a finding with key implications for our understanding of how language experience shapes the variable morphological systems that heritage speakers develop.
Gender agreement among Russian learners of Spanish in an instructed versus naturalistic learning environment
Authors: Tararova Olga , Loyola Gabriela Martinez , Black Martha , Benjamin Nadav , Wang Qiyao
Published: September 2024

The present study examines Spanish gender agreement among beginner and non-beginner naturalistic and instructed native Russian learners of L3 Spanish. The project has two goals: first, to investigate whether the above groups differed in their target production and comprehension of gender agreement according to a series of morphological variables (gender class, type, and congruency) and secondly, to determine whether there was a relationship between accuracy and task completion times. A total of 49 native speakers of Russian learning Spanish as an L3, divided across two learner groups (24 instructed in Canada and 25 naturalistic in Mexico) and two proficiency levels (28 beginners and 21 non-beginners), along with a control group of 15 native Spanish speakers, completed several tasks. Results demonstrate that regardless of learning environment, native-like proficiency for gender agreement can be achieved at advanced levels. Differences were observed at the beginner level with the naturalistic group performing better with more difficult forms (e.g., feminine, non-canonical, and incongruent), indicating that at initial stages there is an advantage of naturalistic acquisition. Naturalistic learners had faster task completion times, though this did not correspond to higher accuracy levels. This study has important implications for the field of applied linguistics as it places importance on assessing gender acquisition across distinct learning environments.
Hommes et femmes inégaux devant l’entrepreneuriat : clivage de genre dans l’incubation de l’intention entrepreneuriale
Authors: Indjendje Ndala Pierre Daniel , Ndjambou Ruphin , Leubou Josette
Published: September 2024

Cet article tente de montrer que l’inégalité de genre existe dans la formation des personnes ayant une intention entrepreneuriale avant le passage vers l’entrepreneuriat. Nous faisons une enquête auprès de 229 étudiants et de 211 étudiantes de Licence 1, 2, 3 et de Master en gestion de grandes écoles au Gabon. Les données proviennent d’un questionnaire qui leur a été soumis. Nous adoptons une méthodologie quantitative avec une logique hypothético-déductive. Nous mobilisons une modélisation par équations structurelles multi-groupes de l’intention entrepreneuriale. Les résultats indiquent que les femmes présentent une intention entrepreneuriale supérieure à celle des hommes en amont du passage vers l’entrepreneuriat. Les prédispositions féminines dominent celles des hommes, notamment l’attitude, la détermination, les normes sociales perçues, l’exposition à l’entrepreneuriat/l’expérience entrepreneuriale et l’auto-efficacité perçue. Ces déterminants évoluent plus chez les femmes que chez les hommes, sauf les normes sociales perçues. Les déterminants déclencheurs de l’acte entrepreneurial dominent chez les femmes, sauf l’attitude et les normes sociales perçues, qui sont égales.
Orientation de rôles de genre et pérennité des entreprises du secteur informel : cas des microentreprises agroalimentaires au Mali
Authors: Sanogo Noufou , Sall Fatou Diop
Published: September 2024

Le secteur informel continue de représenter un poids considérable dans les économies africaines. Au Mali, ce secteur enregistre une forte présence de femmes, évoluant surtout dans le domaine agroalimentaire et à la tête de microentreprises. On remarque que, malgré les difficultés rencontrées, les entreprises informelles de très petite taille dirigées et détenues par les femmes continuent de se maintenir en activité, tout en contribuant à la création d’emplois et de richesses. Cette recherche exploratoire vise à comprendre les éléments déterminants du maintien en activité sur le long terme de cette catégorie d’entreprises. Pour ce faire, une analyse de cas multiples est menée. Les résultats permettent de mettre en évidence des facteurs de pérennité des microentreprises agroalimentaires dirigées et détenues par les femmes dans un contexte où l’environnement socioculturel impacte le fonctionnement de l’entreprise. Les rôles multiples des femmes maliennes et leur maîtrise des processus de transformation des aliments liée aux rôles spécifiques de « spécialiste de la cuisine » permettent à leurs entreprises de résister aux crises et de continuer à fonctionner dans la durée. Cette recherche contribue à la littérature en mettant en évidence l’effet des facteurs socioculturels liés à la nature biologique de la dirigeante sur la pérennité de l’entreprise de très petite taille.
Enjeux et facteurs de réussite d’un projet d’implantation d’un système d’information géographique dans une municipalité du Québec
Authors: Lemaire Evelyne , Pelletier Claudia
Published: September 2024

L’absence ou le manque d’expérience en monitorage des territoires au Québec, conjugué aux lacunes de l’utilisation toujours limitée des systèmes d’information géographique (SIGéo) en urbanisme, représente un défi, voire un risque pour les organisations municipales. Mobilisant les principes de la recherche-action et de la participation observante, le présent projet explore les moyens de favoriser une adoption et une implantation technologiques réussies en contexte municipal. Appuyée sur deux boucles itératives, la recherche dégage un processus de réalisation en six actions clés, qui se décline ensuite en recommandations pratiques. Sur le plan théorique, la recherche contribue à la description et à une compréhension accrue de la gestion du changement technologique dans les municipalités au Québec. Entre autres, elle souligne d’abord l’importance d’une planification claire lors de l’adoption de systèmes de surveillance territoriale, puis elle met en lumière un processus flexible et évolutif lors de leur implantation, qui se fonde notamment sur une communication efficace entre les acteurs.
Integrity management of e-commerce enterprises from the perspective of co-governance supervision
Authors: Chen Jinlong , Hu Jiayi
Published: September 2024

The integrity challenges facing e-commerce enterprises are increasingly provoking significant reactions from society. To analyze the dynamic evolution and influence factors of strategies made by the government, e-commerce enterprises, and consumers in different situations, the co-governance supervision of government-e-commerce enterprises-consumers was introduced in this study based on the theory of daily activities. A tripartite evolutionary game model comprising the government, e-commerce enterprises, and consumers was constructed using Matlab for analysis and verification. Results indicate that (1) e-commerce enterprises engage in dishonest practices mainly for additional gains. If the potential benefits obtained are outweighed by the costs of potential sanctions, compensation to consumers, and tarnished reputations under strict government supervision, then e-commerce enterprises are likely to adopt stable integrity management strategies. (2) enhancing government regulation effectiveness and encouraging consumer complaints can significantly reduce the probability of dishonest practices among e-commerce enterprises. (3) increasing government penalties for dishonest practices of e-commerce enterprises, improving government regulations, and engaging in consumers in co- governance by voicing complaints can effectively reduce their motivation for dishonest practices. The conclusions of this study not only enrich the research on integrity management of e-commerce enterprises from the perspective of co-governance supervision, but also provide guidance for curbing dishonest practices by e-commerce enterprises and protecting consumer right.

Dostoevsky as a Character Prototype in Nekrasov’s Unfinished Short Novel “On the Same Day at Eleven o’Clock in the Morning…”
Authors: Iudin Daniil
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the debatable issues in the study of the unfinished short novel by N. A. Nekrasov about F. M. Dostoevsky. Nekrasov played an important role in the evolution of Dostoevsky’s literary reputation. The novel “Poor Folk” became a sensation in 1845–1846, and its author was called a genius. In the mid-1850s Nekrasov undertook a revision of these events. The prototypes of his characters are real people. The short novel presents three characters: Mertsalov (Belinsky), Glazhievsky (Dostoevsky), Chudov (Nekrasov). Their images are distinctive and unambiguous. Mertsalov is contradictory: he greets the young writer with enthusiasm, but he is cruel and demanding of “literary sympathizers”, whom he perceives as servants. Only Chudov is revealed as a positive hero. He is not an intriguer, is honest and critical of all participants in this literary story, condemns intrigues and gossip. A character of this work, he is also the author’s alter ego. As a prototype, Dostoevsky is explored in Nekrasov’s text from three perspectives. Acting as a memoirist, Nekrasov presents Dostoevsky as a writer and as a historical figure. A documentary approach prevails in these episodes, the author uses the facts of the biography of the writer, who found himself at the epicenter of St. Petersburg literary life in the mid-1840s. As a critic, Nekrasov analyzes the creative experience of early Dostoevsky, recognizing Makar Devushkin and Golyadkin in the author. As a journalist and editor, Nekrasov presents Dostoevsky as a character of gossip, rumors, Belinsky’s satirical message to Dostoevsky, I. Panaev’s feuilletons. This is an exaggerated and caricature image of a young genius who is not ready for this role, who is insolvent as a person, and therefore ridiculed and rejected by Belinsky’s entourage. Nekrasov made the story of Glazhievskiy an instructive one. The author exposes his characters. There are contradictions within the characters, but no complexity. He is interested in the subject matter, but not in its participants. At first, Nekrasov was carried away by the topic, but later lost interest in it.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of the conducted research is to develop a mathematical model of the interaction of solar radiation and photoreceiving panels, as well as a mathematical apparatus for calculating the angle of the position of these panels to generate the maximum possible power of energy. These calculations should be used in the design of the system for controlling the position of the solar panel of the SPP. The considered problem is relevant for the field of renewable ener-gy - solar energy, as well as for the design and construction of "small", home alternative ener-gy photovoltaic systems. The task that was solved in this work is the determination of the most effective method of orientation of the solar battery and a proposal for its implementation. The developed device al-lows you to calculate solar insolation on any day of the year and day, in accordance with the geographical location of the SES, the height of the placement relative to sea level, and the to-pography of the area. The hardware-mathematical functionality used allows to optimally place the photoreceptors under the condition of sunlight in order to maintain the direct and most ef-fective angle of incidence of the sun's rays on their surface; as well as with scattered, diffuse or reflected lighting. To prevent damage to the device under adverse conditions, "alternate modes" of operation are provided.

The development and modeling procedure of a robotic cell that uses the electric arc surfacing technique to manufacture a technological drilling tool using WAAM ("Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing") additive manufacturing technology is shown. The goal of this endeavor is to draft suggestions and technical specifications for an actual WAAM robotic system. The writ-ers have focused their attention on two areas: 1) The kinematic scheme and tool movement tra-jectory of the welding robot are developed and modeled; 2) The MIG/MAG surfacing process in the drilling tool fabrication is mathematically modeled. The "FANUC RoboGuide" software program was used to develop the robotic site’s simulation model. Mathematical modeling of the surfacing process covers the development and research of a finite-element thermomechani-cal model of the layer-by-layer electric arc surfacing process in the implementation of the WAAM technology for the production of a drilling auger with a drilling diameter of 400 mm and a working length of 2 m. The obtained results of the work allowed us to reasonably pre-pare the technical requirements for the composition and nomenclature of the robotic section, as well as for MIG/MAG surfacing modes.
Decoding algorithms for quantum error correcting codes
Authors:   , de Mari i Olius Antonio
Published: September 2024

Quantum computers would prove a ground-breaking effect in several re- search fields to the advantage of our society due to their proved capacity for solving some problems deemed as too complex for classical comput- ers. Consequently, there is a generalized academic effort for constructing a quantum computer. Nonetheless, a real quantum computer does not suffice for implementing quantum algorithms reliably, it must be fault-tolerant. Quantum computers undergo noise due to a phenomenon generally named quantum decoherence, a fault-tolerant quantum computer has the capabil- ity to suppress the effects of decoherence to an extent. For that to happen, a quantum computer should consider quantum error correction, a process in which decoherence is studied and attempted to be corrected. Within the context of quantum error correction, the information from quantum proces- sors is to be stored in a larger, more redundant system named a quantum error correcting code. Afterwards, one can obtain a vector named syndrome which provides partial information on the effect decoherence has had on a code. The process of recovering the decoherence or error that the code has undergone is named decoding. This thesis studies decoders for quan- tum error correcting codes, their performance, complexity and adaption to different types of quantum decoherence.
Analysis of the diagnostic value of coagulation markers and coagulation function indices on the occurrence of DIC in sepsis and its prognosis
Authors: Fang Xiaowei , Fu Wei , Xu Luyang , Qiu Yichao
Published: September 2024

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that has the potential to multiple organ dysfunction and mortality. One of its frequent complications is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), characterized by hyperactive clotting mechanisms that cause widespread clot formation and tissue damage. This study aimed to investigate early diagnostic markers of sepsis-associated DIC by comparing inflammatory factor levels, 28-day survival rates, coagulation function, and markers between patients with sepsis (non-DIC group) and those with sepsis-induced DIC (DIC group). The study analyzed the diagnostic efficacy of coagulation function and markers in predicting the occurrence and prognosis of sepsis-associated DIC, presenting survival curves. Results indicated significantly increased levels of APTT, TAT, tPAIC, PIC, and sTM in the DIC group compared to the non-DIC group. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores on days 1, 3, and 7 were notably lower in the non-DIC group. Correlation analysis revealed positive associations between PT, APTT, TAT, tPAIC, PIC, sTM levels, and SOFA scores, as well as negative associations with Fib and SOFA scores. Survival curves showed substantially lower mortality rates in the non-DIC group, highlighting significant survival disparities between groups. Combining all four coagulation indicators (TAT+ tPAIC + PIC + sTM) showed promising diagnostic value in evaluating disease severity, early DIC diagnosis, and sepsis prognosis.
Rola Inicjatywy Pasa i Szlaku w równoważeniu stosunków handlowych między Polską a Chinami: analiza przepływów międzygałęziowych

Published: September 2024

Trade relations between Poland and China remain asymmetric. The introduction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its related formats was intended to balance trade relations between China and its trading partners. The study aims to track the value-added flows between Poland and China. Two research questions were posed: 1) whether Chinese initiatives aimed at balancing trade relations are reflected in more balanced flows of added value between Poland and China; 2) whether the role of Poland as a supplier of added value to China is growing as a result of the introduction of BRI and related initiatives. The study used Inter-Country Input-Output in input-output models. The findings show that Poland’s position in global production links with China has deteriorated in many industries and plays a minor role in the Chinese industry. On the other hand, BRI had a very limited impact on balancing the value-added flows between China and Poland only in a few industries.

This publication aims to present the most important problems that occurred in connection with the referendum, which, despite numerous voices of opposition, took place on October 15, 2023. It was also the day on which elections to the Sejm and Senate were to be held. Therefore, the authors decided not to refer to or comment on the extensive discussion of doctrinal issues related to the referendum, but to address only the practical dimension of the vote held in order to formulate de lege lata conclusions. The subject of the analysis was the issue of the validity and binding nature of the referendum, as well as the issue of the refusal of the voter to collect the referendum ballot in connection with the implementation of the principle of secrecy of the vote, which provokes many controversial assessments.

The analysis carried out in this way made it possible to identify the determinants of winning a mandate and possibly retaining it. Based on the research, it can be concluded that is the place on the electoral list that is important for first-time electoral success.
Głód jako narzędzie polityczne – potencjał wykorzystania przez władze reżimów totalitarnych
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Chustecki Jakub
Published: September 2024

The phenomenon of long-term malnutrition has very serious physiological and psycho-social effects. In addition to impairing the immune system and physically weakening the body, starvation causes aggression, apathy and alienation of individuals. Famine-affected communities are atomised and individuals functioning within them are incapable of building interpersonal relationships. Given the consequences that the phenomenon of hunger causes for individuals and communities, it can be a political tool used by the authorities of totalitarian regimes. The paper presents experiments showing the physiological and psycho-social consequences of hunger sickness and then juxtaposes their results with socio-anthropological concepts of totalitarianism. On the basis of the analysis conducted in the paper, it is shown that there is a significant correlation between the social consequences of hunger and the social character of totalitarianism. Drawing on these considerations, the paper identifies areas where hunger can be used as a political tool by the authorities of non-democratic states.

Data on time spent per chart and clicks per chart per office visit were gathered from the hospital's EHR system. The cohort also completed a survey regarding their self-perceived efficiency in the EHR and charting burden.  
Results. The procedure documentation tool was used for 68% (25/37) of eligible procedures at one-month post-implementation. There was no significant difference in minutes per chart between the group that used the tool and the group that did not, although the group using the tool had lower charting time (median difference [MD] = 5.517; 95% CI, -0.283 to 13.317; p = 0.066). A similar trend was seen with clicks per chart, with an MD of 4 (95% CI, -3 to 11; p = 0.25).  
Conclusions. While the difference was not significant, this study achieved its goal of quantifying the impact of a health information technology (HIT) project and indicates the need for further examination of how to quantify future projects. It lays the groundwork for future evaluation of similar tools and studies.

Статья посвящена ключевым вопросам квалификации субъекта, использующего цифровые технологии для целей возникновения, изменения или прекращения гражданских прав и обязанностей, в качестве слабой стороны таких отношений. Целью исследования является рассмотрение особенностей категории «слабая сторона гражданского правоотношения» и ее потенциальное правоприменительное значение в связи с происходящими в настоящее время процессами цифровизации общества. Для достижения этой цели автор в первой части работы рассматривает общие вопросы понимания слабой стороны в частном праве, во второй части — специфику защиты слабой стороны в цифровой среде. Далее в рамках исследования анализируются проблемы охраны интересов слабых субъектов в отдельных отношениях в цифровой среде (в сделках по поводу цифровых прав и иных цифровых активов, объектов интеллектуальной собственности, в корпоративных отношениях). Сделан вывод, что сущность и признаки слабой стороны должны определяться критериями, отличными от специфики статуса. Слабость субъекта складывается из трудности осуществления конкретного субъективного права или ряда субъективных прав в рамках определенного правоотношения. Основой гарантированности механизма охраны интересов слабой стороны в онлайн-пространстве должен стать критерий транспарентности, заключающийся в том, что порядок заключения и исполнения договоров, содержание публичных оферт, возможные механизмы расторжения и прекращения договорных отношений должны быть открыты и понятны. Кроме того, любой участник таких отношений должен иметь доступ к необходимой по договору информации. Cделан принципиальный вывод о назначении правил о договоре присоединения для целей охраны интересов слабой стороны: нормы ст. 428 Гражданского кодекса Российской Федерации формируют дефиницию и критерии слабой стороны. Помимо этого, в статье доказано, что технические средства, нейросети, инструменты LegalTech могут быть использованы в целях создания новых механизмов охраны законных интересов слабой стороны.

Ways to solve the problem of import substitution and transfer of software to an open-source database management system (DBMS) in state and municipal institutions are considered (in particular, migration from a foreign SQL Server DBMS to domestic DBMSs based on PostgreSQL, such as PostgreSQL and DBMS-KS). The results of a detailed study of the main stages of database migration are presented, and the advantages and disadvantages of various migration methods are identified. A review of software solutions that enable the transition from MS SQL to PostgreSQL was carried out, such us AWS Database Migration Service, Ispirer MnMTK, Spectral Core: SQLTran, ConvertDB: MS SQL to PostgreSQL Migration and Sync, EasyFrom: ESF Database Migration Toolkit including special attention paid to the Migration-KS software package. The migration process of a territorial unit, performed using the Migration-KS software solution is described. As a result, the migration of users of the Keysystems company (a territorial division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia) to the PostgreSQL DBMS was carried out through several stages, including the preparation of OS Linux, installation and configuration of Docker containers and the database migration itself using the Migration-KS software package. This made it possible to transfer users to the new DBMS without significant problems and with minimal system downtime. The results were successful: the client continues to use Keysystems products based on PostgreSQL.

Authors: Tuncer Erdem
Published: September 2024

Accurate prediction of preterm birth can significantly reduce birth complications for both mother and baby. This situation increases the need for an effective technique in early diagnosis. Therefore, machine learning methods and techniques used on Electrohysterogram (EHG) data are increasing day by day. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) approach on EHG data and to propose an algorithm for estimating preterm birth using single EHG signal. The data used in the study were taken from Physionet's Term-Preterm Electrohysterogram Database (TPEHGDB) and scored in one-minute windows. The feature matrix was obtained by calculating the sample entropy value from each of the discretized EHG modes obtained as a result of this method, which was used for the first time on EHG data, and the average energy value from the signal obtained by recombining the modes. The obtained features were applied to Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms to predict preterm birth. Among the classifier algorithms, the RF algorithm achieved the best result with a success rate of 98,20%.
