Histoire du Creux de Soucy (1575-2007) / History of Creux de Soucy (1575-2007)
Authors: Meybeck Michel , André Marie-Françoise
Published: January 2025

Décrit comme élément remarquable de l’Auvergne dans une Cosmographie universelle dès 1575 avec le lac Pavin, tout proche, le Creux de Soucy, près de Besse, est l’objet de fascination de la part des habitants. Il est une des très rares cavités, en Europe continentale, située en milieu volcanique. Sa profondeur est mesurée pour la première fois en 1770 par Chevalier, un ingénieur du roi. L’exploration complète du gouffre est réalisée en 1892, grâce à la ténacité d’Amédée Berthoule, qui sera maire de Besse et l’expérience d’Edouard-Alfred Martel, gagnée sur les Causses. Mais le célèbre spéléologue devra renoncer à 4m du fond en raison d’une nappe de CO2, comme en 1860 pour Berthoule père. Berthoule fils sera ainsi le premier homme à toucher le fond. Depuis lors, les scientifiques se succèdent pour comprendre les nombreux mystères du Soucy : la formation géologique de la cavité ainsi que l’hydrologie du très petit lac souterrain, sa morphologie unique en Europe (avec 50 m de profondeur il est plus profond que large…) et son régime thermique de lac «polaire » toujours à 2°C, unique en Europe. Cet article reprend les différents écrits sur le Soucy depuis 1575 jusque la campagne d’exploration actuelle, redonnant vie et sens à l’épopée du Creux de Soucy.

La cavité du Creux de Soucy, ouverte dans la coulée de lave du Montchal, au sud du lac Pavin, a fait l’objet d’un levé laser 3D très détaillé, qui nous a permis d’en déterminer les dimensions, le volume et l’architecture. Ces mesures ont également servi pour évaluer sa stabilité qui semble pérenne dans les conditions actuelles, sauf pour la chute de blocs qui n’a pas été modélisée mais dont l’aléa ne saurait être négligé. Le fond du gouffre nous offre une remarquable coupe stratigraphique permettant de retracer des événements géomorphologiques et volcaniques ayant affecté la zone depuis la dernière glaciation jusqu’à nos jours. Des écoulements hyperconcentrés, dont l’origine reste à déterminer, n’avaient encore jamais été identifiés dans la région à la période considérée. La formation de la cavité est due à la progression d’un fontis initié par un vide de grande taille situé plus en profondeur. L’origine de ce vide n’est pas encore élucidée, les explications envisagées (volcanisme, dépôts sédimentaires solubles, tectonique) ayant été écartées faute de preuve.
Face au réchauffement climatique, quel avenir pour le sapin pectiné (Abies alba Mill.) dans le Massif central ? / Which is the future of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) facing climate warming in central France?
Authors: Legrand Philippe
Published: January 2025

Cette synthèse résume les connaissances (répartition et écologie) sur le sapin pectiné (Abies alba

Mill.) dans les forêts du Massif central, et les travaux menés en France sur cette essence dans le cadre du réchauffement climatique en cours. Celui-ci provoquera probablement une augmentation des dépérissements forestiers complexes, comme cela a été observé ces dernières années lors de sécheresses importantes, et aboutira à une sévère réduction de l’aire de répartition du sapin dans les montagnes de faible altitude du Massif central, comme le laissent supposer différentes modélisations.

Materiais álcali-ativados e geopoliméricos: análise bibliométrica das produções stricto sensu na região sudeste do Brasil
Authors: Borges Raíza de Oliveira Machado , Dias Dylmar Penteado
Published: January 2025

Esta pesquisa analisou a produção acadêmica sobre materiais álcali-ativados e geopoliméricos em cursos de mestrado e doutorado de instituições de ensino superior (IES) públicas e algumas particulares da Região Sudeste do Brasil, por meio de um estudo bibliométrico. O levantamento incluiu consultas à Plataforma Sucupira, sites institucionais e outras fontes para identificar dissertações e teses relacionadas ao tema. Os resultados indicaram que pastas foram os materiais mais estudados nas pesquisas (44,6%). Em Minas Gerais e São Paulo o precursor mais empregado nas pesquisas foi o metacaulim, e o ativador hidróxido de sódio com silicato de sódio em Minas e hidróxido de sódio em São Paulo. No Rio de Janeiro o metacaulim foi o precursor mais utilizado, e o ativador a composição de hidróxido de potássio com silicato de sódio. Foi identificada uma tendência na distribuição das resistências à compressão aos 28 dias alcançadas nas pesquisas, sendo 99,4MPa a maior resistência à compressão alcançada. A falta de padronização nas dosagens e a elevada opção de matérias-primas dificultou a comparação dos resultados encontrados. Em relação aos artigos, concluiu-se que as teses e dissertações têm possibilitado publicações em revistas nacionais e internacionais. Constatou-se, ainda, que o cenário das colaborações entre autores desses artigos encontra-se disperso, com quatro grupos maiores de pesquisadores que são coautores nos mesmos documentos. Por fim, concluiu-se que a bibliometria é eficiente para elaborar o estado da arte e promover a difusão do conhecimento.

Published: January 2025

O câncer infantil é considerado a primeira causa de morte por doenças em crianças de 1 a 19 anos, segundo o do INCA – Instituto Nacional do Câncer estima-se que entre 2023 e 2025 teremos no Brasil 7.930 novos casos de câncer infanto juvenil. Os principais tipos de câncer que afetam essa população são a leucemia, os tumores do sistema nervoso central e os linfomas. Receber o diagnóstico de uma doença como o câncer provoca transformações importantes na vida das famílias, com implicações sociais, emocionais e físicas além de agravar dificuldades referentes à falta de recursos econômicos, insegurança alimentar e fragilização dos vínculos familiares, questões que podem contribuir para situações de risco, desproteção social ou situações de vulnerabilidade social. Nesse contexto através do atendimento domiciliar foi possível conhecer a realidade das famílias atendidas pelo GACC de Ribeirão Preto, as especificidades das condições de moradia se oferecem risco ou precariedade que possa prejudicar o tratamento oncológico, bem como atuar e realizar intervenções utilizando recursos do próprio território. Realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa através da metodologia sistêmica com atendimento multiprofissional para conhecermos a realidade no cotidiano das famílias bem como possibilitar a realização de intervenções, encaminhamentos, atendimentos psicossociais visando o apoio integral a criança e adolescente com câncer. Através deste serviço foi possível verificarmos um aumento na adesão ao tratamento oncológico bem como um aumento na autoestima dos usuários atendidos.

Notalgia Parestésica como condição neurocutânea sensitiva crônica: uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Caetano Maria Beatriz Loureiro , Lins Isabelly Maria Vasconcelos , Rolim Mariane Viegas Moura Rezende
Published: January 2025

A Notalgia Parestésica (NP) é uma síndrome neurocutânea sensitiva crônica, que, apesar de comum, é subdiagnosticada ou negligenciada na prática clínica de rotina. Acredita-se que tal neuropatia é causada por danos aos ramos dorsais dos nervos espinhais torácicos, predominantemente de T2 a T6. O distúrbio caracteriza-se por prurido crônico associado à sensação de queimação, parestesia e/ou hiperestesia, apresentando desde lesões cutâneas invisíveis até máculas. Diante do exposto,  objetiva-se descrever a NP como uma síndrome neurocutânea sensitiva crônica, avaliando etiologia, quadro clínico, diagnóstico e tratamento. Para tanto, procede-se à revisão integrativa, a qual foi conduzida nas bases de dados PubMed e SciELO, utilizando o descritor “Notalgia Parestésica”. Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, em quaisquer idiomas.  A questão norteadora adotada para este estudo foi: Quais são as características clínicas, mecanismos patofisiológicos e opções terapêuticas disponíveis para o tratamento da notalgia parestésica (NP). Desse modo, observa-se que a literatura científica frequentemente descreve achados radiográficos, destacando a polirradiculopatia torácica posterior entre T2 e T6 como a principal etiologia em determinados casos. Suas complicações estão associadas à coceira crônica, que leva a lesões cutâneas, aumentando o risco de infecções. Até o momento, não há uma terapia curativa, e os tratamentos disponíveis apresentam eficácia variável, o que permite concluir que a NP é uma condição rara e os estudos sobre etiologia e tratamento são em sua maioria limitados. Por isso, são necessários ensaios clínicos mais amplos e com acompanhamento prolongado.

Published: January 2025

A poliomielite, uma doença infectocontagiosa com alta morbimortalidade entre crianças, apresenta um desafio crescente devido ao declínio nas taxas de vacinação, exacerbado pela disseminação de desinformação promovida por movimentos antivacina. Objetiva-se, neste estudo, elucidar o impacto da informação sobre a vacinação contra a poliomielite nas redes sociais e sua influência nas taxas de imunização. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo observacional, coletando dados de 100 vídeos nas plataformas YouTube e TikTok, analisando visualizações, likes e interações. Os resultados indicam que, embora a maioria dos profissionais de saúde apoie a imunização, conteúdos contrários à vacinação geram maior engajamento, refletindo a prevalência de informações errôneas. Essa situação ressalta a urgência de políticas públicas para combater a desinformação e promover campanhas de conscientização. Conclui-se que a implementação de estratégias eficazes de comunicação nas redes sociais é crucial para restaurar a confiança nas vacinas e aumentar as taxas de cobertura vacinal, visando a erradicação da poliomielite.

Authors: Silva Alice de Oliveira , Siqueira Mateus Silva , Vieira Luciana Marques
Published: January 2025

A constipação intestinal (CI) é mais comum em mulheres, e pode estar ligada a fatores causais complexos, tais como hábitos alimentares inadequadas, sedentarismo, estresse emocional e outros. Com isso, esse estudo objetiva relacionar a CI com estado nutricional, hábitos alimentares e de vida em mulheres adultas. Para tanto, foi conduzido um estudo transversal descritivo, realizado em julho de 2024, com a participação de 97 mulheres. Foi investigado, através de um questionário online, a presença de sintomas da CI, frequência de evacuação, hábitos alimentares, ingestão de água, prática de exercícios físicos e o estado nutricional. Desse modo, observa-se que 57,7% das mulheres evacuam todos os dias, enquanto 25,8% evacuam menos de três vezes por semana, sugerindo a CI em muitos casos. Dentre os sintomas foram relatados, principalmente, a sensação de evacuação incompleta, excesso de flatulência e esforço para evacuar. Ademais, foi notada uma ingestão insuficiente de água e a ausência da pratica de exercícios físicos na maior parte da amostra, elementos que contribuem para o agravamento da CI. Observou-se também uma alta prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade, que podem estar associados ao agravamento dos sintomas intestinais, o que permite concluir que uma alimentação rica em fibras, hidratação adequada e a realização regular de atividades físicas são fundamentais como estratégias preventivas e terapêuticas para a CI, além de sugerir que intervenções nutricionais e alterações no estilo de vida podem ser eficazes no manejo do distúrbio intestinal.

Assessing the role of production capacity in mitigating carbon emissions: a case study of Algeria
Authors: Zemri Bouazza Elamine , Gassem Mohammed Fouad
Published: January 2025

This study examines the relationship between productive capacity and CO2 emissions in Algeria, addressing the pressing challenge of sustainable development in the context of climate change.  The aim is to explore how enhancing production capacity can influence environmental outcomes, particularly in terms of carbon emissions. To achieve this, the study employs an Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, with results validated through an Error Correction Model (ECM), using data from 1990 to 2023. The findings reveal that improvements in productive capacity contribute to a long-term reduction in CO2 emissions per capita. However, an increase in energy consumption has the potential to undermine these gains, underlining the need for greater energy efficiency. Key policy recommendations suggest prioritizing investments in energy-efficient technologies, thereby enhancing Algeria’s productive capacity while minimizing environmental impact. This framework provides a valuable pathway for aligning economic growth with sustainable environmental practices, offering actionable insights for policymakers aiming to balance development with climate goals.

Published: January 2025

Desertification in Algeria essentially concerns the steppes of the arid and semi-arid regions of the high plateau which are subject to recurrent droughts and increasing anthropogenic pressure; this phenomenon results in the reduction of biological potential. Faced with this alarming situation, a project called the green dam was established with the aim of maintaining ecological balance.
The work carried out consists of taking stock of the reforestation of the green dam in the Djelfa region and its impact on phytodiversity by qualitative and quantitative analysis, it aims to highlight the richness of the flora in this area.40 phytosociological surveys used a subjective sampling between March to June 2024 with a minimum surface of 100 m2 allowed us to draw up a list of 109 plant species distributed across 21 botanical families, Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Poaceae as the most dominant families with (27.5%, 13.8% and 12.8%) respectively. Therophytes represented 57.8% of the biological spectrum, this translates into dominance of annual herbaceous plants with a short life cycle better adapted to semi-arid and arid conditions. Mediterranean species constituted 38,5% of the flora, showcasing the ecological significance of the region.
Overall, the results reveal a remarkable floristic richness despite local environmental containments which threaten its sustainability, hence protection and development measures are necessary by managers in order to preserve this natural heritage.

Authors: Djeddou-Benabid Amira , Houssou Hind , Djeddi Khaled , Ouachtati Dounia
Published: January 2025

Toxoplasmosis is a universal zoonosis caused by an obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. One of its main manifestations is abortion in humans and animals. The present review aims to clarify the situation of the disease in camelids in different countries across the four continents of the world (Africa, Asia, America and Europe) over the past twenty years. The research strategy involved collecting all published data during this period, focusing on the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection and genotyping in different camelid species, as well as analyzing the various identified risk factors. This review provides a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of Toxoplasma gondii infection worldwide, making it a valuable resource for researchers. In total, 81 studies published between 2004 and 2024 involving 22040 camelids from 23 countries were included for the final analyses (Seropositivity studies covered 21844 camelids, while genotyping studies were performed on 585 camelids). The overall global seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in the Camelidae family was 28.76% with 6284 positive cases. The highest seroprevalence rate was in Europe (73.01%), followed by Africa (39.26%), Asia (22.16%) and finally America (22.05%). The current article highlighted a high seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in camelids worldwide, thus emphasizing the significant role these animals can play in the transmission cycle of this zoonotic disease. Therefore, it is essential to implement prevention and control measures as well as to raise public awareness to mitigate the public health impact of the disease.

Published: January 2025

Diabetes is a growing global epidemic, necessitating effective management to prevent long-term complications. Natural substances are increasingly explored as alternatives to synthetic drugs due to their affordability and lower risk of side effects. This study investigates the qualitative composition and the hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and antioxidant activities of date seed extract (Phoenix dactylifera L.) in diabetic rats fed a high-fructose diet. Male rats were divided into four groups (n=6): Control (C, standard diet), Fructose Diabetic (FD, 60% fructose diet), and Control and Diabetic groups receiving daily 30 mL of aqueous date seed extract (C-aqDS, FD-aqDS). Weight gain, food and energy intake were monitored, while blood samples were analyzed for biochemical and oxidant/antioxidant markers. High-fructose consumption significantly increased body weight, energy intake, and apparent nutritional efficiency, while food intake remained unchanged. Biochemical markers, including glucose, glycated hemoglobin, uric acid, urea, creatinine, lipids, and liver enzymes, were elevated in FD rats compared to controls. Oxidative stress markers (MDA, PC) were increased, and antioxidant markers (catalase, SOD, GSH) decreased. Treatment with date seed extract significantly mitigated these abnormalities, reducing weight, biochemical parameters, and oxidative stress markers while enhancing antioxidant defenses. This study highlights the richness of date seed aqueous extract in bioactive compounds and its ability to alleviate early diabetic complications and oxidative stress in high-fructose-induced diabetic rats. These findings suggest its potential as a functional food for diabetes management.

A Study on Buddhist Paintings of Iksan in Mordern Era
Authors:   THE RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR THE MAHAN-BAEKJE CULTURE, Jung Yu Ra
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to identify the current state of Buddhist paintings in the Iksan region with a particular focus on temples as well as introduce a variety of works. Additionally, it examines the hwaseung (monk painters) who participated in the creation of these Buddhist paintings through the analysis of hwagi (painting inscriptions) recorded on the artworks. Although there is a relatively small number of extant Buddhist paintings in the Iksan area, with 20 works across eight sites, this study attempts to address gaps in previous research by exploring the connection between the number of works and the influence of the hwaseung. This paper is particularly useful in understanding the cultural context of the Iksan region through its study of Buddhist painting production from the late 19th to the 20th century.
During this period, various hwaseung groups actively worked and represented their respective regions. Members of the group known as the Gyeryongsan School such as Geumho-Yakhyo, Boeung-Munseong, and Geumyong-Ilseop gained prominence for their unique iconography and painting styles within the modern Buddhist art scene. In contrast, there were others like Hoeun-Jeongyeon who left their mark by staying steadfast in maintaining and preserving the traditional painting style of Geumho-Yakhyo. The constant exchange and mutual influence practiced amongst painters traveling across regions make it difficult to classify individuals under a specific school. However, the most prominent group of hwaseung to represent the Iksan area undoubtedly includes Hoeun-Jeongyeon, along with his contemporaries Jinwol-Cheonho and Jineum-Sango. These painters both upheld and transformed preexisting traditions. Additionally, the use of sketches led to the production of many Buddhist paintings featuring the same iconography. Although there is a limited number of works in the Iksan region, the active involvement of influential hwaseung from the 19th to 20th centuries highlights the shared iconographic and stylistic elements of the era and regional schools. Simultaneously, the hwaseung were also able to establish their individual styles through various ways such as the use of Chinese woodblock prints and the genre of hadan-tanghwa (hanging paintings), which aptly showcases each painter’s skill and abilities. The influence of the Gyeryongsan School continues in modern Buddhist painting, leaving a lasting impact on the Buddhist paintings found in the Iksan region.
Dagaya's Negotiations with the Namje and the Meaning of the Bonkukwang(本國王)
Authors:   Soc Stud Early Kor His, Shin Ka-young
Published: January 2025

This article examines how Daegaya was able to negotiate with Namje in the international situation of the 5th century, and what the title of “Bonkukwang(本國王)” as a result of the negotiations meant to Daegaya.
Although it is sometimes assumed that Geumgwanguk negotiated with Namje based on the title of “Bokukgukgun Bongukwang(輔國將軍 本國王)” by Namje, or that Anra negotiated with Namje based on recent excavations, Garaguk in “Namjeseo” is identified as Daegaya.
There are varying opinions on Daegaya's negotiation route for the Namje, but the route from the Korean Peninsula to China was via the west coast, which was Baekje territory. Given the close relationship between Daegaya and Baekje at the time, it is likely that Daegaya sent envoys to the Namje with the help of Baekje.
It can be said that Daegaya's external achievement of receiving the appointment title from Namje was a success. Internally, it also symbolizes the growth and development of Daegaya. The title of “Bonkukwang” may have been used within the sphere of influence of Daegaya, but it was limited to Daegaya. Based on this, it is difficult to understand that Daegaya dominated the foreign negotiations of the Gaya countries or led the Gaya countries. In other words, the title of “Bonkukwang” could not have influenced other Gaya regions beyond Daegaya's sphere of influence.
A Review of Up-To-Date Research Knowledge on the Corrosion Inhibiting Capability of Garlic (Allicin Sativum) for Steel Materials
Authors: T.N. Guma T.N. Guma , Jacob O. Aremo Jacob O. Aremo
Published: January 2025

Corrosion is a monumental economic and
technological problem worldwide. Despite the poor
corrosion resistance of steel material, contributing
to about 90% of all corrosion problems worldwide,
it remains the most versatile and critical structural
material in the construction of automobiles, ships,
aircraft, rail transport systems, engine systems,
pipeline systems, bridges, buildings, petroleum
refineries, etc. Corrosion inhibitors are effective
alternatives for protecting steel against corrosion in
aqueous environments. Synthetic corrosion
inhibitors pose serious problems to global
environmental issues and health risks in usage to
reduce corrosion of large amounts of steel goods,
so natural plant extracts have been under study for
replacing synthetic inhibitors in various
environments due to their excellent environmental
properties, handling safety, and good corrosion
inhibition capabilities. This paper aims to present
up-to-date research knowledge on the corrosion
inhibition capability of garlic for steel materials,
covering its requirements as a potential corrosion
inhibitor and various research studies on its steel
corrosion inhibition capability in various aqueous
environments as integrated knowledge for
application. The review shows that garlic is a very
effective corrosion inhibitor of steel corrosion. It is
also a safe-for-handling, biodegradable, and ecofriendly plant that is sustainably available around
the world. Its extracts can be dependably prepared
in sufficient quantity around the world for
corrosion inhibition of steel materials and some
other purposes. However, little is seen to have been
done with the existing research findings for
practical protection of steel materials in various
aqueous environments. The review information is
therefore posited for standardization and
commercialization consideration of garlic extracts
as corrosion inhibitors for practical corrosion
inhibition of steel materials or further research

This study presents a contingency
ranking analysis for the Nigerian 330kV power
system using ETAP software. The network model,
consisting of 65 buses, 120 transmission lines, 16
generators, and 14 loads, was evaluated to identify
critical contingencies affecting system performance.
Results indicate that the outage of the M2S line
poses the most significant threat to grid stability,
while the SAPELE NIPP generator failure has
negligible impact. Recommendations focus on
enhancing system resilience through load
management, network restructuring, and renewable
energy integration. Limitations of the study include
model simplification and software dependency,

Sustainable performance of village-owned enterprises, as one of the social enterprise organizations in Indonesia, has become the focus of various parties. This is because the performance of village-owned enterprises has not yet met expectations. Most village owned enterprises are inactive, and the rest barely survive in the villages. This study is an initial step to examine the factors that can influence the sustainable performance of village-owned enterprises. Based on previous literature and applicable regulations in Indonesia, this study suggests examining the impact of transformational leadership, organizational capability, good governance, and innovation on the sustainable performance of village-owned enterprises. This study also suggests exploring in-depth the measurement of sustainable performance in two dimensions, financial and social. Furthermore, for the future, measuring the good governance of village-owned enterprises can refer to the principles established in the regulations.

The development of the Internet led to the development of various communication mediums such as websites, mobile phones, and social networking systems. The physical limitations and constraints of conventional media in conveying information can be overcome with the emergence of digital media technology. Thus, the research has been carried out to examine the effectiveness of a new examination information dissemination approach, which is also known as the FSPPP Exam Kit. The study examines the student perception of the kit and assesses the outcome of the kit implementation. This includes disciplinary issues such as cheating, improper dress code, missing examination slips, and late/absenteeism for examination. This study uses a quantitative approach and a questionnaire to collect information. The study population includes students from the Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Seremban, as many as 2000 students. The sample size involved 322 systematic randomly selected respondents. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The study results found that most students have widely accepted this kit, and it helps reduce examination disciplinary issues. Moreover, a significant negative relationship exists between kit effectiveness and disciplinary cases. The kit can be an alternative to the faculty's formal communication tool with appropriate improvements. The kit helps them get information, interact with each other, and improve their knowledge about the examination procedures. This study reveals the importance of websites and new media in delivering information to university stakeholders.
CORPUS-BASED TRANSLATION STUDY ON THE SIMPLIFICATION OF CHINESE SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FILMS

Published: January 2025

While previous research has explored simplification in literary translation studies, this study's focus on universals in audiovisual translation studies(AVT), especially in subtitling. In the era of advancing technology, where machine translation and automated translation analysis tools play a crucial role, the study of simplification as a universal phenomenon provides valuable insights. Understanding which translation features are universal across different language pairs can guide improvements in modern translation analysis tools and methods, and enhance translation accuracy. This study delves into the realm of translation studies to investigate simplification in Chinese subtitles of English-language films compared to Chinese subtitles of Chinese-language films. The research explores the presence of simplification in translation by examining three key aspects: lexical variety, lexical density, and high-frequency words. The findings reveal that Chinese subtitles of English-language film , as translated text, exhibit a reduced level of lexical variety when compared to Chinese subtitles of Chinese-language films, as the non-translations. Specifically, Chinese subtitles of English-language films employ more function words and fewer content words, resulting in lower lexical density than Chinese subtitles in Chinese-language films. The statistical analysis of high-frequency words further supports the notion that high-frequency words are used more frequently in translated Chinese subtitles than in the original Chinese subtitles. These results align with the simplification hypothesis proposed by Laviosa (1998) and Hu (2007). This research aims to enhance the comprehension of the intricacies of Chinese translation, not only across linguistic boundaries but also in the realm of technology, contributing to the reference of translation studies and practice.
