Authors: Yang Jingxuan
Published: March 2023

With the increasing complexity of the international situation, more and more scholars have begun to study political discourses. Leaders of various countries make their speeches to show their positions and convey their ideas for the purpose of influencing the audience. Therefore, a comprehensive and detailed analysis of their reports is particularly important. In the 1970s, Eugene A. Nida put forward the dynamic equivalence, which provided a new theoretical basis for discourse analysis, and the subsequently developed functionalism translation theory also opened up a new way for the analysis of political discourses. Firstly, this thesis selects the report on the work of the government as the authoritative corpus sample, which is attractive and of great research value. Secondly, the thesis analyzes the report on the Work of the Government from the perspective of functionalism translation theory, and explores the language characteristics of the report on the Work of the Government through the study of the fidelity principle, politics principle, culture principle and acceptability principle.

Feminist translation theory has a long history and has been developed and perfected in the translation practice of many works. This section explains feminist translation theory and also explains the translation perspective of "bisexual homology" that belongs to the feminist translation methodology. This essay proposed to discuss a famous poet in Song Dynasty, who is Li Qingzhao. Her poems reflect the characteristics of the Song Dynasty women's euphemisms and shallow feelings, and reflect women's keen intuition. In this paper, it aims to analyze how a variety of translators express feminism in translated texts. It is obvious that translators always use preface, footnoting, hijacking and supplement to represent feminism. After the analysis of translated text, the strategies that used in these texts can be an effective and efficient method to make the readers have a deeper and more clear understanding of some traditional Chinese stuffs in the these poems and the representing in feminism.

Authors: Zhang Zhizhuo
Published: March 2023

In the context of the Internet era, the emergence and development of new media technology has affected many industries in society and spawned the birth and popularity of mobile short video apps represented by TikTok. This interactive new technology of TikTok has a huge influence on People's Daily life and on the traditional film industry and even the newly emerged "new media film industry". This study analyzes the impact of the interactive new technology of TikTok on the pre-production stage specifically. The impact happens in three primary angles. It demonstrates that TikTok is not just in a position to be used by filmmakers for their publicity. Meanwhile, it already started to reverse its influence on the front end of the movie industry chain. Through the method of literature research, this article gives a new definition of "new media film" and "short video", which is conducive to better-targeted research on TikTok-dominated short videos. At the same time, this study also subdivides the impact of short videos on the film industry based on the industrial chain, focusing on the impact on the pre-production stage of the film, which is rarely mentioned in previous studies.

Authors: Guo Yuan
Published: March 2023

Along with the rapid development of media technology, social media has become an indispensable part of human life. Social media enables the spread of information that exceeds the restriction of physical and temporal boundaries. While enhancing the convenience and connectedness of human beings, social media, to some extent, grievously affects people’s internal well-being. The widespread use of media platforms leads to social media addiction, especially among the young generation.This article takes teenagers as the research object, and uses the literature reading method to explore the causes and consequences of social media addiction. According to the research results, the reason about social media additions includes biological reasons, psychological reasons and social reasons. Consequences of social media addition among young generations include the shape of toxic beauty standards, body shaming, beauty and eating disorders. Social media has created a platform where people share only the positive part of themselves; peer pressure has formed under these circumstances. Adolescents are predominantly the victims of mainstream beauty standards. Body shaming and eating disorders are the representative psychological impacts due to the dissatisfaction with one's physical characteristics and the desire to be more "beautiful".

Authors: Han Xi , Han Xianjun
Published: March 2023

Based on the viewpoint that the rock and soil are not homogeneous materials, the spatial variability of its mechanical parameters should be considered, and the influence of the spatial variability of the elastic modulus of the rock mass on the roadway deformation should be considered. Taking a coal mine roadway as the background, the spatial variability of elastic modulus of rock mass is characterized by means of random field theory. The random field data is simulated by Matlab software and the random field is discretized. The random field data is imported into each grid in the Abaqus model through Python language, and then the numerical model is operated in batches to obtain the displacement data of key points of the roadway and surrounding rock, which is consistent with the actual engineering. The displacement data is analyzed and processed based on the reliability method, and the  contour map of the roadway surrounding rock reliability index is calculated. Through the analysis, it can be concluded that the simulation accuracy of this method meets the engineering requirements, and the isoline distribution of the reliability index  conforms to the engineering practice, which is a good way to analyze the reliability of the roadway structure.

Authors: Wang Yifan
Published: March 2023

Evaluation is an important part in the process of English teaching. A scientific assessment method can improve teaching efficiency. The traditional test-oriented assessment tends to reduce students’ interest and motivation in English learning. As a form of formative assessment, portfolio assessment focuses on students’ learning process rather than learning results, which can play an unique role in students’ interest, attitude and ability in English writing. In order to promote a more scientific assessment system and know more about the current situation of the application in portfolio assessment in middle school English writing. This study takes 60 students from Class 2, Grade 1 of Yongnian middle school as the research objects, which aims to analyze the current situation of English writing and the application of portfolio in middle school. From the data of the two questionnaires, it can be concluded that students’ interest in writing, writing attitude and writing ability have been significantly improved. The portfolio is an effective measure for teachers to record students’ learning process. At the same time, this paper analyzes and summarizes some shortcomings in the evaluation of English writing. Finally, on the basis of this research, this paper puts forward some suggestions for teachers, hoping to solve the problems in the application of portfolio assessment, so as to improve the quality of teaching.
The Literature Review of English Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition
Authors: He Yu
Published: March 2023

In the field of second language acquisition, Hulstijin (2001) believes that vocabulary incidental acquisition usually refers to the fact that when learners perform meaningful second-language language use or learning activities, such as reading articles, watching movies, or listening to music, their attention is not focused on vocabulary learning, but inadvertently acquires part of the knowledge about vocabulary, which is a kind of vocabulary cognitive activity that occurs incidentally when attention is focused on other activities. This vocabulary learning is a byproduct of second language learners learning other skills.

Genetic algorithm is one of methods that can be used to solve complex optimization problems. One of the problems encountered by a fruit company is determine the distribution 5 types of fruits that will be sold to 5 distributors. Genetic algorithm itself is an optimization technique that is based on the evolution of living things, which in the evolution of living beings experience natural selection mechanism (including crossover and mutation) to be able to survive. In addition to the main purpose of implement genetic algorithms in this problem, the study will also try to compare with other optimization methods such as simulated annealing and Firefly Algorithm.This study also did the design and manufacture of software applications using genetic algorithms for optimization calculations provision and the distribution 5 types of fruits to 5 distributors, so it will get maximum income. However, the maximum income does not mean a good result. Because the distribution of fruit to distributors should be fair. Therefore, in this case the maximum income must be accepted by the company and distributors. If income is too high will have an impact on the company and distributor. Conversely, if income is too little will have an impact on the company and distributors. The results of this study showed that 10 times experiment using some number of generations. Genetic algorithms can generate maximum income is Rp. 136 167 000 from tenth experiment. While Simulated Annealing can generate maximum income is Rp. 141 028 000 from tenth experiment. And the Firefly Algorithm can generate maximum income is Rp. 158 844 500 from second experiment. Besides that results, the performance of Genetic Algorithm and Firefly Algorithm able to get results fast enough from the simulated annealing. It was because of the GA and FA generate many solutions, while SA is only a single solution. However, the results of the SA is good enough than the GA although it takes large iteration. FA get a very big result. And FA were able get maximum global quickly. However, these results are not suitable for use on this problem.

Analyzing Pre-Contracts Agreement in Professional Footballer Contracts in Saudi Arabia: Can Players Change Their Minds?
Authors: Alrefaei Ammar
Published: March 2023

FIFA's (The Fédération Internationale de Football Association) regulation and Saudi professional player's regulation allow footballers and their agents to start negotiating new deals with third parties in the last six months of the contracts. Some players and agents may use this period to initiate bidding wars between rival clubs by entering pre-contracts with an alleged possibility of terminating them at no cost. There is growing evidence of such practices in Saudi Arabia after revoking the salary cap rule in professional football contracts. This article analyses this issue through the lens of the existing legal treatment of pre-contracts by FIFA, CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport), and applicable national laws (Swiss and English). Based on the findings, a series of propositions are made to introduce into the future regulations governing Saudi football leagues. The goal of such propositions is to avoid misapplication of pre-contracts, maintain contractual stability, encourage negotiations in good faith, and promote competitiveness without reducing contractual flexibility for players in the wake of salary cap cancellation.

IBD, leading to great advances in the treatment as well as diagnosis of IBD. In this review, we have systemically reviewed the pathogenesis of IBD and highlighted recent advances in host genetic factors, gut microbiota, and environmental factors and especially, in abnormal innate and adaptive immune responses and their interactions, which may hold the keys to identify novel predictive or prognostic biomarkers and develop new therapies. Protein-based biomaterials have been used in many biotechnology and biomedicine applications. This article briefly introduces the use of keratin in Ulcerative Colitis, and then focuses on the recent researches on the application of keratin in drug delivery systems. Keratins are associated with pathogenesis of various colorectal diseases including IBD & Cancer. In the intestinal epithelium principally expressed keratins are keratin 8, 18 & 19. Keratins are a type of intermediate filament proteins which is a part of cellular cytoskeleton have important regulatory functions on the colonic mucosa. Keratin also functions in cell-death signalling pathways in particular apoptosis mediated by FaS & Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF-α). TNF-α, functionally triggers a series of molecular signals for biological functions such as inflammation and cell-death. Keratin is shown to modulate tumour necrosis factor's action. If keratin undergoes post translational modifications specifically-Phosphorylation then it has the ability to modulate TNF - α. This process (PTM - Phosphorylation) has potential to alter the stability, sub-cellular location & enzymatic activity of proteins (Keratin) with diverse roles in cell.
“AUSTRIAN WRITER” IN THE TEXT OF W.G. SEBALD:
ОN SOME FEATURES OF HIS PROSE STYLE
Authors: Sokolova Elizaveta
Published: March 2023

The literary heritage of an influential German writer and academical
literary critic of the late twentieth century W.G. Sebald (1944–2001) is considered in
relation to the essential features of Austrian literature (as a special phenomenon)
identified by N.S. Pavlova, and in the context of its important topics. The article
traces Sebald’s rise as an outstanding prose writer in parallel with how his interest
as an academic Germanist was focusing on the work of Austrian writers (from
Adalbert Stift er, 1805–1868, to Peter Handke, b. 1942), how he was familiarizing
himself with fundamentals of their worldview (distrust of reality; lack of confidence
in the state, homeland and the language; deep intimacy with ‘things’; dominance of
sensation over judgment) and acute topics (physical and mental pain, illness, homelessness, isolation).
Some pieces of Sebald’s prose are compared here to the work of the Austrian
writers (Franz Kafka and Th omas Bernhard in particular) to study his extremely
mobile and multi-layered perspective of narration, which is characteristic for all his
texts and lies at the core of the specifics of his literary style. The article aims not only
to show some important features of Sebald’s prose (the multilevel mediation of
perspective, ‘network structures’ within the text) in their connection to Austrian
literature of the last two centuries, but also to demonstrate that they were formed
largely due to his deep understanding of this literature.
MATHEMATICS AS AN ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE OF THE
SYSTEM OF CHARACTERS IN A. BELY’S NOVEL
PETERSBURG
Authors: Zhang Linlin
Published: March 2023

The paper attempts to prove that mathematics is not just one of the
keys to comprehending the conceptosphere of A. Bely’s novel Petersburg, but the
basis of his poetics, including the character sphere. It is the mathematical approach
to the ways of grouping characters, as well as to the types of psychological analysis,
that ensures the compositional unity of the chaotic, ‘unassembled’, at fi rst sight, text.
Th e ‘brain game’ of the characters and the author-narrator, which reveals the textgenerating algorithm of the novel and provides seemingly unlimited freedom to its
creator, turns out to be a carefully adjusted ‘program’ based on a system of binary
oppositions. A. Bely’s Petersburg, for all its ornamental ‘motleyness’, is one of the
most well-ordered texts of Russian literature: random encounters and collisions of
characters, their chaotic movements around the city, strange actions, as well as
‘disorderly’ thoughts, have a strict ‘mathematical foundation’.
At the same time, the principle of binary oppositions as the organizing principle
of the system of characters corresponds to the logic of the neo-mythological text,
which is characterized by the mutual refl ection of characters into each other, as well
as the division of a single ‘pro-hero’ into novel doubles. The philosophical ideas of
Vyach. Ivanov, dating back to the teachings of the Pythagoreans and their interpretation of the monad and dyad (as the essence of Apollo and Dionysus), are correlated in the novel with the scientific discoveries of Professor N.V. Bugaev (arrhythmology, the doctrine of ‘continuity’ and ‘discontinuity’). Moreover, it is emphasized
that Bely’s interest in the categories of singularity and multiplicity, which sets the
mathematically visual vector of perception of the text — and above all its system of
characters — reveals a typological relationship with other areas of mathematical
knowledge (in particular, with the Banach—Tarski paradox).

The perspective of firearms licensing under Polish and Czech law. Study of postulated changes in 2022.
Authors: Krzywicka Katarzyna
Published: March 2023

More and more people in Poland are deciding to obtain a firearms permit. Their decision is the result of, among other things, the war in Ukraine or the reduced feeling of security in the country. Recently, a draft Law on Weapons and Ammunition has been brought forward by MPs, in which they have taken into account regulations from EP and Council Directive (EU) 2021/555 of 24.03.2021 on control of the acquisition and possession of weapons. The paper analyses the provisions of the Law on Weapons and Ammunition, the regulations proposed in the MP's draft law and the analysis of the procedure for obtaining a weapon permit in the Czech Republic. Then a comparison and evaluation of the above regulations based on statistics was made and finally de lege ferenda postulates were indicated to improve the legal system and strengthen safety in Poland.
Hate and hate speech in the jurisprudence of Polish civil courts - selected issues
Authors: Słabuszewski Robert
Published: March 2023

The article presents an analysis of the jurisprudence of civil courts on hate and hate speech. It indicates the way of understanding the notions of "hate" and "hate speech" in the justifications of court decisions, irregularities in determining the amount of harm and redress, the importance that courts give to the prevention of hate speech. Moreover it indicates that the courts recognize that hate and hate speech are a catalyst for subsequent acts of verbal and physical aggression and they also set wider boundaries for acceptable criticism against public figures.

This study investigated the effect of dietary inclusion of differently processed cassava peel-leaf blend (CPLB) on performance and blood parameters of growing pigs. CPLB (Cassava peel: Cassava leaf; 5:1) was included in pigs diet in a feeding trial for 8wks. The CPLB replaced maize at 50%. Twenty four male crossbred (Large white x Landrace) pigs of mean weight range (20-22 kg) were assigned on a weight equalization basis to four dietary treatments having six replicates with one pig per replicate. A standard corn soya-based diet (control), Unfermented CPLB (UCPLB), water fermented CPLB (WCPLB) and microbial fermented CPLB (MCPLB) using Aspergillus tamarii as inoculum was formulated. Growth response was measured weekly, haematology and biochemical analysis were carried out at the end of 8th week. There was no significant (P>0,05) effect on growth performance and haematology parameters at the end of 8 weeks. Serum creatinine and thiocyanate were significantly (P<0,05) affected by dietary inclusion of processed CPLB at 8th week. Pigs fed diet containing UCPLB had reduced (P<0,05) serum creatinine (0,58 mg/dl). Serum thiocyanate was reduced (P<0.05) for pigs fed diets containing WCPLB (1,16 g/ml) and those fed diet containing MCPLB (1,10 g/ml). In conclusion, CPLB based diet irrespective of processing method did not significantly affect growth performance, haematological parameters and without negative effect on biochemical parameters.

To evaluate the effect of egg yolk and soybean based extenders containing trehalose on cryopreservation of goat spermatozoa. A total 100 ejaculates in winter were collected from 10 crossbred bucks. Ten pooled ejaculates from each buck were washed with phosphate buffer saline and splited into 4 different parts for dilution with 4 extenders (EXT): (EXT 1) tris (375mM), citrate (124mM), glucose (41mM) + 20% egg yolk (EY) (TCG); (EXT 2) TCG containing 131.25mM trehalose (TCG+T); (EXT 3) TCG + 25% soya and (EXT 4) TCG with 131.25mM trehalose + 25% soya. Analysis revealed that, the initial semen quality parameters except HOST did not differ significantly in all extenders. In soya based extender post-thaw live sperm and intact acrosome were significantly reduced than egg yolk based extender. Further, the addition of trehalose to both egg yolk and soya based extender significantly improved all the post- thaw semen quality parameters and superiority of post-thaw semen quality parameters were significantly observed in egg yolk based extender containing trehalose as compared to other semen extenders. It can be concluded that TGC containing 20% egg yolk and 35% as well as TCG containing 131.25mM trehalose are suitable for crossbred buck semen cryopreservation.

Conservation of locally adapted indigenous livestock has become an important objective in sustainable animal breeding.The current study is first detailed analysis of the genetic diversity harboured by Kaunayen chicken of Manipur.The genotype data generated on 24 microsatellite markers was analysed to establish distinctness of Kaunayen from other registered poultry breeds of India. Large number of observed alleles (212) and heterozygosity (0.66) indicated high genetic diversity. Mean number of alleles observed in Kaunayen chicken were 8.83Â±0.31 and ranged between 4 (MCW250 and LEI174) and 15 (LEI120). Mean effective number of alleles was significantly less (4.11Â±0.38) than the observed number of alleles. The maximum observed heterozygosity (1.0) was observed in MCW262 locus and the minimum (0.368) in LEI166. The expected heterozygosity (0.706) was more than the observed heterozygosity (0.664Â±0.036) which points to heterozygote deficiency and was also reflected in positive FIS estimate (0.06) for the population. Non-significant heterozygote excess on the basis of Infinite allele model and Two-phase model in conjunction with mode-shift analysis test, indicated an absence of bottleneck. Phylogenetic reconstruction on the basis of genetic distance places Kaunayen chicken as a distinct population with respect to other poultry breeds of India. All analysis showed that a significant amount of genetic variation is maintained in Kaunayen chicken population and has appropriately been registered as the 17th chicken breed of India.
