Authors: Shakiba Marjan , Karimi Abdollah , Ghomi Zahra , Montazeri Masoumeh Sadat
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Hyperphosphatemic Familial Tumoral Calcinosis (HFTC) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by abnormal phosphate regulation and soft tissue calcifications. Early diagnosis is crucial for optimal management to prevent complications. Case Presentation: A one-year-old child presented with intermittent fevers and a gluteal mass. Ultrasound revealed a calcified abscess, and biopsy confirmed a pseudocyst. Further workup identified elevated blood calcium, phosphorus, and neutropenia. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with HFTC. Discussion: Early diagnosis of HFTC is challenging due to the rarity of the disease and the potential for non-specific initial symptoms. This case highlights the importance of considering HFTC in the differential diagnosis for a young child with unexplained soft tissue masses or skeletal abnormalities, even outside the usual age range. Conclusions: This case report emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion for HFTC in pediatric patients with suggestive clinical features, regardless of age. Early diagnosis and prompt intervention are essential to improve long-term outcomes and prevent complications.

PROBLEMS OF TRANSLATING IMPERATIVE MOOD IN THE GLORIOUS QUR’AN INTO ENGLISH
Authors: Fathi Dhuha Abduljabbar , Othmand Muhd Suki
Published: October 2024

Much ink has been spilt on the study of imperative mood in Arabic. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted about the translation of imperative mood in the Glorious Qur'an into English. This study comes to abridge that gap. Throughout this paper, the study sheds light on the problems of translating imperative mood in the Glorious Qur'an into English. The study hypothesizes that the difficulty of translating the imperative mood into English arises from the fact that there is no one to one correspondence between the form and function of the imperative mood in the Qurān. To put it more precisely, misunderstanding the real function of the imperative verb leads to inaccurate translation. Consequently there will be confusion between what obligatory duty is and what is recommendable or apprehensive from the juristic perspective. In order to convey the functions of imperative mood into English via using communicative theory of Newmark (1988a, 1988b) in translation. The study ends by giving some recommendations and proposing some suggestions for further studies.
A Study of the Speech act of Advising in Pahlavi with Reference to its Realization in English
Authors: Al-Sulaimaan Misbah Mahmood , Ahmed Arazoo Rasool
Published: October 2024

Speech act of advising is the utterance by illocutionary point of getting the hearer to conduct the action in hearer’s own sake without obligation. The present study aims at analyzing speech act advising in Pahlavi text of Counsels of AdarbadMahraspandan in the light of pragmatics in general and speech act theory in particular. It is a pragma-linguistic analysis of the speech act of advising with particular focus on their establishment and their realization in both source which is in Pahlavi (SL.) and the target language which is English (TL.). It can also be regarded as a quest to verify whether it is possible to postulate felicity conditions and semantic rules for the acts under study; and whether structural and cultural divergences between Pahlavi and English exhibit differences in the status and realization of these acts in the two languages. Several hypotheses are put forward in the study; for example, it is hypothesized that speech act theory can be applied to this particular literary genre (Counsels), that felicity conditions and asemantic rules can be generated to establish and analyze speech act of advising, that literary texts resemble normal ordinary conversations in structure and realization, that the SL and TL might exhibit a network of different patterns of the acts under discussion, and so on. In addition to verifying the validity of the above hypotheses, the study has come out with several findings: First, speech act theory can be applied to counsels as it applies to other genres. Secondly, both the SL and TL exhibit a high degree of similarities in subject, agent, voice,etc. Thirdly, it shows structural difference in both languages. Fourth, a high degree of translatability is reflected pertaining to the realization of speech act of advising in the TL; this indirectly hints at the phenomenon of language categories which put the both Pahlavi and English under Indo-European languages.

The Exploration of Ambivalence and Hybridity in 'The Tempest'
Authors: Ahmed Sheikh Saifullah
Published: October 2024

The paper focuses on how ambivalence sets off a scandalous locus exclusively intended for Caliban and Ariel in 'The Tempest'. Caliban, a colonized-divided-self, is incapable of reproducing himself accurately to the European settlers. This provocative feature stimulates Caliban and Ariel to be turbulent for liberty resulting from their resistance and rebellion against Prospero and the colonial legacy reinforcing their hybridization that intimidates Prospero too to lose his sole authority over the island, and trials his monolithic power. Ariel is a submissive spirit unlike Caliban; he is deprived of the concrete human figure where Caliban is portrayed as a semi-human creature. Consequently, the ambivalent portrayal of Ariel and Caliban emphasizes the blend of convoluted identities in a hybrid formation, which invites the postcolonial critics to debate on.

Artificial Intelligence for Media: Opportunities or Threats
Authors: Kumar Prashant , Singh Bhaskar
Published: October 2024

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has ushered in an era of unprecedented possibilities and, at the same time, poses significant threats in the media landscape. As a potent tool, AI can streamline operations, offering innovative solutions like content personalization, predictive analytics, and augmented reality experiences that can enhance user engagement and boost the media industry’s economic viability. These opportunities allow for a more immersive and personalized user experience, leveraging data to create content that is finely tuned to individual preferences and trends. However, the integration of AI in media does not come without its challenges. The threat of deep fakes and the dissemination of misinformation stand as substantial concerns, with AI technologies facilitating the creation of highly convincing fake content that can manipulate perceptions and sow discord. Moreover, the autonomy given to AI systems can potentially lead to job displacements and raise ethical concerns regarding privacy and data security. Despite these threats, when wielded responsibly and ethically, AI can usher in a new golden age for media characterized by creativity, efficiency, and innovation. As the media industry stands at this crossroads, it must navigate the fine balance between leveraging AI’s opportunities and mitigating its potential threats, fostering a landscape that upholds truth, ethics, and human value at its core. It is imperative for stakeholders to collaborate, devising strategies and regulatory frameworks to ensure AI serves as a force for good, steering media towards a future that embodies progress and inclusivity.
Communication of Science & Technology in Ancient India and its Relevance in Contemporary Scenario
Authors: Kumar Prashant , Singh Bhaskar
Published: October 2024

Communication is an essential part of all social beings and humans especially have been successful in fighting adversities throughout their evolutionary history because they could communicate and invent necessary tools and procedures to help their survival. It goes without saying that a group as a whole can prosper only if it is able to think of ideas and communicate among them as well. Discovering and inventing concepts is something that falls under the domain of science whereas sharing it with others for them to be applied and executed comes under communication. Science and communication have come together to make great strides in our history of development. India’s contribution is also unparalleled when it comes to science and communication. It is quite evident from old texts that our ancestors had exemplary communication skills. The knowledge of mathematics, medicine, and complex philosophy was majorly communicated through chants and verses. The oral tradition transitioned to written texts on copper plates, on barks and on leaves and eventually using paper by the end of 12th and 13th centuries AD. From verses and hymns, they turned to prose explaining Astronomy, Mathematics, Medical Science, Technology and Agriculture. Communication in the ancient past of India was abundant with discussions and debates adhering to rules and regulations. All these rules are quite applicable to the communication of science and technology, even in the modern era. Therefore, more research in ancient Indian communication pattern might actually be quite helpful in uncovering rich tradition of knowledge sharing.
Role of Artificial Intelligence in Promotion of Indian Art Culture
Authors: Kumar Pirshant , Kumar Hariom
Published: October 2024

Both artificial intelligence (ठजप्पिप्पन्स प्ज्ञामसपहमद्बम) and culture are important hallmarks of modern times. On the one hand, while artificial intelligence attempts to mimic human intelligence, on the other hand, culture studies a person's life, language, and cultural characteristics. With the adjustment of these two, a new direction and approach is emerging in the art field which is contributing significantly to the development of our society and culture. The relationship between artificial intelligence and Indian art culture has shown a new direction that is taking Indian cultural heritage forward with modernity. This relationship not only helps in giving purpose to Indian literature and art, but also presents the diversity and richness of India to the world. The matching of artificial intelligence and Indian art culture makes it clear that the use of technology gives a new dimension to art, opening the way to artistic prosperity. This relationship has made the art more effective and unique and has also maintained the important role of Indian culture. This has not only helped in the development of Indian art culture, but has also provided a medium to take it to a higher level, through which Indian art culture can keep pace with the modern world. Artificial intelligence has also begun to be used in art culture, such as techniques for conducting cultural research on color, form, and dimension. This is giving a new direction to the diversity and richness of art and new and special forms are emerging in art craftsmanship. The modern technological contribution of this matching of artificial intelligence and art culture is opening new dimensions of art. For example, artificial intelligence is being used in painting and graphics design, creating new experiences, especially in the 3D and virtual art fields. Artificial intelligence and art culture together are opening the way to new possibilities. Both these sectors are making important contributions in building a strong and prosperous society and helping in the preservation, promotion and development of culture. The presented research article discusses in detail how artificial intelligence can play an important role in the preservation and development of Indian art culture.
La adopción frente al interés superior de los niños/as y adolescentes en Ecuador
Authors: Edison Marcelo Quintuña Aucapiña  , Erlin Ricardo Estrada Murillo
Published: October 2024

La adopción es un proceso legal y social que establece un vínculo permanente de filiación entre adoptantes y un niño, niña y adolescente, otorgándole los mismos derechos y deberes que un hijo biológico. La adopción se lleva a cabo mediante un procedimiento en donde lo primordial es garantizar el interés superior del niño, niña y adolescente por ello este está regulado por el Código de la Niñez y Adolescencia (CONA). El proceso de adopción consta de dos fases, una administrativa y una judicial. En la fase administrativa, se evalúa la situación del niño, niña y adolescente la idoneidad de los posibles adoptantes, y según eso se asigna una familia. Mientras que en la fase judicial se da la sentencia de adopción, y se ordena la inscripción en el Registro Civil. A pesar, de que este procedimiento puede parecer sencillo, este puede durar entre 2 a 4 años, lo que lo hace complejo y lleno de burocracia innecesaria afectando principalmente los derechos de los menores de edad. Por ello, el objetivo principal de este articulo académico es analizar si el proceso de adopción en Ecuador vulnera el principio del interés superior de niños y adolescentes. Esta investigación se realizó mediante una metodología con enfoque cualitativo con los métodos histórico, exegético y analítico.
