Censorship of Subtitled Films
Authors: GRINE Zehour
Published: February 2025

This research aims to analyze the complex questions raised by the censorship of subtitled films, focusing on cultural considerations as well as the technical and linguistic constraints imposed by such practices. It seeks to explore each element of the issue: specifically, censorship and its role in shaping the intellectual patterns of nations and societies, as well as the importance of subtitling as the primary technique for translating films. This raises several important questions: How can subtitling maintain its primary function as a cultural intermediary when it is subject to censorship that erases or alters the cultural markers and elements of the original language to avoid offending norms? Can we truly speak of globalization and openness to the Other when censorship confines viewers and keeps them trapped within their own social reality and a singular culture, under the guise of preserving social, moral, and cultural systems?  Does preserving a film's cultural elements through subtitling necessarily mean shocking the viewer, offending his sensibilities, or undermining his moral beliefs? What solutions can be proposed to address these concerns? All of these questions are examined using an analytical approach, aiming to highlight the complexities of this translation practice across linguistic, cultural, and cinematic dimensions.
Le développement de l'autonomie rédactionnelle des étudiants de première année de licence en atelier d'écriture : Une approche pédagogique innovante
Authors: NOUADRI Samia Ilhem
Published: February 2025

La production écrite constitue un défi pour la plupart des apprenants en langue étrangère, qui préfèrent souvent la recopie ou le complément de textes à la création d'écrits originaux. Cette difficulté prend racine dès le début de la scolarité et perdure jusqu'à l'âge adulte, façonnant des perceptions erronées sur l'écriture qui entravent l'apprentissage des langues étrangères. Pour remédier à ces obstacles et à leurs répercussions, les ateliers d'écriture ont émergés comme une méthode innovante dans le monde occidental pour l'enseignement des langues étrangères. Nous nous penchons donc sur cette pratique et son utilité dans l'enseignement de l'écriture en langues étrangères, notamment à l'université. À travers la comparaison de deux expériences d'ateliers d'écriture chez des étudiants, cette recherche vise à démontrer l'impact de la participation à de tels ateliers sur la compétence rédactionnelle, les comportements et les perceptions linguistiques des participants, notamment en transformant des attitudes négatives envers l'écrit et la langue en général. Les résultats de cette étude mettent en évidence les bénéfices des ateliers d'écriture pour le développement des compétences scripturales et l'autonomisation des apprenants en langue étrangère.

Analyse mythocritique du crime au féminin dans Puisque mon cœur est mort et Nulle autre voix de Maïssa Bey
Authors: KHELKHAL Badreddine
Published: February 2025

Cet article analyse les romans Puisque mon cœur est mort et Nulle autre voix de Maïssa Bey, dans lesquels les protagonistes féminines, animées par un désir de vengeance, empruntent des chemins criminels pour réclamer justice. En adoptant une approche mythocritique, l’étude analyse la violence de ces héroïnes à travers les figures mythiques de Médée, Clytemnestre, Philomèle et du phénix. Les résultats révèlent que Maïssa Bey réinvestit ces mythes, aussi bien de manière explicite qu’implicite, pour explorer la criminalité féminine, associant les actes de vengeance à des thèmes de renaissance et de résistance face aux oppressions sociales. L’article conclut que ces parallèles mythologiques éclairent la complexité des motivations de ces personnages et enrichissent la compréhension de la criminalité féminine dans un contexte littéraire.
في تحديد مفهوم الابتكار في ميدان الترجمة الأدبية
Authors: يزبك ماري
Published: February 2025

يرمي هذا البحث إلى تحديد مفهوم الابتكار في ترجمة النصوص الأدبية وتبيان اختلافه عن أي مفاهيم أخرى قد تصلح لوصف المسار الذي ينتهجه المترجم في أثناء نقله نصًا أدبيًّا إلى ثقافة هدف.  فترجمة النصوص الأدبية تتطلب من المترجم ألا يكتفي بنقل النص المصدر بشكل حرفي ملتزمًا التزامًا تامًا بالكلمات الماثلة أمام ناظريه أو برصف هذه الكلمات رصفًا مماثلًا لذلك المعتمَد في النص المصدر، وإنما تقتضي أن يبتكر المترجم نصًا جديدًا يحمل روح النص الأصلي ويجوهر معناه ويتميّز بأسلوب فريد يحترم أفكار القارئ الهدف وقيمه.  وقد اعتمدت الدراسة منهجًا تحليليًا شاملًا، يبدأ الباحث من خلاله بتفكيك مفهوم الابتكار في الترجمة حيث إنه يتم تحليل كل مكوّن من مكوّناته بشكل تفصيلي، لفهم العوامل التي تسهم في تشكيل هذا المفهوم. بعد ذلك، ينتقل الباحث إلى مرحلة التقويم، حيث إنه يعمد إلى نقد هذه المكوّنات وتقويم مدى صلاحيتها وفعاليتها في تحقيق الهدف المنشود. وفي المرحلة الأخيرة، يلجأ الباحث إلى التركيب حيث إنه يستخلص الاستنتاجات النهائية التي تساهم في تقديم رؤية متكاملة عن فهوم الابتكار في الترجمة الأدبية. ويتوصل البحث إلى أن "الابتكار" هو المصطلح الأنسب لوصف العملية التي يقوم بها المترجم لإنتاج نص أصيل يعكس بصمته الخاصة، كما أنه يظهر أن الترجمة الأدبية، بفضل هذا المسار الابتكاري، لا تزال تحتفظ بخصوصيتها التي تجعلها عصية على تدخل الذكاء الاصطناعي، وتظل فنًا بشريًا بامتياز.

Teaching Ability, Practices, and Career Development of Chinese Engineering Faculty
Authors: Yan Liqiang , Caiga Beverly
Published: February 2025

This study aims to explore in depth the career development of engineering teachers in China, particularly the relationship between teaching ability, practices, and career development.
The research results indicate that the teaching and research abilities of engineering teachers significantly affect their career development. Firstly, the survey shows that the teaching ability of teachers directly affects their job satisfaction and personal career development expectations in terms of professional knowledge application and innovative teaching methods. High level teaching ability not only enhances Faculty's performance in classroom teaching, but also contributes to their career growth. Secondly, research ability also plays an important role in the career development of teachers. Teachers with strong research abilities usually receive higher academic recognition, which provides a wide range of opportunities for their career development. In addition, it has been proven that Faculty's interpersonal communication skills are closely related to their career development. Teachers who excel in team collaboration and industry communication often have richer professional resources, thereby obtaining better career development opportunities.
This study also revealed the impact of Faculty's job satisfaction, needs, and expectations on their career development. The survey found that although teachers generally hold a positive attitude towards their career development, there are still certain gaps in demand and expectations in terms of salary, career advancement opportunities, and working conditions.
The significance of this study is to provide empirical evidence for education policy makers to further enhance the professional development environment for engineering teachers. Policy makers can take measures based on this to optimize the career growth path of teachers, such as providing more professional training opportunities and research support, improving Faculty's salary and working environment. It is recommended that universities and educational institutions focus on the professional growth needs of teachers in their career development plans, enhance their job satisfaction, and strengthen cooperation between universities and enterprises to provide more practical and development opportunities for engineering teachers.

Authors: Reyad Mohamed , Murad Mohamed R. , Sobhy Ahmed , Hassan Ahmed Magdy , Nassar Omar , Hassan Ahmed
Published: February 2025

Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway, typically characterized by unique physical features, congenital heart defects, and short stature. Osteoporosis (OP), although uncommon in NS, can significantly impact patients' quality of life. We report the case of a 60s-year-old male with NS who experienced progressive osteoporosis over seven years. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans revealed a marked decline in bone mineral density (BMD) accompanied by multiple fractures. Despite normal vitamin D and parathyroid hormone intact levels, the patient’s BMD continued to deteriorate, leading to vertebral compression fractures that necessitated surgical intervention. This case highlights the importance of early osteoporosis screening and prompt management in NS patients to prevent severe complications. Further research is warranted to explore the mechanisms underlying bone fragility in NS and to develop targeted therapeutic strategies.

Authors: Rahmat Shafa Khadijah , Sabila Fatsa Vidyaningtyas
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the impact of socioeconomic factors on stress levels across Southeast Asia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from the COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey were analyzed using regression analysis to identify key determinants along with clustering techniques, such as DBSCAN to group similar behavioral responses. Variables such as income, employment status, education level, and healthcare access were considered. The findings reveal significant disparities in stress levels related to socioeconomic conditions. For instance, countries with lower socioeconomic indicators, such as Vietnam and the Philippines, show high perceived stress levels (58,9% and 76,2% respectively). Conversely, countries with higher socioeconomic stability, like Brunei, exhibit moderate stress levels at 60%. These results underscore the importance of addressing socioeconomic inequalities to mitigate stress and enhance mental resilience across Southeast Asia.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif yaitu dengan library research atau kajian pustaka. Penelitian kualitatif sengaja dilakukan untuk memahami fenomena-fenomena yang terjadi menggunakan setting yang alamiah. Hasil pembahasannya adalah pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SDM) suatu negara adalah unsur pokok bagi kemakmuran dan pertumbuhan dan untuk penggunaan yang efektif atas sumber daya modal fisiknya. Investasi dalam bentuk modal manusia adalah suatu komponen integral dari semua upaya pembangunan. Pendidikan harus meliputi suatu spektrum yang luas dalam kehidupan masyarakat itu sendiri. Artinya dalam hal ini tidak ada kebijakan pemerintah yang bisa diteraka secara universal di semua negara. Ini adalah inti dari kritik kaum populis terhadap kebijakan neoliberal. Investasi dibidang pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SDM) merupakan suatu proses yang panjang dan untuk menunjang keberhasilan perencanaan tersebut, pendidikan dan pelathan harus dijadikan suatu tolok ukur untuk membangun suatu negara. Tetapi pendidikan diibaratkan sebagai suatu kereta yang ditarik kuda, artinya keberhasilan proses pendidikan merupakan kontribusi dari lintas sektoral yaitu tenaga kerja, industri ekonomi, budaya dan lain sebagainya.
Resilience in Crisis: A Longitudinal Study of Entrepreneurial Responses to COVID-19 pandemic
Authors:   Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, Zhang Yi , Bu Xiaochen ,   Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore what factors contribute to entrepreneurial resilience by analysing the challenges that Chinese entrepreneurs in China and Poland encountered during the pandemic, their coping plans, and the adjustments they made.

Methodology/Approach: The paper adopts a two-year longitudinal research methodology with two rounds of in-depth interviews to observe the immediate challenges faced by entrepreneurs and their responses at the beginning of 2021 on the one hand, and to follow up on their adjustments and the state of their businesses in 2023 on the other hand, in order to shed light on the long duration and complexity of the pandemic›s impact on entrepreneurs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two Chinese entrepreneurs to capture evolving dynamics. Data analysis emphasises thematic coding and content analysis to identify the dimensions influencing entrepreneurs’ resilience and adaptability in the post-COVID-19 era.

Findings: In the 2021 interviews, entrepreneurs demonstrated three key competencies: utilising network resources, rapid responding, and innovating. By the 2023 follow-up interviews, we found that entrepreneurs’ hardiness and flexible adjustment became essential to their resilience. These five dimensions represent entrepreneurs’ complexity and multidimensional resilience in a crisis.

Limitations: The research based on a limited dataset consisting of only two companies, which may not be representative of the broader business landscape. Additionally, there may be a degree of subjectivity in interpreting the data, and some details are lacking, such as specific financial figures. To enhance the depth and breadth of our findings, future research should aim for a larger and more diverse sample, access to more comprehensive data, and a more extended time frame.

Published: February 2025

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the determination of the effect of two process parameters (extraction temperature and extraction time) and their interaction on the yield of the total extract from white mustard seeds (Sinapis alba l.), as well as the creation of a mathematical model, 3D response surface, and the establishment of an optimal extraction region. Ethanol 96% as a green solvent was employed to separate biological compounds from white mustard (Sinapis alba l.) seeds by applying ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). UAE was performed at the temperature of 25, 30, and 35℃ for a duration of 30, 60, and 90 min. UAE as a modern extraction technique showed great performance, while the ethanol solvent provided a high yield of compounds. The utilized RSM design adequately fit the experimental data with a high coefficient of determination (R2=0.9365) and low mean absolute error (MAE=1.12242). Estimated effects for the yield of the total extract showed that the extraction time, the temperature, and the interaction between time and temperature influenced positively, while the time-squared and the temperature-squared influenced negativity on the yield of the total extract. Analysis of variance showed that 2 effects have P-values less than 0.05. The optimal yield of the total extracted oil was 15.19% at the temperature of 35℃ for a duration of 70.3 min.
The conserved ATPase PCH-2 controls the number and distribution of crossovers by antagonizing their formation in C. elegans

Published: February 2025

Meiotic crossover recombination is essential for both accurate chromosome segregation and the generation of new haplotypes for natural selection to act upon. This requirement is known as crossover assurance and is one example of crossover control. While the conserved role of the ATPase, PCH-2, during meiotic prophase has been enigmatic, a universal phenotype when
pch-2
or its orthologs are mutated is a change in the number and distribution of meiotic crossovers. Here, we show that PCH-2 controls the number and distribution of crossovers by antagonizing their formation. This antagonism produces different effects at different stages of meiotic prophase: early in meiotic prophase, PCH-2 prevents double strand breaks from becoming crossover-eligible intermediates, limiting crossover formation at sites of initial double strand break formation and homolog interactions. Later in meiotic prophase, PCH-2 winnows the number of crossover-eligible intermediates, contributing to the designation of crossovers and ultimately, crossover assurance. We also demonstrate that PCH-2 accomplishes this regulation through the meiotic HORMAD, HIM-3. Our data strongly support a model in which PCH-2’s conserved role is to remodel meiotic HORMADs throughout meiotic prophase to destabilize crossover-eligible precursors, coordinate meiotic recombination with synapsis, and contribute to the progressive implementation of meiotic recombination, guaranteeing crossover control.

Published: February 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) models have been used to study the compositional regularities of proteins in nature, enabling it to assist in protein design to improve the efficiency of protein engineering and reduce manufacturing cost. However, in industrial settings, proteins are often required to work in extreme environments where they are relatively scarce or even non-existent in nature. Since such proteins are almost absent in the training datasets, it is uncertain whether AI model possesses the capability of evolving the protein to adapt extreme conditions. Antibodies are crucial components of affinity chromatography, and they are hoped to remain active at the extreme environments where most proteins cannot tolerate. In this study, we applied an advanced large language model (LLM), the Pro-PRIME model, to improve the alkali resistance of a representative antibody, a VHH antibody capable of binding to growth hormone. Through two rounds of design, we ensured that the selected mutant has enhanced functionality, including higher thermal stability, extreme pH resistance and stronger affinity, thereby validating the generalized capability of the LLM in meeting specific demands. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first LLM-designed protein product, which is successfully applied in mass production.
Frequent intertrophic transmission of Wolbachia by parasitism but not predation

Published: February 2025

Wolbachia
is one of the most pervasive symbionts, estimated to infect ∼50% of arthropod species. It is primarily transmitted vertically, inducing a variety of fascinating reproductive manipulations to promote its spread within host populations. However, incongruences between host and
Wolbachia
phylogenies indicate substantial horizontal transmissions, the mechanisms of which are largely unexplored. By systematically analyzing
Wolbachia
surface protein (
wsp
) sequences on NCBI, we found that parasitism, not predation, is the primary route of intertrophic
Wolbachia
transmission. This conclusion held after accounting sampling bias. One example of frequent
Wolbachia
transfers is between egg parasitoid wasps,
Trichogramma
, and their lepidopteran hosts. Moreover, both bioinformatics and experimental results showed that
Wolbachia
from the parasitoid wasp
Encarsia formosa
can be transmitted to its whitefly host
Bemisia tabaci
, through unsuccessful parasitism. Once
En. formosa Wolbachia
is transferred to whiteflies, it can be vertically transmitted within whiteflies and induce fitness costs. To our knowledge, this is the first compelling evidence that
Wolbachia
can be transmitted from parasitoid wasps to their hosts, revealing the bidirectional nature of
Wolbachia
transfers between parasitoids and their hosts. Overall, our findings enrich the current understanding of the horizontal transmission of
Wolbachia
and shed new light on its ecology and evolution.

Populations can adapt to stressful environments through changes in gene expression. However, the fitness effect of gene expression in mediating stress response and adaptation remains largely unexplored. Here, we use an integrative field dataset obtained from 780 plants of
Oryza sativa
ssp
. indica
(rice) grown in a field experiment under normal or moderate salt stress conditions to examine selection and evolution of gene expression variation under salinity stress conditions. We find that salinity stress induces increased selective pressure on gene expression. Further, we show that
trans
-eQTLs rather than
cis
-eQTLs are primarily associated with rice’s gene expression under salinity stress, potentially via a few master-regulators. Importantly, and contrary to the expectations, we find that
cis
-
trans
reinforcement is more common than
cis
-
trans
compensation which may be reflective of rice diversification subsequent to domestication. We further identify genetic fixation as the likely mechanism underlying this compensation/reinforcement. Additionally, we show that
cis
- and
trans
-eQTLs are under balancing and purifying selection, respectively, giving us insights into the evolutionary dynamics of gene expression variation. By examining genomic, transcriptomic, and phenotypic variation across a rice population, we gain insights into the molecular and genetic landscape underlying adaptive salinity stress responses, which is relevant for other crops and other stresses.
Transient Neonatal Hyperparathyroidism Unfolding a Noteworthy Cause: A Series of Four Cases

Transient Neonatal Hyperparathyroidism (TNHP) is an abnormal bone disorder caused by impaired maternal-foetal calcium transport across the placenta, leading to inadequate foetal bone mineralisation. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Transient Receptor Potential Channel, Subfamily V, Member 6 (TRPV6), which is involved in maternal-to-foetal calcium transport. The TRPV6 mutation results in hypocalcaemia in the foetus, leading to skeletal deformities such as narrow chest walls, multiple rib fractures, bowing of long bones, and generalised osteopenia. Babies are usually born with respiratory distress that requires ventilatory support due to a pliable chest wall. The skeletal abnormalities closely resemble those of osteogenesis imperfecta, skeletal dysplasias and congenital rickets. All four cases described in this series presented with clinical features of undermineralisation of bone and chest wall deformities resembling congenital rickets or osteogenesis imperfecta. One case of suspected osteogenesis imperfecta was found to have a homozygous variant in the TRPV6 gene upon genetic testing. The other three cases presented with respiratory distress after birth and had homozygous variants in the same gene (TRPV6). In newborns, similar clinical presentations coupled with the presence of hyperparathyroidism should raise suspicion of TNHP. Genetic studies may reveal homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in the TRPV6 gene. There will be significant clinical improvement with treatment using oral calcium, as the intestinal transport of calcium becomes effective after birth. Early identification of this transient condition is helpful for timely management.

Orbital Lymphomas (OL) account for 1 to 2% of Non Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHLs) and 2 to 11% of all orbital tumours. The most common primary OL is low-grade marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. This is a case of primary orbital NHL mimicking an orbital pseudotumour. A 67-year-old male presented with a swollen right eye associated with lacrimation for two months. On examination, there was right eye proptosis. Thyroid, liver and renal function tests were within normal limits. Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) revealed a homogenously enhancing intraconal mass measuring 4.1×3.2×2.8 cm, with features favouring a benign aetiology. Cytosmears revealed features suggestive of inflammatory pseudotumour of the orbit. Histopathological findings suggested low-grade NHL. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed positivity for CD20, CD79a, PAX5, and Bcl2, and negativity for CD3, CD5, CD10, CD23, Bcl6, and Cyclin-D1. Hence, a final diagnosis of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma was rendered. Detailed clinical and radiological evaluations did not reveal lymphadenopathy anywhere else or any other focus of tumour, indicating the primary origin of this tumour in the orbit. Primary NHL of the orbit is rare. It can occur in the orbit without any systemic features. It must be diagnosed early and can be treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
Efficacy of Levobupivacaine versus Ropivacaine for Tonsillar Pillar Block in Patients Undergoing Tonsillectomy: A Randomised Clinical Trial
Authors: Sadanandan Vishnu , Charles Antony John , Parthasarathy Srinivasan
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Tonsillectomy, one of the most frequent otorhinolaryngologic procedures, causes considerable pain and dysphagia in the postoperative period. As previously stated, preoperative local anaesthetic infiltration contributes to the reduction of pain during and after the surgical operation, as well as the use of postoperative analgesics. The measurement of pain intensity commonly used is the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).

Aim: To compare levobupivacaine and ropivacaine for posttonsillectomy analgesia.

Materials and Methods: This hospital-based randomised double-blinded clinical trial was conducted at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry, India, between March 2023 and February 2024 on 60 American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Class I and II patients aged between 7 and 25 years undergoing elective tonsillectomy under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomly allocated to either the Levobupivacaine group (Group L, n=30) or the Ropivacaine group (Group R, n=30). Pain intensity in the postoperative period was measured at 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after surgery using the NRS. Rescue analgesia was administered if the patient’s pain rating exceeded five. All continuous variables were reported as mean and Standard Deviation (SD), while categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher’s-exact test with Yates correction, wherever necessary.

Results: The sample comprised 30 patients in each group. The mean ages of the participants were 16.86 and 17.55 years, respectively. The preoperative and intraoperative values of Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) were comparatively lower in the ropivacaine group. The difference between the groups was statistically insignificant. Pain scores were significantly lower in the Ropivacaine group compared to the Levobupivacaine group at 15 minutes (p-value=0.004), one hour (p-value <0.001), four hours (p-value=0.027), and 12 hours (p-value <0.001) postoperatively. By 24 hours, pain scores were similar. The need for rescue analgesia was lower in the ropivacaine group, suggesting that the duration of analgesia was longer in this group. There were no significant side-effects in either of the groups.

Conclusion: The results of the study showed that patients who received ropivacaine had better postoperative pain control than those who received levobupivacaine in paediatric tonsillectomy patients. Compared to the levobupivacaine group, patients administered ropivacaine experienced reduced pain intensity at different time points and utilised fewer rescue analgesics, illustrating a prolonged and superior quality of analgesia.
