Exploring Translation Strategies of Japanese Manga in Google Translate and Komikcast Translations
Authors: Yusof Badriyah , Basuni Hassanal
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the translations of ‘Golden Kamuy Vol. 1’ from Japanese to Bahasa Melayu/Bahasa Indonesia by MT system Google Translate (GT) and online fan-based translating community Komikcast. Given the linguistic and sociocultural differences between the source language (SL) and target language (TL), translating manga demands expertise and a profound understanding of the cultural nuances embedded in the SL, the specific manga genre, and the target audience. This qualitative descriptive study uses Vinay and Darbelnet’s (1958/1995) translation strategies to analyze the translations of ‘Golden Kamuy Vol. 1’ by GT and Komikcast. The study finds that both platforms employ Literal Translation, Borrowing, and Equivalence strategies, with Komikcast additionally using Modulation. GT primarily relies on literary translation, which is consistent with its algorithmic nature and reliance on translation memories. Conversely, Komikcast emphasizes the Equivalence strategy, recognizing the significance of language proficiency and the contextual and cultural insights human translators provide. Findings are discussed in relation to Nida’s equivalence effects, particularly regarding the translated text’s purpose, translators’ knowledge, and cultural differences in SL and TL. This research enhances our understanding of manga translation, as well as the strengths and limitations of machine and human translation, while contributing to the broader discussion on translation studies. While acknowledging the role and potential of machine translation, this research also reinforces the critical role of human translators in bridging linguistic and cultural gaps between Japanese and Indonesian, highlighting the need for translators to possess deep cultural insights and proficiency beyond literal translations for more authentic and contextually accurate renditions.
How Cognitive Linguistics Affect Indonesian Students’ Understanding on Learning Phrasal Verbs
Authors: Gema Febriansyah  , Syahrul Ramadhan  , Mukhaiyar
Published: January 2024

Phrasal verb is one aspect of English that is often avoided by EFL learners, including students in Indonesia. This is usually due to the method of learning phrasal verbs that tends to make it difficult for learners. Hence, this research tries to present how cognitive linguistics affects Indonesian students’ understanding of learning phrasal verbs. This research takes about 50 students of Padang State Polytechnic, Indonesia as the research subject. The students were divided into two groups: those who learned phrasal verbs with the traditional method and those with the cognitive linguistics method. Each group of students was taught by different lecturers who used cognitive linguistics and traditional methods. Then, the students were tested on their understanding of phrasal verbs. This study employed a quasi-experimental causal-comparative research design; this research revealed that learning phrasal verbs with the cognitive linguistics method is able to produce a significant understanding of students’ ability to understand phrasal verbs. The results of the test found that students who learned phrasal verbs with the cognitive linguistics method had a score of 80 in understanding the meaning of phrasal verbs and a score of 76.8 in applying phrasal verbs in English sentences. While the test results of the traditional method group showed less good results. In-depth interviews, and questionnaires from this research show that cognitive linguistics method helps students in understanding the meaning of phrasal verbs although there are weaknesses in applying phrasal verbs into English sentences. The implication of this research finding is that cognitive linguistics method can be an effective approach for teaching phrasal verbs to EFL students.
Understanding of Speech Production in Cleft Lip/Palate
Authors: Yohana Nelvi , Handoko Handoko
Published: January 2024

A cleft lip is a disorder caused by the incomplete joining of the lips or palate during fetal development. This condition can result in a variety of physical impairments, speech impairments, and even psychological impairments that can affect a person’s life. Patients with cleft lip usually suffer from dental problems, speech problems, and breathing and hearing problems. This condition can certainly lead to emotional and social problems that require attention from various parties, including surgeons, dentists, speech therapists, and psychologists, essential. Patients with cleft disorders usually have an inability to produce speech sounds due to the insufficient amount of air pressure passing through the oral cavity. The severity of the disorder depends on various factors such as the intensity of the cleft, age at the surgery, and hearing loss. Early support and treatment can greatly improve patients’ quality of life. It is necessary to conduct comprehensive research to address the different issues associated with cleft lip/palate. This involves not only healthcare professionals, such as speech-language pathologists, surgeons, orthodontists, and pediatric dentists, but also communication experts, such as linguists, to develop effective treatments and strategies. This review article discusses the relationship between clefts and speech production, as well as the factors that play a role in improving the quality of life of patients with cleft. The article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of clefts, serving as a reference for dentists, surgeons, linguists, and other professionals who work with cleft patients.

Review of The Digitally Disposed: Racial Capitalism and the Informatics of Value by Seb Franklin (University of Minnesota Press)
Authors: Glasson Hannah
Published: January 2024

The Digitally Disposed: Racial Capitalism and the Informatics of Value examines the convergence between the recursive function of value in capitalist economies and the functions of abstraction, ascription, and disposal that govern digital systems. Franklin argues that digitality’s most pernicious effects are apparent in how digital systems create the illusion of frictionlessness, connectivity, and access, while at the same time working to reinforce a logic of exclusion that externalizes the material realities of depletion. Participation in value-mediated social relations has become mandatory due to the global reach and ubiquitous extension of the informational and economic systems under which workers labor. Race and gender are social categories which position marginalized workers, especially workers from the Global South, as unreliable components in the system, the digitally disposed. Franklin argues, using the study of communication systems, that this positioning is not a flaw of the system, but is rather the intentional effect of forms of capitalist accumulation that depend on the precarity of the lives of those who generate the labor that the system depends on. A valuable contribution to the study of digitality, neoliberalism, political economy, racial capitalism, and technological history, this work shows that the social effects of digitality are not new, but rather are an intensification of the exclusions and forms of marginalization upon which capitalism depends.
Review of Art in the After-Culture: Capitalist Crisis ' Cultural Strategy by Ben Davis (Haymarket Books)
Authors: Maki Tennae
Published: January 2024

The eight essays in Ben Davis’ Art in the After-Culture are centered on the interchanges between cultural production and economic development in contemporary society. Largely told through the lens of leftist aesthetic theory, the book pushes against exploitative notions of capitalist systems and ambitions towards decentralization. Davis likens art to a “survival kit” and advocates for creative practitioners to strategically influence the direction of society.
The Captive New Afrikan Nation, the Politics of Solidarity, and the Ongoing Struggle for Liberation
Authors: Onaci Edward
Published: January 2024

In 1968, the world was changing. New nation-states were forming as former colonies revised relationships between Africa, Asia, and the “West.” Some fought hard for their liberation, and some were still fighting. From Vietnam to Zimbabwe, bloody struggles against racist settlers and western capital clarified the tenacity of white supremacy and imperialism. Other nations were “peacefully” exchanging white political leadership for parties and personalities rooted in local soil. All excited the US Black left who welcomed the changes as the ideal condition for Black liberation. Among them were activists who, beginning in March 1968, decided to pursue the creation of an independent Black nation-state that would occupy land in the Deep South. Considering Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia as the rightful territory of their Republic of New Afrika, those who championed independence sought to replicate the apparent successes of Tanzania and other newly formed states, while contributing to the complete overthrow of western hegemony. This contribution explores the theory of the New Afrikan struggle for land and independence. It considers how New Afrikans negotiated their African ancestry and colonized status with their distinctly North American position within geopolitics. In asserting their right to self-determination, New Afrikans complicated the meanings of captivity and Third World solidarity in ways unique to the Black Power era. Even as they built on their predecessors from the African Blood Brotherhood, UNIA, and even the CPUSA, New Afrikans helped to frame their era’s political ideas in a manner that continues to guide projects of international liberation and solidarity.
Compressive median neuropathy caused by brachial artery pseudoaneurysm
Authors: Attaluri Pradeep , Elmaraghi Shady , Casaretto Claudia Vilela , Gander Brian , Morgan Courtney , Hanna Amgad
Published: January 2024

Background:

Brachial artery pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) are a rare complication of trauma and medical intervention, estimated to constitute 0.3–0.7% of all PSAs. Although neurologic symptoms are common in patients undergoing hemodialysis, direct nerve compression by large PSAs is rare.

Case Description:

We report a case of median nerve compression by a brachial artery PSA treated by PSA resection and distal nerve transfer of the extensor carpi radialis brevis nerve to the anterior interosseous nerve.

Conclusion:

This case illustrates the successful use of distal nerve transfers for the treatment of median neuropathy secondary to brachial PSA. In addition, this case highlights the importance of imaging before any exploratory nerve surgery in the setting of a mass and/or prior vascular procedure. Embarking on a nerve release/ repair surgery in the absence of a vascular surgeon would be disastrous.

Authors: Lelyta Dewi Candra  , Agung Abdullah
Published: January 2024

Investasi dengan cryptocurrency merupakan hal yang baru bagi sebagian masyarakat Indonesia, tidak jarang  para investor crypto terjebak pada perilaku judi (maysir) dan spekulasi (gharar). Dewan Syariah Nasional Majlis Ulama Indonesia telah mengeluarkan fatwa haramnya transaksi dan investasi dengan cryptocurrency. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency terpengaruh oleh pengetahuan investasi, persepsi resiko dan literasi keuangan syariah. Data dihasilkan dari penyebaran kuisioner, hingga mendapat 100 responden baik pengguna maupun non pengguna crypto. Pengolahan data memanfaatkan SPSS versi 25 dan memakai analisis regresi linear berganda. Hasil uji hipotesis pengetahuan investasi (X1) pengguna maupun non pengguna crypto membuktikan tidak berpengaruh terhadap minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency (0,985 dan 0,235  > 0,05). Pengujian persepsi resiko (X2) pengguna crypto terdapat pengaruh positif (0,038 < 0,05) sedangkan non pengguna membuktikan ada pengaruh terhadap minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency (4,070 > 0,05). Pengujian literasi keuangan syariah (X3) pengguna maupun non pengguna crypto membuktikan berpengaruh terhadap minat investasi dengan cryptocurrency (0,001 dan 0,016 < 0,05).  artinya literasi keuangan syariah khususnya fatwa yang menyatakan cryptocurrency adalah haram dapat memberikan informasi yang berguna bagi calon investor/investor tentang bahaya, tingginya resiko dan mudharat yang ditimbulkan.

THE POSSIBILITIES OF A CHILDREN’S TECHNOPARK FOR THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PLANTS AS INTEGRAL ORGANISMS
Authors: Kemesheva Alexandra A.
Published: January 2024

The article notes that due to certain reasons, unfortunately, there is not enough time for full-fledged biological training of students within the framework of formal education. In this regard, it is proposed to use the reserves of non-formal education, one of whose exponents is additional education on the basis of a children’s technopark. It is also implemented in the biological section at the site of the natural science laboratory. Due to its modern equipment, it becomes possible for students to form theoretical knowledge about plants as integral organisms, as well as practical skills in cultivating plants taking into account environmental factors. It is better to organise this process in two directions – anatomic-morphological and ecological ones. The first direction can be realised in the zones for studying the external organisation of a plant organism, as well as the internal processes occurring in it. The second direction can be implemented through organising students’ observations of the state of a plant organism under the influence of environmental factors.

THE DEFINING PRINCIPLES OF RUSSIAN STATEHOOD (based on I. A. Ilyin’s articles of 1947–1948)
Authors: Romanenko Inna B.
Published: January 2024

In the article, based on the analysis of the post-war works of the Russian philosopher I. A. Ilyin, Russia is considered as a “single living organism of nature and spirit”, which should have a state organisation taking into account the historical features of existence on this vast territory in terms of geographical, economic, cultural and spiritual aspects. The author of the article draws attention to the programmatic nature of these publications and their appeal to the future young generations, the desire to equip them with an understanding of what is important for their development and the future prosperity of Russia. The author also takes into account the peculiarity of the concept of Heartland (middle lands), which was introduced into circulation by H. Mackinder and became widespread in the 20th century, and the theoretical importance of this concept for the geopolitics of this entire period (“who rules the Heartland will rule the whole world”).

Published: January 2024

В последние десятилетия на Марсе были обнаружены свежие места падения космических тел метровых размеров. Примерно половина этих космических объектов разрушается в разреженной атмосфере Марса и приводит к образованию кратерных полей рассеяния (кластеров). Расширенный каталог мест падения космических тел включает данные о 1438 недавних датированных местах падения, образованных между 2007 и 2021 гг. В работе рассматривается большая часть расширенного каталога недавних датированных мест падения космических тел, для которой доступны данные о размере и расположении кратеров в кластерах. Данные расширенного каталога дали возможность оценить показатель степени в дифференциальном и кумулятивном инкрементальном распределении как 2.7 и 2.2. Полученная оценка степени в кумулятивном распределении ниже, чем предполагается в большинстве работ, но близка к оценкам, полученным по нерасширенному каталогу. Было предложено разделить места падения метеороидов на Марсе на 3 типа: первый - доминирующий главный кратер, второй - 2 наибольших кратера сравнимы и третий - 3 или более сравнимых наибольших кратера, все дополнены (или нет) значительно более мелкими кратерами. Мы предполагаем, что выделенные группы могут соответствовать различным типам ударников и (или) различным типам разрушения метеороида в атмосфере.

In recent decades, fresh impacts of meter-scaled cosmic bodies were discovered on Mars. Approximately half of these objects are destroyed in the rarefied atmosphere of Mars and their impacts lead to the formation of crater clusters (crater scattering fields). The expanded impact site catalog includes data on 1438 recent dated impact sites formed between 2007 and 2021. This paper considers a large part of the expanded catalog, for which data on the size and location of craters in clusters are available. Expanded catalog data provided an opportunity to estimate the exponent in the differential and cumulative incremental distribution as 2.7 and 2.2. The obtained estimate of the cumulative distribution exponent is lower than suggested in most studies, but it is close to the estimates obtained from the non-expanded catalog. In order to classify crater clusters, it was proposed to group them into 3 types: the first has a dominant main crater, the second collects 2 largest comparable craters, and the third has 3 or more comparable largest craters, in all cases largest craters may be supplemented (or not) by significantly smaller craters. We are assuming that the identified groups may correspond to different types of impactors and (or) different types of meteoroiddestruction in the atmosphere.

CARBON FIBER PRODUCTION FROM LIGNIN: A PRECURSOR OF FUTURE
Authors: Chaudhari Nishant
Published: January 2024

Carbon fibers have recently attracted tremendous attention, and many industries have adopted them. However, high manufacturing costs and complex processes still limit their widespread use in large-scale applications. The cost of current precursors, namely PAN and Pitch, alone accounts for more than half of the total cost of carbon fiber manufacturing. Therefore, a new, cost-efficient, renewable, and abundantly available precursor should be investigated to overcome these challenges. Lignin serves all these purposes and is a promising substitute for convectional precursors. It can be processed using melt spinning, solution spinning, or electrospinning. This paper reviews the published research on lignin structure, the production of lignin precursor fibers, their conversion into carbon fibers, and future directions.
Electrochemical detection of glutamate and histamine using redox-labeled stimuli-responsive polymer as a synthetic target receptor
Authors: Ahmadian Alam Leila , Andrade Arturo , Song Edward
Published: January 2024

Glutamate (Glu) and histamine (His) are two major neurotransmitters that play many critical roles in brain physiological functions and neurological disorders. Therefore, specific and sensitive monitoring of Glu and His is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of various mental health and neurodegenerative disorders. Both being non-electroactive species, direct electrochemical detection of Glu and His has been challenging. Herein, we report a stimuli-responsive polymer-based biosensor for the electrochemical detection of Glu and His. The polymer-based target receptors consist of a linear chain stimuli-responsive templated polymer hybrid that is labeled with an osmium-based redox-active reporter molecules to elicit conformation-dependent electrochemical responses. The polymers are then attached to a gold electrode to implement an electrochemical sensor. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) results confirmed the polymers’ conformational changes due to the specific target (i.e., Glu and His) recognition and the corresponding electrochemical detection capabilities. The voltammetry results indicate that this biosensor can be used as a ‘signal-on’ and ‘signal-off’ sensors for the detection of Glu and His concentrations, respectively. The developed biosensor also showed excellent regeneration capability by fully recovering the initial current signal after rinsing with deionized water. To further validate the polymer’s utility as a target bioreceptor, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique was used to characterize the binding affinity between the designed polymers and the target chemical. The SPR results exhibited the equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of 2.40 µM and 1.54 µM for the polymer-Glu and polymer-His interactions, respectively. The results obtained this work strongly suggest that the proposed sensing technology could potentially be used as a platform for monitoring non-electroactive neurochemicals from animal models.
Scalable and low-energy decoupled electrochemical CO2 capture

Published: January 2024

Electrochemical CO2 capture with renewable electricity provides a promising avenue for efficient decarbonization but faces challenges by instability, discontinuity, high energy consumption, and difficulties in scale-up. Here, we first propose a scalable electrochemical CO2 capture strategy by separating the traditional single electrochemical redox reaction process into a stepwise electrochemical-chemical redox reaction process. Hydrogen evolution reaction and redox carrier oxidation reaction swings the pH of electrolyte at the cathode and anode to capture CO2 efficiently which avoids side effects through decoupling of electrochemical-swing for CO2 capture and redox carrier regeneration in different times and spatial domains. We demonstrate a stable electrochemical CO2 capture process over 200 hours with low energy consumption (49.15 kJ mol-1 CO2 at 10 mA cm-2). Furthermore, the system is tunable and modular. Molecular design can be used to tailor the potential and allow scalability across various process sizes, making it a promising strategy for large-scale decarbonization.
Consistent analytical second derivatives of the Kohn–Sham DFT energy in the framework of the Conductor-like screening Model (COSMO) through Gaussian charge distributions
Authors: Pausch Ansgar
Published: January 2024

The use of implicit solvation models such as the conductor-like screening model (COSMO) in quantum chemical calculations is very common, both as a rough estimate of solvation effects as well as a general tool for stabilizing ionic molecular structures. In order to generate a smooth potential energy surface as well as consistent gradients, it is necessary to apply the Gaussian charge model (GCM) for COSMO charges. This work introduces an efficient implementation for consis- tent analytical second derivatives of the electronic energy with COSMO-GCM in the framework of Kohn–Sham density functional theory. This is used to investigate infrared spectroscopy of amino acids in aqueous solution, where the impact of pH on the molecular structure and vibrational spec- tra is examined.

E-agriculture, the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in agriculture, is transforming the sector, enhancing sustainability, and driving socioeconomic progress. It encompasses a wide range of digital technologies, data analytics, mobile applications, and internet connectivity to optimize farming practices, create digital marketplaces, streamline supply chains, empower farmers, and promote sustainable agriculture. Precision farming, a vital aspect of e-agriculture, leverages data-driven insights to optimize fertilizer application, irrigation, and pest control, leading to increased productivity while minimizing resource usage. E-agriculture has also facilitated the creation of digital marketplaces, providing farmers with efficient platforms to connect with consumers and agribusinesses. Additionally, e-agriculture empowers farmers, particularly smallholders, by providing them with crucial information, financial services, and market access, strengthening their livelihoods and boosting rural development. However, the widespread adoption of e-agriculture is hindered by challenges such as limited digital infrastructure in rural areas and a lack of digital literacy among farmers. Overcoming these obstacles necessitates collaborative efforts among governments, the private sector, and international organizations to invest in digital infrastructure and provide training. Looking ahead, the trajectory of agriculture is irrevocably linked with e-agriculture. Continued advancements in technology will make e-agriculture is increasingly accessible, contributing to a sustainable and prosperous future for the global agricultural landscape. It is imperative for all stakeholders to unite and harness the potential of e-agriculture to ensure sustainable agricultural development and socio-economic advancement.
