Structural Violence: A Tool of Oppression in Munshi Premchand’s Nirmala
Authors: Dr. Brijesh Kumar
Published: September 2023

Munshi Premchand was a progressive writer in India during nineteenth century. His writings revolve round the social themes such as caste, class, women’s rights, poverty, superstitions, feudalism and onslaught of capitalism on the middle and lower class people. Due to his utmost attachment with the commoners, he is regarded as the Charles Dickens of India. He has written almost more than a dozen novels and three hundred short stories in Hindi and Urdu. His works; Gaban, Godan, Karmbhoomi, Sewasadan, Mantra, Namak Ka Daroga, Idgah etc. highlight his social and reformative concerns. His novel, Nirmala, which underscores the constant oppression of young girls as a result of mismatched marriages, is quite popular among readers. It weaves its plot around the exploitation of a sixteen-year-old girl named Nirmala and depicts how ill-matched marriages caused by the lack of suitable dowry bring downfall of families in general and emotionally shatter young girls in particular. The heroine of the novel is driven to her plight not out of her free choice but due to the compulsions a society imposed upon newly married young girls. The laws, norms and rules a patriarchal society creates, legitimizes and maintains for its smooth functioning become oppressive in many cases for the women and girls as they are trained to follow these norms since childhood their childhood. Violence caused by the odd and biased structures of any given society is called structural violence. Its covert form prohibits people to meet the most basic needs of their life/existence. Johan Gultung, a Norwegian sociologist, theorizes this form of violence by pointing out towards various socio-cultural norms/structures which restrict the freedom of such people who fail to fit themselves into these structures. The present research paper is a genuine endeavor to highlight those subtle and systemic ways through which the protagonist of the novel, Nirmala, is made the victim of a number of unfair socio-cultural norms.
The First ever Gujarati Translator of a Shakespearean Play – Bhanji Gokul Parekh
Authors: Dr. Anjali Ramnani
Published: September 2023

The study of translation history is crucial for understanding the choices and influences of translators, both in terms of their personal inclinations and external factors. Unfortunately, in Gujarat, the exploration of translation history has been limited to basic information such as dates, names of translations, and sometimes the names of translators. However, in the Western world, there has been a growing interest in translation history over the past three decades or so. Western scholars have embraced various theories and frameworks that emphasize the importance of investigating different facets of translation history, such as translator identity, patronage, censorship, support mechanisms, interventions, and the selection of texts. Interestingly, translation discussions often focus solely on the text itself, disregarding the translator as a cultural agent who enables the process of translation. By shedding light on the life and context of the translator, new facts and interpretations related to translation history can be discovered. One example of the association between Shakespeare’s plays and Gujarat dates to 1852 when the first adaptation of “Taming of the Shrew” was performed at St. Andrews Library in Surat. Since then, there have been numerous translations and adaptations of Shakespearean plays in Gujarat. However, very little is known about the lives and works of these translators. Bhanji Gokul Parekh is one such translator who rendered Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar into Gujarati, as Karunaras Julius Caesar Natak. Despite being the first translator of Shakespeare’s play, his contribution as a translator has been largely forgotten. Therefore, this paper aims to highlight Parekh’s significant contribution to translation history of Gujarat in the context of Shakespeare’s plays.
Social Discrimination in Bhabani Bhattacharya’s So Many Hungers
Authors: Mrs. K. Nathiya  , Dr. K. Balachandran
Published: September 2023

This article offers an in-depth analysis of suffering and social discrimination as a central theme in Bhabani Bhattacharya’s So Many Hungers. The novel portrays different types of socio-gender discrimination and his characters seem to be at war with both the self and society. India must reorient her national life on a new social basis where woman has to sacrifice her comforts in the social rebirth of India. It emphasizes the author’s nuanced portrayal of the Indian society during the tumultuous period of the Bengal Famine and the Quit India movement against the backdrop of World War II. Bhattacharya’s narrative unveils the complex layers of discrimination present within the society, accentuated by the crisis. The article commences by explicating the socio-economic disparities highlighted in the novel, examining Bhattacharya’s critique of the British colonial government and the elite Indian class. Bhattacharya astutely intertwines these inequalities with the plight of the famine victims, illuminating the juxtaposition between excessive affluence and abject poverty. The author makes a minute scrutiny of the prevailing caste system, elucidating how it perpetuates the vicious cycle of discrimination. Bhattacharya’s female characters, often victims of societal norms and expectations, expose the prevalent gender biases. However, they also emerge as symbols of resilience, defying their ordained roles in an oppressive system. The article argues that Bhattacharya uses this setting to indicate that freedom from colonial rule must accompany freedom from socio-cultural biases for India to truly progress. The study also depicts how a woman plays a role of a bridge between culture, custom and conventions. It tries to pose a testimony to the lasting relevance and power of his writing in contemporary discussions on social equity and justice. The innocent preys of hunger grab the role of hunters and try to explore the different reactions and the changed attitude for the same. This paper traces out the cause of human suffering and their possible remedies through a sensitive understanding of the problem of the contemporary Indian society.
Picturization of Women: With Reference to the Select Poems of Jayanta Mahapatra
Authors: Ms. I. M. Sheeba Alorcious  , Dr. K. Balachandran
Published: September 2023

The present research aims to explore the representation and portrayal of women in the selected poems of Jayanta Mahapatra, one of India’s most profound and prolific contemporary English poets. His compelling depictions of women often encompass and transcend the boundaries of traditional Indian cultural norms and societal structures, thus requiring a detailed, nuanced investigation. His poems deal with the alienation of women from themselves and from the society.  The atrocities that are exerted on women is explicitly exposed by the poet. They were not only termed as weaker sex by the patriarchal society but also made them as such. The poet stands by the deprived section of the society and acts as a voice of them, as the silent screaming is not heard by the world.  His works serve as a bridge between the world of man and the world of woman. The pivotal focus of this study is an examination of Mahapatra’s depiction of women, ranging from symbolizing pure innocence and tradition to epitomizing complex modern experiences and gendered identity. The research critically investigates how the poet’s use of imagery, metaphors, and symbolic language paints a vivid picture of women across his poems, thereby adding another dimension to the thematic concerns of his poetic oeuvre. Moreover, the paper scrutinizes the elements of socio-cultural context, gender constructs, and feminist perspectives within Mahapatra's poetic descriptions. Through this examination, it seeks to analyze the intertwining of the personal, social, and cultural experiences of women in the poet's picturization. The study further delves into Mahapatra's poetry’s use of nature and its metaphorical connections to femininity, while considering Indian societal realities and dynamics. Mahapatra’s depiction of women in his poetry transcends from being merely characters to profound representations of societal paradigms and discourses, reflecting the inherent challenges and conflicts that women face in a patriarchal society.
An Analysis of the Treatment of Love and Sexuality in the Poems of Kamala Das
Authors: Dr. Rituraj Trivedi
Published: September 2023

Kamala Das, a renowned Indian author and poet, has been widely acclaimed for her bold and confessional style of writing. The research article aims to explore the multidimensional portrayal of love and sexuality in her works, juxtaposing them with the social norms and cultural backdrop of postcolonial India. In fact, everything else is secondary and this subject takes center stage. In reference to Kamala Das’ poetry, the term “love” refers to both passions, which her husband and a number of other men were fully and even excessively satisfied, as well as real love, which she never experienced. Her poetry primarily expresses her dissatisfaction with love. The spectrum of her writings is laden with autobiographical elements. In her works, love is depicted not only as an emotion but also as a tool for self-discovery and liberation from the shackles of conventional society. Despite fully meeting her sexual desires, her husband never believed that a woman should expect true love from her spouse, which is why their marriage failed. There were several sexual partners for her, but none of them ever showed her true affection. Kamala Das discusses her unfulfilled love often in her poems, and she repeatedly confesses her longing for love. At this point, Kamala Das admits that love is a strong emotional connection between a man and a woman, and she also thinks that their physical relationship is significant but secondary. The sexuality of a woman is addressed by Kamala Das, who views it as a crucial component of her overall physical and psychological composition. The article further explores how Das’s portrayal of female sexuality acts as a rebellion against the traditional gender roles and societal expectations placed upon Indian women during her time. The intimate and sensual expression in her works is not only a testament to her unique voice but also reflects the underlying themes of self-assertion and search for identity. It brings to light how her exploration of female empowerment through sexual liberation was both groundbreaking and controversial within the context of Indian society. It highlights her as a trailblazer in bringing the discourse on female sexuality into the mainstream and as a proponent of women’s agency in postcolonial Indian literature. The article illuminates the enduring relevance and the multifaceted nature of Das’s writings.
Representing Dissent through Poetry: A Study of Select Poems of Maya Angelou
Authors: Sadaf  , Dr. Sahar Rahman
Published: September 2023

Literature in general and protest poetry in particular have been vocal about human condition and problems. This article examines Maya Angelou’s representation of dissent in selected poems, using the historical and socio-political context of her life as a lens. It analyses how Angelou’s work, including “Still I Rise,” “Caged Bird,” “Phenomenal Woman,” and some others, articulates resistance against racial, gender, and social inequalities. Through her powerful metaphors, repetitive phrases, and vivid imagery, Angelou defied societal norms and called for change. The study concludes by emphasizing Angelou’s enduring impact and legacy, not just in literature, but also in shaping civil rights discourse and inspiring social change. Her poetry exemplifies how art can be a potent instrument of protest. The article employs language for ‘writing back’, questioning norms, resisting atrocities and creating scope for change. Protest poetry, which is deeply embedded in American history, remains a prominent part of English literary corpus, contributing greatly to African American literature. The category of African American protest poetry is large owing to the huge expanse of time during which it has been written and also because of the great number of poets who have contributed to this form of writing. As a result, African American protest poetry is divided into three sub-categories– the first deals with protest during slavery, the second during segregation and Jim Crow Laws and the third after political obstacles to equality were presumably removed. This paper aims to deliberate on the following questions— what are the prominent themes of African American protest poetry? How have the African American poets used this genre of literature variously during different historical epochs? How are the concerns of female poets different from their male counterparts? What role has protest poetry played in political movements against inequality, social injustice, oppression, segregation etc.? The present paper aims to engage with this seemingly broad area of literature from the feminist and racial perspectives. The paper intends to deal with few important African American protest poets from foundational poets to the contemporary ones.

Authors: DİNÇER Duygu , AKBULUT KILIÇOĞLU Nur
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study was to examine the associations between positive future expectations, quiet ego, and psychological well-being among college students. It was hypothesized that there would be direct and indirect effects of positive future expectations on psychological well-being through quiet ego. The data was gathered from a sample consisting of 250 college students. Participants completed several instruments, namely, the Positive Future Expectation Scale, the Quiet Ego Scale, the Flourishing Scale, and the demographic information form. The analyses revealed that there is a significant direct effect of positive future expectations on psychological wellbeing. It was also found that there is a significant indirect effect of positive future expectations on psychological wellbeing via quiet ego. The obtained findings were discussed within the context of existing research. This study contributes to the expanding body of literature on psychological well-being by demonstrating that the quiet ego serves as a factor in explaining how positive future expectations are connected to psychological well-being.

Authors: Singh Roop , Delair Anas , Kaur Svareen , Gupta Monika
Published: September 2023

De novo Aspergillus infections of the appendicular skeleton are rare. A 72-year-old female presented with pain and deformity in her left lower limb and an inability to bear weight that had persisted for the last six months. A femur biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of extensive Aspergillus osteomyelitis, and the patient was treated with amphotericin B and oral voriconazole. The patient died of COVID-19 after 2.5 months of treatment. A diagnosis of Aspergillus osteomyelitis may be delayed because of its varied clinical presentation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known case of de novo neglected and extensive (multisite, multibone) Aspergillus osteomyelitis in an immunocompetent patient. This case highlights the importance of awareness in patients and treating physicians of this rare infection and its early diagnosis to prevent extensive spread.
Avaliação do “tempo de prateleira” de membranas de nitrocelulose imobilizadas com antígeno de Paracoccidioides brasiliensis para o imunodiagnóstico da paracoccidioidomicose

Published: September 2023

Considerando-se que o immunoblotting para o imunodiagnóstico da paracoccidioidomicose (PCM) é uma metodologia in house e laboriosa envolvendo duas etapas iniciais, SDS-PAGE e Western blot, neste estudo foi avaliado o tempo de prateleira das membranas de nitrocelulose sensibilizadas com antígeno de P. brasiliensis, armazenadas a -20 o C durante 7, 15, 30, 45, 60 e 90 dias. Vinte e oito amostras de soro foram analisadas em dois grupos de membranas de nitrocelulose (membranas previamente bloqueadas com PBS-leite 5 % e as não-bloqueadas). Não houve diferença no padrão de reatividade quando os soros foram avaliados frente a ambos os grupos, especialmente para membranas armazenadas por 7, 15, 30, 45 e 60 dias. A boa estabilidade do antígeno utilizado para sensibilizar as membranas fez com que estas pudessem ser armazenadas a -20 °C até 60 dias. Estas características contribuem para efetuar o diagnóstico rápido da PCM, bem como as perspectivas dessas membranas sensibilizadas serem encaminhadas para os laboratórios, que não possuam infraestrutura necessária para executar as etapas que antecedem a realização de immunoblotting, como a produção de antígeno, as técnicas de SDS PAGE e Western blot. Este procedimento contribui substancialmente para melhorar o diagnóstico sorológico da PCM, pois poderá fornecer resultados reprodutíveis nas unidades componentes da Rede de Laboratórios.

Authors: Soares Juliane dos Santos , Atui Márcia Bittar , Marciano Maria Aparecida Moraes , Lorini Irineu
Published: September 2023

Os programas de melhoramento genético têm desenvolvido uma grande variedade de sementes de milho, com características que conferem maior resistência às adversidades do plantio, e permitem a extensão do seu cultivo nas mais diversas condições climáticas. A análise microscópica de grãos é uma ferramenta de grande relevância na caracterização das matérias primas e modificações do amido. Levando-se em conta o fato do uso de transgênicos em alimentos ser ainda controverso, e principalmente para os consumidores, o considerável aumento de sua utilização como ingrediente em produtos alimentícios, o presente trabalho investigou a possibilidade de detectar, por meio de microscopia, a variação das características dos grãos de amido de milho transgênico em comparação com os grãos de amido de milho convencional. Os resultados indicaram diferenças entre os grãos de amido extraídos de milho convencional e naqueles extraídos de milho transgênico. O amido extraído de milho convencional, em sua maioria, caracterizou-se pela presença de grânulos de formato poliédrico, alguns ligeiramente abaulados, com hilo em formato estrelado. No amido extraído dos grãos de milho transgênico, o hilo apresentou formato linear, pontual ou ausente. Estas propriedades serão úteis para caracterizá-los nos trabalhos de pesquisa e de identificação em produtos alimentícios.

Published: September 2023

Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de contribuir com a vigilância da esquistossomose, no âmbito da Superintendência Regional de Saúde de Alfenas, MG, na mesorregião Sul/Sudoeste do estado, considerada não endêmica para a esquistossomose, ao contrário de outras áreas ao norte e nordeste do estado. Durante o ano de 2015, os escolares e migrantes de dois municípios dessa região, Arceburgo e Guaranésia, foram submetidos aos inquéritos parasitológico e sorológico. No inquérito parasitológico, nenhum caso de esquistossomose foi detectado em Arceburgo. Em Guaranésia, ovos de S. mansoni foram detectados entre os migrantes, com taxa de positividade de 13,6% (9/66), e em um único estudante. Sete membros da família, classificada como moradora de Guaranésia, mas determinada como oriunda de Timbaúba, PE quando investigada pela vigilância epidemiológica, foram também positivos para S. mansoni. No inquérito sorológico, a positividade para esquistossomose foi de 18,5% entre os migrantes de Guaranésia. Em relação às demais parasitoses, as taxas de positividade variaram de 12,5% a 32,3%. Os resultados sugerem diferenças em relação ao risco de exposição a S. mansoni e a importância da vigilância epidemiológica, mesmo em áreas não endêmicas, com foco nos migrantes, quando estes são oriundos de regiões endêmicas para esquistossomose.

Published: September 2023

The reduction of the incidence of water-borne diseases is achieved with the diffusion of the use of chlorination techniques. However, in spite of the benefits of this disinfection method, the reactions of chlorine with the natural organic matter occurring in the water induce the production of disinfection by products such as trihalomethanes. These products have already been associated with the incidence of some cancers types. Considering that in the Brazilian legislation, it is not mandatory measuring and controlling the occurrence of trihalomethanes at the exitand during the water distribution to the consumer. This study aimed at analyzing the relationship between chlorination and its by products. Thus, this project evaluated the concentrations of trihalomethanes in water collected at different points of supply in the municipality of Colombo, Paraná, Brazil, during the period from November 2015 to February 2016. Chromatographic methods were employed, besides the spreadsheets provided by the Health Surveillance of Colombo for comparison. The found values were tabulated and they were compared with the limits established by the Brazilian Ministry of Health- Ordinance No 05/2017. The results confirmed that the values of those provided by the concessionaire responsible for the city water treatment and supply, and being within the standards determined by the legislation.

Published: September 2023

A potabilidade da água de consumo em escolas públicas de Ensino Infantil do município de Araçatuba/SP foi avaliada procedendo-se à pesquisa de coliformes totais, de Escherichia coli e ao teor de nitrato em amostras coletadas, nos seguintes pontos: cavalete de distribuição da rede pública ou de poço; torneira da cozinha e bebedouro. Das 25 escolas analisadas, 12% não atenderam aos padrões de potabilidade da água perante parâmetro microbiológico; entretanto, quanto ao nível de nitrato, todas as amostras apresentaram resultados dentro do Valor Máximo Permitido pela legislação vigente. Os dados obtidos sugerem correlação positiva entre a concentração de nitrato e o NMP de coliformes totais. A presença de coliformes totais e de E. coli, especialmente em escolas da zona rural, cuja a água é proveniente de poço, aponta a necessidade da implantação de medidas de saneamento da água em escolas públicas de Educação Infantil do município de Araçatuba, SP.

Authors: KALAFATOĞLU Yaprak
Published: September 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı işyeri maneviyatına yönelik manevi geçiştirme kapsamında bir eleştiri sunmaktır. Manevileştirme ve psikolojik kaçınma boyutlarından oluşan manevi geçiştirme kavramı bireyin sorunlarıyla yüzleşmekten kaçarak manevi uygulamaların arkasına sığınması şeklinde tanımlanabilir. Çalışmada manevi geçiştirme sistematik literatür taraması ile analiz edilmiş, kişilik özellikleri gibi bireysel öncülleri ve olumsuz yaşam deneyimleri, kültür, aile gibi durumsal öncülleri olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte manevi geçiştirmenin bireysel, sosyal ve toplumsal sorunlarla ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Bağlamından koparılmış manevi uygulamaların ve bireyin diğer ihtiyaçlarını göz ardı eden bakış açısının manevi geçiştirme oluşturabileceği tahmin edilmektedir. İşyeri maneviyatını geliştirmeye yönelik uygulamaların çalışana ve örgüte fayda sağlayacak biçimde bütüncül bir yaklaşımla gerçekleştirilmesi önerilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın manevi geçiştirme konusunda ilk Türkçe araştırma olması açısından literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
AN ANALYSIS OF STOCKPILING BEHAVIOR AT THE ONSET OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: GÜLER Ali Umut
Published: September 2023

Excessive stockpiling due to panic buying during emergencies such as natural disasters and pandemics can increase pressure on supply chains and exacerbate supply shortages. This study uses household level purchase data from the United States to analyze the extent of stockpiling on dry food (rice and pasta) at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic period in March 2020. The results show significant differences in the extent and timing of stockpiling among different demographic groups. Among the elderly and low-income households, the increase in purchases is substantially smaller and occurs with a lag compared to other population groups, suggesting that these vulnerable populations may be at a particular disadvantage in accessing essential goods during a crisis. The managerial and public policy implications of this "stockpiling inequality" are discussed.

Published: September 2023

Çalışmada, farklı sulama düzeylerinin çileklerde bazı meyve ve bitki kalite parametreleri üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bitkisel materyal olarak; tat, aroma ve verim gibi parametreler açısından seçilmiş üstün özellikli genotipler (‘33’,’36’,’59’,’61’ ve ‘112’) ile ‘Rubygem’, ‘Sabrina’ ve ‘Festival’ gibi bazı önemli ticari çilek çeşitleri kullanılmıştır. İspanyol tipi yüksek tünel altında yetiştirilen bitkilere, tam (IR100) ve kısıtlı sulama (IR50) uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada meyve et sertliği, suda çözünebilir toplam kuru madde miktarı, meyve dış renk değerleri, titre edilebilir asit miktarı, pH, gövde sayısı ve eni incelenmiştir. Söz konusu kalite parametreleri etkin hasat dönemi (Mart, Nisan, Mayıs ayları) boyunca belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada sulama seviyesi, genotip ve meyve hasat zamanına göre, meyve et sertliğinin 0,48 lb/inch2 ile 2,41 lb/inch2; suda çözünebilir toplam kuru madde miktarının %5,2 ile %12,0; titre edilebilir asit miktarının %0,56 ile %1,64; gövde sayısının 3,5 adet/bitki ile 11,5 adet/bitki; gövde çapının 38,3 mm ile 83,7 mm arasında dağılım gösterdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak seçilmiş genotiplerin meyve et sertliklerinin geliştirilmesi gerektiği, kısıtlı sulama uygulamasıyla bunun kısmen sağlanabileceği görülmüştür. En yüksek meyve renk canlılığının ‘33’ kodlu, en tatlı meyvelerin ise ’36’ kodlu genotipler tarafından üretildiği dikkati çekmiştir. Sonuç olarak; çilek yetiştiriciliğinde uygun genotip seçimi yanında hasat zamanı ve sulama gibi kültürel işlemlerin meyve kalitesi üzerine çok önemli etki yaptığı açıkça ortaya konulmuştur.

Cognitive Flexibility and Perceived Social Support as Predictors of University Students' Stress Levels in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: GÜNDÜZ SOYTÜRK Merve , AKDENİZ Burak
Published: September 2023

The study aims to examine the relationship between cognitive flexibility, perceived social support and stress in the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample consisted of 319 university students, of which 68% were female and 32% were male. “Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale”, “Cognitive Flexibility Inventory”, “Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support”, and “Demographic Information Form” were used in data collection. The Pearson moment-product correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis were performed. The results of the study showed that the stress levels of the participants differ significantly according to the decrease in financial income they experienced during the pandemic. Stress level showed a negative correlation with age, perceived social support, and cognitive flexibility. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis showed that when age, the decrease in financial income, the negative impact of the pandemic on education were controlled, perceived social support and cognitive flexibility predicted stress level significantly. The study revealed that as cognitive flexibility and the perceived social support increase, the level of stress decreases. Consequently, studies on how to increase perceived social support and develop cognitive flexibility skills may contribute to eliminating the stress brought about by COVID-19 or reducing its negative effects.

Research on the External Dissemination of China’s Poverty Alleviation Discourse System from the Perspective of Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics
Authors: YU Zihan
Published: September 2023

A Comparison of Expression Theory Between Expressionism and Chinese Traditional Poetics
Authors: ZHANG Xianjun
Published: September 2023

Harmony in diversity is the basic requirement of the comparative study of Chinese and foreign poetics. Expressionism, as an important school of western literature, focuses on intuition and emphasizes performance. Their works focus on the expression of emotions, using a variety of artistic means to reflect the people’s inner activities and mental state, while ignoring the description of the form of the object, often in the form of distortion and abstraction of reality. Therefore, in the works of expressionist writers and artists, abstract, deformation, symbol, illusion and so on are presented. Chinese ancient literature also attached great importance to expression, but the view of expression in expressionism literature was obviously different from that in traditional Chinese poetics. These differences are influenced not only by the time factors, but also by the national cultural differences. Through the comparative study of the two, we can find the differences and connections of expression between Expressionism and Chinese traditional poetics and promote the further development of the expression theory in contemporary Chinese literature.

Authors: LU Chunying
Published: September 2023

With the rise of China, the world is eager to know more about China, and China also needs to go global. International communication is imperative, and translation is of indispensable importance. The Realization of the Historical Mission of Literature and Art in Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era (hereafter referred to as Historical Mission) belongs to academic political texts. This article is based on the excerpt from Chapter two “Adhere to people-centered orientation in creating art works” in this book. Academic political texts are inclined to embody formal words and intonation, well-knit logic, complex sentence structure, changeable sentence patterns, and many long sentences, which bring great challenges to the author. Chesterman’s Translation Norms can serve as a guide to solve specific translation problems, convey the intention of the author and improve the readability and accuracy of the translated text. With specific examples in view, this author chooses translation strategies from the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic levels under the guidance of Chesterman’s Translation Norms and discusses the significance of the Norms in academic political translation, hoping to provide some references for future researchers.

Authors: ZENG Fangben , ZHANG Tao , ZHANG Yu
Published: September 2023

And Heutagogy stresses the subjective initiative of the learners. From appropriateness and integration, and based on new learning theories, this paper proposes four principles for the construction of online courses, which hopes to be instructive to it.

Ph.D. students, as highly educated individuals, play a pivotal role in developing cross-cultural communication skills and gaining international awareness. Not only must they grasp basic English vocabulary and grammar, but they must also apply their knowledge in practice to enhance competitiveness in their respective fields. However, the current English courses offered at universities fall short of meeting their needs. To address this issue, this study examines the English for International Academic Communication course for non-English major Ph.D. students at C University. Employing questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and class observations, the research explores the teaching approach aimed at cultivating interdiscursive competence in high-level international talents. Additionally, it analyzes the effectiveness of interdiscursivity in English learning and investigates the enhancement of students’ interdiscursive competence. Ultimately, the study provides valuable suggestions for educational activities, better catering to the needs of Ph.D. students and preparing them to thrive in a globally interconnected world.
