Antidiabetic drugs as the future of obesity treatment
Authors: Kuzio Agnieszka , Cieplińska Aleksandra , Ziojła-Lisowska Kinga
Published: July 2024

Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease with complex pathogenesis. Its causes are considered to be genetic, biological, epigenetic, environmental, developmental and behavioral factors leading to excessive caloric intake and, consequently, weight gain. As body weight increases, the risk of developing many chronic diseases increases and, as a result, life expectancy decreases. The basis of obesity treatment is the introduction of changes in behavior and lifestyle modification, based primarily on the adoption of a healthy, balanced diet with a caloric deficit, regular physical activity and limiting sedentary time. If they are ineffective, pharmacological methods are considered and, if necessary, surgical procedures are performed. Nowadays, more and more attention is paid to obesity as a multifactorial disease that must be effectively treated. It is not only an aesthetic problem but also a serious disease that can lead to premature death. Our work focuses on a review of current methods in the treatment of obesity, with particular attention to the latest pharmacological methods.

Authors: Kłusek Magdalena , Chawrylak Katarzyna , Kuszneruk Julia , Kubas Maria , Krzemińska Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

Introduction and purposes:
Severe injuries are a documented consequence of horse riding accidents. This study aims to explore the prevalence of spine injuries associated with horse riding, identify the most common types of injuries, examine mechanistic underpinnings, analyze typological manifestations, assess implicated spinal regions, investigate demographic risk factors, and examine ensuing neurological sequelae and back pain.
 
Materials and Methods:
A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar. The search employed terms such as 'horse riding,' 'injuries,' 'spine,' 'vertebral,' 'horse-related,' 'equestrian injuries,' 'spinal fractures,' and 'back injuries.' Articles published between 2014 and 2024 were included in the search.
 
Results:
The primary injury mechanism for horse riders is falling from a moving horse. Studies present conflicting findings on which parts of the spine are most commonly injured. Equestrian activities contribute significantly to sports-related spinal injuries, with spinal injuries ranking as the second most affected body region after head injuries among equestrians. Experienced riders tend to have fewer injuries compared to amateurs. Spine fractures are more prevalent in riders aged over 40 years, and a substantial majority (over 80%) of riders have experienced back pain at some point in their lives.
 
Conclusion:
In summary, horseback riding poses a substantial risk of spine injuries or pain. A thorough understanding of horse-related spine injury epidemiology is crucial for specific subgroups, enabling the development of preventive strategies across all levels of responsibility.
Adding Insult to Injury
Authors: Feller Danielle
Published: July 2024

In the Mahābhārata (MBh), whipping is mainly resorted to by charioteers while driving their horses and the terms designating whips are therefore frequently found in the war-books. Used metaphorically, the expression “whip-like words” designates cutting, hurtful speech. Excessive whipping of draught-animals is considered cruel and is seen as a sign of low birth. When humans are whipped, this is regarded as particularly insulting, since such treatment is usually reserved for animals, but the outcome for the offenders is unequal: kings who whip brahmins are swiftly punished and cursed, whereas brahmins who flog kings get away with it scot-free. Such tales are most frequently found in the MBh’s Anuśāsanaparvan, where they serve to underscore the brahmins’ superiority.
Estrategias de lucha del movimiento de derechos humanos frente al avance de las nuevas derechas en Argentina (2015-2019)
Authors: Jean Jean Melina
Published: July 2024

El periodo de Gobierno nacional de la Alianza Cambiemos (2015-2019) significó la apertura de un nuevo escenario en Argentina en el que las políticas de derechos humanos y la hegemonía de las memorias, que condenan el terrorismo de Estado de la década del setenta y la última dictadura, fueron impugnadas. Este artículo se pregunta por las acciones que el movimiento por los derechos humanos desarrolló, como parte de su estrategia de confrontación con el Estado. Para ello —desde una metodología de corte cualitativo y la aproximación analítica del estudio de un corpus de casos, de escala nacional y regional— se indaga las intervenciones que diversos activistas de este agente colectivo llevaron a cabo en el espacio público. La investigación evidencia que, ante el renovado desafío, las acciones del movimiento se fortalecieron y se cargaron de nuevos sentidos que obedecían a los intentos por defender, disputar y preservar un pasado reconocido como legado y que se sostiene, aún, en el deber moral de su memoria, considerándolo como un acuerdo irrenunciable. Así, se espera contribuir al estudio de los comportamientos de los actores sociales que, abanderados colectivamente de la lucha contra el avance de las nuevas derechas, batallan los usos e interpretaciones del pasado reciente, que estas despliegan con gran protagonismo en su agenda política.

The Americanized Journey of Chinese Immigrants: The Media Representation of Chinese Immigrants in Disney’s Elemental (2023)
Authors: Pascarina Patrisia Amanda , Hartanto Louisa Christine , Esther Jennifer
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the portrayal of Chinese immigrants in the animated film “Elemental,” using Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework to dissect the film’s narrative and thematic elements. “Elemental” serves as a modern allegory, reflecting the historical and ongoing struggles of Chinese immigrants in the United States, blending elements of cultural identity and adaptation within a fantastical setting. The film juxtaposes the fire element of immigrants with the traditional Chinese immigrant experience, examining themes of cultural integration, systemic discrimination, and the influence of media representation on public perceptions. Through denotative and connotative analyses, the research identifies how the film uses visual and verbal cues to construct a narrative that both challenges and perpetuates long-standing myths and stereotypes about Chinese immigrants. This study not only highlights the specific cinematic portrayal of Chinese immigrants but also discusses broader societal implications, including the impact of “Yellow Peril” propaganda and the role of media in shaping immigration policy discourse. The findings suggest that while “Elemental” contributes to a richer dialogue on cultural diversity, it also reveals the enduring complexities and challenges faced by Chinese immigrants in seeking acceptance and identity in a multicultural society.

Authors: Triantoro Dony Arung , Pramana M. Agung
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the diverse motivations and impacts of Instagram filter usage among young Indonesians, focusing on how these digital tools influence selfrepresentation and social interaction within the digital sphere. While Instagram filters are traditionally viewed as aesthetic enhancements, this research highlights their broader roles, including entertainment, education, and personal branding. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this paper collects data through interviews and netnography, employing snowball sampling to gather in-depth insights from eight young Instagram users. Findings indicate that young people use filters not only for visual enhancement but also for fun, educational engagement, and the expression of personal traits like humor and intelligence. This usage underscores young people's agency as active consumers, manipulating digital tools to craft their public personas and navigate social media spaces. This study underscores the need for further quantitative research to explore the widespread patterns of filter consumption among youth, aiming to enrich the understanding of digital identity formation in a globalized context.

Authors: Hartanto Wiwin , Mu’alimah Silvi , Sukarniati Lestari
Published: July 2024

This research discusses the consumption patterns of corn farming households in Indonesia which are influenced by economic and social factors. This study aims to examine consumption expenditure based on income, number of family members, education, age, and differences in place of residence. The research method used was quantitative with multiple linear regression statistical analysis, using primary data from 86 corn farming households. The research results show that income is the biggest factor influencing household consumption of corn farmers. Factors such as income, number of family members and education of the head of the family have a positive and significant effect on consumption patterns. Although age does not have a significant effect, this research provides important insights into the consumption behaviour of corn farmers in Indonesia, including the importance of wise consumption expenditure management to improve the welfare of farming households. These findings show that income, education, and family size play a key role in shaping consumption habits. This study also highlights how economic factors influence people's consumption patterns in various communities, both farmers and urban residents, and the importance of understanding these factors in planning policies that support the welfare of society as a whole. The contribution of this research is expected to bridge the results of previous studies with policy development, emphasizing the need for targeted programs considering income, family size, education, and residence location to improve the welfare of corn farming households in Indonesia.

Dengue virus (DENV) constitutes a formidable public health threat within tropical and subtropical regions. The escalation of cases in Southeast Asia, notably Indonesia, is a matter of considerable concern. Timely identification of DENV infection remains imperative for efficient disease management. The non-structural protein-1 (NS1), distinguished by its heightened immunogenicity and early detectability during infection, stands as a pivotal target for diagnostic modalities. The current investigation delves into the exploration of B-cell epitopes within Indonesian DENV NS1 protein isolates, with the overarching objective of enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of early detection systems, such as the Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT). This study has successfully delineated five B-cell epitopes that exhibit conservation across DENV serotypes within Indonesian isolates (accessions number: QBB90021.1, QBE90252.1, QBB90023.1, and UDW38833.1). These epitopes were discerned through comprehensive screening leveraging the IEDB platforms. Noteworthy variations in antigenicity, allergenicity, and toxicity profiles were observed among these identified epitopes. Molecular docking analysis substantiated a robust binding affinity between the predicted epitope and the B-cell receptor. The ensuing in silico protein-peptide docking analyses offer valuable insights into potential B-cell epitopes on the Indonesian DENV NS1 protein. The identified epitopes, particularly the SQHNYRPGY epitope characterized by its antigenic potency and non-allergenic attributes, hold promise for advancing the development of sensitive and specific RDTs tailored for DENV detection in the Indonesian context. However, it is imperative to underscore the requisite for subsequent experimental validation to affirm the efficacy of these epitopes in diagnostic applications.

BACKGROUND Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is uncontrollable urine leakage when intra-abdominal pressure increases. Behavioral therapy with Kegel exercise is currently the best conservative management recommendation for treating SUI patients. This study aimed to investigate the success of supervised Kegel exercises using the Kegel exercises guidebook in women with SUI.
METHODS This quasi-experimental study involved both groups being taught the same regiment of Kegel exercises, but the intervention group was given the Kegel exercises guidebook. After 12 weeks, the compliance, subjective, and objective success rates were evaluated through the patient’s notes, Urinary Distress Inventory-6, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7, perineometer, and pad test.
RESULTS Patients with a higher level of education had lower compliance to Kegel exercises (p = 0.01; odds ratio [OR] 0.38; 0.18–0.79). No significant difference was observed in the subjective symptom improvement between the two groups. The intervention group had a significantly higher success rate based on objective success by analyzing the 1-hour pad test results. The intervention group was also more adherent (p<0.001; OR 4.78; 2.51–9.0).
CONCLUSIONS Patients who received the Kegel exercises guidebook were more compliant and more objectively successful than those who did not receive the manuals.
Enacting National Trauma on the Female Body in Aubigné's Misères : An Epic Motif
Authors: Appleby Jessica
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The French Wars of Religion in the sixteenth century coincided with a literary desire to validate French cultural dominance through poetry. As part of this goal, a traditional epic would establish a Virgil for France and a heroic story to equal Rome's. Though the civil wars prevented the composition of such an epic, they opened the path for Agrippa d'Aubigné's Les Tragiques , an epic account of the Wars themselves. As a Protestant poet on the losing side of national conflict, Aubigné rests upon epic traditions while using them to garner support for his faction and to blame Catholic leadership vehemently for the national crisis. This article examines the epic tradition (seen in Helen, Dido, Bramimonde, and others) by which national trauma and epic conflict are enacted upon female bodies. Aubigné uses this epic motif to specific rhetorical ends: gaining sympathy for the Protestant cause and lamenting Catholic oppression. He adapts the epic tradition to emphasize mothering bodies (pregnant or nursing) to heighten the horror of the war and win the audience to the poet's side. This adaptation of epic tradition takes two forms: the anthropomorphization of France herself and the presentation of victims of civil war. The Misères of the nation, lamented in the poem's first book, resonate in female reproductive bodies to universalize the trauma, thereby aligning the reader with Aubigné's outrage and grief. Though female embodiment of national trauma is traditional to epic, Les Tragiques finds a new angle that serves its rhetorical goals.
Novel Clues about Marie Jeanne Riccoboni's Childhood: Newly Uncovered Lettres de Cachet Reveal Maternal Dérèglement de Mœurs
Authors: Kaplan Marijn S.
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Marie Jeanne Riccoboni (1713-1792), one of the foremost proto-feminist women writers of Enlightenment France, has offered conflicting and enigmatic information about her childhood. While her desire for privacy regarding her own biography can be understood and respected, when (new) personal details elucidate her published oeuvre, both her fiction and her correspondence, they hold a particular fascination for readers and scholars alike. This essay will shed light on a notoriously blank page of Riccoboni's life, her childhood, through two newly uncovered lettres de cachet pertaining to her mother Marie Marguerite Dujac and her grandfather Jean Baptiste Dujac. An analysis of these documentsas lettres de cachet through the lens of royal and paternal authority as well as female agency, will provide new context for Riccoboni's biography regarding her relationship with her mother and her childhood, as well as offer important clues for some essential elements of her fiction, including her proto-feminism.
Albert Béguin's Reception of German Romanticism in L'Âme romantique et le rêve (1937) and French Ontological Film Theory (1940s-1950s)
Authors: Pletinck Karel
Published: July 2024

Abstract: In the late 1930s, literary critic Albert Béguin traced the poetics of Symbolism and Surrealism back to German Romanticism, in his influential doctoral dissertation L'Âme romantique et le rêve. Essai sur le romantisme allemand et la poésie française (1937). The understanding of poetry as a genuine means to acquire knowledge, as developed by the German Romantics, proved extremely influential in French poetics from the 19th century onwards. The central thread of this approach is its 'revelationism', i.e. the idea that the artwork does not merely copy exterior reality, but reveals its hidden sense. Due to the popularity of Béguin's work, and because of certain biographical details, it is interesting to examine the influence his doctoral dissertation had on French 1940s-1950s ontological film theory. The way in which, most eminently, the film critic André Bazin, yet also the filmmaker Robert Bresson, understood cinema has much in common with the revelationist poetics of German Romanticism. Furthermore, Béguin's review of Bresson's Journal d'un curé de campagne (1951) established an influential 'symbolist' reading of the filmmaker's oeuvre. This reading was not only adopted by Bazin, but seems to have left its mark on Bresson, too. The scope of this transfer can be better grasped by situating this movement within the legacy of German Romanticism.
Pièces de résistance: The Dramas of Resistance and Torture in the Work of Jorge Semprún
Authors: Reid Donald
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Contemporary Western society has taken its ideas and representations of resistance from the French resistance in World War II. But these are more often evoked than elucidated. Participation in the resistance in France and at Buchenwald and in the Communist underground in Franco's Spain shaped Jorge Semprún. Analysis of what he took from these experiences is revealing. Semprún began with resistance as an existential choice that challenged individuals' identities, a question he explored in the resistance of Jews and, in his case, of a bourgeois man of letters in the making. Semprún came to see that to resist meant to join with others, to put one's life in their hands and to take responsibility for their lives. This is why the torture of resisters to make them reveal information about others is so central to his thought on resistance. When Semprún left the Communist party, he developed his ideas on torture and resistance. After the war, the Communists tortured some of his Communist concentration camp comrades, not to obtain information, but to get those being tortured to learn what they wanted them to recite in show trials. Semprún came to feel that as a former Communist, he developed a resistance to references to the fraternity at the heart of resistance when they were was used as an element of control by the Communist party. He wrote in an effort to spread that immunity.

Timely diagnosis and management of diabetes and hypertension among people living with HIV (PLWH) is imperative; however, many barriers exist within the current model of care for these comorbidities. We aimed to understand how HIV, diabetes, and hypertension care should be delivered and the associated barriers and facilitators for the preferred delivery approach. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 PLWH with comorbidities of diabetes and/or hypertension (referred to hereafter as non-communicable diseases [NCDs]), 10 healthcare professionals (HCPs) that provide care for NCDs, and 10 HCPs that provide care for HIV. Participants were recruited from two healthcare facilities in Dodoma, Tanzania and interviewed in Swahili. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and translated into English. We used the differentiated service delivery building blocks as a framework to determine where, who, what and when care should be provided. We applied the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to HCP transcripts to determine barriers and facilitators for the preferred integration approach. There was a consensus among participants that all care for NCDs should be provided for PLWH at HIV clinics (known as care and treatment centres [CTCs]) by either CTC doctors or NCD specialists. Participants preferred flexible follow-up care for NCDs and for it to be aligned with HIV follow-up appointments. The main barriers were mapped to the TDF domains of environmental context and resources, and social influences; the former included the lack of NCD medications, NCD diagnostic equipment, space, staff and guidelines whereas the latter included negative influences from peers and traditional healers. Several facilitators were mentioned regarding CTC HCPs’ knowledge, skills, optimism and beliefs regarding their capabilities to care for PLWH with NCDs. The preferred integration approach should be tested, utilising the enabling factors described. The barriers described must be addressed with or without integration to achieve optimal care for PLWH with NCDs.
Species-specific responses drive browsing impacts on physiological and functional traits in Quercus agrifolia and Umbellularia californica
Authors: Leonard Hugh E. , Ciambrone Mary , Pittermann Jarmila
Published: July 2024

Herbivory is a fundamental ecological force in the evolution of plant physiological, morphological, and chemical attributes. In this study, we explored how browsing pressure by local deer populations affected leaf form and function in two California native tree species, Quercus agrifolia (coast live oak) and Umbellularia californica (California bay laurel). Specifically, we investigated how leaf and stem vascular attributes differed between browsed and non-browsed zones of each species. Browsing significantly altered traits such as leaf to phloem ratios and leaf area, but we observed few meaningful differences in leaf and stem anatomy between browsed and non-browsed material. We discuss these results in the context of leaf and stem adaptations to herbivory and water use efficiency and explore future research considerations for investigating leaf and stem vascular trait development with herbivore presence.

Background

Undernutrition has deleterious consequences to both the mother and the unborn child, significantly contributing to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. We assessed dietary diversity, the prevalence, and predictors of undernutrition among pregnant adolescents and young women (PAYW) attending antenatal clinic (ANC) at two large teaching hospitals in northern Uganda.

Methods

Between 12th June 2023 to 27th October 2023, we conducted a facility-based, cross-sectional study at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital (GRRH) and St Mary’s Hospital Lacor (SMHL), both in Gulu district, Uganda. We recruited PAYW aged 15–24 years attending ANCs. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study participants were collected using a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire. Undernutrition was defined as a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of < 23 cm. Modified Poisson regression analysis was performed to determine factors independently associated with undernutrition. Data analyses was performed using STATA version 17.0. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

A total of 324 participants, with a mean age of 21.2±2.2 years were enrolled. About 62.0% (n = 201) of the participants dewormed during pregnancy. The prevalence of undernutrition was 12.7% [n = 41]. Prevalence was higher among participants who maintained pre-pregnancy diet (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 2.27, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.26–4.05, p = 0.006), those who did not receive nutritional education (aPR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.21–4.20, p = 0.011) and consumption of non-green leafy vegetables (aPR = 4.62 95% CI: 1.64–13.01, p = 0.004). The prevalence of undernutrition was lower among participants who consumed milk and milk products (aPR = 0.44 95% CI: 0.24–0.81, p = 0.009) and among those who consumed fish and seafood compared to those who did not (aPR = 0.45 95% CI: 0.20–1.00, p = 0.050).

Conclusions

About 1 in 8 of PAYW attending GRRH or SMHL had undernutrition, particularly those who lacked education about feeding habits during pregnancy and limited access to milk and milk products, fish and seafoods. We recommend health workers to offer timely education of pregnant adolescent and young women mothers about good feeding habits during pregnancy, appropriate monitoring of weight gain and physiological changes during pregnancy.

Published: July 2024

This current study aims to investigate the negative relationship between husband’s support, adversity quotient,and anxiety of third-trimester primigravida pregnant mothers. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional study design was employed. A total of 103 primigravida third-trimester mothers (Mean age = 27.02) who received prenatal care at the Sidoarjo health center was participated in this study. Data were collected using the Husband’s Support Scale (51 items, α = .96), the Adversity Quotient Scale (39 items, α = .93), and the Anxiety Scale of the Pregnant Mother (49 items, α = .92). Data analysis was conducted using the Multiple Linear Regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 24 for Windows. The results indicate negative relationships between husband’s support (r =-.581, p <.001) and adversity quotient (r = -.612, p <.001) with anxiety. The husband’s support and adversity quotient are together explaining 37.9% variances of anxiety in primigravida third-trimester mothers (Adj. R2 = .379; F(32, 100) = 32.07, p < .001). This research implies the importance of husband support for pregnant mothers and the need for mothers to develop adequate adversity quotient to manage pregnancy related anxiety.
Anti-fungal efficacy of Carvacrol against Candida glabrata clinical isolates of vulvovaginal candidiasis

Published: July 2024

Fungal infections affect over 1 billion people worldwide each year, including superficial infections like athlete's foot and more severe systemic infections. Fungal diseases are responsible for an estimated 1.5 million deaths annually, a figure comparable to or exceeding the mortality rate of diseases like malaria or tuberculosis. The limited arsenal of available antifungal drugs, coupled with the emergence of drug-resistant fungal strains, has increased this concern. Therefore, there is a significant need to explore alternative therapeutics to overcome fungal pathogens. Carvacrol, phenolic monoterpenoids, is present in essential oils of many plants and is known for its biological and pharmacological properties. In the present study, the efficacy of carvacrol was investigated against four Candida glabrata strains isolated from patients of vulvovaginal candidiasis, which have shown varying extents of susceptibility against fluconazole. Carvacrol, a phytoactive monoterpene phenol, has shown a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC50) ranging from 75 to 125 µg/mL and minimum fungicidal concentration of 150 and 175 µg/mL for all clinical isolates, including wild-type strains. Carvacrol, in combination with fluconazole, has shown a strong synergism against wild type C. glabrata with a FIC index value of 0.156. Preliminary mechanistic investigations unveiled that exposure to carvacrol significantly reduced cell surface hydrophobicity and ergosterol content in all strains. In conclusion, carvacrol holds promising potential as an effective antifungal agent against C. glabrata, which is categorized as high priority in the first fungal pathogen priority list of the World Health Organisation released in 2022 for highlighting priority areas for action, including the development of effective therapeutic solution.

Published: July 2024

To date, the association of potato tuber microbiota is poorly understood. In this study, the endophytic bacterial flora of seed potato tubers was identified and the diversity of healthy and unhealthy tubers was compared. Metagenomic DNA extracted from healthy and unhealthy samples of seed potato tubers was used for the analysis of microbial communities. Next generation sequencing of the ∼460 bp v3–v4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was carried out using the Illumina Miseq platform. The data were analysed using the Divisive Amplicon Denoising Algorithm 2 pipeline. Sequence analysis of the potato metagenome identified amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) assigned to 745 different taxa belonging to eight Phyla: Firmicutes (46.2%), Proteobacteria (36.9%), Bacteroidetes (1.8%), Actinobacteria (0.1%), Tenericutes (0.005%), Saccharibacteria (0.003%), Verrucomicrobiota (0.003%), and Acidobacteria (0.001%). In healthy seed potato tubers, 55–99% of ASVs belonged to Firmicutes, including Bacillus, Salinibacillus, Staphylococcus, Lysinibacillus, Paenibacillus, and Brevibacillus genera within the taxonomic order Bacillales. However, in the visually unhealthy tubers, only 0.5–3.9% of ASVs belonged to Firmicutes while 84.1–97% of ASVs belonged to Proteobacteria. This study highlights that diverse bacterial communities colonize potato tubers, which contributes to the understanding of plant–microbe interactions and underscores the significance of metagenomic approaches in agricultural research.

HOMERO – PRÓS E CONTRAS: A QUESTÃO HOMÉRICA COMO UM PROBLEMA DE TRADUÇÃO E O PROBLEMA DA TRADUÇÃO COMO UMA QUESTÃO HOMÉRICA
Authors: Schramm Júnior Roberto Mário
Published: July 2024

O presente ensaio enfoca a venerável e elusiva 'Questão homérica'. Meu argumento se inscreve em torno das apologias às versões homéricas de Matthew Arnold e Jorge Luis Borges, e tem como o objetivo formular essa pergunta insondável nos termos estritos de alguma teoria da tradução. Minha proposta: eu quero simplesmente discutir a questão homérica como uma questão tradutológica, e, por outro lado, discutir também a tradução como uma espécie de questão homérica. Para apoiar meu raciocínio, pretendo confrontar alguns fragmentos das traduções de Manuel Odorico Mendes e Donaldo Schüler para a Odisseia de Homero. O episódio selecionado consiste na captura de Proteu por Menelau, tal como descrito no livro quarto do poema.Palavras-chave: Homero. Tradução Homérica. Questão Homérica. Manuel Odorico Mendes. Donaldo Schüler.

QUESTÕES DE TERMINOLOGIA NA TRADUÇÃO DE LITERATURA: OS CASOS DE EDITH WHARTON E WILLIAM BLAKE
Authors: Steil Juliana
Published: July 2024

Este artigo explora pontos de contato entre a tradução e a Terminologia, desenvolvendo o argumento de que a tradução literária também envolve preocupações e necessidades terminológicas, apesar de a teoria terminológica em geral considerar que o conhecimento sobre o léxico especializado é necessário apenas para a tradução de textos científicos, tecnológicos e profissionais. O problema é abordado a partir do exame da tradução de textos literários de dois autores de tradições diferentes, especificamente a narrativa longa da escritora estadunidense Edith Wharton (1862-1937) e o texto poético do gravurista, pintor e poeta inglês William Blake (1757-1827).Palavras-chave: Terminologia e tradução literária, Edith Wharton, William BlakeABSTRACT:
