Development of a Mobile-Based Application for Classifying Caladium Plants Using the CNN Algorithm
Authors: Chandra Rudy , Arifin Prasetyo Tegar , Lumbangaol Heni Ernita , Siahaan Veny , Sianipar Johan Immanuel
Published: May 2024

Caladium is a popular ornamental plant and has business potential. However, difficulties in recognizing the type of Caladium often occur because of the similarities in shape, pattern, and color of the leaves between the different kinds of Caladium. To overcome this problem, research will use machine learning with the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm to build a mobile application that can accurately classify four types of Caladiums. The data set used is 1200 data with four classes; each class has 300 data. The best model is found with the parameter epoch 100, learning rate 0.001, and batch size 64. The model is then implemented in a mobile application with two menus, "Take a photo" and "Choose an image," which will display the classification output and confidence values of the four types of Caladiums. Testing with 30 test data per class achieves 0.975 accuracy on both menus. On the “Take a photo” menu, precision is 0.974, recall is 0.9725, and f1-score is 0.965. Meanwhile, on the “Choose an image” menu a precision and recall value is 0.975, and f1-score value of 0.97.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF FINFET-BASED ENERGY RECOVERY ADDER CIRCUITS
Authors: Kaza Srilakshmi , Yarlagadda Syamala , Chintapalli S. D. Raghavendra , Babu E. Vijaya
Published: May 2024

The growing demand for secure devices (such as radio frequency identification tags, wireless sensor networks, and smart cards) and the widespread use of the Internet of Things (IoT) have necessitated the secure and energy-efficient design of IoT devices. To date, most of the previous investigations carried out regarding secure devices have focused on the implementation of adiabatic logic circuits for ultra-low power applications. However, to investigate various applications of adiabatic logic circuits, it is essential to analyze their performance characteristics. In this work, the performance of fin field-effect transistor (FinFET)-based adiabatic logic styles using the 4-bit Brent-Kung adder as a reference was evaluated and compared. The simulations performed using Berkeley short-channel insulated-gate common
multi-gate FinFET models at 45 nm technology node indicated significant differences in energy consumption, area occupied, peak current pulses, operating frequencies, and temperature effects with respect to the various logic styles studied.
The History of the Development of Statehood: Theoretical and Methodological Understanding of the Most Important Conceptual Approaches
Authors: Balakhonsky Vitaly
Published: May 2024

The article provides a heuristic analysis of the most important conceptual approaches to the study of the history of the development of statehood, determining the possibilities of their methodological integration within the framework of scientific research. The advantages and disadvantages of the formational and civilizational approaches to understanding the general trends and specifics of the genesis and evolution of statehood are established. As the authors note, there is a certain connection between the state and civilization, due to the mutual determination within society, the corresponding functions of the state and culture. The conclusion is substantiated that the civilizational analysis of the history of statehood includes three main principles: 1) clarification of the civilizational qualitative certainty of a given state; 2) disclosure of the status of its civilizational attribution, that is, understanding to what extent civilizational specificity is reflected in a specific form of statehood; 3) methodological correlation of the formational and existential conceptual approach (in the formational approach, this may involve clarifying the socio-cultural conditionality of the features of the economic development of the state, in the existential one — in highlighting the axiological determinants of the teleological perspective of state development. The heuristic potential of the formational, civilizational and existential conceptual approaches is revealed, which allows: to determine the place of the state in the system of social formations, to reveal the economic determinants of its features (the formational approach); to determine the socio-cultural conditionality of the specifics of specific states (the civilizational approach); to theoretically model the teleological sense-forming orientation of the development of forms of statehood. The conclusion is made about the possibility of methodological integration of certain heuristic principles of civilizational, formational and existential research approaches to understanding the history of statehood, based on the fact that they are focused on solving various cognitive tasks at different levels of the research process.
Definition of the Beginning of Life and Its Legal Significance
Authors: Vasilevich Dmitry
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the positions of scientists, as well as the current legislation regarding the definition of the beginning of human life in the context of child conception and ensuring the right of human embryo for life. The problem has not only theoretical, but also important practical significance, as the grounds and limits of legal regulation of a number of relations depend on it. The definition of the beginning of life allows for optimal legal regulation, including the provision of legal guarantees to preserve the life of the human embryo. States independently decide on the establishment of prohibition on artificial termination of pregnancy or the time limits after which such a termination is prohibited. Attention is drawn to the development of assisted reproductive technologies, the emergence of the possibility to use cryopreserved embryos, which can be stored for a long time. There is a lack of development of this aspect in science and a small and heterogeneous judicial practice. According to the author, the use of cryopreserved embryos in resolving issues of inheritance of property, as well as after divorce, should be based on a contractual basis. Due to the fact that the legislation allows artificial termination of pregnancy up to a certain period, as well as on medical grounds, the best way to determine the legal capacity of the embryo (foetus) as conditional. Proposals are being made to improve the norms of civil law, including a proposal to call to inheritance for children born as a result of the use of the biomaterial of the testator for in vitro fertilization within six months after testator’s death and born alive after the opening of the inheritance.
Transformation of the Institution of Constitutional Control in the Republic of Belarus
Authors: Maslovskaya Tatiana
Published: May 2024

The article examines the stages of the evolution of constitutional control in the Republic of Belarus, through the prism of the development of abstract and concrete control. Characterizing the form of abstract control, attention is drawn to a certain adjustment of abstract subsequent control, introduced with the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus in 1994, at different stages of constitutional development (1996, 2014, 2022) in relation to subjects of circulation, objects of control. The form of mandatory preliminary control over the constitutionality of laws adopted by Parliament before their signing by the President, introduced in 2008, is analyzed. As a result of the constitutional changes of 2022, the Belarusian model of preliminary constitutional control has undergone a certain transformation associated with its constitutional legitimation, the expansion of objects of preliminary control, as well as the transition from mandatory to optional control over the constitutionality of laws adopted by Parliament before they are signed by the President. Particular attention is paid to the study of the development of specific constitutional control, taking into account a certain adjustment of the constitutional formula in 2022 with the aim of consistent development of the Belarusian model of constitutional justice within the framework of the European model. Attention is focused on the most important constitutional innovation of 2022 – the introduction of a constitutional complaint, which significantly expands citizens’ access to constitutional justice. It is concluded that each stage of the development of constitutional control in Belarus serves as an example of adaptation to the changing conditions of the functioning of constitutional justice. It has been established that the adjustment in 2022 of the Belarusian model of subsequent concrete constitutional control indicates a transformation of the Belarusian model of constitutional control, consisting of the abandonment of elements of a mixed model, and the current stage of the evolution of constitutional control in the Republic of Belarus demonstrates the transition from an abstract form of constitutional control to concrete constitutional control , which means an increasing role of the Constitutional Court not only as a guarantor of the supremacy of the Constitution, but also as a defender of individual rights and freedoms.
On the Issue of the Sectoral Nature of the Employment Contract (In Memory of Professor V.M. Lebedev)
Authors: Komkov Sergey
Published: May 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the need to implement independent legal regulation of social and labor relations by the norms of labor law, taking into account the modern paradigm of labor law, in particular the features of the technological process in specific organizations. The independence of the employment contract and labor law is affirmed. It is noted that the inclusion of an employment contract among civil contracts does not contribute to the development of industrial relations and does not correspond to the rights and interests of workers. It is noted that the regulation of labor relations by sources of civil legislation cannot take into account either the specifics of the activities of certain organizations, or the rights and interests of individual workers. It is concluded that the employment contract can be considered a unique source of labor law, since it is valid only in the relationship between the employee and the employer. It is noted that the relationship between an employee and an employer is not a relationship between two legally equal entities, the obligation of one of which is the obligation to make efforts (the obligation to work, following the instructions of the employer), and the obligation of the second is to pay money for the efforts made. This is not a private law relationship. It involves the power and subordination that characterize public relations. It is indicated that labor legislation does not properly regulate issues of the conditions for the validity of labor transactions and the legal consequences of their invalidity. Attention is drawn to the fact that the discussion itself about the sectoral affiliation of the employment contract should, first of all, have practical significance. It is argued that the need for subsidiary application of civil law to labor relations does not determine the absorption of labor law by civil law. This only presents the mechanism of “legal economy” that the legislator uses.
Assessment of the Effectiveness of Legal Instruments Used to Develop Franchising Relations in Russia
Authors: Rozhdestvenskiy Vadim
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the effectiveness of legal instruments that are used for the development of franchising in Russia. Despite the demand for franchising and the already formed idea of it as an instrument that allows you to start entrepreneurial activity, which will bring income, the legal regulation of legal relations in this area is not developed enough. A significant drawback is the refusal to recognize the franchise contract as an independent civil law contract that has its own specifics, including in terms of the legal status of the participants, the fulfillment of obligations, as well as the possibility of protecting the violated right. The application of rules on similar legal institutions, including commercial concessions, does not fully ensure legal protection for the subjects of a franchise agreement. The result of insufficient legal regulation is the inability to defend interests that is more clearly manifested in relation to franchisees. The lack of support for Russian franchisees is reflected in a decrease in the demand for franchises. It is not taken into account that the franchisees are mostly representatives of small and micro-enterprises, which implies the need to attract additional attention from the state to them. This is partly due to the essence of the franchise agreement itself, when the business begins under the leadership of a successful enterprise that consistently generates income. In addition, the possibility of registration of franchises has not yet been implemented, which complicates the qualification of legal relations and the allocation of franchising to an independent group. According to the results of the study, the article formulated ideas regarding the possibilities of using legal instruments in order for such a promising direction as franchising to develop in Russia.
The Current State and Growth Potential of Voluntary Health Insurance Market in Russia
Authors: Bakhmatov Sergey , Kolesnikova Tatyana
Published: May 2024

In the article the authors consider the current state of voluntary health insurance (VHI) in Russia and assess the factors of influence its further development using general theoretical and statistical methods. Significant influence of the corporate sector on the VHI market was substantiated. It has been found that VHI, being a market product, depends significantly on demand and supply. In particular, VHI depends from the solvency of insured persons and inflation fluctuations where the increase in the cost of paid health care is of particular importance. Years of pandemics and geopolitical phenomena in Russia affected the incomes of citizens and businesses (especially for outbound tourism). This mirrored the losses and slow growth of the Russian VHI market. The decline in insurance premiums in the corporate sector on the VHI market significantly aggravates the position of this segment in the personal insurance market. Improving the insurance culture, affordability of VHI and stimulation of demand (incl. in the form of tax credits) remains a pressing issue, as the market has potential. Population welfare, insurance culture, availability and quality of insurance protection become starting points for the emerging VHI market in Russia.
Regulation of Property Relations Based on the Preferences of Economic Agents as a Tool for Increasing Aggregate Total Welfare on the Example of the Russian Forestry Complex
Authors: Litvin Dmitry
Published: May 2024

The balance of preferences of economic agents and formal institutions is the key to long-term growth of well-being. The article suggests a mechanism for increasing the compliance of institutional transformations with the revealed preferences (using the example of the Russian forest complex). A categorical apparatus based on the comparison of the functions of subjects of endogenous and exogenous distribution has been developed. It is shown that despite the comparative economic efficiency of the endogenous set (confirmed by the results of regression analysis), the real distribution is characterized by the presence of quasi-market preferences. In this context, the influence of path dependence (using the time preference operator) on rational expectations, and, accordingly, budget sets and production sets of agents, is formalized. The scheme of a limited set of available powers of the lessee of forest plots is presented. A model for regulating the distribution of property rights has been developed based on comparing the dynamics of cash flows with institutional changes. The model has been tested. The concept of institutional transformations of the Russian forest complex in the direction of strengthening endogenous-contractual relations, specification of private and state powers and optimization of forest management and forest accounting functions is proposed.
Features of the Interpretaition of Light and Color in the Philosophy and Literature of Symbolism
Authors: Prokhorenkova Svetlana
Published: May 2024

This article is devoted to the discoveries of poets, writers and symbolist philosophers in the field of color symbolism and its new content. Saturation with a new meaning of human existence, the search for spiritual support, reflections on the human soul and the fate of Russia — these are the main topics with which the understanding of color turned out to be interconnected.
On the example of the analysis of the philosophical and literary activities of outstanding thinkers of the late XIX — early XX century, the main ideas of a difficult time for Russia are considered. The analysis of color symbolism in the work of Vl. Solovyov, A. Bely, D. Merezhkovsky and F. Sologub made it possible to give a comparative description of the images-symbols presented in the works of prominent thinkers. The range of topics in the philosophy and literature of the Silver Age is unusually wide. Significant was the interest of the authors in mythology and religion (the spiritual life of a person), in social life, in the creative activity and personality of a person: in his inner life, thoughts and experiences.
The world of the soul and the world of thought were colored by philosophers and poets of the Silver Age in different colors. A fine line of interaction between the soul and the human mind has been discovered. An intuitive approach helped thinkers to understand and decipher the most complex phenomena of the surrounding world and the inner life of a person. That is why the images of poetry and prose were not always distinct and clear. They acquired a multi-level nature and developed into signs, symbols of the era. The processes of change in the perception of the world, which characterize the Silver Age, almost simultaneously occurred not only in literature and philosophy, but also in the visual arts, architecture and musical art.
Aspectos Geométricos y Algebraicos de la Teoría Neo Riemanniana y Pitch-Class Set
Authors: Lugos Abarca Josué Alexis
Published: May 2024

En este artículo, por medio del álgebra lineal, se propone un método matemático para representar y componer progresiones armónicas. Primero, en relación con los acordes y los conjuntos de notas, se retoman los conceptos matemáticos de la teoría neoriemanniana y pitch-class set, para obtener las respectivas ecuaciones. En segundo lugar, con la fórmula de la distancia entre dos puntos, se interpretan las notas como puntos en un plano cartesiano con sus vectores bidimensionales. En tercer lugar, estos sirven de base para construir polígonos a partir de los conjuntos pitch-class set. En cuarto lugar, similar a lo realizado con las notas, se definen los acordes triádicos como vectores tridimensionales y tetradimensionales (esto es, de cuatro variables: x,  y, z y t) en los acordes con séptima. Por último, se introducen las transformaciones lineales como herramienta matemática para expresar y generar progresiones armónicas.
English Language Learners' Attitudes Towards Bilingualism: Chicago Suburbs Case Study
Authors: Edmonds Ivana
Published: May 2024

This study assumes that the native language of immigrants and their descendants in the US is not equally cherished as the dominant language of the host country. The goal of the study was to examine English as a second language (ESL) high school Hispanic students’ attitudes towards their home language (L1), English (L2), and bilingualism in their high school in the Chicago area, USA. The research, which includes sixty respondents, was based on an online questionnaire that was conducted in the selected high school. The results of the study showed generally positive attitudes towards the L1, L2, and bilingualism/the bilingual program by the English language learners. However, the results suggest a need for a different bilingual program, more additive in nature, which will include L1 instruction and offer better support, particularly for the lower English proficiency learners. In turn, it will prevent students from becoming monolingual in their second language. Moreover, the results also suggest that further research is needed after integration of the proposed bilingual program, which would prompt changes that would increase its effectiveness and measure students′ achievement patterns. This study offers suggestions for teachers and policymakers for improvement of their bilingual program at their school, while keeping the students′ interests in mind.
Redefining the Association Between Memory, Mnemonics and Vocabulary Acquisition—Reviewing Paradigms in Research
Authors: Agnes Diana , Srinivasan R
Published: May 2024

The role of memory in language learning is indispensable. A child uses an extraordinary amount of memory when learning to recognise words in the language, creating rules for their use, and connecting speech to the environment and mind. Memory and learning are interdependent, as memory is the process of encoding, storing and retrieving information that is crucial to learning. The value of learning new words, along with the role of memory and mnemonic devices in the process of vocabulary acquisition, is rarely discussed. The article aims to give a comprehensive account of the word and its significance, as well as the numerous aspects that influence word learning, together with the value of learning new words and the functions of memory and mnemonic devices involved in the process of vocabulary acquisition. The various memory models, the efficient processing of information with the aid of mnemonics and how mnemonics have changed over time in studying languages and other subjects are reviewed here. The other major aspects of this study are the dual coding method and an explanation of how mnemonics operate and how mnemonics have evolved with time in studying languages and other subjects.
An Ecofeminist and Taoist Reading of Louise Glück’s A Village Life
Authors: Hu Yeting , Lin Agnes Liau Wei , Muhammad Suzana
Published: May 2024

Born and bred in the Western lands in the context of ecological crisis and feminist movement in the 1970s, ecofeminism views men’s rule over women and human’s rule over nature as two aspects of the same issue, and believes that there is an inherent connection between them. By criticizing the oppressive status of women and nature, and eliminating the dualism rooted in western patriarchy, ecofeminism aims to promote equality and harmony among all things. Taoism, an ancient Eastern philosophy with a history of thousands of years, also places great emphasis on harmony among individuals, nature, society, and the universe. Its principles of “the unity of man and nature”, and balance between “Yin” and “Yang” provide philosophical support for ecofeminism which rejects dualisms and encourages wholeness and harmony. As society and economy develop rapidly, humanity faces a series of crisis, and this paper just intends to combine ecofeminism with Taoism to make an analysis on Louise Glück’s poem collection of A Village Life to explore her ecofeminist consciousness and how she advocates the establishment of a diverse but harmonious world without hierarchical differences in her poems.
Incorporating Flipped Model in Learning English Grammar: Exploring EFL Students’ Intrinsic Motivation and Attainment
Authors: Aldaghri Ashwaq A.
Published: May 2024

Flipped Classroom (FC) is an educational approach that has gained considerable attention. It incorporates technology to deliver direct instruction outside of class, while in-class time is limited to contextualized collaborative activities. On the other hand, intrinsic motivation (IM) is a fundamental objective for educators, as it helps learners pursue learning throughout the year. It is the internal drive to engage in learning activities for the sake of personal fulfillment and satisfaction. Recognizing the vital role of IM, the paper investigates the efficacy of flipped learning (FL) in raising students’ IM in grammar courses within the framework of Self-Determination Theory (SDT). A total of forty-one (n= 41) Saudi EFL university students were normally distributed into two groups. The experimental group receives FC instruction, while the control group is taught using traditional explicit instruction. A pretest and a posttest were administered to both groups. Furthermore, a questionnaire was further distributed to the experimental group. The findings of the present quasi-experimental study demonstrate that FC enhances students' IM by providing a student-centered, supportive, positive, and collaborative technology-based environment that promotes their language attainment and satisfies their basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Finally, to ensure its successful implementation, it is recommended that teacher training and thorough content planning are vital before implementing FC.
The Perspectives of Students on the Role of Instructors' Facemasks in Hindering the Oral Communication Skills of Students Learning English at PYD, PSAU in the KSA
Authors: Abdallah Muawia O. Elhag , Gadir Elrashid M.
Published: May 2024

The present study aims to find out the impact of instructors' facemasks in hindering oral communication skills among students by investigating the factors that lead to such a hindrance in language learning and suggesting suitable solutions for reducing the negative effects of wearing facemasks and bettering communication skills. Findings indicate that, though wearing a facemask is mandatory for personal health and prevention against COVID-19, it hinders the students from developing their oral communication skills and prevents them from observing the facial expressions of English instructors that are hidden behind those facemasks. Tone and pitch are very essential in the process of oral communication and the changing of speech sounds is helpful to maintain oral communication speech channels. Nonetheless, it was observed that transparent facemask solves the problems of hiding facial and verbal expressions of the lips, and the video lessons compensate for the oral communication weaknesses of students. In view of the findings, it was therefore recommended that wearing a transparent facemask along with providing students with extra video lessons can be effective in helping students improve their oral communication skills.
Unlocking the Potential: Exploring EFL Instructors' Perception in Enhancing Oral Proficiency of Saudi EFL Learners
Authors: Moafa Ruqayyah N.
Published: May 2024

This study examines English language teachers' perceptions of their instructional strategies in daily English as a Foreign Language classroom instruction in Saudi Arabia. The study focuses on three aspects of second language learning: lesson planning, classroom management, and external pressures from tests and assessments. Ten EFL teachers were chosen randomly based on specific criteria such as having at least three years of teaching experience, no familiarity with the research, and currently engaged in full-time EFL instruction for Saudi students. Semi-structured interviews were used in the study, each lasting approximately 55 minutes. The information was gathered in three stages: deconstruction, coding, and incorporation into the larger dataset. The study concluded that teachers play a vital role in the language classroom, implementing instructional practices to prepare students for exams and other academic demands. In conclusion, improving English speaking skills is essential for success in today's competitive global world. Teachers should embrace pedagogical approaches, prioritizing learning and incorporating diverse activities to engage students and foster creativity.
Assessing Saudi EFL Learners’ Use and Understanding of English Idioms: Perceptions, Problems, and Patterns of Learning
Authors: Jamshed Mohammad , Almashy Abduh , Saleem Mohammad , Warda Wahaj Unnisa
Published: May 2024

This study aims to investigate Saudi EFL learners’ perceptions of English idioms, their problems, and the patterns of their learning and understanding of English idioms. 458 students (around 10%) were selected through a random sampling method from the undergraduate learners in different levels of programs at the College of Business Administration and the College of Science & Humanities, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj, KSA. As the study looked at how certain independent variables (gender, level/year of study, and parents’ profession) shaped dependent variables (perceptions/attitudes), a questionnaire was self-developed which includes modified items from existing research. A quantitative approach (descriptive statistics) was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that Saudi EFL learners’ perceptions were very positive about English idioms and their impact on enhancing their English proficiency. It was found that lack of background information, unfamiliarity, variation in literal interpretation, lack of Arabic parallels, and insufficient EFL classroom training made learning English idioms challenging for respondents. It was also revealed that Saudi EFL learners acquired and comprehended English idioms via using them in sentences, consulting a dictionary, guessing from contexts, group discussions, and breaking them down into their constituent parts. One-way ANOVA analysis found no statistically significant difference among the respondents based on their demographic differences. The study holds implications for both teachers and students as it will help them teach and learn English idioms effectively. The most common method is translating English idioms into their language.
Creación, traducción y autotraducción en la obra literaria de Juan Ramírez Dawkins
Authors:   Universidad de Cundinamarca, Arboleda Toro Andrés
Published: May 2024

El poemario Naked Skin/Piel Desnuda (1996) así como el libro de cuentos The Soldier Dem De Come/Ahí vienen los soldados and/y The Mango Tree/El Palo de mango (1996), del escritor sanandresano Juan Ramírez Dawkins son sin duda alguna dos producciones literarias muy singulares en los panoramas literarios colombiano e hispanoamericano en los que la lengua dominante es el español. Su dimensión heterolingüe muestra en el plano lingüístico esa tensión de fuerzas que se da en plano cultural y que enmarca el universo literario del escritor. Por otro lado, la traducción no solo traslada estos dos libros a otra lengua, sino que los desdobla. Esta obra con doble original constituye un interesante caso de “semiautraducción” (Dasilva, 2016, p.16) en el caribe ya que los límites que rodean a la traducción y a la autotraducción se unen y se cruzan entre sí. La versión española de estos libros, variaciones de una versión anterior (como en la tradición oral) replantean la forma de ver la identidad que se supone debe haber entre la traducción y el original.
La traducción de los idiomas de ficción en Traversée de la mangrove de Maryse Condé
Authors:   El Colegio de México, Inés Fernández Ana
Published: May 2024

Las Antillas Francesas viven entre la lengua oficial y la lengua cotidiana, entre el pensamiento racional y el mágico, entre la identidad caribeña y la francesa. Al traducir textos de culturas como éstas se hace evidente que la lengua de escritura muchas veces no es la lengua de ficción: el francés, lengua de escritura y lengua culta, es el vehículo que la mayoría de los escritores francoantillanos usan para narrar sus relatos, sin embargo, la lengua cotidiana, el créole, resalta la ficción en voz de narrador y personajes. En particular, a partir de una investigación para tesis de maestría en traducción, este artículo analiza ciertos elementos literarios del capítulo “Lucien Évariste” en Traversée de la mangrove (1989), de la autora guadalupeña Maryse Condé, con el fin de mostrar un proceso de traducción que conserve, en español, la verosimilitud de un relato cuyos idiomas de ficción son el créole guadalupeño y el francés, guadalupeño también.
La traducción como proyecto editorial. Análisis de dos traducciones de L’espace d’un cillement de Jacques Stéphen Alexis
Authors:   Universidad Iberoamericana, Yrízar Carrillo Nadxeli
Published: May 2024

En este artículo se contrastan dos traducciones de la novela L’espace d’un cillement del autor haitiano Jacques Stéphen Alexis para mostrar cómo el papel de las editoriales obedece a dos intenciones culturales distintas para presentar el libro, a los traductores y el lugar que cada uno de ellos ocupa en las publicaciones respectivas. La primera, En un abrir y cerrar de ojos es una traducción al español de Jorge Zalamea, publicada en México por Ediciones ERA diez años después de que apareció escrita en francés y la segunda, In the flicker of an eyelid es una traducción al inglés de Carrol F. Coates y Edwidge Danticat, publicada treinta y tres años después por la Universidad de Virginia en Estados Unidos. Mientras la publicación al español acentúa el carácter sociopolítico de la novela como parte de un pensamiento revolucionario común en América Latina en la época y resalta el papel histórico tanto del autor como del traductor, la publicación estadounidense reivindica la estética literaria afrocaribeña mediante su traducción y los comentarios que acompañan a la novela, otorgando al traductor un amplio control sobre la publicación. Las estrategias de traducción opuestas empeladas por los traductores presentan la novela de manera diferente en la cultura importadora; la traducción al español es literal y deja una huella de extrañeza en el texto con la que el lector debe lidiar, sin embargo, la traducción al inglés es fluida y explicativa, eliminando cualquier obstáculo posible entre el lector y el texto.
Psicoanálisis traducido y en vías de traducción
Authors:   Universidad de Brasília, Escalante Alba
Published: May 2024

Esta propuesta, enmarcada en el diálogo entre Estudios de la Traducción y Psicoanálisis, se realiza en dos articulaciones. En la primera se pretende pensar la traducción a partir de psicoanálisis y para lo que se establecen coordenadas epistemológicas. También se hace una exposición sobre el valor de la noción de experiencia reuniendo a Jacques Lacan y a Antoine Berman. Este es un avance para responder la pregunta sobre la experiencia de lenguaje que enlaza estos campos. La segunda articulación enfoca el trabajo de traducción de textos psicoanalíticos, en especial, el periplo de traducción de los Écrits de Jacques Lacan en Latinoamérica. A lo largo de la presentación, se plantean, además, una serie de tópicos que constituyen los lineamientos del programa de investigación aquí esbozado.
Armonía y diafonía en la traducción al inglés de El arpa y la sombra
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Álvarez Rossana Andrea
Published: May 2024

Este trabajo analiza la última novela de Alejo Carpentier, El arpa y la sombra (1979) y su traducción al inglés por Thomas y Carol Christensen (The Harp and the Shadow, 1990). Se pone de relieve que esta novela está atravesada por la traducción de diferentes maneras. Por un lado, Carpentier, al referirse a la historia de Cristóbal Colón, alude a las dificultades de los conquistadores que intentaron narrar el nuevo mundo, una operación de traducción de carácter primigenio. Por otro lado, el autor intenta desmitificar la figura de Colón y para ello recurre a intertextos, como los diarios de Colón y la Biblia, ‘traduciéndolos’ y haciendo un uso irónico de los mismos para poner al descubierto los mecanismos por los cuales un texto puede ser manipulado para un cierto fin. Al mismo tiempo, se hace referencia al esquema musical de sinfonía que Carpentier quiso darle a la novela. La musicalidad no solo se percibe a nivel de la estructura sino también del ritmo de la prosa. El aspecto sonoro es algo ineludible a tener en cuenta en la traducción de esta novela y el análisis del mismo será el eje central de este trabajo. La propuesta es, entonces, repasar los momentos musicales que dan el marco a esta novela para así cotejarlos con lo que se produce en la traducción al inglés.

Entre la agenda política y la política de traducción: el caso de The West Indian Review (1934-1940)
Authors:   Universidad de Chile, RothE Thomas
Published: May 2024

El trabajo que aquí se presenta toma como objeto de estudio la primera etapa de The West Indian Review (1934-1940), revista mensual dirigida por Esther Chapman en Kingston, Jamaica. Pese a su conservadurismo editorial, la revista emplea una política de traducción única en la región durante la primera mitad del siglo –gracias a la participación de la traductora estadounidense Edna Worthley Underwood– que permite generar una mayor circulación de autores latinoamericanos cuyas obras se vinculan con la afirmación identitaria nacional y regional. El análisis de las estrategias editoriales y prácticas de traducción que se dan en la revista problematiza estas tensiones ideológicas y busca comprender las complejidades del desarrollo del campo literario anglocaribeño.
La recepción de las letras borgianas en Alemania: el caso de “La biblioteca de Babel”
Authors:   Universidad de Alicante, Pérez Blázquez David

El presente artículo aborda la recepción en Alemania de la obra literaria de Jorge Luis Borges, centrando su atención en una de sus narraciones más emblemáticas, “La biblioteca de Babel”. En primer lugar, se examinan determinadas circunstancias relevantes para interpretar la introducción y el establecimiento de su obra en el mercado editorial alemán, destacando el impulso definitivo que le dio el crítico colombiano Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot. Tras poner en contexto la recepción de la obra borgiana, se analiza el caso concreto de “La biblioteca de Babel” registrando sus diversas traducciones al alemán, trazando las características del relato y poniéndolas en relación con las soluciones traductivas adoptadas por Karl August Horst, primera voz del autor argentino en las letras alemanas. Finalmente, se presentan de forma sucinta algunos apuntes críticos sobre su versión, una de las más extendidas entre el público germanoparlante.
Machine Translation and Translation Machines in Roberto Arlt’s Los siete locos (1929) and Los lanzallamas (1931)
Authors:   Oberlin College, Solomon Claire
Published: May 2024

Literary translation theory reclaims “untranslatables” (Apter, 2013, Lezra, 2017) as Google promises to bridge the gap between human and machine (Wu et al, 2016). Surveying recent developments in translation theory and machine translation, I reread Roberto Arlt’s Los siete locos (1929) and Los lanzallamas (1931) through the prism of translation, focusing on how translation machines and machine translation operate within the novel to offer a different interpretation of its ending.

Podemos comenzar reflexionando sobre cómo traducir el título de este libro. Desde el título, el verbo “impliciter” representa un asunto primordial a resolver para el traductor, pues el verbo es un neologismo en francés, y en español no puede traducirse por una sola palabra; el título podría ser entonces “Dejar implícito, hacer explícito. La intervención del traductor”. El libro está dividido en 4 secciones, Abordajes teóricos, Producciones artísticas, Articulaciones económicas y políticas, Reflexiones didácticas, seguidas de la Conclusión y las notas biográficas de los autores. En las cuatro secciones el eje de la discusión gira en torno a las decisiones del traductor cuando se trata de “dejar implícito” o de “hacer explícito”.

Este número de la revista Mutatis Mutandis. Revista Latinoamericana de Traducción, “Mujeres y traducción en América Latina y el Caribe”, es un ejemplar dedicado a Latinoamérica en medio de la fuerte crisis sanitaria que se vive en la región debido a la pandemia causada por el Covid-19. En confinamiento, editores, autores, evaluadores, correctores y personal técnico y administrativo enfrentaron la escritura, revisión, corrección y demás procesos con el mejor ánimo para presentarles hoy un número diverso, inspirador y que anima a su lectura por los temas abordados. Los artículos se destacan por la actualidad de las temáticas que incitan a reivindicar a la mujer traductora (diversa y plural) en el continente, así como por la interdisciplinariedad y variedad de aproximaciones teórico-metodológicas que nos muestran cómo la traductología latinoamericana se proyecta en un horizonte enriquecido por conexiones disciplinares de gran interés. Miradas desde la antropología, la literatura, el derecho, se harán visibles en los manuscritos que se presentan a continuación. De igual manera aproximaciones transnacionales al ejercicio de la traducción se despliegan para mostrar que la traducción y los traductores comparten espacios interculturales donde se difuminan los límites de lo propio y lo ajeno. Se acogerán en este dossier miradas desde la interseccionalidad, el postcolonialismo, los estudios de género, así como estudios de percepción, perfiles de traductoras en combinación con estudios biográficos, estudio de redes de publicación y recepción, análisis paratextuales, estudios contrastivos y reflexiones sobre la praxis traductora.
Traducción y prensa en América Latina y el Caribe: pasado, presente y futuro

La importancia de los medios de comunicación en la configuración social, política y cultural de nues-tras sociedades, hoy y en el pasado, es evidente. Los medios de comunicación son objeto de estudio de muchas disciplinas, así como tema de conversación en diversos espacios sociales; es un campo de estudio que apasiona y dibuja una faceta importante del ser humano en relación con su contexto. La prensa, medio de comunicación que se ajusta con gran flexibilidad a diversos formatos, continúa siendo esencial para abrir lugares de reflexión y delinear la opinión pública. Este último rasgo es todavía más relevante en entornos globalizados y, en su dimensión inevitablemente multilingüe (todo periódico actualmente bebe de fuentes diversas, incluidas fuentes extranjeras), vuelve la traducción una actividad de primer orden. Cualquier medio de comunicación debería considerar el valor agregado de contar en su equipo de trabajo con traductores e intérpretes competentes en traducción como complementos esenciales a la labor de sus periodistas. El flujo de información no da espera y cada vez son más los periódicos o medios de información digital (general o espe-cializada) que difunde (“globaliza”) su información en tiempo real.
Reseña: Traducción económica e investigación en España. Estudio bibliométrico, Daniel Gallego Hernández, Editorial Comares, 2020, 256 pp.

Daniel Gallego Hernández es profesor titular del Departamento de Traducción e Interpretación, adscrito a la Universidad de Alicante. Tiene un máster en Traducción Jurídica y Económica. Sus publicaciones, entre las que predominan los artículos y capítulos de libros, se centran en la traducción económica, abordada desde análisis de corpus, estudios comparativos, encuestas y bibliometrías. Precisamente, el texto Traducción económica e investigación en España recoge los resultados de un estudio bibliométrico sobre traducción económica. Este tipo de trabajo analiza y mide la producción bibliográfica en una disciplina, en este caso, de la traductología. Una bibliometría es más que una bibliografía, pues sirve para comprender de manera empírica y sistemática no solo el estado actual del tratamiento de un tema, sino también su recorrido, su historia. Este libro es, entonces, una herramienta útil para los estudiantes interesados en la traducción económica, para los evaluadores de proyectos de investigación de posgrados y para los revisores de revistas de investigación en temas relacionados con este tipo de traducción porque presenta no solo una lista de trabajos en traducción económica, sino un análisis de dicha información, que podría resultar interesante para el uso en investigaciones adicionales, artículos académicos y como consulta general.
Reseña del libro: ¿Cómo se traducen los culturemas del ámbito turístico? Análisis de estrategias de traducción (español-inglés). Diana María González-Pastor
Authors:   Universidad de Alcalá, Sánchez Ramos María del Mar
Published: May 2024

La sociedad multicultural y multilingüe en la que vivimos marca las necesidades comunicativas de nuestros días. La traducción, como medio de comunicación entre culturas diferentes, ha ocupado un lugar destacado en la sociedad de la información desde sus comienzos. Incluso nos aventuramos a decir que la traducción es hoy en día más importante que en épocas pasadas. En este sentido, la comunicación lingüística y cultural es de gran relevancia en uno de los sectores de mayor auge en multitud de países, como es el sector turístico. Es por ello que la obra de González-Pastor resulta muy adecuada (e imprescindible) si nos atenemos a los cambios que ha experimentado la sociedad en los últimos años, en la cual hace falta un intercambio de comunicación efectiva, como es el caso del intercambio cultural que precisamente se establece en el ámbito turístico. A ello se suma la escasez de trabajos traductológicos sobre el lenguaje turístico, o la “traducción de la cultura” (p. 1), en palabras de la propia autora. El volumen, además de ser necesario dentro de nuestra disciplina, es sin duda muy valioso en otras afines, como puede ser la enseñanza de la lengua para fines específicos, pues, como veremos más adelante, se exponen de forma muy precisa cuestiones comunes como los géneros y las tipologías textuales del lenguaje turístico.
