A STUDY OF INTERSUBJECTIVITY IN TRANSLATION FROM A COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: He Xiaoyan , Myoung Sook Kang , Binti Abdullah Tina
Published: March 2024

With the emergence of a “cultural turn” in western translation researches since the 1970s, translators’ subjectivity has been highlighted, and some researchers have also been aware of the existence of intersubjectivity in translation activities; however, the views on the connotation and origin of intersubjectivity in translation are still controversial. This paper attempts to probe into the root causes for the existence of “intersubjectivity in translation” from a cognitive perspective, based on the fundamental “reality-cognition-language” principle in the Embodied Philosophy and cognitive linguistics. According to this principle, “cognition” mediates between “reality” and “language”. Language is formed on the basis of bodily experience and through the processing of human cognitive mechanism. Language is not a self-contained system, but closely related to the external world and human cognition. Furthermore, the author analyzes in depth Prof. Wang Yin’s viewpoint of “weakening phenomena” on “reality-cognition-language”, which sheds light on the study of intersubjectivity in translation. Qualitative research methods (including interviews and translation tests, etc.) have been adopted to collect relevant research data from carefully chosen respondents with different cultural backgrounds and bilingual competence, showing the manifestations of intersubjectivity in translation and the rationality of the kernel “reality-cognition language” principle in cognitive linguistics. In conclusion, fundamentally, it is the “commonness” and “differences” of individual subjects involved in translation activities (including the original author, the translator, the reader of the target text, and the translation initiator, etc.) together with the complicated interrelations among “reality”, “cognition” and “language” that cause intersubjectivity in translation. Intersubjectivity and subjectivity are interdependent, coexisting in the holistic field of translation.
12 TAOIST MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE PRACTICE OF TAIJIQUAN (TAI CHI)
Authors: Ivanov Valeri
Published: March 2024

The teaching of the Tao permeates all attempts to reach reality in Chinese philosophy, culture, worldview, and everyday life. It would be expected that the understanding of this teaching would be particularly close to the traditional practices that have their origin close to the insights regarding the Way. The wide popularity of Tai chi /taijiquan/ today does not make its practice more authentic or truthful. Instead, it seems to be yet another reason for the “elusive and intangible”2 Tao to remain hidden and hard to grasp (Lao Dza 1990, 21). We will attempt to briefly summarize twelve conceptual incongruities that are the reason for the popular Tai chi to lose its roots.
JIAXUN 家训 FAMILY INSTRUCTIONS – TREASURY OF HOME EDUCATION IN CHINA
Authors: Tsoncheva Polina
Published: March 2024

This paper is a result of the author’s strong interest in the organization of Chinese society during the vast period of imperial China — social relationships, education, upbringing. The study and systematization of key prerequisites for the formation and sustainable preservation of moral values in Chinese society will be the subject of a series of publications. One of the essential factors in this regard is the genre of “family instructions” 家训 popular in classical China, within which a number of works were created and distributed with the main purpose of affirming basic moral ideals. Since the hardest core of Chinese society is the family, it is not accidental that these “instructions” are headed in this direction.

Authors: Li Jing , Fan Luwei , Liao Yalu , Mu Linzi
Published: March 2024

Learning motivation provides a long-lasting driving force for students to make continuous efforts in the process of language learning. Earlier literature related to Chinese learning motivation shows the imbalance of research in which the Eastern European country Bulgaria has been rarely involved. This article further expands the data sample on the basis of previous research and performs a more in-depth and comprehensive study on Chinese language learning motivation of Bulgarian students. The results demonstrate that the Chinese learning motivation of Bulgarian students is relatively strong in general. There are five motivation types: learning situation motivation, integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, achievement-oriented motivation, and external-pressure motivation. Individual factors include gender, age and different learning phases (pre-learning and post-learning). Several suggestions for enhancing the students’ Chinese learning motivation are put forward for the reference of Chinese teachers in order to obtain better teaching results

THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF CHINESE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC – THE CASE OF THE CONFUCIUS INSTITUTES IN BULGARIA
Authors: Gan Zhixin , Zheng Jing
Published: March 2024

Under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the dissemination of Chinese culture and language has met unprecedented difficulties and challenges. By expounding the new difficulties and problems faced by the Confucius Insti tutes in Bulgaria during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the lack of teachers, students’ dropping out, teaching resources shortage, and frustrated interest in learning, this paper analyzes the effective strategies which contribute to ensuring regular classroom teaching and promoting cultural exchange during the pan demic. The practical and effective adjustment includes utilizing existing resourc es, improving TCFL teachers’ information literacy, strengthening localization construction of teachers and teaching materials, and enriching Chinese culture dissemination through the Internet, which not only leveled up Chinese language teaching outside of China, but also successfully popularized Chinese culture across national borders. Those practices actively promoted the cultural exchange between Bulgaria and China, and expanded the impact of Chinese culture in Bulgaria, giving a valuable reference in Chinese language teaching and culture dissemination in the post-pandemic era to other Central and Eastern European countries, and the countries along the Belt and Road as well.

THE RESTRICTION OF THE “4±1” MEMORY LIMIT ON CHUNK-CONSTRUCTION IN CHINESE POLITICAL DISCOURSE AND THE EXPLORATION OF ITS ENGLISH TRANSLATION PROCESSING
Authors: Cao Huan , Zhou Zhihua , Liu Shaolong
Published: March 2024

This paper, motivated by the limit theory of memory processing and based on a self-built bilingual parallel corpus, quantitatively describes and qualitatively analyzes the generative constraints of the “4±1” chunk constructions in Chinese political discourses and their English translation paradigm. Here are the major findings. First, chunk constructions are widely and prominently presented in Chinese political discourses and “4±1” chunking manifests itself as the most salient type. Second, the generation of “4±1” chunk constructions and their English translation conform or adapt to the limits of human memory processing, showing language processors’ adaptation to its guidance and restriction in both Chinese and English. Third, the “4±1” chunk constructions and their formulaic sequence clusters, like “double four-word/five-word sequences”, “triple three-word sequences” etc., show the chunkiness and discreteness of ST and its users’ spatiality preference. Fourth, the English translation of Chinese “4±1” chunk constructions presents a co-appearance and a balance of the holistic processing and the analytical process. The English translation shows the continuity and connectivity in TT and its temporality preference. These findings provide a theoretical basis and an observational perspective for future related studies.

An analysis of search query evolution in document classification and clustering
Authors:   , Haddela Kankanamalage Prasanna Sumathipala
Published: March 2024

With the increasing use of data analytics in decision-making processes today, the analysis of document collections for various purposes has become a widely accepted area of research. Document classification and clustering are two intensely investigated and active areas of research due to the complex nature of the problem and its impact on society. However, many of the popular methods developed to classify and cluster documents with high accuracy lack explanation to end users, which affects the trustworthiness of certain applications among them. Therefore, it is crucial to improve explainable classification and clustering methods. One approach that has shown promise in this regard is the evolved search query (eSQ), a genetic algorithm (GA)-based approach for classification and clustering. GA-based methods excel at finding highly optimized solutions for complex problems, and eSQ has utilized this capability to develop classification and clustering methods that are also human interpretable. The primary focus of this study is to analyse the eSQ approach to document classification and clustering with an emphasis on explainability. The investigation covers three perspectives of the eSQ-based methods: explainability, document classification, and document clustering. This thesis presents a taxonomy for classification based on human friendliness, empirical observations on the performance of eSQ classifiers using different feature selection methods, the effectiveness of eSQ classifiers for Sinhala documents, and the performance of eSQ clustering for Sinhala documents. The research contributes significantly by categorizing popular classification methods using the new taxonomy, integrating feature selection methods into eSQ classifiers, enhancing Apache Lucene by incorporating the Sinhala language with basic pre-processing tools, and improving eSQ hybrid single word clustering methods. Notably, the eSQ-based classification and clustering methods demonstrate superior performance when document categories overlap.
Development of Antimicrobial Impregnated Catheter Coatings to Prevent Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Infections
Authors:   , Capper-Parkin Kelly Laura
Published: March 2024

Background: Urinary catheters are an essential medical device, used in the management of urinary incontinence and retention. However, catheters provide an abiotic surface upon which bacteria may colonise and form biofilms recalcitrant to immune clearance and antibiotic therapy. The incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a significant burden for healthcare systems, with uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) posing as one of the most common causative pathogens. The development of an effective anti-infective catheter coating which could prevent biofilm formation upon the catheter surface would be therefore have significant impact on improving the quality of life for catheterised patients. Methods: Presented here is a study into the development of potential antimicrobialcontaining sol-gel coatings to prevent UPEC colonisation and biofilm formation. Broad spectrum biocides and quorum sensing inhibitors (QSI) were evaluated for their potential as anti-infective coating agents both independently and in pairwise combinations to assess synergistic antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity. The impact of long-term biocide/QSI exposure on the bacterial transcriptome and proteome was determined and correlated to changes in bacterial susceptibility impacting overall coating efficacy. Biocides and QSIs were incorporated into a novel sol-gel coating system. Anti-biofilm potential was determined within a continuous culture drip flow reactor model and elution of antimicrobials from the sol-gel coating was determined via mass spectrometry. Results: Biocides and QSIs often displayed synergistic antibiofilm activity. The most promising initial combination of biocide and QSI was PHMB with cinnamaldehyde with regards to high antimicrobial activity and low cytotoxicity, however following incorporation into a sol-gel coating and evaluation in a drip flow model, silver nitrate with cinnamaldehyde demonstrated the best efficacy at reducing of biofilm formation. Long-term exposure to the test biocides and QSI led to a high number of changes within the transcriptome, frequently associated with regulation of motility associated genes, however this was not mirrored in the proteomics data, where fewer significantly differentially expressed proteins were observed. Regarding release of the test agents from the sol-gel coating, the elution of silver nitrate was rapid compared to the elution of BAC which did not elute readily from the coating. Conclusions: In the development of an antimicrobial impregnated catheter coating to prevent UPEC infection, the combination of silver nitrate with cinnamaldehyde demonstrates promise. The combination of silver nitrate with cinnamaldehyde was found to be synergistically antimicrobial, both antimicrobials elute from the coating, rapidly in the case of silver nitrate and slower in the case of cinnamaldehyde, and it was shown to reduce the biofilm formed within a continuous culture drip flow reactor model.
Assessment of the Validity of Assumption of Zero Net Migration in Estimation of Adult Mortality Using Preston Integrated Approach
Authors: Nwogu E. C. , Emmanuel Ohaegbulam , Udo Osuagwu Chidimma
Published: March 2024

This study examines the implication(s) of ignoring net migration in estimation of adult mortality from non-stable population using the Preston [1] integrated method and proposes a method of assessing presence of net migration in a study data. In deriving the model for estimation of adult mortality from non-stable population, Preston [1] has assumed that the study population is closed to migration, that is, the net migration is zero or negligible. However, in most developing countries this assumption is not necessarily true. In this study, the method proposed for assessing the need for adjustment for net migration is the ratio (AF) of the observed  proportion of mid-period population reported as aged x years (c(x,t))  when net migration is not zero to the corresponding proportion when net migration is zero (\(\hat{c}\)(x,t)). The Preston [1] approach to estimation of adult mortality is to relate characteristics of the observed population to some life table functions and using this relationship to obtain estimate of the implied level of adult mortality. The results indicate that when net migration is actually zero, the ratio AF is equal to one and different from one when net migration is not zero. Data on age- sex distribution of populations of three selected developing countries were used to illustrate the methods. It has therefore, been recommended that when this ratio is not one an adjustment should be made for net migration.

This competency-based new curriculum which emphasizes on innovative pedagogical approaches has been in implementation for grade VI and VII throughout Bangladesh since January 2023. A case study on Khulna University School has been carried out to conduct this study. The research questions of this study focus on the challenges relevant to teaching-learning and assessment and how those are affecting students’ learning. To answer the questions classroom observations and semi-structured interviews of the students as well as the teachers were done. Then obtained data were analyzed by using thematic analysis technique from which major themes emerged. This Study finds that the students are facing a number of challenges including difficulties in understanding instruction and assessment criteria, lack of active participation, insufficient class duration and physical facility, irregular feedback etc. This study also finds that both the students and teachers have claimed that as they were not adequately prepared for a full scale implementation, the mentioned challenges are hampering learning by creating learning gaps and widening parental concerns along with financial issues. The findings have implications for the government, policymakers, curriculum developers, school authority, teachers and other stakeholders so that they can minimize the challenges that the students are facing. This study recommends that bottom-up approach, adequate preparatory time, effective curriculum dissemination, teacher training programs, improved learning environment are required for successful implementation of the new curriculum.

Introduction: Lipoprotein (a) is made up of an atherogenic LDL lipoparticle and a potentially thrombogenic apoprotein a and is therefore responsible for cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to evaluate serum lipoprotein (a) status and to investigate the correlation of elevated serum lipoprotein (a) levels with other cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetics.

Materials and Methods: This is a case-control study involving 82 patients, 37 type 2 diabetic patients and 45 non-diabetic control subjects. Sociodemographic data were collected and each patient underwent routine lipid assessment and lipoprotein (a) testing.

Results: The prevalence of hyperlipoproteinemia (a) is 17.8% in control subjects and 29.7% in type 2 diabetics. HDL cholesterolemia is significantly higher in controls than in type 2 diabetics (p =0.028) while LDL cholesterol and serum lipoprotein (a) levels are higher in type 2 diabetics than in controls with a statistically significant difference (p=0.025 and p=0.026 respectively). The mean lipoprotein (a) values ​​of 0.36±0.34 g/l in women are higher than those of male subjects which are 0.28±0.20 g/l (p=0.171). Mean serum lipoprotein (a) levels of 0.39±0.32 g/l in type 2 diabetics are significantly higher than those of controls which are 0.25±0.21 g/l (p= 0.026). Plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a) vary with age and appear to be increased beyond the age of 45. There is no correlation between lipoprotein (a) and other cardiovascular risk factors.

Conclusion: Hyperlipoproteinemia (a) is common in type 2 diabetics and women have the highest plasma levels. Serum lipoprotein (a) concentrations are not correlated with other cardiovascular risk factors and therefore constitute an independent risk factor.

Factors Influencing Customer Switching Intentions in Online Food Delivery: A Perspective of The Push-Pull-Mooring Model
Authors: Nurlinda Raden Ayu , Anam Chairul
Published: March 2024

The online food delivery applications born in the digital era have transformed the habits of users in meeting their needs through these platforms. With the convenience of ordering various cuisines from the comfort of their homes, customers experience significant time and energy savings. In this context, service providers must deliver acceptable service quality; otherwise, customers will swiftly switch to competitors offering better value. This research aims to identify the driving, pulling, and anchoring effects on the intention of customers to switch between online food delivery services, utilizing the Push-Pull-Mooring framework to evaluate the relationships between variables. The study employed Structural Equation Modeling of the Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) type. The research findings indicate that push effects and pull effects have a positive influence on switching intention, while mooring effects do not positively impact switching intention. Furthermore, the study reveals that mooring effects do not moderate the relationship between push effects, pull effects, and switching intention. These evaluation results can serve as guidance for online food delivery companies, assisting them in enhancing their services to build strong relationships with existing customers and attract new ones.

Bu araştırmada, spor bilimleri alanında eğitim alan üniversite öğrencilerinin karar verme stillerinin kariyer stresini yordayıp yordamadığını incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya, Türkiye’de Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi’nde eğitim alan 389 öğrenci (kadın 156, erkek 233, YaşOrt 21.40±2.833, min. 18, mak. 37) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmada, kişisel bilgi formu, Melbourne Karar Verme Ölçeği-II ve Kore Kariyer Stresi Ölçeği veri toplama araçları olarak kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, güvenirlik analizi, t-test, ANOVA ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, bağımsız değişkenlerin birlikte kariyer stresindeki toplam varyansın %21’ini açıkladığı, “panik” ve “dikkatli” karar verme stillerinin kariyer stresi üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, öğrencilerin “panik” karar verme stili uyguladığında kariyer streslerinin arttığı, “dikkatli” karar verme stili uyguladıklarında ise kariyer streslerinin azaldığı söylenebilir. Sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde, öğrencilerin kariyer stresi yaşamaması için panik karar verme stilini en aza indirgemesi, bilinçli ve seçenekleri analiz edip değerlendirerek nihai kararı dikkatli karar verme stili uygulayarak alması önerilmektedir.
Amide‐Based Ligands for Anion Coordination
Authors: Kang Sung Ok , Begum Rowshan Ara , Bowman‐James Kristin
Published: October 2006

Anion recognition is an active area of research in supramolecular chemistry. The rapidly increasing amount of structural data now allows anion coordination chemistry to be formalized in terms of coordination numbers and geometries based on hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the host (ligand) and the guest (anion). This Minireview targets just one class of anion receptors, namely, amide‐based ligands. The structural data for a series of five anion shapes are compiled according to coordination number, and distinct commonalities are observed within a given anion topology. The results also indicate a number of similarities between the coordination of anions and transition‐metal ions.
