Проблемные аспекты перевода развернутых метафор в политическом дискурсе (на материале английского языка)
Authors: Кузнецова В.Ю. , Воробьев А.Е.
Published: October 2024

данная статья посвящена рассмотрению особенностей перевода развернутых метафор в текстах политической направленности. Доказывается, что перевод метафор вызывает ряд сложностей, т.к. неверное истолкование переводчиком всех «скрытых» смыслов может привести к неправильному переводу и искажению оригинальной идеи и смысла. Актуальность данной темы обусловлена тем, что на современном этапе развития общества появляется очень много материалов, требующих качественного перевода, тем не менее не так много работ, посвященных сопоставительному анализу переводов метафорических образов в политическом дискурсе с последующим анализом перцепции данных образов переводчиками. Отмечается, что культурный уровень переводчиков, их эрудиция и понимание целевой аудитории в значительной степени влияет на выбор конкретных переводческих стратегий. Представленные в исследовании примеры сопровождаются комментариями и будут полезны начинавшим переводчикам.

this article is devoted to the features of the translation of detailed metaphors in a political text. It is proved that the translation of metaphors can cause a number of difficulties, because incorrect interpretation of translators of all “hidden” meanings can lead to incorrect translation and distortion of the original idea and meaning. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that at the present stage of the development of society there are a lot of materials requiring high-quality translation, however, there are not so many works devoted to a comparative analysis of translation of metaphorical images in political discourse, followed by analysis of these images of translators. It is noted that the cultural level of translators, their knowledge and understanding of the target audience largely affect the choice of specific translation strategies. The examples presented in the study are accompanied by comments and will regenerate beginner translators. Keywords: extended metaphors, translation, cultural context, transformations

Теоретико-прикладные проблемы квалификации деяний, выраженных в занятии высшего положения в преступной иерархии
Authors: Николаев И.С.
Published: October 2024

статья посвящена проблемным вопросам, возникающим в теории и практике в связи с квалификацией деяний, выраженных в занятии высшего положения в преступной иерархии. Введение в 2019 году в Уголовный кодекс Российской Федерации нового состава преступления, предусмотренного статьёй 210.1 УК РФ, научное сообщество восприняло неоднозначно, что связано с недостаточной ясностью формулировки данной нормы. Диспозиция статьи не содержит детальной регламентации дефиниции «лицо, занимающее высшее положение в преступной иерархии», не определяет структуру и уровни подобных иерархий (федеральный, региональный, районный и т.п.), что влечет отсутствие единой практики ее применения. Особое внимание уделяется особенностям субъекта и объективной стороны указанного состава преступления. Проводится сопоставление изначального замысла законодателя относительно введения данной нормы с фактическим результатом её применения. Сделан вывод: в целом рассматриваемый состав преступления является новаторским для российского уголовного права, так как подразумевается привлечение лица к ответственности за сам факт наличия высокого преступного статуса. Данное обстоятельство противоречит нормам УК РФ, так как согласно статье 14 УК РФ преступлением признается виновно совершенное общественно опасное деяние, запрещенное Уголовным кодексом РФ под угрозой наказания.

the article is devoted to problematic issues arising in theory and practice in connection with the qualification of acts expressed in occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy. The introduction of a new corpus delicti in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in 2019, provided for in Article 210.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, was ambiguously perceived by the scientific community, which is due to the lack of clarity of the wording of this norm. The disposition of the article does not contain a detailed regulation of the definition of "a person occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy", does not define the structure and levels of such hierarchies (federal, regional, district, etc.), which entails the absence of a unified practice of its application. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of the subject and the objective side of the specified corpus delicti. The comparison of the original intention of the legislator regarding the introduction of this norm with the actual result of its application is carried out. The conclusion is made: in general, the considered corpus delicti is innovative for Russian criminal law, since it implies bringing a person to responsibility for the very fact of having a high criminal status. This circumstance contradicts the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, since according to Article 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, a culpably committed socially dangerous act prohibited by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation under threat of punishment is recognized as a crime.

Educação e formação: valores e mediação de mundos na Angola colonial
Authors: Silva Lúcia Helena Oliveira
Published: October 2024

A entrada dos missionários espiritanos em Angola a partir da segunda metade do século XIX buscou apoiar a presença portuguesa nos territórios no processo de colonização. Entretanto, para conhecer e desenvolver o processo era necessário entender os mundos e um trabalho de mediação foi desenvolvido por diversos religiosos que estudaram costumes e formas de vivência entre os diversos grupos autóctones de formação bantu que privilegia a oralidade dada pelos saberes tradicionais. A escola nestes saberes não se circunscrevia em um lugar geográfico especifico e a hierarquia familiar era respeitada. Estes valores passam a ser contestados direta e indiretamente com a presença de novos costumes e o processo de europeização que tem quem se adaptar a uma maioria de outras culturas. Nosso interesse foi analisar os processos de educacionais feitos nas missões católicas e protestantes no contexto de resistência e permanência da escravização ilegal.
As Diásporas Africanas: encontros e reencontros aos desafios da África que esperamos
Authors: Jovita João Baptista de
Published: October 2024

Na história da humanidade, a África contribuiu de forma decisiva na formação das sociedades, manutenção e revolução de culturas e invenções diversas, dentro e fora do seu espaço territorial, através de suas diásporas. Entretanto, é notória a marginalização e o empobrecimento propositado em todas as escalas e contextos. Ao contrário do que ocorreu na África pós-independências, o contexto da educação brasileira sinalizou positivamente quando instituiu a Lei 10.639/03, instrumento indispensável para o ensino da história da África e da cultura afrobrasileira, que completa 20 anos. O artigo se propõe a uma pesquisa qualitativa e bibliográfica para analisar as contribuições intelectuais à luz do nacionalismo africano, durante as independências, refletir os seus impactos e os desafios que transcorrem a África e suas diásporas na combinação e revitalização de instituições que garantam suas soberanias e projeção internacional. Os exemplos que confirmam a contribuição africana na arte, ciência e tecnologia se somam aos desafios inerentes à contemporaneidade que se traduzem em revoluções e crises diversas, bem como a fuga em massa de cérebros. Sob espectro, eis a reflexão sobre a África que esperamos.

Published: October 2024

Phytopathogenic fungi are a group of organisms that cause diseases in plants through disturbances in their cellular metabolism. They have major impacts on agriculture, accounting for 8 - 40% of the losses in world agricultural production. Meanwhile, microalgae synthesize a wide variety of allelopathic chemicals and can be used for different biocidal purposes, including antifungal. The objective of this study was to review the antifungal activity of microalgal extracts and their compounds against phytopathogenic fungi. This systematic review of the literature was conducted using SciELO, PubMed, and Periódicos Capes (Scopus). Following the search, 25 articles published in English and Portuguese were selected. Several publications will be recorded from 2015 to 2022. Eight microalgal phyla (Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanobacteria, Haptophyta, Miozoa, Ochrophyta, Prasinodermatophyta, and Rhodophyta) were detected, with Chlorophyta and Cyanobacteria having the highest number of registered publications. The most tested species of phytopathogenic fungi were Aspergillus niger and Botrytis cinerea. Regarding the categorized inhibition classification for the assays, high inhibition was observed in 31.26% of the trials. Studies performed with cyanobacterial species showed a higher proportion of high inhibition (41.36%) of phytopathogens. Given the high degree of biodiversity of microalgae and their wide range of associated bioactive molecules, this is a vast field to explore for novel biopesticides with antifungal potential.

The Irani River Basin, located in the Hydrographic Region – RH2, in the mid-west of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, is an important source of water for the region. The objective of this study is to evaluate the morphometric, environmental, and land use characterization of the Irani River Basin through data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), the MapBiomas project, the Environmental Information Bank – BDia from IBGE, and the Product MERGE-INPE/CPTEC with the aid of ArcGIS Pro software. It was sought to determine the permanence flows Q98, minimum flow Q7.10, maximum flow QMAX.10, and long-term flow QMLT with data from hydroweb ANA using the SisCAH 1.0 software. The Irani River Basin is 1599.88 km², with the main river measuring 198.35 km, considered 6th order. The average altitude of the basin is 823.26 m, and approximately 91.5% of the basin has a slope lower than 45%. The basin had a drainage density of 1.77 km/km², a shape factor of 0.04 m/m, a compactness coefficient of 2.39, and a river density of 0.43, indicating that the basin has an elongated and good configuration. water drainage capacity, therefore, a basin is not subject to major floods. Land use data showed that in the last 30 years there has been a significant increase in urbanized areas as well as soybean planting, in contrast, there has been a decrease in agricultural and pasture areas. Also noteworthy is an increase of approximately 3.6% in the area of forest formation in the last 30 years.

Authors: Strauss Ruziele de Quadros Sandri , Aguilar Marcos Vinícius Miranda , Valsoler Daniel Vinicios , Azevedo Tais Dorneles de , Tabaldi Luciane Almeri
Published: October 2024

The use of medicinal plants is a common alternative for the population. However, many of these plants grow in tropical and subtropical soils around the world contaminated with toxic metals such as aluminum (Al). Excess Al accumulation in plant tissues can enter the food chain of animals and humans causing irreversible harm. A possible strategy is to use elements capable of mitigating the uptake or the effects of toxic metals. Thus, this study aimed to assess whether silicone (Si) and selenium (Se) mitigate Al toxicity on morphological and biochemical variables of Pfaffia glomerata. Plants were submitted to the following combinations of Al, Si and Se: 1) Control; 2) 1.85 mM Al; 3) 1.5 mM Si; 4) 1.85 mM Al + 1.5 mM Si; 5) 0.002 mM Se; 6) 1.85 mM Al + 0.002 mM Se. The experimental design was completely randomized with four replications. At the end of the period of exposure to the treatments, we analyzed the morphological variables (shoot and root dry weight, leaf area and root morphology) and biochemical variables (photosynthetic pigments, hydrogen peroxide content, lipid peroxidation and guaiacol peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in plants). Aluminum toxicity affected the growth of P. glomerata and only Si was able to reverse the toxic action of Al, especially in shorter exposure periods. However, Se did not show potential to significantly inhibit the toxic effects of Al.

Published: October 2024

O pagamento por serviços ambientais (PSA) é um mecanismo de política pública, que combina e determina práticas para a conservação ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável. No entanto, o PSA de bacias hidrográficas, pouco utilizado no Brasil, permite ampliar a efetividade em quatro aspectos: custos do programa, adicionalidade, perdas ou excessos de mensuração, bem como a prestação real de serviços ambientais. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar os aspectos relativos ao pagamento por serviços ambientais em bacias hidrográficas. A metodologia utilizada para realizar este estudo foi selecionada com o intuito de analisar os critérios de seleção de fontes de pesquisa em documentos disponíveis na web, especificamente em plataformas como SciELO e ScienceDirect com o período do levantamento das produções científicas de 2005 até 2021, verificando a frequência destes termos em pesquisas da área. Observou-se um aumento temporal na publicação dos artigos acerca da temática de PSA, sendo possível identificar potencialidades do pagamento por serviços ambientais para gestão de bacias hidrográficas. Assim, o estudo forneceu novas abordagens para analisar as lacunas de pesquisa e contribuir para melhorar o entendimento sobre o potencial do PSA e sua integração em diversos cenários problematizados nos artigos científicos.
As Light as a Whale: Roberto Abbiati’s Una tazza di mare in tempesta and the Presence of Moby-Dick in Contemporary Italian Arts
Authors: Bellini Federico
Published: October 2024

Ever since Cesare Pavese’s pioneering 1932 translation of Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, Italy has proven particularly receptive to Herman Melville’s masterpiece, which has not only been enthusiastically loved by generations of readers and stimulated the interest and acumen of local Americanists, but has also inspired an extensive number of Italian writers and artists. The first part of this article sketches a provisional map of some of the most recent examples of Moby-Dick’s reception in the Italian arts. These range from Simona Mulazzani’s dreamy etchings of tatooed whales and Giovanni Robustelli’s delicate watercolors to Sara Filippi Plotegher’s environmentally-inspired illustrations and designer Matteo Ugolini’s Moby-Dick lamps. These works shed light on some of the meanings typically associated with Melville’s work and how they have changed over the last two decades. In particular, I intend to show how the understanding of Melville’s work has recently shifted from the somber and grave tone of early twentieth-century interpretations and rewritings – when it was all about tragedy, darkness, sacrifice, and folly – to the lighter tone of more recent admirers.
Building on this shift, this essay investigates one of the most successful recent transmedial adaptations of Moby-Dick: Roberto Abbiati’s play Una tazza di mare in tempesta (A Sea Storm in a Teacup). This adaptation distills Moby-Dick into a seventeen-minute show performed for a very small audience within a wooden box that simulates the hold of a tiny ship. In fact, Abbiati manages to evoke the whole drama by using figurines and found objects, as well as by selecting with scalpel-like precision key passages from the novel. Abbiati has also published a beautiful and singular graphic novel adaptation of Moby-Dick, summarizing each chapter of the book with only one drawing. Abbiati’s works are evidence of the enduring vitality of Melville’s presence in contemporary Italian art and offer the opportunity to appreciate the lighter dimensions of Moby-Dick.
Monsters or Victims An Ecocritical Reading of Samson and Sally and Dot and the Whale, Retellings of Moby Dick
Authors: Bandyopadhyay Nibedita
Published: October 2024

The paper aims to explore two animations, Samson and Sally (1984) and Dot and the Whale (1986), through the lens of zoocriticism (Huggan and Tiffin) and ecocinematic analysis to show how the directors have presented the alternative version of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick in order to showcase the crises of cetaceans like whale in the present scenario of the global warming, pollution and various anthropogenic damages. Unlike many popular Hollywood movies, these two animated films do not portray whales as monsters. In many popular Hollywood ventures, we can see the representations of vengeful bloodthirsty sea creatures like sharks and whales causing shipwrecks and killing humans, just like Moby Dick did in Melville. However, Samson and Sally and Dot and the Whale propose a different version of Moby Dick, where Moby Dick is portrayed as a saviour of the whale race under the threats of whaling, oil spills, and rising temperature. Samson and Sally is a bildungsroman as it depicts the journey of a young whale in search of the mythical Moby Dick who can only save his clan from whalers who have killed his mother and other relatives. Dot and the Whale, on the other hand, points such issues like the beaching of whales and their exploitation for oil and other resources. These two animations have presented an accurate picture where animals are not presented as monsters but rather victims of human greed. Although these animations are in the anthropomorphised version, they are created to raise human awareness to protect cetaceans and marine life.

Authors: Henry Julius , Lie Anita , Esti Christina
Published: October 2024

The increasingly fierce competition conditions pose its own problems for hospitals, namely how hospitals operate effectively and efficiently in order to survive and develop. The factor that needs attention from the hospital management is the desire of the patient to move to another hospital service or known as switching intention. Therefore, hospital management is required to be able to effectively manage all resources and, especially in the field of technology, so that hospital profitability does not fall. One form of technology utilization that is being widely developed for the health and hospital fields is telemedicine. This study was conducted with the aim of knowing and analyzing effect of telemedicine and service quality towards switching intention with patient satisfaction and patient trust as intervening variables. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive research method with a causal approach, with a sample of 335 respondents. Based on research findings, it is proven that there is a positive and significant influence of telemedicine on satisfaction and trust, service quality on inpatient satisfaction and trust, and there is a negative and significant influence of patient satisfaction and trust on switching intention at Class C Private General Hospitals in South Kalimantan. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the use of telemedicine between the hospital through doctors and patients or patients' families so that they can communicate online. Improvement in service quality also needs to be maintained and improved so that this can increase patient satisfaction and trust in the hospital.
The relationship between firm life cycle and firm financial distress: Empirical evidence from listed firms in Vietnam
Authors:   Banking Academy of Vietnam, Dương Ngân Hà
Published: October 2024

The paper aims to study the relationship between the life cycle and financial distress of firms. I used data from 721 listed companies on the Stock exchange of Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi, during the period from 2008 to 2022. Regression analysis using the Logit model and fixed-effect method is employed to examine the impact of the life cycle on financial distress. The research results indicate the existence of differences in financial distress across different stages of the life cycle. Compared to the mature stages, companies in the startup, growth and decline stages are more likely to experience financial difficulties. Additionally, the study also identifies the positive impact of cash flow from financial activities on financial distress. Based on these results, I propose some suggestions to stabilize the financial situation of firms according to each stage of the life cycle.

Published: October 2024

Consumer credit is a crucial sector within the financial system, contributing to economic growth and improving quality of life. In Vietnam, consumer credit has grown by an average of 20% over the past five years. However, it still faces challenges such as bad debt rising, the growth of informal credit, and unofficial lending platforms, which pose risks to the financial system. This article uses documents analysis and comparative research to assess the state of consumer credit in Vietnam from 2019 to 2023, highlighting achievements such as the expansion of formal credit while pointing out limitations, particularly the increase in bad debt among financial companies due to ineffective management and lack of transparency. Based on the analysis, this article offers recommendations to enhance oversight, improve the regulatory framework, and develop flexible and secure credit products to foster sustainable consumer credit growth, contributing to financial inclusion in Vietnam in the context of globalizations.

Since 2019, the world has known a global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. The epidemic was spreading very fast and many precautions should be respected to fight the disease. In order to limit the CVID-19 spread, different ways can be adopted. Social distancing is one of the most important cautions that should be respected. It means keeping a safe social distance between persons in order to avoid COVID-19 contagion. The social distance is about one meter at least. Building new tools used to perform social distance system present a very challenging task.
We propose in this paper to build a social distancing system based on one-stage neural networks. The proposed system is developed based on an improved version FCOS model. In order to ensure an embedded implementation of the proposed work, we used EfficientNet v1 as a network backbone and we applied compression techniques to reduce the model complexity and computation resources. The inference stage of the model has been performed on a  ZCU 102 board. Training and testing experiments have demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed work in terms of accuracy as well as processing time.

Published: October 2024

The metal binder jetting (MBJ) process is a powder bed-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) process, which is attracting growing interest. In this process, a liquid binder deposited by a print head bonds the powder particles to create so-called green parts. For a reliable metal binder jetting process, the metal powder must have a high quality. The morphology and particle size distribution have a major influence on the flowability and sinterability of the material. In this work, the aging process is observed particularly regarding the slightly disappearing fine fraction during the process. A practical method is presented to reliably detect the ageing process of the powder. In addition, a method is developed to stop or curb ageing to support constant printing conditions. The experiments are conducted using 17-4PH stainless steel. Several properties of powders and parts are analysed such as particle size distribution, green part density, powder bed density and dimensional tolerances.

Authors: Andersson Michael , Johansson Pernilla , Heinrich Heike
Published: October 2024

Sinter hardening is a cost efficient manufacturing process for press and sinter. At the same time material selection is crucial to make sure sufficient hardenability is reached. By selecting a higher alloyed material, hardenability can easily be satisfied, however this also increases the material cost. Thus, it’s interesting to be able to optimize the composition. In this paper the potential to use Astaloyâ CrS, a newly developed lean chromium grade, is investigated for sinter hardening with different combinations with nickel and graphite. \nA model is presented, where the cooling rates for sinter hardening conditions are calculated and combined with a calculation of the martensite transformation from a Time Temperature Transformation diagram (TTT). It’s demonstrated how the martensite content after heat treatment can be estimated by taking factors such as material composition, component size and quenching conditions into account. The calculated results are also compared with experiments in the paper. In the end, the tool can help making sure a component is properly hardened while optimizing the material composition cost.

Published: October 2024

Laser ablation is a proven method for post-processing fabrication, surface texturing, and micromachining hardmetal tools. In this regard, dimensional accuracy and surface integrity of shaped features are expected to depend on both processing parameters and microstructural assemblage. However, detailed information about such correlations is limited, especially concerning practical and cost-effective methods like short-pulse laser ablation. This study addresses this gap by shaping microfeatures on cemented carbide surfaces with different microstructures. In doing so, distinct laser processing parameters are optimized to accurately shape microdimples and through-thickness microgrooves. Advanced characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy and digital image correlation, are employed to investigate the surface integrity of these features. Results revealed that laser parameter alterations affect the geometry and dimensions of induced flaws more than a difference in microstructural characteristics. By elevating the input energy level on the surface through an increase in the number of passes and fluence, the depth of laser-formed defects can be significantly rised.
