The Use of the Bible in Modern Court System: A Critique of the Appropriateness of the Practice
Authors: Nortey Abraham
Published: December 2024

The study examines the practice of using the Bible to swear in the law court. It exposes biblical texts that speak about swearing of oath and taking vows. Since this is an ongoing debate, the paper raises scholarly opinions that support and speak against the practices by examining their theological basis for doing so. The goal of this research is to highlight the consequences associated with swearing with a sacred book considered the words of a just God. The research is a literary one. It uses textual analyses of selected biblical passages and critiques various theological positions on the subject by some selected denominations and theologians to propose a review of the practice. Specific attention will be given to key but controversial biblical passages in Genesis 24: 2-3, Matthew 5:34-37 and James 5:12 on oath- taking that has generated varied responses. The study establishes that for the Bible to be used in court the lawmakers should establish their position on certain biblical laws on crime and their implications by working hand in hand with God-fearing theologians. Once such statements of faith are added to the laws or constitution it will authenticate the need to use the bible to swear. The researcher has observed that since the judgment of court cases do not impinge on the content of the Bible, the practice is not helpful in adjudication. It rather ends up profaning the name of God in case witnesses lie in court. One would therefore propose that those who are occupying office for the first time could swear with the Bible as a way of asking God to help them discharge their functions well.

Kink Instability of Flux Ropes in Partially Ionized Plasmas
Authors: Murtas Giulia , Hillier Andrew , Snow Ben
Published: December 2024

In the solar atmosphere, flux ropes are subject to current-driven instabilities that are crucial in driving plasma eruptions, ejections, and heating. A typical ideal magnetohydrodynamics instability developing in flux ropes is the helical kink, which twists the flux rope axis. The growth of this instability can trigger magnetic reconnection, which can explain the formation of chromospheric jets and spicules, but its development has never been investigated in a partially ionized plasma (PIP). Here, we study the kink instability in PIP to understand how it develops in the solar chromosphere, where it is affected by charge-neutral interactions. Partial ionization speeds up the onset of the nonlinear phase of the instability, as the plasma β of the isolated plasma is smaller than the total plasma β of the bulk. The distribution of the released magnetic energy changes in fully ionized plasma and PIP, with a larger increase in internal energy associated with the PIP cases. The temperature in PIP increases faster also due to heating terms from the two-fluid dynamics. PIP effects trigger kink instability on shorter time scales, which is reflected in more explosive chromospheric flux rope dynamics. These results are crucial to understanding the dynamics of small-scale chromospheric structures—minifilament eruptions—that thus far have been largely neglected but could significantly contribute to chromospheric heating and jet formation.

Investigating the impact of galaxy properties on emergent Lyα emission is crucial for reionization studies, given the sensitivity of Lyα to neutral hydrogen. This study presents an analysis of the physical characteristics of 155 star-forming galaxies, 29 with Lyα detected, and 126 with Lyα not detected with Lyα EW < 20 Å, at z = 1.9–3.5, drawn from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field survey, that have overlapping observations from the Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment survey. To unravel the interstellar medium (ISM) conditions in our sample, we developed a custom nebular line modeling algorithm based on the MAPPINGS V photoionization model grid and the emcee framework. Combining nebular-based ISM properties with photometry-based global properties, constrained via Bagpipes, we explore distinctions in the stellar and gas properties between Lyα-detected and Lyα-nondetected galaxies. Our analysis reveals statistically significant differences between the two samples in terms of stellar mass and dust attenuation (A

V
) at >2σ significance, as determined via a Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Moreover, there are weaker (≲1σ significance) indications that the ionization parameter and metallicity differ between the two samples. Our results demonstrate that the escape fraction of Lyα (

f

esc

Ly
α

) is inversely correlated with stellar mass, star formation rate, and dust attenuation, while it is positively correlated with the ionization parameter, with significance levels exceeding 2σ. Our findings suggest that the interstellar environments of Lyα-detected galaxies, characterized by low mass, low dust, low gas-phase metallicity, and high ionization parameters, play a pivotal role in promoting the escape of Lyα radiation.

Published: December 2024

Variations of the magnetic field within a solar coronal mass ejection (CME) in the heliosphere depend on the CME’s magnetic structure as it leaves the solar corona and its interplanetary evolution. To account for this evolution, we developed a new numerical model of the inner heliosphere that simulates the propagation of a CME through a realistic solar wind background and allows various CME magnetic topologies. To this end, we incorporate the Gibson–Low CME model within our global MHD model of the inner heliosphere, GAMERA-Helio. We apply the model to study the propagation of the geoeffective CME that erupted on 2010 April 3, aiming to reproduce the temporal variations of the magnetic field vector during the CME’s passage by Earth. Parameters of the Gibson–Low CME are informed by STEREO white-light observations near the Sun. The magnetic topology for this CME—the tethered flux rope—is informed by in situ magnetic field observations near Earth. We performed two simulations testing different CME propagation directions. For an in-ecliptic direction, the simulation shows a rotation of all three magnetic field components within the CME, as seen at Earth, similar to that observed. However, the magnitudes of the components, particularly at the back of the CME, are underestimated by the model. With a southward direction, suggested by coronal imaging observations, the B

x
component lacks the observed change from negative to positive. In both cases, the model favors the east–west orientation of the flux rope, consistent with the orientation previously inferred from the images from STEREO/Heliospheric Imager.
Confirming the Tidal Tails of the Young Open Cluster Blanco 1 with TESS Rotation Periods

Published: December 2024

Blanco 1 is an ≈130 Myr open cluster located 240 pc from the Sun, below the Galactic plane. Recent studies have reported the existence of diffuse tidal tails extending 50–60 pc from the cluster center based on the positions and velocities measured by Gaia. To independently assess the reality and extent of this structure, we used light curves generated from TESS full-frame images to search for photometric rotation periods of stars in and around Blanco 1. We detected rotation periods down to a stellar effective temperature of ≈3100 K in 347 of the 603 cluster member candidates for which we have light curves. For cluster members in the core and candidate members in the tidal tails, both within a temperature range of 4400–6200 K, 74% and 72% of the rotation periods, respectively, are consistent with the single-star gyrochronological sequence. In contrast, a comparison sample of field stars yielded gyrochrone-consistent rotation periods for only 8.5% of the stars. The tidal tail candidates’ overall conformance to the core members’ gyrochrone sequence implies that their contamination ratio is consistent with zero and <0.33 at the 2σ level. This result confirms the existence of Blanco 1 tidal tails and doubles the number of Blanco 1 members for which there are both spatio-kinematic and rotation-based cluster membership verification. Extending the strategy of using TESS light curves for gyrochronology to other nearby young open clusters and stellar associations may provide a viable strategy for mapping out their dissolution and broadening the search for young exoplanets.
Electrostatic Solitary Waves in Electronegative Martian Plasma
Authors: Varghese Steffy Sara , Singh Kuldeep , Verheest Frank , Kourakis Ioannis
Published: December 2024

The solar wind interacts with planetary magnetospheres, generating plasma waves in both the upstream region and the magnetospheric environment. Mars, lacking an inherent magnetic field, has an induced magnetosphere formed through solar wind interaction with its ionosphere. These waves are crucial for momentum and energy exchange within the planetary plasma environment. This study focuses on the existence and dynamics of electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) in Martian ionospheric plasma, characterized by various flowing ions. We employ a multifluid plasma model incorporating positive (streaming) ions, negative ions, and two distinct kappa-distributed electron populations to study ESW propagation in the Martian ionosphere from first principles. Linear analysis reveals four distinct modes, including a subsonic mode due to the negative-ion beam. Electrostatic waves may become unstable due to a beam instability excited at long wavelengths. Seeking stationary profile solutions, an energy balance equation is obtained in the moving reference frame, and the shape of the solitary wave can thus be predicted numerically. A meticulous analysis reveals that either positive- or negative-polarity ESWs (or both) may occur (simultaneously) in the Martian environment. In addition to conventional bipolar E-field waveforms, our theoretical model predicts the existence of wiggly bipolar pulses (supersolitary waves) and offset bipolar pulses (flat-top solitary waves) in Martian plasma. Comparison of our model’s predictions with real observational plasma parameters indicates that, like Martian magnetosheath plasma, ionospheric plasma may sustain ESWs measuring several tens of millivolts per meter.
Magnetohydrodynamic Instabilities of Double Magnetic Bands in a Shallow-water Tachocline Model. II. Teleconnection Between High- and Low-latitude Bands and Across Equator

Published: December 2024

The “extended solar cycle” indicates that there are two deeply seated toroidal magnetic field bands in each hemisphere. Both bands migrate equatorward as a sunspot cycle progresses. Here, we examine the consequences of global MHD instability of this migrating double-band system in tachocline on the latitudinal structure of unstable modes, which are essentially MHD Rossby waves. We find that latitude-location, latitude-separation, and the amplitude of the bands strongly influence the latitudinal structure and growth rates of the unstable modes of both symmetries about the equator. These properties can lead to “teleconnections” between low- and high-latitudes in each hemisphere and across the equator. High-latitude bands can destabilize low-latitude bands that would otherwise be stable. Stronger high-latitude bands lead to strong interactions between low and high latitude in each hemisphere, but inhibit cross-equatorial band-interaction. Strong cross-equatorial interactions of modes can synchronize cycle minima in north and south. Symmetric and antisymmetric modes of similar amplitudes can lead to substantial asymmetries between north and south. As a solar cycle progresses, excited MHD Rossby waves go through a sequence of changes in latitude structure and growth rate, while maintaining strong links in latitude. These changes and links are theoretical evidence of teleconnections between widely separated latitudes and longitudes in the Sun, which may explain many of the evolving surface magnetic patterns observed as a solar cycle progresses. The wider the separation between high- and low-latitude bands, the earlier the cross-equatorial teleconnection starts in a cycle, and hence the earlier the cycle starts declining.
Magnetic Diagnostics of Prominence Eruptions through the Hanle Effect of the He i 1083 nm Line
Authors: Molnar Momchil E. , Casini Roberto
Published: December 2024

The magnetic field vector of the solar corona is not regularly and comprehensively being measured because of the complexity and degeneracy inherently present in the types of observations currently available. To address some of the current limitations of coronal polarimetry, we present computations that demonstrate the possibility of magnetometry using the unsaturated Hanle effect of the He i 1083 nm line. The main purpose of this investigation is to show how the linear polarization of this line can be used to routinely diagnose the orientation of the field in erupting prominences, thus providing an important constraint on the B

z
determination at 1 AU. For this work, we adopted a simplified magnetic model of a flux rope, consisting of a toroidal helical structure embedded in a hydrostatically stratified corona. Our results demonstrate the possibility to discern different orientations of the magnetic field vector in such structures under rather general and practicable viewing conditions. In particular, observations from the Sun–Earth Lagrange points are found to provide excellent locations for the deployment of synoptic instruments aiming at the estimation of the magnetic field of Earth-directed coronal mass ejections. We complete our demonstration by showing how a small (∼5 cm) space-borne coronagraph can achieve sufficient signal-to-noise ratios to make the coronal magnetometry goal outlined above feasible.
Asymmetries in the Simulated Ozone Distribution on TRAPPIST-1e due to Orography
Authors: Bhongade Anand , Marsh Daniel R , Sainsbury-Martinez Felix , Cooke Gregory
Published: December 2024

TRAPPIST-1e is a tidally locked rocky exoplanet orbiting the habitable zone of an M dwarf star. Upcoming observations are expected to reveal new rocky exoplanets and their atmospheres around M dwarf stars. To interpret these future observations we need to model the atmospheres of such exoplanets. We configured Community Earth System Model version 2–Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model version 6, a chemistry climate model, for the orbit and stellar irradiance of TRAPPIST-1e assuming an initial Earth-like atmospheric composition. Our aim is to characterize the possible ozone (O3) distribution and explore how this is influenced by the atmospheric circulation shaped by orography, using the Helmholtz wind decomposition and meridional mass streamfunction. The model included Earth-like orography, and the substellar point was located over the Pacific Ocean. For such a scenario, our analysis reveals a north–south asymmetry in the simulated O3 distribution. The O3 concentration is highest at pressures >10 hPa (below ∼30 km) near the south pole. This asymmetry arises from the higher landmass fraction in the northern hemisphere, which causes drag in near-surface flows and leads to an asymmetric meridional overturning circulation. Catalytic species were roughly symmetrically distributed and were not found to be primary driver for the O3 asymmetry. The total O3 column density was higher for TRAPPIST-1e compared to Earth, with 8000 Dobson units (DUs) near the south pole and 2000 DU near the north pole. The results emphasize the sensitivity of O3 to model parameters, illustrating how incorporating Earth-like orography can affect atmospheric dynamics and O3 distribution. This link between surface features and atmospheric dynamics underlines the importance of how changing model parameters used to study exoplanet atmospheres can influence the interpretation of observations.
Are There Black Hole Symbiotic X-Ray Binaries?
Authors: Deng Zhu-Ling , Li Xiang-Dong
Published: December 2024

While there are over a dozen known neutron star (NS) symbiotic X-ray binaries (SyXBs) in the Galaxy, no SyXBs containing a black hole (BH) have been detected. We address this problem by incorporating binary population synthesis and the accretion properties of BHs fed by the wind from red giant companions. We investigate the impact of different supernova mechanisms, kick velocity distributions, and wind velocities on the formation of both NS and BH SyXBs. Our simulations show that the number of BH SyXBs is at most one-sixth of that of NS SyXBs in the Galaxy provided that the common envelope efficiency parameter α ∼ 0.3–5, and less than ∼10 BH SyXBs could be detectable in X-ray, considering their low radiation efficiencies. These findings indicate a scarcity of BH SyXBs in the Galaxy.
A characterization of $ b $-generalized skew derivations on a Lie ideal in a prime ring
Authors: Alshanqiti Omaima , Pandey Ashutosh , Pandey Mani Shankar
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the analysis of $ \mathrm{b} $-generalized skew derivations, denoted as $ \Delta_1 $ and $ \Delta_2 $, within a prime ring $ \mathcal{R} $ with characteristic different from 2. Here, $ \mathcal{Q}_r $ represents the right Martindale quotient ring of $ \mathcal{R} $, and $ \mathcal{C} $ denoted its extended centroid. Additionally, $ \mathcal{L} $ is a noncentral Lie ideal of $ \mathcal{R} $. Assuming $ \Delta_1 $ and $ \Delta_2 $ are nontrivial $ \mathrm{b} $-generalized skew derivations associated with the same automorphism $ \alpha $, the paper aims to explore the detailed structure of these generalized derivations that satisfy the specific equation:

   \begin{document}$ p u \Delta_1(u) + \Delta_1(u) u q = \Delta_2(u^2), \ \text{with} \ p + q \notin \mathcal{C}, \; \; \text{for all } u \in \mathcal{L}. $\end{document}

The above-studied result generalized the already existing results [1,2] in the literature.

Published: December 2024

The gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is a global issue. Despite progress in recent years, significant barriers continue to hinder women's entry and persistence in STEM disciplines. This study examines the multifaceted barriers that prevent women from entering and continuing in STEM disciplines through interviews with high school schoolers. The findings highlight challenges such as gender stereotypes, the lack of role models, and insufficient encouragement from educational environments. The study proposes interventions to increase women's engagement in STEM, including mentoring programs, integration of STEM in early education, and increased institutional support. These recommendations aim to inspire a new generation of women to explore and succeed in STEM fields, thus contributing to a more balanced workforce.
De la performativité dans les lieux de la culture : hybridations réunionnaises entre le slam, le rap et le fonnkèr
Authors: Glâtre Philippe
Published: December 2024

Résumé : À travers l’étude anthropologique comparative des « modernités littéraires alternatives » que sont le slam, le fonnkèr, pratique poétique orale réunionnaise, et en filigrane, le rap, cet article vise à comprendre les processus transculturels qui se jouent dans ces formes contemporaines. En réfléchissant depuis La Réunion sur un corpus de performances, d’entretiens, d’observations participantes et d’affiches, nous verrons en quoi ces hybridations comportent une dimension performative qui s’articule autour de la langue, des canons poétiques et de ce que Homi Bhabha appelle les « lieux de la culture ». Si elles sont souvent reléguées au rang de pratiques subalternes, ces poésies orales favorisent l’émergence des minorités en engageant des pratiques qui réarticulent cultures lettrées et populaires. Elles font ainsi place à des énonciations féminines, tout en se distinguant les unes des autres sur les questions postcoloniales qui sont au cœur du discours du fonnkèr. Par des procédés stylistiques et rythmiques dans lesquels on perçoit une intention à la fois performancielle et performative, elles instaurent également un rapport autant ludique que conflictuel avec les canons poétiques français. Leurs divergences de positionnement vis-à-vis du fait urbain, enfin, indiquent des rapports différents aux espaces où se joue une négociation entre visibilité et authenticité.
romance: text and intermedial performance in Gabriel Rui Silva
Authors: Guerreiro Dias Sandra
Published: December 2024

Abstract: romance (1982-) is an intermedial poem by Gabriel Rui Silva, a Portuguese experimental writer. This unfinished work composes a radical exploration of multimodal and performative potentialities of text and visual performance. In this article, I aim to study its iterations from written text as total medium to performance art. I thus analyze the diverse embodiments of the poem trough its performances in a variety of site-specific contexts addressing the experimental performances of Gabriel Rui Silva as a field of discursive and performative experimentation between text and body, towards a performative epistemology of language.
Revisiting Kilns Typologies to Reconstruct Firing Traditions Transformations
Authors: Padovani Claire
Published: December 2024

Pyrotechnology remains underexplored in prehistoric societies, with limited documentation on kilns and firing techniques. Traditional typologies often emphasized efficiency as the main driver of kiln transformation, overlooking the social dynamics involved. This paper challenges this perspective by proposing a new methodology that distinguishes between the technical design and the morphology of firing structures and deconstructs each firing structure into its component parts, offering a deeper understanding of their operation. Focusing on the superposed-chamber kilns of Early Chalcolithic Southwest Asia, this paper examines two key examples: Kiln 345 from Yarim Tepe II (Halaf cultural horizon) and Kiln 14 from Tell el’Uwaili (Ubaid 1 cultural horizon). By analysing these kilns in context, we aim to uncover differences in morphology and firing process. Furthermore, by tracing the spread of morpho-structural Halaf and Ubaid kilns’ elements during the Middle Chalcolithic period, the study reveals that kiln morphology did not standardise, but rather diversified through selective borrowings of specific morphological traits between different communities of potters. However, the study also demonstrates that regional Early Chalcolithic firing traditions were persistent, highlighting the complex interplay between innovation and tradition in the development of firing practices.
Representações e orientações do movimento sindical face ao trabalho e ativismo feminino em Portugal, 1850-1926
Authors: Pereira Joana Dias
Published: December 2024

A relação entre classe e género tem sido alvo de inúmeros estudos na literatura internacional. Em Portugal, porém, é um tópico pouco estudado. Este artigo trata da emergência de um novo repertório de ação coletiva feminina durante a industrialização portuguesa e as consequentes representações e orientações sindicais sobre a mulher trabalhadora. Baseia-se no escrutínio da imprensa operária e das teses aprovadas nos congressos sindicais organizados entre 1890 e 1926. Este artigo conclui que as mulheres trabalhadoras desafiaram o papel social e a sobre-exploração que lhes era imposta, induzindo representações e orientações contraditórias no seio do movimento operário, no qual, a par da resistência à participação associativa das mulheres, se identificam manifestações de solidariedade e de articulação entre as lutas masculinas e femininas. O aprofundamento desta análise é fundamental para ultrapassar simplificações e compreender o papel da mulher e da feminização do trabalho no processo de emergência do movimento operário em Portugal.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused chaos and disruption worldwide, there is one area where artificial intelligence (AI) is showing potential as a powerful tool: combatting the virus. As the pandemic has forced thousands of individuals to transition to remote work arrangements, there has been a surge in the use of AI. It is crucial that decisions on how to promote the well-being of workers who are working from home (WAH) are made based on qualitative research. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the impact of WAH on mental and physical health, potential gender inequalities, and provide helpful suggestions for employers and employees on ways to enhance their overall health. In the midst of this, the collection of vast amounts of data on individuals' contagiousness has also become a critical area of focus.

The Ontological Choreography of Conservation Practice at a Marine Turtle Rookery in India
Authors: Ramesh Madhuri
Published: December 2024

The Rushikulya beach in eastern India is considered to be an important rookery (nesting site) for a species of migratory marine turtle, the olive ridleys Lepidochelys olivacea, because it is one of a handful of sites around the world where an arribada or mass-nesting event occurs. During an arribada, thousands of ridleys nest simultaneously over a small section of the beach, and several weeks later, millions of hatchlings emerge from these nests and crawl into the sea. Given the uniqueness of this phenomenon, conservation programmes have emphasised the monitoring and protection of ridleys during an arribada. In Rushikulya, this involves an assemblage of multiple actors, including biologists, their local assistants, and staff of the Odisha Forest Department. In this article, I use the concept of ontological choreography, drawn from multispecies scholarship, to focus attention on how members of this assemblage bring together different ontological orders, mainly nature and the individual self, to protect the ridleys. Further, I use this concept to direct attention to the hybrid nature of conservation practice—that it can simultaneously be affective, embodied, performative, sensory and technical. Overall, this article demonstrates how multispecies approaches can enrich social studies of conservation.
Leading Pharmacists Who Experience Patient Loss

Health care providers, at some point in their careers, will experience grief and loss of a patient. Grief is a natural response that many people experience, especially working in those fields such as community pharmacy, hospitals, hospice, and others. Pharmacists serve as community
leaders and need to be properly trained early on how to deal with grief and loss both personally and within their teams. Pharmacist leaders can lead their team through hard times by developing a toolbox of skills. These skills include emotional intelligence, communication, and leadership skills
to work through personal grief.
Examining the impact of Anticholinergic Burden on Hospitalized Older People Receiving Concomitant Cholinesterase inhibitors
Authors: Guan Jiajie , Noviasky John , Watanabe Jonathan H.
Published: December 2024

Background: Cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors enhance central cholinergic function and are considered as standard treatments to ameliorate symptoms relating to Alzheimer’s disease. Though anticholinergic medications directly antagonize the effects of ChE inhibitors, they
are commonly prescribed among hospitalized adults. Objective: To determine the impact of high anticholinergic burden (ACB) on length of stay (LOS) and 30-day readmission rates among hospitalized patients receiving concomitant ChE inhibitors. Methods: This
was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary care academic medical center involving hospitalized patients on medical floors who received any Food and Drug Administration-approved ChE inhibitors during their hospital stay from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023. The primary
outcome of the study was to compare hospital LOS among patients with high (ACB ≥ 3) versus low (ACB < 3) ACB. The secondary outcome was to assess the impact of ACB burden on 30-day readmission rates. Results: Among hospitalized adults, patients with high ACB exposure
had a significantly longer hospital LOS (median: 5.50 vs 4.25 days; P < 0.001) than patients with low ACB exposure, after adjusting for covariates. Analysis of secondary outcome revealed that though the high ACB group had a higher 30-day readmission rate compared with the lower ACB
group (6.8% vs. 2.2%), the difference was not statistically significant (OR = 3.46, 95% CI 0.85-14.08; P = 0.083). Conclusion: A high ACB exposure among older individuals taking concurrent ChE inhibitors is associated with a longer hospital stay.

Czułość tłumacza / czułość poety. „Wyczucie translatorskie” w refleksjach polskich poetów emigracyjnej grupy „Kontynenty”
Authors: Luboń Arkadiusz
Published: December 2024

The article aims to discuss the idea of “czułość” in poetry translations. Since the polysemic Polish word “czułość” denotes several different concepts ‒ “tenderness” in particular, but also “sensitivity”, “sense”, “intuition”, “fondness” or “responsivity” – it is frequently used in the deliberations of Polish translators discussing a variety of issues related to interlinguistic transfer of literary works. The article focuses on remarks provided by the émigré writers associated with the London “Kontynenty” group (Andrzej Busza, Bogdan Czaykowski, Adam Czerniawski, Jan Darowski, Janusz Artur Ihnatowicz, Zygmunt Ławrynowicz, Florian Śmieja, Bolesław Taborski, Gustaw Radwański and, to a lesser extent, Jerzy Pietrkiewicz). They refer to the idea mainly to analyse four aspects of poetry translation: “empathy” between translator and author of the original, “aptitude” for writing poetry, extraordinary linguistic “competence” in both source and target languages, and, last but not least, the in-depth knowledge of literary history that increases the “sensitized” translator’s awareness of intertextual and stylistic links between the translated text and literary canon.
Czułe membrany. Przekodowania terminologiczne jako problem translatorski
Authors: Leśniewska Anna
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to present the use of Juri Lotman’s semiotic tools to reflect on the process of translating scientific texts. The article focuses on a text of a special type – an ethnographic material by Eugeniusz Frankowski (1884–1962), a Polish ethnologist of the interwar period. The outbreak of World War I found him in Spain – during his time, he wrote several texts in Spanish, Portuguese and Basque, including the work La lucha entre el hombre y los espíritus malos por la posesión de la tierra y su usufructo (translated by the author into Polish as “Zmagania człowieka ze złymi duchami o posiadanie ziemi i jej użytkowanie”). Research fluctuations (both terminological and methodological) are evident in the very “texture” of the text, so translating La lucha… into Polish required sensitivity to the mechanisms occurring at the confluence of biographical and textual levels. Using semiotic tools, the author reveals a series of research, textual, and methodological uncertainties for the researcher, resulting from the need to use different scientific languages (Polish, Spanish, French, German, etc.) to describe the newly explored terrain. This is because the awareness of the existence of these uncertainties sensitizes the very work of the translator, who is both an archaeologist, fleshing out successive levels of meaning, and a creator, co-thinking with Lotman’s notion of text as a “generator of meanings”.
Czułość wobec tłumaczy. Trado autorstwa Atheny Farrokhzad, Svetlany Cârstean, Justyny Czechowskiej i Joanny Kornaś-Warwas
Authors: Skoczyńska Maria
Published: December 2024

Athena Farrokhzad and Svetlana Cârstean’s unusual translation experiment, translated by Justyna Czechowska and Joanna Kornaś-Warwas, takes a unique place in the light of translation studies, showing the position of the translator anew through a poetic dialogue that transcends language and culture. It is an attitude not only of tenderness towards or empathy with language, but – perhaps above all – of tenderness towards the translator. It is also a play between female poets-translators-representatives of different cultures with theorists and critics of translation. This dialogue simultaneously undermines translation in its classical sense – the two poets translate each other without knowing the other’s language, and two Polish female translators translate this into Polish. The article looks at how this intertextual acrobatics challenges established divisions of intertextuality, blurring the boundaries of what is translation and what is the translator’s affect and affect towards the translator. It also draws attention to the relevance of the blurring of boundaries between authors – female lyrical persona-translators, and urges a new, responsive approach towards translators and their works - proposing new models and definitions of translation in the form of a tender translation manifesto based on a sisterhood.
Tłumaczka, przypis, los. Sara – Irena – Elżbieta Elżbiety Tabakowskiej
Authors: Kuczyńska-Koschany Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

The piece is a discussion on roles of a translator and a reader, based on Elżbieta Tabakowska’s book titled Sara – Irena – Elżbieta (2020). Irena Powell’s book, Córka, która sprzedała matkę. Wspomnienia rodzinne (2020), polonized by Tabakowska, remains the main point of reference. The object of contemplation is the encounter of two identities: the translator and the author of the translated book.
