Lexical Challenges of Translating Arabic Legal Texts into English among University Graduates
Authors: Alshunnag Mo'tasim-Bellah , Dakamsih Nusaibah , Aldohon Lana 
Published: December 2024

This paper sheds light on the lexical challenges university graduate translators face when rendering Arabic legal texts into English. It seeks particularly to examine the impact of lexical peculiarities of legal language in attaining the desired legal effect in the TT since the lack of these lexical ones leads to create significant legal translation obstacles. The paper analyses qualitatively and quantitively the translations of five Arabic legal texts into English by (20) graduate students from Jadara University, Jordan grounded on Šarčević’s model of functional equivalence and lexical features of legal language. The study has revealed that the eminent lexical challenges noticed in this particular area are signalled by the pervasiveness of partial legal equivalence followed by the near legal equivalence. Furthermore, the absence of formality, synonyms, highly specialized terms and inappropriate equivalence are found to create a major lexical barrier to rendering Arabic legal documents into English. In contrast, the absence of proper modality, couplings, and archaic terms are proven to play a minor role in complicating this task. The said lexical challenges are proven to contribute enormously to the distortion of the desired legal effect in the TT, notably associated with the obliviousness to the lexical conventions and technicality peculiar to legal language, high dependency on machine, literal translation in conjunction with a noticeable semantic and linguistic incompetence in the language involved. Additionally, Šarčević’s functional equivalence is noticed to be of a reasonably potential utility for choosing the fitting legal equivalence in this arena.

Published: December 2024

This article presents the results of an interdisciplinary study on respondents' linguistic profiles in relation to their ethnic and religious identities. The research focuses on how ideologemes about religion are perceived in a multilingual and multiethnic society. Since the 1990s, with the onset of sovereign development, societal values related to cultural mapping have shifted. Multilingualism, multiethnicity, and religious diversity contribute to a range of perspectives, leading to both consensus and disagreement. Discussions and communication practices reveal diverse views on key social developments, including the role and influence of religion. The study aimed to identify the linguistic and sociolinguistic profiles of respondents in their perception of religious ideologemes. Conducted at the intersection of sociolinguistics, religious studies, and sociology, the research analyzed sociological survey data and established correlations (using SPSS) between respondents’ connotations of religion and their complex self-identification (ethnic, linguistic, and religious) (N = 1800). Demarcations in understanding religion’s influence and its role were identified in both public and expert consciousness (N = 107). The study employed interdisciplinary sociocultural methods, including discourse analysis, content analysis, correlation analysis, census data analysis, comparative methods, and theoretical reconstruction. This approach allowed the researchers to establish links between the connotations of religion and respondents' multidimensional self-identification, while identifying their linguistic and sociolinguistic typological profiles and value-based distinctions. The findings may be of interest to researchers in contemporary sociolinguistics, the sociology of mass consciousness, and identity studies.

Authors: Kayapinar Ulas , Erkir Sarp 
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of mobile learning on writing achievement using tablet PCs. It used a pretest-posttest control group design to assess the effect at a private university in Türkiye. The study involved 55 students and two instructors who volunteered to participate. A 16-week tablet-assisted language learning (TALL) material was used for the treatment group while the control group was instructed in a regular way of using a coursebook pack and a notebook. A validated writing achievement test was used to collect data. To reveal a potential difference between the pretest and posttest results of the groups, a non-parametric equivalent to the t-test for dependent samples, Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks test was employed. To reveal a potential difference between posttest results of the groups, a non-parametric equivalent to the t-test for independent samples, Mann-Whitney U test was employed. In addition, some descriptive statistics were calculated to support the results. The findings revealed that TALL made a significant change in students’ achievement scores in EFL writing; however, the treatment group scores were not statistically and significantly higher than the control group scores based on comparison of both groups’ posttest scores. The findings show that TALL can impact educational practices by replacing traditional classroom practice if need be.
Translingual Practices in Digital Environments: A Five-Year Longitudinal Study of Russian-Speaking Ethnic Korean Community
Authors: Jang Jinsil , Yi Youngjoo 
Published: December 2024

This five-year longitudinal study examines Russian-speaking ethnic Korean community members’ translingual practices in digital environments drawing upon the concept of translingualism. This study aims to investigate the pivotal role of the migrants’ online translingual practices in their daily lives and social integration in South Korea. For this study, data was collected from multiple sources and inductively analyzed. The findings reveal that during the initial settlement in South Korea, Russian-speaking ethnic Korean migrants (called Koryoin) predominantly used the Russian language in online (and offline) interactions as their local practices were mainly centered within the Koryoin community. However, as the migrants immersed themselves into various communities, they had slowly more engaged in translingual practices by switching between and mixing languages (Russian and Korean) for meaningful digital communication. Their translingual practices in digital environments enabled individuals to (1) situate and access resources within a broader online spatial context, (2) (re)build social relationships with other local community members, and (3) challenge social inequality in a host country (Korea). This study underscores the transformative potential of digital translingual practices, which appear to facilitate the (re)allocation of social status within their community and the (re)shaping of their language use. These findings suggest valuable implications for research and pedagogy for marginalized communities around the world.

Christian Languages and Cultural Communication
Authors: Alvarez Carlos 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Michel de Certeau’s work questions the theological discipline surrounding language. Although Certeau does not directly elaborate a theory of theological language, his intellectual project addresses the approaching crisis of the Church in the post-Vatican II era as a symptom of the broader crisis of culture and institutions in the West. This implies an archaeology of the erosion of language and its yet-unexplored possibilities. This progressive awareness of the epistemological consequences of the 14th-century nominalist rupture involves the desontologized language (mainly, but not only, that of Tradition); a complex and fruitful analysis of modern mystical language (dialogical and relational), which continues to problematize the subsisting vestiges of clerical theological language (non-dialogical and patriarchal); and a theoretical and practical vindication of the ordinary language, which opens up enormous possibilities for a theology and spirituality capable of taking cultures and everyday life as the place where a believing subjectivity emerges in our contemporaries.

Published: December 2024

Wa‘d (promise) is a concept that is frequently applied in various Islamic financial products. Although this concept has been used widely in Islamic financial products, as a result of the arising Sharī‘ah issues, wa‘d especially wa‘d mulzim (binding promise) in some contemporary practices towards contracts of Islamic financial products, remains a debatable practice among some Sharī‘ah scholars. This research aims to analyse some Sharī‘ah issues pertaining to the application of the wa‘d mulzim in the Islamic finance industry, especially the issue of wa‘d mulzim in sukūk contracts, particularly in partnership-based contracts which are sukūk muḍārabah, and sukūk mushārakah concepts. Two aspects are particularly emphasized. First, wa‘d can be binding in certain conditions, but to legally enforce this concept, there remain disputes and controversial discussions among scholars. Second, this study also discusses the issues of “promise to buy” or “promise to sell” (the asset) at a certain “price” i.e. the price at the same nominal value at which the bond was issued. Hence, this research will try to analyse the opinions of the scholars, certain related fatwas, Sharī‘ah resolutions and guidelines to understand the applicability of the binding promise towards Islamic financial products and ensure that the application of the binding promise is in line with the Sharī‘ah requirements.

Google and Segmentation of the Islamic Finance Body of Knowledge
Authors: Hamour Mohamed , Mansour Mohammed Saad eldin 
Published: December 2024

The study sets out to make evident the existences of segmentation of the Islamic finance body of knowledge (BOK). The segmentation results from the combination of dependency of Islamic finance researchers on google and using Islamic finance terms (IFTs) as search keywords. The study defines Islamic finance terminology as the Arabic/Islamic terms unique to Islamic finance literature written in English, e.g. Shariah. A distinctive feature of Islamic finance terms is that a single term can have many spelling variations. Firstly, to validate the presence of BOK segmentation, we investigated spelling variation among IFTs through a variation analysis among a sample of chosen terms. Secondly, we established the dependency of producers and users of Islamic finance literature on online resources and especially Google and Google Scholar using a survey. Lastly, we observed segmentation in the BOK by examining the absence of search results that overlap for IFTs and their variations. The spelling variations among our samples ranged from zero to eight with an average of (4.8) spelling variations per IFT. The dependency rate on online resources among our respondents was (99%) on Google, while Google Scholar scored (98%). The search results’ analysis yielded zero overlaps between the search results confirming the actuality of segmentation.

Separation Due to Harm Between Spouses in Afghan Law: A Juristic Analytical Study
Authors: Azizi Abdul Basir , Ummat Abdul Basir 
Published: December 2024

The article includes the issue of separation due to harm between spouses in Afghan law. It aims to illustrate the harms that cause separation between spouses. There are many types of modern harms that we hear and see in the courts of Badakhshan, a province of Afghanistan which are reasons of the separation between spouses, and they have a significant impact on the marital relationship. Therefore, it is important to investigate what is the position of Islamic jurisprudence and Afghan law regarding this issue, and what judicial procedures should be followed when the dispute occurs between the spouses? The study relies on the inductive approach, by tracking and extrapolating the juristic sources and the opinions of jurists, in addition to the Afghan law; and the analytical approach, by interpreting legal information related to harms, clarifying the civil law, and explaining the Islamic rulings related to the subject. The study reaches to several results, the most important of them are the Afghan law neither specified a clear definition for the concept of harm and its conditions, nor explained its guiding principles, rather it left those aspects to the court’s discretion and judgment of the cases of harms and harmful deeds. Likewise, some people see defects as one of the causes of separation (due to harm(, and others think that one of the reasons of separation is (husband’s) absence and non-payment of living expenses (of his wife). Therefore, the researchers propose the revision of the legal articles, especially the articles related to separation due to harm.

Published: December 2024

In 1956, the development of engineering science led to the birth of the first intelligent machines. This has led to the term Artificial Intelligence (AI) coined by a scientist named John McCarthy. The basic purpose of AI is to minimise human cognitive function. Advanced computer technology allows humans to do comparative critical thinking and simulate intelligent behaviour by producing intelligent modelling to solve boost and uplift cracking problems, imaging knowledge, and making a decision. Consequently, rapid analytical technique progress, powered by the increasing data availability in healthcare, has directed a paradigm shift in the healthcare system, especially in the analysis of medical imaging in the disease of oncology by detection of brain tumours. It helps the diagnosis of cancer stages based on the abnormal cell growth in the brain. AI is also important in diagnosis and treatment in other medical departments like dermatology, nephrology, ophthalmology, pathology, pulmonary medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and neurology. In recent years, AI has played a key role in pharmacy, drug delivery, drug discovery, drug formulation development, hospital pharmacy, and poly-pharmacology. The term AI has a broad range of applications in medicine, medical statistics, medical diagnosis, human biology, pharmacy, clinical, and robotics. Automated selective medication uses the scientific task approach of pharmacists and is only possible by the use of AI. Algorithmic tasks reserved by using AI automation and such type of AI demonstration are better than pharmacists in comparison. In general terms of AI, the minimal intervention of humans implies intelligent behaviour through computer models. The invention of robots is deemed the starting point of the AI journey. It started with the introduction of robotic biosynthetic machines utilised to support medical personnel. In the meantime, an AI is capable of analysing complex clinical and medical data where a potentially significant data set relationship can be used for treatment and predicting outcomes in the case study and diagnosis.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Maclura cochinchinensis is widely used as a natural dye for clothing in Indonesia. Besides, there are some researches about its activities as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic. However, there is a lack of comprehensive information regarding the standard characteristics and safety of use of its heartwood extract. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize M. cochinchinensis heartwood extract and to evaluate its toxicity.
Method: To obtain the extract, coarse powder of M. cochinchinensis heartwood was macerated using 70% ethanol and evaporated by vacuum rotavapor. Subsequently, phytochemical screening and thin-layer chromatography profiling were carried out, while the toxicity evaluation was conducted using brine shrimp lethality test.
Results: The phytochemical screening showed that this extract contained flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids, triterpenoids, coumarins, and essential oils. The extract exhibited a dark brown colour, distinct odour, flavourlessness, the value of water-soluble content, ethanol-soluble extract content, loss on drying, moisture content, moisture content, total ash content, acid-insoluble ash content, and water-soluble ash content of 31.44%±1.31, 50.44%±8.48, 9.51%±0.32, 1.62%±0.48, 4.93%±0.27, 1.10%±0.11, 3.81%±0.19, respectively. The residual solvent and heavy metal contamination were undetectable. Microbial contamination was minimal and dominated by a semipolar compound, and brine shrimp assay indicated low toxicity with an LC50 value of 174.40 mg/L.
Conclusion: M. cochinchinensis heartwood extract has good quality and tends to be safe for the environment. This research obtained data that could be used as a supporting evidence for more specific utilization of M. cochinchinensis heartwood and its isolated compounds.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: The escalating global threat of multidrug-resistant pathogens necessitates innovative approaches to combat drug resistance. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as promising candidates due to their potent antimicrobial and anti-cancer properties. Green synthesis of AgNPs using plant extracts offers an eco-friendly and cost-effective method. This study focuses on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AC-AgNPs) using Anisophyllea corneri leaf extracts and evaluates their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities.
Materials and methods: An eco-friendly synthesis approach was employed, utilizing A. corneri leaf extracts as reducing agents. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) was utilized for phytochemical profiling. The synthesis process was optimized at various temperatures (60?C, 70?C, 80?C) and pH levels (4, 9) to achieve optimal AgNPs outcomes. Characterization of AC-AgNPs included UV-Vis spectrophotometry, FTIR, SEM, Zeta potential, and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). Antimicrobial evaluation was conducted against four bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) using paper disc diffusion. Cytotoxicity was assessed through the MTT assay on MCF-7 (breast cancer cell line).
Results: A. corneri leaf extract exhibited abundant active compounds facilitating the reduction of silver ions. Optimization revealed that 70?C at pH 9 produced AC-AgNPs with a minimal particle size of 135.5 nm and a stable zeta potential (-45.1±11.7 mV). AC-AgNPs displayed a spherical morphology. Antimicrobial trials demonstrated moderate efficacy against the tested bacteria, with inhibition zones ranging from 8 to 10 mm. Additionally, AC-AgNPs exhibited cytotoxic potential with a moderate IC50 of 74.9 µg/mL.
Conclusion: The green synthesis, characterisation and biological activities of AgNPs from A. corneri leaf extracts have been established. It is recommended to optimise the synthesis process and validate the biological activities.
