Invisibility and Hypervisibility: Rabindranath Tagore and His Self-Translated English Works in the Western World
Authors: Liu Xiaoqing 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Translation inherently involves grappling with cultural, power, and knowledge dynamics. It encompasses the shaping of ideas by those in control and the influence of translation on the perception of cultures, peoples, and texts. While translation can empower marginalized voices, it may also reinforce power imbalances by favoring dominant languages and cultures in colonial contexts. Translation is a crucial instrument in shaping, reflecting, and challenging global power dynamics. Lawrence Venuti classifies translation strategies into domestication and foreignization, associating the former with Anglo-American hegemony and the latter as a challenge to Western cultural dominance. He suggests that these strategies result in different outcomes for translators’ visibility: domesticating translators go unnoticed, while foreignizing translators emerge from obscurity. However, the translation practices in colonial and postcolonial contexts demonstrate that Venuti’s binary categories may oversimplify the complexities of translation activities. Rabindranath Tagore’s self-translation from Bengali into English complicates Venuti’s theory, as both domesticating and foreignizing translations coexist. Tagore, as a translator, and his English audiences engage in both strategies. His foreignization goal, introducing Indian culture to the West, is achieved through domesticating his poetry for acceptance. Simultaneously, his English readers adopt both approaches, connecting Tagore’s writing to the English literary tradition while exoticizing differences. This results in Tagore transitioning from invisibility to hypervisibility, but within two decades, he fades into obscurity in the Western world. Tagore’s experience underscores that pursuing visibility exclusively or relying solely on foreignizing translation strategy cannot effectively challenge Western hegemony. Instead, efforts should be made to safeguard against the pervasive influence of imperial power in the cultural exchange between the non-Western (English-speaking) world and the West (English-speaking world).

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The mixed compression scramjet engine intake was numerically simulated to study the characteristic of shock wave induced boundary layer separation leading to the formation of the separation bubble (SB). The analysis employed a 2D-RANS method with SST k-ω turbulence model at different Mach numbers. The intake is designed as a three-ramp intake for improved performance. As the Mach number varies, the size of the separation bubble formed due to the interaction of oblique shock waves with the boundary layer also varies, affecting both intake the efficiency and overall efficiency of the engine. Apart from traditional control techniques, the most preferred bleed technique is incorporated. Localised & distributed bleed techniques are designed and analysed within the intake at different locations. These techniques result in a reduction in the size of the separation bubble within the intake. Establishing perforation in the engine intake also increases the intake efficiency and overall engine performance.

Background. Metastases of the female reproductive system cancer to the brain are rare and reach about 5 % of all cases with metastatic lesions of the central nervous system. The most common metastases are ovarian cancer (0.49–6.1 %), endometrial cancer (0.4–1.2 %) and cervical cancer (0.3–0.9 %). The predominant localization and ways of spreading metastases to the brain in this category of tumors may differ from lung cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer or melanoma.Aim. To analyze the localization of brain metastases of malignant tumors of the female reproductive system and the ways of dissemination of malignant cells from the primary focus to the central nervous system.Materials and methods. From 2013 to 2020, a total number of 448 patients with metastatic brain tumors from different cancers were operated on at the Department of Neuro‑Oncology of the Federal Center of Neurosurgery (Novosibirsk). Metastases of tumors of the female reproductive system were presented in 32 (7.1 %) cases. The average age was 55.1 (27–72) years. Ovarian cancer was the primary focus in 24 (5.3 %) cases, endometrial cancer – in 6 (1.3 %), cervical cancer – in 2 (0.4 %). Occipital lobe was the most often location for the metastases in the brain and occurred in 10 (31.3 %) patients. Subtentorial localization was on the second place and noted in 9 (28.1 %) cases. Of these, metastases to the cerebellum were registered in 8 cases and in 1 case the metastasis was located in the brain stem.Results. Gross total removal of metastasis was achieved in all 32 patients. Of 9 cases with subtentorial localization of metastasis, only 1 patient had lung metastases verified. Regression of neurological symptoms and improvement of the condition were noted in 16 patients after surgery. The Karnovsky performance score at the time of discharge was 85.2.Conclusion. The subtentorial location of metastases in malignant tumors of the female reproductive system occupies one of the leading places. This is because the dissemination of tumor cells from the pelvis can occur through a Batson vertebral venous system directly to the cerebellum or brain stem without the pulmonary blood circulation and lung dissemination. This should be taken into account for the early diagnosis of subtentorial metastatic brain tumors and referral of these patients for neurosurgical treatment.

Aim: to develop a model for predicting preeclampsia (PE) based on the clinically most significant differentially expressed plasma microRNAs.Materials and Methods. A prospective observational comparative study was conducted with 62 women, divided into two parallel groups: 32 patients with PE and 30 clinically healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancy. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed blood plasma microRNAs using next generation sequencing (NGS).Results. Calculation of risk ratios for PE development allowed to identify 14 plasma microRNAs that influence the development of PE pathology. PE-associated microRNAs hsa-miR-103a-3p, hsa-miR-451a and hsa-miR-516a-5p have a high diagnostic value when combined to assess their blood plasma expression level in early pregnancy stages.Conclusion. The developed prognostic model can be applied to pregnant women at risk for PE development, which may further reduce obstetric complications and improve perinatal outcomes.

Introduction. It was revealed that various epigenetic abnormalities may play an important role in the endometriosis pathogenesis. The regulation of chromatin structure is carried out mainly by chromatin modifiers (CMs), which stimulate generation of genomic regions with different functional structures and thus change the patterns or levels of gene expression by exerting expected biological functions and causing epigenetic changes.Aim: to consider CMs role in endometriosis pathogenesis and their regulation mechanism assessing current publications.Materials and Methods. The search was conducted in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and eLibrary. Keywords and phrases in Russian and English related to the research topic were used as follows: "endometriosis", "chromatin modifiers", "histone acetylation", "DNA methylation", "microRNA". The evaluation of articles was carried out in accordance with PRISMA recommendations.Results. Chromatin modifiers control differentiation, growth and development, aging and cell death by interacting with various functional chromatin elements. They can cause abnormal gene expression by regulating chromatin structure affecting emergence and development of endometriosis. DNA methylation determines cell types, controls gene expression and genome stability. Abnormal DNA methylation in gene promoter regions necessary for normal endometrial response affects endometriosis development. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors reduce the methylation of human homeobox A10 (HOXA10) and progesterone receptor (PR) genes and potentiate their expression in endometrial cells, improving endometrial susceptibility and inhibiting cell cycle progression. Abnormal histone modifications in endometrial cells may facilitate or hinder the access of transcription mechanisms to chromatin DNA. Histone deacetylase inhibitors effectively eliminate the effects of abnormal histone modifications in endometriosis cells and prevent endometriosis progression. The expression of non-coding RNAs and chromatin remodeling complexes also alters chromatin structure being involved in arising endometriosis and is associated with infertility by promoting proliferation, invasion and migration of endometrioid cells.Conclusion. Chromatin modifiers play a key role in developing endometriosis by controlling gene expression and chromatin structure. Understanding underlying mechanisms provides valuable information for diagnostics and development of new approaches to treat endometriosis.

Abstract
Volcanic eruptions pose significant risks, demanding precise monitoring for timely hazard mitigation. However, interpreting noisy seismic data for eruptive precursors remains challenging. This study introduces a novel methodology that extends an earlier time-series feature engineering approach to include template matching against prior eruptions. We aim to identify subtle signals within seismic data to enhance our understanding of volcanic activity and future hazards. To do this, we analyze the continuous seismic record at a volcano and identify the time-series elements that regularly precede eruptions and the timescales over which these are observable. We conduct tests across various time lengths, ranging from 1 to 60 days. For Copahue (Chile/Argentina), Pavlof (Alaska), Bezymianny (Russia), and Whakaari (New Zealand) volcanoes, we confirm statistically significant eruption precursors. In particular, a feature named change quantiles (0.2–0.8), which is related to the conditional dynamics of surface acceleration at the volcano, emerges as a key indicator of future eruptions over 14-day timescales. This research offers new methods for real-time seismovolcanic monitoring, minimizing the effects of unknown, spurious noise, and discerning recurrent patterns through template matching. By providing deeper insights into pre-eruptive behavior, it may lead to more effective hazard reduction strategies, enhancing public safety around active volcanoes.

В статье рассматривается проблема оценки рынка целевых капиталов некоммерческих организаций в России в связи с отсутствием единой базы данных об эндаументах, вопросы их создания и расформирования. Целью исследования является определение основных направлений, в которых может осуществляться участие государства в формировании и развитии эндаументов и определение условий такого участия на основе анализа опыта других стран по формированию ФЦК и практики их регистрации (учета). На основе международного опыта предлагаются варианты участия государства в работе фондов целевых капиталов. По мнению авторов, повышение уровня открытости информации об эндаументах даст больше возможностей привлекать к их работе государственное финансирование.
The article addresses the assessment of endowment capital market of non-profit organizations in Russia, the issues of endowments creation and disbandment. Th e relevance of the study is due to the lack of a unified database on endowments in Russia. The aim of the study is to identify the main areas in which the state can participate in the formation and development of endowments and determine the conditions for such participation based on the analysis of the experience of other countries in the formation of endowments and the practice of their registration (accounting). On the basis of international experience, the article proposes possibilities for state participation in the endowment funds. According to the authors, the increased openness of information about endowments will give more opportunities to involve state funding in their work.
Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire in Persian: A Report on the Translation Process

Published: June 2024

Background: Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a condition where there are changes in muscle tone during REM sleep, leading to abnormal movements. This disorder is typically diagnosed using video polysomnography (VPSG), which is considered the gold standard test. However, a screening questionnaire for RBD (RBDSQ) has been developed, translated, and validated in various languages, and could be used as a low-cost alternative to VPSG. In this study, we followed a standard multi-step process to translate the RBDSQ into Persian.
Methods: As per the guidelines suggested by Mapi Research Trust, we followed a four-step process for translation. The process included forward translation, backward translation, cognitive interviews with fifteen patients, and proofreading. We collaborated with Mapi Research Trust in each step of the process. Also, we conducted discussion and revision sessions for each step to ensure that the final translation was accurate.
Results: After reviewing the forward and backward translations, some of the items were rephrased. Patients who participated in cognitive interviews found the translation to be generally clear, but some improvements were necessary to make it more expressive. The final proofreading process involved correcting some typing and spelling errors.
Conclusions: The Persian translation of RBDSQ was approved by Mapi Research Trust through a standard translation process. This translation is now compatible with the original English version and is available for a future clinical validation study.

Based on autopsy and biopsy material, a morpho-functional assessment of the mucous membrane of the anatomical spaces of the medial wall of the tympanic cavity — separated by fold of the tensor tympani muscle —was carried out. It has been shown that in most cases samples of the mucous membrane of the supratubal recess are represented by multirow or pseudostratified epithelium with loose connective tissue of the lamina propria. On the other hand, the mucous membrane of the anterior epitympanic recess in most cases is represented by flat epithelium with compact connective tissue of the lamina propria, which determines the high gas-absorbing capacity of the mucous membrane. Establishing the boundary of the mucous membrane with a high gas-absorbing capacity in practical terms determines the formation of the tympanic segment when performing open-type tympanoplasty.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: This study aimed to understand the community people’s experience of access, understanding, evaluation, and application of health information for self-care of hypertensive older adults, and explore the community's perspective on promoting community health literacy (CHL) on caring for hypertensive older adults.
Methods: This was a qualitative descriptive study. Data were collected through focus groups and in-depth interviews in one sub-district municipality in Mahasarakham, Thailand. A total of 37 participants from older adults with hypertension, families of older adults with hypertension, and community committees were recruited based on inclusion criteria using purposive sampling. Data were then analyzed using a five-step thematic analysis.
Results: Four main themes of community people’s experience emerged 1) access to health information limited by the healthcare personnel at the primary care unit (PCU), 2) understanding the health information because it is clear and familiar, and can ask the medical personnel directly, 3) do not evaluate the health information received from healthcare personnel because they trust them, and 4) applied health information to practice only taking medicine and doctor’s appointments. Three main themes to promote CHL are 1) usual healthcare activities, 2) community action, and 3) nurses at PCU, village health volunteers, and community committees should be involved in playing a key role in promoting CHL.
Conclusions: Cooperation with community leaders is important to promote CHL by using active learning education and creating a supportive environment focusing on encouraging older adults to perform self-care to control their health conditions.

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed the remarkable progress of deep learning within the realm of scientific disciplines, yielding a wealth of promising outcomes. A prominent challenge within this domain has been the task of predicting enzyme function, a complex problem that has seen the development of numerous computational methods, particularly those rooted in deep learning techniques. However, the majority of these methods have primarily focused on either amino acid sequence data or protein structure data, neglecting the potential synergy of combining of both modalities. To address this gap, we propose a novel Contrastive Learning framework for Enzyme functional ANnotation prediction combined with protein amino acid sequences and Contact maps (CLEAN-Contact). We rigorously evaluated the performance of our CLEAN-Contact framework against the state-of-the-art enzyme function prediction model using multiple benchmark datasets. Our findings convincingly demonstrate the substantial superiority of our CLEAN-Contact framework, marking a significant step forward in enzyme function prediction accuracy.
Views of research ethics committee members on end-of-participation communications for trial participants who stop taking part: a cross-sectional survey study.
Authors: Cragg William , Bishop Liam , Gilberts Rachael , Gregg Michael , Mancini Mary , de Barros Clara Martins 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Giving information to trial participants who stop taking part could support them through what can be a difficult process. We previously developed guidance around the ethical acceptability of such information provision, and about how trialists can develop suitable communication materials. There is limited evidence about what research ethics committees think of this issue, and limited guidance about what level of oversight they should have over the proposed communications, or post-consent participant communications generally. We conducted a survey of UK ethics committee members to address these points.
Methods
The survey was co-developed by public contributors and trialists who had previously worked together on the communications guidance. We asked respondents if they agreed with the general idea of informing participants who stop taking part, if they had ever been requested to review similar communications, and what level of ethics committee review they might recommend. The survey was primarily conducted online. It was reviewed by three ethics committee members before finalisation and shared directly with all UK ethics committee members. We analysed quantitative questions descriptively and used inductive analysis for open questions to identify common themes.
Results
Ninety-one ethics committee members participated (nearly 10% of all UK members). The sample was similar to reported data about all members in terms of several personal characteristics. Most respondents (83%) agreed with our project's rationale. Only 23% of respondents reported having been asked to review an end-of-participation information sheet before. Respondents gave various answers about the level of ethics committee review required, but most supported a relatively proportionate review process. Common concerns were about the risk of coercion or making participants feel pressured.
Conclusions
Our survey suggests that ethics committee members generally support providing information to trial participants who stop taking part, if risks to participants are mitigated. We believe our guidance already addresses the main concerns raised. Our respondents’ lack of prior experience with end-of-participation information sheets suggests that participants are not getting information they want or need when they stop participating. Our results help clarify how ethics committee should oversee post-consent participant communications, but further guidance from research regulators could be helpful.
