Research on Multiple Teaching Models of Chinese Culture Integration in English Translation Course Based on Web Technology
Authors: Li Feng , Wang Yanan 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Learning Chinese excellent traditional culture is a necessary trend and an urgent requirement for English translation teaching. In this paper, we utilize the knowledge fusion model to calculate the association support degree of Web semantic content, decompose the collection of knowledge objects based on the “clustering threshold”, and cluster the related English translation learning resources through the “clustering approximation”, to satisfy the learner’s query needs of learners. On this basis, the English Translation Web Teaching Mode is constructed, which combines multimedia and network technology to teach English translation online and offline, and integrates Chinese cultural elements in teaching. We evaluated the degree of integration between Chinese culture and English translation teaching from the dimensions of students’ emotion and cognition, teaching materials, learning process, and teaching methods, analyzed the embodiment of Chinese culture in English teaching materials, and explored the changes in students’ cultural cognition and English translation performance under this teaching mode by using the independent samples t-test. The results show that the students’ translation scores before and after the teaching increased by 6.66 points, and there are significant differences between the students’ cultural awareness, linguistic competence, thinking quality, and learning ability before and after the teaching, with p-values of 0.025, 0.02, 0.01, and 0.03, which are all less than 0.05. This study has important reference value for improving students’ English translation competence and Chinese cultural cognition.
Corporate sector cash holding – optimal levels, macro context, or external shocks?
Authors: Berent Tomasz , Śniechowski Maciej 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to validate the existence of an extensively documented secular upward trend in corporate cash holding. To do this, we use the new data for Poland and review original datasets from Bates et al. [2009] for the U.S. We find no trace of a trend for Poland and believe most trends for the U.S. come from the cash piling toward the end of the sample period. At best, the U.S. trend applies merely to small firms. We believe cash holding is a period-dependent time-varying variable which also depends on external shocks (e.g., the pandemic or tax regulations). We show that simple addition of macro data (GDP in our case) vastly improves models focused only on optimal cash holding and firm-specific characteristics. We call for a new three-stage approach to study corporate cash, in which micro considerations are complemented by macro data and external liquidity shock analysis.

Liver merupakan salah satu organ penting dalam tubuh manusia yang berperan dalam proses metabolisme tubuh. Mengutip artikel dari situs American Liver Foundation, pada tahun 2020 sebanyak 51.642 orang dewasa di Amerika Serikat meninggal akibat penyakit liver. Data hasil tes fungsi liver dari laboratorium dapat digunakan untuk mendiagnosis penyakit liver. Klasifikasi penyakit liver pada pasien perlu dilakukan dengan baik karena hasilnya dapat membantu dalam diagnosis awal apakah seorang pasien mengidap penyakit liver. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya, metode Support Vector Machine (SVM) paling baik dalam mengklasifikasikan pasien penyakit liver. Namun, SVM memiliki kelemahan ketika diterapkan pada dataset dengan kelas yang tidak seimbang dan tidak bekerja secara akurat ketika terlalu banyak fitur yang tidak relevan digunakan. Untuk menyeimbangkan kelas pada dataset, digunakan metode Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). Sedangkan untuk seleksi fitur dilakukan menggunakan metode Ensemble Filter, terdiri dari metode Information Gain, Gain Ratio, dan Relief-F untuk menangani fitur-fitur tidak relevan. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, penerapan SMOTE dan Ensemble Filter pada metode klasifikasi SVM memberikan hasil terbaik dengan nilai accuracy sebesar 85% dan AUC sebesar 0,850. Pengujian tersebut dapat membuktikan jika SMOTE pada penyeimbangan kelas dan Ensemble Filter pada seleksi fitur dapat meningkatkan performa klasifikasi dari metode SVM.

Abstract

The liver is one of the important organs in the human body that plays a role in the body's metabolic processes. Quoting an article from the American Liver Foundation website, in 2020, as many as 51,642 adults in the United States died from liver disease. Liver function test data from the laboratory can be used to diagnose liver disease. Classification of liver disease in patients needs to be done well because the results can help in the initial diagnosis of whether a patient has liver disease. Based on previous research, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method best classifies liver disease patients. However, SVM has weaknesses when applied to datasets with unbalanced classes and does not work accurately when too many irrelevant features are used. To class-balance the dataset, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) method is used. Meanwhile, feature selection is performed using the Ensemble Filter method, which consists of Information Gain, Gain Ratio, and Relief-F methods to handle irrelevant features. Based on the test results, the application of SMOTE and Ensemble Filter in SVM classification gives the best results with an accuracy value of 85% and an AUC of 0.850. The test can prove if SMOTE on class balancing and Ensemble Filter on feature selection can improve the classification performance of the SVM method.

Implementation of a Decision Support System with a Simple Additive Weighting Method for the Selection of Quality Bird Breeder
Authors: Septianto Naafi , Aryanto Joko 
Published: February 2024

Indonesia is a country blessed with abundant natural resources, one of which is the diverse variety of chirping birds that captivate the attention of many. The high demand for these birds has led to a decline in the population of wild chirping birds due to increased illegal capture. To address this issue, bird breeding programs have been implemented. The selection of superior quality chirping birds will determine the offspring produced. Superior quality bird brooders can also increase the selling price of the resulting chicks. Therefore, the determination of superiorquality bird breeders is very crucial for decision makers who are related in this case are chirping bird breeders. If it is not done properly and accurately, the wrong selection of chirping birds often results in various problems. Some of the problems that arise include the results of tillers that have low quality to the difficulty of selling livestock produced tillers. Decision-making models can be used to help chirping bird breeders make decisions. The Simple Additive weighting (SAW) method is expected to be able to help overcome the problems encountered. The purpose of this study was to create a decision-making system for the selection of superior quality chirping birds. It is hoped that there will be no mistakes in the selection of chirping birds.
Co-occurrence of Myasthenia Gravis and Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Report
Authors: Rynkevič G. , Kizlaitienė R. 
Published: February 2024

Myasthenia gravis (MG) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are thought to have a common autoimmune mechanism as the number of reported co-occurrences of both diseases is increasing. The involvement of both T cells and B cells in the pathogenesis of these two diseases is suspected. As the symptoms and clinical course of MS and MG can be similar in some cases, this makes it difficult to consider the possibility of the coexistence of these disorders. However, laboratory and imagining findings are helpful in distinguishing both diseases and differentiating them from other neurological conditions. Additionally, there can be obstacles in effective treatment selection for patients with MS and MG coexistence. This article presents a clinical case of a woman with previously diagnosed MG who was admitted to hospital 12 years later with new-onset symptoms and was additionally diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Remission of MG was achieved with medications and thymectomy, but treatment of MS had its challenges, as first-line immunomodulating drugs interferon beta-1a and dimethyl fumarate were not effective, and second line treatment with monoclonal antibody medication rituximab and ocrelizumab showed efficacy for both diseases, MG and MS. The presented case highlights the importance of considering a manifestation of another disease when treating an already diagnosed disorder. It also emphasizes the importance of further research into the relationship between MG and MS.
Public Music Theory’s Neoliberal Learning Outcomes
Authors: Belcher Owen , Kim Catrina , Reese Alan 
Published: February 2024

Recent years have seen a growing interest in integrating “public music theory” (PMT) into the classroom. While proponents argue that PMT-related class projects enhance traditional learning outcomes, some advocate for PMT assignments that focus explicitly on job training, thus aligning the learning outcomes of the music theory class with those of music entrepreneurship programs—students learn to “market themselves, fundraise, and interact with the broader public beyond traditional concert performances” (Belcher and Grant 2019). We argue that such discourse reflects a neoliberal frame that encourages a marketized view of music theory pedagogy—how music theory mastery can be sold to our students as a boost to their careers. PMT, with its emphasis on practical skills and interaction with a (potentially paying) public, is particularly susceptible to this framing.
Building on Moore’s (2016) critique of musical entrepreneurship programs and Ritchey’s (2019) examination of neoliberalism’s effects on classical music, we analyze the role neoliberal values play in theorists’ decisions to bring PMT into the classroom and publish PMT themselves. We elucidate the neoliberal frame in several examples drawn from our own teaching experiences and from others. In our critique, we identify covert learning outcomes promoting a neoliberal perspective and engage with the following questions: How are music theory faculty, like all university instructors, under a particular “pressure to embody and transmit the values of power” (Bousquet 2008, 93)? And, in light of this pressure, how can we negotiate differences between our economic realities and societal ideals in our teaching?
Global Philosophy of Music
Authors: Lee Gavin S. K. 
Published: February 2024

Neo-Taoists in third-century China believed that music should not be too emotive, as this resulted in an imbalance that disrupted the natural human state. This perspective is congruent with the older Taoist tenet that one should relinquish socially constructed desires in order to follow the Tao or “pathway.” The epitome of Neo-Taoist music aesthetics can be found in philosopher and guqin player Ji Kang’s thesis that Music Has in It Neither Sorrow Nor Joy. According to Ji, music itself is harmonious and qi-preserving, whereas listener emotions deplete one’s vitality or qi.
Despite many scholars drawing parallels between Ji’s and Hanslick’s aesthetics, these similarities are superficial in nature and obscure a fundamental divergence. In this paper, I argue that whereas Hanslick’s theory reflects the “apolitical” positivism of mid-century Austria, Ji’s thesis of “pure” music connotes his political retreat from a corrupt court he despised. Recent research in Wilfing 2018 shows how Austrian positivism was a clinical ideology intended to be the opposite of the fiery revolutionary ideals thought to be championed by Enlightenment philosophers. Seemingly in parallel, and as part of a larger move to renounce socially constructed desires (e.g., for wealth and fame) and mores, Ji Kang turned towards a musical metaphysics of cosmic harmony that connotes his resistance against assimilation to an unjust social order. The political connotations of Ji Kang’s metaphysics suggest we pause in considering contemporary European and North American musicological discourses that are well-intentioned but are often inappropriately universalized within their own contexts, not to mention other geographies. Upon recognizing that even metaphysics can have a social dimension, we might perhaps begin to dismantle neo-Kantian ethical universality.
Female Subjectivities in the Words, Music, and Images of Progressive Metal
Authors: Burns Lori 
Published: February 2024

Heavy metal scholarship affirms the genre to be dominated by male performers and points to a preponderance of patriarchal values and hypermasculinity, with performances contributing to an aesthetic production of misogyny, power, and intensity. The notion of heavy metal as a hegemonic discourse has been queried, however, by recent scholars who reveal metal to support a range of gendered and sexualized subjectivities. This paper examines how a specific metal vocalist—Tatiana Shmayluk (of the Ukrainian band Jinjer)—navigates the discourse of progressive metal to challenge hegemonic norms and create space for alternative female subjectivities.
Jinjer’s defiance of genre boundaries and Shmayluk’s metal vocal expression emerge through a multi-faceted dialogue with an array of cultural references. To illuminate the unique blend of referentiality and creative expression within Jinjer’s work, this article offers analyses of three music videos: “I Speak Astronomy,” “Perennial,” and “Pit of Consciousness.” With the aim of understanding how Shmayluk navigates the discursive space of metal music, the selected songs are situated in relation to the subgenres to which they refer, and specifically to male-fronted metal bands that mobilize similar thematic materials. The close readings of these music videos are grounded in the existing analytic literature on metal music, with consideration of genre-based compositional, stylistic, and expressive elements to unveil Shmayluk’s challenges to the constraints upon “femininity” in metal music.
School Education in Post-18th Amendment Balochistan: A Political Economy Perspective
Authors: Kakar Rafiullah 
Published: February 2024

In the wake of devolution of education to provinces through the 18th Constitutional Amendment, there has been a noticeable increase in public spending on school education. Moreover, certain reforms have been introduced in education planning, management and monitoring. These measures have enhanced availability of physical infrastructure and reading and writing material for schools and improved education monitoring. There is also evidence of marginal improvements in overall literacy rate and reading and arithmetic skills.
Notwithstanding the limited gains, the reforms and increased public spending have not translated into commensurate improvements in schooling and learning outcomes. Analysis of proximate causes indicates that learning outcomes are not improving because the various elements of education system are not aligned around the goal of learning. In contrast, expansion of schooling appears to have remained a strategic objective of education delivery but it hasn’t experienced significant improvement either because of the existence of serious policy incoherence among various elements of education system. Prevalence of centralised, politically-influenced, discretionary and outdated planning and management practices combined with ineffectiveness of accountability mechanisms across the education delivery chain have undermined the effectiveness of well-intended reforms.
A deeper exploration of these issues through the “political settlement” lens reveals that education outcomes aren’t recording major improvements because elite interest is aligned neither with the goal of learning nor access. Instead, elite interest is aligned more around patronage politics. Short-term, clientelist, political objectives govern education provision, owing to the highly fragile, exclusive, fragmented and personalised nature of political settlement. The predatory nature of political settlement has adversely affected both the design and implementation of reform initiatives.
