Globalization highlights the role of film and television in cultural exchange, and movie subtitles are critical to overcoming language barriers for intercultural communication. This paper examines Kung Fu Panda 4 through the lens of contextual theory to explore effective subtitling strategies. Translation practice usually draws on linguistic, situational and cultural contexts, and the logical coherence of contextual language directly dictates the stylistic orientation of subtitles. Contextual th...

Paths of the Soul (Mount Kailash), a film themed on Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage, records the entire journey of 11 villagers from Markam Village who embarked on a more-than-2500-kilometer prostration pilgrimage that lasted over a year. It demonstrates the profound connotations of Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage rituals. From the theoretical perspective of interpretive anthropology, this paper analyzes how Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage rituals construct the spiritual world of believers through four dime...

The visualization of high-dimensional data is a cornerstone of modern scientific inquiry, particularly in quantum physics, where complex non-linear interactions define system behavior. While linear dimensionality reduction methods provide mathematical guarantees of reproducibility, they fail to capture the intricate manifolds underlying such data. Non-linear techniques like Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) are therefore essential, but their stochastic optimization introduces ...

Carbon neutrality, achieved by balancing anthropogenic GHG emissions and removals, offers a pathway to minimise climate impacts and foster a just transition to low-carbon economies. However, achieving carbon neutrality in West Africa requires an explicit integration of environmental-justice considerations that equitably distribute burdens and benefits among societal groups. Environmental justice demands that the burdens and benefits of transitioning towards carbon neutrality are equitably distri...

Introduction: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) remains a major public health problem among children under 5 years of age in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hospital care can represent a significant financial burden for households, potentially leading to catastrophic healthcare expenditures. This study aimed to compare the direct and indirect financial costs of care for children with SAM and for those with normal nutritional status hospitalized for other conditions. Methods: A cross-sectiona...

The weed is reported to reduce forage availability, disrupt normal grazing patterns, and livestock poisoning. Overgrazing, recurring droughts, and land？use changes has greatly contributed to its spread. Methods: Weed information data was collected through field questionnaires, direct observations, k...

Academic misconduct has always been a hot topic both internationally and domestically, and there have been many studies on it. The present bibliometric analysis was conducted on the basis of 1562 WOS database-derived papers to shed more light on publication performances as well as research features of Academic Misconduct. We used indicators for evaluating impacts of the most prolific journals, countries/territories, organizations and authors. Additionally, interactions across prolific countries/...

Introduction: The use of the Xoft Axxent electronic Brachytherapy (eBx) system has become more common due to advantages, like lower doses to the Organs At Risk (OARs), than the traditionally used radioactive sources like Iridium-192 (Ir-192). Xoft’s eBx uses a miniaturised X-ray tube instead of a radioactive source. At Steve Biko Academic Hospital, the EMBRACE-II protocol is followed when planning and treating gynaecological brachytherapy patients to ensure that the OARs such as...

Against the background of globalization, college English education is facing both unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The traditional monolingual teaching approach can no longer meet the demands of cultivating multi-disciplinary talents today. In this context, the 4T lenses (Trans-languaging, Trans-semiotizing, Trans-knowledging, Trans-culturing) offer a transformation pathway for college English teaching from single language skill development to comprehensive quality cultivation. In rec...

Mitsuyo Kakuta's work The House on the Slope centers on the experience of Risa, a housewife who serves as an alternate juror in the trial of the case involving Ando Miho. Taking the isomorphic narrative technique in the text as the core object of analysis, this paper elaborates on two dimensions: the isomorphism of women's existential predicament and the isomorphism of the absence of male roles. The study finds that the protagonist Risa and the defendant Miho in the case share highly si...
