As a key medium of cross-cultural communication, translated film and television titles carry distinct cultural values and gender narratives in their semantic construction. Adopting Leech’s seven categories of meaning as the theoretical framework, this paper analyzes more than twenty representative translated film and television titles from home and abroad via qualitative textual analysis and comparative research. It explores gender-based semantic shifts across seven categories during Chinese tra...

Introduction: In radiotherapy, to effectively treat tumours, a high level of precision, accuracy, and reproducibility is necessary. This guarantees that a sufficiently high dose reaches the tumour while preventing radiation exposure of the surrounding healthy tissues. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an image guidance technique used by the Steve Biko Academic Hospital (SBAH) radiation therapy department to ensure accurate patient setup and position verification before treatm...

This paper examines the origins, development, and impact of the Crusades on the medieval world through an analysis of Cécile Morrisson’s work The Crusades. The author pays particular attention to the complex relationship between Byzantium and the Crusaders. By investigating the deep-rooted contradictions between the two sides, the paper reveals the hostile relationship between the Byzantine Empire and Crusader leaders during the Crusades. Drawing upon Anna Komnene’s Alexiad and other sources, th...

Surgical resection of maxillary malignancies often results in significant functional and aesthetic morbidity, substantially affecting patients’ quality of life. Depending on the extent and localization of the resection, patients may experience severe impairments, including speech disorders, nasal regurgitation, compromised mastication, and facial asymmetry. Maxillofacial obturator prostheses represent a predictable and minimally invasive approach for the rehabilitation of such defects, aiming to...

Green innovation (GI), which involves the development of products, processes, and systems that reduce environmental impact, has been linked to heterogeneous financial outcomes. This single-case qualitative study examined how Tesla, Inc. leverages GI to drive corporate financial performance (CFP). Using documentary analysis of Tesla’s annual reports and investor materials (2019-2024) and triangulation with reputable industry sources, we synthesised evidence across four theoretical lenses: the Res...

Consumer electronics user manuals are a combination of technical information and operational instructions, and their translation quality directly affects user experience and product safety. Guided by Eugene Nida’s Functional Equivalence Theory, this paper conducts a systematic study on the high-frequency issue of terminological inconsistency in the Chinese translation of such texts, incorporating international standards’ requirements for consistency and comprehensibility of use information. Taki...

This research presents the design and electromagnetic analysis of an isosceles triangular loop antenna for terrestrial broadcasting and satellite communication applications using the Method of Moments (MoM). The antenna geometry was modeled and analyzed in MATLAB to evaluate its electrical and radiation performance characteristics. The study focused on determining important antenna parameters such as current distribution, radiation resistance, loss resistance, gain, directivity, radiation effici...
