Skopos theory provides the theoretical framework for a comparative study of two canonical Chinese translations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, namely those by Zhu Shenghao and Liang Shiqiu. Working from the same source text, the two translators produced different versions, a divergence attributable to their distinct translational purposes, shaped by differing historical contexts, target audiences, and cultural missions. Zhu Shenghao, translating during the War of Resistance, aimed to popul...

Completion reports are central to the oil and gas exploration and development process, in which formation names serve as fundamental entities for geological modeling and reserve calculation. However, general-purpose Chinese named entity recognition (NER) tools do not include formation names as an entity type, and the petroleum domain lacks Chinese corpus annotation at the sequence labeling level. Based on the World Oil Outlook 2026 (WOO 2026) published by OPEC, this study employs AntConc frequen...

Introduction: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) remain a major cause of morbidity in children, particularly in disadvantaged communities where living conditions and access to healthcare are precarious. In the Kamina Health Zone, the factors associated with these infections remain poorly documented. This study aimed to identify the determinants of ARIs in children aged 0 to 14 years. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 384 children aged 0...

Industrial dumpsites can impose complex pressure on nearby water sources through dissolved ions, oxygen demanding substances, microbial inputs and toxic metals. This study assessed the physicochemical quality, Water Quality Index, toxic metal burden and human health risk of water sources around fertilizer, dye, battery and paint dumpsite vicinities in Makurdi, Nigeria. Water categories comprised fertilizer dumpsite water sample (FDWS), dye dumpsite water sample (DDWS), battery dumpsite water sam...

Against the backdrop of comprehensively advancing the digital transformation of education and implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, the deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology with primary mathematics teaching offers new possibilities for addressing practical dilemmas such as the absence of emotional education and the singularity of teaching strategies in traditional classrooms. This paper presents a conceptual framework rather than an empir...

Against the dual policy backdrop of the state’s drive to enhance the quality of international Chinese language education and promote the dissemination of Chinese intangible cultural heritage abroad, Chinese language teaching in overseas primary schools is generally plagued by practical issues such as the inadequate suitability of teaching resources for intangible cultural heritage, monotonous teaching methods, a lack of cultural literacy among teachers, and high barriers to the implementat...

This article examines how Jenni Fagan’s The Panopticon portrays the traumatic experiences of marginalized youth subjected to institutional surveillance and social exclusion. Drawing on trauma theory, Foucauldian panopticism, and resilience studies, it analyzes the ways trauma fragments identity while institutional labeling reinforces marginalization and stigma. Through the character of Anais Hendricks, the study highlights the psychological effects of abuse, abandonment, and discipl...

This study investigates the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for predicting welding-induced transverse distortion in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding of 10 mm thick ASTM A36 mild steel plates. Experimental data from a Face-Centered Central Composite Design (FCCD) were used to train, validate, and test a feedforward ANN model with four input parameters (current, voltage, gas flow rate, and welding speed) to produce a single response output of transverse distortion. The ANN model de...
