‘Novelty’ through narrative and paratextual voice: The case of John Minford’s translation of ‘The laughing girl’

‘The Laughing Girl’ (‘Yingning’) is a short fictional story from Liaozhai zhiyi, a collection of uncanny and surreal stories written by the Chinese writer Pu Songling between the 1660s and 1720s. The stories have been made available for anglophone readers as Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio published in 2006, canonised by Penguin Classics and the translator John Minford, whose approach rooted in ‘nouvelle Chinoiserie’ imbues the tales with a sense of novelty or strangeness, both textually and paratextually. In this study, we will investigate how Minford foregrounds the story’s novelty with his translator’s voice in the translated text. Comparison and analysis reveal that on the textual level, Minford’s shifting focalisation and narrative voice accentuates the strangeness in ‘The Laughing Girl’ and that his additions in terms of characterisation construct Yingning an even more outlandish fox spirit. On the paratextual level, he foregrounds the text’s novelty at the expense of other themes, such as the moral edification or social critique. Minford’s unique perspective on and approach to the source text align with the publisher’s aim to appeal to a general readership, leading him to highlight the text’s exoticism in his translation. Although Minford’s translation is both accessible and stylistically deft, it appears to reduce Strange Tales to a mere anthology of the bizarre and grotesque while constructing an ‘imagined and ethereal orient’, as is clearly indicated by the corpus-assisted readers’ reception analysis.

Case Report: The combined effect of endometrial receptivity array and laser assisted hatching on embryo implantation in repeated implantation failure case

This case report describes a couple with nine years of primary infertility and three failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts that showed no reproductive abnormality. Negative results were observed following the conventional IVF protocol. The couple then insisted on laser-assisted hatching (LAH) and endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA). The ERA results showed a specific window for embryo implantation, and accordingly, the treatment was carried out, which resulted in seven good-quality oocytes, leading to the formation of four blastocyst-stage embryos. These embryos were then frozen, single embryo transfer (ET) was performed following the ERA results, and the embryos were successfully implanted. The βhCG level was 245 mIU/mL, indicating that the female had successfully conceived. This case highlights the challenges of a thick zona pellucida and recurrent implantation failure (RIF), defining how a personalized method combining both LAH and ERA could lead to successful implantation.

The endometrial transcriptome of infertile women with and without implantation failure.

Implantation failure after transferring morphologically "good-quality" embryos in invitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) may be explained by impaired endometrial receptivity. Analyzing the endometrial transcriptome analysis may reveal the underlying processes and could help in guiding prognosis and using targeted interventions for infertility. This exploratory study investigated whether the endometrial transcriptome profile was associated with short-term or long-term implantation outcomes (ie success or failure). Mid-luteal phase endometrial biopsies of 107 infertile women with one full failed IVF/ICSI cycle, obtained within an endometrial scratching trial, were subjected to RNA-sequencing and differentially expressed genes analysis with covariate adjustment (age, body mass index, luteinizing hormone [LH]-day). Endometrial transcriptomes were compared between implantation failure and success groups in the short term (after the second fresh IVF/ICSI cycle) and long term (including all fresh and frozen cycles within 12 months). The short-term analysis included 85/107 women (33 ongoing pregnancy vs 52 no pregnancy), excluding 22/107 women. The long-term analysis included 46/107 women (23 'fertile' group, ie infertile women with a live birth after ≤3 embryos transferred vs 23 recurrent implantation failure group, ie no live birth after ≥3 good quality embryos transferred), excluding 61/107 women not fitting these categories. As both analyses drew from the same pool of 107 samples, there was some sample overlap. Additionally, cell type enrichment scores and endometrial receptivity were analyzed, and an endometrial development pseudo-timeline was constructed to estimate transcriptomic deviations from the optimum receptivity day (LH + 7), denoted as ΔWOI (window of implantation). There were no significantly differentially expressed genes between implantation failure and success groups in either the short-term or long-term analyses. Principal component analysis initially showed two clusters in the long-term analysis, unrelated to clinical phenotype and no longer distinct following covariate adjustment. Cell type enrichment scores did not differ significantly between groups in both analyses. However, endometrial receptivity analysis demonstrated a potentially significant displacement of the WOI in the non-pregnant group compared with the ongoing pregnant group in the short-term analysis. No distinct endometrial transcriptome profile was associated with either implantation failure or success in infertile women. However, there may be differences in the extent to which the WOI is displaced.

Unlocking Infertility: Enhancing Pregnancy Rates With Personalized Embryo Transfers Using Optimal Time for Endometrial Receptivity Analysis in Recurrent Implantation Failure Patients Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization.

Background Infertility remains a significant global challenge, and recurrent implantation failure (RIF) poses a considerable concern in assisted reproductive technology. Understanding the factors contributing to implantation failure is essential for developing accurate diagnostic tools and treatment strategies. Endometrial receptivity (ER) during the window of implantation is crucial for successful embryo implantation in in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Molecular-based endometrial receptivity analysis and next-generation sequencing provide insights into ER, but there is a lack of research on these in the Indian population, particularly in patients with RIF. This retrospective cohort study evaluates the effectiveness of Optimal Timing for Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (OpERA)-guided personalized embryo transfer (pET) in Indian patients with a history of RIF. Methodology The study includes 158 female patients with a history of failed embryo transfers who underwent OpERA testing before frozen embryo transfer. Patients were categorized based on the number of previous failed transfers. OpERA outcomes were assessed, and clinical outcomes were compared between groups undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) with and without OpERA. Endometrial preparation involved hormone replacement therapy, and OpERA testing was performed at the Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine using RNA extraction, cDNA conversion, and sequencing. Results OpERA outcomes showed no significant differences in receptive rates among patient groups. Group 3, with three or more failed transfers, exhibited significantly higher biochemical pregnancy rates (BPRs), clinical pregnancy rates (CPRs), and abortion rates (ARs) compared to Groups 1 and 2. OpERA with PGT-A showed significantly higher BPR, implantation rate, CPR, and lower AR compared to OpERA without PGT-A. Conclusions OpERA-guided pET, especially with PGT-A, demonstrated improved pregnancy outcomes, particularly in patients with a history of RIF. The study emphasizes the importance of OpERA in determining optimal transfer timing, moving beyond the traditional reliance on embryo quality alone.OpERA presents promise in predicting pregnancy outcomes for Indian patients with previous IVF failures. The integration of OpERA and PGT-A represents a significant advancement in personalized reproductive medicine, offering new hope for individuals grappling with infertility complexities.

Followers' Reception of Anies Baswedan's Image on the @pinterpolitik Social Media Account

Instagram has developed into a media tool in political dynamics. Political content on Instagram can build opinions for media audiences (followers) who access it, so followers become strategic targets for receiving political messages through constructed content. This study aims to describe the followers' reception of Anies Baswedan's image as a 2024 presidential candidate on the @pinterpolitik account. This research method uses a qualitative approach with an interpretative paradigm. Data analysis is used to conclude the reception of @pinterpolitik account followers. The data collection technique uses the in-depth interview method. Informants were selected based on the @pinterpolitik followers who are university students. Reception analysis is used to determine the implications of research subjects for messages in mass media. Stuart Hall's decoding and encoding theory divides followers' positions into three categories to find reception patterns: dominant-hegemonic, negotiation, and opposition. The results of this study show that informants who are followers are in a dominant hegemonic position in receiving information about Anies Baswedan on the @pinterpolitik account. This tendency to gather information from the account is based on their trust in the independence of the @pinterpolitik account in disseminating information. Moreover, every information disseminated has valid and accountable sources and data. Based on the assessment based on information on the @pinterpolitik account, Anies Baswedan's image is positively assessed as an intellectual individual, organized rhetoric, narrating according to data, and a religious individual.

Dynamic Receptance Analysis Combined with Hybrid FE-SEA Method to Predict Structural Noise from Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge in Urban Rail Transit

In this study, dynamic receptance analysis (DRA) is proposed and combined with hybrid finite element (FE)-statistical energy analysis (SEA) method to accurately predict structural noise from long-span cable-stayed bridge (LSCB) with steel box composite girder (SBCG) in urban rail transit (URT). To begin with, a vertical vehicle–track coupling model in frequency domain is established based on DRA, in which the rail is represented by an infinite Timoshenko beam supported by a series of fasteners that are regarded as springs with complex stiffness. The floating slab is regarded as the Euler beam with both ends free supported by steel springs. Using this model, the spectrums of the wheel–rail force and the forces transferred to the bridge can be efficiently obtained by taking rail roughness as the excitation. Due to the low modal density of the concrete deck, the hybrid FE-SEA method is introduced to establish the noise prediction model, in which the discontinuity caused by using distinct models for different frequency bands is avoided. Then the on-site noise tests of a LSCB with SBCG in URT are carried out to verify of the proposed method. Finally, based on the prediction method, the acoustic contributions of the bridge components are analyzed in detail. The force transfer characteristics as well as the noise reduction effects of different track structures are thoroughly investigated, so as to provide reference for the future research on bridge-borne noise control.

Investigating Receptivity and Affect Using Machine Learning: Ecological Momentary Assessment and Wearable Sensing Study.

As mobile health (mHealth) studies become increasingly productive owing to the advancements in wearable and mobile sensor technology, our ability to monitor and model human behavior will be constrained by participant receptivity. Many health constructs are dependent on subjective responses, and without such responses, researchers are left with little to no ground truth to accompany our ever-growing biobehavioral data. This issue can significantly impact the quality of a study, particularly for populations known to exhibit lower compliance rates. To address this challenge, researchers have proposed innovative approaches that use machine learning (ML) and sensor data to modify the timing and delivery of surveys. However, an overarching concern is the potential introduction of biases or unintended influences on participants' responses when implementing new survey delivery methods. This study aims to demonstrate the potential impact of an ML-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) delivery system (using receptivity as the predictor variable) on the participants' reported emotional state. We examine the factors that affect participants' receptivity to EMAs in a 10-day wearable and EMA-based emotional state-sensing mHealth study. We study the physiological relationships indicative of receptivity and affect while also analyzing the interaction between the 2 constructs. We collected data from 45 healthy participants wearing 2 devices measuring electrodermal activity, accelerometer, electrocardiography, and skin temperature while answering 10 EMAs daily, containing questions about perceived mood. Owing to the nature of our constructs, we can only obtain ground truth measures for both affect and receptivity during responses. Therefore, we used unsupervised and supervised ML methods to infer affect when a participant did not respond. Our unsupervised method used k-means clustering to determine the relationship between physiology and receptivity and then inferred the emotional state during nonresponses. For the supervised learning method, we primarily used random forest and neural networks to predict the affect of unlabeled data points as well as receptivity. Our findings showed that using a receptivity model to trigger EMAs decreased the reported negative affect by >3 points or 0.29 SDs in our self-reported affect measure, scored between 13 and 91. The findings also showed a bimodal distribution of our predicted affect during nonresponses. This indicates that this system initiates EMAs more commonly during states of higher positive emotions. Our results showed a clear relationship between affect and receptivity. This relationship can affect the efficacy of an mHealth study, particularly those that use an ML algorithm to trigger EMAs. Therefore, we propose that future work should focus on a smart trigger that promotes EMA receptivity without influencing affect during sampled time points.

Screen and faith: Mediatization of religion through docudrama

The background of this current research is the shift in the pattern of fulfilling the need for religiosity. The purpose is to examine the mediatization of faith (religion) through media (docudrama). The research question is how docudrama mediatizes faith. The method applied was rhetorical criticism in communication research. This method signifies text and audience’s reception and corresponds to qualitative textual and reception analysis. This current research particularly adapted Jensen’s (2002) media-audience qualitative reception design. The procedure adapted from Frey, et al. (1999) included selecting Solusi docudrama and viewers’ comments on YouTube channel as data, describing themes by identifying elements and inter-relatedness among scenes, analyzing the salient ideas embedded within the themes, interpreting the narrative structure, and evaluating the persuasive force of messages supported by the viewers’ comments. The findings show that docudrama mediatizes religion by representing the interconnection of notions between religiosity-spirituality and individuality-community, the notions of religion in the dramatization frame, and by producing the audience’s pseudo model of reading. In conclusion, media (docudrama) mediatizes faith (religion) by representing the religious frames from a universal and psychic point of view. Mediatization of faith does not merely meet the needs for religiosity but alters the outlook of religion.

Performance Analysis of MRC Diversity Reception Over Double Hoyt Fading Channels

Russian translations of Stefan Mallarmé's poem "Apparition"

The subject of this article is the analysis of the translation reception S. Mallarmé's poem "Apparition" (1863). Based on Mallarmé's theory of poetry and symbol, the author examines the role of metaphorical transference in the creation of symbols. The research objectives include a comparative analysis of the translations of Bryusov and Talov. The main attention is paid to the analysis of translation strategies, the adequacy of the transmission of meaning and the emotional coloring of the original, which will allow to conclude about such an approach to the translation of Mallarmé's works, which helps to most fully recreate the author's intention. In the course of the study, a biographical method was used to establish a connection between the biography of the poet and the features of the literary work created by him. Linguistic analysis allowed to analyze the linguistic and artistic features of the original and translations of the work. Comparative method allowed us to draw a conclusion about the techniques necessary for the translator to recreate the poetics of the original. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the insufficient study of the problem. In addition, the poem "Apparition" had not previously become the object of close attention of Russian researchers, despite the high aesthetic qualities of the work and the existing translation multiplicity. As a result of the research, the peculiarities of perception and transmission of metaphorical images of light in the translations of V. Bryusov and M. Talov into Russian were revealed. The main conclusion of the study of the translation reception of Mallarmé's lyrics by Russian poets will be that when translating, it is necessary not only to recreate the poetic plot, but most of all to strive to convey the mood and impressions created in the original text.
