Literary translation on digital platforms. Intermedial and sonic perspectives

ABSTRACT This article examines literary translation in relation to digital media. Using a medium-focused communication model, the author explores the spatial and sonic dimensions of literary translation in digitally mediated environments. It examines how the relational dynamics of digital infrastructures reshapes the communicative framework of literary translation, expanding it to incorporate multimedial and multimodal perspectives that reflect the complexities of the (post-)digital age. As we enter the second half of the digital revolution, the essay argues for the need to recognize the digital—platforms, tools, and algorithms—as a key factor in shaping translators’ understandings of modality and mediality. The paper highlights the often-overlooked role of textuality in connecting literary translation with digital spaces, challenging the prevailing focus on print in current research. Although studies have addressed literary translation in the context of the technoscape, media convergence, and translators as agents of change, the material impact of digital infrastructures on translated literary texts remains insufficiently explored. This paper advocates for a more nuanced understanding of the communicative models underpinning literary translation, emphasizing the importance of medium-awareness and platform relationality to advance our understanding of literary translation in the digital age.

CCOA‐AdaLS: Hybrid Beamforming Using Chaotic Chebyshev Aquila Optimization for mmWave Massive MIMO

ABSTRACTThis research aims to design hybrid analog and digital beamforming to improve the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and spectral efficiency (SE) of communication links. Considering the complexity and cost associated with fully connected multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) communication models, a partially connected system model is adopted for the downlink millimeter‐wave (mmWave) communication model. The analog beamforming utilizes the adaptive search (AdaLS) algorithm to minimize interference and enhance user power, whereas digital beamforming is optimized using the proposed Chaotic Chebyshev Aquila Optimization (CCAO) algorithm. The CCAO algorithm integrates chaotic Chebyshev–based solution mapping with the conventional Aquila Optimization Algorithm to enhance exploration capability. The system model is illustrated, and the problem is formulated to maximize the signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) through the selection of the required signal at the receiver. The digital beamformer is designed using Lagrange's multiplier, and the analog beamformer is optimized using AdaLS. The proposed CCAO algorithm is detailed, incorporating chaotic dynamics to explore the solution space effectively. The research evaluates the performance of the proposed method against conventional approaches, showcasing improved normalized beam gain and SINR.

Комбинаторика вербальных и невербальных кодов сообщений (на примере интернет-публикаций веб-сайта Reddit.com)

Reddit.com provides an excellent example of interactive digital communication. Reddit comments and posts organize information in line with certain rules of coding and decoding. They convey meanings by semiotically heterogeneous verbal and non-verbal means. The article describes various combinations of communication codes that act as a communication tool, i.e., verbal, linguistic, verbal-visual, verbal-auditory, and verbal-kinesthetic. The research objective was to identify the structural and communicative organization of semiotically heterogeneous texts in the dynamics of interpersonal Internet communication. The research involved standard methods and covered publications on Reddit.com connected with the activities of the SpaceX corporation. The combinatorics of message codes formed a set of modes and modalities. They were actualized as a model of Internet communication with speech events in a communicative act subjected to regulation and modification, i.e., confirmation / refutation, approval, accusation, ignoring, etc., depending on the channel of perception and understanding. The combinatorics of verbal and non-verbal communication codes made it possible to model and classify the information and communication organization of online publications of the SpaceX business subreddit. The integration of the language system into complex semiotic systems helps to describe mental processes and human cognitive activity. It shapes new views and beliefs, as well as increases the effectiveness of communication.

Industry professionals speak: It's all about messages – Except when it isn’t

Engaging and guiding the public to accept new, green fuels carries manifold challenges for communication. This article employs interview data to explore how communications professionals in the Australian energy sector speak about communicative aspects of their jobs. One key finding is that research participants initially describe work to be about making and sending telemediated messages. When prompted for further detail, however, professionals acknowledge the weakness of this approach and stress the need – and incommensurable value of – direct person-to-person engagement. Implications for both communication practice and communication theory are connected to this finding and are discussed via a reformed process model of communication. In so doing, potential opportunities for closing the gap between what communications professionals do and what they would prefer to do in the future are illuminated.

ANTMAC: Addressing Novel Congestion Technique Hybrid Model for Collision Control in IoT-based Environments using Contention-based MAC Protocol

In the communication model of the OSI layer, the Media access control (MAC) layer has been given higher priority than other layers. It is a sub-layer of the data link layer, mainly controlling the physical equipment and interacting with the channels over the Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes. Mac layers have used two protocol types: contention-based and contention-free during transmission. These two protocols have controlled the physical equipment and data transmission for the last decade. Yet in the MAC layers transmission, some challenging issues are complicated to resolve. Data collisions are the significant changing issues at the MAC layer. As per the survey of researchers, the contention-based protocol is more affected by collision due to allowing the sharing of channels to all nodes over networks. As a result, it has got message delay, demanding more energy, data loss, and retransmission. The researcher always focuses on reducing collision during transmission to overcome these issues. They mainly evaluate the priority-based collision control using the contention-based protocol. In this ANTMAC model, we have considered the lower energy nodes’ priority to enhance the likelihood that a node will gain access to the transmission channel before its power and batteries run out. Our recommended method ANTMAC outperforms ECM-MAC in terms of content retrieval time (CRT), total no of retransmission (TNR), total energy consumption (TEcm), throughput and network lifetime (NLT).

Simulation-Based Learning as a Tool for Assessing and Fostering Awareness of Empathic Patterns in Teacher Education

Simulation-Based Learning (SBL) in education has demonstrated significant potential in preparing participants to effectively address future challenges in a dynamic and ever-changing world. Empathy, as a multidimensional skill, is fundamental to successfully navigate these complex situations. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of SBL in enhancing student teachers’ awareness and understanding of empathy’s multifaceted nature. Using a quasi-experimental design, 232 students participated in courses that integrated empathy instruction with simulation workshop experiences. The students used a rubric based on the Empathetic Patterns in Interpersonal Communication (EPIC) model, developed and validated by the authors in prior studies, to identify empathic patterns in two videotaped simulations shown to them at the beginning and end of the course. The same task was completed by seven content experts in empathy and psychology, as well as six experienced simulation workshop instructors serving as clinical experts. Additionally, the students responded to open-ended questions suggesting various expressions of empathy. The results indicated that SBL workshops, when integrated into a teaching framework that addresses empathy and analyzed through a structured rubric, can serve as an effective platform for enhancing students’ ability to identify and understand empathic patterns.

Speech Emotional Recognition of Telephone Conversation by Using Deep Learning

In this research, we have compare two clustering algorithms, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to support the SER model for voice communication. We proposed an approach to speech emotion recognition in telephone conversations using a combination of Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) for audio feature extraction. Only the zeroth coefficient (energy) of MFCC will be used, as energy can provide a good representation for sound. The extracted results are then classified using CNN and RNN. The CNN algorithm consistently achieved a higher accuracy than RNN with the values of 0.93 at epoch=50, 0.93 at epoch=100, 0.90 at epoch=150, and 0.93 at epoch=200. But the RNN algorithm has a faster training times than CNN. For optimizer test, Adam optimizer performs well for both models with respective accuracy values of 0.93 and 0.94, outperforming other optimizers for accuracy.

Extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) in Switzerland: From exposure monitoring to daily exposure scenarios

Exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) is ubiquitous in our daily environment. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the ambient ELF-MF exposure in Switzerland and presents a novel environmental exposure matrix for exposure assessment and risk communication. Magnetic flux density levels (µT) were measured using a portable exposimeter carried in a backpack for the main ELF sources: railway power (16.7 Hz), domestic power (50 Hz), and tram ripple current (300 Hz). We collected ELF-MF levels between 2022 and 2024 in various environments representative of the Swiss population: 300 outdoor areas (e.g. city centres, residential areas), 245 public spaces (e.g. train stations, schools), 348 transport journeys (e.g. train, cars), and in 59 homes (e.g. bedrooms, living rooms). Over all environments, the highest ELF-MF exposure levels were measured in train stations (median: 0.48 µT), trains (median: 0.40 µT), and in living rooms near (<200 m) highest voltage lines of 220 kV and 380 kV (median: 0.37 µT). ELF-MF median levels measured two years apart showed high Pearson correlation coefficients in the same 150 outdoor areas (r = 0.88) and 86 public spaces (r = 0.87), without any significant changes. All measurements are well below the Swiss ambient regulatory limit based on the ICNIRP 1998 guidelines (median: 0.2 %). Finally, we derived an environmental exposure matrix and modelled 27 daily time-weighted average ELF-MF exposure scenarios by combining typical time spent at home, work and transport environments. People who do not live near highest voltage lines or work in highly exposed environments are typically exposed to less than 0.3 µT on average, while those who do are likely to exceed this level. This novel environmental exposure matrix is a useful tool for public communication and agent-based exposure modelling for future epidemiological research.

Sign and Expression in Performing Stravinsky's Neoclassical Works

The signs and expressions on the sheet music are the pivotal point of communication between the composer’s idea of the musical work and the musician’s interpretation. Performing Stravinsky’s neoclassical works is challenging because he gives guidance through various media and on several intellectual levels through his books, scores, and recordings. In a multi-layered communication model, the differences and discrepancies between his writings, the vocabulary of articulation in his published scores, and his interpretations of his music on recordings will be analysed. In performing his neoclassical works, it is necessary to bear in mind the subjective and intersubjective approach to interpretation in the way Stravinsky demonstrates in his recordings and especially in the vocabulary of articulation signs in neoclassical works.

Regional Government Public Relations Communication Model in Handling Hoax Information during the Pandemic

This research aims to describe the management of regional government public relations messages and communication media in handling information hoaxes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The widespread spread of COVID-19 pandemic hoax information has increasingly increased public panic and anxiety, especially in Kendari City. For this reason, the Kendari City Government, through the public relations department, has made various communication efforts to prevent the spread of hoax information. Research data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation and analyzed using descriptive qualitative data analysis methods to provide a comprehensive picture of the object under study. Research informants were determined using purposive sampling. The results of the research show that the communication model implemented by Kendari City Government Public Relations in preventing COVID-19 pandemic hoaxes is carried out using a participatory communication model using all available communication channels as information media that can be easily accessed by the public. First, by carrying out a thorough identification of the information and hoax news that is being spread. Second, utilizing all types of communication channels available, such as outreach with Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) and the community, billboards, collaboration with online news media, partner information service institutions (Kominfo and the Pandemic task force), installing billboards and standing banners, and developing its official website.

A colonial depiction of human-nature relationships in Johann Krönlein’s Wortschatz der Khoikhoin

The 1889 dictionary Wortschatz der Khoikhoin (Namaquahottentotten) by missionary Johann Krönlein purports to provide a neutral depiction of the Nama language and culture through the example sentences accompanying its entries, yet a specific representation of colonial ideology is undeniable. The Nama sentences with parallel German translations had a distinctly negative tone, reflecting constant struggle, not only between people, but between humans and nature. This research argues that an emphasis on and negative depiction of the Nama people’s vulnerability to nature in the dictionary unconsciously served as a mechanism for designating the Nama as uncivilised in a post-Enlightenment Western paradigm, where nature was to be tamed, and civilisation required a separation from nature. In the article, Niklas Luhmann’s communication model and thoughts on systemic observation afford appreciation of the ways in which ideologies in Krönlein’s dictionary contributed to nineteenth century European society’s self-observation. An excerpt from Krönlein’s dictionary is analysed by the researcher and by means of artificial intelligence analysis to uncover the ideologically expressive depiction of Nama relationships with nature at the communicative levels of information and utterance. AI is also employed to allow comparison with a sample from another indigenous language dictionary published around the same time.

Evaluating an approach for communicating integrated risk scores for melanoma.

Integrated risk scores (polygenic and non-genetic risk factors) can facilitate risk-stratification, to inform targeted melanoma screening. This mixed-methods pilot study assessed satisfaction, attitudes, and psychosocial impact of a protocol for communicating integrated risk for melanoma using questionnaires (baseline and 1-month post-results) and semi-structured interviews. Affected and unaffected adults enroled in ongoing melanoma studies were recruited to receive their integrated risk booklets and attend a genetic counselling appointment. 35/73 consented to participate; 31 and 33 completed baseline and follow-up questionnaires, respectively. Participants rated the information as useful, felt it motivated favourable health behaviours and were satisfied with the quality and content of the booklet. All participants felt highly empowered managing melanoma risk at baseline and follow-up. Most participants were unsure or felt little to no control over preventing future melanomas, which did not change at follow-up (Chi-square p = 0.73). Genetic-specific distress, and uncertainty was low for all participants post-results. Qualitative interviews supported quantitative findings and highlighted importance of access to a clinician for results interpretation and risk-management. In this high-risk cohort, the communication model was acceptable, and did not result in negative psychosocial sequelae. Findings from this study highlight key considerations for effective communication and delivery of integrated risk which can be used to inform future research in more diverse cohorts for melanoma and other common conditions.

Multi-UAV Path Planning for Air-Ground Relay Communication Based on Mix-Greedy MAPPO Algorithm

With the continuous development of modern UAV technology and communication technology, UAV-to-ground communication relay has become a research hotspot. In this paper, a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) method based on the ε-greedy strategy and multi-agent proximal policy optimization (MAPPO) algorithm is proposed to address the local optimization problem, improving the communication efficiency and task execution capability of UAV cluster control. This paper explores the path planning problem in multi-UAV-to-ground relay communication, with a special focus on the application of the proposed Mix-Greedy MAPPO algorithm. The state space, action space, communication model, training environment, and reward function are designed by comprehensively considering the actual tasks and entity characteristics such as safe distance, no-fly zones, survival in a threatened environment, and energy consumption. The results show that the Mix-Greedy MAPPO algorithm significantly improves communication probability, reduces energy consumption, avoids no-fly zones, and facilitates exploration compared to other algorithms in the multi-UAV ground communication relay path planning task. After training with the same number of steps, the Mix-Greedy MAPPO algorithm has an average reward score that is 45.9% higher than the MAPPO algorithm and several times higher than the multi-agent soft actor-critic (MASAC) and multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) algorithms. The experimental results verify the superiority and adaptability of the algorithm in complex environments.

Cultural Behavior of Vietnamese High School Teachers in Online Teaching: Current Status and Implications

Although online teaching has become widespread, few studies have specifically examined teachers' cultural behavior within this context in Vietnam. To investigate teachers' cultural behavior, this article draws on theories of social behavior, interaction, media richness, and models of online communication. A quantitative survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted with 321 teachers and 602 high school students from multiple schools across three provinces/cities representing Vietnam's three regions (Hanoi in the North, Nghe An in the Central region, and Ho Chi Minh City in the South). The survey results indicate that some teachers still lack communication skills and exhibit inappropriate behaviors in the online environment. There are notable differences between teacher and student evaluations, and factors such as gender and teaching experience are found to influence teacher behavior. Based on these findings, the paper proposes strategies to enhance communication skills and cultural behavior in online teaching.
