Abstract

This thesis investigates Gu Hongming's English translation of three Confucian classics Lunyu (1898), Zhongyong (1906) and Daxue (1915). Rather than regarding Gu's work as extreme domestication, this study reinterprets it as a hybrid translation by considering his ambiguous view of culture in a specific historical context. The focus is on how Gu translated China to the Anglophone world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which is examined through a transdisciplinary approach of postcolonialism, cultural studies, diaspora studies and comparative literature, and a combination of contextual and textual analyses. This study also draws on a variety of primary materials, such as Gu's English writings, periodicals, and archival materials of his private correspondence with James Stewart Lockhart and Richard Wilhelm, in order to unfold what role translation played in re-envisioning the cultural exchange between China and Anglophone countries. This thesis explores the multi-layered dimensions of Gu's hybrid translation from three perspectives: diasporic, postcolonial and linguo-cultural. It examines the role of the translator by analyzing how Gu's diasporic experience structured his ambiguous and ambivalent cultural consciousness, which influenced the way in which he translated Confucian classics. Through a postcolonial reading of Gu's motivation, thought, as well as religious and political rendition of Confucian texts, this thesis investigates the complexity of hybrid translation as a negotiating process involving tension, resistance, ambiguity, interplay and creation. This study further analyzes how Gu's distinctive hybrid strategy reveals the dynamics of translation, and indicates the ethical appeal of Self and Other. Moreover, this thesis explores how Gu's hybrid translation reflects on various themes such as linguo-cultural (in)commensurability, (un)translatability, and the relationship between foreignization and domestication. As a case study, this thesis probes into hybridity as a constructive yet ruptured term in translation studies.

Abstract

The study explored the relationship between teacher assessments of students' general language-cognitive and social-emotional abilities and Chinese children's reading development over an academic year. A series of reading measures (including reading vocabulary, reading comprehension, and lexical inferencing ability) were administered to Chinese-speaking second graders (N = 123) across time. Meanwhile, their six head teachers and assistant head teachers were asked to complete assessments of their language-cognitive and social-emotional abilities prior to the first data collection. By utilizing multivariate analyses, the results demonstrated that teacher-assessed linguistic and social abilities contributed to children's reading abilities within and across time after autoregressive effects were controlled for. More specifically, language and cognitive abilities made a more salient contribution to reading performance over time. The study suggests that teacher assessments could have diagnostic and preventive functions for enhancing sustainable reading development among Chinese elementary-age students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Organ transplantation has become a powerful strategy for the treatment of malignant diseases. Nevertheless, graft rejection is one of the main factors affecting graft survival after organ transplantation. Under this circumstance, the transplant-related mortality still keeps up. This invention includes the precise medication guidance of Tacrolimus (FK506) inapplicable population, against the side-effects of this drug. This invention, based on second-generation sequencing, has the advantages of relatively low cost and high sequencing throughput. During the design process, we collect the data of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) concerning the adverse drug reactions of Tacrolimus. Then we filter and summarize fifteen SNPs basing on importance degree (level >key enzyme>race). Thenceforth, after the process of analyzing the raw extract by operating BWA, Picard-tools, GATK, and Perl, we annotate SNPs by Annovar. Through this innovation, people can obtain further feedback on drugs that targets different genes in order to achieve the purpose of precision medication and minimizing the risks of misusing Tacrolimus. panel design database selection path pharmgkb pubred drugbank SNPs Level Level1,2,3 filtering conduit Key Enzyme V Key Enzyme ENDe Eastern Asian Figure

14. Non-coding RNAs in acute ischemic stroke: from brain to periphery.

Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke is a clinical emergency and a condition with high morbidity, mortality, and disability. Accurate predictive, diagnostic, and prognostic biomarkers and effective therapeutic targets for acute ischemic stroke remain undetermined. With innovations in high-throughput gene sequencing analysis, many aberrantly expressed non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the brain and peripheral blood after acute ischemic stroke have been found in clinical samples and experimental models. Differentially expressed ncRNAs in the post-stroke brain were demonstrated to play vital roles in pathological processes, leading to neuroprotection or deterioration, thus ncRNAs can serve as therapeutic targets in acute ischemic stroke. Moreover, distinctly expressed ncRNAs in the peripheral blood can be used as biomarkers for acute ischemic stroke prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis. In particular, ncRNAs in peripheral immune cells were recently shown to be involved in the peripheral and brain immune response after acute ischemic stroke. In this review, we consolidate the latest progress of research into the roles of ncRNAs (microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs) in the pathological processes of acute ischemic stroke-induced brain damage, as well as the potential of these ncRNAs to act as biomarkers for acute ischemic stroke prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis. Findings from this review will provide novel ideas for the clinical application of ncRNAs in acute ischemic stroke., (Copyright © 2025 Copyright: © 2025 Neural Regeneration Research.)
