Co-authorship by PhD students and their supervisors
Research in the Arts and Humanities, including Translation Studies, has tended to follow a lone researcher model. As the research landscape changes, however, co-authoring is coming more to the fore. This poses particular challenges when PhD students and their supervisors contemplate co-authorship, because of the power imbalance inherent in the supervisory relationship. This article reports on a research project that explores attitudes of PhD stud…

Fan-driven paratextuality in the audios
This paper explores a new frontier in Chinese translation fandom: the rise of fan podcasting. Against the backdrop of post-fansubbing, we examine how fan podcasters reconfigure media translation by mobilising audio practices that traverse linguistic, cultural, and technological boundaries. The term post-fansubbing refers to the evolving fan translation culture that emerged following the dissolution of YYeTsin February 2021, once the most prominen…
The knowledge paradox
Background Older men (≥50 years) in China face elevated HIV infection risks, yet HIV stigma remains a significant barrier to prevention. Although HIV knowledge is frequently assumed to reduce stigma, the evidence is inconsistent. This cross-sectional study examined the association between HIV knowledge and stigma among older men in Southwest China, specifically investigating potential nonlinear patterns within sociocultural contexts. Methods We c…
Translated from English or created in Spanish? The reception of audio description for video games
Video gaming has gained immense popularity as a form of entertainment all around the world. However, most games are not fully accessible for players with visual disabilities. Audio description (AD) translates visual elements into spoken words, thus making games accessible to players with vision loss. The TransAD4games project aims to explore the creation and translation of audio descriptions for video games to improve game accessibility across la…
HIV/Aids knowledge and stigma attitudes among older men in Sichuan Province, Southwest China
This study identifies a low-knowledge-high-stigma pattern among older men in Sichuan, Southwest China, which may be influenced by historical fear-based health messaging and conservative sociocultural norms. Although awareness of HIV/AIDS knowledge was associated with lower stigma attitudes, education level, and sexual attitudes demonstrated more potent effects. These findings underscore the need for integrated interventions that combine knowledge…
Patients’ response during the co-circulation of multiple respiratory diseases in China—based on the self-regulation common-sense model
Background: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, another large-scale respiratory epidemic has emerged in China, causing significant social impact and disruption. The article is to explore the patients' psychological and behavioral responses to the enhancement of healthcare quality. Methods: Based on the five dimensions of the Self-Regulation Common-Sense Model, we developed an interview outline to explore the process by which patients identify diseas…
Towards a practice of translanguaging subtitling for the mediatised articulation of fangyan
This article addresses an underexplored intersection between subtitling and translanguaging with reference to the representation of diverse Chinese fangyan in hip-hop music videos. Drawing on recent progress in the intersection between translanguaging and Translation Studies, the article sketches the multilingualism of the Han ethnic majority and its precarious existence under the governmental policy and language planning of China. Second, it con…

Privacy and everyday users of machine translation
The concept of privacy is central to technology use, but in machine translation (MT) research the meaning of privacy, and what it represents to everyday MT users, are both often left unquestioned. This article examines user conceptualisations of privacy and their implications for the understanding of human-MT interaction. It draws on the privacy literature, on an online forum and on a survey of MT users. The findings show that while users have co…
Role of uric acid as a biomarker of cognitive function in schizophrenia during maintenance period
Uric acid may be used as a simple objective biological indicator to assess cognition in SCZ during maintenance period

The Mukokuseki Strategy and the Application of Pivot Translation in the Localization of Japanese Games
This article investigates the impact of using pivot language on the quality of game localization via a case study on the Japanese game Dark Souls 3 . It first discusses the indirectness of the source text and the complexity of the target text in game localization by highlighting the “born translated” nature of the game narrative design. It then explicates the intricacy of having game audio voiced over in English only and including both direct and…
Offensive Screens
Between late 1936 and early 1937 Italy and China became embroiled in a series of diplomatic exchanges about two controversial films. One was Abyssinia (dir. Kopalin, 1936), a Soviet documentary feature about Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia, whose screening in a Shanghai cinema triggered a riot in February 1937. The other was The General Died at Dawn (dir. Milestone, 1936), a Paramount melodrama set in 1920s war-torn China whose international exhibit…
Association between lipid metabolism and cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia
The present study suggests a positive association between lipids and cognitive function in schizophrenic patients and needs to be further verified by a prospective study
Developmental Validation of the Novel Six-Dye GoldeneyeTM DNA ID System 35InDel Kit for Forensic Application
Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) have been treated as a prospective and helpful genetic marker in the fields of forensic human identification, anthropology and population genetics for the past few years. In this study, we developed a six-dye multiplex typing system consisting of 34 autosomal InDels and Amelogenin for forensic application. The contained InDels were specifically selected for Chinese population with the MAF ≥ 0.25 in East A…
Multi-Locus Identification of Psilocybe Cubensis by High-Resolution Melting (HRM)
Hallucinogenic mushroom is a kind of toxic strain containing psychoactive tryptamine substances such as psilocybin, psilocin and ibotenic acid, etc. The mushrooms containing hallucinogenic components are various, widely distributed and lack of standard to define, which made a great challenge to identification. Traditional identification methods, such as morphology and toxicology analysis, showed shortcomings in old or processed samples, while the…
Long-term changes of regional ozone in China
The first Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) provides information on present-day distributions and long-term trends of ozone metrics relevant for climate change, human health, and vegetation. However, only few results are available in TOAR for China due to limited long-term ozone observations. Here, we present an integrated analysis of long-term measurements of surface ozone from eight sites distributed in the North China Plain (NCP) and…
Genetic investigation and phylogenetic analysis of three Chinese ethnic groups using 16 X chromosome STR loci
Background: The value of using X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (X-STRs) as genetic markers in human genetics has been widely recognised. However, the 16 X-STRs in the Goldeneye ® DNA ID System 17X kit have not been thoroughly applied. Aim: To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 16 X-STRs in three main ethnic minorities (Tibetan, Mongolian and Kazakh) in China and to reveal the phylogenetic relationships of different populations. Subjects …

Validation of the Investigator 24plex QS Kit
The Investigator 24plex QS Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) is a 6-dye fluorescent chemistry short tandem repeat (STR) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification system that simultaneously amplifies 20 of the expanded Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) core STR loci, SE33, DYS391, and the standard sex-determining locus, amelogenin, as well as two special internal performance quality sensor controls (QS1 and QS2), which are included in the primer m…
Key factors for assessing climate benefits of natural gas versus coal electricity generation
Assessing potential climate effects of natural gas versus coal electricity generation is complicated by the large number of factors reported in life cycle assessment studies, compounded by the large number of proposed climate metrics. Thus, there is a need to identify the key factors affecting the climate effects of natural gas versus coal electricity production, and to present these climate effects in as clear and transparent a way as possible. …
Censorship and Digital Games Localisation in China
Censorship and translation is a topic that has received substantial attention in academic circles in recent years. Although much of the research has focused on the interrelationship between these two areas, censorship systems and their influence on audiovisual translation, especially digital games localisation, has not been fully examined within the scope of translation studies. This article aims to fill that gap by investigating censorial operat…
