This article presented the subtitles transparency from the Netflix series Baitu Tahir. Additionally, the implications of transparency were illustrated on dynamic equivalence. In this article, the Arabic and Indonesian subtitles were analyzed from the first episode, focusing on 569 data points using a descriptive qualitative comparative method. In this study, Venuti's theory identified translation techniques, while Nida's theory examined dynamic equivalence. The analysis revealed that foreignization (literal translation, transposition, and borrowing) and domestication (omission, transposition, addition, and adaptation) are both employed, with 68 instances of foreignization and 501 of domestication. The findings indicated that domestication is used more frequently to create a natural effect in Indonesian, the target language (TL). The balance of dynamic equivalence and transparency was crucial for ensuring subtitle accessibility while preserving cultural nuances. The study underscores the importance of strategic translation choices in subtitling, ultimately contributing to a better understanding of how foreign and domestic elements influence viewers' comprehension and the overall quality of translated content on global platforms like Netflix.

As the development of photovoltaic (PV) power generation continuously accelerated the total installed capacity of PV, the traditional static load model is difficult to meet the needs of the power grid with the increasing penetration of PV. And the dynamic model of grid-connected PV power generation is complicated and there are plenty parameters need to be identified, so the dynamic model of grid-connected PV power generation are extremely challenging to apply in wide-area power system. In this paper, a discrete-time equivalent model of PV (PDEM) is established based on the third-order dynamic differential equation of the PV power generation system and the parameters of the PDEM are identified using the least squares (LS) and the bat algorithm (BA). Besides, the dynamic characteristics of the PV power generation grid connected system with different permeability and the fitting residuals of the two methods is analyzed in the IEEE14-bus system incorporated into the PV system. The applicability of the PDEM is verified by setting short circuit grounding fault and changing the PV permeability and voltage dip. The simulation results demonstrate that the PDEM has a strong adaptability and good applicability in the case of high PV permeability with a wide application. And the applicability of the BA in identification of PDEM are given in this paper.

The proportion of renewable energy in the new power system is further increased, and the grid connected capacity of photovoltaic units has a trend of obvious improvement. The dynamic behavior of the photovoltaic (PV) power generation system at different permeabilities has a significant impact on the load characteristics of the power grid. However, the complex dynamic model of photovoltaic power generation grid connection and the large number of parameters to be identified increase the difficulty of practical application of the model. Therefore, a dynamic discrete equivalent model of the PV power generation model based on the physical model of the PV power generation model is established, and the parameters of the dynamic discrete equivalent model for the PV power generation model are obtained. The IEEE 14-bus system, which is subject to various PV permeabilities, is adopted to verify the superb dynamic characteristics of the proposed discrete equivalent model for the PV power generation in power system simulations. The pertinent simulation results show that the dynamic discrete equivalent model of the PV power generation system can accurately describe the dynamic characteristics of the PV power generation system with a high accuracy and an easy identification performance.

As large-scale wind turbines are connected to the grid, modeling studies of wind farms are essential to the power system dynamic research. Due to the large number of wind turbines in the wind farm, detailed modeling of each wind turbine leads to high model complexity and low simulation efficiency. An equivalent modeling method for the wind farm is needed to reduce the complexity. For wind farms with widely used doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs), the existing equivalent studies mainly focus on such continuous control parts as electrical control. These methods are unsuitable for the low voltage ride through (LVRT) part which is discontinuous due to switching control. Based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and density-based spatial clustering of applications (DBSCAN), this paper proposes an equivalent method for LVRT characteristics of wind farms. Firstly, the multi-turbine equivalent model of the wind farm is established. Each wind turbine in the model represents a cluster of wind turbines with similar voltage variation characteristics. A single equivalent transmission line connects all wind turbines to the power grid. By changing the terminal voltage threshold to enter LVRT, each equivalent turbine can be in different LVRT states. Secondly, an LVRT parameter optimization method based on PSO is used to obtain the dynamic parameters of the equivalent wind turbines. This method of parameter optimization is applicable to the equivalent of LVRT parameters. Thirdly, a clustering method based on DBSCAN is used to obtain suitable clusters of wind turbines. This clustering method can classify wind turbines with similar electrical distances into the same cluster. Finally, two examples are set up to verify the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, sub-synchronous oscillation incidents have been reported to happen globally, which seriously threatens the safe and stable operation of the power system. As the capacity of a single wind turbine generator is small, a wind farm with tens even hundreds of wind turbine generators makes the order of the model of the wind farm high with the wind turbine generators complex coupled with each other. Reasonable and effective equivalent modeling of the wind farm is the basis for the study on the reasons, characteristics and suppression of the oscillations in the wind power integrated power system. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of the existing relatively thorough methods for wind farm equivalent modeling is analyzed based on the recognition of the reasons for the sub-synchronous oscillations in the wind power integrated power system. Then the issues in the field of equivalent modeling of the wind farm that need to be further studied are summarized, hoping to provide references for the future study of small-signal dynamic equivalence of a wind power collecting system and sub-synchronous oscillations of the wind power integrated power system.

The equivalent simplification of large wind farms is essential for evaluating the safety of power systems. However, sub-synchronous oscillations can significantly affect the stability of power systems. Although detailed mathematical models of wind farms can help accurately analyze the oscillation mechanism, the solution process is complicated and may lead to problems such as the “dimensional disaster.” Therefore, this paper proposes a sub-synchronous frequency domain- equivalent modeling method for wind farms based on the nature of the equivalent resistance of the rotor, in order to analyze sub-synchronous oscillations accurately. To this end, Matlab/Simulink is used to simulate a detailed model, a single-unit model, and an equivalent model, considering a wind farm as an example. A simulation analysis is then performed under the sub-synchronous frequency to prove that the model is effective and that the wind farm equivalence model method is valid.

The article considers the problems of conveying verbal means of expressing humour in translation taking the American comedy “Sixteen Candles” by John Hughes as an example. The comparison of the original and its three translations (two voice-over translations and subtitles) made it possible to analyse in detail the verbal and non-verbal means of creating a humorous effect in the film and assess their interpretation in Russian in specific comic situations. Furthermore, in some cases we offer our own translation solutions. The problem of conveying humor is still one of the most difficult problems in audiovisual translation; it is often related to specific cultural peculiarities reflected in the speech of the source language speakers and the speakers of the target language. The relevance of the paper lies in the need for further research on the means of creating humour and the problems of its preservation in translation. The goal of the paper was to study the verbal and non-verbal means of creating humour in a particular comedy film, as well as to analyse and assess the effectiveness of their transfer in Russian translations. The following methods of analysing the data were employed: comparative-contrastive analysis, linguistic analysis, lexicographic analysis, situational analysis and functional-stylistic analysis. The study revealed some losses in translation usually caused by unjustified lexical replacements (mainly generalization), a change in the word‟s register (for instance, using a neutral literary word for a slang word) and resorting to outdated vocabulary. Besides that, translators often ignore non-verbal, situational means of creating humour and their influence the verbal description of the situation.

The daisy-chain connection of inverters is one of the basic configurations of the power collecting network in a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power generation farm. In this study, the total impact of a cluster of M similar inverters in daisy-chain connection in the PV farm is examined in the following two aspects: 1) aggregated representation of the cluster of inverters is derived for stability study based on the dynamic equivalence. The derivation confirms the rationality of representing the cluster of inverters by an aggregated inverter connected to the external system via an equivalent reactance, which is the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix of daisy-chain connection defined in the article. 2) Analysis is conducted to indicate that the risk of oscillatory instability may be collectively induced by all the inverters in the daisy-chain connection in the cluster. This explains why the increasing number of inverters may imply the possible instability risk of a PV farm. An example of a power system with a grid-connected PV power generation farm is presented in the article to demonstrate and evaluate the analytical conclusion obtained.

The article is aimed at studying some features of translation strategies used to convey the expressive potential of a poetic text with elements of mounting techniques, viewed through the prism of the rhythmic-syntactic level of organisation of the poetic text. The subject of analysis is enjambement, or verse (poetic) transference, which is a “dissonance” between the rhythmic division of poetic speech into poetic lines and the syntactic division of verbal material into syntagmas in verse, thereby affecting the rhythmic structure of the text. The poem by H.M. Enzensberger (born in 1929), “verteidigung der wölfe gegen die lämmer”, as well as the translation of the specified poem into Russian (“Protection of wolves from sheep”) made by Lev Ginzburg (1921-1980), are used as the factual material. The original poem is written in free rhythms and includes elements of mounting techniques. To achieve this goal, a complex methodology has been applied, which, in addition to structural-descriptive and comparative analyses, also involves elements of linguopoetic and linguo-stylistic approaches. The relevance of the presented work is primarily due to the translation perspective of the study, which required the involvement of the main provisions of the theory of dynamic equivalence by E. Nida, secondly, – to the fact that translation strategies are considered in terms of intercultural interaction, i.e. taking into account the culturally specific characteristics of the bearers of the source and target languages. Based on the results of the analysis, a conclusion has been made about the special role of verse transferences in the mounted lyrical poetry of H.M. Enzensberger, which are engaged in the creation of the “defamiliarisation” effect at the appropriate micro-level of the lyrical work. A comparative analysis of the texts in the source language and the target language indicates that the application of the main provisions of the theory of dynamic equivalence, as well as the relevant linguistic aspects of intercultural communication when translating poetic works, contributes to a most accurate preservation of the aesthetic effect and of the expressive potential inherent in the original poetic text with elements of mounting techniques.

As the number of wind farms (WFs) in urban power grids gradually increases, their dynamic equivalence is needed for stability analysis. This paper proposes a dynamic equivalence method for distributed multiple wind farms in an urban power grid. The key idea is to characterize wind farms dynamics and then use them for coherence by considering the differences between doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) and permanent magnet direct-drive synchronous generators (PMSG). The mathematical-physical models and operational control characteristics are firstly analyzed to find the essential attributes representing the dynamic characteristics. Then we introduce the similarity based on the dynamic timing warping (DTW) distances, which help construct the clustering index for coherency wind farms. Meanwhile, comprehensive constraints, which ensure the consistency of the urban power grid topology, are adequately considered. Finally, the parameters of coherent wind farms are aggregated based on the clustering groups. The proposed method is validated in an urban grid by the time-domain simulation.

Legal translation study is a contemporary and innovative topic in the field of translation studies. Analysis of the procedure of selecting and applying a legal equivalent in the target language is one of the issues in this area. Legal translation study answers this question with the Geneva jurilinguistics approach. The question posed in the present study are what are the rules of Geneva theory of jurilinguistics and to what extent are these rules implemented in the translation of Iranian legal concepts into French legal language? What is the solution of Geneva jurilinguistic theory for a legal translator and how should he choose equivalents? We first begin with a descriptive study of the theory of Geneva jurilinguistics from the point of view of Jean-Claude Gémar (principal theorist); Then, we will conduct a case study on the applicability of the solutions presented in this theory in translating Iranian legal concepts into French legal language.The corpus which was analyzed in this paper is the seventh book of the second volume of Iranian Civil Code on marriage and divorce. The main rule of this theory is the necessity of using a functional equivalent.The main purpose of this study is to evaluate,through a case study, how the functional equivalent of Iranian legal concepts is selected in the French legal language (target language), according to the rules set out in the Geneva theory of jurilinguistics. We want to examine the degree to which the chosen equivalents in French reflect the function and legal effect of the concept in question in Iranian law, and in other words, to what extent the function changes when the concept is transferred; What is the reason for this functional change; What factors influence this change; To what extent is the study of comparative law effective in educating the translator of the factors causing these changes, and whether the transfer and translation of the Iranian legal concept into french language (and french legal system) can be achieved without functional change.

The aim of this article is to analyse the scope of formal and dynamic equivalence in three press releases published by the European Commission in April 2020. The discussed press releases refer to the issue of the coronavirus pandemic and various measures taken by the Commission as a response to the crisis caused by the pandemic. Simultaneously, a particular attention is placed on the influence of the above-mentioned types of equivalence on the message covered by the press releases. Moreover, the study is based on three languages English, German and Polish. As the research shows, the two types of equivalence may apply to various aspects of texts introducing a wide range of effects to the translation. Whereas formal equivalence is usually present in shorter forms, dynamic equivalence corresponds to larger units of text. Additionally, it has been proved that the two types of equivalence are not applied in both translations to an equal extent

This research is an annotated translation study. The author conducted an Indonesian- Chinese translation of two chapters of the biography named Tokoh Tionghoa & Identitas Indonesia: dari Tjoe Bou San sampai Yap Thiam Hien and gave annotations to important and necessary parts. The specific purposes of this research can be described as follows: (1) find the appropriate method to translate this source text; (2) find out proper translation techniques and provide reasons for choosing equivalence. In translating this biography, the author uses communicative translation (Newmark, 1988) and considers the dynamic equivalence theory of Nida and Taber (1982) as the main principle. Annotations are divided into six groups, namely: culturally charged words, phrases that are translated into Chinese idioms, proper nouns, metaphors, footnote, and sentences. To translate a text successfully, translators need not only a good mastery of languages but also broad knowledge

In order to reduce the dimension of wind farm model and improve the simulation efficiency under the premise of ensuring the accuracy, this article proposes a dynamic equivalent method for permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind farm cluster utilizing the adaptive extended Kalman filters. Combining the dynamic model of PMSG, the equivalent wind turbine parameters that need to be identified are incorporated into the extended state variables, and an online parameters identification method based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) theory is put forward. To eliminate the influence of random noise on the accuracy of identification, the adaptive technology is introduced into EKF to estimate the process and measurement noise covariance in real time through the Sage–Husa estimator. Thus, a wind farm cluster equivalent model is obtained. Finally, the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method are verified by time-domain simulation and frequency-domain simulation in IEEE 39-bus system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inculturation emerged as a result of paradigm shifts in the missionary outlook of the Church necessitated by a heightened sense of culture, especially the plurality of cultures. This outlook saw culture as a tool for the transmission of the Gospel message to different frontiers. In view of this, dialogue with culture has passed from being an exception to the rule to becoming normative. Inculturation is a complex process, which must be undertaken gradually and critically. Overall, it aims to incarnate the Gospel in every culture by maintaining a healthy balance between tradition and progress. In this paper, the method of inculturation that is highlighted is the one developed by Charles Kraft and Anscar Chupungco known as “dynamic equivalence,” which seeks to build a “communicational bridge” between the Gospel message and human experience. This paper, therefore, embarks upon the discussion of faith-culture dialogue, keeping in mind Church’s efforts to proclaim the message of the Gospel: first, by first tracing the historical development of Inculturation, highlighting the Church’s disposition towards faith culture dialogue; second, by discussing the nature and dynamics of inculturation, focusing on its essential characteristics; and lastly, delineating the process of inculturation, which underscores dynamic equivalence as method.

Résumé: La traduction de la littérature fait l' objet de nombreux débats depuis plusieurs décennies et, sur la base de ces débats, des approches ont été formulées en fonction des points de vue des précurseurs en ce qui concerne les défis de leur tâche. L' auteur d' une œuvre littéraire est influencé par son expérience de la vie, sa culture, son imagination, sa société, l' idéologie de son peuple, etc. Une œuvre littéraire, fortement imprégnée de nuances culturelles, est toujours en opposition avec la langue du récepteur. Les romans yorubas de Daniel Olorunfemi Fagunwa en sont un bon exemple. Pour amener le lecteur de la version française à réagir au message du texte original de manière identique ou pratiquement identique, Olaoye Abioye, le traducteur de ces romans, confère une valeur secondaire au style de Fagunwa. Par cette approche, l' équivalence dynamique, une idée avancée par le traducteur de la bible, Eugene Nida, est inconsciemment mise en jeu. La compréhension du lecteur récepteur lui est imposée dans le cadre de son contexte culturel pour éviter toute trahison ou contre-sens dans les versions françaises. Dans cet article, nous abordons la dichotomie entre l' imposition et la trahison en traduction, l' imposition et la trahison dans l' optique de l' équivalence dynamique et l' imposition ou la trahison dans la traduction française de deux romans de Fagunwa. Il conclut que l' imposition est une exigence en traduction littéraire. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To simplify the transient stability analysis of a large-scale power system and realize real-time emergency control, a fast transient stability simulation algorithm based on real-time dynamic equivalence is proposed. Generator models are grouped and aggregated according to a fast numerical integration. A fast calculation method of the admittance matrix is then proposed to calculate the parameters of an equivalent system, and numerical integration is performed using the obtained equivalent system. Then, based on integral sensitivity, a new fast emergency control strategy is proposed for the equivalent system. The final emergency control strategy is obtained by mapping the control strategy for the equivalent system back to the original system. The results of a simulation on an East China Power System that includes 496 generators and 5075 buses show that the suggested algorithm can output an accurate transient stability simulation result and form an effective emergency control strategy. The proposed algorithm is much faster than the existing solutions and has the potential to be used for online pre-decision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With more and more distributed renewable energy generations and diversified electric vehicle (EV) loads connected to active distribution networks (ADNs), the power interaction between the ADNs and backbone network becomes more complicated. Furthermore, it is difficult to exactly simulate the power flows in the ADN due to large amounts of branches without power measurement units. Consequently, this paper proposes an equivalent modeling for the ADN, consisting of a motor and a synthetic constant impedance (Z), constant current (I), constant power (P) load (ZIP) with an internal identification for EV loads. The equivalent modeling utilizes a multi-layer double deep Q network (MLDDQN) to track the dynamics of the original ADN using few power measurements in the boundary with high precision. In the MLDDQN, the types of the ZIP load and motor are selected from the load pool to obtain the dynamic equivalent modeling of the ADN in the first layer, and the weight of the model is determined to obtain the active power (P) and reactive power (Q) (P Q component) of motor and ZIP load in the second layer through the powerful feature extraction ability of deep learning and the optimization decision-making ability of reinforcement learning. Another layer is adopted to optimize the parameters of the equivalent EV to independently trace the characteristics of the original EV loads. The simulation results show that the proposed MLDDQN improves the sample selection and behavior value function evaluation in deep reinforcement learning through prior experience playback, huber loss function strategy and dueling network. Additionally, the precision and applicability of the equivalent modeling is tested with comparisons with traditional DDQN and DQN. • A Multi-layer double deep Q network (MLDDQN) equivalent modeling method is proposed. • The MLDDQN can accurately track the load characteristics of EVs. • The MLDDQN is employed to achieve the improvement of the optimal strategy. • The performance of the MLDDQN is superior to DDQN and DQN.

This paper studies linear conjugacy of PL-RDK systems, which are kinetic systems with power law rate functions whose kinetic orders are identical for branching reactions, i.e. reactions with the same reactant complex. Mass action kinetics (MAK) systems are the best known examples of such systems with reactant-determined kinetic orders (RDK). We specify their kinetics with their rate vector and T matrix. The T matrix is formed from the kinetic order matrix by replacing the reactions with their reactant complexes as row indices (thus compressing identical rows of branching reactions of a reactant complex to one) and taking the transpose of the resulting matrix. The T matrix is hence the kinetic analogue of the network's matrix of complexes Y with the latter's columns of non-reactant complexes truncated away. For MAK systems, the T matrix and the truncated Y matrix are identical. We show that, on non-branching networks, a necessary condition for linear conjugacy of MAK systems and, more generally, of PL-FSK (power law factor span surjective kinetics) systems, i.e. those whose T matrix columns are pairwise different, is $$T = T'$$ , i.e. equality of their T matrices. This motivated our inclusion of the condition $$T = T'$$ in exploring extension of results from MAK to PL-RDK systems. We extend the Johnston-Siegel Criterion for linear conjugacy from MAK to PL-RDK systems satisfying the additional assumption of $$T = T'$$ and adapt the MILP algorithms of Johnston et al. and Szederkenyi to search for linear conjugates of such systems. We conclude by illustrating the results with several examples and an outlook on further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept ofTaohas long been regarded as a conundrum for translators because of its complex connotations. Over the past century, many translations of theTao Te Ching, in which theTaooriginated and is elaborated, have appeared, with Waley’s version being one of the most authoritative. However, controversy and doubts about its translatability remain. This paper draws a comparison betweenTaoand ‘natural law’, which is a classic concept of Western thought, to explore a better way of translating the ‘untranslatable’, i.e. a traditional Chinese philosophical term. Based on a long-term study of theTao Te Chingin general, and Waley’s translation in particular, this article explores questions concerning ‘the untranslatability ofTao’, natural law regarded as the closest paradigm to theTaoin Western philosophy, and the translated connotations of law and morality. It draws on the concept of dynamic equivalence for the purpose of countering its untranslatability and approaching its translation. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Sufis took Islam to many parts of Asia and in some of those countries still continue to have a significant impact. Using Kraft’s model of dynamic equivalence this paper examines the Sufi spiritual forms of dhikr and sama ʾ. Taking his parameters of form, function and meaning, these forms have been researched in terms of their use in fostering the Christian spiritual growth of Muslim seekers/followers of Jesus Christ in one of those Asian contexts. The assessment seeks to discover the degree to which they are compatible or may create difficulties with similar Christian forms. Following a brief overview of Sufism, the dhikr is considered in terms of its form, function and meaning. Both the fikr, the complement of the dhikr and the sama' are examined briefly. Then, the main issues highlighted are examined from a Christian theological perspective. Following Hiebert, a brief consideration is also given in terms of Christian history and traditions. Finally, observations are made as to how compatible these forms are within the Christian context while also outlining some of the possible problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the increasing demand of electricity, the development of the urban power grid has drawn a lot of attention in China. In order to focus on the analysis of an urban power grid, the remaining part of the large-scale power grid used is to be reduced. The accuracy of the equivalence is key to urban power grid research. In this paper, a multistep dynamic equivalent method based on district dividing is proposed. Based on the electrical distance, voltage level, and geographic location, the external system is divided into outer layer, inner layer, and buffer subsystem. Each district is separately reduced by different methods. The proposed technique is illustrated by a real large-scale power grid in the south of China. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Looking for a lexical or grammatical equivalence is a mental process which occurs in different layers of the mind. For the novice translator, who has not gained much experience, looking for equivalences and translation occurs in the first mental layer. Influenced by the translation of old texts, the novice translator learns to write down the meaning of every word under it. He is afraid of carefully delving into the meaning of the words, and writing down the different equivalences that come into his mind.This article seeks to find some methods and approaches to translate a text fluently while maintaining accuracy. The goal of this paper is to wipe out the complexities and uncertainties that formerly overrode the translated texts so that the readers of the translation experience the same joy and entertainment that the readers of the original text experience. The overall objective of the suggested methods for finding equivalents is to decrease the dominance of the original text over the reader to the least possible degree.
