Dialogues on the theory and practice of literary translation
\"The book is a collection of the dialogues between Xu Jun, a well-known expert in French literary translation and eminent \"Changjiang\" scholar in translation studies in China, and some celebrated literary translators in contemporary China, some of whom are also literary scholars, linguists, poets, prosers, and editors. It's a fundamental achievement of research on the literary translation in the 20th century in China, involving multiple literary types, such as novels, poetry, dramas, prose, and fairy tales, and multiple languages, such as English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Sanskrit. The dialogues are centered around the fundamental issues in the theory and practice of literary translation, such as the re-creation in literary translation, the relationship between form and content in literary translation, the subjectivity of literary translators, the literary translation standards and principles, the gains and losses in literary translation, the principles and methods of literary criticism, and so on. Those translation experts' experience and multiple strategies not only play an active role in guiding literary translator in practice but also is beneficial to the theoretical development in literary translation. Therefore, the book will contribute to worldwide translation studies and get well recognized by translation studies students, teachers, and scholars in the world\"-- Provided by publisher.

Negative association of C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte index (CALLY index) with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in patients with cancer: results from NHANES 1999–2018
Background
The CALLY index, which is derived from C-reactive protein (CRP) content, serum albumin level, and total lymphocyte count, reflects the immune, nutritional, and inflammatory status of the body. Lack of sufficient evidence on the correlation between the CALLY index and the prognosis of cancer patients with various cancer forms. This study seeks to elucidate the association between the CALLY index and mortality from all causes as well as specific causes in cancer patients within a U.S. population.
Methods
This investigation encompassed 3511 cancer-afflicted adults from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) spanning 1999 to 2018. The CALLY index was measured at baseline only. The relationship between the CALLY index and mortality from both all causes and cancer specifically was examined using Cox proportional hazards models. Additionally, restricted cubic spline, piecewise linear regression, and various subgroup and sensitivity analyses were employed.
Results
Over a median follow-up of 103 months, 1,355 deaths occurred, and the incidence of all-cause mortality for these participants was 38.34%. Our findings indicate that an elevated CALLY index correlates with a diminished risk of all-cause mortality. Upon applying a natural logarithmic transformation to the CALLY index, the comprehensively adjusted model revealed that each one-unit increment in ln CALLY corresponded to a 18% decrease in all-cause mortality risk among cancer patients (HR = 0.82, 95% CI:0.79–0.86). Analyses of mortality due to cardiac and cancer-related causes yielded consistent results, which were robust across various subgroup and sensitivity analyses.
Conclusion
The CALLY index demonstrated a linear and negative association with all-cause mortality, as well as mortality caused by cancer and cardiac conditions, highlighting its significant prognostic value in patients with oncological conditions.

Furthermore, we also examine the heavy quark symmetry breaking effect in the hidden-charm and hidden-bottom systems by taking into account the mass splittings in the propagators of the intermediate states. As expected, the heavy quark symmetry in the bottom cases is better than that in the charmed sectors. We notice that the heavy quark symmetry in the

How to understand the X(2900)?
In this work, the S- and P-wave D¯∗K∗ interactions are studied in a coupled-channel formalism to understand the recently observed X0(2900) and X1(2900) at LHCb. The experimental event distributions can be well described, and two states with I(JP)=0(0+) and 0(1-) are yielded in a unified framework. The masses of the 0+ and 1- states are consistent with the experimental data, but the width of the 0+ state is larger than that of the 1- one. The X1(2900) can be interpreted as the P-wave excitation of the ground-state X0(2900) in the hadronic molecular picture. The S- and P-wave multiplets in the D¯∗K∗ system have many members, so the present peak in the D-K+ invariant mass distributions might contain multi substructures.

Systematics of the heavy flavor hadronic molecules
With a quark level interaction, we give a unified description of the loosely bound molecular systems composed of the heavy flavor hadrons (D¯,D¯∗), (Λc,Σc,Σc∗), and (Ξc,Ξc′,Ξc∗). Using the Pc states as inputs to fix the interaction strength of light quark-quark pairs, we reproduce the observed Pcs and Tcc+ states and predict another narrow Tcc′+ state with quantum numbers [D∗D∗]J=1I=0. If we require a satisfactory description of the Tcc+ and Pc states simultaneously, our framework prefers the assignments of the Pc(4440) and Pc(4457) as the [ΣcD¯∗]J=1/2I=1/2 and [ΣcD¯∗]J=3/2I=1/2 states, respectively. We propose the isospin criterion to explain naturally why the experimentally observed Tcc, Pc, and Pcs molecular candidates prefer the lowest isospin numbers. We also predict the loosely bound states for the bottom di-hadrons.

Local large temperature difference and ultra-wideband photothermoelectric response of the silver nanostructure film/carbon nanotube film heterostructure
Photothermoelectric materials have important applications in many fields. Here, we joined a silver nanostructure film and a carbon nanotube film by van der Waals force to form a heterojunction, which shows excellent photothermal and photoelectric conversion properties. The local temperature difference and the output photovoltage increase rapidly when the heterojunction is irradiated by lasers with wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to terahertz. The maximum temperature difference reaches 215.9 K, which is significantly higher than that of other photothermoelectric materials reported in the literature. The photothermal and photoelectric responsivity depend on the wavelength of lasers, which are 175~601 K W
-1
and 9.35~40.4 mV W
-1
, respectively. We demonstrate that light absorption of the carbon nanotube is enhanced by local surface plasmons, and the output photovoltage is dominated by Seebeck effect. The proposed heterostructure can be used as high-efficiency sensitive photothermal materials or as ultra-wideband fast-response photoelectric materials.
Finding efficient photothermoelectric materials remains critical to the development of clean and renewable energy conversion technologies. Here, authors prepare a silver nanostructure film/carbon nanotube film heterojunction with excellent photothermal and photoelectric conversion performance.

Right Here and Right Now: A Study on the Creative Practice of Site-Specific Improvisatory Dance Performance in Lhasa
This study focuses on the site-specific improvisatory dance performance Deconstruction and Reconstruction of the Path of Life, a self-directed and self-performed work in Lhasa’ s sacred space dominated by a huge Buddha statue. It aims to explore how site-specific context and altitude sickness shape performance, and how freedom and meaning are created within limitations. Using auto-ethnography including video documentation, creative journals and reflective observation, this research examines interactions with spatial elements (Xuan paper, Buddha feet, stairs, flowers) and physiological responses to low oxygen. Main findings include that altitude-induced breath difficulty, chest oppression, and movement imbalance became generative forces: breathing rhythm changes (steady-rapid-steady) symbolized life’s struggles, while a “pain-movement-meaning” chain fostered new bodily senses, framing pain as a gateway to spirituality. Rather than treating the space as a static backdrop, this study explores how the material and cultural characteristics of the location actively lead to dance movement choices and choreographic logic under extreme physiological condition.

Constructing Direct Z‐Scheme Heterostructure by Enwrapping ZnIn2S4 on CdS Hollow Cube for Efficient Photocatalytic H2 Generation
Rational design hybrid nanostructure photocatalysts with efficient charge separation and transfer, and good solar light harvesting ability have critical significance for achieving high solar‐to‐chemical conversion efficiency. Here a highly active and stable composite photocatalyst is reported by integrating ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets on surface of hollow CdS cube to form the cube‐in‐cube structure. Experimental results combined with density functional theory calculations confirm that the Z‐scheme ZnIn2S4/CdS heterojunction is formed, which highly boosts the charge separation and transfer under the local‐electric‐field at semiconductor/semiconductor interface, and thus prolongs their lifetimes. Moreover, such a structure affords the highly enhanced light‐harvesting property. The optimized ZnIn2S4/CdS nanohybrids exhibit superior H2 generation rate under visible‐light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) with excellent photochemical stability during 20 h continuous operation. The stable composite photocatalyst integrated by ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets on surface of hollow CdS exhibits outstanding visible‐light‐driven photocatalytic H2 generation activity, due to that: i) the Z‐scheme charge transfer route facilitates charge separation, prolongs carrier lifetimes, and remains strong electron reduction capacity; ii) the unique cube‐in‐cube structure brings abundant active sites, improves light harvesting ability, shortens charge transfer distance.
