Abstract: Based on the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese (BCCWJ), this paper conducts an in-depth cognitive linguistic analysis of the Japanese lexeme "浅ましい" and its multiple meanings. Utilizing cognitive techniques such as metaphor and metonymy, the study classifies the semantic relationships of "浅ましい" in modern Japanese and reveals its affective tendencies across different contexts. Findings indicate that "浅ましい" predominantly conveys negative emotions, covering a range of meanings from the condemnation of desires and negative evaluations of appearance to the description of humility, sadness, and shame, and it is primarily used in written expression. In contrast, although this term is listed as a synonym of kawaisō (可哀想) in Weblio's Synonym Dictionary (2024), "浅ましい" carries a stronger connotation of pejoration and criticism, reflecting a richer spectrum of emotional nuances.

Keywords: 浅ましい, Metaphor, Metonymy.

Abstract: In this paper, based on Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional integral and a new multiplication of fractional analytic functions, we study four types of matrix fractional integrals. Using some methods, we can evaluate these four types of matrix fractional integrals. Moreover, our results are generalizations of classical calculus results.    

Keywords: Jumarie’s modified R-L fractional integral, new multiplication, fractional analytic functions, matrix fractional integrals.

Abstract: Holistic tourism is currently flourishing across China. Given the insufficiency or inaccuracies in the translation of Chinese tourism slogans in certain domestic areas, this study applies the three-dimensional principles of eco-translatology—focusing on linguistic, cultural, and communicative aspects. Starting with insights derived from English tourism slogans in select U.S. states, this study explores the translation of holistic tourism slogans in Chinese, using representative slogans from Zhaoqing as case studies. The goal is to enhance the international promotion of tourism slogans for cities, assisting tourism destinations in reaching a global audience.

Keywords: Holistic tourism; Slogans; Eco-translatology; Three-dimensional principles.

Abstract: When defending class and national interests through "soft" strategies to resist ideological infiltration by other countries, the term egemonia in Gramsci's discourse is understood as "ideological hegemony." Conversely, when "soft" strategies are used to spread ideology abroad and defend a superpower's global "leadership" and "dominance," egemonia is perceived as "ideological supremacy." Popular culture, science and technology, and modernization form the three dimensions of ideological hegemony, serving as crucial arenas for both the domestic ruling class to defend ideological hegemony and for international superpowers to maintain ideological supremacy. Drawing on these three dimensions, in the global information age, universities must enhance the ideological leadership of educational institutions by highlighting the "two cores," modern information technology, and modernization efforts in higher education to ensure effective leadership in ideological work, with a focus on three essential points.

Keywords: Ideological hegemony; universities; three essential points.
