Subtitling Across Borders: Inference, Relevance, and Audience Access in Global Nature Documentary Translation

This study evaluates the English-to-Indonesian subtitling of Netflix's *Our Planet: Migrations* using the Audience-Centred Subtitling Adequacy (ACSA) framework, finding that while overall quality is high, adequacy losses primarily occur in the pragmatic alignment of stance and ecological register, thereby supporting a relevance-theoretic view of subtitling as constrained pragmatic inference.

Preparing Pre-service Teachers to Teach with Physical Learning Environments: A Systematic Review

This systematic review of 32 studies reveals that while initial teacher education increasingly exposes pre-service teachers to innovative physical learning environments, it currently lacks robust, validated measures for assessing their spatial professional knowledge and often fails to move beyond simple exposure to include deliberate design, adaptation, and longitudinal performance-based evaluation.

The Linguistic Gap in AI-Generated Differentiated Content: An Exploratory Comparative Analysis of Novice and Experienced Teachers' Adaptation Strategies

This mixed-methods study reveals that experienced Iranian EFL teachers create more consistent and nuanced linguistic adaptations of AI-generated content for diverse learners compared to novices, whose larger adaptation gaps suggest that current AI tools may amplify rather than bridge existing pedagogical competence disparities.

Supervisors’ perceived organizational support, span of control, and employees’ perceived supervisor support: A multilevel study using supervisor–employee linked data

Using multilevel analysis of linked supervisor–employee data from a Japanese manufacturing company, this study demonstrates that supervisors' perceived organizational support positively predicts employees' perceived supervisor support, a relationship that remains consistent regardless of the supervisors' span of control.

Compassionate Feedback in AI-Assisted Assessment: A Comparative Analysis of Novice and Experienced Teachers' Feedback Patterns within the Integrated AI Triad (IAT) Framework

This study compares novice and experienced teachers' use of the Integrated AI Triad (IAT) framework to generate compassionate feedback, revealing that while experienced educators provide more specific and cognitively scaffolded responses, teacher experience alone does not guarantee quality, and condensed three-session professional development workshops can effectively optimize feedback outcomes while reducing costs.

Computational Criticism of Classical-Chinese Residues in Lu Xun (1903–1936): A Six-Function Taxonomy, Sublanguage Detection, and the Register × Stratum Two-Dimensional Model

This study employs computational criticism on Lu Xun's complete corpus to propose a six-function taxonomy and a register-stratum model, revealing that while surface classical usage declined in public writings, a stable "sublanguage" of classical thought persisted across all registers, thereby challenging the notion of a uniform linguistic retreat and supporting a selective "public-to-private" shift in the May Fourth language reform.
