Abstract
Translation Studies seems to have succeeded to establish itself as an area of enquiry for scholars. Patterns of flourishing this discipline with its diverse audience is not well studied, though. The present study used scientometric and bibliometric analyses to identify and assess topics and trends of Translation Studies over time, as evidence of evolution over the course of time. Documents (from 1931 to 2021) were extracted from Scopus to examine relevant indicators; document types, top journals, authors’ networks, institutes/universities, organizational support, countries and interdisciplinary contributions. In addition, VOSviewer, network and cluster density visualization and word co-occurrences were utilized to analyze and evaluate the development of the field. Trend analysis was considered at three intervals. The analyses showed that over a 90-year time span (1931-2021), 13916 documents were published by 21509 authors from 16323 institutes/universities that contributed to the scientific mobility of Translation Studies. Authors’ cooperation from 124 countries emerged in four clusters led by the US, the UK, Spain and China. In its course of development, Translation Studies witnessed a remarkable proliferation of documents since the 2000s onward. Relevant topics were shown by keywords analysis, and interrelationships of Translation Studies with other disciplines were explored. The findings offer analyses of trends and topics in Translation Studies, as evidence of scientific evolution, attested by the interdisciplinary contributions and bibliometric findings.

Abstract
The subject of this article is the relationship between the soul and the body and its problem is the conflict between the philosophical doctrine of "the physical occurrence of the soul (Nafs)" and the Quranic doctrine of "blowing the spirit (Rooḥ) in the body". Solving this conflict is our goal and its method is first to describe both doctrines in their context and then to analyze the conflict and resolve it based on the principles of transcendent wisdom. Blowing the spirit in the body means degrading and connecting the spirit to the body to plan and control it. The physical occurrence of a partial soul for a body means the occurrence of a rational and general tactical attention of the soul to this imaginal or corporeal body. It seems that the spirit is the intellectual level of the soul and the blowing of the spirit is the physical occurrence of the soul. Therefore, the spirit or the rational soul is not a creature with an occurrence, but something with its occurrence as belonging to a body. Blowing the spirit into the body or the physical occurrence of the soul means its control relationship with the body, not it means being at the level of the corporeal body.

Abstract
According to Some Ṣadrian researchers, Suhrawardī confuses philosophical secondary intelligibles with logical ones and rejects the idea that philosophical concepts are attributes of external objects. The main supporting evidence for this claim could be divided into two categories; A) Suhrawardī’s assertions that philosophical attributes are mental, and B) his assertions that the mind ascribes philosophical attributes to external beings. But first, the evidence is not sufficient to prove their claim, and second, there is clear evidence against it. Ṣadrā himself accuses Surawardī of confusing the two types of intelligibles in another way. He reads one of Surawardī’s statements as claiming that logical attributes like “particularity” are attributes of objective beings. This objection is also unfounded since Suhrawardī employs “particularity” in a different sense referring to a philosophical concept in that context. Therefore, Suhrawardī does not confuse the two types of secondary intelligibles, in either of the two mentioned senses.

The Vidarbha region of India harbours a significant amount of biodiversity. However, the region still severely lacks data on lesser-known taxa such as odonates (dragonflies and damselflies). To partially fill in the knowledge gap on odonates, opportunistic surveys were conducted across nine sites in the Gondia district of Vidarbha between 2019 and 2021. In this report, the presence of 35 species from the study area, representing around 1/4th of the total odonate diversity of Maharashtra is recorded. The results are indicative of the need for consistent sampling efforts in the region. Further systematic and long-term monitoring studies on odonates in Vidarbha Region are proposed.

Abstract
Mosquitoes (Culicidae) are hematophagous insects that play a major role as vectors of diverse pathogens affecting human health. Understanding their distribution and diversity is essential for assessing pathogen risks and developing control strategies. This study investigated the Culicid fauna in the semi-humid region of northeastern Algeria (Annaba-El Tarf) over a period from October 2019 to July 2022. An entomological survey was conducted in natural and artificial larval habitats across rural and urban areas to account for factors influencing mosquito breeding capacity and distribution. Immature mosquitoes were collected and identified to assess species richness and abundance. A total of 5587 immature mosquitoes were collected from 111 positive larval habitats, representing four genera and nine species: Culex pipiens, Cx. theileri, Cx. hortensis, Culiseta longiareolata, Cs. annulata, Aedes caspius, Ae. geniculatus, Ae. albopictus, and Anopheles labranchiae. The genus Culex was the most prevalent, with Culex pipiens accounting for 63.25% of the total, followed by Culiseta longiareolata (23.41%). Species richness was lower in urban areas compared to rural areas, and natural larval habitats harboured more species than artificial ones. This study provides essential data on the distribution, abundance, and diversity of mosquito species in northeastern Algeria, contributing to understanding mosquito population dynamics and enabling better vector control and monitoring strategies, particularly in light of evolving human activities and climate change.

Abstract
In this research, the objective is using 4 quadrotors in a group to carry out a certain weighted load. The load is connected by cables to each quadrotor. The equations of motion of the quadrotors are considered completely and without simplification. Unlike other researches, to express the relationship between the load and the quadrotors, the ropes are considered as springs, so they are pulled out and retracted during the mission. Formation control design and path tracking by the group is done by using feedback linearization control. Control protocol design is presented in two structure, centralized, and decentralized. Unlike other papers, in decentralized structure, there is no information communication between the agents to reduce the communication costs. The mission of the group is defined as the quadrotors first pick off the load from the ground and, then, track the desired path to reach the target point. When the load reaches the target point, the quadrotors should put the load on the ground and, then, land themselves. Cutting the cable of one of the quadrotors is applied to the system as a fault and in addition to providing a method to detect its occurrence, the performance of the centralized controller is checked in this situation.
