The study also analyses the employed translation procedures in the transfer of those humorous expressions, and consequently identifies the most effective translation procedures utilized to transfer the source message. The study aims to identify which technique (dubbing or subtitling) transfers the humorous expressions in the comedy animations more adequately. The study was carried out by identifying the humorous linguistic, cultural and ECRs-based expression in the source texts. Next, they are classified into eight groups based on the selected classification of humour by Nedergaard Larsen (1993). Finally, a comparison was made to identify the equivalence of the humorous linguistic, cultural and E...

The load-bearing capacity of a 24.5 × 7.5 × 1.5 cm strip foundation on a 90 × 25 × 30 cm sandbox reinforced with three different types of geotextiles in seven different forms of three-dimensional arrangement was studied. Geotextile arrangements consisted of one, two, and three layers of continuous strips with 1 cm vertical spacing, two and three strips of 5 cm wide reinforcements in 5 cm horizontal intervals beneath each other in the vertical plane, and 5 cm shifted in the horizontal plane. The results indicate that the improvement of the bearing capacity of the foundation on reinforced soil per unit width of the reinforcements is the maximum for one-layer continuous reinforcement. The bearing capability of the footing per unit width of the reinforcements decreases by increasing the number of reinforcements layers. For multi-layer reinforced models, using reinforcement strips in interval arrangements increases the effectiveness of the geotextile on the improvement of the bearing capacity of the footing. Using a proper threedimensional arrangement of reinforcement strips results in a similar ultimate bearing capacity with approximately 50% less reinforcement when compared to continuous multi-layer reinforcement arrangement.
