The paper presents descriptions of bridge disintegration types and contact mass loss in the bridge stage. There is presented Matlab solvers to solve equation describing dynamic changes of temperature in the bridge region. The final result of program calculations is the mass loss and the volume of the metal of contacts which was lost during the bridge stage.

Adapting a literary text for a TV series within the same culture involves a plethora of interpretive, semiotic, and hermeneutic relationships. Therefore, adapting and (re)translating a TV series for a foreign audience and culture is even more challenging. The code-switching and code-mixing used in Gomorra- The Series represent a great challenge for the translator. Thus, the aim of the paper is to focus on the subtitling strategies used to translate culture-bound language in the English version of Gomorra-The Series, an extremely successful Italian TV series.
