The Impact of Physical, Financial, and Psychological Factors on Elderly Life Satisfaction
Authors: Lee Haerang , Kim Jihye , Rha Jong-Youn
Published: May 2024

This study aims to enhance the life satisfaction of the elderly population in South Korea by exploring their satisfaction levels and identifying influencing factors. Utilizing data from the 17th Korean Welfare Panel, which includes 6,260 individuals aged 65 and older, this study employs independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that, in general, the life satisfaction of the elderly population was somewhat lower than that of the general adult population in all areas, except for job satisfaction and satisfaction with housing. Key factors influencing life satisfaction among the elderly population include demographic characteristics (gender, age, economic activity, residence, education level), subjective health status factors, financial factors (disposable income, monthly living expenses), and psychological factors (depression, self-esteem). Notably, psychological factors, particularly self-esteem and depression, profoundly affect all life satisfaction domains. Enhancing life satisfaction necessitates fostering positive self-perception and capabilities in the elderly population, suggesting the need for programs focused on positive emotional experiences. Moreover, depression significantly reduces life satisfaction, underscoring the importance of policy interventions to address negative emotions in this demographic. This study is expected to provide basic data for establishing concrete and effective policies for improving the quality of life for the elderly population. Additionally, by highlighting the importance of positive psychological factors, it is anticipated that the study will offer a new direction for improving the life satisfaction of the elderly population.
Development and Validation of a Global Citizenship Education Teaching-Learning Plan and its Effects on Fostering the Global Citizenship Competencies of Elementary School Students
Authors: Kwon Boeun , Yu Nan Sook
Published: May 2024

The objectives of this study were to develop, implement a home economics education teaching-learning plan and assess its effects to enhance global citizenship competencies among upper elementary school students. The ADDIE model was employed for learner needs analysis, instructional design, development and implementation. This was followed by assessments of global citizenship competencies and class satisfaction. Based on an analysis of the core ideas associated with an area of "Living Environment and Sustainable Choice," four practical problems were designed: What actions should I take for the rational management of living resources? What actions should I take to ensure consciousness of the need to respect diversity in daily life? What actions should I take to maintain a safe and healthy living environment? What actions should I take to make sustainable choices? Based on these four practical problems, four lesson topics were developed in accordance with both the voyeur's and the critical perspectives, resulting in a total of 8 sessions. The subsequent delivery of an 8-session class on global citizenship education in home economics yielded significant improvements in the global citizenship competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes, and willingness to act) of 37 elementary school students immediately after the sessions. The significance of this study lies in its focus on the core ideas of the revised 2022 curriculum, thereby offering directions for the development of global citizenship education within the curriculum.

In this paper, we investigate the contexts, frequency, and actors of paraprofessional translatorial action in Finland through three pilot studies. The results of our two surveys and one job advertisement analysis indicate that paraprofessional translation is common across sectors and fields and performed under a wide variety of job titles. While translation rarely features explicitly in job advertisements for non-translator positions, we were able to uncover examples of, for example, communications, marketing, and secretarial roles in which translation was a named task. However, when we surveyed professionals of diverse fields, we discovered that translatorial action was in fact extremely common in expert professions and ranged from simple exchanges to demanding tasks such as the translation of highly specialised texts into an L2. Journalists are a common and increasingly researched example of an expert group that produces great amounts of texts through a translatorial process. While research has sometimes pointed to a lack of awareness and identification of translation among journalists, the pilot group in our study was predominantly aware of its significance. Furthermore, in an analysis of the languages involved, we found support for the key role of the English language in the Finnish working life.
Koronavirustaudin kehysmalli kriisiviestinnässä
Authors: Pasanen Päivi
Published: May 2024

During the surge of the coronavirus disease COVID-19, the need to disseminate accurate information and bridge the communicative gap between professionals and laypeople was urgent. During a pandemic, the role of mass media as well as translators and interpreters is essential in the distribution of information to all citizens. To facilitate the work of translators and interpreters, the Terminology Coordination Unit of the European Parliament has published the COVID-19 event frame (Termcoord 2020), which is based on Frame-based Terminology (see e.g. Faber 2015). In this paper, I report the results of the study on the creation of a parallel COVID-19 event frame based on a Finnish online corpus of news (Yle) and a Finnish ad hoc corpus of newspaper articles (HS). The study employed the methods of Frame-based Terminology. It is our aim that the frame could be useful in crisis communication for different stakeholders, including translators and interpreters.
Alaviitteet Cthulhun kunniaksi!

Translators are often most visible when they deviate from the norms and expectations of the receiving culture. In this article, I examine how the most recent Finnish translations of H. P. Lovecraft make the translator visible both on a textual and paratextual level, especially via translator’s notes and prefaces, by challenging the expectations and norms of contemporary Finnish literary translations. This article uses the most recent Finnish Lovecraft translations from 2021 and 2022 as a case study of the translator’s visibility. The translation deviates from common expectations of Finnish literary translations and may be seen as more in line with practices and norms of fan translation.

Published: May 2024

The present article is based on the workshop “Translators’ Materials in the Archives” held at the XVIII KäTu Symposium on Translation and Interpreting Studies, University of Helsinki, 21 May 2021. The article focuses on the types of material related to translation available in the archival collection of literature and cultural history of the Finnish Literature Society (SKS), and the diverse existing search aids. The aim of the article is to lower the threshold for researchers and translators to make use of archives and thus gain new perspectives on their own work. The article introduces archival material related to translation at a general level. Moreover, it examines what archive catalogues can tell researchers interested in translation and discusses the special features of archival material as research sources. The many-sided archives of two poets and translators, Otto Manninen (1872–1950) and Juhani Siljo (1888–1918), are used in the article as illustrative examples.
Multimodality in Subtitling
Authors: Ahonen Tuuli
Published: May 2024

This article discusses the concept of multimodality of audiovisual texts in relation to results from an online questionnaire targeted to professional Finnish subtitlers. Audiovisual texts, such as movies, are multimodal; they use both visual and auditory channels to convey meaning. The aim of this study is to examine the experiences and opinions of Finnish subtitlers regarding audiovisual texts’ multimodality and how they use the pictures and sounds in the subtitling processes. Research data was collected with an online questionnaire that was answered by 42 subtitlers. The results indicate that, even though professional Finnish subtitlers are a heterogenous group with varying experiences and opinions, they recognize the importance of audiovisual texts’ multiple modes in the translation process. Multimodality is an asset to subtitlers; they can use the different modes, for instance, to make condensations and reductions in the subtitling process. Based on the results, I suggest that subtitling and subtitles should be characterized foremost by their multimodal nature as they create meaning through various modes in interaction with each other. It is this intertwined web of meaning-making in which subtitlers operate to convey messages of audiovisual texts to other cultures and languages.
Two approaches to quality in institutional settings
Authors: Riondel Aurélien
Published: May 2024

This paper addresses translation quality assurance and revision policies in two institutional contexts: an intergovernmental organisation (Institution A) and the Swiss Confederation (Institution B). It is based on 20 semi-structured interviews with heads of department, translators and revisers. The analysis is organised in two parts. First, the main aspects of the quality assurance models in place are described and categorised based on the models defined by Joanna Drugan (2013). Second, extending Gabriel González Núñez’s (2016) translation policy concept to revision, the paper describes and compares the revision policies of the two translation departments and highlights some advantages and disadvantages of each as put forward by participants. The analysis shows that the organisation of work and the approach to revision is very different in the two institutions. The comparison brings to light significant differences in practice but also notes several beliefs regarding revision shared by both teams. Other findings are that the hierarchical structure in place in Institution A can be burdensome and that discussions organised in Institution B are appreciated overall.

This article discusses the role of translation in multilingual research context. The aim is to create an overview of the different situations in which translation from one language to another takes place in a research process. The data analysed in the study has been collected in two courses organized for PhD students in the Doctoral Programme in Social and Cultural Encounters at the University of Eastern Finland. The courses concentrated on research translation, and the material collected for the present study contains the students’ preliminary assignments, final reflections and feedback forms from the courses. The analysis shows that translation as such is a multifaceted phenomenon that takes various forms and penetrates the whole research process. Before taking the course, the participants of the study had mainly been unaware of the large role that translation plays in their research, but during the course they became familiar with some of the translational issues as well as learned possible solutions to some of the problems that translation poses in their research.
Aleksis Kiven Seitsemän veljestä käännösromaanina
Authors: Katajamäki Sakari
Published: May 2024

Aleksis Kivi’s (1834–1872) oeuvre gives inexhaustible sources for a scholar who is interested in translation history and linguacultural relations during the past 150 years. The first translation of his literary work was Gustaf Rancken’s Swedish translation of an extract from Kullervo (1864) right after its publication. Today, more than one and a half centuries later, new translations of Kivi still appear. This study focuses on his novel Seitsemän veljestä (Seven Brothers, 1870), which is one of the most translated Finnish books. The first translations appeared at the beginning of the 20th century (Swedish in 1919, German in 1921, Estonian in 1924, French and Latvian in 1926, and English in 1929), and it has now been translated into almost forty languages. Retranslations have also been made into several languages. This article focuses on the publishing history of Kivi translations and is based on the earlier enumerative bibliographical research. It also analyses studies how the translations and retranslations of Seitsemän veljestä are related to each other and to the translation history of his other works and gives an overview of the novel’s translation history from 1919 to 2017.

Translation studies and textual scholarship have much common ground. In this paper, we set to explore how three of their central concepts, translation, transmission and text, can be approached from a multidisciplinary point of view. Combining these three central terms, we call this approach trextual. This paper is based on the workshop on trextuality held at the KäTu Symposium in Tampere in 2019. In the workshop, the discussion built upon an introduction, which examined the foundations of trextuality, and four papers, which addressed genetic translation criticism, retranslation, polyphony and translation of intertextuality, as well as multi-modality of audiovisual translation, respectively. The workshop revealed that the juxtaposing of two text-oriented disciplines, translation studies and textual studies, and comparing their similarities and differences reveals unexplored areas and weaknesses in their axiomatic fundaments. In particular, the papers presented in the workshop invited to reconsider transmission, definitions of text, and source text-target text pairs in different contexts. The workshop provided a starting point for further trextual studies exploring such cross-disciplinary questions.

Published: May 2024

German is a pluricentric language. This article aims to describe how this affects the translators’ work. Firstly, the concept of pluricentrism is presented as it is described in the work of sociolinguists such as Ammon, Muhr, Clyne and De Cillia. Then a very concise overview of some typical differences and their background is given, as well as the effect of the EU membership on Austrian German. Special attention is paid to gender-neutral language: the use of gender-neutral language has a longer history in Austria and affects, thus, the translation practise. After that, we take a closer look at the juridical language and some main differences between German German and Austrian German. The great lexical variety is a natural consequence of the two states having different institutions, such as the prevalence of words of Latin origin and the tendency to formulate juridical texts in a more explicit way.

This article reports on the eleventh Autumn Seminar of the Section for Teachers and Researchers of the Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters, held at the University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu, in August 2019. The topic of discussion at the seminar was the present and future marketing of translator training. Due to the recent shift of translator education to master level studies, marketing must be targeted not only at secondary school graduates, but also at BA students. At the seminar, representatives of Finnish universities offering translator training introduced their current marketing practices, after which invited speakers presented marketing campaigns carried out in the fields of teacher training and applied physics. This was followed by group discussions on the challenges of and future ideas for marketing translator training. This article sheds light on the current marketing practices and, more importantly, summarises the outcome of group discussions on new ideas for further development.

This paper reflects on semi-professional translating and interpreting as a hobby. It is based on an autobiographical case study of translating and interpreting from Germanic languages into Finnish for the national and regional Icelandic horse riding associations. The translatorial actions are discussed within the framework of the Functionalist Translation Theory. The relation between the source text and the target text, the central role of the analysis of the function of the target text, the target text as a product of the translation process, and the role of the cultural and socio-cultural contexts in the translation process are discussed through examples. The interpreting of riding lessons is especially demanding, since it is a holistic and complex action situation which requires both interpretation and riding expertise from the interpreter. It is suggested that this kind of a special setting is worth further research.

It prescribes the right remedy, giving strategies for integrating the educational metaverse into the classroom from the four directions of reducing the burden of college entrance examinations, technology research, teacher ability development, and rule formulation. It is hoped that in the future, while the metaverse lands in the educational field, it can overcome challenges at various levels and achieve breakthroughs at the target level, technical level, teacher training level, and ethical level to truly realize the entry of the educational metaverse into the classroom.
A Study on the Impact of A spherical videobased virtual reality on Teaching English Writing Guided by Experiential Learning Circle Theory
Authors: Luo Xia , Zhang Tiantian , Wang Youmei , Liu Chenchen
Published: May 2024

English as an international language, English writing is a very important skill as an important form of language output, which is not only an important means of expressing emotions and awareness, but also reflects the ability to use language in an integrated way. In language teaching, the development of English writing skills is an important and challenging teaching task. English writing language is expressed not only at the basic level of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure, but also at the higher-order level of text organization, logical reasoning, and argumentation. However, in traditional English writing teaching, students usually do not have the opportunity to have an in-depth experience of the context of the topic, which leads to a lack of motivation and poor writing results. Therefore, this study developed an SVVR learning system based on spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) technology and conducted a quasi-experiment in a university English major classroom. The results of the study showed that the SVVR-supported approach to English writing could improve students' writing performance, enrich writing content, and increase learning motivation.

Published: May 2024

High-energy piping systems of power plants, such as Main Steam (MS) pipes or Hot Reheat (HR) pipes, operate at high temperatures and high pressure at base and cyclic loads. In the event of transient conditions, a pipe can be deflected dramatically and cause high stress in the pipe, leading to the failure of the piping system. Pipe hangers/supports are vital in maintaining the forces and stresses of the piping system within the allowable limits by allowing sufficient pipe movement from cold to hot conditions and protecting the piping system from operation transient loads such as steam hammer and water hammer events. Thus, the pipe hangers and supports shall be inspected regularly to ensure their functionality. This paper presents examples of common issues found in degenerated pipe hangers/supports in power plants. The pipe support site inspection generally found deviations in pipe travel, which were not as expected by design. Design reviews have shown that the design travel of pipe support can differ from those found on pipe support nameplates, and the deviation can be as much as 74%. The actual load of pipe support can deviate as much as 18% from the design load and requires rectification as undesirable high stresses can be developed over time if it is left unattended. Pipe hanger/support inspection data can be used in further assessment, such as piping structural analysis. Deteriorated or degenerated pipe supports shall be identified, prioritised for further assessment, and monitored regularly as part of a strategy and initiative to ensure total plant safety management, with the aim to minimise the risk of premature and catastrophic failures.Keywords: degenerated, inspection, pipe hanger/support, piping systems, power plant, walk-down

Authors: Michael Abang OTU
Published: May 2024

Many factors are attributable to the academic achievements of students among which Teachers’ variable is a major attribute. The limitations of the teacher as a supporting agent in the area of Basic Science hinder academic achievement of students in learning of Basic Sciences. The quality of instructions from the teacher at all levels of education determines the acquisition of competencies necessary for self-reliance and effective service delivery. The teacher’s attitude to work, knowledge of subject matter and instructional competence have a relationship with students’ academic achievements. The poor quality of students’ academic quality among community health students’ in Basic Sciences in CrossRiver State may be as a result of these variables. This study therefore examined Teachers’ variable and academic achievement of community health students’ in Basic Sciences in Cross River State. To achieve the purpose of this study, four (4) specific objectives were raised to guide the study, which were then converted to four (4) research questions and transformed to research hypotheses. Related literatures we reviewed in line with the variables of the study. The study adopted correlational research design, which is a non-experimental approach between a set of variables and naturally cannot be manipulated. The research area is Cross River State, Nigeria. The target population of study was year 1 Community Health students. Sample of study was415 students randomly selected from ten schools for the 2023/2024 academic session. The instrument employed was questionnaire designed by the researcher. Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to determine the reliability estimate of the instrument which range from 0.73 to 0.81. Data was analysed using Multiple Linear regression. The findings of the study revealed that all teachers’ variables had significant positive relationship with students’ academic performance in Basic Sciences in Cross River State. It was recommended among others that teachers should adopt positive attitude towards their teaching profession especially in secondary schools.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the English language teaching and learning process at the A2 level among students at Tan Trao University, with the primary goal of enhancing students' language proficiency to meet the objectives of the National Foreign Language Project 2020. Utilizing two survey instruments—one for students and one for instructors—the research offers an insightful and in-depth examination of both sides of the teaching and learning process. The survey results indicate that students highly appreciate the curriculum used in their English language learning journey at the university, while also holding positive perceptions of their instructors' teaching abilities. The enthusiastic, dynamic teaching approach and integration of information technology demonstrated by the instructors underscore the university's commitment to improving the quality of English language instruction. However, despite the effective efforts of instructors, a majority of students continue to approach English learning passively. There is a need for students to cultivate a more proactive approach to self-study and research. This highlights the necessity for new strategies and interventions to stimulate students' self-directed learning and development in English language acquisition. It is imperative to consider and implement measures such as active teaching methodologies and creating conducive environments for self-directed learning, alongside promoting student engagement and autonomy in the learning process. These efforts will significantly contribute to enhancing the quality of English language education at Tan Trao University.

Authors: Reyes Margarita , Vega Melita
Published: May 2024

Given the relation between language and culture, the incorporation of local culture topics in the EFL classroom can serve as a means of fostering greater comfort among students when speaking in public. Therefore, the present study aimed to provide a closer look at EFL learners’ speaking performance by introducing local culture topics to speaking assignments in class. This paper reports the findings of a mixed methods study on the effect of local culture topics on speaking skills and motivation of a group of students at a high school in Cuenca, Ecuador. Quantitative data was collected through a pre-test and post-test based on the Attitude Motivation Test Battery (Gardner, 1985). Qualitative data was gathered through speaking rubrics, class observations, student questionnaires and teacher interviews to gauge students’ level of comfort during speaking activities and their perceptions on the incorporation of local culture as a focal point. While the quantitative results showed no statistical differences between the students’ pre and post motivation scores, classroom observations showed increases in their oral production and appreciation for local culture topics. Further research with a longer period of intervention time is recommended.
Mecánica de cierre de espacios mediante el uso de TAD en ortodoncia
Authors: Sánchez-Chiriboga María Isabel , Zapata-Hidalgo Christian David
Published: May 2024

The incorporation of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in orthodontic treatment has revolutionized the mechanics of space closure by sliding and/or friction, since it completely improves anchorage and three-dimensional dental control. TADs have also become a widely used absolute-temporary anchorage device due to several advantages such as their low cost, ease of placement and removal, possible immediate loading, reduction of treatment time and possible placement in most areas of the alveolar bone; However, different mechanics are defined that seek to explain tooth movement, sometimes leading to a contradiction of concepts. Literature was selected through a search in the following electronic databases: Pubmed, Lilacs, Google Academic, Elsevier and Proquest. The information search was performed from January 2013 to January 2023 including all languages. After the evaluation of the search trees, 521 articles were considered, then the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in 14 articles that meet the parameters for this review. The available literature revealed that the use of TAD and an adequate and intelligent selection of space closure mechanics would shorten the orthodontic treatment time by approximately 6 months for the management of any malocclusion.

Published: May 2024

The paper proposes a technology transfer system for Latin American countries based on the Latin American model of technology transfer and the digital information obtained. Theoretical methods are used taking into account the analysis of qualitative information, quantitative data is required from the number of specific digital access documents. The Latin American model of technology transfer shows the need to establish technology transfer projects and offices, to which is added a monitoring of the transferred results. It was confirmed that Higher Education Institutions need technological surveillance observatories to evaluate changes, trends and possible transformations in the implementation of technology transfer processes and systems. In conclusion, Latin American countries could develop new models or systems of technology transfer emphasizing changes in the relationship system between the key elements, in particular the University and the business sector, and include the technology transfer offices as an articulating entity between the two.
