Using pictorial action instructions to build a basic humanitarian engineering project
Authors: Cadman Kathleen Paco , Feng Du
Published: May 2019

Humanitarian engineering projects mitigate environmental hazards disproportionately affecting health in low- and middle-income countries. However, widespread literacy deficits can create barriers in training low-literacy adults to construct these projects, indicating a need for literacy-adapted training materials. A randomized control trial in rural Guatemala tested the usability of pictorial action instructions, compared to demonstration-only methods, in training low-literacy adults (N = 60; n = 30 per group) to construct a solar bottle bulb. Fourteen days after the training, participants individually constructed the solar bottle bulb. The intervention group received pictorial action instructions to guide them, and the control group completed construction based on memory. Usability was evaluated by measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of construction, as well as user satisfaction and self-efficacy levels. Effectiveness and self-efficacy were significantly better among those in the intervention group compared to the control group. Considering this, the findings support the use of pictorial action instructions in training low-literacy adults to construct humanitarian engineering projects. This method may allow more individuals in rural regions of low- and middle-income countries to successfully construct their own humanitarian engineering projects in a way that is sustainable and scalable. Further research is needed to test these instructions in different settings, on a larger scale, as well as to test the long-term effects of using pictorial action instructions.

Published: May 2019

Herbal medicine also called botanical or phyto-medicine refers to using a plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. It is becoming more main stream as improvements in analysis and quality control along with advances in clinical research show the value of herbal medicine in the treating and preventing disease. This study was focused on a traditionally prepared and used a product consist of an oil complex (olive oil, Nigella sativa seed oil, rosemary oil); which were researched antimicrobial effect of the product alone, and each oil by disc diffusion methods. Gram-positive and -negative bacteria and yeasts were employed in the susceptibility tests. The antibiotics of imipenem and vancomycin were exploited as positive controls. While there wasn‘t effect on Gram-negative bacteria, strong antimicrobial effects were observed on Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts. Nigella sativa seed oil was the most effective. There wasn‘t antagonistic and/or synergetic effect for the oil complex product. Although essential oils may be assigned the same name, they may differ widely as antimicrobial agents due to the extraction method used, which may explain the distinctive antimicrobial results reported in different studies. This was the first study to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal effects of this herbal medicine.

A Comparative Analysis of Korean and American Prospective Teachers' Perceptions of LGBTQ Issues
Authors: Shin Kyunghee
Published: May 2019

Korea and the US have different levels of tolerance toward homosexuality. At the same time, the school in both countries is considered to reinforce homophobia and heteronormativity. This study focuses on juxtaposing Korean and American prospective teachers to compare their past and current understanding and attitudes toward homosexuality. The research highlights the differences and similarities between the attitudes of the prospective teachers from the two countries and analyses reasons behind these attitudes. This study also examines how the participants face their own biases, understand the complicated issues related to sexual minorities, challenge their own perceptions, and decide whether they would change or keep them. Ten Korean and 10 American prospective teachers participated in a journal writing project guided by anti-homophobic discourses. In the beginning of the project, the Korean participants displayed greater homophobia in a more drastic way than the American participants did. However, the difference between the two countries might be only superficial in that heterosexuality is placed as a norm in both countries. In other words, even though homosexuality is more tolerated in American society, it does not mean that it is accepted as part of the norm. At the end of the project, the American and the Korean participants agreed that heterosexist beliefs and practices permeate society and that such social institutions as schools play an important role in reproducing and reinforcing homophobia. However, three American participants remained silent on the final question of whether they would fight against homophobia and three Korean participants decided not to support homosexual issues. If one says nothing, one cannot be accused of homophobia. By their silence, they voiced their true feelings on the issue, that they didn't support it, showing that silence is far from neutral in a heterosexual society.
An iron spear and arrow tips in the collection of middle 19th century found in Western Siberia, Altai Mountains and Kazakhstan
Authors: Khudyakov Yu. S.
Published: May 2019

Purpose. We aimed to examine the materials of the collection of iron weapons including a tip of a spear and various arrow tips gathered in the course of a scientific expedition across the territory of Western Siberia, Altai Steppes and Eastern Kazakhstan performed in 1840–1843 by a famous scientist, botanist, officer of the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden – Alexander Gustav von Schrenk.
Results. The archaeological findings discovered by the researcher are kept in the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in the city of St. Petersburg. The iron tip of a spear and different iron arrow tips in the composition of that collection were examined and classified on formal grounds. They were divided into certain groups and types depending on characteristics of the section and shape of the feather of every tip. We proposed our reasoning for the chronology and cultural identity of these diverse artifacts, identified types of iron tips of the spear and arrow tips among the studied objects of armament. They were produced and used during diverse chronological periods when medieval nomadic peoples inhabiting the territory of Western Siberia, Altai Steppes and Eastern Kazakhstan could apply iron spears and arrows in the course of hostilities. We identified that the spear and various types of arrows analyzed in the composition of that collection could belong to warriors of different medieval ethnic groups. As a result of our analysis, the findings of armament were related to various chronological periods and definite weapon complexes. Different types of arrows were related to the material culture of the medieval peoples, who inhabited the territory of studied regions of Inner Asia during historical periods of the Early and High Middle Ages.
The German scientists who were in the service of the Russian state described the primary events of the history of studying various archaeological objects related to the cultures of ancient and medieval nomadic people on the territory of the steppe region of Western Siberia and contiguous territories of Altai Steppes and Eastern Kazakhstan. Using methodologies of scientific research, we managed to analyze formal indicators of the artifacts and classify them into certain groups and types of objects of armament, including the iron spear tip and iron arrow tips that constituted an important part of the collection of archaeological findings considered.
Conclusion. As a result of our scientific analysis, we have widen and complemented formerly known data on long-range and close combat armament object sets of the territory of Western Siberia, Altai Steppes, Northern and Eastern Kazakhstan during the Early and High Middle Ages.
Pachychoroid as a biomarker using optical coherence tomography – swept-source in central serous choroidopathy
Authors: Cano-Hidalgo René Alfredo , Urrea-Victoria Tatiana
Published: May 2019

Objective

The objective of the study was to describe and evaluate the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in the fellow eyes of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods

This was a transversal, retrospective, and observational study. The SFCT was measured in patients with unilateral CSC using SS-OCT. The choroidal thickness in symptomatic and fellow eyes was measured using the attached measuring software in SS-OCT. The SFCT dimension was obtained from the horizontal section under the foveal center from the OCT data and these data were analyzed.

Results

The mean age of subjects undergoing imaging SS-OCT was 44.23 years old (standard deviation, 11.57). 30 out of 60 patients (63.3%) were men, and 20 (33.3%) patients had acute clinical disease. The median choroidal thicknesses of the affected eyes were greater than those of the unaffected fellow eyes (P = 0.06). The choroidal thickness measured in 120 eyes of (60 patients) was 421 µm (interquartile range 352–490), which was greater than the choroidal thickness reported in normal eyes.

Conclusions

The measuring of the choroidal thickness using SS-OCT is useful as a non-invasive technique to evaluate the subclinical choroidal abnormalities in CSC.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Study Protein–RNA Interactions
Authors: Cléry Antoine , Gillioz Laurent , Nguyen Cristina K. X. , Allain Frédéric H.-T.
Published: May 2019

Protein–RNA complex formation is at the center of RNA metabolism and leads to the modulation of protein and RNA functions. We propose here a step-by-step guide to investigate these interactions including the identification of the protein and RNA parts involved in complex formation,
the determination of the affinity of the complex and the characterization of the protein–RNA interface at amino acid and nucleotide level. Moreover, we briefly review the methods that are the most often used to obtain this information using primarily examples from our lab and finally
mention what we perceive as the next challenges in the field.
Sulfamides Direct Radical-Mediated Chlorination of Aliphatic C–H Bonds
Authors: Short Melanie , Shehata Mina , Sanders Matthew , Roizen Jennifer
Published: May 2019

Sulfamides guide intermolecular chlorine transfer to gamma-C(sp3) centers. This unusual position-selectivity arises because accessed sulfamidyl radical intermediates engage in otherwise rare 1,6-hydrogen-atom transfer processes. The disclosed chlorine-transfer reaction relies on a light-initiated radical chain-propagation mechanism to oxidize C(sp3)-H bonds.
Automatic Retrosynthetic Pathway Planning Using Template-free Models
Authors: Lin Kangjie , Pei Jianfeng , Lai Luhua , Xu, Youjun
Published: May 2019

We present an attention-based Transformer model for automatic retrosynthesis route planning. Our approach starts from reactants prediction of single-step organic reactions for given products, followed by Monte Carlo tree search-based automatic retrosynthetic pathway prediction. Trained on two datasets from the United States patent literature, our models achieved a top-1 prediction accuracy of over 54.6% and 63.0% with more than 95% and 99.6% validity rate of SMILES, respectively, which is the best up to now to our knowledge. We also demonstrate the application potential of our model by successfully performing multi-step retrosynthetic route planning for four case products, i.e., antiseizure drug Rufinamide, a novel allosteric activator, an inhibitor of human acute-myeloid-leukemia cells and a complex intermediate of drug candidate. Further, by using heuristics Monte Carlo tree search, we achieved automatic retrosynthetic pathway searching and successfully reproduced published synthesis pathways. In summary, our model has achieved the state-of-the-art performance on single-step retrosynthetic prediction and provides a novel strategy for automatic retrosynthetic pathway planning.

The complete depolymerization of a polypentenamer bottlebrush backbone and the kinetic principles involved are discussed. The deconstruction of the bottlebrush occurs from end-to-end in a self-immolative fashion producing individual linear grafts. The phenomenon paints a clearer picture on the original bottlebrush design. Architecture transformations from bottlebrush to linear to star polymers through facile means is explored.
Activation of Ethylene C-H Bonds on Uniform D8 Ir(I) and Ni(II) Cations in Zeolites: Catalytic Butadiene and Butenes Production Under Mild Conditions
Authors: Jaegers Nicholas R. , Khivantsev Konstantin , Kovarik Libor , Klaus Dan , Hu Jian Zhi , Wang Yong , Szanyi János
Published: May 2019

The homolytic activation of the strong C-H bonds in ethylene is demonstrated, for the first time, on d8 Ir(I) and Ni(II) single atoms in the cationic positions of zeolites H-FAU and H-BEA under ambient conditions. The oxidative addition of C2H4 to the metal center occurs with the formation of a Ir(III) and Ni(IV) vynil hydride, explaining the initiation of the Cossee-Arlman cycle on d8 M(I/II) sites in the absence of pre-existing M-H bonds. Under mild reaction conditions (80-220ᵒC, 1 bar), the catalytic dimerization to butenes and the unprecedented dehydrogenative coupling of ethylene to butadiene occurs over these catalysts. Butene-1 is not converted to butadiene under the reaction conditions applied. Post-reaction characterization of the two materials reveals that the active metal cations remain site-isolated whereas deactivation occurs due to the formation of carbonaceous deposits on the zeolites. Our findings have significant implications for the molecular level understanding of ethylene conversion and the development of new ways to functionalize C-H bonds under mild conditions.
Learning from the Ligand: Using Ligand-Based Features to Improve Binding Affinity Prediction
Authors: Boyles Fergus , Deane Charlotte M , Morris Garrett
Published: May 2019

Machine learning scoring functions for protein-ligand binding affinity prediction have been found to consistently outperform classical scoring functions. Structure-based scoring functions for universal affinity prediction typically use features describing interactions derived from the protein-ligand complex, with limited information about the chemical or topological properties of the ligand itself. We demonstrate that the performance of machine learning scoring functions are consistently improved by the inclusion of diverse ligand-based features. For example, a Random Forest combining the features of RF-Score v3 with RDKit molecular descriptors achieved Pearson correlation coefficients of up to 0.831, 0.785, and 0.821 on the PDBbind 2007, 2013, and 2016 core sets respectively, compared to 0.790, 0.737, and 0.797 when using the features of RF-Score v3 alone. Excluding proteins and/or ligands that are similar to those in the test sets from the training set has a significant effect on scoring function performance, but does not remove the predictive power of ligand-based features. Furthermore a Random Forest using only ligand-based features is predictive at a level similar to classical scoring functions and it appears to be predicting the mean binding affinity of a ligand for its protein targets.

EFFICIENCY OF SOURCES OF IRRIGATION WATER IN OYSTER MUSHROOM PRODUCTION IN QUANG TRI PROVINCE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Au Ton Nu Hai
Published: May 2019

Abstract: From the cross-sectional data of 94 oyster mushroom farms in Quang Tri province, this study estimates and compares technical, allocative and cost efficiency of the irrigation water from a factory and from wells by using Bootstrap input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis. The empirical results indicate that oyster mushroom farms are substantially inefficient. The farms that use the irrigation water from a factory are more statistically efficient than those using the water from wells. The mean technical, allocative and cost efficiency of the irrigation water from a factory and from wells is 0.62, 0.58, 0.34 and 0.58, 0.52, 0.26, respectively. Therefore, shifting to use the water from a factory to irrigate oyster mushrooms is one of the proposed recommendations.Keywords: efficiency, oyster mushroom, bootstrap input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis

Com este artigo, pretendemos ilustrar as perceções que os intérpretes de língua gestual portuguesa (LGP) reconhecem na sua atividade profissional. Como referência teórica, analisamos diversos aspetos referentes ao estágio curricular, aos dilemas profissionais, às parcerias do intérprete no contexto educativo, à interpretação para voz e às lesões músculo-esqueléticas. Para isto, realizamos inquéritos por questionário aos intérpretes de língua gestual portuguesa que se encontravam a exercer funções. Através da análise dos dados obtidos verificou-se: insuficiência de parâmetros na lei que respondam a questões relacionadas ao exercício da atividade; o trabalho de parceria entre o intérprete de LGP e os restantes membros da equipa educativa é crucial para o contributo de uma educação de qualidade para os alunos surdos; a voz, enquanto ferramenta de trabalho, deverá ser cuidada e, a sua utilização, potencializada para uma eficaz interpretação para voz; a falta de cuidados que os intérpretes têm relativamente às possíveis lesões músculo-esqueléticas que advêm do exercício da profissão.

UMA CRÍTICA DE TRADUÇÃO:
Authors: Martins Leonardo Freitas de Souza
Published: May 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma crítica da tradução do livro Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal, de Lia Wyler, a partir do livro Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, de J. K. Rowling. A metodologia dessa crítica terá seus fundamentos no projeto crítico delineado por Antoine Berman em sua obra Pour une critique des traductions: John Donne (1995). Para Berman (1995, p. 83), a análise da tradução deve ser realizada sobre uma obra em sua totalidade, o que justifica o âmbito deste trabalho girar em torno de um livro. Dessa forma, pretendemos realizar os passos estabelecidos por Berman na referida obra para realizar uma reflexão sobre o trabalho da tradutora em seu livro, sendo estes: leitura e releitura da tradução a fim de localizar zonas problemáticas e zonas de sucesso na tradução; leitura e releitura do original a fim de localizar trechos no qual ele se sintetiza; e, por fim, confrontação dos trechos da tradução e do original. Essas etapas guiarão nossa análise que, segundo Berman (1995, p. 16), será também um julgamento cuja base foge à subjetividade.

THE VOICED PUZZLE OF THE AMERICAS:
Authors: Fernández Martín Fernández
Published: May 2019

Plurivozes Americanas / American Plural Voices / Plurivoces Americanas is a collection of poems and also little pieces of prose in which different ways of perceiving the realities of the American continent are given a voice. All these varied perspectives converge in an academic effort that, on the one hand, reminds us once again about the importance of translation in our everyday more globalized world and, on the other hand, opens a path of communication between the three predominant languages of the Americas. That is precisely why the decisive threefold task of translation undertaken in the project is placed at the very heart of the collection. Translation is actually what makes the book come to existence; it is what makes us understand all the stories and, in a sense, what makes us hear their voices.
O USO DOS PRONOMES “NÓS” E “WE” E A CONSTRUÇÃO DE IDENTIDADES COLETIVAS NO CORPUS PARALELO GRANDE SERTÃO: VEREDAS || THE DEVIL TO PAY IN THE BACKLANDS
Authors: Nascimento Cristiane Bezerra do , Alves Daniel Antonio De Sousa
Published: May 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma análise dos usos dos pronomes pessoais “nós” e “we” em um corpus paralelo ficcional, composto pelos textos Grande Sertão: Veredas, de Guimarães Rosa, e sua única tradução para o inglês, The devil to pay in the backlands, de James L. Taylor e Harriet de Onís. A investigação busca entender como os pronomes são usados quando os contextos nos quais eles estão colocados implicam a construção de situações de conflito armado. O artigo busca dialogar com pesquisas que investigam o uso dos pronomes pessoais como Barbara e Gouveia (2004) e Maia (1998), e também estabelecer diálogos com trabalhos que tratam da construção de identidades e de conflito como Leudar, Marsland e Nekvapil (2004) e Brewer (2011). Metodologicamente, foi utilizada a ferramenta software AntConc, com vistas a realizar trabalhos de levantamento e filtragem de dados para a pesquisa. Dentre os resultados, destacam-se a frequência de elisão do pronome “nós” em português (88,7% dos casos levantados a partir do corpus são de usos elípticos, contra 11,3% de usos explícitos); destaca-se também o uso explícito, e anteposto ao verbo, do pronome “we”, em língua inglesa (96% das linhas analisadas se encaixam nessa situação) – o que condiz com a estrutura esperada para a língua inglesa. No que diz respeito à construção de identidades coletivas, os dados contrariam as expectativas iniciais da pesquisa, não sendo unânimes os usos em referência aos grupos aliados, tampouco as associações esperadas de prosódias semânticas positivas construindo os grupos identificados como aliados.
A RETRADUÇÃO DE ADVÉRBIOS TERMINADOS EM -MENTE:

Published: May 2019

Segundo Tahir-Gürçalar (2001), o termo retradução é: i) a ação de traduzir, para uma língua-alvo, um texto de uma língua-fonte que já foi traduzido para aquela mesma língua-alvo; e ii) um texto que já possui uma tradução para uma língua-alvo e é retraduzido para essa mesma língua-alvo. Este artigo, inserido no âmbito disciplinar dos Estudos da Tradução, mais especificamente em sua vertente descritiva, e orientado ao produto tradutório, buscou analisar questões de equivalência funcional referentes às traduções dos advérbios terminados em -mente. Baseados no estudo de Moraes (2015) e na Hipótese da Retradução (BERMAN, 1990), compilou-se um corpus paralelo bilíngue composto por uma obra literária originalmente escrita em espanhol e duas de suas traduções, uma para o português do Brasil e a outra para o português de Portugal. Os dados quantitativos revelaram que nem sempre a Hipótese da Retradução encontrará respaldo. Observou-se também que nem sempre os advérbios terminados em -mente no texto-fonte são traduzidos por sua forma cognata, corroborando os dados de Moraes (2015).

Ao tomar como base os artigos “La traduzione in Brasile negli ultimi trent’anni. Breve storia e tendenze” (2003) e “Breve estudo sobre a literatura brasileira na Itália: traduções entre 1882 e 1996” (2007), o objetivo deste artigo é traçar um paralelo nas relações de trocas culturais entre a Itália e o Brasil a partir da circulação de traduções literárias em ambos os países no período de 1977 a 2007. A partir dos dados fornecidos pelo Index Translationum da UNESCO e guiadas pela teoria dos polissistemas de Even-Zohar, pretende-se verificar que tipo de literatura circula nos dois países. Os resultados indicam assimetrias, confirmando a tendência de culturas mais jovens importarem mais textos traduzidos.
A DOMESTICAÇÃO DE UM TEXTO NÃO TÃO SELVAGEM:
Authors: GONÇALVES Davi Silva
Published: May 2019

Este trabalho discute alguns aspectos da tradução da peça Savages, de Christopher Hampton (1974). Como intuito principal, proponho uma reflexão acerca das dificuldades encontradas durante o processo tradutório, tendo em vista a distância temporal e espacial dos contextos de partida e de chegada. O referencial teórico escolhido para tal análise literária e tradutória se situa, principalmente, nas discussões propostas por Lawrence Venuti (2002) e Stuart Hall (2003). Aspectos culturais, históricos e políticos se interseccionam na trama de Hampton que, apesar de inglês, escreve sobre o Brasil – aspectos estes que inevitavelmente influenciam diretamente as escolhas tradutórias, tendo em vista a indissociabilidade entre texto(s) e contexto(s). Acredito que a análise e a tradução dessa peça possam contribuir para um maior enriquecimento naquilo que tange o seu debate acerca da extinção indígena, principalmente na região amazônica, do golpe militar de 1964 e do surgimento de organizações de resistência a tal regime. Trata-se este debate do foco principal deste artigo, sendo o “traduzir” muitas vezes sinônimo do “politizar” – em um momento político que carece de diálogo, bem como no qual reina o esquecimento com relação àquilo que o objeto aborda.
O LIVRO PREMIADO:

Published: May 2019

A presente pesquisa tem como ponto inicial a doação de um acervo para o Programa de Mestrado em Letras da Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei, acervo que consiste nos 326 livros inscritos no 8° Prêmio Passo Fundo Zaffari & Bourbon de Literatura. O objetivo da pesquisa é pensar o acervo em narrativa, isto é, enquanto microcosmo da produção literária brasileira contemporânea, indo, assim, além de uma ordem meramente taxonômica. Para tanto, adotamos um método de leitura em gráficos, proposto por Franco Moretti (2008), para quem a proposta de um trabalho quantitativo de leitura deve abandonar o close reading por um distant reading. Neste primeiro momento da pesquisa, procuramos discutir, sobretudo, qual o impacto dos prêmios na produção e recepção do texto literário: em que medida mercado e literatura se reconfiguram a partir do que, com os prêmios, passa-se a entender como um livro/autor/gênero premiados. Como pensar a literatura brasileira contemporânea e sua globalização a partir, justamente, dos prêmios? Além disso, propomos uma diferenciação entre livro canônico e livro premiado, com base na relação valor literário/circuito editorial.
ESCREVER ENTRE AS LÍNGUAS:
Authors: WILHELM Jane Elisabeth , COSTA Pâmela Berton , DEÂNGELI Maria Angélica
Published: May 2019

O entre duas línguas da auto-tradução em Nancy Huston subverte as relações hierárquicas entre o original e a tradução, ou a oposição entre língua materna e língua estrangeira, e nos convida assim a nos interrogarmos sobre nossas práticas e representações de escrita e de tradução. Buscamos compreender em que medida a escrita entre o francês e o inglês de Nancy Huston questiona não somente as categorias tradicionais de tradução, mas também o gênero como construção social. A história da tradução é atravessada por metáforas sexistas ou de natureza sexual, como “belas infiéis”, que refletem o papel inferior da tradução, associada ao feminino, em contraste ao original, identificado como masculino. Também a questão da infidelidade, ilustrada pela máxima traduttore traditore, é refutada por Nancy Huston tanto em sua prática de auto-tradução como no texto intitulado Traduttore non è traditore, publicado na coletânea Pour une littérature-monde. Ela retoma, em seus textos, o tema da maternidade e à dicotomia homem-espírito/mulher-corpo. Nota-se tanto uma certa ansiedade relacionada à língua materna e ao corpo em sua ficção, quanto um questionamento relacionado à máscara e às identidades múltiplas. O exílio, esse “sentimento de estar dentro/fora”, para Nancy Huston, abre a questão da identidade pessoal e das identidades múltiplas (linguística, sexual, nacional ou política), de tal maneira que a identidade dos autores e tradutores pode igualmente se embaralhar e se confundir. Em busca de sentido, autores e leitores são engajados em um trabalho infinito de tradução, de tal modo que é toda a experiência humana que se inscreveria nos termos de um paradigma da tradução.
Traducir y recrear. Estrategias de Aurora Venturini en Cantos de Maldoror: Satánica Trinidad
Authors: SALERNO María Paula
Published: May 2019

Este artículo se propone estudiar algunos aspectos de la traducción de Les chants de Maldoror de la escritora argentina Aurora Venturini (1921-2015), publicada en 2007 bajo el título Cantos de Maldoror: Satánica Trinidad. El análisis de la obra muestra que la actividad de traducción cumple allí un rol que excede el de la trasposición lingüística de una lengua a otra: la fidelidad a la letra y la búsqueda de equivalencias entre lenguas no constituyen una prioridad para la traductora argentina. El modo en que Venturini trabaja el texto extranjero se emparenta con el del enfoque hermenéutico: la obra traducida resulta ser una traducción-recreación (OSEKI-DÉPRÉ, 1999), o bien una traducción-imitación (OSEKI-DÉPRÉ, 1999), derivada de una lectura crítica del texto de Isidore Ducasse, del estudio de sus contextos de producción y recepción y de la biografía del autor.

Munculnya studi etika, dalam tataran teoritis, khususnya dari perspektif administrasi publik, terlihat dari adanya evolusi perhatian pemikiran administrasi secara bertahap bergeser dari murni struktural danaspek fungsional dariorganisasi dan manajemen untuk pertanyaan tentang kepemimpinan dan motivasi awalnya dan kemudian bergeser ke studi perilaku yang tepat atas dasar standar etika dan normatif tertentu. Begitupun dengan adanya penetrasi aspek politik ke administrasi publik, atau dari sekedar implementasi ke formulasi. Dengan demikian, etika publik diperlukan dalam rangka membangun etika tidak hanya di lingkungan birokrasi pemerintah (eksekutif) melainkan juga lembaga politik, maupun lembaga negara lainnya. Hal ini penting, mengingat praktik atau perilaku pelanggaran etika publik seperti halnya korupsi dapat terjadi pada semua level pemerintahan saat ini, baik korupsi politik maupun korupsi di level birokrasi.
