Specialized terminology, instrumental competence, and corpus management tools / Terminología especializada, competencia instrumental y herramientas de gestión de corpus
Authors: Bayón Cenitagoya Candelas
Published: May 2024

Since its start in the 40s and 50s and its re-emergence in the 80s, corpus linguistics has established itself as an interesting research field for a variety of disciplines, such as Translation Studies (Corpas Pastor, 2001).. Related to it, Public Service Interpreting and Translation (PSIT), as the discipline that deals with communication between service providers and users, also plays a role in migrants' societal inclusion. One of the most prolific settings for research within PSIT is that of legal-administrative translation, within which the employment field might be located, since it is a setting that poses many challenges for language professionals, primarily of terminological nature. In this vein, this article aims at analyzing two corpus management tools according to Urbano Mendaña’s (2017) criteria, in an attempt to highlight the relevance of the documentation process in translation and the applicability of corpus linguistics to specialized domains, like the employment setting

Textual Commerce and Character: Publishing Protagonists in Laurence Sterne’s
Tristram Shandy
and J.M. Coetzee’s
Diary of a Bad Year
Authors: HARDIE-FORSYTH ALEXANDER
Published: May 2024

This article examines J.M. Coetzee’s hitherto under-analysed critical engagements with
Tristram Shandy
so as to suggest how Sterne’s treatment of a publishing protagonist holds a particular resonance for Coetzee’s later invention of such a figure (‘JC’) in his 2007 fiction
Diary of a Bad Year.
It argues that reading
Tristram Shandy
and the
Diary
side by side allows us to identify the figure of the publishing protagonist in both texts as a character without a key — i.e. as irreducible either to the sum of its referents or to a straightforward cipher for the author-proper. Understanding the publishing protagonist in this way permits us to re-examine terms of ownership (over opinions as well as texts) alongside the economic models we use to conceptualise how authorial character is formed and functions within textual marketplaces.

CREATIVITY AND IDENTITY. PARTICIPATORY THEATER AS A TOOL IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF REFLECTIVE IDENTITY: THE ROLE OF SOFT SKILLS
Authors: Porankiewicz-Żukowska Aleksandra
Published: May 2024

In this article, I undertake an analysis of issues related to the role played by creativity in the process of identity construction, in particular reflective identity. As I see it, social changes characteristic of late modernity, mean that processes related to creativity and the development of emotional intelligence, have gained in importance in the context of identity development. Contemporary social reality also requires the stimulation of new competences useful for constructing reflective identity within the framework of nurturing and educational systems. Is it possible for participatory theater to act as a tool to support the development of creativity and thereby be employed in the development of reflective identity?
NAVIGATING THE DIGITAL LANDSCAPE: SITUATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT OF DIGITAL SOLUTIONS IN FORWARDING COMPANIES
Authors: Lapinskaitė Indrė , Ingaunytė Neda , Zemlickienė Vaida , Martinkutė-Kaulienė Raimonda
Published: May 2024

This research emphasises the transformative power of digital solutions in Lithuanian forwarding companies, addressing the necessity for a systematic risk assessment to optimise processes and mitigate associated risks. The survey indicates an increasing adoption of digital solutions, with around two-thirds of companies already utilising them. A case study employing the AHP method identifies three key digital solutions: invoice automation, waybill digitisation and blockchain. A combined solution called a “document flow and management system”, showed significant potential for time and cost savings. Three risks – synchronising participants, employee resistance, and a lack of specialists – are identified as having the highest overall assessment and were selected for further analysis while implementing the prioritised digital solution. The expert evaluation identifies employee resistance as the most probable risk, posing potential significant losses in the initial post-implementation phase. Although issues with synchronising participants could yield similar losses, experts view this risk as less probable than employee resistance. After the AHP analysis, it was decided to evaluate the current information and document flow process, in other words, to optimise the process. The optimisation results show that freight forwarding companies could reduce document management time by up to 59%.
Plant diversity effects on soil multistability
Authors: Eisenhauer Nico , Vogel Cordula , Domeignoz Horta Luiz A. , Bonato Asato Ana , Janda Zarah , Cesarz Simone
Published: May 2024

Soil is the basis for life on Earth as we know it. Healthy and stable soil is a prerequisite for well-functioning terrestrial ecosystems and has, thus, been proposed to play a key role in plant diversity–ecosystem functioning relationships. The overall objective of this sub-project is to study multidimensional soil stability as affected by plant diversity in a long-term plant diversity experiment. We designed three coordinated work packages (WPs) to comprehensively assess soil multistability to environmental fluctuations and climate extremes by considering the biological, chemical and physical dimensions that are key for soil functioning. We will use all unique facilities and approaches of the Jena Experiment Research Unit by combining synthesis of long-term data in the Main Experiment and the ΔBEF Experiment with performing new soil analyses in the DrY Experiment, the ResCUE Experiment and a joint CoMic Experiment, to gain a better mechanistic understanding of plant diversity–ecosystem functioning relationships. In close collaboration with other sub-projects, we will assess biological, chemical and physical soil properties and stability indicators that will be used to calculate soil multifunctionality and multistability indices. In WP1, we will build on three unique datasets to explore short-term and long-term effects of plant diversity on the stability of soil (microbial) properties. In WP2, we will combine different datasets and approaches to explore if plant diversity effects on the magnitude and stability of soil properties increase with abiotic and biotic stresses. In WP3, we will combine measurements of the above-mentioned dimensions of soil stability to explore if plant diversity increases the stability of multiple soil properties under hot drought. This sub-project is at the heart of the Research Unit by testing the overarching hypotheses outlined in the Coordination Proposal of the Jena Experiment, contributing to all main experiments, sharing data and performing joint sampling campaigns with all sub-projects and, at the same time, introducing a novel concept of soil multistability as affected by plant diversity and climate extremes. We propose to use a combination of simple, high-throughput (e.g. bait-lamina test) and more sophisticated methods (e.g. extracellular polymeric substances analyses) to be able to investigate temporal dynamics of soil processes and their mechanistic basis. Taken together, the results of the three WPs will provide new insights into the stabilising mechanisms of soil properties in the long term and in relation to climate extremes through plant diversity.

The Vaupés River stands out as one of the few within the Amazon basin due to its numerous rapids. These riverine fast-flowing sections not only provide habitat to highly specialized fishes but also function as natural barriers hindering the movement of fish along its course. During a fish-collecting expedition in the lower Vaupés River basin in Colombia, 95 species were registered belonging to 30 families and seven orders. Despite recent inventories in the region, our comprehensive sampling efforts particularly focused on the rapids and associated rheophilic fauna, allowing us to contribute the first records of four fish species in Colombia (Myloplus lucienae Andrade, Ota, Bastos & Jégu, 2016, Tometes makue Jégu, Santos & Jégu, 2002, also first record of the genus, Leptodoras praelongus (Myers & Weitzman, 1956), and Eigenmannia matintapereira Peixoto, Dutra & Wosiacki, 2015) and six presumably undescribed species (i.e., Jupiaba sp., Moenkhausia sp., Phenacogaster sp., Bunocephalus sp., Hemiancistrus sp., and Archolaemus sp.). In this study, a commented list of the ichthyofauna of these environments is presented, as well as a photographic catalog of fish species integrated into the CaVFish Project – Colombia.

Relationship Between Square Dancing and Meaning in Life Among Older Adults: Examining an Age-Based Moderation Model
Authors: Chang Liang-Chih , Dattilo John , Huang Fei-Hsin
Published: May 2024

Purpose:

Square dancing may help older adults experience meaning in life (MIL). However, it remains unclear how square dancing facilitates MIL. To address this question, we examined whether participation frequency, transcendent experiences, and social support correlated positively with MIL, and whether age moderated the correlation between transcendent experiences and MIL.

Method:

We studied 268 older adults using in-person surveys to collect data on age, participation frequency, transcendent experiences, social support, and MIL. We analyzed data using hierarchical regression.

Results:

High frequency of participation and high levels of transcendent experiences and social support simultaneously predicted high levels of MIL, and age decreased the positive relationship between transcendent experiences and MIL.

Conclusion:

Based on the hierarchical regression results, we recommend strategies to increase older adults' MIL by providing square dancing opportunities; working with them to improve square dancing skills that facilitate transcendent experiences; and guiding them in seeking sources of social support. [

La participation sociale des personnes aînées : un pilier au développement des communautés locales ?
Authors: Marchand Isabelle , Laau-Laurin Olivier
Published: May 2024

À partir des résultats d’une étude qualitative, conduite en contexte pandémique (2020-2023), notre contribution s’intéresse aux apports de la participation sociale des personnes aînées au regard du développement des communautés. Le concept de la participation sociale en gérontologie et son articulation avec le développement des communautés locales seront mis en perspective, puis le cadre méthodologique sera exposé. Les résultats révèlent que, contrairement aux idées reçues qui positionnent les personnes aînées comme des réceptacles passifs de soin, elles peuvent agir comme moteur de l’action collective; elles sont partie prenante du système local d’action et développent des initiatives favorisant l’innovation socioterritoriale afin de répondre à un problème social ou à un besoin de la communauté. Leurs contributions participatives favorisent le développement de communautés riches et résilientes.

L’objectif de cet article est d’interroger l’utilisation des statistiques dans l’histoire de la santé, dans l’État de São Paulo. Depuis les premières commissions statistiques instaurées au XIXe siècle par l’Assemblée législative, les informations sur les naissances et les décès ont servi à mesurer les richesses de la région. La question sociale ne représentait pas, en soi, un sujet d’intérêt pour les différentes administrations, à cause de la croyance en la salubrité locale, du peu d’attention accordée à la santé individuelle et de la disponibilité de la main-d’œuvre esclave. À l’époque républicaine, un réseau d’assistance s’est constitué en liaison avec des associations philanthropes, bénéficiant de subventions du gouvernement de l’État fédéré et des sphères fédérale et municipale.

La place de la traduction dans l’univers du théâtre : le surtitrage en exemple
Authors: Kazi-Tani Lynda
Published: May 2024

Tout au long de l’histoire, la traduction a été une source constante de découverte de l’autre, son héritage culturel, ses connaissances et sa vision du monde. Elle nous permet de nous immerger dans des univers lointains et méconnus, tels que la littérature, la poésie ou les sciences, transcendant ainsi les contraintes temporelles ou géographiques. Au fil des décennies, la traduction a évolué, se rapprochant des nouvelles technologies pour donner naissance à de nouvelles spécialités, telles que la traduction audiovisuelle avec, entre autre, le doublage et le sous-titrage. Toutefois, il existe un champ de recherche largement sous-étudié et méconnu, se situant à la croisée de la traduction, des arts de la scène et de la technologie : le surtitrage. Dans le cadre de cette étude, notre objectif est de mettre en lumière cette pratique professionnelle en explorant ses multiples dimensions. Pour ce faire, notre approche de recherche englobera une analyse approfondie des aspects tant théoriques que pratiques du surtitrage. Cette démarche vise à mettre en exergue l’importance du surtitrage dans le paysage artistique et linguistique contemporain, tout en contribuant à combler les lacunes qui subsistent entre la traduction, les arts de la scène et la technologie.

CREATOUR consists of five research centers and forty pilot organizations across Portugal that research the best ways to culturally boost tourism. This chapter will discuss the success of the CREATOUR network in developing tourism centered around culture and local sustainability. Both quantitative and qualitative sources are referenced to illustrate the ability of CREATOUR to facilitate culturally respectful tourism. Through the description of CREATOUR's initiatives, it is conveyed that the network revitalizes underdeveloped tourism economies while simultaneously enriching tourists' travels by sustainably showcasing their diverse heritages.
The Relationship Between Culture, Geography, and Tourism
Authors: Zayım Merve
Published: May 2024

Culture, geography, and tourism are interrelated and mutually influential concepts. Geographical factors play a significant role in determining tourism destinations, the emergence of different types of tourism, and the sustainability of tourism activities, while cultural elements create important attractions that capture tourists' interest and encourage them to visit. Culture influences the geographical characteristics of a region and the lifestyle of its society, while geography shapes the cultural heritage of a community. Therefore, the relationship between culture, geography, and tourism is complex and multifaceted, serving as crucial factors to consider in the planning and management of tourism activities. Cultural elements, which provide significant economic resources, should be evaluated within the scope of tourism, and tourism policies should be formulated considering these elements in an integrated manner, within the framework of conservation and utilization balance, and evaluated in terms of sustainability.
Articulating Deep Learning and Internet of Things (IoT) in the Hospitality Industry as a Catalyst for Sustainable Consumption and Food Wastage
Authors: Singh Bhupinder , Jain Vishal , Kaunert Christian
Published: May 2024

A new age of innovation in the hospitality sector is being ushered in by the confluence of deep learning (DL) and the internet of things (IoT), which offers a comprehensive solution to sustainability issues. Due in large part to its complex supply networks and high resource consumption, the hospitality sector contributes significantly to food waste and environmental damage. In order to provide a more sustainable and socially responsible approach to waste management, this chapter explores how the combination of DL and IoT systems might play a crucial role in it. DL algorithms are used to optimize a number of areas of hospitality operations because to their capacity to evaluate massive datasets. These models are used in the food service industry for customized menu improvement, inventory control and demand forecasting. These technologies can help to achieve SDGs 1 and 2 by creating ecologically and socially responsible hospitality industries through the promotion of sustainable consumption patterns and effective waste management.

Published: May 2024

As blockchain technology continues its disruptive influence across various sectors, its environmental implications have raised concerns about long-term viability and global repercussions. This chapter explores the concept of “green blockchain” as a framework for sustainable alternatives. It delves into the transition to energy-efficient consensus mechanisms like proof of stake. The chapter also addresses the regulatory landscape, ethical considerations, and future prospects, including the integration of artificial intelligence to optimize blockchain processes. Despite the potential benefits, challenges such as regulatory uncertainty, scalability concerns, and privacy risks underscore the industry's need to navigate carefully and strike a balance between innovation and environmental responsibility. The chapter advocates for a collective effort to build a culture of sustainability within the blockchain community and highlights successful community-led initiatives and regulatory frameworks as crucial elements in mitigating the environmental impact of blockchain technology.
Consumer Intention Toward Participation in Proximity Marketing
Authors: Al-Haddad Hadeel B. , Galib Mohammad Hasan , Herzallah Fadi A. T.
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the factors affecting consumers' attitudes toward proximity marketing and their participation intention. An online survey was conducted in the USA to test the research hypotheses, and the data were collected through crowdsourcing via Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). The collected data (n=301) were analyzed using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that consumers' privacy concerns, level of knowledge, perceived benefits, and trust have a significant positive effect on their attitude toward proximity marketing, and the results also verified that consumers' attitude has a significant positive effect on their intention to participate in proximity marketing. This study is a pioneering work as it is one of the few research papers examining consumers' intention to participate in proximity marketing by measuring the effect of several variables that were not investigated adequately in the proximity marketing context.

Sobolev improvements on sharp Rellich inequalities
Authors: Barbatis Gerassimos , Tertikas Achilles
Published: May 2024

There are two Rellich inequalities for the bilaplacian, that is, for

\int (\Delta u)^{2}dx

, the one involving

|\nabla u|

and the other involving

|u|

at the RHS. In this article, we consider these inequalities with sharp constants and obtain sharp Sobolev-type improvements. More precisely, in our first result, we improve the Rellich inequality with

|\nabla u|

obtained by Beckner in dimensions

n=3,4

by a sharp Sobolev term, thus complementing existing results for the case

n\geq 5

. In the second theorem, the sharp constant of the Sobolev improvement for the Rellich inequality with

|u|

is obtained.
Enriched monoidal categories I: Centers
Authors: Kong Liang , Yuan Wei , Zhang Zhi-Hao , Zheng Hao
Published: May 2024

This work is the first one in a series, in which we develop a mathematical theory of enriched (braided) monoidal categories and their representations. In this work, we introduce the notion of the

E_{0}

-center (

E_{1}

-center or

E_{2}

-center) of an enriched (monoidal or braided monoidal) category, and compute the centers explicitly when the enriched (braided monoidal or monoidal) categories are obtained from the canonical constructions. These centers have important applications in the mathematical theory of gapless and gapped boundaries of topological phases. They also play very important roles in the higher representation theory, which is the focus of the second work in the series.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study is to establish whether corporate governance moderates the relationship between strategy implementation and the performance of road projects by Kenya Rural Roads Authority. The study employs a multi theoretical approach, integrating Resource-Based Theory, Agency Theory, Contingency Theory of Leadership, Legitimacy Theory, Theory of Constraints, Enterprise Risk Management, Technology Acceptance Model, and Communication Theory. The study utilized a mixed methods approach, with pragmatism as the chosen research philosophy. The study focused on 140 Development Road Projects by KeRRA. The sample comprised 208 individuals, including 104 Strategy Implementation Officers (SIOs) and 104 Contractors’ Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). This was determined using the Solvin 1974 formula due to authority duality. The Director General of KeRRA and the Secretary to the Board of Directors were also part of the target population. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing a sequential explanatory design to investigate the relationship between governance practices, technology adoption, resource availability, communication, and road project outcomes at the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). Data collection involved questionnaires and interviews with strategy implementation officials and the Director General, utilizing cluster, stratified, and deliberate sampling for both qualitative and quantitative data. Statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation and regression analysis were performed on SPSS Version 27. The study revealed that corporate governance practices have a statistically significant moderating effect on the influence of strategy implementation on the performance of road projects by Kenya Rural Roads Authority.
Chimakonam’s sense-phenomenalism and the bogey of consciousness
Authors: Agada Ada
Published: May 2024

In the 2019 work “A Sense-Phenomenal Look at the Problem of Personal Identity,” Jonathan O. Chimakonam articulates an intriguing and novel body-only perspective of personal identity that has a direct implication for our understanding of consciousness. In this article, I focus on the aspect of the work that adopts a seemingly eliminativist stance on the hard problem of consciousness. Chimakonam’s version of physicalism rejects the reality of consciousness or experience while accepting that humans have sensations. Having transferred the location of sensation from the mind (the within), and even the brain, to the sense organs (the outside) without eliminating the category of mind, Chimakonam unwittingly raises the question of whether his philosophy of mind represents an eliminativist stance or a reductive physicalist stance. In this article, I argue that while a reductive physicalist reading of Chimakonam is a plausible interpretation of his stance, the non-rejection of the category of mind and the seeming distinction between mind and brain supports the claim that sense-phenomenalism does not radically overcome the hard problem of consciousness.
