This article is a report on the 14th Autumn Seminar of the Section for Teachers and Researchers of the Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters (SKTL), which was held at the University of Helsinki in August 2022. The theme of this event was accessibility, a timely topic connected to discussions on how to enhance democracy by promoting inclusion. The theme of the seminar was first approached generally, through short accounts of how issues of accessibility are included and approached in the Finnish university-level translator training. Thereafter the discussion continued in three workshops. The first of them concentrated on the concepts of Easy Language and expertise by experience, the second on possible collaborative efforts in teaching accessibility to translators-and-interpreters-to-be, and the third gave the workshop participants an opportunity to learn how to adapt texts into Easy Language in practice. The present article describes the workshops as well as invited presentations and introductions, and summarises the discussions and outcomes.
Approximations and Appropriations
Authors: Franzon Johan
Published: May 2024

The article explores the suitability of the terms approximation and appropriation for describing source–target relations in song translations. It is argued that the terms are fit and flexible enough to serve the variability of sung target texts, the many contexts and genres songs appear in, and the fact a song must be performed to be a song. They can be understood simply as ‘coming or getting near’ and ‘making it your own,’ respectively, but they can also be used to recognize different kinds of approximation (textual, musical, stylistic-aesthetic, visual, etc.) and signs of appropriation (discoursal, sociocultural, ethnic, etc.). The terms have been used in previous research in music and translation but less so in general translation studies, perhaps because of a perceived connotation of imperfection or controversy. The variability of song translation is discussed through diverse examples: two hit tunes, a music video, a hymn, a scout song, and an opera aria. A song translation can (only) deliver an approximation of some qualities of a source song, but it will also (often) change some of those qualities in an appropriation for a new situation.
Sukupuolen käännöksiä
Authors: Merikallio Anna
Published: May 2024

This paper examines three science fiction texts by Ursula K. Le Guin and their translations from English into Finnish. It concentrates on how the translation strategies of the 3rd person singular pronouns and surrounding gendered expressions that (re)produce nonnormative gender in the source texts affect gender representation in the target texts. Two parallel corpora, one in English and the other in Finnish, are analysed with corpus methods. The resulting statistics support the translation analysis of each text. The paper shows how the nonnormative gender representation in the source texts becomes diluted in the target texts because of domesticating translation strategies.

Published: May 2024

In this article, we present our two-year-experiment of integrating Easy Language into university-level translator education. In the experiment, students adapted fiction and non-fiction into Easy Language for an audience with special needs. Easy Language refers to an inclusive type of Standard Language which is modified to its special readership to enhance comprehension and accessibility. Our project focuses on how translator students adopt their new role and apply their translation competence in their adaptations. We analyze the commentaries the participants wrote about their adaptation process. As future translators, the students are familiar with textual changes. Nevertheless, the commentaries demonstrate uncertainty which arises when the adapter has to simplify the text and reduce its contents. The students also ponder how to orientate themselves to the cognitive needs of their prospective readers. The overall results of the experiment turned out to be promising, and translation and adaptation into Easy Language is gradually becoming an integral part of the curriculum of translator training at the University of Helsinki.
Multilingual communication in a researcher’s work

Published: May 2024

This article presents the preliminary results of a questionnaire survey conducted at the University of Eastern Finland in the first half of 2020. The aim of the survey was to investigate the multiple ways in which multilingual communication and various translatorial activities are included in a researcher’s daily work in different disciplines. The phenomenon discussed in this text is called research translatoriality, where the term translatoriality emphasizes the fluid and versatile nature of translatorial practices that are present in research contexts, extend beyond translation proper, and are performed by various agents. The survey results emphasize the role of English as the dominant language of academic discourse, but the full variety of languages present in researchers’ work at UEF is much wider. Moreover, some kind of translation or interpreting seem to take place at all phases of the research process. Interestingly enough, most researchers do translating, interpreting or proofreading themselves, although many of them have no training for these tasks. Only a minority use the services of language professionals.
‘I fulfil my place among the humankind, in the universe’
Authors: Ruokonen Minna , Lassus Jannika , Virtanen Taru
Published: May 2024

As there are only a handful of empirical studies on translators’ job satisfaction, this article reexamines three sets of data on Finnish translators from that perspective. The data were collected in two surveys on the translation profession with 138 and 450 respondents (conducted, respectively, in 2012 and 2014) and in 16 interviews on government translators’ job satisfaction (2013). The results indicate that the translators were mostly satisfied with their jobs and felt that their work is valued. Experiences of stress varied; in-house employment did not exclude feeling stressed. Possibilities for influencing aspects of one’s work showed some variation, but most translators felt that they could influence at least the tone and quality of the translation. Particularly senior translators were able to ‘craft’ their job to their liking. Professional contacts were fairly frequent for both in-house and freelance translators, and colleagues were an important resource to many. Further study is needed on differences between translators in different situations and on the resources available to translators to offset the demands of their job.

What Is the Impact of Major Diversion Attitude on Undergraduates' Learning Gains？ ——The Mediating Role of Course Perception
Authors: Sun Qintao , Shi Yueqi
Published: May 2024

Major diversion is an important part of the large-category student enrollment and training model. The extent to which undergraduates recognize the rationality of the major diversion system, their satisfaction with the diverted major, and their major identity after diversion affect their subsequent learning process and results. The questionnaire survey of undergraduates in this study found that major diversion attitude has a significant positive effect on undergraduates' learning gains; the mediating effect test found that course perception plays a partially mediating role between major diversion attitude and learning gains. Therefore, under the large-category student enrollment and training model, it is necessary to improve the major diversion system in terms of the formulation of diversion system, the guidance of major selection and the promotion of major identity. Furthermore, strengthening the logical connection and content coupling of different types of courses, dealing with the proportion, priority and sequence of courses, optimizing the allocation of course resources, reasonable planning and setting courses also play an important role in improving learning gains of undergraduates.

在疫情防控常态化形势下，传统课堂向线上教学模式的转变增加了老师授课的难度。根据文献检索，我们发现尽管国内外对于教师身份认同的研究并不少，但与疫情浪潮下的线上教学相关的文献数目屈指可数。鉴于此，本研究依据教师身份认同和社会文化等理论，通过对103位高校教师进行问卷调查与个别教师的半结构式访谈，结合多样化多视角参考资料分析疫情冲击下网课中的教师身份认同现状及其遭受危机的原因。结果表明，由于线上授课效果有时不尽如人意，在线课堂授课方式以及互动方式的改变加大了教师授课的难度，阻碍了教师对课堂教学质量的评估，使得教师身份认同面临危机。同时，本研究通过综合分析问卷结果以及访谈所得，参考对照大量前沿的国内外的相关核心文献资料，从多维度探寻提升教师身份认同的路径，为其提出可行性建议。
The transition from the traditional classroom to online learning has made it more difficult for teachers to teach in the context of ongoing epidemic prevention and control. According to our literature search, while there are many studies on teacher identity both at home and abroad, the number of studies on online teaching under the epidemic wave is small. Based on teacher identity theory and sociocultural theory, this study conducted a questionnaire survey among 103 college teachers, which were combined with diverse and multi-perspective reference materials to analyze the status quo of teacher identity in online courses affected by the epidemic and the causes of the impact. The findings indicate that online teaching is not always satisfactory and that changes in online teaching methods and interactive methods increase the difficulty of teachers' teaching, making them constantly locate themselves and be located in social participation and interaction, putting teachers' identities in jeopardy. Simultaneously, using a comprehensive analysis of the questionnaire and a large number of cutting-edge domestic and foreign core literature, this study investigates ways to improve teachers' identities from multiple perspectives and proposes feasible solutions

Authors: Liu Yuejun , Abdul Nifa Faizatul Akmar Bt , Teong Lim Kong
Published: May 2024

Higher-level management and monitoring systems must be developed to maintain increasing global civil infrastructure projects. One such innovation in the construction industry is the Digital Twin (DT), which helps businesses address the evolving needs for smart city development and infrastructure growth through enhanced project management and execution. In this paper, we introduce a DT framework that will digitally describe construction areas in real-time through the use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, Building Information Modelling (BIM), and machine learning (ML). The computer program periodically collects and analyses data using sensors associated with the environment along with 3D imaging sensors (LiDAR, photogrammetric cameras). More Effective project management and monitoring are the result of linking this data with BIM systems, allowing for reports on the construction development. In order to promote proactive management, this system uses ML algorithms to analyze patterns and predict future risks. For superior prediction and decision-making by the DT, this system's dual-input layout processes both spatial and temporal data. The framework enables a method to collect data in real time and use them to achieve early detection of issues, improved resource management, and enhanced project outcomes.

Public service in government institutions, particularly in one of court in Indonesia, has become the primary focus in addressing negative stigma and public complaints related to service performance and efficiency. During the pandemic, technology integration emerged as a solution, with the execution of the comprehensive One-Stop Integrated Service Program (PTSP) and drive-thru services at one of the courts in Indonesia. This research aims to measure the influence of interpersonal communication between officers and lawyers on service quality in PTSP and drive-thru services, as well as to identify the role of technology in these processes. The research methodology employs multiple regression analysis to comprehend the cause-and-effect relationship between interpersonal communication variables and service quality. Focusing on openness, empathy, supportive attitude, positive attitude, and equality, this study also considers the impact of organizational culture and the role of lawyers as key stakeholders. The expected results aim to provide recommendations for enhancing public services at one of the courts in Indonesia, including technology development, staff training, and organizational culture changes. The research hypothesis states that interpersonal communication significantly influences service quality at the court. The findings of this research are intended to contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of public service in government institutions.
Islamic Economic Values of Traders in Traditional Markets in Riau, Indonesia
Authors: . Mawardi , Bustami Zulfahmi , Dahlan Ahmad
Published: May 2024

This article aims to study the ethics and values of Islamic economics in traders who still survive selling in traditional markets. The exploration of Islamic economic values and ethics as the theme of the study is motivated by the assumption that the trade order has shifted to a modern direction and partly results in the loss of ethics and values in several trading transaction systems. This research is a field study at several traditional markets in Tembilahan, Indragiri Hilir, Riau, an area called "Negeri Seribu Parit". The analysis uses a descriptive-qualitative approach from observation data, documentation, and interviews. The results showed that the traders in the Tembilahan traditional market had diverse ethnic backgrounds; where there was a majority of Malays from the Riau area, some were Minangkabau, then there were the Bugis, Makasar, Banjar Borneo, and what was unique was that there were very few Javanese. Even so, so far, the Javanese are very much found in several regions of Indonesia. Many traders in the Tembilahan traditional market still practice Islamic economic values and ethics. First, most of these diverse ethnic groups have an Islamic background, so understanding and teachings are still inherent in every behavior. Second, traditional markets that still survive are classified into different segments, such as the fish market, dawn market, squat market, and others, so that the value of competition in the modern market often "allows all means" to get as much profit as possible can still be controlled by the association of traders, and the local government.

Published: May 2024

Plastic waste, particularly hazardous types such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyethylene terephthalate (PTE), is a critical problem in today’s world. Recycling plastic waste to produce new materials like concrete or mortar is an effective disposal method. One such solution is adding plastic waste to bricks to create an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option to produce high-strength bricks with thermal and sound insulation properties. The study intends to investigate the feasibility of reusing plastic waste as a mixture in brick production as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional bricks. To compare the thermal performance of buildings made of plastic waste bricks and traditional bricks, the researchers digitally created four sample bricks, each containing 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% HDPE. The thermal performance of the brick-filled plastic bottle walls was then measured on-site at a real-time recording using a chamber and tested with the thermocouples connected to a data logger - T08 software. The results showed that 10% and 15% plastic waste brick composition had higher insulation properties with the difference between internal and external air temperature average of 6°C. The lower the external air temperature with the least amount of plastic waste recorded the lowest temperature difference average of 1°C. At the external temperature of 30°C, the 0% and 5% plastic waste bricks possessed the greater internal temperature, likely due to the external air temperature flow in the box’s confined space. Thus, further research and experimentation are recommended to investigate the thermal conductivity of plastic waste bricks and their correlation with the insulation properties of the material samples.Keywords: environment, construction, plastic waste, thermal performance

Diakóniai munka a II. világháború után közvetlenül, az államosítás időszakában és azt követően
Authors: Buda Annamária
Published: May 2024

A II. világháborút követően a Magyarországi Evangélikus Egyház is olyan társadalmi rendszer része lett, amelynek hivatalos ideológiája az ateizmus volt. A szocialista államrend megszilárdulása idején, 1945 és 1951 között a civil és egyházi egyesületeket feloszlatták. A reformáció hagyományaként addig a gyülekezetek, majd később diakonisszaegyesületek és egyéb egyesületek, alapítványok végezték a diakóniai munkát. A diakonisszaközösségek működésének betiltását követően az egyház megbízásából Sztehlo Gábor szervezte, felügyelte a diakóniai munkát. Az új helyzetben az egyház diakóniai szervezetének magját ő alakította ki és fogta össze. Sajátos egyházpolitikai utat járt be egyházunk, hogy az intézményeket megtarthassa, illetve a még működő civil szervezetektől átmentse a diakóniai tevékenységet.

Published: May 2024

The successful implementation of the Village Justice System (Katarungang Pambarangay) relies on the effectiveness, efficiency, creativity, and resourcefulness of Village Justice Committees. With the enactment of the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160), the authority to resolve community disputes was decentralized to the 42,025 villages nationwide. This study aimed to review and analyzed the implementation and performance of the Village Justice System in selected best perfoming villages of Southern Leyte Province. Specifically, it assessed the degree of law implementation, performance profile, significant relationships between variables, and the severity of problems. Employing both descriptive and inferential methods, the researcher selected top five best performing Village Justice Committees out of 500 in Southern Leyte, based on rankings provided by the DILG-Southern Leyte Provincial Office. The findings reveal excellent performance among the selected Village Justice Committees, demonstrated by high compliance with settlement procedures and deadlines, regular meetings, and quality case settlements. The study suggests a correlation between case settlement quality and committee performance in terms of adherence to procedures and meeting frequency. This exemplary performance is credited to the creative and resourceful approaches of committee members, utilizing best practices, innovative mediation techniques, robust communication strategies, and support system. However, there were problems due to lack of monetary remuneration and non-monetary incentive support as well as other administrative assistance given by Municipal/City Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)/ Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the Private Sector. A Development Action Plan is formulated to solve the problems.
Spiritual Tourism Associated with Buddhism in Tuyen Quang City
Authors: Thanh Thao Nguyen Thi
Published: May 2024

Buddhism, originating from the teachings of the Buddha, is a widely practiced religion with a rich history spanning over 2,500 years. Its propagation was facilitated by Indian monks who disseminated its principles across various regions. In Vietnam, Buddhism was introduced as early as the first century CE through diverse modes of transportation including waterways and overland routes. Throughout the vicissitudes of history, Buddhism has established deep-rooted connections with Vietnamese religious culture, reflecting shared values and beliefs. Even in contemporary society, Buddhism continues to hold significance for both adherents and non-adherents in Vietnam, serving as a viable avenue for moral education and spiritual fulfillment. Religious tourism in Vietnam often centers around pagodas, which serve as centers for Buddhist practice, education, and cultural preservation. These sacred sites not only provide a venue for spiritual development but also serve as repositories of intangible cultural heritage. In this context, temple visits, which involve paying homage to Buddha and engaging in spiritual contemplation, represent a form of spiritual tourism that resonates deeply with Vietnamese cultural identity.

Dichos profesionales, necesitan una formación de calidad, que les brinde la oportunidad de desenvolverse de la mejor manera en su campo laboral, por lo que ha sido vital que su casa de estudio enfoque todo su esfuerzo por brindarle una educación de calidad. En los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, el #4, nos resalta una educación de calidad, que ha sido una preocupación latente de todos los países, expresado en su agenda 2030.Cuando se habla de un producto o servicio de calidad, se refiere a que cumpla con los requisitos específicos de los clientes y las partes interesadas, trayendo consigo su plena satisfacción, que, al lograrse, la organización se vuelve mucho más competitiva en el mercado. Para alcanzar estos índices de calidad, es necesario implementar un sistema de gestión, que permita establecer controles con base a ellos tomar decisiones, que estén orientadas siempre en alcanzar la satisfacción del cliente, generando así un ciclo de mejora continua. Para abarcar este proceso de calidad, se cuenta con dos normas internacionales como son: la ISO9001:2015, donde establece los requisitos para implementar un sistema de calidad en una organización, y, la ISO21001:2018, inspirada en la norma antes mencionada, siendo la primera norma que establece los requisitos que deben cumplir una organización educativa que desee implementar un Sistema de Gestión de Calidad para Organizaciones Educativas, un SGOE.

Authors: TEPPA-GARRAN Pedro , Guzman Alejandro , Catapano Emilio
Published: May 2024

En este trabajo se propone un modelo formulado a través de un Proceso Analítico Jerárquico para estimar el valor de mercado de jugadores de futbol en la posición de delantero. El modelo consta de tres criterios: deportivos, personales y profesionales y cada uno de ellos se desglosa en un conjunto adicional de subcriterios. La contribución del trabajo es que integra el análisis ofrecido por el modelo, con técnicas de valoración de inmuebles adaptadas a los jugadores de fútbol, que a su vez incorporan en el análisis, el valor del contrato de un jugador de fútbol. El modelo desarrollado permite estimar el valor de mercado de un jugador, conocidos los resultados de un grupo de jugadores comparables ofrecidos por el modelo y sus valores de contrato. De esta manera es posible conocer no solo el desempeño integral del jugador en base a los criterios y subcriterios del modelo, sino determinar cuándo un jugador estuvo subvalorado o sobrevalorado al comparar lo que fue el análisis de su desempeño integral en el marco de un conjunto de jugadores comparables, con el valor de su contrato. La metodología fue aplicada a dos jugadores emblemáticos contemporáneos: Lionel Messi y Cristiano Ronaldo durante los nueve años que coincidieron en la liga profesional de fútbol español.
