Interpreting, mediation and mediation in multilingual Basel Dealing with diversity and foreign language skills - survey among leaders of public institutions
Authors: Bischoff Alexander , Dahinden Janine
Published: August 2023

As European countries become more diverse, so do the client populations in public institutions. Switzerland has, like all modern societies, been affected by major cultural and social changes, characterised by a pluralisation of lifestyles, ways of life, languages and value systems. For Swiss society as a whole and for its public institutions, this raises questions about how this pluralistic society can be held together and, more specifically, how the integration of members of immigrant groups can be supported. Integration is to be understood here as the creation of an institutional framework for social pluralism and the establishment of equal rights and non-discrimination. In practical terms, this means that everyone living in Switzerland should have equal access to the services of public institutions and that the services that these institutions offer should take into account the needs of different communities. One instrument that can contribute effectively to the inclusion of immigrant communities is intercultural mediation. By this we include three forms of mediation: linguistic mediation (interpreting), cultural mediation and conflict mediation. How do public institutions deal with diversity characterised by migration and foreign languages? Basel, one of the larger Swiss cities, is a case in point. With a high proportion of foreigners among the resident population (31%), Basel’s public institutions have been dealing with the increasing diversity of their clientele in different ways. One of them is the use of interpreters, cultural mediators and conflict mediators.

Identity and health in transcultural mediation: The Model of Culture-Synergetic Transcultural Mediation and its Impacts
Authors: Mayer Claude-Hélène
Published: August 2023

Over the past decades, interest in the field of conflict research has developed worldwide. A broad range of literature evaluates conflicts as stressors with negative health effects. Particularly in transcultural situations conflict parties experience stress due to the lack of transcultural understanding, differences in value-orientations and culture-specific attitude and behaviour. This article introduces the model of "Culture-Synergetic Transcultural Mediation" (CSTM), which is based on transformative mediation philosophy and promotes culture-synergetic processes in conflict situations. These processes aim at transforming personal, relationship-based, structural and cultural identities. They particularly integrate the concept of identity and salutogenesis as important aspects in conflict transformation. The article presents the dynamic interrelationship of CSTM, transcultural identities and salutogenetic aspects in transcultural conflict situations.
Values, Cultural Identity and Communication: A Perspective From Philosophy of Language
Authors: Nordby Halvor
Published: August 2023

Problems of communication in intercultural dialogue typically arise when the communicators understand concepts of meaning and identity in strikingly different ways. This article employs influential assumptions in modern philosophy of language to discuss fundamental aspects of these problems. Drawing on a distinction between beliefs and values, it is argued that intercultural communication typically fails when communicators have different values and do not acknowledge that culturally shaped values are different from beliefs and thoughts. Within a hermeneutical approach to understanding, it is explained how an understanding of the nature of values can help secure successful intercultural communication. Cases of cultural conflict are used to clarify this and other practical implications of the philosophical analyses that are developed.
The Cantonese apology style for personal offences in native and second languages in electronic communication
Authors: Lee Cynthia
Published: August 2023

The paper examines Cantonese tertiary students’ email apology style for personal offences to teachers in their native language (L1, Cantonese) and second language (L2, English) learnt at school by testifying three hypotheses. Firstly, the Cantonese students’ L1 and L2 apologies are always multi-componential, with at least two parts in one apology email, in spite of the fact that there is no statistically significant difference between Cantonese and English strategies and patterns. Secondly, in terms of linguistic devices, they adopt a consistent linguistic choice in both languages by means of using the low or mid degree of apologetic verbs to express their regret. Thirdly, the expressions of I’m sorry and deoi3 bat1 hei3 not only express regret but also initiate and prepare for the upcoming actions. It is argued that Cantonese students generally tend to adopt a multi-componential apology style in either language, and the use of low degree of apologetic verbs may be influenced by the nature of the offence and the students’ interpretation of the seriousness of the offence. The findings have provided a better understanding of Chinese apology style, with particular reference to Cantonese, for personal offences and corresponding linguistic devices in a specific medium and a specific communicative situation.
An Exploratory Investigation of Asian Students’ Sense of Dignity in a Non-native English Language Learning Context
Authors: Tananuraksakul Noparat
Published: August 2023

This paper explores how learning English affects Asian students’ sense of dignity in an Australian social environment, and how they deal with negative encounters at school, at work and at public places. The research methodology used was in-depth interviews with seven postgraduate international students from six different countries in Asia and a convenient snowball sampling. Regardless of the non-native students’ English proficiency test results, they all encountered language and cultural obstacles during their transition to the Australian social environment. Their prior motivation and attitudes vis-à-vis English language learning in their homeland positively impacted on their responses to those obstacles. Such obstacles affected their well-being and sense of dignity negatively because mastering English is seen as an accomplishment.
The Influence of Confucianism and Buddhism on Chinese Business
Authors: Li Tian bo , Moreira Gillian Owen
Published: August 2023

This paper addresses the influence of Confucianism and Buddhism on Chinese business against the background of China´s economic integration into the world. Considering the relationship between Confucianism, Buddhism and business from an intercultural perspective in the context of economic and cultural globalization, we present some modern Chinese business people, including some overseas Chinese, who behave in accordance with Confucianism, pray to Bodhisattva for safety and wealth, and donate to the temple. Reasons for these phenomena are analyzed and the role of harmony emphasized by Confucianism and Buddhism is taken into account. On the one hand, we find that silence, connections (guanxi, ??), tolerance and harmony are emphasized in the Chinese business community; on the other hand, the relationship between religions, overseas Chinese merchants and their business culture is explored. Concrete data is taken from our survey in 59 international companies in China, carried out in 2007. The influence of Confucianism and Buddhism on business is analyzed through my practical experience in the Chinese community in Portugal.

Between English Humour and National Stereotypes – Translating Stephen Clarke’s Novel Merde Happens into Italian
Authors: Fusari Sabrina
Published: August 2023

This paper discusses translation of texts about nonprofit organizations from English into Italian as a case study of intercultural communication. Firstly, we note the importance of adaptation as a valuable strategy for translation of nonprofit texts from English into Italian. Secondly, we describe the intercultural difference between the nonprofit sector in Italy and the United States in terms of paradigms, following Kuhn’s theory of interparadigmatic translation and Gramsci’s idea of translatability. Thirdly, we show the connection between these epistemological frameworks of translation and interlinguistic translation by selecting a number of keywords in the language of American philanthropy which do not have a direct equivalent in Italian, or whose equivalent may prove to be a "false friend" if translated literally (stewardship, philanthropy, charity): we show that despite the alleged "incommensurability" between Italian and American philanthropy, translation is still possible, and we suggest practical strategies that translators may adopt.
An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Joint ACLA/ AAAL Conference in Montréal (Canada) in June 2006.

Witnesses of Wealth.Development Workers, Intercultural Communication and Norwegian National Identity
Authors: Fretheim Kjetil
Published: August 2023

In this article the broader topic of communication and identity is addressed through a discussion of intercultural involvement and national identity in the case of Norway. The main research question is how Norwegian expatriate development workers discursively sustain, challenge and (re)construct Norwegian national identity. Discussing this I draw on material from a recent study where I interviewed twenty-three development workers (). In the analysis I identify three main types of contributions development workers make to the construction of a Norwegian national identity and label them according to three priestly roles: the prophet who criticises the powerful, the counsellor who comforts and strengthens his flock, or the priest as a unifying symbol of the group.
Communicative challenges in multinational project work:Obstacles and tools for reaching common understandings
Authors: Stier Jonas , Kjellin Margareta Sandström
Published: August 2023

Focus of this article is communicative challenges in multinational project work as well as how such challenges can be managed. By analyzing their communication in so called reflective dialogues and email correspondence the discussion sheds light upon how the participants of one such project talk about the meaning and pedagogical fruitfulness of horizontal classroom dialogue, and the degree to which they themselves actually communicate in a horizontal fashion within the project group.Drawing upon the discourse on classroom communication and intercultural communication data was subject to a qualitative analysis. Among other things, different aspects of horizontality in the dialogues were discerned but no significant differences in terms of indexicality were found. It was also shown that variations in the degree of horizontality-verticality in the dialogues and email correspondence may originate in different views on gender, project management and relationships between colleagues.Moreover, it was shown how reflective dialogues can be a useful tool for arriving at a common conceptual framework within a crossnational collaborative project. This said, the results can presumably be transferred to multicultural, and monocultural classrooms, to teacher teams analyzing problematic (or successful!) learning situations before ’taking measures’, or in order to raise teachers’ intercultural awareness.

Published: August 2023

Sickle cell disease and its variants constitute the most common inherited blood disorders affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Significant information regarding the nature of the genetic mutations and modifier genes that result in increased or decreased severity of the disease are available. In recent years, detailed data regarding molecular genetics, pathophysiology, mechanisms for the development of symptoms and side effects of sickle cell disease have been published. The relationship of physiological changes, cellular interactions, coexisting coagulation disorders, effects of association with other genetic disorders and a number of intervening factors have been explored. New techniques for pre-conception, prenatal, in utero, and neonatal screening are available. Means for prediction of the severity of the disease, clinical course of the disorder, and prevention of some of its major complications have been developed. The effects of psychosocial and environmental factors have been explored. Various therapeutic strategies including bone marrow and stem cell transplantation are currently employed in the treatment of patients with sickle cell disease. Recent progress in understanding the molecular pathways controlling mammalian erythropoiesis and globin switching, as well as advances in genome engineering, particularly the gene-editing techniques, have opened a venue for genetic-based treatment of the disease. Currently, sickle cell disease is often associated with a high rate of complications and mortality. The development of new pharmacological agents, methods for gene therapy, and alterations and modification of the coexisting genetic factors and modifiers for treatment of the disease are encouraging.
Paranormal Belief Among College Students and Elderly People: A Comparative Study
Authors: - Arna Biswas
Published: August 2023

This is a comparative study conducted for assessing the prevalence of paranormal belief among college students and elderly people, and for identifying if paranormal belief increases with increasing age. This study was conducted on two groups: college students and elderly people. The sample included 50 college students aged 20–25 years and 50 elderly persons aged 40–65 years. The study was conducted using the Revised Paranormal Belief Scale which was developed by Tobacyk in 2004. The study compared the paranormal beliefs of college students with those of elderly people to determine the relationship between paranormal beliefs and age. The study findings revealed that due to the negative correlation between both variables, elderly people and age, hypothesis 1 is rejected. Hypothesis 2 has a non-significant result in six sub-domains between two variables (elderly and college students), indicating that the elderly population will have higher levels of paranormal beliefs in the individual sub-domains of the scale than their younger counterparts. Hypothesis 2 was rejected in one sub-domain (extraordinary life forms) because it yielded a significant result in the study.

Millets as a Novel Solution for PCOS Management: a Review
Authors: - Pratiksha jadhav , - Vijayalaxmi Naganuri , - Lingayya Hiremath
Published: August 2023

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting reproductive-aged women worldwide. It is characterized by hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, ovarian dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances, leading to various symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, excessive hair growth, acne, and obesity. The management of PCOS typically involves lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, exercise, and medication. In recent years, there has been growing interest in exploring alternative dietary solutions to complement traditional approaches for PCOS management.
Millets, a group of small-seeded grains, have gained attention as a novel dietary option for PCOS due to their unique nutritional composition and health benefits. This comprehensive report reviews the existing literature on the potential mechanisms by which millets can benefit individuals with PCOS. Millets have been found to positively impact glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and hormonal balance, which are crucial factors in PCOS pathophysiology. The low glycemic index and high fiber content of millets contribute to better blood sugar regulation, reducing insulin resistance and supporting weight management.
Moreover, millets offer a sustainable and accessible solution for PCOS management, promoting better dietary adherence and overall health outcomes. This report also highlights the limitations and challenges in incorporating millets into the PCOS diet, such as limited awareness, availability of millet-based products, and the need for further research through clinical trials.
To optimize the utilization of millets as a dietary intervention for PCOS, community education and awareness programs are recommended, aiming to increase public knowledge and promote the adoption of millet-based diets. Furthermore, the report discusses the role of technological advancements in the food industry in creating a diverse range of millet-based food options that cater to individual preferences and dietary needs.

Authors: - Dr. Lindita Kiri , - Dr. Ledia Sula
Published: August 2023

The problematic urban sprawl has become a widespread phenomenon and a global problem, this is the reason why this research was done, to elaborate on a global problem that has also appeared in our country. A phenomenon that has more influenced the expansion of the main cities or capitals by creating industrial areas and residential areas far from the main city center. This uncontrolled urban expansion is a concern across the globe, because it has many negative effects such as: social, environmental and economic effects. According to these effects or impacts, sprawl without criteria demonstrates a threat to sustainable urban development, because it has an effect on the high consumption of land, energy and water and, above all, increases air pollution and the amount of waste. There are many factors that are affecting the growth of urban problems, but one of the main factors that dominates this trend is the migration of the population from undeveloped areas to developed urban areas, economic development, bad government policies. Tirana, the largest urban area in Albania, is the area most threatened by uncontrolled urban expansion in our country. This threat has taken off in recent years, turning into a very serious problem that needs to be analyzed and find ways to prevent this very negative phenomenon for the country. The best way to prevent uncontrolled urban expansion is proper urban planning, urban development and overcoming the consequences during rapid urban development. So the best solution to overcome uncontrolled urban sprawl is the development of sustainable urban forms, to achieve the development of a contemporary city.

English Through Newspapers: A Note
Abstract: It is indubitable that English language enjoys the most favoured status across the world. But, the process of learning English language has been dwarfed by various factors in a non-native country like India. Extracting the sweetness of the English language has been a hard nut to crack for millions of people in many countries where English is learnt and taught as a second language. India is no exception. Learners and teachers are found in extreme duress, especially in rural schools in India. Learners are in a quandary regarding the modes of learning English language as various perplexing modes are suggested by the stake holders and policy makers.
But the process of learning turns a bit easier for those who have passion for it. The mastery of eminent scholars of English language and literature are an epitome of the innovative practices they adopted for learning. But novelty and innovation are always a welcome sign in learning the English language. It is irrefutable that learning the English language is not deterrent to the determined. Fear and tension among the learners can be invalidated through a right approach. Initially, the road to learning should be stress-free. If we dispense with the obsolete modes, sailing with the tide of learning converts to a hassle-free one. Tiding over the process of acquiring the English language is no longer an arduous task. Being impervious to innovative mode of teaching and learning is the major obstacle for acquiring mastery over the language. A surface study of the existing situation in all educational institutions exemplifies that every method, not to mention the name, will help acquire language. It is tested and proved that regular reading of the English newspapers will certainly help improve one’s English language. Whether it be reading skill or writing skill, English newspaper is a powerful vehicle in learning English language. This paper is an attempt to show how English newspaper helps in developing the skills of English language.

Partition of India: A Brief Discussion on Mahatma Gandhi Vs Muhammud Ali Jinnah, the Debate over Partition

The aim of the researcher is to deal with “ Partition of India :Mahatma Gandhi vs Muhammad Ali Jinnah the debate over partition”. It also emphasis from where the idea of a partition emerged . As well as who is responsible for the partition of India . Further it provide the information about the important leaders who play a vital role during the time of partition .As well as I also deals with the party whose existence play a important role. It also deals with acts they are as ‘Regulating Act’, Independence Act and Partition of Bengal from where the first partition of India started. As a researcher I try to find the circumstances which made the condition possible for partition . Moreover I also deals with the causes which play a crucial role during the time of partition. After these how Muslim League Party emerged , and how Mohmmad Ali Jinha started to arise his demand for separate states . The Gandhi-Jinnah debate involved a clash between two important personalities of the twentieth century. But it also personified the tensions between two major ideological systems, Hinduism and Islam. It is my conviction that anyone concerned with the issues of world peace and intercultural communication can profit from studying the developments within India in the 1940s. In combining the methods of the historian and rhetorical critic, I have sought to interpret the Partition debate as fairly and objectively as possible. One should not minimize the deep-seated misgivings of Indian Muslims faced with the threat of permanent discrimination by a frequently insensitive and occasionally hostile Hindu majority. At the same time, one must recognize that ultimately Partition was motivated more by politics than theology, and that it not only failed to resolve, but in many ways intensified, the problems of religious and cultural pluralism on the subcontinent.

Gamma-delta [γδ] T cells are a significant subset of T cells with ability to recognize many antigens without the guidance of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. A lot of studies have been conducted on them ever since they were discovered 36 years ago. Advances have been made about their structure and function. Thus, there is a need for an up-to-date review about their significance as well as their roles in Multiple Sclerosis. The study aimed to provide an up-to-date knowledge concerning gamma delta T cells in pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A systematic review methodology was used to scope information from recent studies about gamma delta T cells. The review was carried out in PubMed database and it followed the PRISMA guidelines. The computerized review yielded 60 peer-reviewed articles published between 2011 and 2020. The results showed that gamma delta cells play a critical role in protection against infections and the fight against malignant cells. Most of the reviewed studies highlighted recent advances in research. It was noted that the subset of T cells plays a role in pathogenesis of MS. Several studies have highlighted the protective and detrimental effects of γδ T cells. On the one hand, the cells contribute to the pathogenesis of MS, while, on the other hand, they also help in immunoregulation. However, there is a dearth of literature on their specific role and their mechanism of action. Therefore, further studies are needed about γδ T cells in both human and animal model studies. Based on the findings of the reviewed studies, there is great promise in the use of γδ T cells for MS immunotherapy
