Authorised translation in Finland is constantly evolving due to factors such as increased immigration and emigration, and changing regulations. This steady change calls for continual research on the topic. In this study, we first investigate the most common text types and language pairs that are present in authorised translation in Finland in 2019 and then examine the use of the recently reformed instructions for authorised translators (SKTL 2018). The study is based on a survey that was conducted jointly at Tampere University and at the University of Turku in the form of an electronic questionnaire addressed to all authorised translators in Finland, resulting in 122 responses. The study provides up-to-date information on the authorised translation praxis in Finland as well as useful insight for the planning of further education for Finnish authorised translators.
Valintaverkkoanalyysi konekäännöksen jälkieditoinnin tarkastelun apuna

This paper presents an application of Choice Network Analysis (CNA; proposed by Stuart Campbell in 2000) to analyse Machine Translation (MT) post-editing (PE) data. The data were collected from 33 translation students in a PE experiment where the students post-edited a text machine translated from English to Finnish. The text was a combination of neural (NMT), rule-based (RBMT) and statistical machine translation (SMT) output.
CNA has been presented as a method for collecting data on the mental process of translating (or post-editing), to be used either instead of or in addition to experimental process studies. The method consists of collecting translations of the same text from different translators and building a network of the different options they have used to translate a particular item. The basic assumption is that when an item is translated in the same or a similar way, it requires less cognitive effort than an item that produced several different translations.
In this paper, we use CNA to analyse a subset of the PE data, items that are repeated in the post-edited text, to compare differences both between editors and between MT engines. We also discuss two different approaches to presenting the choice networks.
Identifying (indirect) translations and their source languages in the Finnish National Bibliography Fennica
Authors: Ivaska Laura
Published: May 2024

Containing information on translations, bibliographies like Fennica, the Finnish National Bibliography, offer a great basis for translation studies research. However, the metadata on translations' source languages/texts is often wanting. In this article, I discuss reasons for this and suggest how bibliographical metadata could be made more reliable. This article builds upon a case study in which the (indirect) Finnish translations of Modern Greek novels and their (mediating) source languages are determined. A list of translations and information on their source languages/texts is retrieved from Fennica. Then, the list is compared with other bibliographies to make sure it is complete, and paratextual material is analyzed to ascertain the (mediating) source languages of the translations. The study shows that the information on the (mediating) source languages/texts in Fennica may be incorrect because there are coding errors in the metadata, or incomplete or missing because the books themselves have inaccurate title/copyright page information. Also, the mediating languages are reported in the bibliography in an inconsistent manner. The situation could be ameliorated by standardizing title/copyright page information, by using a specific field for the language of the mediating translation in the metadata format, and by collectively gathering and implementing amendments into the metadata.
The impact of ChatGPT on foreign language teaching and learning: opportunities in education and research
Authors: Hong Wilson Cheong Hin
Published: May 2024

The revolutionary online application ChatGPT has brought immense concerns to the education field. Foreign language teachers being some of those most reliant on writing assessments were among the most anxious, exacerbated by the extensive media coverage about the much-fantasised functionality of the chatbot. Hence, the article starts by elucidating the mechanisms, functions and common misconceptions about ChatGPT. Issues and risks associated with its usage are discussed, followed by an in-depth discussion of how the chatbot can be harnessed by learners and teachers. It is argued that ChatGPT offers major opportunities for teachers and education institutes to improve second/foreign language teaching, which similarly provided researchers with an array of research opportunities, especially towards a more personalised learning experience.

Vlogging: An Alternative to Role-play in Improving EFL Learners' Conversation Skills
Authors: Hyeon Choi Seong , Sinwongsuwat Kemtong
Published: May 2024

Technology-enhanced language learning, or TELL, has played a major role in boosting EFL learners’ speaking skills in recent years. The use of online technological methods such as vlogging and uploading videos to popular social networks such as YouTube, in particular, has been recommended as a tool to hone students' conversation skills in addition to providing ubiquitous role-play practice. This study, therefore, aims to examine the effectiveness of multiple-party YouTube vlogging with the effectiveness of role-play when it comes to improving EFL learners’ conversation skills. Seventy-six Thai undergraduates taking an English conversation course were engaged in five role-play and five vlogging lessons before and after the midterm for the purpose of improving their English-speaking skills. The students were additionally assessed by the pre-, post- roleplay and vlogging teaching interviews for their speaking performance. A comparative analysis was conducted on the score sets derived from the three distinct interviews, and the scores obtained from participants' weekly role-play assignments were compared with those from their weekly vlogging. The results showed a significant improvement in the students’ confidence and content expression despite some challenges of the vlogging method. Further research can explore the alternative use of vlogging in other areas of English language skill improvement.

Lelki élmények jelentősége az elfogyó keresztény gyülekezetek megmaradásában
Authors: Thuránszky István
Published: May 2024

A Máté evangéliumában olvasott történetben Jézus a tengeren járva a hajóban ellenszéllel küzdő tanítványaihoz megy, majd kiszólítja Pétert a vízre, megmutatva nekik a fizikai világ törvényszerűségeit meghaladó hatalmát. Az élet határhelyzeteiben egyes emberek által átélt lelki élmények nem egyeztethetők össze a fizikai világ rendjével. Ezek az élmények arról győzik meg az érintettet, hogy van egy hatalom, amely a testi élet és a fizikai világ hétköznapi rendje felett áll. Ez a sokak által megtapasztalt, érzékelhető valóság feletti valóság a krisztusi üzenetnek és ennélfogva a keresztény gyülekezet életének is lényeges eleme. Az élet tengerén az egyház hajójának és utasainak útját néha a „vízen járáshoz” hasonló lelki élmények színesítik és hitelesítik. Ezek a dolgozatban említett lelki élmények arról győzhetik meg az olvasót, hogy az egyház hajójának útját az élet viharainál nagyobb erők kísérik, és azzal biztatják, hogy hajótörés nélkül célba ér. Minden „vízen járás”, akár mi tapasztaljuk meg azt, akár mások tesznek arról tanúságot, a hajóban ülők biztonságérzetét és a célba érés reményét erősíti. Így válhat a gyülekezet a bátor és bizakodó utazók együtt hajózásra hívogató eszközévé és környezetévé.

Rural Micro-Entrepreneurs' Experiences Coping with the Pandemic in Nigeria
Authors: B Owoeye Ayodeji
Published: May 2024

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a substantial impact on Nigeria's micro, small, and medium-sized companies (MSMEs), disrupting economic activities. The combination of limited travel, the necessity to maintain physical distance, and varying degrees of community lockdown and quarantine has resulted in economic stagnation for these firms. This qualitative study looked at how rural entrepreneurs deal with the epidemic while going about their everyday business. Data demonstrate that rural entrepreneurs are anxious about their health and financial situation. Spirituality and inventive marketing methods were used to ameliorate the pandemic's negative consequences. Rural entrepreneurs resorted to survival attempts despite the government's cash aid and food relief packages. This paper improves government interventions by suggesting new remedies and laws. It also seeks to increase access to government relief programmes for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), particularly those that are informal and unregistered. The report also recommends the implementation of information technology (IT) solutions.

Back to the Future? The Evolution of European Social Citizenship through the Lens of Citations
Authors: Constantinou Eftychia
Published: May 2024

In the aftermath of the Dano judgment, the scholarship unanimously identified a jurisprudential shift towards a more restrictive interpretation of European citizenship, leading to the refusal of social assistance. Yet, the extent to which the observed shift in the approach of the Court of Justice of the European Union (the Court) permanently redirected the trajectory of European social citizenship remains understudied. The emphasis placed on contextual causes hints at a possible return to the earlier approach if the political climate becomes more conducive to the development of European social citizenship. This article empirically revisits the Court’s citizenship jurisprudence from a novel perspective, that of citations. The research question seeks to determine if there is a fundamental shift in the reference frame of citizenship judgments and the extent to which the Court’s restrictive approach, observed in the 2010s, persists in recent judgments. All citizenship judgments delivered until October 2023 are examined by combining network and legal analysis. The findings reveal a fundamental and potentially strategic shift in the reference frame of citizenship judgments delivered from 2016 onwards compared to judgments delivered before. Crucially, despite the revival of social Europe in recent years, the Court has not returned to its pre-Dano approach.

Authors: Joaquim Pinto  , Yenny Puspitasari
Published: May 2024

This study aims to analyze the role and contribution of families in the implementation of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) and the impact of family participation on child health outcomes. In addition, this study also identified factors that support or hinder family participation in the IMCI program. The method used was a systematic literature review of various published studies. The method used is a systematic literature review with the main data source of 15 previous studies on the theme to be examined in this study so that the data makes a new finding. The main findings of this study show that family education, social and community support, health policies, and family experiences and perceptions of IMCI are important themes that influence the successful implementation of IMCI. Effective education of families improves their understanding and skills in managing childhood illnesses, while support from health workers and the community can increase family participation in IMCI programs. Supportive health policies and appropriate interventions also play an important role in ensuring the program's effectiveness. However, lack of motivation and adequate information from health workers can be barriers to family participation. This study confirms the importance of active family participation in IMCI implementation to improve child health outcomes. Recommendations for further research include evaluation of the most effective educational methods, the influence of technology in supporting IMCI, and longitudinal studies to monitor the long-term impact of family participation. From a health policy perspective, improved training for health workers, strengthened social and community support networks, and improved accessibility of health information through various media are suggested to support better implementation of IMCI programs.
GRACE AND REDEMPTION: EXPLORING DEATH IN FLANNERY O’CONNOR’S 'A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND
Authors:   FUUAST, Hashim Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Introduction: This paper aims to analyze Flannery O’Connor’s stories as recurring narratives where sickness transforms ordinary people into virtuous individuals. Sickness, in O’Connor’s works, is portrayed as a blessing, a perspective the author herself endorsed. This study examines O’Connor’s personal battle with the disease that ultimately claimed her life to support this view. Methodology: Contrary to the common critical descriptors of O’Connor’s work such as Southern, Catholic, or Grotesque this paper adopts a systematic approach. This method does not simplify her work but rather enriches its complexity and depth. Results/Findings: Through a detailed analysis of O’Connor’s short stories, the paper reveals her unique personal theology. Despite the grim scenarios depicted in her tales, filled with violence and despair O’Connor's underlying message is one of profound optimism. Her writing illustrates that redemption and revelation are closely tied to an awareness of mortality, which sickness uniquely brings. Future Direction: O’Connor’s work suggests that true transformation and spiritual enlightenment come through the acknowledgment of death's inevitability, a realization often catalyzed by illness. Future research could further explore the relationship between suffering and redemption in her narratives, offering deeper insights into her theological perspective and its broader implications.

The Role of English Language Teaching in Promoting Intercultural Understanding in Pakistani Classrooms
Authors:   SZABIST, Sultana Zehara
Published: May 2024

Introduction: English language teaching (ELT) is essential for linguistic growth and building cross-cultural understanding in Pakistani classrooms. Given the multicultural makeup of Pakistan and the importance of English worldwide, it is critical to consider how ELT might advance intercultural understanding. Research Methodology: This study emphasizes the value of this method in the Pakistani context by examining how Pakistani EFL teachers see "interculturality" as a pedagogical strategy in teaching English as a foreign language through descriptive and inferential analysis. Findings: According to the findings, English language instruction plays various roles in Pakistani classrooms that support intercultural understanding. Examining various cultures, dispelling myths, and encouraging tolerance and empathy in students are all made possible by language training. Furthermore, teachers utilize various instructional approaches, including literature exploration and cultural exchange activities, to improve students' intercultural competency. Conclusion: English language instruction fosters empathy and meaningful connections between students from different cultural origins, essential for advancing intercultural understanding in Pakistani classrooms. Unfortunately, obstacles to successful implementation include language imperialism and scarce resources. To maximize the potential of ELT for fostering intercultural understanding in Pakistan, educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers must work together. Recommendation: Given the results, educational stakeholders are urged to prioritize intercultural integration while creating English language courses. This can be accomplished with teacher education programs, culturally aware lesson planning, and the inclusion of diverse opinions in class discussions. Furthermore, forming partnerships with international schools can open doors for cross-cultural exchanges and improve the educational opportunities for Pakistani pupils. By implementing the above recommendations, Pakistan can effectively use English language training to promote cross-cultural understanding and enhance global citizenship.

Light or easily made target texts. The methods of Swedish schlager translationSchlager was used as a term for songs on the Swedish popular music market from the 1920s and on. Coincidentally, song translation practices developed that varied rather seamlessly between liberty and fidelity. Nevertheless, based on an extensive corpus of Swedish target song lyrics, released 1916–2011, I identify and name six roughly distinguishable text methods: near-enough translation, perspective-shift translation, hook transposition, single-phrase spinoff, phonetic calque, and all-new target song lyrics. Examining the chronological distribution of the variation, most exploration of the experimental middle ground was found in the 1960s and 1970s. One decisive factor may be increased tailoring of lyrics for specific performers or venues. From the 1980s and on, changing circumstances seem to have made imported music released with Swedish lyrics less prevalent on the market, but widely variable song translation methods continue to be practiced in later decades too.

Konflik Perebutan Lahan Kereta Api: Dilema Penguasaan Aset Negara Pasca Nasionalisasi
Authors: Wardojo Waskito Widi
Published: May 2024

This research explains the conflict over railway land and the dilemma of controlling state assets after nationalization. The research results show that there is a gap in understanding between the state and society regarding the history of land ownership. There is a perception that if land has been used for more than a few years, it can be transferred to individual ownership. In several cases, in big cities such as Medan, Bandung, and Jakarta, there is a tendency to involve the business interests of certain individuals or communities with strong capital. This indicates that in the case of the second classification, the state is challenged by capitalist forces with a pure profit orientation, while the public interest and public social services tend to be ignored. The emergence and strengthening of regional institutions as a result of growing autonomy in government also has the potential for conflicts of interest with PT. KAI regarding ownership of its assets. In this case, it is not surprising that a dispute involving the two of them becomes a conflict of interest between the central and regional governments.
Leaving a Legacy Through Conferences and Exhibitions: The Enduring Value of Repeat and Globally – Rotating Events in Vancouver, British Columbia
Authors: Wahl Jeff , Walker Kara
Published: May 2024

Conferences and exhibitions are important events that are associated with a range of positive impacts for attendees and other stakeholders on different scales. However, recent external disruptions such as COVID-19 and other global environmental and economic uncertainties have led to an increase in virtual and hybrid meetings. As virtual and hybrid events have increased, the ongoing value of in-person conferences and exhibitions has become less clear. This study explores the short-term outcomes and long-term legacies of five national and international conferences held in person at the Vancouver Convention Center, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 2022. The study also compares the outcomes of conferences that return to the destination annually and those that rotate globally. The analytical framework is informed by the outcome and legacy approach developed by the BestCities Global Alliance, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The study identifies 47 short-term outcomes and 17 long-term legacies; affirming the value of in-person conferences and conventions. Key outcomes for returning and globally rotating conferences are also identified, as well as suggestions to guide the management and study of conference outcomes and legacies in other contexts.
The Copenhagen Legacy Lab Strategic Approach
Authors: Reventlow – Mourier Bettina
Published: May 2024

This article represents Copenhagen Legacy Lab’s (CLL) strategic approach towards creating positive outcomes and long-term impacts from congresses and events. The website of CLL is an open-source platform for associations and industry professionals that showcases methods, tools, and materials including digital testimonials and case studies supporting prioritized strongholds of Copenhagen (‘Green Transition’, ‘Life Science, and IT Communications and Technology’). This article presents a case from all three strongholds that have applied CLL’s strategic and systematic approach towards legacy building. The aim of the approach is to identify a shared objective and inspire congresses and events to develop and commit to activities that potentially leave positive outcomes and long-term impacts. The activities will be evaluated based on inspiration from the Theory of Change and the EU Commission’s approach towards ‘Social Impact Measurement’.
Book Review: Business Event Legacies
Authors: Delaney Emma
Published: May 2024

Despite the significance of the MICE industry to most global economies, and the high number of related degrees, literature that focuses specifically on business events remains scant. There is a substantial need for pedagogic resources that support the study of business tourism, and for robust research that can influence policymakers in this field. As such, Business Event Legacies provides a timely and welcome addition to a small but growing body of knowledge in this domain. Carmel Foley, Deborah Edwards and Karin Weber will be familiar names to anyone who has studied business tourism and their combined prior research in this area confirms them as subject specialists and respected authors.
Em defesa do constitucionalismo: uma resposta hermenêutica a Martin Loughlin
Authors: Rebelo Victor Bianchini
Published: May 2024

O artigo elabora uma resposta à obra Against Constitutionalism, inédita no Brasil, de autoria do professor britânico Martin Loughlin. Divide-se essa resposta em três partes: na primeira, questiona-se a premissa do autor quanto à real diferença entre constitucionalismo e democracia/governo constitucional; na segunda, objeta-se a narrativa do autor quanto ao desenvolvimento do constitucionalismo ter como base apenas fundamentos neoliberais, mesmo com o constitucionalismo sendo visto como uma doutrina plural que, apesar de suas raízes liberais, desenvolveu-se de diferentes formas; na terceira, critica se a maneira como Loughlin conceitua sistemicamente o constitucionalismo como uma ideologia (definição da qual discordamos) e como o autor superestima a influência do constitucionalismo nos fenômenos recentes de globalização nas cortes constitucionais e nos organismos internacionais. Por fim, conclui que o autor, apesar de escrever um livro com fôlego teórico e com amplo referencial bibliográfico, acaba por não oferecer uma alternativa ao constitucionalismo, subestimando as características positivas do fenômeno, ao mesmo tempo que superestima as negativas.

Bezimienny grób kapłana na Cmentarzu Komunalnym w Pile – zidentyfikowanie miejsca pochówku ks. Franza Westpfahla
Authors:   Wydział Historii i Dziedzictwa Kulturowego Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie – doktorant, Kubicki Karol
Published: May 2024

Na Cmentarzu Komunalnym w Pile przy ulicy Motylewskiej znajduje się bezimienny grób z napisem informującym, że spoczywa w nim kapłan. Na stosunkowo młodej nekropolii, założonej dopiero w 1964 r., niezidentyfikowane mogiły należą do rzadkości, tym bardziej zatem dziwi fakt istnienia anonimowego grobu kryjącego w sobie szczątki osoby duchownej. Kwerenda przeprowadzona w dokumentacji Biura Administracji Cmentarza Komunalnego w Pile oraz w archiwum Urzędu Miasta Piły pozwoliła na bezsprzeczne ustalenie, że wspomniany grób jest miejscem pochówku ks. Franza Westpfahla, kapłana prałatury pilskiej, zmarłego we wrześniu 1931 r. i pochowanego na nieistniejącym już cmentarzu przy alei Wojska Polskiego w Pile. W trakcie likwidacji tej nekropolii jego szczątki zostały w marcu 1976 r. ekshumowane i ponownie pochowane na nowym cmentarzu przy ulicy Motylewskiej, w nieoznaczonym imieniem i nazwiskiem grobie.

Published: May 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza prawnej sytuacji Bractwa Kapłańskiego św. Piusa X założonego przez abpa Marcela Lefebvre’a. Aktywne działania duszpasterskie Bractwa w różnych regionach świata, a szczególnie w polskich diecezjach, skłaniają do właściwego rozeznania ku pożytkowi wiernych świeckich, czym ta wspólnota jest i czy ma całkowitą jedność z Biskupem Rzymu. Chronologicznie opisane wydarzenia pomagają ukazać całość problematyki związanej z Bractwem i jego obecnym statusem prawnym w Kościele.

Administrative rural proofing for territories with demographic challenges
Authors: Carbajo Cascón Fernando , Domínguez Álvarez José Luis , Fernando Pablo Marcos M. , Rodríguez Peña Nora Libertad , Rodríguez Sánchez Alicia , Talavera Cordero Pilar , Terrón Santos Daniel
Published: May 2024

Since the issue of the abandonment of rural territories has been reintroduced into the agenda of national and European public policies, decisions and rules have been made with an aim that seem to be leading to an entrenchment of the conflict between the interests of the population that remains in the forgotten areas and the interests of other policies that are strongly anchored in long-term strategies. The rules in which these strategic decisions are translated clash with territories and communities on which a decrease or a set of rules is imposed that makes it impossible for traditional activities to develop and adapt to the new times. In this context, the citizens of remote (or, in popular Spanish terminology, ‘empty’) areas, who observe how other interests prevail over their demands, are confronted with a tide of ‘alien’ rules, imposed, experienced as ‘impositions’ that necessarily generate conflict, just when it seemed that positive discrimination in favour of their particular conditions would have been passed in the context of the ‘European long-term strategy for rural areas’. Against this backdrop, this collective work aims to provide an study of some of these conflicts, to balance the particular interests of rural territories with the major strategic objectives that mark the institutional agenda, and to vindicate the importance of orienting the actions of public authorities towards the ever necessary restoration of the dignity of rural communities.
