Investigating ideology in news features translated for two Italian media
Authors: Manfredi Marina
Published: November 2018

The paper focuses on the news backgrounder, a sub-genre which has until now received less attention in translation studies. It is a major site of the journalist’s voice and is thus deemed a fertile field for the exploration of subjectivity and ideology in translation. The paper, dealing with the language pair English–Italian, stems from an emblematic context which led to two case studies allowing for interesting comparisons. The weekly news magazine Internazionale, counting on the collaboration of freelance professional translators and the news website Italiadallestero, supported by volunteer collaboration, are the focus of attention. The two cases share the same interest, i.e., how Italy and Italians are seen through the eyes of the foreign press and both fundamentally rely on translation. Issues of subjectivity and ideology are invariably entailed and conveyed through evaluative language choices. In order to examine their meaning and effects, the paper makes use of an approach that combines a product- and a context-oriented methodology, the former grounded on a text-focused qualitative analysis within the framework of Appraisal theory (Martin and White 2005), the latter based on interviews with (some of) the agents who were actually involved in the translation process.
How to approach translation in a financial news corpus?
Authors: Gagnon Chantal , Boulanger Pier-Pascale , Kalantari Esmaeil
Published: November 2018

This article deals with some of the theoretical and methodological problems that arise when working with a bilingual comparable (i.e., non-parallel) journalistic corpus of financial news that is relatively large (9 million words). The corpus under study comprises two sets of texts drawn from Canadian French and English newspapers in the years between the Tech Wreck of 2001 and the financial crisis of 2007−2008. Following Davier (2015) who advocates for a broadened definition of news translation that includes intralingual activity, the authors make a case for the study of intralingual translation, or rewording, which is a fundamental feature of financial news, as journalists work to popularize specialized knowledge for lay audiences. The methodological challenges of surveying interlingual translation in a sizeable corpus of financial news are discussed in relation with the production of news in Canada. A pilot study using the lexical item “subprime” and its French equivalents illustrates how interlingual and intralingual translation can be investigated in a corpus comprising 18,601 news items. The authors explain how they apply a mixed-method approach (Saldanha and O’Brien 2013) that is based on the interaction between qualitative and quantitative analysis in their research on news translation.

Published: November 2018

Introduction

The prevalence of invasive fungal diseases shows an increasing trend. Due to the frequent but unprofessional usage of antifungal medications, the fungi show decreasing susceptibility towards these agents and this trend may lead to the emergence of resistant pathogens. There is a great need to develop antifungal medications with new mechanisms. One of these options is to apply proteins with natural antifungal effects. The objective was to measure the antifungal efficacy of Xenorhabdus budapestensis in vitro on clinical Candida species (Candida albicans, Candida lusitaniae, Candida krusei, Candida kefyr, Candida tropicalis, and Candida glabrata). Materials and methods: We defined the sensitivity of the Candida species towards antibiotics. We conducted agar diffusion tests with the cleaned biopreparation of X. budapestensis (100%) and its dilutions (80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%). Zones of inhibition were measured after 24, 48, and 96 hr.

Results

Most of the tested Candida species have shown sensitivity to the biopreparation and its 40% dilution. The area of the zones of inhibition did not decrease after several days. The most sensitive species was C. lusitaniae and the least sensitive was C. krusei.

Conclusion

We assume that the proteins produced by X. budapestensis have antifungal effect, as the area of the zones of inhibition did not change.
Health and Popular Psychology
Authors: Warrier Maya
Published: November 2018

This article examines a small selection of popular anglophone publications on ayurveda, authored by three well-known US-based writer-practitioners: Robert Svoboda, Deepak Chopra and David Frawley. It argues that these individuals' interpretations of ayurveda's principles and practices are deeply influenced by popular psychology, and by the therapy culture that it has spawned in Euro-American contexts. These writers draw upon some key tenets of popular psychology in their works: that physical illness is an outward manifestation of a psychological problem; that self-awareness and personal growth are essential for attaining optimum health; that individuals must assume active responsibility for maximizing health and wellbeing. Through their psychologized interpretations, Chopra, Frawley and Svoboda greatly expand ayurveda's scope. In their hands, ayurveda is not simply a medical tradition for remedying illness (its predominant focus in mainstream South Asian practice) but, more importantly, a means for personal growth, human potential optimization, and self-actualization.
Negotiating Contemporary Hindu Beliefs and Practices in the United States
Authors: Chappell Frank R.
Published: November 2018

Major religions maintain adherence to the guiding force of a literary canon in shaping morality and ethical behaviour in the believer. Hinduism's various strains of orthodoxy and orthopraxy create a pluralistic confusion for the casual onlooker attempting to systematize a code of conduct for practising Hindus. Doctrinal beliefs such as samsara, karma, reincarnation, moksha, and practices of various meditations, yogas, or dietary restrictions, are recognizable features of Hinduism in popular culture. However, the variation in religious ideology among believing individuals should be assessed in light of contemporary philosophy and social science. The purpose of this article is to investigate, through qualitative interviews, the contemporary negotiation of religious beliefs and practices in two Hindu communities in order to provide a context to a dialogue of what it means to be Hindu in the United States.

Published: November 2018

Impacts of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the phytoplankton community have been studied in many different waters in the world. However, these effects on phytoplankton communities in coastal upwelling waters are still in need in various aspects such as specific responses of phytoplankton and its dynamics. Phytoplankton data of 15 stations in Ninh Thuan  - Binh Thuan coastal area collected in July 2016 (post El Niño year) and July 2017 (ENSO neutral year) was analyzed and comparing using diversity indices, composition and density of the phytoplankton to measure influences of ENSO on the phytoplankton community structure in coastal upwelling of South Centre Viet Nam. The results revealed significant differences of average species number, the Margalef, Shannon, and Simpson diversity indices and the density of phytoplankton between the two years. These values and indices were significant higher in ENSO neutral year (2017) than the post El Niño year (2016), except the Pielou evenness index. Phytoplankton community structures of two periods were different by 82.26% based on SIMPER analyzing.

Published: November 2018

Soybeans have become widly important and popular due to a high demand of plant protein and fiber. Besides, grains of soybean contain abundance of vitamines, minerals and bioactive compounds such as isoflavone, gama- aminobutyric acid... However, some antinutrient compounds such as tripsin inhibitor and phytate are available in these grains. In this paper, nutrient compounds (protein, lipid, polysaccharide and dissolved minerals) and enzymes of early germinating seeds of soybean varieties (DT84 and DT2008) were evaluated and compared to those of non-germinating beans in order to determine a suitable germinating period for food processing. Experimental results showed that: Activities of enzymes (protease, amylase and phytase) in early germinating soybeans were higher than those in dry beans. Those enzymes have made major changes in nutrient compounds of soybeans: proteins, polysaccharides and lipids reduced. Especially, the content of phytate, an antinutrient factor, reduced signicantly (17.0-48.9% in DT84 variety and 28.0-60.7% in DT2008 variety) during early germinating period of soybeans. However, easy uptake minerals (calcium, iron and zinc ions), reduced sugars and peptides were significantly increased. In detail, the increase in dissolve iron cation was 10.31-12.13%, calcium cation was 31.56-35.75% and zinc cation was 31.38-43.32%. These results confirmed the positive effect of germinating soybeans in food processing.

Study on centipedes was conducted in Muong Thai commune, Ta Xua Natural Reserve, Son La in May and November 2017. Samples were collected in four typical habitats: natural forests, bamboo mixed forests, bamboo forests and agro-residental areas. As a result, a total of 17 species and subspecies in two orders (Scolopendromorpha and Scutigeromorpha) was recorded in that region. Of which, the order Scolopendromorpha has 15 recorded species and subspecies belonging to 7 genera, 3 families (Cryptopidae, Scolopendridae, Scolopocryptopidae). The other order, Scutigeromorpha, has only one species in one family (Scutigeridae). The study results also contributed new records of 13 species in 7 genera to the centipede fauna of the northwestern part of Vietnam, and 1 genus, Thereuonema, to the Vietnamese fauna.Among four habitats, natural and bamboo forests have highest similarity on species composition, but agro-residental area and bamboo forest have lowest value on species composition. The diversity index (H’) is highest in bamboo forests (2,98), decreases in mixed forest (2,31), natural forest (1,67) and agro-residental area (0,74). In contrast, centipede density is highest in natural forest (0,60 ind./m2), reduces in bamboo forest (0,47 ind./m2) and mixed forest (0,20 ind./m2).

Published: November 2018

PRRS (Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome) is the most significant infectious disease currently devastating the swine industry. In order to diversify antigen sources for vaccine production to against PRRSV, co-expressing LTB and PRRSV GP5- an important structure protein GP5 of PRRSV were expressed in tobacco. Genes encoded for GP5 of PRRSV isolated from pigs infected PRRSV in Vietnam in 2010 and was constructed in plant expression vector under the control of seed specific phaseolin promoter and constitutive promoter 35S. The genes were then transferred into the C9-1 tobacco using Agrobacterium. The stable insertion of LTB-GP5genes in genomeoftransgenic tobacco was confirmed by PCR and RT-PCR. Western hybridization indicated that fused protein LTB-GP5 was successful expressed in tobacco seeds. Analysis of transgenic tobaco seeds revealed that under regulation of promoter beta-phaseolin, the level expression of GP5 was significant improved as quantiﬁed by ELISA (2.2 % of total soluble protein). This preliminary result is a foundation for expression of GP5 in seeds of other plants in the future.
Optimisation of rice bran hydolysation using xylanase for xylooligosacchride production
Authors: Phuong Nguyen Thi Mai , Anh Nguyen Hoa , Ngoc Pham Thi , Lien Quach Thi , Bich Nguyen Thi
Published: November 2018

Rice bran is a subsidised product of rice processing. It is rich in carbohydrate, especially xylan therefore, has being used for production of soluble fiber oligosaccharide including xylooligosaccharides (XOS). XOS is an oligomer of 2-7 xylose residues and has been proven to be fermented by beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in colon. The market for XOS is increasing rapidly due to its advantages in biological and technological properties, compared to other common oligosaccharides, such as fructooligosaccharide or galactooligosaccharide. XOS can be produced from rice bran using either chemical or enzymatic hydrolysation technologies. The hydrolyzation using β-1,4-xylanase is commonly used to produce XOS from rice bran. However, an appropriate technology for XOS production from rice bran with high purity and food safety in Vietnam is not available yet. This paper presents new data on optimisation of rice bran hydrolyzation by xylanase to produce XOS using the quadratic model of Box-Behnken. The theoretically optimized conditions for the hydrolyzation are 0.25% enzyme at pH 5.5, temperature of 50°C for 18 hours. Experimental data confirmed the selected condition. The XOS product contains mainly xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose.
Revetment Running and Econarratological Poetry
Authors: Jonasson Kalle
Published: November 2018

In this article, nonhuman poetry is explored. Departing from an autoethnographic project based on audio recordings made while running on revetments, and which  discussed how to give voice to nonhuman actors the possibilities of nonhuman poetry, this text aims at taking it one step further by extracting poetry from the material. Ethnographically, this is discussed in terms of affect, and an 'ethnography to be'. Theoretically, the study has a posthumanist approach, with a specific focus on the econarratology of philosopher Michel Serres. The method and theory are are discussed in tandem in relation to what philospher Peter Sloterdijk has coined 'amphibian anthropology'. By stacking the bracketed words in my transcriptions, four poems emerge in which background sounds, contextual descriptions, corrections and bodily sounds form the content. Each poem is accompanied by a map made from smartphone screenshots. The prose is found to be evocative of the surroundings of the recording, and also resonating with the ideas of human language as derivative of what Serres calls the Great narrative, the story of universe and nature themselves. The proximity to water and rocks discernible in the experiment is seen as a result stemming from practicing the hope-oriented 'ethnography to be'.

After commissioning the poem in 1942, the Writers’ War Board coordinated a high-profile, strategically sequenced release, in which eight versions of the poem went public during a single week—periodical versions in he Saturday Review of Literature and Life magazine, a live performance featuring Hollywood actors, an NBC radio broadcast of that live performance, globally broadcast radio versions in three languages, and a book issued by Harper and Brothers. Comparing a set of fan letters (written in response to the NBC and Life versions) with a collection of interleaved book versions of the poem (books with newspaper articles stored between their pages) suggests how audiences might have been moved by the media of Murder's distribution as much as by the content of the poem itself.
Rating the resilience of transport infrastructure project delivery: the case of roads
Authors: Roumboutsos Athena , Pantelias Aristeidis
Published: November 2018

Transport infrastructure project delivery resilience has been defined and approached through the assessment of a project’s likelihood to reach prespecified performance targets. In this assessment, infrastructure project delivery is considered as a system and its key elements are represented through system indicators. Qualitative and quantitative (indicator) analysis of 86 EU infrastructure projects allowed the identification of indicator combinations and their value ranges that capture the likelihood of achieving four key output targets – that is, cost and time to construction completion and actual against forecast traffic and revenues. Indicators have also been classified as actionable (or not) – that is, allowing (or not) the possibility to improve the likelihood of reaching prespecified project delivery targets. Based on indicator analysis findings, a novel methodology has been proposed for rating the likelihood of transport infrastructure projects to achieve their performance targets, through the use of the Transport Infrastructure Resilience Indicator (Tiresi). Tiresi ratings complement existing decision-support tools by indicating actions that may be taken to address identified vulnerabilities and improve project robustness. This paper takes stock of the Tiresi methodology and demonstrates the application of its rating system for the case of road infrastructure projects, showing promising accuracy in its predictive power.
On the U.S. Firm and Establishment Size Distributions
Authors: Kondo Illenin O. , Lewis Logan T. , Stella Andrea
Published: November 2018

This paper revisits the empirical evidence on the nature of firm and establishment size distributions in the United States using the Longitudinal Business Database (LBD), a confidential Census Bureau panel of all non-farm private firms and establishments with at least one employee. We establish five stylized facts that are relevant for the extent of granularity and the nature of growth in the U.S. economy: (1) with an estimated shape parameter significantly below 1, the best-fitting Pareto distribution substantially differs from Zipf's law for both firms and establishments; (2) a lognormal distribution fits both establishment and firm size distributions better than the commonly-used Pareto distribution, even far in the upper tail; (3) a convolution of lognormal and Pareto distributions fits both size distributions better than lognormal alone while also providing a better fit for the employment share distribution; (4) the estimated parameters are different across manufa cturing and services sectors, but the distribution fit ranking remains unchanged in the sectoral subsamples. Finally, using the Census of Manufactures (CM), we find that (5) the distribution of establishment-level total factor productivity---a common theoretical primitive for size---is also better described by lognormal than Pareto. We show that correctly characterizing the firm size distribution has first order implications for the effect of firm-level idiosyncratic shocks on aggregate activity.

Conceptual bases were developed for socially oriented information technology based on integration of diversification and technological processes for creation of additional production and infrastructure facilities by means of stage-by-stage structural synthesis of processing and restoration of broken lands. The structure of conceptual bases is offered consisting of empirical prerequisites, principles, model of increase in level of ecological safety, indicators of assessment of requirements, results of realization and criteria of reliability. The principles are directed to prevention of ecological damage, full cycle of rational environmental management, coordination of interests of public authorities, investors, owners and society, integration of technologies of waste processing, land reclamation and creation of objects of social infrastructure. The conceptual model of increase in level of ecological safety reflects interaction of the main and auxiliary production of technogenic resources utilization and restoration of the broken territories with subsequent creation of infrastructure facilities. Results of realization of socially oriented information technology have the following characteristics: concreteness, interpretiability, checkability, reliability, completeness and consistency. In compliance with the offered tools, scenarios of increase in level of ecological safety of the city of Novokuznetsk have been developed for conditions of functioning of metallurgical plants producing materials from waste of metallurgical industry, materials for construction needs, construction bricks, additives to concrete and fertilizers for agriculture. Project scenarios till 2037 are described: economic effect; area of restored lands; volume of environmental pollution as a result of production activity; population of mining and metallurgical area with standard indicators; prevented pollution volume per capita. Construction of plant is planned from 2019 to 2020, with commissioning in 2021; stage-by-stage creation of social infrastructure objects is planned since 2033. As a result of modeling it was revealed as follows: annual growth of expected indicators of scenarios due to synthesis of stage-by-stage operations of waste processing, and restoration of broken lands, decrease in volume of environment pollution caused by commissioning of waste-free and low-waste productions.

Coke production is a high-tech process, which at the same time has all kinds of negative environmental impacts (emissions of pollutants into the air, wastewater discharge, placement of production and consumption waste). To improve environmental safety, it is necessary to study local ecological-economic system and its main elements in order to improve management efficiency. The article analyzes known approaches to definition and features of functioning of ecological-economic systems of industrial enterprises and their modifications. As a result of the analysis, system of correlated environmental and economic indicators is presented, reflecting specifics of ecological and economic system of coking enterprise with a monodirectional production program. The most important are the considered dependencies “current expenses for environment protection/risk level”, “current expenses for environment protection/payment for negative impact on environment”, “current expenses for environment protection/ economic damage compensation factor” and “capacity utilization/risk level”. Enterprise has identified implementation of non-stationary environmental policy, differentiated by time intervals: from 2004 to 2010 and from 2010 to 2016. Based on synthesis of theoretical studies of domestic and international researchers and analysis of graphical dependencies of actual data, directions for management efficiency improvement of local ecological-economic system of a coking plant were formed. From this point of view, it is of great importance to increase effectiveness of current expenditures provision for environment protection through development of mechanism for redistributing total amount between individual unified items of expenditures, as well as developing an algorithm for managing waste generated in the enterprise in terms of their further use to produce marketable products and minimizing potential charges for waste disposal. The work is of practical importance for large industrial enterprises with diversified negative environmental impact in order to prepare for adoption of effective environmental safety management decisions.
Самооценка эмоционального интеллекта с точки зрения модели культурной релевантности
Authors: Камышникова Любовь Дмитриевна , Белова Софья Сергеевна
Published: November 2018

Исследование посвящено изучению специфики самооценки эмоционального интеллекта (ЭИ), которая рассматривалась с позиций теоретической модели релевантности задачи культуре. Модель включает в себя три измерения (прототипичность, ценность, частотность) и предполагает их влияние на внешнюю валидность самооценки. На первом этапе исследования был сконструирован опросник ЭИ на основе подхода Д. Басса и К. Крейка. На втором этапе пункты опросника были оценены с точки зрения трех измерений релевантности. На третьем этапе проведено измерение ЭИ с помощью сконструированного опросника и тестов. Показано, что корреляция пунктов опросника ЭИ с внешними критериями предсказывается их ценностью (с положительным знаком). Уровень самооценки в большей степени, по сравнению с ее точностью, определяется релевантностью.

Моделирование взаимоотношений между когнитивными способностями и экономическими достижениями
Authors: Куливец Сергей Геннадьевич , Ушаков Дмитрий Викторович
Published: November 2018

Как экономисты, так и психологи показали большое значение когнитивных способностей и компетенций для экономических достижений. За большинством этих исследований стоит представление, что более способные и образованные люди достигают лучших результатов в экономике. Это представление, безусловно, справедливо как отражение общей тенденции, однако оно не объясняет скромные экономические достижения ряда стран с высоким уровнем развития человеческого капитала. Авторы предполагают, что связь человеческих компетенций с экономическими достижениями опосредована решением задач. Производство товаров и услуг основано на решении задач по их проектированию, изготовлению, доставке и т.д. Качество решения задач зависит от человеческих компетенций и, в свою очередь, определяет экономические достижения. Что еще более важно, выбор экономических задач для решения создает или, напротив, уничтожает возможность применения высококвалифицированного труда и, следовательно, достаточно полной реализации человеческого капитала в экономических достижениях. В статье предлагается математическая модель, основанная на указанных предпосылках. Результаты, сгенерированные с помощью этой модели, воспроизводят основные данные Р. Линна и Т. Ванханена (2002). Так, модель показывает нелинейное возрастание экономических достижений с повышением среднего интеллекта стран, а также параллельное возрастание дисперсии между различными странами. Таким образом, можно заключить, что предложенная модель неплохо объясняет эмпирические данные о связи интеллекта с экономическими достижениями.

Лавапьес
Authors: Бонфильи Фиамметта
Published: November 2018

Настоящая статья посвящена мадридскому кварталу Лавапьес. Ее цель — проанализировать связь между мерами, направленными на обеспечение безопасности в городском пространстве, и конструированием образа Лавапьес как «небезопасного» квартала посредством криминализации мигрантов и городских социально-политических конфликтов. Анализ Комплексного плана повышения безопасности и улучшения условий совместного проживания в квартале Лавапьес в Мадриде (2012 г.) показал, что характер дискурса о городской безопасности определяется текущей социально-политической ситуацией, когда вопрос о контроле миграции в Испании лежит в основе политического конфликта между государственными институтами и общественными движениями. В городском контексте термин «безопасность» нельзя рассматривать как нейтральный: это, скорее, поле политического конфликта, где непрерывный пересмотр интересов участвующих в нем сторон находит отражение в нормативном дискурсе1.____________________________

Authors: Климанова Марина Владиславовна , Стадников Виталий Эдуардович
Published: November 2018

Межевание — неотъемлемый инструмент градорегулирования, позволяющий возложить ответственность на собственников за заботу о внутриквартальной территории. Однако, как показывает опыт, межевания недостаточно для того, чтобы обеспечить эффективный уход за территорией. В статье рассматриваются факторы, оказывающие влияние на содержание и благоустройство внутриквартальных территорий в условиях проведенного межевания. Приводятся результаты анализа четырех кварталов города Тольятти, их параметры и оценка качества благоустройства, а также интерпретация экспертных интервью. Таким образом иллюстрируются процессы благоустройства и содержания в городе, выявляются их основные проблемы и роль, которую в них играет межевание. По результатам проведенной работы определяются направления для дальнейших исследований.
