Teaching English-Spanish Simultaneous and Consecutive Interpretation During COVID-19
Authors: Carbonell Aguero Leire
Published: August 2022

In this article, I would like to leave written testimony about how we coped with the COVID-19 pandemic in the Spanish Interpretation Program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS), where I teach English into Spanish simultaneous and consecutive interpretation. I will describe our experience immediately after COVID-19 hit the US, how professors and students transitioned from an in-person program to a remote one, how we stayed in a fully remote program for two and a half semesters, and how we went back to the physical classroom to a hybrid model once restrictions were lifted in the US. I will explain how I structured my simultaneous and consecutive interpretation classes in each semester that we stayed remote and the changes that I introduced once we went back to campus to a hybrid model. In addition, I will address some of the pros and cons that I found with each model based on my own experience. I will also cover the different initiatives that MIIS has put in place to support the professional development of professors to adapt our classes to the remote and hybrid model. To conclude, I would like to share with the readers the results of a survey conducted among students taking the Master of Arts in Translation and Interpretation (MATI), Master of Arts in Conference Interpretation (MACI), Master of Arts in Translation (MAT), and Master of Arts in Translation and Localization Management (MATLM) in the Spanish Interpretation Program at MIIS. The students who completed the survey were exposed to the remote, hybrid, and in-person models. The purpose of the survey was to informally gather the students’ opinions on the different models for learning interpretation that they experienced: in-person, online, and hybrid. I will finish the article with a reflection on the future of teaching interpretation in the Spanish Interpretation Program at MIIS.

Published: August 2022

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic not only impacted the circulation of people and goods on a global scale but also affected the events sector, the conference interpreting market, and the training of future interpreters. The present text aims to share the experience of the all in all successful transition from face-to-face teaching to remote teaching during the pandemic and thus contribute to the already existing academic accounts on the effects of the pandemic on conference interpreting teaching and learning (Ahrens et al., 2021; Krouglov, 2021). We identify three major aspects that led to a rather smooth teaching mode transition: (1) the efforts that had been undertaken in the years prior to the pandemic to incorporate autonomous learning practices into the curriculum leading to the use of online tools, shifting classroom activities to the home/virtual environment; (2) the training of some members of our staff in blended learning techniques and the active use of learning platforms in training; and (3) the software offered by the university for online sessions. This article is divided into three parts: First, we present the main features of PUC-Rio’s original training course, then we redraw the steps taken to gradually adapt the course to the challenge of remote online teaching during the pandemic, and finally we draw an initial reflection on the program’s adaptation to the online teaching and learning format. We understand that, while the pandemic has posed a major challenge to our conventional teaching and learning mode, the program was able to overcome initial difficulties. Furthermore, the transition to a fully remote teaching mode led to unforeseen opportunities as far as, for instance, the recruitment of new candidates nation-wide is concerned. We understand that PUC-Rio’s adoption of a fully remote teaching and learning mode from 2020 onwards opens up new perspectives for conference interpreting training in the post-pandemic landscape in Brazil.
How Remote Interpreting Changed the Japanese Interpreting Industry
Authors: Matsushita Kayo
Published: August 2022

It is widely known in the interpreting industry that the COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for the global spread of remote interpreting, the technology for which had existed for years prior. As governments and businesses continued to hold their meetings online or in hybrid forms even after lockdowns were lifted, demand kept rising (Nimdzi Insights, 2022). In order to investigate the immediate impact of the pandemic on remote interpreting, an online survey with a focus on remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) was conducted in the summer of 2020 in Japan (Matsushita, 2020b). The results revealed that while only 18.8% (n = 43) of the 229 respondents had RSI experience before the pandemic, the number jumped to 44.5% (n = 102) by the end of July 2020, with 91.7% (n = 210) of them envisioning that remote interpreting opportunities will continue to increase.
This prediction turned out to be true: a smaller survey conducted in Japan 17 months later in January 2022 revealed that all 51 respondents (100%) had experienced remote interpreting, with 58.8% (n = 30) saying that almost all of their assignments (at the time of the survey) were taking place remotely (Ikaros Publications, 2022). This trend is, of course, not limited to Japan. Numerous industry reports published in 2021 and 2022 showed a shared conviction that remote interpreting is here to stay (e.g., Association of Language Companies, 2021; Nimdzi Insights, 2022; Slator, 2022).
Against this backdrop, this study conducted a detailed analysis of the survey responses from Matsushita (2020b) to reinvestigate the transformation the interpreters experienced during the most turbulent months of the pandemic and find insights into remote interpreting in the post-pandemic world. Compared to Matsushita (2020b), which reported the aggregated survey results, this study will focus more on differences among the interpreters, language pairs, and interpreting genres represented.

Published: August 2022

One of the more important aspects of the formation of professional competencies of future teachers is the availability of conditions and means of implementation of this activity. Timely access to the latest educational and methodological materials is one of the necessary conditions for the formation of professional competencies, successfully provided today with the help of modern telecommunication technologies. Research on the expedient use of resources of the global Internet at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Informatics of the South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushynsky has been conducted since 1996. But observations of the nature of the use of Internet resources by students of the Pedagogical University indicate that the independent search and selection of necessary data in the network is a more important component of the information competence of future teachers, including teachers of computer science. With the growing number of resources of the global Internet is also increasing the number of unscientific, unverified and biased data, framed through false information messages and unverified facts.

Published: August 2022

One of the ways to use cloud technologies in the process of computer systems engineer training is to control the process of forming his/her professional competence, in particular - in the form of testing. This way of assessing the quality of specialist training will allow testing and teaching students regardless of their location, ensuring the security and confidentiality of all data.The use of cloud technologies in the formation of professional competence of a computer systems engineer will allow overcoming such existing barriers as technological, geographical, social, and improve the quality of education. Conducting inspections using cloud technologies does not require students to be physically present during the inspection, which is important in the process of modern life. The use of cloud technology allows not only access to educational materials of different types (text, visual, multimedia), but also to participate in the process of self-assessment of personal level of achievement, to perform joint work with a group or a teacher.

Such IDEs allow storing the source codes of programs, debugging them, compiling and executing them.Intensification of the learning process stimulates the search for new approaches to teaching disciplines, creating new and using ready-made software to support the learning process at a high level. At the same time, an important role in the study of programming-related disciplines is played by automated information systems of verification of solutions and accounting of the results of the verification.
CORRELATION BETWEEN RETICULOCYTE HEMOGLOBIN EQUIVALENT AND IRON STATUS IN PEDIATRIC CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Authors: Mungklarat Pacharin , Subun Chantida
Published: August 2022

Background: Anemia is a major complication of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of anemia. Conventional markers of iron deficiency anemia, transferrin saturation (TSAT) and serum ferritin could be interfered with various factors. in CKD. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) is useful for assessing iron status among these patients.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study enrolling children with CKD stage 3 and above was conducted between April and November 2021. Demographic information was also collected. Correlation of Ret-He, anemia indices and markers of iron status were analyzed.

Results: Among 50 participants, we found moderate positive correlations between Hb and Ret-He (r=0.518; p <0.001), Hct and Ret-He (r=0.403; p=0.004), and MCHC and Ret-He (r=0.667; p<0.001); a modest negative correlation between RDW and Ret-He (r=-0.616; p<0.001) and strong correlations between MCV and Ret-He (r=0.747; p<0.001) including MCH and Ret-He (r=0.865; p<0.001). No correlations between TSAT and Ret-He, serum ferritin and Ret-He, TSAT and Hb, or TSAT and Hct were observed. In addition, weak negative correlations between serum ferritin and Hb (r=-0.307; p=0.032) and between serum ferritin and Hct (r=-0.305; p=0.033) were detected. The median RetHe was 28.42 ± 3.37 pg. Twenty-seven participants (54%) met the criteria for iron deficiency anemia (cut-off value <29 pg) of which 2 (4%) had absolute iron deficiency and 9 (18%) had functional iron deficiency defined by conventional markers.

Conclusion: Ret-He is a relevant marker of iron status among pediatric patients with CKD and correlates well with anemia indices which could help identify more patients with iron deficiency.
Effect of Dual-stage Ageing and RRA Treatment on the Three-body Abrasive Wear of the AW7075 Alloy
Authors: Lachowicz Marzena , Leśniewski Tadeusz , Lachowicz Maciej
Published: August 2022

The paper presents an analysis of the influence of the heat treatment state on the abrasive wear of the AW7075 aluminium alloy. To determine the hardening state, the material hardness was measured. It was found that hardness is not the only factor that influences this type of wear. For this reason, the influence of the emerging microstructure is also analysed in the considerations. After tribological tests, microscopic observations of surface features were carried out to determine the dominant mechanisms of surface damage. The results were extended by the hardness distribution carried out on the cross-section. There were no changes in hardness that could be related to either strain hardening or structural changes caused by friction.

Authors: Kittusamy Ragul Kumar , Rajagopal Velavan , Felix Paul Gregory
Published: August 2022

In this research work, nano-phase change material (NPCM) composites were prepared by adding 1 %, 2 %, and 3 % mass fractions of highly conductive carbon-based graphene nanoparticles into the base phase change material (PCM). The existence and uniform graphene dispersion in the PCM was confirmed through Raman spectrometer and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and x-Ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that all three NPCM composites were chemically stable, and their crystallinity was similar to the base PCM. For the sample with 3 % graphene, the solid-state thermal conductivity was increased by 219.89 %, and liquid-state thermal conductivity was increased by 161.65 %, with a 3.52 % drop in latent heat capacity was revealed from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. All NPCM composites have onset and peak melting temperatures closer to the base PCM. Hence, the NPCM composites can be employed for thermal energy storage (TES) integrated solar water heater (SWH) applications.
Climate Change Factors' Impact on the Egyptian Agricultural Sector
Authors: El-Khalifa Zainab Shawky , Zahran Hoda Farouk , Ayoub Ahmed
Published: August 2022

Climate change is the greatest threat to agriculture and food security, particularly in developing countries. Climate change occurs as CO2 levels in the atmosphere rise, causing changes in wind patterns and rainfall and rising temperatures. This study assumes that climate change will have a long-run impact on Egypt's agricultural sector. So, an autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) was applied to examine the effects of climate change factors and other economic factors on Egyptian agricultural GDP in the short and long run from 1990 to 2020. The findings indicate that climate change factors have a long-run impact on Egypt's agricultural sector. In the long run, CO2 is the primary cause of Egypt's increasing temperatures. In the short run, climate change occurs because CO2 levels in the atmosphere increase, resulting in global warming, storms, floods, and rising sea levels. The result is that rising temperatures have reduced agricultural GDP.

The purpose of this research paper was to analyze the nexus between social peace and class inequalities in the education system of Pakistan. Qualitative, descriptive, and abductive research techniques were employed for the collection, analysis, and demonstration of data. The review of the literature concluded that the education system in Pakistan had badly failed to establish social peace, justice, tolerance, shared respect, harmony, and cooperation. Despite different measures such as modern techniques of curriculum development, effective teaching pedagogies, huge funds, up-to-date evaluation system, this education system only promoted hatred, evils, corruption, dishonesty, lust, immorality, unfaithfulness, materialism, secularism, and irreligious attitude into the society. The research disclosed that one of the core obstacles to social peace was Class inequalities in Pakistan's education system, which gave birth to uncountable problems in the society. In this context, this article intended to examine the effects of class inequalities in education upon social peace. The author would also recommend some suggestions to get rid of this issue and make a healthy, peaceful, and peace-promoting society in Pakistan.

Authors: Ahmed Effat Ahmed  , Yousry Abdelsalam  , Osama Helal Ahmed  , Hany Said Ismail Ramadan
Published: August 2022

Introduction and Aim: Obesity is a challenging problem for anesthetists. Difficult airway with risk of aspiration and regurgitation increases with obesity. Therefore, the need for effective and safe drug for rapid induction of anesthesia is crucial to ensure fast good intubation condition. The aim of this study is to assess Rocuronium versus Cisatracurium for rapid sequence induction of anesthesia in morbidly obese patients.

Patients and methods: This study included 60 patients with ASA physical status II, aged 21-40 years, BMI 35-40 kg/m2 and scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. Patients were classified into two equal groups: Group (R): received Rocuronium bromide (Esmeron) in a dose of 0.9 mg/kg (lean body mass) for intubation; Group (C): received Cisatracurium besylate (Nimbex) in a dose of 0.15 mg/kg (LBM) for intubation. Timing of intubation in seconds, intubation score (excellent, good, poor, or inadequate), and hemodynamic variables before induction (baseline), after induction and before injection of Neuro-muscular blocker (NMB), after injection of NMB and before endotracheal intubation and just after intubation were assessed and measured.

Results: There was statistically significant decrease in the timing of intubation in R group (84.0 ± 18.50) as compared to C group (96.0 ± 13.29). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the intubation score among the two groups. There was significant decrease in heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure after the induction of anaesthesia as compared to the baseline in both groups; Heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure changes were comparable among the two groups all of the time.

Conclusion: Rocuronium for rapid sequence induction in morbidly obese patients is associated with faster onset compared with cisatracurium, with comparable intubation condition and hemodynamic variables. We recommend further studies to be conducted for evaluation of both drugs with different doses.

Study on the Problems in Translation and Creative Interpretation by Using Bilingual Texts
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Chung Gil-wha
Published: August 2022

This study focuses on the problems in translation and creative interpretation by using bilingual texts. Bilingual here means English and “Hangeul,”which is Korean. As a professor majoring in English literature, I have been teaching English and literature mainly in elective courses. And I am more aware of the importance of English as a global language. The professors in the elective courses using bilingual texts should encourage students, even impromptu, to translate some parts into English, or Korean, at any time during the classes. The effect is that students will participate in active learning. That is, by using bilingual literature texts and attempting a new translation, students will be able to enlarge their humanistic imagination and creativity. I emphasize the development of bilingual texts and classes in abreast with the translation of Korean literature for its globalization and of the world literature into Korean. This is a process of learning to have a deep thought and understanding of human science through the development of literature and art which goes beyond the mere dimension of language ability.

Carbon mineralization potential of non-edible oil-seed cakes at different composting stages in soil
Authors: A VASUDHA UDUPA , SHIVANNA M B , GOWDA BALAKRISHNA
Published: August 2022

Non-edible oil-seed cakes of neem, madhuca and simarouba were subjected to natural decomposition by simple pit method in CR design during 2020â€“21 at UAS, GKVK, Bangalore. The physicochemical parameters temperature, pH, EC, mineral nutrients, lignin contents and phytotoxicity of oil-seed cakes during decomposition were determined at 30 days intervals for 90 days. Simultaneously, samples were also studied for the C-mineralization pattern by measuring CO2-C evolution during 60 days of the aerobic incubation experiment. The first-order kinetic model was used to describe the C-mineralization and calculate potentially mineralizable C. The decomposition of oil-seed cakes led to an increase in mineral nutrients and a decrease in lignin content and toxicity. After 60 days of the addition of soil with oil-seed cakes at different stages of compost, the cumulative C-mineralization occurred in the order neem<madhuca<simarouba. The kinetic model suggested the presence of potentially mineralizable C (C0) in the undecomposed simarouba oil-seed cake than in the neem and madhuca. This C0 decreased at 90 days of composting in all oil-seed cakes. The NMC was high in undecomposed oil-seed cakes in the order S-0>M-0>N-0. The CMC value of mature compost (90 days) was lower in neem and simarouba (6%) than in madhuca oil-seed cakes (22%). The low C-mineralization potential of raw and composted neem oil-seed cake suggested its superiority in the improvement of SOC. However, complete composting of oil-seed cakes of madhuca and simarouba was necessary for C-sequestration.

The study was carried out at Punjab Horticultural Postharvest Technology Centre, Punjab Agricultural University during 2019â€“20. All the cultivars were packed in LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) bags of 25 gauge thickness and were stored under cold store (4â€“7Â°C Â± 1Â°C) and ambient (25â€“30Â°C) conditions. Significant differences were observed among genotypes for various physicochemical characteristics under both the storage conditions. CH-52 recorded lowest weight loss and minimum spoilage. Higher antioxidant potential, chlorophyll and capsaicin were also retained in CH-52 at the end of storage period. Among other two genotypes CH-27 showed better shelf life than Veerji. Therefore, CH-52 could be recommended for commercial cultivation owing to its lowest spoilage index and higher shelf life as compared to checks.

A field experiment was conducted at the Farming System Research Centre for Hill and Plateau Region, Ranchi, Jharkhand during 2016â€“19 on acidic soil to evaluate the production potential, competitive indices and economics of ten diversified cropping systems. Results revealed that rice equivalent yield of intercropping with finger millet+horse gram (7.4 t/ha) was recorded significantly higher compared to finger millet+black gram (6.7 t/ha), rice+black gram (5.55 t/ha), rice+horse gram (5.83 t/ha) and sole rice cropping (1.54 t/ha). Higher gross return (â‚¹285441/ha), net return (â‚¹217159/ha), B:C ratio (4.18), economic efficiency (â‚¹595/ha/day), crop productivity (20.3 kg/ha/day) were recorded with finger millet+horse gram, which was significantly higher as compared to finger millet+black gram, rice+black gram, rice+ horse gram and sole rice cropping. Significantly higher land equivalent ratio (2.42) was noted with rice+black gram over rice+horse gram, finger millet+blackgram and finger millet+horse gram. Higher positive aggresivity index (0.22) was recorded with rice+blackgram. Diversified production systems with finger millet+ horse gram had more monetary advantage index (â‚¹153100/ha) over finger millet+black gram, rice+black gram and rice+horsegram. Thus, finger millet+horsegram was noted the most productive, resource-use efficient and remunerative cropping system under rainfed production system of hill and plateau region of eastern India.

Field experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Chhatarpur during rabi 2017â€“18 and 2018â€“19 to evaluate appropriate herbicides for effective management of complex weed flora of wheat crop. The present investigation concluded that the use of single herbicide was either ineffective or less effective against complex weed flora. However, combination of two or more compatible herbicide molecules like clodinafop propargyl + metsulfuron-methyl and sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron-methyl was quite effective against complex weed flora in wheat resulting in higher WCE, WCEI, yield and economic net return/unit area (85.9% broad leaved weeds and 90.3% narrow leaved weeds, 87.2%. 39.9 q/ha and `46103/ha), respectively, followed by application of Sufosulfuron + metsulfuron methyl (82.4% broad leaved weeds and 85% narrow leaved weeds, 81.1%, 38.8 q/ha and `43936/ha), respectively, as compared to control plot. Therefore, the combination of two compatible herbicide molecules clodinafop propargyl + metsulfuron-methyl and sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron-methyl is quite effective against complex weed flora in wheat. This can be a better alternative for managing complex weed flora in the wheat field than the sole herbicide.

Long melon [Cucumis melo var. utilissimus (Roxb.) Duthie & Fuller] cultivation in open field condition in northern India is hampered due to extremes of the temperature from September to January. Therefore, the present study was carried out to explore possibility for off-season production of long melon under protected conditions at Center for Protected Cultivation Technology (CPCT), ICAR-IARI, New Delhi in 2016â€“17 and 2017â€“18. Seedlings were transplanted as per five different spacing and branch pruning methods. The combination of closer spacing with maximum branch node pruning method under polyhouse structure was found better for off-season long melon production. Flowering appeared earlier by 4.02 days, first fruit picking by 5 days, additional number of pickings (5 times) and harvesting period extended by 60 days in polyhouse compared to insect proof net-house structure. The closer spacing S1 (50 cm Ã— 20 cm) exhibited maximum weight of fruits, fruit yield, gross income as well as net-income and B: C ratio. Among pruning methods, complete branch pruning method P1 (single stem cultivation or branch less cultivation) contributed positively significant effect on all parameters of long melon. The combination of polyhouse structure with closer spacing (50 cm Ã— 20 cm) and optimum branch pruning (after one node cutting) gave highest yield and net income per unit area for off-season cultivation of long melon.

A field experiment was conducted on Typic Ustochrept soil at the Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut, for two years (2014â€“15 to 2015â€“16) to evaluate site specific nutrient management (SSNM) against state recommendation (SR), integration of SSNM and SR with crop residue and farm yard manure. In terms of crop growth yield, nutrient uptake and economics, SSNM had significantly higher growth parameters, viz. number of tillers/m2 and dry matter accumulation as compared to SR in both rice and wheat crops. Different yield attributes, viz. number of grains/panicle or spike, test weight of rice and wheat were also higher with SSNM. SSNM out yielded for rice, wheat and rice-wheat system (RWS) productivity by 10.3%, 14.1% and 11.9%. System N, P and K uptake under SSNM was also higher by 24.36, 9.55 and 36.01 kg/ha, respectively, compared to SR. An additional income of `12953/ha over SR and maximum return/rupee invested (`2.50) was also recorded with SSNM. Recycling of 5 t/ha rice and wheat straw residue along with SSNM had added advantage.

The present experiment was conducted to study residual effect of three maize (Zea mays L.) varieties on oats (Avena sativa L.) (V1: African Tall, V2: J-1006; V3: P-3396) and four nutrient management practices (N0: Control; N1: 100% RDF; N2: 75% RDF + PGPR + Panchagavya spray; N3: 50% RDF + 25% FYM + PGPR + Panchagavya spray) using split plot design. Results showed that residual effect of maize varieties on oats were found to be nonsignificant for different growth attributes and green fodder yield. Nutrient management practices caused significant variations on growth as well as green fodder yield. Significantly better growth in terms of plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, stem girth, number of tillers, CGR as well as RGR at both cuts were recorded with application of 75% RDF + PGPR + Panchagavya spray (N2) compared with control (N0) and 100% RDF (N1). The use of 75% RDF + PGPR + Panchagavya spray recorded significantly highest green fodder yield and production efficiency among all nutrient management practices. Our results indicate that integrated use of organic and inorganic nutrient sources (N2) enhances the productivity of fodder oats, besides reducing 25% dose of chemical fertilizers which can sustain the crop productivity.
