Exploring the translation–development interactions from an emergent semiotic perspective
Authors: Chen Xi
Published: January 2023

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area or GBA), a megalopolis in China, has developed rapidly and achieved remarkable results in recent years. This study aims to explore the translation–development interactions in the GBA from an emergent semiotic perspective. Following the studies on translation and development (Marais, 2014, 2018; Olivier de Sarden, 2005), this study views development as a semiotic process of making meaning under specific affordances and constraints, while translations could be regarded as meaningful intercultural mediations or adaptations that help to transcend language barriers and support regional development. Through exploring different translation practices in education, economics and the media, this study analyses how translation plays a mediating role in the development of the GBA in multiple respects. It first examines the adaptation of curriculum designs of translation courses in the universities of the GBA and then analyses the functions of the translation industry in support of the economic development of the GBA. Finally, it analyses the translations of international publicity material on the tourism websites of the GBA to explore the ways in which translation mediates in the cultural exchanges and coordinated developments regarding the GBA and its component parts. The research findings show that translation practices interact with the developmental contexts at the linguistic, economic and cultural levels, contributing to the coordinated development of the GBA.

Translational Approach to Inclusive Development
Authors: Todorova Marija , Marais Kobus
Published: January 2023

The semiotic conceptualization of translation in the area of development, and especially in inclusive development that takes into consideration marginalized and vulnerable populations, allows for an understanding of translation beyond mere linguistic translation. On the one hand, this article advances the theoretical discussion of translation in development studies. On the other hand, it also provides a diversity of contexts, both geographic and historical, in which translation plays an important role in development processes and practices. Two major themes have surfaced in the issue: (1) the distinction in the approaches to the development agenda from a North–South aid and a South–South cooperation perspective, with a special focus on China; and (2) the multidirectional and multilingual flow of knowledge and the need to preserve indigenous knowledge by preserving and translating indigenous languages.

Authors: Hassan Muhammad Uzair-ul- , Khan Sahib , Parveen Iram
Published: January 2023

An individual is supposed to learn approved social behavior and play roles as per approved norms in the social group he is living. The psychosocial development process is combined with social behavior. There are many ways to reshape or polish one’s social behavior. Deafness is associated with psychosocial problems which result in deviated social behavior. Psychosocial development last with lifespan. Erikson’s theoretical approach provides a conceptualization of counseling needs also guides intervention and determines the role of caregivers or counselors. Counseling therapy is an important way of intervention to address the psychosocial problems of the deaf community. This study is based on the critical review of the literature; an integrative literature review technique along with a qualitative approach was adopted to get available information in the literature for the purpose to conceptualize the thematic knowledge by synthesizing the scholarly information available on the topic. The literature revealed that counseling therapy is helpful in improving social skills, improving the level of socialization, and addressing the social and emotional problems of deaf persons.
The objective side of the crime of illegal enrichment
Authors: Virlan Petru
Published: January 2023

The crime of illicit enrichment was, is and will not lose its relevance in the context of the development of social, economic and political relations. Given the fact that in the composition of this crime we find a specific element, which refers to the manner of committing the crime by a person with a position of responsibility or by a public person, we consider it imperative to report on this fact and to we come with clarifications, as well as to establish the factors that formed the basis of the formation of this element without which it is not possible to incriminate the crime. We support the idea that this aspect should be discussed in the context of the numerous criminal cases initiated on the basis of this article, and which often cause difficulties for the criminal investigation body.
Minerals in the соаl from the Oranovo-Simitli Basin, Bulgaria
Authors: Sotirov Anton , Kortenski Jordan
Published: January 2023

Twenty-five minerals were established in the coal from Oranovo-Simitli basin. More of them were silicates. The sulfide minerals were less than the silicates. All other minerals were oxides, sulphates and phosphates, which were presented, in small amount. Three groups of the minerals were separated according to their genesis. First group includes minerals, formed mainly “in situ” in the peat bog: pyrite, marcazite, chalcopyrite, galena, calcite, siderite, aragonite, witherite, dolomite, hematite, braunite, and apatite. The minerals from the second group were formed mainly “in situ” in the rocks around the basin. They were transported in the peat bog by water streams: quartz, albite, anorthite, sericite, kämmererite, analcime, epidote, titanite, and rutile. The minerals from the third group were the clay minerals. They were separated in an extra group, because they had formed in the peat bog or in the rocks around the basin and they were products of chemical decomposition of already existed minerals. The minerals from the third group were kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite. The main supplying provinces with minerals were the rocks around the basin from North, Northwest and Northeast mainly. The coal seam was most rich of minerals than the shales from the upper and the bottom of the seam. The shale from the bottom has more variety of minerals than the shale from the upper of the seam. The kämmererite, analcime and braunite are new established minerals for the coals.

Authors: Kanazirski Milko , Ivanov Ivan , Karadjov Metodi
Published: January 2023

It is carried out ore parageneses digital study of the iron and copper sulphides and oxides and native copper in the Fe-Cu-S-O system, open for the sulphur and oxygen at T = 400"C and P = I kbar. The system includes 10 minerals: pyrrhotite (Po), pyrite (Py), magnetite (Mt), hematite (Hem), chalcopyrite (Ccp), bornite (Bn), native copper (Cop), chalcocite (Cc), covellite (Cv) and cuprite (Cup). For the calculations is used Shvarov's (1992) database for the thermodynamical properties of the minerals and the sulphur and oxygen fugacities. Paragenetic incompatible are the minerals: Po - Hem, Po - Ce, Po - Cv, Po - Cup, Py - Cop, Py - Cup, Py - Cc, Mt - Cv, Mt - Cup, Cop - Bn, Cop - Ccp, Cop - Cv, Cup - Bn, Cup - Ccp, Cup - Cv, Cv - Ccp H Cc - Ccp. The simultaneous occur of some of these minerals indicates metastable state of the system. It is estimated the values of the sulphur and oxygen fugacity in the gas phase, that is in the equilibrium with the association of the ore mineral parageneses at T = 400ºC and P = I kbar. These values enable to draw monovariant lines, setting landmarks between the fields of the different ore mineral parageneses stability and chemical transform reactions. The results of the calculations are presented on the plot with coordinates IgfS2 - IgfO2.
Diskurzivni tragovi malih država
Authors: Kovačević Marko
Published: January 2023

Tokom trideset godina nakon raspada socijalističke Jugoslavije, Srbija i Hrvatska su kao postjugoslovenske male države ipak drugačije osmišljavale svoje mesto u regionalnom i globalnom kontekstu. O tome svedoči i njihov različit odnos prema međunarodnim organizacijama poput Evropske unije (EU), NATO ili Ujedinjenih nacija. Ovaj članak u središte svog interesovanja uzima UN kao multilateralni forum ili arenu u kojoj se bitno predstavljaju i oblikuju spoljnopolitičke uloge i identiteti malih država. Oslanjajući se na konstruktivističku analizu spoljne politike i teoriju uloga, autor se fokusirao na glavne deonice u razvoju spoljnopolitičkih narativa Srbije i Hrvatske kao aktivnih malih država članica u Ujedinjenim nacijama. Iako obe države vide sebe kao aktivne, ta aktivnost bi trebalo da bude u funkciji dve različite, teorijski profilisane, strategije malih država. Obrazlaže se sledeći argument: dok Srbija zbog složenosti kosovskog pitanja vodi uglavnom defanzivno autonomnu strategiju u skladu sa proklamovanom vojnom neutralnošću, dotle je Hrvatska kao mala članica EU i NATO priklonjena traganju za integracionističkim uticajem u konstelaciji sa evroatlantskim partnerima. Analizom zvaničnih diskursa dveju zemalja u Generalnoj skupštini UN, između 2000. i 2020. godine, pokazano je na koji način, i u kojoj meri se njihovi diskursi o regionalnoj, evropskoj i svetskoj politici približavaju ili udaljavaju, i razmatra se šta to znači za njihova mesta u svetu.

Exploring the Effects of Data Augmentation for Drivable Area Segmentation
Authors: Bhuiya Srinjoy , Kumar Ayushman , Sen Sankalok
Published: January 2023

The real-time segmentation of drivable areas plays a vital role in accomplishing autonomous perception in cars. Recently there have been some rapid strides in the development of image segmentation models using deep learning. However, most of the advancements have been made in model architecture design. In solving any supervised deep learning problem related to segmentation, the success of the model that one builds depends upon the amount and quality of input training data we use for that model. This data should contain well-annotated varied images for better working of the segmentation model. Issues like this pertaining to annotations in a dataset can lead the model to conclude with overwhelming Type I and II errors in testing and validation, causing malicious issues when trying to tackle real world problems. To address this problem and to make our model more accurate, dynamic, and robust, data augmentation comes into usage as it helps in expanding our sample training data and making it better and more diversified overall. Hence, in our study, we focus on investigating the benefits of data augmentation by analyzing pre-existing image datasets and performing augmentations accordingly. Our results show that the performance and robustness of existing state of the art (or SOTA) models can be increased dramatically without any increase in model complexity or inference time. The augmentations decided on and used in this paper were decided only after thorough research of several other augmentation methodologies and strategies and their corresponding effects that are in widespread usage today. All our results are being reported on the widely used Cityscapes Dataset.

The study employed the Explanatory Sequential design of the Mixed-Methods approach to investigate the factors that affect female students’ performance in mathematics. Stratified and Simple Random Sampling techniques were used to sample three hundred and fifty-six (356) participants from four different Senior High Schools within the Northern Region to participate in the survey while 12 key informants were selected using the Expert Purposive Sampling technique for key informant interviews. Questionnaires and interview guides were the main instruments used for data collection. Inferential statistics were used to analyse the quantitative data while inductive thematic analysis was used in analysing the qualitative data. The results of the analyses showed that gender stereotypes, the socio-economic status of parents, self-motivation by the female students, the social environment in which the female students find themselves and teacher efficacy were the main factors affecting female students’ performance in mathematics.

Authors: Christian Mbamaonyeukwu Nwaneri
Published: January 2023

The study investigates the students’ awareness of the career prospects in music education in secondary schools in Kogi State Senatorial Zone. To carry out the study, three (3) research questions are designed for data collection, while two (2) null hypotheses formulated and tested in the study. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) students is used as representatives of the population sample. The instrument to be used for data collection is questionnaire on the awareness of students on the career prospects in music education in Kogi State. The statistical weighted mean is used to analyze/answer the research questions; for testing of the null hypothesis, Z test is used. The researcher is optimistic that following an investigation into the awareness of students of the career prospects in music education in secondary schools in Kogi State, the secondary schools in Kogi State will be aware of teaching/instructing as a career prospect in music education though many do not opt for it. This investigation fully creates awareness that composing music is a career prospect in music education. They are fully aware that performance is a career prospect in music except on the aspect of being a concert performer. They are aware of employment with the media/music industry as a career prospect in music. However, some are not aware that working in the television/radio houses as music presenter or newscaster is a career prospect in music. They are fully aware of establishing a private music venture/business as a prospect in music education as a career, though not usually feasible due to huge financial involvement. There is no significant difference between the awareness of the urban and rural secondary school in Kogi State on the career prospect in music education. There is a significant difference between the female and male secondary school students in Kogi State on their awareness of the career prospects in music education. The findings had a lot of implications which were briefly discussed later. Therefore, based on these findings and their implications, recommendations are made followed by suggestions for further studies, summary and conclusion.

Authors: Camilli Gregory , Wegner Judith Welch , Gallagher Ann
Published: January 2023

Using results from surveys conducted in 2003 and 2018, we examined the perceived importance attributed to a set of specific tasks taught by faculty in required law school courses, with each questionnaire item in the survey corresponding to a task that describes a particular competency, such as critical reading. In this study, the results from two surveys completed by instructors of required law school courses are reported for a set of survey tasks representing competencies that regularly appear as topics in the legal education literature. We asked survey respondents to indicate the importance of each set of tasks for success in such courses. While one goal was to identify the competencies perceived as important by the faculty in required courses, another goal was to identify which competencies are becoming more or less important over time.
Oedipus in the times of Covid
Authors: Parkyn Charlotte
Published: January 2023

The tragedies of fifth-century Athens have frequently been used as a mouthpiece for social commentary. It is a genre that many directors and playwrights, particularly during times of uncertainty, societal change or devastation, have returned to time and again for inspiration. During the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of theatre companies have looked towards the dramas of the ancient Greeks to help their audiences make sense of the worrying and isolating situation they found themselves in. One tragedy in particular seemed most fitting for this collective experience: Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. In this paper, I will explore why this tragedy appealed during the Covid-19 world crisis and how two separate theatre companies - Theater of War Productions, a professional group working in the field of applied drama; and Rickmansworth Players, a small amateur theatre group - used the play to curate cathartic discussions with the communities they engage with.
The Unsettled Church and State: The Case of Shincheonji and Covid-19 in South Korea
Authors: Briggs Mary
Published: January 2023

In February of 2020, news outlets around the world ran stories about how a new millenarian Christian church called The Shincheonji Church of Jesus was at the center of an outbreak of Covid-19 in the South Korean city of Daegu. The South Korean public demanded that the Shincheonji Church of Jesus (hereon referred to as Shincheonji) be held accountable for this public health crisis. Politicians and church leaders swiftly condemned the church and vowed to punish its leaders. Before the church’s connections to South Korea’s Covid-19 epidemic, Shincheonji had been a source of anxiety within South Korea, particularly in the Protestant community. In this paper, I approach the Covid-19 epidemic as an entry point to identify and examine one of these anxieties. By discussing the anxiety about Shincheonji’s success as a millenarian Christian movement, I will demonstrate how Shincheonji is an unsettling force to the South Korean state and its Protestant community.

Published: January 2023

Aim: To compare the effects of balance training on trunk control and postural stability in patients with sub-acute stroke Methods: A randomized control trial study was carried out with a total of 60 stroke patients. Both males and females, aged above 40 years, were able to stand for at least 5 minutes without any support, and patients on grades 2, 3, and 4 on a scale of functional mobility were included in the study. Each group has a session of training for 40 minutes, 3 times per week for 6 weeks Berg Balance Scale was used for assessment. The valuation was done at baseline 3rd week and last 6th weeks. After 6 weeks of treatment, significant progress was recorded on Berg Balance Scale in both groups. BMI and nutritional status of the study population were also assessed. Results: The p-value of the balance error scoring system after the 6th week of treatment was (P=0.004) while at berg balance scale after the 6th week was (0.001), In group B, the p-value of the balance error scoring system after the 6th week of treatment was (P=0.001) while at berg balance scale after 6th week were (0.001), which showed significant results after 6th week of treatment. The p-value of the balance error scoring system between groups was at baseline 0.16 while after the 6th week of treatment was 0.001 and the p-value of the berg balance scale between the group was at baseline 0.764 while after the 6th week of treatment was 0.04. Both levels of the assessment indicated significant improvement in-between groups. In control group A (p=0.004) however, in the experimental group (p= <0.001), BESS also showed substantial development in both the experimental and control group with p-value (p<0.001) for each group. The results of the study population suggest that there is a strong relationship between obesity and stroke. Conclusion: This study evaluated that task-oriented balance training with sensory input indicated more progress in balance coordination and postural stability as compared to task-oriented balance exercises without sensory integration in patients with stroke Keywords: BMI, Postural Stability, Rehabilitation, Stroke

Background: Carious lesions are the record frequent oral health problem among school going kids everywhere the world. In the deciduous teeth, dental caries is the tenth most communal oral problem that affects about nine percent of the population worldwide. Aim: To report impact on quality of life of exposed carious lesion as reason for tooth extraction in 7-16 years children. Study design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Place and duration of study: Sardar Begum Dental College and Peshawar Dental College, Peshawar from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Methodology: Three hundred and eight children aged 7-16 years of both genders were enrolled from two dental teaching hospitals of Peshawar. Children were examined clinically at a dental chair. A radiograph advised by the clinician was used to diagnose number of teeth having exposed carious lesions that are causing pain or extracted/filled because of pain were recorded for each participant in a structured data collection sheet. Child oral health impact short form was used to record oral health related quality of children. Results: There were 182(59.1%) males and 126(40.9%) females and mean age was 10.0±2.8 years. The correlation between OHRQoL and number of teeth with exposed carious lesions that are causing pain, filled or have been extracted because of pain is 0.610, which indicates positive correlation, as lesion increases the QoL of an individual will decrease. Conclusion: The positive correlations between OHRQoL and number of teeth having had exposed carious lesions that are causing pain, filled or have been extracted because of pain. It also signifies the negative impact of exposed carious lesion, over oral health related quality of life of 7-16 years old, visiting two tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar. Key words: Quality of life (QoL), Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL), Peshawar

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge and training among junior doctors is very important as the junior doctor is mostly the first one to attend the patients in emergency room. Unfortunately, they don’t have enough knowledge. Healthcare professionals need to have hands-on practice regularly in order to retain the BLS skills. Aim: To determine the frequency of adequate knowledge of basic life support among Post graduate residents. Method:A Descriptive, Cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2017 to May 2018 in the Children’s Hospital Lahoreand from June 2022to August 2022 in Government Kot Khawaja Saeed Teaching Hospital, Lahore. A total of 96doctors of all 4 years of postgraduate training program of either genderwere included. A questionnaire was prepared. It included demographic data and BLS knowledge assessment. It was distributed to participants who met the inclusion criteria. It did not contain the name of the participant and confidentiality was maintained. Questionnaire was collected back after the completion and knowledge score was noted as described in questionnaire. Score >8 was taken as adequate knowledge. Results: Mean age was 28.76 ± 2.29 years. Out of 96 participants, 70 were from Children Hospital and 26 from Govt. Kot Khawaja Saeed Teaching Hospital KEMU, 50(52.08%) were males and 46(47.92%) were females. The male to female ratio is 1.1:1. Mean time duration since BLS course attended was 9.12±4.54 months. Mean score was 11.78±3.98. This study has shown frequency of adequate knowledge of basic life support among pediatric residents in 57(59.38%) participants and remaining 39(40.62%) participants showed no adequate knowledge. Conclusion: It is concluded that frequency of adequate knowledge of basic life support among postgraduate residents is good. Keywords: Basic life support (BLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support, residents, adequate knowledge.

La recuperación del turismo internacional en España tras la pandemia
Authors: García Esteban Coral , Gómez Loscos Ana , Martín Machuca César
Published: January 2023

Motivación:

Los indicadores de turismo internacional en España consolidan su recuperación hacia los niveles previos a la pandemia, tras la eliminación de la práctica totalidad de las restricciones a la movilidad internacional. En este contexto, cabe analizar los cambios observados en el origen y en el comportamiento de los turistas.

Ideas principales:

• Los niveles de afluencia turística de 2019 todavía no se han recuperado en su totalidad, debido, principalmente, a la debilidad que mantiene el turismo de larga distancia, en particular el asiático.

• No obstante, los ingresos turísticos alcanzan ya sus niveles precrisis, impulsados, en parte, por una mayor atracción de turismo con una mayor capacidad de gasto, tal y como reflejaría el aumento del peso relativo del alojamiento hotelero de mayor calidad.

• Las expectativas para los próximos meses son de cierta cautela, ante la incertidumbre por el empeoramiento de las perspectivas económicas y la escalada inflacionista. A largo plazo, la evolución del turismo internacional está condicionada por la capacidad del sector para continuar mejorando la calidad de su oferta.

Introducción: La capacidad funcional está disminuida en personas con Enfermedades Cardiovasculares y Enfermedades Respiratorias Crónicas. Estas enfermedades también han sido asociadas a disfunción cognitiva. El estudio examina la eficacia de un programa de rehabilitación cardiopulmonar en la recuperación de la capacidad funcional, y analiza si sujetos con enfermedades cardiopulmonares sufren disfunción cognitiva. Materiales y métodos: Participaron 50 personas adultas con instrucción media-alta que completaron un programa de rehabilitación cardiopulmonar de entre 3 y 6 meses basado en educación física, educación nutricional, promoción de hábitos saludables y manejo de medicación. Se evaluó la capacidad funcional con el índice Duke al iniciar y finalizar el programa. Se administró también, por única vez, al iniciar el programa, pruebas de memoria y de lenguaje, comparando los valores obtenidos con estudios normativos argentinos. Se analizó los datos con test Wilcoxon, correlaciones bivariadas y regresión lineal. Resultados: La capacidad funcional aumentó significativamente al finalizar el programa. De todos modos el valor Duke pos- programa sugiere que la capacidad funcional de los pacientes continúa afectada. Por otro lado, una prueba de memoria explicó el 10,8% de la varianza en el índice Duke, y no hay hallazgos de disfunción cognitiva. Conclusión: La capacidad funcional de los pacientes cardiopulmonares mejoró con el programa de rehabilitación, aunque dicha mejora, es clínicamente insuficiente. Mejor rendimiento de memoria predijo mayor capacidad funcional, por lo que se sugiere añadir talleres de estimulación cognitiva a los programas de rehabilitación cardiopulmonares. Esta muestra con enfermedad cardiopulmonar no presenta disfunción cognitiva, probablemente por su elevada reserva cognitiva.
Aplicación de viñetas cinematográficas a la docencia en Salud Mental

Published: January 2023

En este trabajo se presentan algunas ideas en torno a las relaciones posibles entre cine y psicopatología. Para llevar adelante esta tarea se describen los resultados de una experiencia realizada en el IUSAM-ApdeBA donde se explora un modo particular de contar historias de pacientes que es el relato cinematográfico.Una de las tantas variedades posibles de comunicar casos clínicos, además de las clásicas forma escrita y la oral, es el formato audiovisual. Es sabido que no resulta fácil encontrar buenas historias de pacientes, más aun en estos tiempos donde las posibilidades de comunicar casos reales se ha visto restringido por normativas ético-legales. Se ha podido observar que las viñetas clínicas audiovisuales extraídas de los relatos cinematográficos pueden resultar una herramienta de gran utilidad para fines de discusión, intercambio y docencia en psicopatología.
Prescripciones off-label en psiquiatría infanto-juvenil. ¿Por qué, cuándo y cómo?
Authors: Iveli María Florencia , Monti Mariano , Benito María Eugenia , Iveli Pablo
Published: January 2023

En la población pediátrica y particularmente en el ámbito de la psiquiatría infanto-juvenil, las indicaciones off-label representan una regla más que una excepción. Esta práctica puede ocurrir cuando un fármaco se indica en una patología, rango terapéutico, edad, vía de administración o duración distinta a las que se describen en el prospecto. Argentina, a diferencia de otros países, no tiene una regulación expresa en relación a la prescripción off-label. Por lo tanto, la indicación de un medicamento de manera diferente a la aprobada por la Administración Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnología Médica (ANMAT) no posee un marco normativo en lo referente a las condiciones que deben ser cumplidas al momento de ese acto médico. Si bien el uso off-label no se encuentra prohibido, conlleva un riesgo adicional. Con el objetivo de fomentar la investigación en pediatría, las agencias reguladoras como la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) y la European Medicines Agency (EMA) han introducido reformas legislativas. En el siguiente trabajo se revisarán las normativas vigentes de las agencias reguladores que competen a la población pediátrica y se analizarán criterios que orienten al médico al uso racional de la farmacoterapia off-label.
