Authors: Berli Marcelo Eduardo , Brondino Agustín , Di Paolo José
Published: July 2018

En la ciudad de Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz, Argentina, se está construyendo un edificio de altura que incluye elementos de arquitectura sustentable, eficiencia energética y confort logrado en base a la utilización de recursos naturales. Particularmente, un diseño de doble fachada en los frentes que dan al exterior para lograr una cámara de aire que impida la transferencia térmica desde el exterior al interior en verano y al revés en invierno. Este trabajo presenta un estudio numérico de la evaluación de la performance térmica de la cavidad interpuesta en la doble fachada del edificio, para distintas condiciones climáticas, considerando dos alternativas de diseño: cámara de aire cerrada y cámara de aire conectada con el exterior. Ambos casos se comparan con la situación de inexistencia de la cámara, cuya transferencia de energía térmica se constituye en el caso patrón. Los resultados muestran que para las condiciones de verano, la cavidad con conexión al exterior sería la más recomendable, mientras que para el invierno, la cavidad cerrada es más apta para el ahorro de energía.

Authors: Tahiru Mukaramatu , Kamalludeen Rosemaliza
Published: July 2018

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have a considerable potential impact on teaching, learning, and traditional higher educational structures, according to many types of research. Several higher education institutions either through the specific development of MOOCs or the integration of existing MOOCs into their curriculum are swiftly implementing them on their campuses. To examine the MOOCs phenomenon more closely, this study explored the significant difference between MOOCs users and non-users in their intention to use MOOCs for academic purposes. It again explored the influence of awareness knowledge, how-to knowledge, perceived usefulness, actual usage, and attitude on intention to use MOOCs for academic purposes. The sample consisted of 190 postgraduate students. The analysis procedure made use of independent sample t-test and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal a significant difference between users and non-users of MOOCs in their intentions to use MOOCs for academic purposes. It again indicated that all predictor variables significantly contribute to the prediction of intention to use MOOCs for academic purposes except how-to knowledge and actual usage. It also reveals that students’ intention to use MOOCs for academic purposes is raised by the perceived usefulness which reflects in their attitude. Awareness knowledge, in turn, incline the perceived usefulness of MOOCs to students signifying that a substantial amount of knowledge of MOOCs is a precursor to a higher level of intention to use.

RESUMO: Melina Agresta é legendista há oito anos. Nesse período, já legendou filmes, séries, documentários, entre outros vídeos, para clientes como Netflix, HBO e Universal, fazendo uso de softwares em plataformas Cloud. Na entrevista concedida à revista Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia, a legendista fala um pouco sobre sua experiência profissional e faz avaliações críticas sobre essa profissão. Entre os pontos destacados, Melina admite que o tradutor de legendas é um profissional criativo e visível, cujo estilo pode ser impresso nas legendas a partir da escolha de palavras, do registro linguístico adotado e dos procedimentos utilizados para traduzir expressões para a cultura alvo. A legendista afirma ainda que, se por um lado a legendagem propicia ao tradutor um trabalho dinâmico, por outro os prazos e as normas a serem seguidos dificultam a atuação desse profissional.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: tradução; legendista; legendagem. ABSTRACT:Melina Agresta has been a subtitler for eight years.

In the interview given to the journal Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia, the subtitler writes about her professional experience and makes critical evaluations on this profession. Among her highlights, Melina admits that the subtitles translator is a creative and visible professional, whose style can be fingerprinted on his/her subtitles through the choice of words, the linguistic register adopted and the procedures used to render expressions in the target culture. Furthermore, Melina adds that, although subtitling is a dynamic experience, it likewise hinders the subtitler’s performance due to strict deadlines and norms.KEYWORDS: translation; subtitler; subtitling.
Elaboração de um glossário de tradução utilizando software livre: um estudo de viabilidade a partir de textos-fonte em japonês
Authors: Crabbe Stephen , Heath David , Barcellos (tradutora) Carolina
Published: July 2018

RESUMO: Neste artigo, nós (a) explicamos como os tradutores podem se beneficiar com a criação de seus próprios glossários; e (b) avaliamos a facilidade com que um glossário de tradução pode ser criado a partir de texto-fonte em japonês usando software gratuito. Como mostra nosso estudo, um grande obstáculo decorre do fato de que o texto em japonês não inclui espaços, devendo ser segmentado, ou seja, dividido em “pedaços utilizáveis” (FAHEY, 2016), antes que um concordanciador (no nosso caso, AntConc 3.2.4) possa ser empregado para analisar esse texto e criar um glossário. Segmentamos nosso texto em japonês usando um software (ChaSen 2.1) projetado para esse fim. O resultado dessa operação foi problemático, o que nos obrigou a desenvolver soluções trabalhosas e demoradas. Nosso glossário (ver Apêndice 1) é adequado ao propósito que motivou a sua elaboração, mas as dificuldades enfrentadas no processo de criação colocam à prova a viabilidade do uso de softwares livres para criar glossários de tradução a partir de textos escritos em japonês.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: criação de glossário da tradução; texto em japonês; concordanciadores; segmentação de texto; AntConc 3.2.4; ChaSen 2.1.ABSTRACT: In this paper, we (a) explain how translators can benefit from creating their own glossaries; and (b) evaluate how easily a translation glossary can be created from Japanese source text using free software applications. As our study shows, a major hurdle arises from the fact that Japanese text does not include spaces; it must be segmented, i.e., broken into “usable chunks” (Fahey, 2016), before a concordancer (in our case, AntConc 3.2.4) can be used to analyze it for glossary creation. We segmented our Japanese text using an application (ChaSen 2.1) designed for this purpose. This application’s output was problematic, forcing us to devise workarounds that became labour-intensive and time-consuming. Our completed glossary (shown in Appendix 1) is fit for purpose, but the complications in the process of creating it call into question the feasibility of using free software to make translation glossaries from text written in Japanese.KEYWORDS: translation glossary creation; Japanese text; concordancers; text segmentation; AntConc 3.2.4; ChaSen 2.1.
Chope dos Mortos – a tradução de jogos de palavras em um estudo direcionado pelo corpus / Beer Hall of the Dead – the translation of puns in a corpus-driven study
Authors: Silva Nilson Roberto Barros da
Published: July 2018

RESUMO: Este trabalho discute a tradução de jogos de palavras (JPs) na direção português-inglês, mais especificamente o JP intitulado ‘Chope dos Mortos’, que faz parte do romance O xangô de Baker Street (SOARES, 1995). O artigo é o recorte de nossa tese de doutorado, e tem como objetivo analisar a tradução do JP citado para a língua inglesa. Utiliza-se da abordagem teórico-metodológica da Linguística de Corpus para selecionar o JP como dado a ser analisado na pesquisa e identifica-se como um estudo direcionado pelo corpus, conforme discutido por Tognini-Bonelli (2001). A análise baseia-se principalmente nas estratégias de tradução de JPs apresentadas por Delabastita (1996) e considera, dentre outras, as postulações de Raskin (1985) e Attardo (1994). Como resultado, verifica-se que as estratégias de tradução usadas para recriar (traduzir) o JP em inglês são compatíveis com a estratégia JP → JP, em que um JP é traduzido por outro na língua-alvo, sendo permitidas diferenças em termos de estrutura formal, estrutura semântica ou função textual.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: tradução; jogos de palavras; Linguística de Corpus. ABSTRACT: This study discusses the translation of puns in the Portuguese-English direction, more specifically the pun 'Beer hall of the dead', which is part of the novel O xangô de Baker Street (SOARES, 1995), translated into English as 'A samba for Sherlock'. The article derives from our doctoral thesis, and aims to analyze the translation of the pun into the English language. It uses the theoretical-methodological approach of Corpus Linguistics to select puns as data to be analyzed and is characterized as a 'corpus-driven approach' as discussed by Tognini-Bonelli (2001). The analysis is based mainly on the strategies of pun translation presented by Delabastita (1996) and takes into account theoretical conceptions of Raskin (1985) and Attardo (1994). As a result, it verifies that the translation strategies used to recreate the pun in English are compatible with the PUN → PUN strategy, in which a pun is translated by another one in the target language, being allowed differences in terms of formal structure, semantic structure, or textual function.KEYWORDS: translation; puns; Corpus Linguistics.

Published: July 2018

The approach for the quick and efficient production ofpolyclonal antibodies tothe target antigen alpha-synuclein has been proposed. Two methods have been employed to purify specific rabbit polyclonal antibodies against recombinant human alpha-synuclein, produced by subcutaneous immunization with complete Freund's adjuvant. It was shown that purification on CNBr-activated Sepharose with immobilized alpha-synuclein resulted in antibody preparation with rabbit serum histidine-rich glycoprotein as a contaminant. Two-stage antibody purification procedure first on Sepharose with immobilized protein G, and then on alpha-synuclein immobilized column helps to avoid contamination and to obtain homogenous antibody preparation. Antibodies recognize different conformations of alpha-synuclein and can be used in a variety of immunochemical approaches, including immunocytochemistry.

Authors: Miftachudin Miftachudin
Published: July 2018

Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) or in another word collaborating computer with the classroom component to enhance language learning has a long history of pedagogical development since 1950 until nowadays which started with the simple program into microcomputers. It covers all learning processes using computers which advance the language skills of the learners. In the language courses, CALL is implemented by using several applications but this essay will solely mention 8 applications out of many. The study cases prove that those implementations offer several great values toward academic life. However, in order to achieve successful implementation, the pre-conditions or requirements of the CALL implementation must be fulfilled. In Indonesia, the advent of some hindrances such as cost, teacher trainings are the main issues to fulfil those requirements. Alternatively, several recommendations are proposed to refute the problems such as schools and local government cooperation, customisation learning technology and peer school teaching. Keywords:  CALL; Language Learning; Elementary and High Schools

Editorial Special Issue: Urban Freight, land use planning and public administration strategies
Authors: Gatta Valerio , Marcucci Edoardo , Dablanc Laetitia
Published: July 2018

Well-being and economic growth are strictly correlated. Cities are the engines of an innovation-based economy where research and new ideas are the core input of production. Urbanisation is becoming synonymous of economic growth. People flock into cities, both in the developed and developing world, since here is where wealth is, where high quality services are available and life standards are comparatively higher with respect to other places. However, one has to acknowledge that growth also produces undesired negative effects. In fact, cities are net importers. They need to acquire consumption/intermediate goods, export production and get rid of waste. In other words, the existence of a city relies on a transportation system providing the necessary services for its functioning. The typical urban transportation system heavily depends on passenger and freight movements by road. While this dependency is, in some cases, less relevant for passenger transport, most of freight moved in, out, within and through a city relies on motorized road transportation. Trucks and vans are responsible for congestion, polluting emissions, accidents, noise, visual intrusion and stench. All these negative effects are concentrated where many citizens live and, consequently, produce relevant economic (e.g. time lost), environmental (e.g. air quality), and social (e.g. segregation) impacts. Cities to be attractive, sustainable and thriving need an efficient freight transportation system. Fast changing consumption patterns with the rise of e-commerce and home deliveries also point out to another dimension of cities: their need to adapt quickly to economic trends.

The papers in this special issue address, from alternative points of view and using different methodological approaches, some of the relevant and critical issues pertaining to land use planning and administration strategies in modern cities with respect to the urban freight sector.
Strategies to Express Time in a Tenseless Language: Turkish Sign Language (TİD)
Authors: KARABÜKLÜ Serpil
Published: July 2018

The studies on how time is expressed in TİD have different results: Gökgöz (2009) proposes that head nod is a tense morpheme while Arık (2012) and Dikyuva et al. (2015) claim that TİD is a morphologically tenseless language. This study shows that TİD is a morphologically tenseless language based on the occurrence of head nod with different verb types. It is also proposed that tense of a sentence is expressed via time adverbials and shown which syntactic positions time adverbials occur in. Lastly, timelines in TİD, which are only reported on in a few studies, are described based on the placement of time adverbials in the signing space. It is also shown that different time spans require different timelines to be used.
Agreement Verbs in Turkish Sign Language (TİD) from the Perspective of Templatic Morphology
Authors: Makaroğlu Bahtiyar , İşsever Selçuk
Published: July 2018

One of the peculiarities of sign languages is that verbs are listed in the lexicon according to agreement types that are categorized by tripartite verb classification of Padden (1983, 1988, 1990): (i) plain verbs, (ii) agreement verbs, and (iii) spatial verbs. However, Padden’s classical classification does not clearly present the mutually exclusive criteria between the verb types in that transitions between the types have been frequently observed. In this study we aim to show that verb types are related to the combination of roots with specific verbal templates within TİD data, by following the view that SLs are similar to Semitic languages in exhibiting morphological [root + template] combination (Liddell, 1984; Fernald & Lillo-Martin, 2006). We analyze the root as an underspecified lexical and phonological core that becomes a pronounceable/signable verb in combining with verbal patterns/templates in the lexicalization process and suggest that TİD has six different verbal templates which can be characterized in terms of agreement.
The Status of Household Food Insecurity: The Case of West Belesa, North Gondar, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Authors: Yehuala Sisay , Melak Degsew , Mekuria Wuletaw
Published: July 2018

The vast majority of extraordinarily poor households live in rural areas that are heavily reliant on rain fed agriculture. In Ethiopia, the Amhara region in particular, has been prone to much suffering in the past, and was one of the hardest hit areas. Different projects and programs were designed and implemented to reduce household food insecurity. However, the effect of the program whether household food insecurity is reduced or not was not yet assessed in these areas. This is therefore, to investigate the current food insecurity status of different households and the determinant factors that affect household food insecurity in the study area. A multi stage sampling method was employed to select 120 respondents from West Belesa Woreda and structured survey questionnaire was designed to collect quantitative data. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and econometric model. From the study it was found out that about 35.8% of the respondent households were food insecure and the remaining 64.2% of them were food secure that indicated the reduction of food insecurity status of the people in the study area. Among the different variables hypothesized to affect household food insecurity; family size, total income, distance from market, total livestock holding and losses of crops were found to be significant variables to affect household food insecurity. It can be concluded that because of the intervention of many projects and programs the food insecurity status of the woreda was reduced to 35.8 %. This indicates that the efforts done by the government and non-governmental organizations before the study year were somehow successful. Therefore, Governmental and Non-governmental organizations still have to work more to minimize the food insecurity status of West Belesa in particular and drought prone woredas of the region in general

Thus, it is proposed to cover this vast field of applications that is the swell on the harbor dike.
Analysis of Electronic Payment Systems in Ghana - A Case Study of Mobile Payment System
Authors: Kwadzo Francis Agbenyegah , Adroe Regina Kafui , Asante Dr. Michael
Published: July 2018

Mobile payment is an electronic payment made through a mobile device. As the number of mobile phone subscribers in Ghana increases, so does the market for mobile money services. The majority of Ghanaians lack any formal bank account. An estimated 80 percent of Ghanaians are “unbanked” – meaning they conduct their transactions outside the banking sector with no access to financial services. Products like “mobile money,” that enable safe and secure money transfers without the use of a bank account, could have a major impact on this unserved segment of the population. Mobile money gives anyone with a mobile phone the ability to transfer money, make cash payments and conduct other financial transactions over the phone. Currently, there are four mobile money payment systems in Ghana, namely, MTN mobile money, Vodafone (VF) cash, Tigo cash and Airtel money. For an effective operation of these systems, Privacy, Traceability, Cost of Transaction, and Simplicity of the Processes involved are of much interest. The study examined the loopholes in the current mobile payment systems and proposed a framework to address the loopholes such as: Entering of information on next of kin into the system during registration, acceptance of year of birth as PIN, transactional PIN decrypted, no entering of a Valid ID number into the system, no provision for security word during token cash out, no provision for guarantor information, no provision for BoG permit number, no provision for police clearance number, and data in transit not encrypted.

A Linguistic Analysis of Posuban as a Material Culture: The Case of Amamoma, Apewosika and Kwaprow
Authors: Mensah Catherine Ekua
Published: July 2018

The purpose of the study was to find out the interpretations of colours and symbols on the Posuban as well as interpretations of the inscriptions on Posuban as an object of material culture and identity. The study employed a qualitative research design. Observation and interview were the instruments used to collect data for the study. From the linguistic perspective of colours, drawings/images and inscriptions it was revealed that, Posuban tells a lot about Fante peoples’ history, beliefs, values and their character which remain otherwise inaccessible except through impersonal records. It was also revealed that Posuban is emblematic, iconic and indexical. It is therefore recommended that, more studies should be done on Posuban. This is because, today, Posuban are merely considered as shrines but there are a lot of scholarly information that could be obtained from this Posuban for studies in so many disciplines

The assertion of the importance of a more comprehensive measurement method that traditional measurements we know so far is very difficult to measure the intangible assets. Therefore, a performance measurement system that is able to measure the value of the intangible assets is required to estimate and deliver an economic success of the organization. Implementation of a balanced scorecard supported by the correct reporting system will support the realization of good governance. This research uses qualitative approach with Case Study research strategy.

The result of the research shows that to increase the strategic role as public service provider institution with excellent service system and mechanism requires uniformity between performance measurement result with actual condition of office / institution performance or government organization. As a method of measuring the performance of the balanced scorecard framework is perceived to be relatively comprehensive, coherent, balanced and measurable compared to the measurement of AKIP performance in SAKIP, therefore the balance scorecard framework is then perceived as necessary for government agencies such as SAMSAT to be implemented in office performance measurement. Office performance measurement using the balance scorecard is not intended to replace the existing LAKIP framework within SAKIP, but rather an attempt to provide input within the AKIP framework by including key performance indicators that have not been considered in the SAKIP framework.

Family planning provides individuals and couples the ability to adequately space each pregnancy. Contraceptive uptake is still low in developing countries. This study aims to determine the proportion of women with unmet need for family planning in plateau State.

Methods and materials: This was a cross sectional study, employing quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 300 study participants across the three senatorial zones in Plateau State. A semi structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to obtain information from study participants while a Focussed Group Discussion (FGD) guide was used to conduct FGDs among women. Data was analysed using SPSS version 23.

Results: The mean age of respondents was 25.4 years. The proportion of women currently using any form of contraceptive was 36%. Fifty-six percent of the respondents had unmet need for family planning. Educational status and parity were statistically significantly associated with having unmet need for family planning. In the FDGs most women of lower parity narrated that they would like to limit and space their pregnancies but were not using family planning commodities for fear of infertility, back ache, headache and complication such as convulsion in pregnancy.

Conclusion: The use of family planning commodities is low and unmet need for family planning high in Plateau State. Interventions such as health education targeting mothers may reduce the proportion of women with unmet need for family planning. This will enable women adequately space and limit their pregnancies and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

Key words: family planning, unmet need, limiting pregnancy, spacing pregnancy.
