Administración del Riesgo Financiero en las Pymes de Ecuador
Authors: Fernández Solís Mario , Fernández Ronquillo Mario , Lasso Davila Wisin
Published: November 2024

El artículo aborda la gestión de riesgos financieros en las pequeñas y medianas empresas de Guayaquil, Ecuador, resaltando la alarmante tasa de fracaso del 90% en este sector en los primeros cinco años. El objetivo principal es analizar la situación actual de la administración de riesgos financieros en las pymes de la ciudad de Guayaquil. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto, combinando métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos para la recolección de datos. El estudio se centró en observar y medir la situación financiera de 12 pymes en los sectores de transporte y almacenamiento. Se calcularon índices clave como liquidez, endeudamiento y rotación de inventario, para evaluar el comportamiento frente al riesgo financiero. Los resultados revelaron que muchas pymes carecen de un control financiero adecuado, lo que incrementa su vulnerabilidad a riesgos como el de liquidez y endeudamiento. Los índices calculados mostraron que un número significativo de empresas operaba por debajo del umbral aceptable, indicando problemas serios en su capacidad para cumplir obligaciones a corto plazo. Se discute la falta de conocimiento financiero y la ausencia de departamentos especializados como factores críticos que contribuyen a la ineficacia en la gestión del riesgo. La investigación sugiere que la implementación de un marco estructurado para la gestión de riesgos podría ayudar a las pymes a anticipar problemas y tomar decisiones más informadas. El estudio concluye que una gestión financiera robusta es esencial para la supervivencia de las pymes en Guayaquil

Skin cancer prevention: a systematic review of the efficacy of clinical trial-based interventions
Authors: Chiesa Paulina Oriana
Published: November 2024

Skin cancer is one of the most common malignancies and its incidence continues to increase worldwide, especially in areas of high ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This systematic review highlights that an effective preventive approach combines sun protection, education, and workplace policies. Advanced sunscreens with DNA repair complexes are useful in reducing precursor lesions such as actinic keratosis. The implementation of workplace policies that provide protective equipment and create shaded areas is especially effective for outdoor workers. Educational programs in schools and on-the-job training encourage sun protection practices from childhood and in work settings, although their effectiveness depends on demographic and cultural factors. It is recommended to tailor interventions to each population and explore their long-term sustainability, as well as to evaluate the economic impact of these policies to achieve effective skin cancer prevention.

Commercial superconducting windings must meet traditional technical requirements for electrical equipment. Among the many thousands of superconducting windings manufactured over the past six decades, not all have achieved the rated current, not all are reliably protected, and the controllability of the windings is almost never remembered. Using the example of the speculative design of the HTS winding, approaches to the implementation of these important requirements for commercial HTS windings are illustrated.
Effect of the Type and Amount of Sedimented Sand and Clay Dust on the Energy of the Solar Panel
Authors:   Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Adrar, Adrar, Algeria, Abdelhak Souddi , Abdelkader Fidjah ,   Faculty of Mechanics, University of Djelfa, Djelfa, Algeria
Published: November 2024

Background: The application of solar energy utilization in the world to generate electricity is established. The use of solar panels to generate electricity has witnessed steady scientific progress and plays a significant role in confronting environmental pollution. For solar panels, the efficiency depends to a large extent on the relationship between the solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface and the dust layer covering the panels.In the case of a solar panel collecting a large amount of dust in its working place, the solar radiation is first diluted through the dust layer before it reaches the panel. This is the main reason for the decrease in the panel’s efficiency. Objectives: It is of utmost importance to study the effects of dust on the design of photovoltaic devices. The potential power reduction of panels due to dust is a pressing issue, with immediate consequences for the operation and number of panels in large solar power plants. This work aims to urgently study the effect of dust accumulation on the front surface of solar panels. Methods: The experiment is being conducted on two different solar panels: the first is monocrystalline with a power of 200 watts, and the second is polycrystalline with a power of 280 watts. Two types of dust – sand and clay – are being used in quantities ranging from 5 g to 25 g. Results: The introduction of sand dust led to a substantial decrease in the energy output of the monocrystalline solar panel, ranging from 3.3% to 7.5 %. Similarly, the use of clay dust resulted in a significant energy drop of 4% to 8%.While the energy of the polycrystalline plate decreased between 2.5% to 6.7% when using sand dust and between 3% to 7.1% when using clay dust. Conclusion: Our research uncovers the negative impact of dust on the efficiency of solar panels, particularly in the case of monocrystalline panels and those exposed to clay dust. This opens up avenues for further research and exploration in the field of solar technology.

Derechos y deberes de la propiedad en la Constitución Española de 1978. Ordenación urbanista. Instrumentos de ordenación. Intervención en el suelo, en la edificación y en el mercado. Clases de suelo. Suelo urbano. Configuración. Concepto. Naturaleza jurídica y característica
Authors: Peces Morate Jesús Ernesto
Published: November 2024

Después de una breve introducción, se examina el contenido esencial del derecho de propiedad y la reserva de ley para abordar seguidamente los dos principios básicos del ordenamiento urbanístico y el carácter estatutario del dominio del suelo. Se realiza un análisis comparado entre el sistema de transformación del suelo anterior y el establecido por la Ley 8/2007, de 28 de mayo, con el fin de poner de relieve sus identidades y diferencias, dado que éstas son notables, aunque la distinta terminología empleada no debe conducir a equívocos cuando se está ante iguales significados, como ya se apuntó por la jurisprudencia al interpretar algunas normas urbanísticas autonómicas que pueden considerarse un precedente de la nueva Ley del Suelo. Se ha procurado recoger la doctrina jurisprudencial que puede resultar útil para la mejor comprensión del nuevo texto, como la relativa a la aplicabilidad de los preceptos de la Ley básica sobre contratación administrativa. El método utilizado trata de ofrecer una sencilla visión de conjunto del proceso de transformación del suelo desde los sujetos intervinientes, el procedimiento a seguir y las garantías exigibles en beneficio de la comunidad, así como de la protección de los derechos de aquéllos, para terminar con una síntesis de las singularidades más destacables de la vigente Ley del Suelo y su Texto Refundido con un Anexo final que contienen una tabla de concordancias.

Estudio de la expropiación forzosa de los terrenos desde la consideración general del derecho de propiedad, a la luz de los textos jurídicos internacionales más relevantes y de la Constitución española. Se analizan las formas y mecanismos técnicos para llevar a cabo la expropiación, los sujetos intervinientes: administraciones públicas expropiantes, los beneficiarios, el propietario, y el procedimiento expropiatorio, punto en el que merece atención singular la determinación de justiprecio, concepto nuclear en la expropiación forzosa y que ha dado lugar a una sucesiva modificación de los métodos de valoración; en este punto merece particular atención el Jurado Provincial de Expropiación Forzosa. Los intereses del justiprecio, en sus diferentes manifestaciones, así como la retasación y reversión son también objeto de breve estudio.
OS ASPECTOS SOBRE A LEGITIMIDADE DA AÇÃO POLICIAL MILITAR E A RESPONSABILIDADE JUDICIAL: UMA ANÁLISE DA VIOLÊNCIA INSTITUCIONAL E DA IMPUNIDADE
Authors: Vaz Gabriela Hevelin da Silva , Sampaio Gilliard Santos , Souza Rebeca Leite de
Published: November 2024

The present study aimed to analyze aspects related to the legitimacy of military police actions and judicial accountability, focusing on institutional violence and impunity. The research begins by examining how the legitimacy of police actions is constructed and perceived by society, and it further investigates the legal consequences of police actions, especially when they involve abuse of authority or excessive use of force. In this context, it highlights the importance of assessing the legal and ethical boundaries of military police actions and the role of the justice system in holding these actions accountable. For the development of this study, a bibliographic and qualitative methodology was adopted. The analysis was based on existing literature on the topic, including legislation, academic articles, theses, dissertations, and other relevant documents. This approach allowed for an in-depth understanding of the historical, cultural, and institutional processes that influence both police conduct and the judicial system's response in cases of institutional violence.The results indicate that, in many cases, there is a gap between what is established by law and the actual practices on the streets, particularly regarding the use of force and abuses committed by certain security agents. It was observed that impunity in specific cases of police violence generates a perception of distrust in society toward the institutions responsible for enforcing the law, which directly impacts the legitimacy of police actions.
The Interplay between Disordered Sleep and Alzheimer’s Disease: Exploring the Bidirectional Relationship
Authors:   Brittany Katz, Fox Ella
Published: November 2024

The debilitating neurodegenerative condition referred to as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), results in severe cognitive deterioration, including deficits in memory, confusion, and abnormal behaviour. Sleep plays a crucial role in sustaining cognitive health, as it supports brain repair and performs memory consolidation. Complaints of consistently disrupted sleeping habits, such as reduced quality and fragmented sleep, are increasingly recognized as potential risk factors for AD. The fundamental elements of healthy sleep: its structure, oscillations and benefits- then considering how changes in sleep architecture, including alterations in REM and NREM stages, are associated with cognitive decline. Another significant concept is the finding that sleep deprivation is often correlated with increased levels of amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau proteins in the brain, which are two biomarkers of AD pathology and accumulate with disease progression. This review examines the connection between unhealthy sleep patterns during aging and AD development, emphasizing the need for continued research into how improving sleep hygiene could potentially moderate the effects of cognitive deterioration.
Maintenance management strategies for medical equipment in healthcare institutions: a review
Authors: Lin Zhensheng , Kang Jian , Wei Yuhe , Zou Benan
Published: November 2024

A large amount of medical equipment is now extensively utilized in healthcare institutions to assist clinical practitioners in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. And the applications of such advanced and sophisticated medical equipment have greatly improved the quality of patient care, significantly alleviated the sufferings of patients, and facilitated their rehabilitation. Nevertheless, failures and malfunctions of medical equipment have compromised its reliability and effectiveness as well as jeopardizing the safety of patients and clinical staffs. And a majority of the failures can be attributed to the insufficient and inappropriate maintenance. Therefore, it is imperative to implement effective maintenance management to ensure that medical equipment is in its optimal function, and thereby mitigating the clinical risk resulted by adverse events. The presented review mainly discussed the maintenance strategies of medical equipment including corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance and predictive maintenance. In order to replace the fixed-interval of preventive maintenance, we systematically discussed methods to adjust the maintenance period. Additionally, two strategies to predicting future failures of medical equipment through processing and analyzing the maintenance data obtained from the historical maintenance logs and condition data collected by the embedded sensors are elaborated. Besides, the classification and life cycle of medical equipment are also summarized.
Pedagogiska teorier inom forskning om översättarutbildning och översättningsundervisning
Authors: Kivilehto Marja
Published: November 2024

Artikkelin tarkoituksena on pohtia kääntäjänkoulutusta ja kääntämisen opettamista koskevaa tutkimusta. Aihevalinnan motiivina on kysymys siitä, minkälaisia pedagogisia näkemyksiä tutkimuksessa on viime vuosia esiintynyt ja missä määrin tutkimus on uskottavaa ja empiiristen kokeilujen kannalta näyttöön perustuvaa (ks. esim. Sundell & Stensson 2010). Pohdinnan aineistona käytetään kahdessa käännöstieteellisessä lehdessä, Metassa ja Targetissa, julkaistuja kääntäjänkoulutusta ja kääntämisen opettamista koskevia artikkeleita. Vuosina 2005–2010 julkaistuista artikkeleista 10 valikoitui analysoitaviksi. Analyysista kävi ilmi muun muassa seuraavaa. Ensinnäkin kääntäjänkoulutusta käsittelevässä tutkimuksessa suositaan työelämälähtöistä suuntausta ja toiseksi oppimisnäkemyksistä arvostetaan erilaisia sosiaalisen oppimisen muotoja. Myös näkemyksiä yleisten akateemisten valmiuksien ja kognitiivisen oppimisen puolesta esiintyy. Yhteenvetona voidaan todeta, että kääntäjänkoulutusta ja kääntämisen opettamista koskevat Meta- ja Target-lehdissä julkaistut artikkelit noudattavat näkemyksiltään kasvatustieteessä vallitsevia näkemyksiä. Artikkelit eivät kuitenkaan täytä näyttöön perustuvan tutkimuksen tiukimpia kriteerejä.

Published: November 2024

Im Rahmen eines Buchprojekts mit dem Ziel, eine schwedische Einführung in die Phraseologie zu veröffentlichen, werden schwedische Phraseologismen in unterschiedlichen Textsorten gesammelt. Durch die vorliegende Teilstudie wird das Korpus um journalistische Texte der Sportsprache erweitert. Das Material wurde auf feste Wortverbindungen, die konkret oder abstrakt eine Bewegung ausdrücken, beschränkt, und diese werden aus semantischer Perspektive analysiert. Das Korpus besteht aus Texten, die auf den Sportseiten jeweils einer schwedischen und einer finnlandschwedischen regionalen bzw. überregionalen Abonnement-Tageszeitung erschienen sind. Die Analyse zeigt, dass ein auffällig geringer Anteil der relativ frequenten Phraseologismen eine Bewegung ausdrückt. Sie tragen durch ihre Expressivität dazu bei, die Darstellungen anschaulicher und lebhafter zu machen, aber auch dazu, Engagement und Wertungen auszudrücken.
Studying Translator Status: Three Points of View
Authors: Ruokonen Minna
Published: November 2024

Kääntäjän ammatin statusta eli arvostusta on alettu tutkia vasta viime vuosina. Tämä artikkeli on kriittinen katsaus empiirisiin statustutkimuksiin, jotka jaottelen Chestermanin (2000, 2007) pohjalta muokkaamieni vertailu-, kausaali- ja toimijuusnäkökulmien mukaan. Varsinaista statustutkimusta on melko vähän, mutta statusta käsitellään myös ammatti-identiteettiä tai ammatin tilaa tarkastelevissa tutkimuksissa. Tutkimuksissa yhdistetään usein eri näkökulmia ja menetelmiä. Kääntäjien arvostus on tutkitustikin keskitasoa tai sen alle. Statukseen vaikuttavat monet tekijät, mutta sitä näyttäisivät parantavan näkyvyys ja toimijoiden yhteistyö. Lisää tutkimusta tarvittaisiin etenkin alihankkijoiden statuksesta, statukseen vaikuttavista tekijöistä ja toimijoiden strategioista statuksen muuttamiseksi.
A Friend and a Foe? Interpreters in WWII in Finland and Norway Embodying Frontiers
Authors: Kujamäki Pekka
Published: November 2024

Kääntäjän ja tulkin henkilö tarjoaa mielenkiintoisen näkökulman sotien kulttuurisiin välitiloihin. Sodissa on kyse kulttuurisista, ideologisista ja geopoliittisista rajoista, jotka erottavat konfliktin osapuolet toisistaan. Näennäisesti selkeitä asetelmia kuitenkin sekoittavat sodassa muodostuvat monikieliset ja -kulttuuriset rintamayhteisöt ja sodan niihin liikuttamat henkilöt, jotka saattavat päätyä – siviileinä, sotilaina tai sotavankeina – kääntäjiksi ja tulkeiksi sodan erilaisiin viestintätilanteisiin. Tällaisten henkilöiden etniset, kulttuuriset, kielelliset ja poliittiset taustat voivat olennaisesti vaikeuttaa yrityksiä määrittää heidän kuulumistaan puolelle tai toiselle konfliktia. Sama koskee heidän toimijuuttaan. Niinpä esimerkiksi eettisten, sotajoukkojen toimintaakin olennaisesti määrittävien kategorioiden kuten ”lojaalisuuden” ja ”uskollisuuden” määrittely tai jopa peruskategorioiden kuten ”me/omat” ja ”muut/vihollinen” käsittely voi olla hankalaa. Jako ystäviin ja vihollisiin määrittää sodan perusasetelman, mutta sodan rintamayhteisöjen translationaalisissa tiloissa toimivien tulkkien ja kääntäjien toimijuus voi sisältää tai sen voidaan epäillä sisältävän molempia rooleja. Tässä artikkelissa tätä perusasetelmaa tarkastellaan II maailmansodan kontekstissa.

Authors: Sibul Karin
Published: November 2024

Der Artikel behandelt die Verdolmetschung zwischen Estnisch und Russisch im estnischen Parlament in der Periode der Sowjetrepublik Estland (ESSR 1944–1991). In dieser Zeit wurde anstelle von Englisch und Deutsch Russisch als die Sprache der internationalen Kommunikation eingeführt. Die Verfasserin untersucht die Spezifik des Dolmetschens in Sowjet-Estland im Rahmen der allgemeineren Geschichte des Dolmetschens in Estland. Im Mittelpunkt steht das Simultandolmetschen im Obersten Sowjet der ESSR, dem Parlament der Sowjetära. Die Verfasserin befragte hierzu 49 Personen bzw. 23 Dolmetscher und 26 Auftraggeber oder Nutzer von Dolmetschleistungen. Im Ergebnis der Durchsicht von 1200 Fotos und 154 Wochenschauen zur Arbeit des Obersten Sowjets (OS) aus nationalen Archiven wurden 29 Fotos und 27 Videoclips von OS-Sitzungen mit Kopfhörern ausgewählt, die frühesten davon aus dem Jahre 1945. Theoretische Grundlage der Studie ist der Ansatz von Bourdieu mit den Begriffen symbolisches Kapital und Feld. Soweit der Verfasserin bekannt, wurde symbolisches Kapital bisher noch nicht mit Dolmetschen in Verbindung gebracht. Der Artikel beschreibt die Rolle des Dolmetschens im Estland der Nachkriegszeit.
Käännösten käytettävyyden heuristinen arviointi
Authors: Suojanen Tytti , Tuominen Tiina
Published: November 2024

Defining the target audience is one of the crucial points during a translation project. Translators consider the needs and abilities of their future readers and strive to produce an appropriate translation. However, translation studies has not offered translators many concrete tools with which translators could analyze and specify target readers. One of the proposed solutions for this dilemma is the model of UserCentered Translation (Suojanen, Koskinen & Tuominen 2012, 2015). The model contains a number of practical methods with which translators can find out information about their readers and use that information while translating. One of these methods is heuristic evaluation, which is performed by an expert or a group of experts using heuristics, namely, rules, guidelines or usability principles. The user-centered translation model contains a newly created set of usability heuristics for translation, and we wanted to test how these heuristics work in practice. We created an evaluation assignment, which was given to several student groups at the Finnish Universities of Tampere and Turku. In the assignment, students were asked to familiarize themselves with the heuristics, use them to analyze a translation, report on their main findings and reflect on the use of the heuristics. In this article we will report on the students’ findings and examine the usability of the heuristics as a translator’s tool. We will also introduce a modified list of translation usability heuristics that has been created based on the students’ comments.

In Dolmetschkursen werden Studierende mit Situationen konfrontiert, die aufgrund ihres komplexen und anspruchsvollen Charakters oft auch Lampenfieber erzeugen. Der Artikel wendet das auch aus der musikpädagogischen Forschung bekannte Phänomen Lampenfieber bzw. Aufführungsangst auf entsprechende Erfahrungen von Dolmetschstudierenden bei Dolmetschübungen an. Mittels eines elektronischen Fragebogens ist eine erste explorative Untersuchung durchgeführt worden, die das Thema Lampenfieber beim ersten Dolmetschkurs erörtert und insbesondere Antworten auf die Frage sucht, wie und in welchem Umfang Lampenfieber bei Dolmetschkursen sichtbar wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Lampenfieber für die Dolmetschstudierenden ein bekanntes Phänomen ist, das sowohl leistungsfördernde als auch leistungsmindernde Ausmaße annehmen kann. Abschließend werden Möglichkeiten zur Förderung des leistungssteigernden Lampenfiebers bei Dolmetschkursen diskutiert.
Coffee-Drinking in Constructing Finnish-Americanness in Three Finnish-American Migrant Short-Story Collections
Authors: Kushnir Roman
Published: November 2024

Данная работа рассматривает роль кофе в создании американо-финской идентичности персонажей в трёх сборниках рассказов "Heikki Heikkinen” (1995), “Misery Bay” (2002) и “Back to Misery Bay” (2007) американского писателя финского происхождения Лаури Андерсона. Рассказывая о жизни потомков финских мигрантов в США в конце XX-начале XXI века, автор уделяет большое внимание материальной культуре, в частности традициям питания. Персонажи, живущие на границе между американской и финской культурой, используют элементы обеих в конструировании своей идентичности. Целью данной работы является анализ такого элемента традиций питания, как кофе в этом конструировании. С одной стороны, принесённый из Финляндии их
предками обычай пить кофе объединяет персонажей как финнов и отделяет их от других этнических групп. С другой, анализ демонстрирует, что данный обычай претерпел серьёзные изменения в США и приобрёл много новых значений. Таким образом, некогда финский обычай стал для персонажей отличительным знаком их «американской финскости».
The Concept of Multi-Attractedness: From Text to Reality
Authors: Lehtonen Tommi
Published: November 2024

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan, millaisten oletusten pohjalta ja millä menetelmillä voidaan tutkia moniviehättyneisyydeksi kutsuttua asennetaipumusta. Moniviehättyneisyydellä tarkoitetaan henkilön taipumusta tulla vastakkaisten ja keskenään ristiriitaisten vaihtoehtojen puoleensa vetämäksi päätöksentekotilanteessa. Tällaisen taipumuksen oletetaan johtavan vastapuolen näkökulman parempaan ymmärtämiseen ja kykyyn tehdä kompromisseja, joilla on tärkeä rooli tehokkaassa ja harkitsevassa päätöksenteossa. Jotta näitä oletuksia voitaisiin testata käytännössä, tarvitaan käsitetutkimuksen lisäksi empiirisiä havaintoja moniviehättyneistä päätöksentekijöistä. Tällaisten henkilöiden tunnistaminen ja tutkiminen ovat tärkeää päätöksenteon teorian kehittämiseksi ja ymmärryksen lisäämiseksi asenteiden vaikutuksesta päätöksiin. Moniviehättyneisyyden idean taustalla on John Irvingin Minä olen monta -romaanin päähenkilö. Kyseinen romaani on esimerkki siitä, miten kaunokirjallisuus voi valaista todellisuuden luonnetta ja synnyttää käsitteellisiä innovaatioita. Uutta käsitettä muodostettaessa on tärkeä tehdä selkoa siitä, missä määrin käsite viittaa mielestä ja kielestä riippumattomaan todellisuuteen ja missä määrin taas on kyseessä tarkoituksenmukaisuussyistä luotu ajatusrakennelma. Suoritetun tarkastelun perusteella moniviehättyneisyyden käsitteessä yhdistyvät empiirinen koeteltavuus ja romaanin innoittama luova hahmotus.
”Click, click go the shears”: Text and Orality in an Australian Textual Community
Authors: Porter Gerald
Published: November 2024

Lukutaidottomuuden ja luku- sekä kirjoitustaidon välistä rajaa on aina ollut vaikea piirtää tarkasti, varsinkin esimodernilla aikakaudella. Ongin ”Primary orality” (”ensisijainen suullisuus”) -mallia (1962) on kyseenalaistettu toistuvasti. Atkinsonin (2014) tutkimus väittää, että ainakaan kansan- ja ammattilaulujen tutkimuksessa Ongin väite, että kansanlaulut siirtyisivät improvisaation yhteydessä (that it was central to the transmission of traditional songs that they should be passed on orally through improvisation) ei välttämättä pidä paikkaansa tai ainakaan selitä variaatioita. Tapaustutkimukseni tukee Atkinsonin ehdotusta, jonka mukaan käytännössä sekä laulujen painetut että käsinkirjoitetut versiot ovat selvästi vaikuttaneet toisiinsa. Tutkin Atkinsonin ehdotuksen paikkansapitävyyttä eräässä kiertävässä miesten ammattiryhmässä 1800-luvun Australiassa. Kyseinen lampaidenkeritsijöiden ryhmä muodosti ”tekstuaalisen yhteisön” (”textual community”, Stock 1990), jolla oli ammattinsa perusteella samankaltainen käsitys lauluista, joiden sanat kuvailivat työolosuhteiden yksityiskohtia. Tutkimuksen lopputulos osoittaa, että vaikka ”alkuperäisestä versiosta” oli lähes aina olemassa painettu teksti, muunnelmia syntyi esitettyjen ja painettujen versioiden dynaamisessa ja dialogisessa kohtaamisessa.
Mehrsprachigkeit in der unternehmensinternen und -externen Kommunikation in Unternehmen in Pohjanmaa: Ergebnisse einer Befragung
Authors: Breckle Margit
Published: November 2024

This paper addresses multilingualism in companies’ internal and external communication. It presents the selected results of a survey, which was carried out within the project Corporate communications between Ostrobothnia and the German-speaking countries. The questionnaire was sent to 145 companies in the Finnish regions Ostrobothnia, South Ostrobothnia and Central-Ostrobothnia, which have business contacts with the German-speaking countries. The paper focuses on the language skills of respondents, on the use of multiple languages in the work context – within the company as well as externally – and on the role of languages in an organizational context. The study shows that the respondents not only have diverse language skills in four or more languages, but they usually interact in several working languages. Usually, several languages are used in the companies’ internal communication. In the companies’ external communication with German business partners, English and German play an important role. According to the respondents, these two languages – as well as Russian – are regarded as important in the work context, and expected to remain so in the future.
Zur aktuellen Bedeutung des Lexems Zuwandererim Spiegel der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung und der Süddeutschen Zeitung: Untersuchungsergebnisse und aktuelle Tendenzen

Published: November 2024

Detta bidrag presenterar resultaten av ett doktorsarbete som fokuserar på betydelsen av lexemet Zuwanderer (sv. invandrare). Vid millennieskiftet användes Zuwanderer i allt större utsträckning i det tyska språkbruket. Detta skedde i samband med debatten om en ny invandringslagstiftning ”Zuwanderungsgesetz” i Tyskland. Undersökningen baserar sig på 656 belägg från två tyska rikstidningar under perioden 2000–2010. Lexemets betydelse analyserades utgående från det språkliga och situativa sammanhanget i texterna. Med hjälp av några exempel visas i artikeln med vilka denotat och konnotationer Zuwanderer används i materialet. Vidare beskrivs aktuella tendenser gällande användningen efter 2010.
Tekstilajin tajua kyselemässä: Korkeakouluopiskelijoiden kokemuksia, käsityksiä ja arviointia hylkäyskirjeistä
Authors: Laihanen Esa
Published: November 2024

This article reports on a questionnaire that examined the experiences and perceptions of Finnish university students (students of engineering, N=26; and polytechnic students of business, N=25) regarding rejection letters sent to job applicants. In the questionnaire, students answered open questions and evaluated a number of anonymized rejection letters from the reader´s perspective. Both rejection letters produced by genuine companies and letters written by students on a written communication course were evaluated. Content and discourse analysis were utilized in analysis of student responses. The results showed that students have at least some understanding of the characteristics and functional structures of the genre of the rejection letter. The respondents expected functional interaction (interpersonality, courtesy and personalization), certain substantive, stylistic and linguistic functionalities, explanations and feedback, as well as a future orientation and motivation of the applicant. Although personalization and feedback were desired, feedback that was too detailed or somehow criticized the applicant or his/her merits was perceived as offensive and when found in student-generated rejection letters unrealistic. The results are valuable for teaching literacy skills and text awareness for working life, as well as when examining the effects of recruitment processes on employer image.

According to the Qualification Requirements for the Authorised Translators’ Examinations 2012, the examinations should measure examinees’ functional translation skills, i.e. how well they manage assignments where the legal considerations of documents need to be conveyed into other languages and for other cultures. In addition, test assignments should reflect the needs of working life and they should be selected taking the characteristics of authorised translation into account. In short, the assignments should be as authentic as possible. This article deals with the concept of authenticity and is based on a questionnaire completed by examinees’ taking part in the Authorised Translators’ Examination of autumn 2019. The examinees were asked about their overall view of the examination as well as the individual assignments specifically. The analysis of the questionnaire shows that the examinees are mostly satisfied with the examination and individual
assignments. What they would like to improve are some details in arrangements and their own skills. In other words, the examinees do not see the eventual lack of authenticity as a problem.
Applying Minimalism in the Real World: Results From a Workshop
Authors: Suomivuori Tiia , Virtaluoto Jenni , Suojanen Tytti
Published: November 2024

Minimalism is a user-centered, contextual and goal-oriented approach to technical communication originally developed by John M. Carroll (1990). In minimalism, the aim is to produce user documentation that focuses on the user’s needs, helps the user recover from error situations, and strengthens the user’s skills in working with the system (Carroll & van der Meij 1995: 245). The challenge with minimalism has been its practical application: although user-centeredness – the core of minimalism – is the key issue in technical communication, the abstract nature of the approach and its focus on software documentation has made it difficult to apply in industry settings (Virtaluoto, Suojanen & Isohella 2018; Virtaluoto, Suojanen & Isohella, forthcoming). Consequently, there is very little evidence on the suitability of minimalism for software documentation and no evidence at all for hardware documentation. In this article, we explore the application of minimalism to heavy industry machinery end-user instructions through a workshop with technical communication professionals. In the workshop, the participants reviewed heavy industry machinery enduser instructions using a revised set of minimalism heuristics as a practical review tool (Virtaluoto, Suojanen & Isohella, forthcoming). The results show that the revised minimalism heuristics were applicable to heavy industry machinery end-user instructions, but further development ideas were also suggested.

This study aims to examine how practitioners of Swedish-medium early childhood education and care in Finland reflect on language awareness (LA). The study is conducted within in-service training on language awareness and language stimulating working methods. The data consist of nine group discussions on a SWOT-task, with 41 primary participants participating the in-service training and 165 secondary participants from primary participants’ respective professional learning communities (PLCs). In the SWOT-task the participants reflected on six language-policy themes on LA in national policy documents that were presented as an introduction to the task. The practitioners discussed them first in their respective PLCs and then in small groups within the in-service training. The group discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed for qualitative content analysis. The analysis focus on the topics Finnish-Swedish bilingualism, bilingual education, and early language instruction in relation to i) starting points for language aware working methods, ii) language aware operational culture, and iii) minority-majority positions. The results show that the same insights often were treated as both strengths and (potential) weaknesses, and accentuate a need for support to implement into practice the language-aware educational policy highlighted in the steering documents.
Terminological Problems in Academic Writing: A Study of Texts Written by University Students
Authors: Katajamäki Heli
Published: November 2024

This study focuses on terminological problems, which students encounter in academic writing. In the academic writing course Academic Writing in Finnish (5 ECTS), students perform an argumentation analysis, which is reported by writing a short academic text, called a mini-thesis. For the argumentation analysis, students analyse a Master’s thesis written by some other student based on the theoretical background given during the course. In this paper I will describe terminological problems encountered by ten students in this task. The aim is to illustrate that students may have a conceptual understanding of the concepts (argument, main claim, claim, reason, background assumption) required for the assignment but still resort to using term-like words vaguely, ambiguously or sometimes even wrongly. The results of a genre and discourse analysis show that this is the case in some respects. Terminological problems illustrate how the terminological chain from the sources of the assignment to the assignment and further to the mini-thesis might be broken, and as a consequence, the intelligibility of the mini-thesis can be put at risk. However, some students use the term-like words consistently and even show some development if compared with the terms given in the theoretical background. The results may have pedagogical use in shedding light on how consistent use of terms strengthens intelligibility.

Climate change is one of the biggest problems of our world, and one of the biggest measures taken to solve the climate crisis is to reduce the consumption of oil and oil derivatives, which are considered among fossil resources. However, with the globalising world and increasing population, oil companies have turned to the plastic and packaging sector in order to meet the increasing demand for plastic consumption. This situation inevitably increases the environmental damage of plastic waste. In particular, the inability to use water resources correctly and the pollution of water by wastes left in the environment adversely affect the lives of living things on earth. Within the scope of the study, it was aimed to determine the microbial diversity living on polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is known as the raw material of tools such as plastic bottles, food containers, and fishing line, which are left as waste in the environment, especially in rivers and lake shores. In this context, Topçu Pond, which is an important water source in the field of agricultural irrigation in Yozgat province, was selected as the study area. Genomic DNA (gDNA) was isolated from biofilm layers formed on water, sediment, and PET samples collected from the study area. The bacterial communities living in the samples were identified by analysing the 16S rDNA of the gDNAs with the next-generation sequencing method. Thus, we conducted the first microbial diversity study in Topçu Pond and defined the bacterial composition on PET samples in the pond.

Eski Mezopotamya’da Demon İnancı
Authors: Karaköz Kübra
Published: November 2024

İnsanlık tarihinin en eski dönemlerinden beri, demonik inançlar, toplulukların ruhsal dünyalarında derin izler bırakmış, doğaüstü varlıklar olarak yaşamlarını şekillendirmiştir. Tarih boyunca mitolojik zenginliği ve karmaşık inanç sistemleriyle en ilgi çekici uygarlıklarından biri olan Eski Mezopotamya, bu kötücül ruhların en güçlü varlıkları arasında yer aldığı bir uygarlık olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Eski Mezopotamya'da demonlar yalnızca kötülüğün, korku ve kaosun sembolleri-temsilcileri değil, aynı zamanda toplumsal düzenin, ritüel pratiklerin ve ruhani arayışların da ayrılmaz bir parçasıydı. Çalışma demon inancı üzerinden Mezopotamya toplumlarının korkuları, umutları ve doğaüstü güçlerle olan mücadeleleri, korkunun, inancın ve ritüelin birleştiği bu dünya, Mezopotamyalıların dünyayı nasıl algıladıklarını ve sosyal düzenlerini nasıl şekillendirdiklerini ortaya koymaktadır.rn--------------rnSince the earliest periods of human history, demonic beliefs have left deep marks in the spiritual worlds of communities, shaping their lives as supernatural entities. Throughout history, ancient Mesopotamia, one of the most intriguing civilizations with its rich mythology and complex belief systems, stands out as a culture where these malevolent spirits were among the most powerful entities. In ancient Mesopotamia, demons were not only symbols of evil, fear, and chaos but also an integral part of social order, ritual practices, and spiritual quests. This study explores the fears, hopes, and struggles of Mesopotamian societies through the lens of demon beliefs, revealing how the world where fear, faith, and ritual converge reflects the ways Mesopotamians perceived the world and shaped their social order.
