TRAINING THE AUGMENTED INTERPRETER TODAY
Authors: ANTONOVA A.M.
Published: March 2024

Any interpretation training programme aspiring to excellence must be closely connected with the professional world and make effective use of innovative teaching methods, cooperation with external stakeholders, and modern technologies in order to ensure a high quality of learning. This paper focuses on the different aspects of ‘quality’ in light of the advent of new technologies and the changing nature of the interpreting profession. Interpretation training programmes must learn today how to prepare a widely employable interpreter to survive the pressures of the professional world. A scenario-based approach, that simulates work-like situations, is effective in interpretation training. The paper will focus on mock conferences, as its most effective teaching practice. Mock conferences help to enhance the authenticity and diversity of lifelike situations in class, provide the students with contextualised practice that helps to develop non-linguistic competences. The latest technologies, e.g. ICTs, AI, etc., offer a new degree of automation to all professional language mediation activities, calling for a rethinking of the interpreter’s skillset. The future will accommodate both artificial and human interpreting, and the bar for humans will be raised. The interpretation students must learn how to use the latest technologies for the benefit of the client. A new, augmented interpreter profile includes the combination of the classical competences (interpretation, language and cultural, interpersonal, ethical, etc.) and technological competences which must be used for the benefit of the client and the events at which the interpreter works. The paper also explores the value added by human interpretation to communication, such as depth of message comprehension, teamwork, shared responsibility and liability and, most importantly, the value of the ‘interpreter who cares’.
POLYCODE HISTORICAL DISCOURSE FEATURES

Published: March 2024

The paper deals with the feature of verbal and visual semiotic systems peculiar to historical discourse. The relevance of the research is determined by the necessity to identify the correlation of verbal and visual means used by historians in the transmission of information. The methodology of the article is based on the research works of home and foreign scholars. The methods that have been used in the research are: the method of discursive analysis, the method of linguistic analysis, the method of interpretive analysis. As a result of the analysis of historical discourse it has been established that the appeal to various semiotic systems facilitates and streamlines the assimilation of information about the events of the historical past of mankind, preserving the memory of them in the images proposed by the historians. History, which is not given to historians in their immediate experience, is reconstructed by them by means of different semiotic systems. The verbal code reinforced by the visual one sets a certain perception of historical events as they are viewed by historians. In historical discourse, the use of different semiotic systems in the transmission of the most significant historical events is necessary to attract the attention of recipients to them in order to change not only their perception, but also to transform the basic dominants of their mental space, in which the events of the historical past that are not reproduced in experience are reconstructed.
Dosa Yang Tidak Dapat Diampuni Menurut Markus 3:20-30, Suatu Refleksi Teologis
Authors: Sobon Rabiel
Published: March 2024

Persoalan “dosa” tidak habis-habisnya dikumandangkan dalam setiap aspek hidup manusia. Dosa bagaikan akar yang menancap kuat dalam diri manusia, sehingga rasanya sulit untuk dibersihkan. Banyak yang takut bahwa mereka sudah melakukan dosa-dosa tertentu yang Allah tidak dapat atau tidak akan ampuni, dan mereka merasa putus asa, apapun yang mereka lakukan. Padahal sangat jelas bahwa satu-satunya dosa yang tidak terampuni adalah menghujat Roh Kudus (Mrk. 3:29). Penelitian ini bertujuan menunjukkan pentingnya memahami dosa yang tidak terampuni melalui Markus 3:20-30. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis interpretatif didapatkan hasil bahwa  dosa tidak terampuni, bukan karena Allah tidak mengampuni, tetapi karena manusia yang mengeraskan hati terhadap suara Roh Kudus, sehingga terus-menerus menolak pengampunan.  Keselamatan adalah kedaulatan Allah, Dia akan mengerjakan dalam kuasa-Nya. Kebebalan manusia adalah wujud keberdosaan yang mematikan, sementara orang percaya akan dapat dilihat pada buah hidupnya. Allah Maha Kuasa, itu pasti. Tapi jangan lupa, Allah juga Maha Suci, dan menuntut manusia hidup suci dihadapan-Nya. Dia Allah yang murka pada dosa, tapi mengasihi manusia pilihan-Nya.

Kata Kunci: Dosa yang tidak terampuni, kedaulatan Allah, keselamatan, menghujat Roh Kudus, pengampunan.

Abstract

 

This paper aims to describe the socio-historical study of King David's leadership style based on leadership theory. The method used in this article is a qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach. The various data obtained in this study were then processed using descriptive analysis techniques. The results of the study show that David's leadership in the United Kingdom of Israel can be classified into the great man theory. This is because David's leadership has a uniqueness that includes several important aspects, namely aspects of faith, tolerance, good moral values, quality obedience values, and consistent humanism. King David's leadership style can also be categorized as charismatic leadership. This leadership style can be seen in the pattern of practical control over monarchical power through the establishment of the priesthood sector, the revitalization of royal literary texts, the nationalization of customary law, and persuasive political-economic communication.

Published: March 2024

Online learning is a solution for the limited learning activities during the current pandemic. Internet-based distance learning media is the right choice to replace face-to-face learning, including video conferencing such as Zoom Meetings. Online lectures need to be packaged in an innovative way to attract students interest in learning. Interest is a strong source of motivation in learning and triggers one's participation/activity. This is the background of the author to conduct research with the title "Implementation of Zoom Meeting Learning Media on Learning Interests of STT Duta Panisal Students, Jember." This study aims to determine the implementation of the Zoom Meeting learning media on the learning interest of STT Duta Panisal students. The methodology used is qualitative to study, analyze and describe the data as a whole. The approach is a case study, to explore facts through detailed, in depth data collection involving various sources of information, such as observations, interviews, and reports. Sources of data were obtained from observations and in-depth interviews using questions that were prepared and developed during interviews with 8 students and 4 lecturers of online learning. The results showed that Zoom Meeting was quite well used as an online learning medium, although some students still felt uncomfortable. Among them are noisy atmosphere, less stable internet signal, as well as the existence of courses that are presented "marathon" in a short period of time. An attitude as if "nobar" causes a "mental block", an impact on the low acceptance of information. For lecturers, online learning is a solution if they are unable to attend, even though there are internet connection barriers. Students interest in learning during online learning is quite good, but not yet comparable to changes in cognitive behavior. Remembering and affirming to yourself the purpose of studying at STT is a way for students to ignite their interest in learning. Lecturers use various ways to stimulate students interest in learning, provide words of encouragement/motivation. Two-way communication between lecturers and students is a form of cooperation that is indispensable, including the openness of students when they have difficulty understanding the material.

This research aims to investigate the cash flow analysis of the Central Bank of Nigeria using Markovian decision theory. The specific objectives include determining the (i) cash flow solvency ratio, (ii) cash flow adequacy ratio, (iii) sufficiency ratio, (iv) cash flow profitability ratio, and (v) estimating the optimal policy of cash flow ratios performance in CBN. The identified problems are the effects of (i) insolvency, (ii) inadequacy, (iii) insufficiency, and (v) Unprofitability on Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cash flows performance.The methodology involves a research design tailored toward collecting, arranging, and determining cash flow data for model prediction and optimization. The Markov chain is introduced as an operator to evaluate the distribution of cash flow ratios in the long term, using initial state vectors and state transition probabilities for forecasting behavior. Data validation is performed using graphical and Pearson moment correlation coefficient methods. The pre-model analysis of CBN cash flows problem during the period of January 2012 to December 2017 identifies six finite current states. State-2012 cash flows performance was exceptional (above the zero line), reflecting 100%, while State-2013 and 2015 reflect 75%, and State-2014, 2016 & 2017 reflect 50% healthy cash flows status. The model results introduce the Markovian Cash Flow Ratios Monitoring Curve (MCFRMC), specifying the minimum values for healthy status. The research explores the present status of cash flow ratios, presenting forecasted ratios in the form of an optimum policy or solution. Pearson moment correlation coefficient validation of the prototype and model results in a coefficient of 1.0, indicating a 100% higher performance of the model. Further research reveals strategic cash inflows policy allocation to the cash flows indicators, with (i) operational activity receiving 24%, (ii) investment active e

تلعب الاسواق المالية على الصعيدين المحلي والدولي وفي العديد من المجالات الاقتصادية والمالية والتجارية دورا مهما في سد فجوة التمويل في الاقتصاد، فضلا عن جذب الاستثمارات وروؤس الاموال وذلك لان السيولة التي توفرها هذه الاسواق سوف تساهم في دفع الادخار نحو الاستثمار وهذا الامر سيؤدي الى تعزيز وزيادة النمو الاقتصادي هذا من جانب، اما الجانب الاخر بان النمو الاقتصادي هو الذي يؤدي الى تطور الاسواق المالية والسبب يعود في ذلك بان المعدلات المرتفعة للنمو ستؤدي الى خلق الطلب للعديد من الادوات والخدمات المالية مما يتطلب الامر الى تطوير النظام المالي وبنفس الوقت تطور الاسواق المالية، وان التطورات التي تحدث في الاسواق المالية المحلية والدولية لها اثار ايجابية وسلبية فالجانب الايجابي منها سيكون له دور في رفع معدلات النمو وزيادة الاستثمارات ، اما الجانب السلبي فيتمثل بالازمات المالية التي أصابت العالم في عام 1929 وانتهاء بأزمة الرهن العقاري في عام 2008 ، وفي ظل هذه الازمات ظهرت الاسواق المالية لغرض مجابهة التغيرات التي تحدث على المستوى المالي فضلا عن جذب روؤس الاموال على الصعيد المحلي والدولي. وتعد السعودية احدى الدول التي تحاول مواكبة هذه التغيرات عن طريق تنشيط وتفعيل اسواقها مما ستنعكس بتاثرها على النمو الاقتصادي للبلد. ويتبين من خلال البحث دور واهمية الاسواق المالية في تاثيرها على النمو الاقتصادي بان له إثر ايجابيا في السعودية وان هناك عوامل سياسية واقتصادية قد تحد من تطور الاسواق المالية فيها، لذا لابد من وضع قوانين وتشريعات تعمل على تحفيز عمل وتنظيم تلك الاسواق للبلد للوصول وتحقيق النمو الاقتصادي الملائم.

AIMS OF THE STUDY: The Eversense® CGM System is the first and only continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) that uses a fully subcutaneous implanted sensor. This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness, safety and patient-reported outcomes in patients using the Eversense® CGM System in a realistic clinical setting, assessed at a single Swiss diabetes centre (Luzerner Kantonsspital) with prolonged follow-up.
METHODS: This was a prospective and retrospective observational study that included patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in whom at least one Eversense® glucose sensor was implanted between 2017 and 2022. The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c levels from the baseline (before implantation of the sensor) to 6 ± 2 and 12 ± 2 months and the last follow-up (newest available value) after implantation. The secondary outcome measures were the number of premature sensor breakdowns, adverse events related to the implantation procedure (infection, bleeding, difficulties with implantation or explantation) and patient-related outcomes (assessed with a questionnaire).
RESULTS: A total of 33 patients participated in this study. The median follow-up time was 50 (IQR 22.3–58.5) months. In total, 178 sensor implantations were performed. Valid HbA1c results were available for 26 participants. Compared to the baseline values, HbA1c levels at 6 and 12 months and the last follow-up changed by –0.25%, –0.45 and –0.2 (p = 0.278, 0.308 and 0.296, respectively). We recorded 16 (9%) premature sensor breakdowns, all occurring between 2019 and 2020. Apart from one late-onset infection and four complicated sensor removals, no major complications were assessed. The results of the questionnaire showed a subjective improvement in hypoglycaemia rates, a better perception of hypoglycaemia and the impression of better diabetes management. Common issues with the device reported by the patients were technical errors (connection problems) and problems with the removal procedure.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of the Eversense® CGM System resulted in changes in HbA1c of between –0.2% and –0.45%. The rate of premature sensor breakdown was low. Major complications following sensor implantation or removal were absent, apart from one case of infection and four cases of complicated removal. Patient-reported outcomes with the Eversense® CGM System showed a subjective positive impact on hypoglycaemia rates, greater confidence in managing hypoglycaemia and diabetes in general, and easy handling of the transmitter and mobile app. Technical issues must be considered but are nowadays, with the use of the newest sensor generation, very rare.
Successful treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related periaortitis

We report a 64-year-old patient with melanoma receiving ipilimumab and nivolumab therapy who presented with a periaortic soft tissue mass around the abdominal aorta on restaging fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging. Clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings resulted in a diagnosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related periaortitis. Periaortitis is a rare disease presenting with fibro-inflammatory tissue around the aorta and may lead to serious complications. Immune checkpoint inhibitors were discontinued, and the patient was treated with glucocorticoids, leading to a complete resolution of the periaortitis. To our knowledge, this is only the third reported case of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related periaortitis.

BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency without anaemia is a common health problem, especially in young menstruating women. The efficacy of the usually recommended oral iron supplementation is limited due to increased plasma hepcidin concentration, which reduces iron absorption and leads to side effects such as intestinal irritation. This observation raises the question of how low-dose iron therapy may affect plasma hepcidin levels and whether oral iron intake dose-dependently affects plasma hepcidin production.
METHODS: Fifteen non-anaemic women with iron deficiency (serum ferritin ≤30 ng/ml) received a single dose of 0, 6, 30, or 60 mg of elemental oral iron as ferrous sulfate on different days. Plasma hepcidin was measured before and seven hours after each dose.
RESULTS: Subjects had an average age of 23 (standard deviation = 3.0) years and serum ferritin of 24 ng/ml (interquartile range = 16–27). The highest mean change in plasma hepcidin levels was measured after ingesting 60 mg of iron, increasing from 2.1 ng/ml (interquartile range = 1.6–2.9) to 4.1 ng/ml (interquartile range = 2.5–6.9; p < 0.001). Iron had a significant dose-dependent effect on the absolute change in plasma hepcidin (p = 0.008), where lower iron dose supplementation resulted in lower plasma hepcidin levels. Serum ferritin levels were significantly correlated with fasting plasma hepcidin levels (R2 = 0.504, p = 0.003) and the change in plasma hepcidin concentration after iron intake (R2 = 0.529, p = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: We found a dose-dependent effect of iron supplementation on plasma hepcidin levels. Lower iron dosage results in a smaller increase in hepcidin and might thus lead to more efficient intestinal iron absorption and fewer side effects. The effectiveness and side effects of low-dose iron treatment in women with iron deficiency should be further investigated.

Electing Our Bishops
Authors: O'Callaghan Joseph
Published: March 2024

How does one become a bishop in the Catholic Church? Electing our Bishops: How the Catholic Church Should Choose Its Leaders explains how history, politics, and religious tradition converge to produce the episcopacy. The book gives an historical overview from the earliest times when bishops were elected by the clergy and people of the diocese to the present day where they are normally appointed by the pope. In light of the current clergy sexual abuse scandal, many distinguished theologians, canonists, and church historians have called for greater popular participation in the selection of bishops, and Electing our Bishops discusses ideas for new forms of election that involve both clergy and laity. This book is an important tool for Catholics who want to understand the history and process of the election of bishops as well as how the process might change in the future.
