Errors in translation: A case study of Chinese into English translation
Authors: Du Wei , Saeheaw Teeraporn 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Translation teachers have long experimented with various methods to help students improve their translation competence. This study approaches the issue by developing an assessment framework based on error analysis and a translation grading system, with the aim of identifying the most common and frequent errors committed by students in their translation works. One group of translation students in Ningxia University, China served as the target group of the study. The errors identified in their renditions were classified, with text-level errors the most prominent, followed by translation errors and substance errors. Possible causes of the errors were analyzed, and suggestions were proposed for future teaching.
EU Financial Market Governance and the Covid-19 Crisis: ESMA’s Nimble, Responsive, and Speedy Response in Coordinating National Authorities through Soft-Law Instruments
Authors: Moloney Niamh , Conac Pierre-Henri 
Published: September 2020

The initial evidence indicates that EU financial market governance has performed well in its response to the Covid-19 crisis. In the European Union (EU), the need for coordination and cooperation over this crisis has been a particular concern given that national competent authorities (NCAs) operate under the single rulebook and supervisory action must, accordingly, be consistent. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has, however, shown itself to be nimble, responsive, and speedy in deploying its supervisory powers, including those additional powers it has recently been granted under the 2019 ESA Reform Regulation. This has particularly been the case as regards the application by NCAs of ‘supervisory forbearance’ and as regards the application of market disclosures rules, notably the financial reporting standard IFRS 9. ESMA has also been successful in coordinating the few NCAs which decided to impose restrictions on short selling. ESMA’s actions during the Covid-19 crisis underline the de facto power it wields through its soft supervisory convergence powers and the entrepreneurial but effective approach it deploys in their use.See generally, Niamh Moloney, the Age of ESMA.

The Institutionalization of State Resistance to Federal Directives in the 21st Century
Authors: Dinan John 
Published: September 2020

AbstractState officials have challenged a number of federal policies during the Trump administration. In this article, I chronicle and categorize the tools that states have employed in resisting federal policies and show that states have relied primarily on three tactics: filing lawsuits, declining participation in federal programs, and passing policies inconsistent with federal policies. I also explain why state resistance has become such a prominent feature of U.S. politics. State challenges to federal policies are rooted in part in competing partisan perspectives, whereby members of the minority party at the federal level launch challenges from state offices that they control. State challenges are also grounded in contrasting intergovernmental perspectives, in that state officials who lack meaningful input in the passage of federal policies seek to challenge and shape these polices after they are enacted. In general, state resistance to federal policies during the Trump administration reflects continuity with state activity during other recent administrations and in a way that signals the institutionalization of state resistance to federal directives.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
The consumption of electric energy in Brazil in 2018 was 472 GWh, and 28.85% of consumption refers to the residential sector. The Brazilian market for Light Emitting Diode (LED) products grows more than 30% a year, while LED imports have grown from 131 million units in 2015 to 145 million in 2017 (+10.6%). Therefore, the need to improve the technical and conformity assessment requirements for LED bulbs sold in Brazil is evident. This work analyses Electrical and Luminotechnical Parameters in LED lamps considering Brazilian standards analysing some parameters of LED lamps, which employ different topologies in their drivers, when submitted to voltage magnitude variation. Samples are tested on 18 single-base LED lamps with an integrated control device, GLS LED bulbs, available at the Brazilian market. The methodology consists in applying nominals voltages as INMETRO standards determinates. Throughout the tests, measurements are done and compared with the levels established by Brazilian standards. The results show that there are lamps in this study that obtained the certification by regulated Brazilian organization but does not attend to the level determinate by the Brazilian standard, exposing an opportunity for improvement to existing standards and certification process.
Correction of residence time distribution measurements for short holding times in pasteurization processes
Authors: Fortes Nilo H. M. , Gut Jorge A. W. 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
When in-line cells are used for obtaining residence time distribution (RTD) data from systems with short residence time, the signal distortion caused by the cell can compromise the results. A procedure to correct such distortion using convolution of signals in the time domain is proposed. First, the RTD of the cell is characterized, and then the E-curve of an RTD model is convoluted with the cell curve. The convoluted E-curve is fitted to the experimental data by adjusting the mean time and the model parameter. The procedure is demonstrated using a pilot scale pasteurization unit with two heaters, one cooler and six options of holding tube. Pulse experiments were performed, E-curves were obtained for each process step and five RTD models were tested. The convolution procedure was successful in removing the distortion caused by the detection cell, which was very significant for the holding tubes.

Published: September 2020

AbstractObjectiveJournal clubs are accepted as an effective strategy for promoting evidence-based practice (EBP). However, journal clubs are underutilized in nursing education, and little is known about the impact of extracurricular, student-led journal clubs on EBP implementation among baccalaureate nursing students. The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of journal club attendance on EBP implementation.MethodsA web-based survey was conducted in April 2019 following eight sessions of monthly journal club among senior nursing students (n=78).ResultsFifteen students attended four or more extracurricular, student-led journal club sessions (19.2%). EBP practice score was significantly higher among frequent journal club attendees. In multivariate analysis, journal club attendance was the significant predictor of EBP practice (β=0.34; p=0.006).ConclusionGraduating senior nursing students who attend extracurricular, student-led journal club sessions are more likely to carry out EBP practice. Participation in journal clubs may help increase their EBP competencies.
Afrikaans in Patagonia: Language shift and cultural integration in a rural immigrant community

Published: September 2020

AbstractChubut Province, in Patagonia, Argentina, is home to a group of Afrikaans-speaking Boers, descendants of those who–starting in 1902–came to Argentina from the region of present-day South Africa. Although little Afrikaans is spoken among fourth- and fifth-generation community members, many in the third generation (60 years and older) still maintain the language. According to Joshua Fishman’s model of generational language shift, the Boers’ Afrikaans should have been largely diluted by the third generation; older community members today should have little functional knowledge of the language, and their children and grandchildren none. The goal of this paper is to explore the persistence of bilingualism in the Argentine Boer community and explain why the changes normally associated with the third generation of immigrants are only now being seen in the fourth and fifth generations. On the basis of bilingual interviews with living community members, we argue that the community’s attitude toward Afrikaans as a language of group identity, as well as the relative isolation of the community in rural Patagonia in the first half of the 20th century, were both decisive factors in delaying the process of linguistic assimilation. Only in the middle of the 20th century, when the community came into greater contact with Argentine society as a result of modernization and schooling in the region, did the process of linguistic integration begin in a measurable way.
More Monitoring, Less Coordination: Twitter and Facebook Use between Emergency Management Agencies
Authors: Wukich Clayton 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Social media applications facilitate information sharing between agencies, yet scholarship primarily focuses on government-to-citizen communication. This article explores how agencies use social networking applications and microblogs such as Twitter and Facebook to share information and interact with each other. Public information officers (PIOs) from 35 state emergency management agencies were interviewed, and transcripts were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Findings demonstrate that PIOs employ Twitter and Facebook to monitor content for situational awareness, post training opportunities, network with other agencies, and share and reuse content in different ways. Fewer agencies directly coordinate preparedness information campaigns during nonthreat periods and risk communication during emergency response operations. General impediments to those practices include lack of personnel, insufficient technical knowledge, and preferences for other channels. In all, Twitter and Facebook complement—but do not take the place of—other information and communications technology (ICTs) that facilitate operational coordination.

Abstract

Objectives
To compare the safety and efficacy between high dose and low dose oxytocin administration for labor augmentation.

Methods
We searched for the available studies during March 2020 in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ISI Web of science. All randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that assessed safety and efficacy of high dose vs. low dose oxytocin for labor augmentation were considered. The extracted data were entered into RevMan software. Dichotomous and continuous data were pooled as odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) respectively, with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Our main outcomes were cesarean delivery rate, spontaneous vaginal delivery rate, uterine hyperstimulation and tachysystole, and labor duration from oxytocin infusion.

Results
Eight RCTs with 3,154 patients were included. High dose oxytocin did not reduce cesarean delivery rate compared to low dose oxytocin (OR=0.76, 95% CI [0.52, 1.10], p=0.15). After solving the reported heterogeneity, high dose oxytocin did not increase the rate of spontaneous vaginal deliveries vs. low dose oxytocin (OR=1.06, 95% CI [0.84, 1.32], p=0.64). Low dose oxytocin was linked to a significant decline in uterine hyperstimulation and tachysystole (p>0.001). A reduction in labor duration was found in high dose oxytocin group over low oxytocin regimen (MD=−1.02 h, 95% CI [−1.77, −0.27], p=0.008).

Conclusions
We found no advantages for high dose oxytocin over low dose oxytocin in labor augmentation except in reducing labor duration. Low dose oxytocin is safer as it decreases the incidence of uterine hyperstimulation and tachysystole. More trials are needed to confirm our findings.
Smart kills and worthless deaths: eSports analytics for League of Legends
Authors: Maymin Philip Z. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractVast data on eSports should be easily accessible but often is not. League of Legends (LoL) only has rudimentary statistics such as levels, items, gold, and deaths. We present a new way to capture more useful data. We track every champion’s location multiple times every second. We track every ability cast and attack made, all damages caused and avoided, vision, health, mana, and cooldowns. We track continuously, invisibly, remotely, and live. Using a combination of computer vision, dynamic client hooks, machine learning, visualization, logistic regression, large-scale cloud computing, and fast and frugal trees, we generate this new high-frequency data on millions of ranked LoL games, calibrate an in-game win probability model, develop enhanced definitions for standard metrics, introduce dozens more advanced metrics, automate player improvement analysis, and apply a new player-evaluation framework on the basic and advanced stats. How much does an individual contribute to a team’s performance? We find that individual actions conditioned on changes to estimated win probability correlate almost perfectly to team performance: regular kills and deaths do not nearly explain as much as smart kills and worthless deaths. Our approach offers applications for other eSports and traditional sports. All the code is open-sourced.
Anti-Money Laundering Regulation and Practice of Islamic Banks in the United Arab Emirates: A Case Study
Authors: Kumar Ajay 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Banks are key institutions in the economic development of a country, but they are prone to money laundering (ML) as well. Such incidents could lead to sanctions and loss of reputation. To mitigate such risks, banks are required to follow Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. Presently, there are no separate or specific AML regulatory requirements for Islamic banks (IBs). Apart from regulations, understanding practices also help explicate compliance to laws (spirit), by those who apply it. Since the AML practices of IBs have not been systematically analysed, we look at their practices (the United Arab Emirates) to understand whether they have adopted specific AML processes. Owing to the lack of literature on such practices, a survey was carried out using a standard questionnaire. The questionnaire was supplied to the AML/compliance departments, and the results are based on a sample size of three banks. The survey results show that the IBs adopt Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) to check laundering. Crucially, questions pertaining to the AML risk arising from the potential vested interest/s (theoretical) that the IBs themselves are likely to have in the venture remain unanswered.
DP-internal Inversion and Negative Polarity: Latinaliquisand its Romance Descendants
Authors: Gianollo Chiara 
Published: September 2020

AbstractI analyze the Romance descendants of Latinaliquis‘some or other’, which are characterized by a complex pattern of variation in the contemporary Romance languages. I account for this variation in terms of diverging diachronic paths, tracing their determinants back to a process taking place between Classical and late Latin. Classical Latin only usedaliquisas an epistemic indefinite, expressing ignorance about the identity of the referent. In late Latin a distributional extension is observed, andaliquisstarts to be consistently found as an NPI in negative contexts. This multiplicity of uses is transmitted to medieval Romance and represents the prerequisite for contemporary variation. In their further history, some languages continue only one of the two uses. Other languages maintain both, but the meaning contrast comes to be related to a word-order difference. I analyze this difference as a syntactic DP-internal inversion operation, motivated by focus and connected to polarity sensitivity. Significantly, the diachronic path of the Romance descendants ofaliquiscontributes to our understanding of general mechanisms of semantic change, since it instantiates a cline of development that can be related to varying (hence, diachronically changing) constraints on quantificational domains.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Modification of poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) to adapt to the biological properties of materials is currently the key point in the research of medical materials. The tribological properties and biocompatibility of the PEEK composites modified by carbon fiber (CF), potassium titanate whisker(PTW) and nano-particles were discussed in this paper. The results show the modified PEEK composites by a certain length to diameter ratio of CF show the best using effect in vivo experiments in good blood compatibility, which is suitable for orthopaedic implant materials. A large number of experiments show that the PEEK composites would be modified with a certain ratio of CF (about 30%wt.), whisker (about 15%wt.) and HA (about 5%wt.) particle with better biological tribological properties, more important value in medical research.
The role of melatonin and its analogues in epilepsy
Authors: Khan Sumaira , Khurana Mallika , Vyas Preeti , Vohora Divya 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Extensive research has gone into proposing a promising link between melatonin administration and attenuation of epileptic activity, the majority of which suggest its propensity as an antiseizure with antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. In the past few years, a number of studies highlighting the association of the melatonergic ligands with epilepsy have also emerged. In this context, our review is based on discussing the recent studies and various mechanisms of action that the said category of drugs exhibit in the context of being therapeutically viable antiseizure drugs. Our search revealed several articles on the four major drugs i.e. melatonin, agomelatine, ramelteon and piromelatine along with other melatonergic agonists like tasimelteon and TIK-301. Our review is suggestive of antiseizure effects of both melatonin and its analogues; however, extensive research work is still required to study their implications in the treatment of persons with epilepsy. Further evaluation of melatonergic signaling pathways and mechanisms may prove to be helpful in the near future and might prove to be a significant advance in the field of epileptology.
Essais de définition du sémiotique, de la sémiotique et de l’interdisciplinarité
Authors: Hébert Louis 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis article seeks to define what is semiotic and what isSemiotics. Provided first is a brief presentation of various perspectives of Semiotics. Pursuant to this, we will seek to uncover Semiotics’ particulars by evaluating various approaches. We will commence by framing the definitions of the word “Semiotic” to consider then Semiotics via eight particular anthropic – human-related – levels. This partition, derived by the author from a Rastier typology, defines the following levels: noumenophysical, phenophysical, semiotic, representational (“mental images” and concepts), sens (physical), felt (affects), cognitive other and transcendental. From here, we will consider theplaceof Semioticsamongdisciplines. Finally, the text presents a typology of relationship between disciplines, including semiotics: anadisciplinarity, disciplinarity, valodisciplinarity, intradisciplinary (such as intertheoricity), multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, metadisciplinarity).
Wellenlängenoptimierung bei Heterodyn-Phasenschiebeverfahren
Authors: Petz Marcus , Dierke Hanno , Tutsch Rainer 
Published: September 2020

Zusammenfassung
Optische Messverfahren nach dem Prinzip der strukturierten Beleuchtung bedienen sich oftmals der Kombination eines Phasenschiebeverfahrens mit einem geeigneten Entfaltungsverfahren, um eine im Messbereich eindeutige Ortskodierung vorzunehmen. Ein leistungsfähiges Verfahren aus dieser Klasse stellt das Heterodyn-Phasenschiebeverfahren dar, welches auf der sequenziellen Registrierung mehrerer Phasenschiebesequenzen mit geringfügig unterschiedlicher Periodenlänge und Auswertung der synthetischen Schwebungssignale zwischen diesen basiert. Die geeignete Auswahl der hierfür zu kombinierenden Periodenlängen hat entscheidenden Einfluss sowohl auf die Robustheit des Entfaltungsverfahrens als auch auf die statistische Unsicherheit der resultierenden Ortskodierung. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des Heterodynverfahrens vorgestellt und einer detaillierten Analyse im Hinblick auf seine statistischen Eigenschaften unterzogen. Im Ergebnis werden Kriterien zur Bestimmung geeigneter Periodenlängen formuliert, die eine Maximierung der Robustheit des Entfaltungsvorgangs und eine Minimierung der Unsicherheit der Ortskodierung ermöglichen.
Territorial Justice in Israel/Palestine
Authors: Moore Margaret 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis Article examines the two dominant theories of territorial justice — one associated with justice, the other with self–determination. It applies these theories to the case of Israel/Palestine, and to ongoing claims by political actors with respect to territorial rights there. It argues that justice theory seems to straightforwardly suppose the territorial rights of the State of Israel, at least if historical and retrospective considerations are not at the forefront, though once they are brought in, this argument can be deployed in support of a number of different political positions. The self–determination argument, it is argued, is somewhat less indeterminate and seems to most straightforwardly support a “two–state” compromise. However, as with justice theory, its assumptions can be challenged on a number of fronts, and could also be deployed to buttress other arguments. The merits and challenges of both theories are analyzed through this case study.
