Authors: Martínez Arizpe María Angélica , González Trujillo Gerardo , Rico Galeana Maricarmen , Carretero Larrea María Alejandra 
Published: September 2021

El artículo muestra un análisis sobre cómo afecta la corrupción y la delincuencia a las micro y pequeñas empresas (mypes) de México, desde la percepción del empresario. Se fundamenta en los resultados obtenidos, de una muestra de 381 encuestas aplicadas a mypes de toda la república mexicana. Se analizan las características de las mypes, los factores de bienestar y desarrollo organizacional, los efectos de corrupción y delincuencia, así como las acciones que toman los empresarios ante estos fenómenos. La causa específica del vandalismo contra establecimientos es la situación que más afecta a las mypes mexicanas, que en vez de invertir en recursos, insumos o en el desarrollo organizacional, se tienen que realizar erogaciones principalmente para cambiar cerraduras y candados, instalar alarmas o videocámaras, asimismo cambiar puertas y ventanas. El estudio pone de manifiesto las necesidades y áreas de oportunidad que deben considerar los propietarios.
AbstractThis article sets forth an analysis on how corruption and delinquency affect micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Mexico, from an entrepreneur’s perspective. The outcomes are substantiated by results obtained from a sample of 381 surveys applied to MSEs throughout the Mexican Republic. An analysis was performed on MSEs characteristics, well-being and organizational development, the effects of corruption and delinquency as well as the steps taken by entrepreneurs in response to this phenomenon. Specifically, vandalism towards establishments is the issue that most affect Mexican MSEs, so, rather than investing in resources, commodities or in organizational development, a need to invest in having to change locks and padlocks, installing alarms and video cameras, as well as having to replace doors and windows. This research highlights the needs and areas of opportunity that company owners must consider.

Published: September 2021

In a general sense, concrete is made of cementitious material, aggregates and water but the mix productivity is one issues that affect the amount of strength concrete developed. The concrete mix productivity is a direct function of the amount and quality of the cementitious material. The commonest cementitious material used for concrete in Ghana like other countries in the world is the Ordinary Portland Cement. The research sort to investigate the compressive strength properties of concrete made from some common Ghanaian Ordinary Portland Cement brands mostly used in the countries construction industries. The research strategy adopted was experimental. The research was a cross –sectional studies and used laboratory tests to get information on all cements. Cement grade 42.5N, 42.5R and 32.5R were used. A total of one – hundred and eight (108) concrete cubes were made from nine different brands of Ordinary Portland Cement with a mix design of 1:2:4. No admixtures were used in the mix. It was established that, Ordinary Portland Cement Brand E of grade 42.5R has the highest compressive strength after 28 days. Some of the cement brand with grade 32.5R developed better strength than that of grade 42.5R. Based on the experiment conducted, it can be concluded that for the C15 (1:2:4) and C20 compressive strength as per IS 456:2000, Ordinary Portland Cement Brand E and G of grade 42.5R and Ordinary Portland Cement Brand H and J of grade of 32.5R satisfactory meets the requirement. It implies that some of the Ghanaians Portland Cement developed a satisfactory compressive strength and meets the minimum strength attainment after 28 days’ which is 15 N/mm2. Based on the result, it is recommended that Ordinary Portland Cement Brand E of grade 42.5R should be used for most concrete production and Ordinary Portland Cement Brand J of grade 32.5R can also be used for concrete work in the absence of E 42.5R.

Abstract. Coupled numerical models, which simulate water and energy fluxes in the
subsurface–land-surface–atmosphere system in a physically consistent way, are
a prerequisite for the analysis and a better understanding of heat and
matter exchange fluxes at compartmental boundaries and interdependencies of
states across these boundaries. Complete state evolutions generated by such
models may be regarded as a proxy of the real world, provided they are run
at sufficiently high resolution and incorporate the most important
processes. Such a simulated reality can be used to test hypotheses on the
functioning of the coupled terrestrial system. Coupled simulation systems,
however, face severe problems caused by the vastly different scales of the
processes acting in and between the compartments of the terrestrial system,
which also hinders comprehensive tests of their realism. We used the
Terrestrial Systems Modeling Platform (TerrSysMP), which couples the
meteorological Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO) model, the land-surface Community Land Model (CLM), and the subsurface
ParFlow model, to generate a simulated catchment for a regional terrestrial
system mimicking the Neckar catchment in southwest Germany, the virtual
Neckar catchment. Simulations for this catchment are made for the period
2007–2015 and at a spatial resolution of 400 m for the land surface and
subsurface and 1.1 km for the atmosphere. Among a discussion of modeling
challenges, the model performance is evaluated based on observations
covering several variables of the water cycle. We find that the simulated
catchment behaves in many aspects quite close to observations of the real
Neckar catchment, e.g., concerning atmospheric boundary-layer height,
precipitation, and runoff. But also discrepancies become apparent, both in
the ability of the model to correctly simulate some processes which still
need improvement, such as overland flow, and in the realism of some
observation operators like the satellite-based soil moisture sensors. The
whole raw dataset is available for interested users. The dataset described
here is available via the CERA database (Schalge et al., 2020):

NDCmitiQ v1.0.0: a tool to quantify and analyse greenhouse gas mitigation targets
Authors: Günther Annika , Gütschow Johannes , Jeffery Mairi Louise 
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Parties to the Paris Agreement (PA, 2015) outline their planned contributions towards achieving the PA temperature goal to “hold […] the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 ∘C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 ∘C” (Article 2.1.a, PA) in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Most NDCs include targets to mitigate national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which need quantifications to assess i.a. whether the current NDCs collectively put us on track to reach the PA temperature goals or the gap in ambition to do so. We implemented the new open-source tool “NDCmitiQ” to quantify GHG mitigation targets defined in the NDCs for all countries with quantifiable targets on a disaggregated level and to create corresponding national and global emissions pathways. In light of the 5-year update cycle of NDCs and the global stocktake, the quantification of NDCs is an ongoing task for which NDCmitiQ can be used, as calculations can easily be updated upon submission of new NDCs.
In this paper, we describe the methodologies behind NDCmitiQ and quantification challenges we encountered
by addressing a wide range of aspects, including target types and the input data from within NDCs; external time series of national emissions, population, and GDP; uniform approach vs. country specifics; share of national emissions covered by NDCs; how to deal with the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) component and the conditionality of pledges; and establishing pathways from single-year targets. For use in NDCmitiQ, we furthermore construct an emissions data set from the baseline emissions provided in the NDCs.
Example use cases show how the tool can help to analyse targets on a national, regional, or global scale and to quantify uncertainties caused by a lack of clarity in the NDCs. Results confirm that the conditionality of targets and assumptions about economic growth dominate uncertainty in mitigated emissions on a global scale, which are estimated as 48.9–56.1 Gt CO2 eq. AR4 for 2030 (10th/90th percentiles, median: 51.8 Gt CO2 eq. AR4; excluding LULUCF and bunker fuels; submissions until 17 April 2020 and excluding the USA). We estimate that 77 % of global 2017 emissions were emitted from sectors and gases covered by these NDCs.
Addressing all updated NDCs submitted by 31 December 2020 results in an estimated 45.6–54.1 Gt CO2 eq. AR4 (median: 49.6 Gt CO2 eq. AR4, now including the USA again) and increased coverage.
Developing assessment instruments: The effect of a reviser’s profile on the quality of the revision product
Authors: Van Rensburg Alta 
Published: September 2021

Translation revision is such a new field of study that there are still very few empirical studies from which to learn more about matters such as the ideal profile of a reviser or the assessment instruments with which to determine the quality of a revision product. This article describes the development of two such assessment instruments. Instrument 1 employs categories that describe a revision product and Instrument 2 comprises a formula for quantifying the quality of a revision product. These assessment instruments were applied in an empirical study involving 30 revised translations to determine whether there is any relationship between aspects of a reviser’s profile, such as qualifications and translation and revision experience, and the quality of their revision product.
Encouraging legibility and comprehensibility through multimodal patient information guides
Authors: Prieto-Velasco Juan Antonio , Montalt-Resurrecció Vicent 
Published: September 2021

Medical texts intended for patients are a key instrument in doctor–patient communication. Through a process of heterofunctional translation, they can be adapted to the needs and expectations of their recipients. Most techniques aimed at making reading and understanding easier are linguistic in nature, and little attention has been paid to the role played by visuals. Through a questionnaire and a focus group, this pilot study explored patients’ perception and reception of images in a patient information guide. Our main finding was that visuals depicting medical concepts can be graphical support for unfamiliar concepts and encourage comprehension of texts aimed at patients. The most useful type of visual appears to be simplified images describing concepts with clarity and preventing recipients from recalling unpleasant experiences.
New efforts? A competence-oriented task analysis of interlingual live subtitling
Authors: Pöchhacker Franz , Remael Aline 
Published: September 2021

This article offers a theoretical analysis of interlingual live subtitling as a translational task with the aim of defining the skill set and competence profile to be developed by future practitioners. The outcome of this task analysis will thus serve to guide curriculum design both for training in interlingual live subtitling and for developing task-specific teaching methods. While taking account of the findings of empirical studies conducted in the context of the EU-funded Erasmus+ project, Interlingual Live Subtitling for Access[i]and related research, our line of argument is essentially deductive: models of the interpreting process and of translational competence are our essential points of departure. Our process analysis of interlingual live subtitling, which refers to the Effort Model, will identify subprocesses and subskills. The latter will be put together in a competence model as a framework that can be filled with specific learning outcomes for training in interlingual live subtitling.[i] This research was carried out within the framework of the European ILSA Project (for further information see www.ilsaproject.eu), though it was not part of the funded Intellectual Outputs of the project. We would like to thank our ILSA partners for their critical reading of the draft version of this article and their constructive input.

Marxist Feminism: An Analysis on Class Structure and Position of Women in Malayalam movie -“Chemmeen”
Authors: Ann Rose Davis  
Published: September 2021

The Malayalam film industry, prominently known as “Mollywood,” is one of the fast-changing faces in Indian cinema. This paper tries to examine one of the Malayalam movies, Chemeen, through the lens of Marxist Feminism. The primary text chosen for the study is the movie, Chemeen, an adaptation of Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai’s novel with the same name. The story revolves around the lives of Karuthamma and Pareekutt, lovers whose life cannot be led together because of the strong influence of caste and class in their society. This is one of the liberal texts in Malayalam Literature narrating the Kerala fishing community’s lives, customs, traditions, and beliefs. The research paper’s primary focus will be on society’s hierarchy through the reflection of Mollywood cinema, the stereotyping of certain characters based on their class and caste, the aftermath of marriage, and the domineering male-centric society female fellowships through deities.
A Paradigmatic Critique of Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker
Authors: Dr Ajita Bhattacharya  
Published: September 2021

Harold Pinter lived and wrote his plays after the World War period. In this period scholars were associated with the portrayal of unrefined and crude factors of warfare which were, directly and indirectly, related to the people of that time. They also depicted how governments were exploiting common people in the name of safety and warfare. Despite the fact that Pinter's plays are not actually about warfare or the circumstance of Wars, his plays have the impressions of warfare in various shades. His plays display various levels of human existence. There is an exploration of mental, social, financial, human relationship, and the existential methodology of existence with ludicrousness in his plays. Pinter’s relationship is with the real elements of human existence and activities. He denies the idea of realism in his plays and says that “If you press me for a definition. I would say that what goes on in my plays is realistic, but what I’m doing is not realism” (The Essential Pinter, 11). He always tried to depict concrete and particular idea in his plays through concrete characters. He never wrote his plays for any kind of abstract idea. He is associated with realism in the matter of approach of depiction to the crude and drastic realities of the time. He has represented the post-war British socio-political issues, sensibilities and psychological as well as mental states of the human mind.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating condition that causes severe symptoms, impaired functional capacity and poor quality of life. Exercise training has been shown to be a safe and effective therapy for improving physical function, dyspnea and quality of life in patients with IPF. However, due to pathophysiological limitations and symptom burden, conducting safe and effective exercise interventions is challenging; optimal program components and training modalities are yet to be established. Resistance training (RT) is a well-established exercise modality for combating effects of aging, disuse and chronic diseases, although there are scarce data available among patients with IPF. The current review briefly summarizes the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of IPF and describes the numerous health and clinical benefits of RT among older adults and patients with respiratory disease. It then explores the potential RT mechanisms for overcoming exercise limitations in IPF, which may provide a therapeutic opportunity for rehabilitation. Finally, the review suggests practical RT recommendations for pulmonary rehabilitation programs in patients with IPF.
