Experiencing the interpreter’s role
Authors: Hokkanen Sari 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This paper proposes an affective approach to examining the interpreter’s role. More specifically, it suggests that, by considering the interpreters’ subjective feelings of involvement and detachment related to an interpreted event, we can examine the ways in which their role is constructed, within and through a combination of personal, social, and material factors related to the setting and the interpreter’s working conditions. As an example, I take the case of simultaneous interpreting in two religious settings, which I have studied with autoethnography. Thus, I analyze my experiences of interpreting in two religious settings and contrast these experiences to an “ideal” model of the interpreter’s role in such settings: that of the fully involved participant. The analysis indicates that, while an internalized ideal model of role may provide a point of reference for reflection, the actual experience of role emerges in a complicated interaction between personal, social, and material aspects.
Socio-technical issues in professional translation practice
Authors: Ehrensberger-Dow Maureen , Massey Gary 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
According to the International Ergonomics Association, a focus on organizational ergonomics recognizes that people work within socio-technical systems that encompass tools, equipment, and computer interfaces as well as other actors in their professional environment and networks. In recent research, we have started investigating such socio-technical factors from an ergonomic perspective. Observations at professional workplaces, responses to questionnaires, and in-depth interviews with translators suggest that their perceived self-determination is more important to the success of socio-technical change than the technological developments themselves. A lack of involvement in decision-making at the workflow level may explain why so many translators have been resistant to taking new technology on board. We discuss how a feedback culture could mitigate many socio-technical issues by giving translators a voice in change and empowering them to contribute to organizational learning and growth.
Islamic conservative populism in Turkey
Authors: Özen Hariye M. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This study focuses the Islamic/conservative populism of the Justice and the Development Party (AKP) in Turkey. Drawing on the post-structuralist discourse-theoretical perspective developed by Ernesto Laclau, it demonstrates how the populist discourse of the AKP substantially changed in this period through fluctuations in the boundaries that separated ‘the people’ from ‘the power’ as well as the components of both of these categories. While ‘the people’ signifier initially acted as an empty signifier that represented a series of unfulfilled social demands against ‘the power’ – the institutional system – that negated these demands, it gradually came to signify Islamic/conservative demands against all those opposing the AKP. This transformation involved a move from a relatively inclusive and democratic populism to an exclusive and authoritarian one.
The discursive construction of the people in European political discourse
Authors: Truan Naomi 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Who are the people? As a semantically underspecified noun, the lexeme “people” and related terms such as “citizen(s)” or “constituent(s)” lead to various representations and are filled with competing meanings. By undertaking a cross-linguistic analysis of the semantic value of nouns denoting human referents in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, this paper investigates how the “people” (people in English, Volk in German, peuple in French) and related linguistic expressions (notably Mensch, Bürger, citoyen) are discursively staged in national parliamentary debates on Europe.
The people represent the entity Members of Parliament (MPs) speak to, about, and on behalf of. In political sciences, mentioning the people immediately raises concerns about a populist message or stance. To which extent, then, does the reference to “the people” or “a people” pertain to a populist stance?
Based on an annotated corpus of forty-four national parliamentary debates between 1998 and 2015, this paper uses mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) to assess how the “people” are referred to across the political spectrum in the British House of Commons, the German Bundestag and the French Assemblée nationale. By taking into account a large amount of speakers across different times and cultures, the analysis shows that the reference to “the people” – partly in opposition to “a people” – is a basic component of political discourse, thus indicating that the mere mention of the “people” cannot be regarded as a feature of populist rhetoric.

ABSTRACTGlioblastoma is the most prevalent and aggressive primary brain tumour for which total tumour lysate‐pulsed dendritic cell vaccination is currently under clinical evaluation. Glioblastoma extracellular vesicles (EVs) may represent an enriched cell‐free source of tumour‐associated (neo‐) antigens to pulse dendritic cells (DCs) for the initiation of an anti‐tumour immune response. Capture and uptake of EVs by DCs could occur in a receptor‐mediated and presumably glycan‐dependent way, yet the glycan composition of glioblastoma EVs is unknown. Here, we set out to characterize the glycocalyx composition of glioblastoma EVs by lectin‐binding ELISA and comprehensive immunogold transmission electron microscopy (immuno‐TEM). The surface glycan profile of human glioblastoma cell line‐derived EVs (50–200 nm) was dominated by α‐2,3‐ and α‐2,6 linked sialic acid‐capped complexN‐glycans and bi‐antennaryN‐glycans. Since sialic acids can trigger immune inhibitory sialic acid–binding Ig‐like lectin (Siglec) receptors, we screened for Siglec ligands on the EVs. Glioblastoma EVs showed significant binding to Siglec‐9, which is highly expressed on DCs. Surprisingly, however, glioblastoma EVs lack glycans that could bind Dendritic Cell‐Specific Intercellular adhesion molecule‐3‐Grabbing Non‐integrin (DC‐SIGN, CD209), a receptor that mediates uptake and induction of CD4+and CD8+T cell activation. Therefore, we explored whether modification of the EV glycan surface could reduce immune inhibitory Siglec binding, while enhancing EV internalization by DCs in a DC‐SIGN dependent manner. Desialylation with a pan‐sialic acid hydrolase led to reduction of sialic acid expression on EVs. Moreover, insertion of a high‐affinity ligand (LewisY) for DC‐SIGN resulted in a four‐fold increase of uptake by monocyte‐derived DCs. In conclusion, we show that the glycocalyx composition of EVs is a key factor of efficient DC targeting and that modification of the EV glycocalyx potentiates EVs as anti‐cancer vaccine.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease is a disorder that leads to fluid filled cysts that replace normal renal tubes. During the process of cellular development and in the progression of the diseases, fibrocystin can lead to impaired organ formation and even cause organ defects. Besides cellular polarity, mechanical properties play major roles in providing the optimal apical-basal or anterior–posterior symmetry within epithelial cells. A breakdown of the cell symmetry that is usually associated with mechanical property changes and it is known to be essential in many biological processes such as cell migration, polarity and pattern formation especially during development and diseases such as the autosomal recessive cystic kidney disease. Since the breakdown of the cell symmetry can be evoked by several proteins including fibrocystin, we hypothesized that cell mechanics are altered by fibrocystin. However, the effect of fibrocystin on cell migration and cellular mechanical properties is still unclear. In order to explore the function of fibrocystin on cell migration and mechanics, we analyzed fibrocystin knockdown epithelial cells in comparison to fibrocystin control cells. We found that invasiveness of fibrocystin knockdown cells into dense 3D matrices was increased and more efficient compared to control cells. Using optical cell stretching and atomic force microscopy, fibrocystin knockdown cells were more deformable and exhibited weaker cell–matrix as well as cell–cell adhesion forces, respectively. In summary, these findings show that fibrocystin knockdown cells displayed increased 3D matrix invasion through providing increased cellular deformability, decreased cell–matrix and reduced cell–cell adhesion forces.

AbstractUniversities play a significant role in creating a sustainable future and transforming societies. As universities move towards environmental sustainability, a valuable contribution from the higher education sector is expected to accelerate the transformation of our cities. Campus green building initiatives are dramatically changing the way campuses are planned, designed, built and managed. However, prioritizing and evaluating campus green building initiatives seems understudied. The study offers an insight into the advantages of implementing green building initiatives in building operation and maintenance in campuses and provides an excellent proving ground to enhance the performance of campus buildings. A set of frameworks and policy implications in terms of investment decision making, facility management, operational quality control, and planning and design are proposed to improve the effectiveness of green building initiatives at higher education buildings. This study sheds light on performance evaluation of campus buildings, which could be used as a reference for the design, construction and operation of sustainable campus buildings. Energy dashboards, revising the automated operation of buildings, facilitating changes in staff and student behaviours, and operational energy performance certification were identified as important campus-wide energy policies.

Vacant house utilization making use of the quarry ground water in Oya area
Authors: Wakabayashi Hideaki 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
In the Oya area of Utsunomiya City in Tochigi prefecture, because of the decline of the Oya-stone industry due to the rise of new construction materials and overseas production materials, abandoned agricultural lands and empty houses increased. However, recently in the Oya area, local government has tackled with the revitalization of the area utilizing abundant underground water of the Oya-stone quarry, which was once a facility of Oya-stone industry. For example, the place in which groundwater is accumulated in the quarry is utilized for underground lake cruise. Also, attention has been recently paid to the fact that the average water temperature of the quarry groundwater is about 7 degrees lower than that of ordinal groundwater, and business projects utilizing the quarry groundwater as a heat source for heat exchange system have recently been promoted by local government. As well as those approaches for revitalization, local government of Utsunomiya city has been tackling with reuse of empty houses.
Therefore, this study explores the possibility of region revitalization utilizing regional resources in the Oya area, evaluating proposed empty house utilization that makes use of the quarry groundwater as a heat source of heat exchange system from the viewpoint of environmental burden.
In this study, we investigated buildings in the Oya area, and made a building information database. Assuming a case where a empty house is renovated and utilized as a restaurant that is short in Oya area, Eight buildings with different insulation performance and air conditioning method were modeled using the building information database. We evaluated the lifecycle CO2 emissions of those building models when utilized. As a result, it is estimated that about 70% of CO2 emissions can be reduced by improving insulation performance and air conditioning system and by utilizing quarry groundwater as heat source of heat exchange system.
Limits of decontamination in rural areas radioactively contaminated by TEPCO nuclear power plant accident and new concept for recover planning
Authors: Itonaga Koji 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This is an empirical study on the actual condition of pollution and decontamination in Iitate Village, Fukushima Prefecture, in the affected area of radioactive contamination released by Tokyo Electric Power Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant caused by the Great East Japan Great Earthquake of March 2011. I have clarified the air dose rate in residential area, housing, field, and mountain area around housing. Although there is a decline in spatial dose due to natural decay and decontamination, it is not an environment suitable for residence and agriculture work. I investigated the housing which was released from evacuation. According to the survey in 2017, although the dose in the housing tends to be greater in high space, it is less than 0.6 μSv/h. However, the room adjacent to the forest has a dose of about 1.4 times that of the central room. The surface of the residential land is 0.65 μSv/h on average, exceeding the regulation standard value of the radiation control area. In the forest soil surrounding the residential land after decontamination, radioactive cesium is still 40, 000 Bq/kg. Despite this contamination situation, the evacuation designation was cancelled at the end of March 2017 under unreasonable circumstances. Villagers who went back home had no choice but to produce vegetables in farmland where pollution continues, even though they were decontaminated. Radioactive Cs is also contained in decontaminated agricultural land. It is unreasonable to make agricultural products on land contaminated with Cs. Fortunately, the transition rate of Cs is extremely low, and it is not a problem for the elderly to eat. However, this absurdity continues. Products of contaminated forests cannot be eaten in the foreseeable future, and rich agricultural livelihoods have been lost. New land use planning methods, including the prohibition of land use of radioactively contaminated forests, are needed.
Regional differences of wintry indoor thermal environment of traditional houses in Nepal

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Nepal has sub-tropical to cold regions due to large altitude difference. The traditional houses are well adapted to the local climate with the use of local building materials. However, traditional practice has been diminished by more introduction of the artificial building materials, modern design and new technology. Under this circumstance, some strong policies based on a field research to sustain the traditional architecture with some rational modern metamorphosis is necessary. For this reason, we investigated the wintry indoor thermal environment of traditional houses in three climatic regions of Nepal. We measured the indoor thermal environment all together nine houses in cold, temperate and sub-tropical regions during the winter in December 2016. The houses were found to be eighty percent of the time below 11°C, 16°C and 22°C in cold, temperate and sub-tropical regions, respectively. This result is well attributed to the regional climatic difference and the thermal characteristics of building materials used. The traditional houses surveyed are considered to be adapted to the climates because of the local availability of building materials.
Using computer climate generator versus conventional lapse rate to model skyscrapers
Authors: Hirasuga Nobuhiro , Leung Luke 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The values of temperature and humidity at the top of skyscrapers are different from those near the ground. Thus, different mechanical systems, air flow rates, and other design parameters are required for such tall buildings. Conventional air temperature reduces linearly with increasing altitude, or lapse rate, of −6.5 °C/km. This study examines how the conventional lapse rate in a hot and humid region differs by using a computer-based climate generator in Dubai at an altitude of 600 m, we address three issues: whether the conventional lapse rate is always a good indicator of the climate profile, whether building design conditions change with altitude, and by how much the predicted energy consumption changes with altitude. Our first conclusion is that the conventional lapse rate may not always be a good indicator of the climate profile. The lapse rate is influenced by humidity. When humidity is low, the lapse rate tends to be higher and can reach up to −9.8 °C/km under adiabatic conditions. Conversely, when humidity is high, and as temperature drops with increasing elevation, condensation occurs and releases heat of vaporization, which warms the air and reduces the lapse rate. Under certain conditions, temperature inversion can occur, and the temperature above the ground may be higher than the temperature at 600 m altitude. Our second conclusion is that the linear lapse rate is not always a good predictor of design conditions. During the summer, there is a tendency to underestimate the lapse rate due to low relative humidity. In contrast, during winter, there is a tendency to overestimate the lapse rate due to low temperatures and high relative humidity. Last but not least, the linear lapse rate is not always a good indicator of energy consumption. Based on simulations, we found that differences in the lapse rate and the air density influenced the energy consumed by the air conditioning system in an office building. Specifically, between altitudes of 11 and 600 m, the energy consumption differed by approximately 5%.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
An air conditioning system has been developed that can select the operation pattern of a through-wall type unit (TWU) according to the air conditioning needs. There is a night-time cool breeze mode like natural ventilation using a fan in modes. The thermal environment and ventilation volume of office buildings can be greatly influenced by outdoor thermal conditions, and it is necessary to grasp the actual conditions. Therefore, in this research, the observational study of thermal environment and ventilation performance was conducted, and was compared and analysed with the simulation result. The cross-section wind velocity distribution was characterized in each area, but the wind velocity in the residential area was about 0.1 to 0.2 m/s, and no draft was seen immediately below the bypass duct outlet. It was almost in agreement with the simulation results. The ventilation performance survey revealed that the windward side was slightly difficult to ventilate. However, there was no big difference in the age of air depending on the location. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the total ventilation volume even if the outdoor thermal conditions were different. It was confirmed that the TWU had expected performance and stable ventilation performance was secured.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
For a sustainable society, we must consider how to reduce the CO2 emissions from buildings; however, the ventilation frequency in the toilet (i.e., bathroom or water closet) has not been changed in recent years. Only a few attempts have been made so far to reduce the ventilation frequency in toilets to save energy, despite their further technological developments. In this report, we considered evacuating the odor as soon as possible by providing an exhaust port at the bottom of the wall (hereinafter referred to as baseboard deodorization). We also considered the effect of baseboard deodorization for different toilet (bathroom) sizes. First, we surveyed the relationship between the odor detected by a sensor and a human’s olfactory sense and the ventilation volume with the toilet in operation to verify the usefulness of the sensors. Secondly, we analyzed the air environment using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results of the measurements and a questionnaire survey showed a certain degree of correlation between the indication of the degree of contamination in the air and the odor intensity. The results of the CFD analysis indicated that large-scale toilets could accumulate air more easily than small toilets; however, in either case, the ammonia concentration could be lowered by using baseboard deodorization. It was also found that the exhaust from baseboard deodorization greatly contributed to reducing the ammonia concentration.

Abstract
Increased satisfaction with thermal environments in office significantly affects workplace productivity. Conventional air-conditioning systems are intended to achieve a uniform thermal environment across the entire air-conditioned space. However, due to differences in thermal sensation among individuals, it is difficult to improve occupants’ thermal satisfaction merely by providing a uniform thermal environment. In this study, we developed an air-conditioning system called the Smart Wellness Control System with the aim of realizing air conditioning that responds to individual variance in thermal satisfaction. The system collects data from sensors about the locations of individual occupants and the thermal environments to which they are exposed, records this data together with their votes on their thermal sensation, and modifies and learns their comfort indices accordingly to control the speeds of personal fans and the air temperature setting. We conducted a questionnaire survey of occupants in an actual office building equipped with this system; the results indicated that use of the Smart Wellness Control System increased their satisfaction with the thermal environment by about 50% and increased their productivity by about 25%.
