Make it different! Teaching interpreting with theatre techniques
Authors: Kadrić Mira 
Published: October 2017

Dialogue Interpreting (DI) involves the human being as a whole, with both her/his body and mind as well as social and communicative needs. It is a combination of intellect and feeling, which requires the rational mind to operate in an emotional setting. This concept is illustrated in detail in the present paper using methods taken from theatre pedagogy and applied to interpreter education. The method of performing scenes focuses on the way language, action and awareness influence each other. The goal of this didactic approach is to identify habitual behaviours, analyse and deconstruct societal structures of power, and promote independent interpreting work – trying out new possibilities helps adjust and alter discourses and demonstrates that for every decision there is an alternative.
“That we all behave like professionals”
Authors: Skaaden Hanne 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
How may interpreting students acquire professional identity and knowledge online? The chapter explores knowledge building through the discourse analysis of students’ and facilitators’ interactions in real-time, text-only chats in a blended course. The university level course (30 ECTS) applies an experiential-dialogic approach to learning that sees the teacher as a facilitator. In the chat logs, the students discuss dilemmas of practice, while the facilitators reflect on the students’ ability to articulate knowledge through action in role-played exercises. The qualitative analysis shows how the didactic approach allows for professional identity and knowledge to develop. The data are derived from multiple year classes, each with up to eighty students from eight to ten working languages (WLs). To enter the course, students pass an admittance test that evaluates their listening and speaking skills in both WLs, one of which is always Norwegian. An exam testing practical interpreting skills completes the course.
Nice as a cultural keyword
Authors: Waters Sophia 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This chapter investigates the English word nice as a cultural keyword, around which sociality discourses revolve. Focusing on its semantic scope in Australian discourse, the keyword nice has an important story to tell about socially accepted and approved ways of thinking, communicating and behaving. Oftentimes nice has been trivialised, or even ridiculed as an “empty word”, but closer scrutiny reveals that nice has all the characteristics of a cultural keyword. It is frequent and foundational in Australian discourse, and it reflects cultural logics, values and orientations. Also, as is common with cultural keywords, nice lacks translational equivalents, even in closely related languages. A comparison with French gentil demonstrates how nice is distinctive in the way it organises and maintains specific discursive orders.
Cantonese ‘mong4’
Authors: Leung Helen Hue Lam 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This chapter investigates the Hong Kong Cantonese cultural keyword ‘mong4’.1

Mong is usually translated into English as busy and into Mandarin as máng, but though their meanings overlap, many examples of busy and máng cannot be translated directly into Cantonese using mong. This is because mong has a culturally significant meaning and usage, and is linked to a specific value system supported by Hong Kong discourse. This chapter examines some differences between mong, busy and máng, explores Hong Kong discourses of work and life, and the meta-discourse surrounding mong in the speech community. A Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) explication for mong is proposed in English and Cantonese.
Pluralities of events
Authors: Donazzan Marta , Tovena Lucia M. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In this paper, we tackle the issue of the semantics of semelfactive predicates by looking at ata-nominalisations built on instrument semelfactive verbs in Italian. Being nomen vicis forms, these nominalisations denote singular instances of events. The comparison allows us to cast new light on the issue of what counts as a unit in the domain of semelfactive verbs. We then apply this line of exploration to the issue of the double reading of semelfactives – semel and processive, and show that the two readings of their ata-nominalisations correspond to predicates belonging to distinct aspectual types.
Partial subject paradigms and feature geometry in Northern Occitan dialects
Authors: Oliviéri Michèle , Lai Jean-Pierre , Heap David 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In between the minority of Romance languages that have full paradigms of subject clitics (e.g. Standard French) and the unmarked null subject grammars (e.g. Spanish, Italian and most Occitan dialects), a continuum of transitional varieties shows between one and five nominative clitics. Unlike the better documented Northern Italian Dialects, Northern Occitan Dialects have nominative clitics paradigms which typically begin with distinct meteorological subjects. The shape and sequence of the partial nominative clitic paradigms maps the progressive diachronic introduction of contrasts using underspecified monovalent features organized hierarchically to reflect implicational dependencies, following Harley & Ritter’s (2002) Feature Geometry. Meteorological subject pronouns play a crucial role in this diachronic progression precisely because they lack morphological features and therefore can map onto non-referential subjects.
Modality, presupposition and discourse
Authors: Amaral Patrícia , Del Prete Fabio 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This paper provides a semantic analysis of the particles afinal (European Portuguese) and alla fine (Italian) in terms of the notion of truth unpersistence, which can be situated at the intersection of epistemic modality and discourse structure. In the analysis proposed, the particles are propositional operators and require that the truth of a proposition p* fail to persist through a temporal succession of epistemic states, this proposition being incompatible with the prejacent, and that the interlocutors share knowledge of a previous epistemic attitude toward p*. We analyze two main cases (plan-related and non plan-related propositions) and also show that these particles are indexical to one (or more) epistemic agent(s) and allow for shifts in perspective.
Locality constraints on θ-theory
Authors: Kaminszczik Sonia , Saab Andrés 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
We focus on a pattern of Spanish se-reflexivization in ditransitive contexts that has not received due attention in the previous literature, namely, the impossibility of reflexivizing the direct object in presence of a dative clitic. In doing so, we will argue in favor of a particular long-distance approach to θ-assignment and against attract-based models. We will also defend the view of se as an edge marker (i.e., a v expletive) and argue against the hypothesis of se as residue of A-movement.
Epistemic uses of the verb decir in La Paz Spanish
Authors: Quartararo Geraldine 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
This paper explores semantic extensions and pragmatic functions of two evidential forms found in La Paz Spanish, digamos ‘let’s say’ and dice ‘s/he says’. Both forms are inflected forms of the verb decir ‘to say’. The form dice ‘s/he says’ has the function of a reported evidential form, conforming to results from previous studies (Babel 2009; Olbertz 2007; Travis 2006; Laprade 1981), while the form digamos is used according to a previously unnoticed function of an inferential evidential.
Structural approaches to code-switching
Authors: Toribio Almeida Jacqueline 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The present contribution reflects on the competing disciplinary, ideological, and methodological tensions in the study of bilingual code-switching and advocates for a data-driven structural approach to the patterns of language mixing attested across language pairings and Speech communities. More specifically, the chapter argues for the benefits of corpus and computational techniques in yielding reliable and replicable findings with which to confront long-standing questions and established theoretical constructs and in advancing our understanding of this bilingual phenomenon.
What are the “phonemes” in phoneme-grapheme mappings?
Authors: Cahill Lynne 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The CELEX lexical database (Baayen, Piepenbrock & van Rijn 1995) was developed in the 1990s,
providing a database of the syntactic, morphological, phonological and orthographic forms of between 50,000 and 125,000 words of Dutch,
English and German. This database was used as the basis for the development of the PolyLex lexicons, which included syntactic, morphological
and phonological information for around 3,000 words of Dutch, English and German. Orthographic information was subsequently added in the
PolyOrth project. The PolyOrth project was based on the assumption that the underlying, lexical phonological forms could be used to derive
the surface orthographic forms by means of a combination of phoneme-grapheme mappings and sets of autonomous spelling rules for each
language. One of the complications encountered during the project was the fact that the phonological forms in CELEX were not always
genuinely underlying forms which made deriving the orthographic forms tricky. This paper discusses the nature and status of underlying
phonological forms, their relation to orthography and the issues of finding this information in databases.
Self as political possibility: subversive neighbor love and transcendental agency amidst collective blindness
Authors: Brooks Robin McCoy 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACTThe author investigates a notion of self as political possibility from a multi-displinary perspective that engages the psychoanalytic and philosophical thought of Jung, Žižek, Badiou and Heidegger. The political subject is one who has encountered the real of a particular societal void through the neighbor's unbidden appeal and is thus violently wrenched out of the indifference of banal **existence into a possibility of political action in a world gone mad. To illuminate her theoretical arguments, the author includes her own auto-ethnographic study into the conditions from which an egalitarian-based clinic of care emerged amidst the horror of the AIDS plague when there was no societal support in place. Lastly, the author engages Heidegger's (secondarily Jung and Badiou's) secular reading of the apostle Paul's Christian revolution as a means of elaborating on the transcendental dimension of thought and the conditions for its collective and co-experienced political possibility in today's moment in history.
Development of progressive hearing loss and tinnitus in a patient with myasthenia gravis
Authors: Ralli Massimo , di Stadio Arianna , Greco Antonio , Altissimi Giancarlo , Mazzei Filippo , Turchetta Rosaria , de Vincentiis Marco , Cianfrone Giancarlo 
Published: October 2017

Purpose:
There is evidence of progressive antibody-mediated loss of acetylcholine receptors on outer hair cells in the inner ear that underlies hearing dysfunction in myasthenia gravis patients. In this paper, we present the case of a 35-year-old patient with adult-onset myasthenia gravis and thymoma who experienced progressive hearing loss and bilateral high-pitched tone tinnitus worsening over time.

Materials and methods:
Patient underwent pure tone audiometry, acoustic immittance test, decay test, transient-evoked and distortion product otoacustic emissions with and without contralateral acoustic stimulation, somatosensory tinnitus screening maneuvers and self-assessment questionnaires for tinnitus, hearing loss and hyperacusis, in addition to anamnestic interview and complete ENT visit. Questionnaires for psychiatric comorbidities (SCL90R – Symptom Checklist 90 Revisited) were also administered to the patient. The patient was studied in baseline conditions and 1 h after administration of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor pyridostigmine bromide, a drug that has been reported to have a temporary effect on outer hair cell electromotility in myasthenia gravis patients.

Results:
Pure-tone audiometry showed a progressive hearing loss for high frequencies. Consistently, transient-evoked and distortion product otoacoustic emission amplitudes were significantly reduced for mid and, especially, high frequencies; after drug administration, a significant otoacoustic emission amplitude increase was recorded.

Conclusions:
Our findings documented a chronic dysfunction of outer hair cells consistent with acetylcholine receptor loss; these alterations could represent a basis for development of hearing loss and tinnitus.
Feasibility of virtual reality-based balance rehabilitation in adults with spinocerebellar ataxia
Authors: Santos Geslaine , Zeigelboim Dra Bianca Simone , Severiano Maria , Teive Hélio , Liberalesso Paulo , Marques Jair , Cordeiro Mara 
Published: October 2017

Objective:
To test the effects of a virtual reality (VR) balance rehabilitation program in patients diagnosed with SCAs.

Materials and methods:
A prospective observational study was carried out with a cohort of 28 patients diagnosed with SCAs, including eight females and 20 males, 15–70 years of age (mean, 41.5 ± 16.9 years). Patients were submitted to otorhinolaryngological assessment to exclude any kind of middle ear impairments that may hinder exam results, and vestibular evaluation to verify the existence of vestibular disorders, kind and site of the lesion. The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and 36-item Short-form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaires were applied before and after VR rehabilitation. The criterion for significance in before versus after VR training comparisons was p < .05.

Results:
Regarding to baseline, the participants showed significant improvements posttraining in their DHI and BBS scores. These improvements were accompanied by improvements in perceived quality of life (QoL) as measured by the SF-36. There were significant improvements in balance and gait, fall frequency, and patients’ self-confidence.

Conclusions:
Showed consistent improvement postrehabilitation in their ability to play VR games (i.e. Soccer Heading, Tightrope, Table Tilt, and Ski Slalom). VR rehabilitation may be an effective SCA therapy. The breadth of improvements evidenced here should promote physical and psychological recovery, while fostering a better QoL.
Attentional focus and anticipated emotions in the face of future environmental risks: should I take the train or drive my car? / Foco atencional y emociones anticipadas en vista de riesgos ambientales futuros: ¿debería ir en tren o en mi coche?
Authors: Böhm Gisela , Pfister Hans-Rüdiger 
Published: October 2017

This study presents an experiment investigating the effects of attentional focus and valence of experience on anticipated emotions and on intentions to drive by car or to use public transportation. Car driving is associated with being detrimental for the environment, whereas using public transportation is assumed to be environmentally beneficial. We regard environmentally friendly behaviour as an instantiation of a problem-focused coping strategy that is triggered by anticipated threat from an environmental stressor and aims at reducing the environmental problem. A discrepancy, however, may exist between the immediate experience of driving a car or using public transport, and the long-term experience of the consequences, that is, a polluted versus a healthy environment. Employing multimedia scenarios, we manipulated participants’ attention to focus either on behaviour (car or public transport) or on the environmental consequences, and induced either a positively or a negatively valenced experience. We measured anticipated emotions and intentions to use the car or public transport, and repeated the measurements two weeks later. Most important, a focus on consequences turns out to have stronger effects on emotions than a focus on behaviour. Also, intentions to use a car or public transport change when focusing on the future consequences, but not when focusing on the positive or negative circumstances accompanying the behaviours. A mediation analysis shows that while focusing on the consequences influences both anticipated emotions and behavioural intentions, the effect of focus on behavioural intentions is not mediated by anticipated emotions. Results suggest that emphasizing the long-term consequences of one’s behaviour is a better means of fostering pro-environmental behaviour than emphasizing the experience of the behaviours per se.
Coping with ambient stress: factorial structure and stressor-specificity of a general scale / Afrontamiento del estrés ambiental: estructura factorial y especificidad de estresores en una escala general
Authors: Honold Jasmin , Leandro Mauricio , van der Meer Elke 
Published: October 2017

The aim of this study was (a) to examine the factorial structure of coping with ambient stress and (b) to examine the stressor-specificity of coping strategies. A German questionnaire was compiled and tested in an online survey ( N = 703). Most of the final 23 items referred to environmental burdens and pollution in general. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified three subscales with a common second-order factor: environmental concern/activism, optimism and self-protection (Cronbach’s α: .71 to .88). A paper-and-pencil study ( N = 109) confirmed the three-factor structure. In addition, coping items were reformulated to relate to five specific ambient stressors. Results showed positive correlations between responses to stressor-specific items and general items, but their degree and significance varied between stressors and subscales. Thus, the general scale on coping with ambient stress may be applied in multiple-stressor research. For research on stressor-specificity of coping strategies, stressor-specific instruments should be used.
Sustainable entrepreneurship in universities and environmental values / Emprendimiento sostenible en la universidad y valores ambientales
Authors: Ruiz-Ruano Ana-María , Puga Jorge L. 
Published: October 2017

The study of sustainable entrepreneurship is still in the very early stages, and many questions have been raised. The aim of this study is to shed light on the characteristics associated with entrepreneurs, and potential entrepreneurs, among university teaching and research staff, whose entrepreneurship is grounded in sustainability. A sample of 2,671 university faculty members (55.9% men and 35.6% women) aged between 24 and 77 ( M = 44.45, SD = 9.60) responded to an electronic questionnaire about business start-ups that contained items designed to evaluate ecocentric and anthropocentric values and attitudes. The results support the hypothesis that ecocentrism is chiefly associated with the desire to set up a sustainable company. The findings of this study are useful from a theoretical (to elucidate the characteristics of the sustainable entrepreneur) and practical standpoint (to guide the implementation of curricular innovations in university) with a view to optimizing the presence of sustainability within the university sphere.
Correlations of Sums of Two Squares and Other Arithmetic Functions in Function Fields
Authors: Bary-Soroker Lior , Fehm Arno 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
We investigate a function field analogue of a recent conjecture on autocorrelations of sums of two squares by Freiberg, Kurlberg, and Rosenzweig, which generalizes an older conjecture by Connors and Keating. In particular, we provide extensive numerical evidence and prove it in the large finite field limit. Our method can also handle correlations of other arithmetic functions and we give applications to (function field analogues of) the average of sums of two squares on shifted primes, and to autocorrelations of higher divisor functions twisted by a quadratic character.
Medical School Factors That Prepare Students to Become Leaders in Medicine
Authors: Arnold Louise , Cuddy Paul G. , Hathaway Susan B. , Quaintance Jennifer L. , Kanter Steven L. 
Published: October 2017

Purpose
To identify medical school factors graduates in major leadership positions perceive as contributing to their leadership development.

Method
Using a phenomenological, qualitative approach, in August–November 2015 the authors conducted semistructured interviews with 48 medical leaders who were 1976–1999 baccalaureate–MD graduates of the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine (UMKC). At UMKC, they participated in longitudinal learning communities, the centerpiece for learning professional values and behaviors plus clinical skills, knowledge, and judgment, but received no formal leadership instruction. The authors subjected interview comments to directed, largely qualitative content analysis with iterative coding cycles.

Results
Most graduates said their experiences and the people at UMKC positively influenced their leadership growth. Medical school factors that emerged as contributing to that growth were the longitudinal learning communities including docents, junior–senior partners, and team experiences; expectations set for students to achieve; a clinically oriented but integrated curriculum; admission policies seeking students with academic and nonacademic qualifications; supportive student–student and student–faculty relationships; and a positive overall learning environment. Graduates viewed a combination of factors as best preparing them for leadership and excellence in clinical medicine; together these factors enabled them to assume leadership opportunities after graduation.

Conclusions
This study adds medical leaders’ perspective to the leadership development literature and offers guidance from theory and practice for medical schools to consider in shaping leadership education: Namely, informal leadership preparation coupled with extensive longitudinal clinical education in a nurturing, authentic environment can develop students effectively for leadership in medicine.
Criterion-Based Assessment in a Norm-Based World: How Can We Move Past Grades?
Authors: Pereira Anne G. , Woods Majka , Olson Andrew P.J. , van den Hoogenhof Suzanne , Duffy Briar L. , Englander Robert 
Published: October 2017

In the United States, the medical education community has begun a shift from the Flexnerian time-based model to a competency-based medical education model. The graduate medical education (GME) community is substantially farther along in this transition than is the undergraduate medical education (UME) community.
GME has largely adopted the use of competencies and their attendant milestones and increasingly is employing the framework of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) to assess trainee competence. The UME community faces several challenges to successfully navigating a similar transition. First is the reliance on norm-based reference standards in the UME–GME transition, comparing students’ performance versus their peers’ with grades, United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 and Step 2 score interpretation, and the structured Medical School Performance Evaluation, or dean’s letter. Second is the reliance on proxy assessments rather than direct observation of learners. Third is the emphasis on summative rather than formative assessments.
Educators have overcome a major barrier to change by establishing UME outcomes assessment criteria with the advent and general acceptance of the physician competency reference set and the Core EPAs for Entering Residency in UME. Now is the time for the hard work of developing assessments steeped in direct observation that can be accepted by learners and faculty across the educational continuum and can be shown to predict clinical performance in a much more meaningful way than the current measures of grades and examinations. The acceptance of such assessments will facilitate the UME transition toward competency-based medical education.
