The Many Contexts of Translation (Studies)
Authors: Dimitriu Rodica 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
This article examines the ways in which, in just a couple of decades, and in view of the interdisciplinary nature of Translation Studies, the key notion of context has become increasingly broader and diversified within this area of research, allowing for complex analyses of the translators’ activities and decisions, of translation processes and, ultimately, of what accounts for the meaning(s) of a translated text. Consequently, some (brief) incursions are made into a number of (main) directions of the discipline and the related kinds of contexts they prioritized in investigating translation both as process and product. In the second section of this introductory article, the issue of context is particularized through references to the contributions in this special volume, which add new layers of meaning to context, touching upon further perspectives from which this complex notion could be approached.
Developing Translingual and Transcultural Competence through Pedagogic Subtitling
Authors: Laviosa Sara 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
This paper expounds a language pedagogy that is framed within the ecological perspective on language learning elaborated by Leo van Lier (2000 Leo van Lier (2004) and Claire Kramsch (2009 and Claire Kramsch (2010) and adopts Maria Tymoczko’s (2007) holistic approach to cultural translation. Next, I report on a case study where the proposed methodology was integrated in the syllabus design of a 3-credit module I taught as part of a professional development course attended by secondary school EFL teachers at the University of Bari during the 2013-2014 academic year. Students analysed and translated salient scenes from the bilingual drama La stella che non c’è/The Missing Star (directed by Gianni Amelio, 2006). In so doing, they unveiled the connectedness between language and culture and how they both are “discursively constructed” in social contexts(van Lier, The Ecology 184).

Authors: Weiß Manuel , Ilg Jürgen , Rupitsch Stefan J. , Lerch Reinhard 
Published: February 2016

Zusammenfassung
Es wird ein Verfahren zur Charakterisierung der Frequenzabhängigkeit der mechanischen
Eigenschaften von Festkörpern (Viskoelastizität) vorgestellt. Insbesondere Kunststoffe
zeigen häufig ein ausgeprägtes viskoelastisches Verhalten. Die Identifikation der
frequenzabhängigen mechanischen Materialparameter erfolgt durch die Inverse Methode, welche
auf der Anpassung von Simulationsergebnissen an zuvor durchgeführte Messungen
beruht. Hierzu werden durch einen Optimierungsalgorithmus die Simulationsparameter
schrittweise variiert. In diesem Beitrag wird eine angepasste Inverse Methode sowie die
generelle Vorgehensweise der Materialcharakterisierung erläutert. Zudem werden
viskoelastische Materialmodelle diskutiert und ihre Eignung anhand eines exemplarischen
Werkstoffs geprüft.
A Co-modeling Method Based on Component Features for Mechatronic Devices in Aero-engines
Authors: Wang Bin , Zhao Haocen , Ye Zhifeng 
Published: February 2016

AbstractData-fused and user-friendly design of aero-engine accessories is required because of their structural complexity and stringent reliability. This paper gives an overview of a typical aero-engine control system and the development process of key mechatronic devices used. Several essential aspects of modeling and simulation in the process are investigated. Considering the limitations of a single theoretic model, feature-based co-modeling methodology is suggested to satisfy the design requirements and compensate for diversity of component sub-models for these devices. As an example, a stepper motor controlled Fuel Metering Unit (FMU) is modeled in view of the component physical features using two different software tools. An interface is suggested to integrate the single discipline models into the synthesized one. Performance simulation of this device using the co-model and parameter optimization for its key components are discussed. Comparison between delivery testing and the simulation shows that the co-model for the FMU has a high accuracy and the absolute superiority over a single model. Together with its compatible interface with the engine mathematical model, the feature-based co-modeling methodology is proven to be an effective technical measure in the development process of the device.
Incremental DF-LCCSD(T) Calculations for a Water Molecule Inside and Outside Armchair Carbon Nanotubes
Authors: Lei Shulai , Paulus Beate 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
The method of increments is applied to investigate the adsorption of a single water molecule
inside and outside armchair carbon nanotubes with different curvature using density-fitting
local coupled cluster with single and double excitations and perturbative triples treatment
(DF-LCCSD(T)). The correlation contribution to the adsorption energy is expanded in terms of
localized orbitals of both the water molecule and the nanotube. Results of this
investigation show that the simultaneous correlation of groups of localized orbitals of the
water molecule and of the carbon nanotube (i. e. inter-fragment two-body increments) is the
major contribution to the attractive interaction. In contrast the individual correlation
energy of localized orbitals of water molecule or carbon nanotube (i. e. one-body increments)
is negligible. A detailed balance between the repulsive Hartree–Fock contribution and the
attractive correlation contribution to the adsorption energy determines the ground-state
structure of the water molecule inside the carbon nanotube. To elucidate this behavior
benzene-based model systems are investigated with the same methods.

Abstract
The electric dipole moment, polarizability, first and second dipole hyperpolarizability of
HOF were determined via finite-field calculations with ab initio
calculations of high predictive potential. Basis set sensibility and method dependence were
systematically studied. We relied on a systematic sequence of prepared basis sets of
Gaussian-type functions (GTF). A very large purpose-oriented, HOF-specific basis set

Published: February 2016

AbstractMetformin, an insulin sensitiser from the biguanide family of molecules, is used for the treatment of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes individuals. It increases peripheral glucose uptake and may reduce food intake. Based on the tight link between metabolism and fertility, we investigated the role of metformin on testicular function usingin vitroculture of Sertoli cells and seminiferous tubules, complemented byin vivodata obtained following metformin administration to prepubertal chickens.In vitro, metformin treatment reduced Sertoli cell proliferation without inducing apoptosis and morphological changes. The metabolism of Sertoli cells was affected because lactate secretion by Sertoli cells increased approximately twofold and intracellular free ATP was negatively impacted. Two important pathways regulating proliferation and metabolism in Sertoli cells were assayed. Metformin exposure was not associated with an increased phosphorylation of AKT or ERK. There was a 90% reduction in the proportion of proliferating germ cells after a 96-h exposure of seminiferous tubule cultures to metformin.In vivo, 6-week-old chickens treated with metformin for 3 weeks exhibited reduced testicular weight and a 50% decrease in testosterone levels. The expression of a marker of undifferentiated germ cells was unchanged in contrast to the decrease in expression of ‘protamine’, a marker of differentiated germ cells. In conclusion, these results suggest that metformin affects the testicular energy content and the proliferative ability of Sertoli and germ cells.Reproduction (2016) 151 527–538
Preterm Versus Term Children: Analysis of Sedation/Anesthesia Adverse Events and Longitudinal Risk
Authors: Havidich Jeana E. , Beach Michael , Dierdorf Stephen F. , Onega Tracy , Suresh Gautham , Cravero Joseph P. 
Published: February 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Preterm and former preterm children frequently require sedation/anesthesia for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Our objective was to determine the age at which children who are born &lt;37 weeks gestational age are no longer at increased risk for sedation/anesthesia adverse events. Our secondary objective was to describe the nature and incidence of adverse events.

METHODS:
This is a prospective observational study of children receiving sedation/anesthesia for diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures outside of the operating room by the Pediatric Sedation Research Consortium. A total of 57 227 patients 0 to 22 years of age were eligible for this study. All adverse events and descriptive terms were predefined. Logistic regression and locally weighted scatterplot regression were used for analysis.

RESULTS:
Preterm and former preterm children had higher adverse event rates (14.7% vs 8.5%) compared with children born at term. Our analysis revealed a biphasic pattern for the development of adverse sedation/anesthesia events. Airway and respiratory adverse events were most commonly reported. MRI scans were the most commonly performed procedures in both categories of patients.

CONCLUSIONS:
Patients born preterm are nearly twice as likely to develop sedation/anesthesia adverse events, and this risk continues up to 23 years of age. We recommend obtaining birth history during the formulation of an anesthetic/sedation plan, with heightened awareness that preterm and former preterm children may be at increased risk. Further prospective studies focusing on the etiology and prevention of adverse events in former preterm patients are warranted.

El discurso del intrapreneurship: una mirada psicoanalítica en las organizaciones en el nuevo capitalismo
Authors: Ararat Herrera Jaime Andrés 
Published: February 2016

artículo de reflexiónEste trabajo de reflexión articula de manera exploratoria la construcción del sujeto en algunas organizaciones que buscan una reconfiguración simbólica de la relación entre el trabajador y la organización desde el campo psíquico. Éstas buscan reorientar las nociones tradicionales de autoridad y poder al interior de su estructura organizacional en el contexto de una nueva cultura capitalista, mediante la inclusión de diferentes discursos administrativos como el intrapreneurship, que pretenden adaptar al trabajador a una nueva “realidad simbólica” de cambios e incertidumbres, que lo persuadan a formar parte de una nueva “clase” de trabajadores, con capacidad de liderar y poner en práctica ideas frescas en beneficio de la organización, a fin de determinar en gran medida la inflexión de las relaciones de poder dentro de la misma.
Ownership Structure And Market Valuation: The Case Of Very Small, Young, And Fast-Growing Firms
Authors: Barnes William , Harikumar T. , Roth Greg 
Published: February 2016

In studies of primarily large, established firms, researchers find that increasing managerial ownership increases firm value, at least in some ranges of ownership. This evidence suggests that increasing managerial ownership can decrease net agency costs. Our study investigates managerial ownership and firm value for an atypical sample: very small, young, and fast-growing firms. We argue that increasing managerial ownership likely increases net agency costs in small, entrepreneurial firms. Consistent with this argument, we find that entrepreneurial firm value is positively related to outside board member ownership, but negatively related to inside board member ownership.
Two Staged Portfolio Optimizations
Authors: Ahmadi Hamid , Galindo Cesar 
Published: February 2016

The primary goal of this work is to determine if an active portfolio optimization strategy utilizing a two staged optimization approach outperforms an ordinary optimization technique. Both portfolio optimization models are based on Markowitz’s Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), which relies on assets’ mean, variance, and correlation to maximize returns at any given level of risk. For the two staged optimization approach the process of optimization is applied twice. In the first stage, it is used to select an optimal portfolio of industries, and in the second stage optimization is applied to determine an optimal portfolio consisting of stocks within each industry. Our research indicates that portfolios formed based on ordinary optimization outperforms two staged portfolios and Market indexes by 37% during a bear market (2002) and outperforms Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 by more than 13% during a bull market (2003). The performance of each model was determined by the capital gains and the dividend returns during the 2002 to 2003 time period.

Is It In The Name, Or In The Game? Can News Affect Firm Value? A Case For Athletes Sponsored By Nike, Inc.
Authors: Cohoon Lincoln , Extejt Marian , Melton Michael 
Published: February 2016

Until recently, little of the celebrity endorsement literature has focused on how the activities of an athlete affect a company’s value. Those that do, tend to focus on the impact of one star, such as Tiger Woods in golf, on a variety of companies. This paper adopts the behavioral finance viewpoint and examines the impact of news relating to various sport stars’ performance, both on and off the field, on the sponsoring/endorsing firm’s value. This research analyzes the impact across seven sports under Nike Inc.’s endorsement umbrella. In doing so, this study finds that news pertaining to the very best “athletic stars” in their respective sports do not directly affect Nike’s stock price. In fact, the only sport having a significant impact on stock price is professional golf. Surprisingly, news relating to basketball, the sport generating one the largest endorsement expenses for Nike, Inc., did not have a significant influence on stock price. Such results lead the authors to conclude that 1) the success of those sports stars under Nike’s endorsement umbrella does not directly add value to the firm, and 2) other factors may play a role in influencing investor behavior, to include airtime, public perception, and the size of the market, itself.
Assessing Board Members In The Nonprofit Organizational Arena: Increased Board Responsibilities Dictated By Sarbanes Oxley
Authors: Trudeau Gregory P. 
Published: February 2016

Numerous corporate scandals of the 1990’s and 2000’s, coupled with public accounting firms generating high non-audit fees, eroded the publics’ confidence in the concept public accounting independence. These scandals and the erosion of confidence in the auditor’s independence resulted in Congress passing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002. While Sarbanes-Oxley applies mainly to publicly traded companies, proactive, progressive nonprofit organizations will also reap the benefits of Sarbanes-Oxley. In fact, Board Source (2003) indicates, “Indeed, some state attorney generals are already proposing that elements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act be applied to nonprofit organizations.” According to this author, whether this law eventually extends to the nonprofit arena or not, an increase in responsibility of board members of nonprofit organizations is inevitable. Due to the increased responsibilities board members assume, Boards would be well advised to increase their self assessment process. This paper will look at assessing the Board of Directors in light of the new responsibilities Board Members assume in conjunction with the increased responsibilities resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Is Tasting Believing? The Effect Of Peel-And-Taste Advertising On Product Feelings And Likelihood Of Purchase
Authors: Gerlich R. Nicholas , Browning Leigh , Westermann Lori 
Published: February 2016

Scratch-and-sniff product samples have been used as surrogate methods of inducing product trial since the 1990s, but to date tasting a product required either in-store or in-home interactions with actual products. Peel-and-Taste flavor strips were introduced in 2007 as a means of putting product sample substitutes in the hands of many by virtue of being attached to advertising pieces in magazines, newspaper blow-ins, and direct mail. This study utilized a sample of female consumers (the targeted recipients of the ads) to allow them to interact with advertising samples using Peel-and-Taste, and measuring various resulting attitudes. Results showed that ratings of flavor pleasantness and the Peel-and-Taste method itself were positive significant predictors of Feelings Toward the Product (FTP), and that FTP and the participant’s resulting mood state were positive significant predictors of Likelihood To Purchase (LTP) the product. In aggregate, though, FTP was modest at best, and LTP was virtually indifferent. It was concluded that the Peel-and-Taste method, while favorably linked to FTP and LTP, was not so strong as to be a significant stimulus to purchase the product.
A Review of Research on the Effects of LREs on L2 Development
Authors: Ismail Lilliati 
Published: February 2016

<p>Swain and Lapkin’s (1998, 2001, 2002) language-related episodes (LREs) have generated greater interest among ESL (English as a Second Language) practitioners and researchers on the effects of addressing linguistic issues during learner-learner interaction in the course of completing pedagogic tasks on interlanguage development. This paper reviews the results of various studies that measured the effects of LREs on L2 development. This paper concludes that LREs could have beneficial effects on L2 learning as reflected by the amount of negotiation and learning opportunities that occurred, the rate of successful outcomes of the repair practices, and L2 achievements in posttests. This paper also suggests that future research could further analyse the exchanges that occur during LREs to gain a greater understanding of interaction-oriented learning opportunities.</p>he semiotic atoms of its grammatical narration as much as the semiotic atoms of its spatial narration in poetic narrative texts to develop and improve the theories of poetic narratology and expand its studies from macro-studies to micro-studies.<p> </p>
