Carers and manual handling: Survey results
Authors: James Carole L , Rusli Norsyamimi , Broady Timothy R 
Published: May 2017

Background: There is limited literature specific to manual handling practices among informal carers, with most literature relating to nurses and paid carers. This study aimed to identify the current experiences and practices of informal carers in relation to manual handling and their perceived manual handling needs for this role. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study design utilising an online questionnaire was used to survey informal carers who were members of Carers NSW—an organisation for carers in New South Wales, Australia. Seventy-five returned surveys were eligible for inclusion. The data was analysed with descriptive statistics using JMP software (version 10.0.0). Findings: Respondents were predominantly female (74.7%), over 45 years of age (81.1%) and were on a pension (35.8%). Respondents carried out a variety of caring tasks; however, they used limited equipment and received active/interactive training (workshop and training from health professionals) more than passive training (written materials in brochures, books, websites and posters). Conclusions: The study provides information on the manual handling experiences and practices of informal carers. The information can be used by health professionals to develop specific education programmes or appropriate manual handling literature to assist informal carers with this role.
Case management for return to work for individuals living with cancer: A systematic review
Authors: McQueen Jean , McFeely Gerry 
Published: May 2017

Background: Work integration and job retention can be difficult for individuals living with cancer. Individuals with cancer report that work integration is an important factor to them in their recovery, not least for reasons associated with financial security, but also as a marker related to normality. Some individuals returning to work require specific assistance from health professionals, their employers and employer agents, such as occupational health, to achieve a successful return. The matter of vocational support for individuals living with cancer, however, represents a significant social and economic issue as cancer survival rates increase. Often individuals with cancer, without appropriate support, face the stark possibility of job loss. Objective: To determine whether a vocational case management approach impacts on return to work for an individual living with cancer. Specific questions addressed: does an individualised case management approach reduce the length of absence from work following a cancer diagnosis? Does case management impact on sustained employment following a cancer diagnosis? Methods: Electronic databases were searched up to June 2015. A total of 187 articles were screened, of which three met the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: Two randomised controlled trials and one case controlled trial were appraised. There was some heterogeneity which made comparison between studies difficult. Overall, the sample sizes were small and there was no clear evidence of effectiveness.

Contributions of pregnancy school program, opinions of women on the education and their post-education experiences<p>Gebelerin, gebe okulu programı hakkındaki görüşleri ve eğitim sonrası deneyimleri
Authors: Gönenç İlknur Münevver , Çakırer Çalbayram Nazan 
Published: May 2017

The purpose of finding out the opinions of pregnancy on the education given in their antenatal periods, their post-education experiences and contributions. This research was conducted retrospectively. The study was completed with 40 pregnant women who took part in the pregnancy school program and met the study criteria. The research data were collected using a data collection form developed by the investigators. 95% of the women stated that the education that they received was helpful during their pregnancy and 72.5% stated in the process of delivery and all of them stated during their postpartum periods. 52.5% of the woman stated that they lived labour fear and all of them explained they defeated fear using education given by pregnancy school program. 70% woman found the education satisfactory, the others proposed that some topics should be detailed especially coping accidents during pregnancy and also wished husbands should participate this education. We found in the research that the pregnancy school program had contributions during pregnancy and delivery and in the postpartum period and we think that it has an important role in solving the obstetric problems. Pregnancy school program will increase the women’s adaptation to pregnancy and decrease the workload of healthcare professionals. ÖzetAraştırma, gebelerin antenatal dönemde verilen eğitim hakkındaki görüşlerini, eğitim sonrası deneyimlerini ve katkılarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Retrospektif olarak yürütülen araştırma gebe okulu programına katılan ve çalışma kriterlerine uyan 40 gebe ile tamamlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen veri toplama formu ile toplanmıştır. Kadınların %95’i gebe okulunda aldıkları eğitimin gebelik döneminde, %72.5’i ise doğum sürecinde fayda sağladığını ifade etmiştir. Kadınların %52.5’i gebeliğinde doğum korkusu yaşadığını, korku yaşadığını ifade edenlerin tamamına yakını ise gebe okulundan aldığı bilgilerle bu korkuları ile baş edebildiğini belirtmiştir. Kadınların %70’i eğitimi yeterli bulurken, diğerleri ise bazı konuların daha detaylı verilmesini, gebelikte görülen kazalar ve baş etme konusunun programa eklemesini, eşlerinde bu eğitime katılmalarını önermişlerdir. Araştırmada gebe okulu programının; gebelik, doğum ve doğum sonrası dönemde önemli katkıları olduğu belirlenmiş olup obstetrik problemlerin çözümünde önemli bir yere sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir. Gebe okulu programı kadınların gebeliğe adaptasyonunu arttıracak ve sağlık bakım profesyonellerinin iş yükünü azaltacaktır.
Equivalence Theory and Legal Translation
Authors: Xuan Ji , Xiaobo Dong 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
One of the difficulties in legal English translation lies in how translators understand and convey legal terminology. For one thing, it requires functional equivalence in language; for another, legal functional equivalence is also needed. According to the Equivalence Theory of Sarcevic, and considering the different levels of language and legal functional equivalence in the corresponding words from the source language to the target language, the following measures can be taken in legal terminology translation: using the exact words when concepts are equivalent; using functionally equivalent words when concepts are nearly or partly equivalent; using paraphrase, neutral, borrowed, or neologisms when concepts are totally different.
Holy Shit: Taboo Speech Acts as Self-Consumption
Authors: Rossolatos George 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThis paper addresses the scarcely scrutinized topic in the consumer culture literature regarding how a social actor consumes himself through speech acts. More specifically, by introducing a new type of speech act, viz. the taboo speech act, and by effectively differentiating it from expletives, slang, and swearing words and expressions, I outline how subjectivity appropriates and individuates its systemic underpinning asotheror linguistic system (Saussure) and wall of language (Lacan) in linguistic acts of transgression. Taboo speech acts do not merely express emotions, such as anger and frustration. They also seek to contain a linguistic system as an ideational totality of acts of parole in aprimus affectivusthat is incumbent on the inverse sublimation of epithets and cultural symbols standing synecdochically in apars pro totorelationship for the limits of what is culturally/linguistically sanctioned. The subject consumes/annihilates and institutes itself at the same time in taboo speech acts whose mission may not be fully accounted for through conversational pragmatics, insofar as they perform at a more foundational level a social ontological function. The offered analysis aims at contributing to the extant literature in consumer cultural theory, applied linguistics, and social theory.

Approximation of market valuations on the set of risk measures
Authors: Tkaliński Tomasz 
Published: May 2017

AbstractIn this work we introduce the problem of choice of a risk measure providing best approximation of risk estimates derived from market valuations. We begin with a brief overview of connections between pricing and risk measurement issues which reveal importance of the problem we consider and lead to the mathematical formulation. In the main result under fairly general assumptions we establish the existence of the solution. In the second part we define a problem of finding a risk measure optimal with respect to the capital requirements. We impose additional assumptions, all of which have strong practical justification and in this particular setting we show that a solution exists and is a spectral measure of risk. As an example of application we show that there is some optimal spectral measure of risk for speculative position created in a market model with CIR short rate dynamics.

Approximation by truncated Favard–Szász–Mirakjan operator of max-product kind
Authors: Bede Barnabás , Coroianu Lucian , Gal Sorin G. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Starting from the study of the Shepard nonlinear operator of max-prod type made by Bede et al. in 2006 and 2008, in the book of Gal in 2008 (Open Problem 5.5.4, pp. 324–326) the Favard–Szász–Mirakjan max-prod type operator is introduced and the question of the approximation order by this operator is raised. In the paper of Bede and Gal in 2010, an answer is given by obtaining a pointwise upper estimate of the approximation error of the form

Modes, modals, and barycentric algebras: a brief survey and an additivity theorem
Authors: Smith Jonathan D. H. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Modes are idempotent and entropic algebras. Modals are both join semilattices and modes, where the mode structure distributes over the join. Barycentric algebras are equipped with binary operations from the open unit interval, satisfying idempotence, skew-commutativity, and skew-associativity. The article aims to give a brief survey of these structures and some of their applications. Special attention is devoted to hierarchical statistical mechanics and the modeling of complex systems. An additivity theorem for the entropy of independent combinations of systems is proved.

Lie tensor product manifolds
Authors: Sato Hajime , Yamaguchi Keizo 
Published: May 2017

AbstractWe study the geometric structures of parabolic geometries. A parabolic geometry is defined by a parabolic subgroup of a simple Lie group corresponding to a subset of the positive simple roots. We say that a parabolic geometry is fundamental if it is defined by a subset corresponding to a single simple root. In this paper we will be mainly concerned with such fundamental parabolic geometries.Fundamental geometries for the Lie algebra of

Long-term preservation of α-amylase activity in highly concentrated aqueous solutions of imidazolium ionic liquid
Authors: Tonova Konstantza 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe activity of the α-amylase enzyme incubated in aqueous solutions with a high concentration (80.2% w/v) of imidazolium ionic liquid, [C4C1im]Br, has been studied. Contrary to the complete deactivation hitherto reported in the literature, a way is found to preserve the enzyme, by adding the appropriate salt, so that the activity is saved for a long grace period. Different salts are studied and the concentration is optimized in view of the enzyme hydration. Due to the limited amount of free water available to the enzyme at higher salt concentrations, the activity decreases. The best results are obtained by adding potassium acetate, 0.200 mol dm−3. Some 90% of the activity is saved in a 2-week incubation, and a half activity remains in a month. Precipitates are observed in the samples of the solution without salt. No precipitation is noticed when acetate is present. Regardless of the fluorescence quenching, the activity is saved. The effect of the acetate on the α-amylase preservation is probably related to the ability of the acetate anion to interact with the imidazolium cation thus shielding the enzyme from being salted out and precipitated. Compared with potassium bromide, which does not interact with [C4C1im]Br, precipitation and fast inactivation are observed.

Lernerbeobachtungen zur Nutzung von Feedback bei einem videogestützten Online-Sprachkurs für Deutsch als Fremdsprache
Authors: Bayerlein Oliver 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
In dem Aufsatz wird eine Untersuchung referiert, die im Rahmen eines Online-Sprachkurses für Deutsch als Fremdsprache das Ziel hatte, das Verhalten von Lernern in Bezug zu einem von dem Programm ausgegebenen Feedback zu untersuchen. Ausgehend von der in der Literatur bereits geäußerten Vermutung, dass nicht immer ein elaboriertes Feedback auch ein gutes Feedback sein muss, wurden die Lernwege von japanischen Studenten und Studentinnen aufgezeichnet und ausgewertet.
Der Autor stellt zunächst die möglichen Arten von Feedback vor, um danach die Lernwirksamkeit von Feedback zu diskutieren. Dabei vergleicht der Autor seine eigenen Untersuchungen mit denen in der Literatur referierten Studien. Er zieht aufgrund der Beobachtungen des Lernerverhaltens seiner Studenten den Schluss, dass die häufig in der Literatur geäußerte Gleichung »einfaches Feedback = schlechtes Feedback« in dieser absoluten Form nicht richtig ist. Der Autor kommt vielmehr zu einer eigenen Schlussfolgerung, bei welcher er das notwendige Feedback zur Dynamik der Übung in Beziehung setzt. Der Link auf zwei kurze Videos, in denen die Schlussfolgerungen des Autors illustriert werden, runden den Aufsatz ab.

Authors: Beier-Taguchi Diana , Niewalda Katrin 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel beschreibt den Einsatz des Films Erleuchtung garantiert (Dörrie 2000) in zwei universitären Sprachkursen in Japan. Spielfilme sind nicht nur zur Vermittlung von landeskundlichem Wissen geeignet, sondern haben auch Potential bei der Förderung sprachlicher Fertigkeiten. Zudem kommen sie den heutigen Rezeptionsgewohnheiten gerade junger Studierender entgegen, die durch eine starke Orientierung an Bildlichkeit und audiovisuellen Medien im Allgemeinen geprägt sind. Im Artikel werden Unterrichtsvorschläge für eine Anfänger- und eine Fortgeschrittenengruppe vorgestellt, wodurch die Flexibilität des Mediums Film verdeutlicht werden soll. Es geht dabei um die Frage, wie der Film systematisch und sinnvoll in die Konzepte der jeweiligen Kurse integriert werden kann. Nach der Beschreibung der Unterrichtsreihen erfolgt eine Reflexion des Filmeinsatzes.
Was suchen und finden Lerner des Deutschen als Fremdsprache in aktuellen Wörterbüchern? Auswertung einer Umfrage und Anforderungen an eine aktuelle DaF-Lernerlexikographie
Authors: Meliss Meike 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
Zur Gestaltung künftiger Lernerwörterbücher im DaF-Bereich ist es notwendig, die Bedürfnisse und Recherchegewohnheiten der potenziellen Benutzerinnen und Benutzer zu kennen. Seit dem virtuellen Medienwechsel erfährt die Wörterbuchbenutzungsforschung wichtige neue Impulse. Speziell im DaF-Bereich liegen aber bis jetzt nur vereinzelt aktuelle empirische Daten über die unterschiedlichen Benutzergewohnheiten der Lernerinnen und Lerner vor, die für zukünftige lexikographische Konsultationssysteme ausgewertet und berücksichtigt werden könnten. Aus diesem Grunde wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts DICONALE, welches die Erstellung eines konzeptuellonomasiologisch orientierten zweisprachig bilateralen online-Produktionslernerwörterbuches für Verben und deverbale Wortarten des Deutschen und Spanischen anvisiert, eine Umfrage konzipiert, die von Lernenden des Deutschen als Fremdsprache in Spanien, Portugal und Deutschland beantwortet wurde. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Umfrage steht sowohl das Ziel, die Benutzergewohnheiten der DaF-Lernenden unterschiedlicher Sprachstufen im universitären und außeruniversitären Bereich kennenzulernen, als auch die Gründe für mögliche fehlgeschlagene Recherchen zu erforschen und Hinweise auf die Wünsche und Bedürfnisse der Lernenden entsprechend zu interpretieren. Ziel des Beitrages ist es daher, einerseits die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Umfrage vorzustellen und andererseits sowohl allgemeine Rückschlüsse auf die Konzipierung zukünftiger Lernerwörterbücher für den DaF-Bereich zu ziehen als auch konkrete Anforderungen an DICONALE herauszuarbeiten.

Authors: Bies Andrea 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
Der vorliegende Beitrag ist ein Plädoyer für die Behandlung von Erstkontakten im DaF-Unterricht jenseits der Kennenlern-Dialoge des ersten Kapitels. Gleichzeitig kommt er der oft geforderten Authentizität der Darstellung gesprochener Sprache nach, indem er Transkriptauszüge natürlicher Gespräche enthält. Kommunikative Übungen zur Gattung »Erstkontakt« zeigen konkret, wie Daten und Ergebnisse einer gesprächsanalytischen Studie für den DaF-Unterricht verwendet werden können.
Blattdolmetschen als Möglichkeit zur Integration von Dolmetschertraining in den Mittelstufenunterricht
Authors: Odendahl Wolfgang 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
An den meisten taiwanischen Universitäten mit einem Hauptfachstudium DaF werden in dessen Rahmen auch chinesisch-deutsche Dolmetschkurse angeboten. Ausgehend von diesem Phänomen wird hier die sinnvolle Kombination von Sprachdidaktik und grundlegenden Techniken des Dolmetscher-Trainings untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, wie diese Techniken Lernenden auch schon auf mittlerem sprachlichen Niveau erlauben, sich von der muttersprachigen Wortwahl und Morphosyntax zu lösen und sich der Fremdsprache in deren eigenem Regelwerk zu bedienen. Dieser Beitrag ist damit im Überschneidungsbereich der Disziplinen Fremdsprachenunterricht und Didaktik des Dolmetschens angesiedelt. Als Schwerpunkt wurde die Didaktik des Blattdolmetschens gewählt, weil dies eine Art des Dolmetschens ist, bei der grundlegende Fertigkeiten für alle anderen Arten der mündlichen Sprachmittlung zum Einsatz kommen. Blattdolmetschen schlägt nicht nur die Brücke zwischen Übersetzen und Dolmetschen, sondern ist auch vielseitig genug, um nutzbringend und zielführend zur Verbesserung der Kompetenzen Lesen und Sprechen in der Fremdsprache Deutsch eingesetzt zu werden.
