Strategie tłumaczy wobec zjawiska obcości kulturowej w przekładach dwudziestowiecznej prozy nowogreckiej na język polski
Authors: Jędraszak Natalia 
Published: September 2015

Translation strategies in the face of cultural specificity of the 20th century Modern Greek prose translated into PolishAccording to Werner Koller, there are two main types of translations of texts which are connected to literature and culture. These types are adaptation and transfer. Adaptation is a result of using a translation strategy called domestication which consists in removing from the text all the elements which may seem odd or strange to the target reader and replacing them by some well-known units of the target culture. Transfer is a result of using a strategy called foreignization, that is of introducing to the target text some units characteristic of the source culture which may raise connotations of strangeness and foreignness. The choice of the strategy lies with the translator and depends on his vision of the target reader. The aim of this paper is to analyze translations of three Modern Greek novels into Polish with special attention paid to solutions chosen by the translators in the face of two main translation problems which are results of cultural specificity of the text: lexical problems and allusions to some historical, cultural and social facts as well as to the information these solutions provide on the translators’ vision of the target reader. Strategie tłumaczy wobec zjawiska obcości kulturowej w przekładach dwudziestowiecznej prozy nowogreckiej na język polskiWerner Koller wyróżnia dwa główne rodzaje przekładu tekstów związanych z literaturą i kulturą: adaptację oraz transfer. Adaptacja jest wynikiem użycia strategii tłumaczeniowej zwanej udomowieniem, która polega na usunięciu z tekstu elementów, które czytelnikowi docelowemu mogłyby wydać się obce i zastąpieniu ich dobrze znanymi mu elementami kultury docelowej. Transfer natomiast polega na zastosowaniu strategii zwanej egzotyzacją, tj. wprowadzeniu do tekstu docelowego elementów charakterystycznych dla kultury źródłowej, które mogą u odbiorcy tłumaczenia wywoływać poczucie obcości. Wybór pomiędzy tymi strategiami zależy od tłumacza oraz jego wizji czytelnika docelowego. Przedmiotem tego artykułu jest analiza przekładów trzech wybranych powieści nowogreckich na język polski, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem rozwiązań zastosowanych przez tłumaczy w obliczu dwóch głównych problemów tłumaczeniowych, które wynikają z kulturowej specyfiki tekstu: problemów leksykalnych oraz odniesień do wydarzeń historycznych i faktów społecznych, jak również wiedzy, którą te rozwiązania dostarczają nam na temat wyobrażeń tłumaczy o czytelnikach docelowych przekładanych tekstów.

AbstractThis study examines the role of processes transporting tracers across the Polar Front (PF) in the depth interval between the surface and major topographic sills, which this study refers to as the “PF core.” A preindustrial control simulation of an eddying climate model coupled to a biogeochemical model [GFDL Climate Model, version 2.6 (CM2.6)– simplified version of the Biogeochemistry with Light Iron Nutrients and Gas (miniBLING) 0.1° ocean model] is used to investigate the transport of heat, carbon, oxygen, and phosphate across the PF core, with a particular focus on the role of mesoscale eddies. The authors find that the total transport across the PF core results from a ubiquitous Ekman transport that drives the upwelled tracers to the north and a localized opposing eddy transport that induces tracer leakages to the south at major topographic obstacles. In the Ekman layer, the southward eddy transport only partially compensates the northward Ekman transport, while below the Ekman layer, the southward eddy transport dominates the total transport but remains much smaller in magnitude than the near-surface northward transport. Most of the southward branch of the total transport is achieved below the PF core, mainly through geostrophic currents. This study finds that the eddy-diffusive transport reinforces the southward eddy-advective transport for carbon and heat, and opposes it for oxygen and phosphate. Eddy-advective transport is likely to be the leading-order component of eddy-induced transport for all four tracers. However, eddy-diffusive transport may provide a significant contribution to the southward eddy heat transport due to strong along-isopycnal temperature gradients.
Through the Eyes of the Experts: Meteorologists’ Perceptions of the Probability of Precipitation

Abstract
Prior surveys of the public indicated that a variety of meanings and interpretations exist about the probability of precipitation (PoP). Does the same variety of meanings for the PoP exist among members of the professional atmospheric science community? What do members of the professional community think that the public should know to understand the PoP more fully? These questions were examined in a survey of 188 meteorologists and broadcasters. Meteorologists were observed to express a variety of different definitions of the PoP and also indicated a high degree of confidence in the accuracy of their definitions. Differences in the definitions stemmed from the way the PoP was derived from model output statistics, parsing of a 12-h PoP over shorter time frames, and generalizing from a point PoP to a wider coverage warning area. In this regard 43% of the online survey respondents believed that there was no or very little consistency in the definition of PoP; only 8% believed that the PoP definition has been used in a consistent manner. The respondents believed that the PoP was limited in its value to the general public because, on average, those surveyed believed that only about 22% of the population had an accurate conception of the PoP. These results imply that the atmospheric science community should work to achieve a wider consensus about the meaning of the PoP. Further, until meteorologists develop a consistent conception of the PoP and disseminate it, the public’s understanding of PoP-based forecasts may remain fuzzy.

Published: September 2015

Objectives: We investigated the effect of topical steroids on clinical outcomes and related immune response of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) patients and in eradicating some polyps. We want to explore a new potential mechanism linked to Th-17 cells. Methods: Prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies with 24 allergic and nonallergic patients were randomized to either placebo or fluticasone furoate for 12 weeks. Assessment of clinical response, endoscopic score with biopsies of the inferior turbinate, and polyps before and after treatment were performed. Biopsies were stained for T-cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, and IL-17A/F. Results: Steroid treatment improved the mean symptoms scores from 7.12 to 4.02 ( P < .01) and the polyp score from 5.13 to 3.31 ( P < .05), but the comparison with placebo was not statistically significant in nonallergics due to insufficient study power. Steroid treatment decreased eosinophil counts on allergics but not neutrophils or T-cells. The IL-17A/F expression was higher in nonallergics with high neutrophil counts and was inclined by steroids. Compared to baselines, IL-17 cells were significantly less in allergic individuals and were not observed in allergics and with high neutrophil counts. Conclusion: Topical steroids were more effective on certain nasal polyp phenotypes. Identification of polyp phenotype might be essential to ensure a better therapeutic response to intranasal corticosteroids.
Testing for cultural measurement equivalence in research on domestic and international tertiary students' fear of crime

Published: September 2015

ObjectivesEducation institutions routinely instruct students on how to remain safe from crime. We hold that this instruction and much of the associated practice might be problematic, because none of the researchers who have contrasted the fears and the victimization avoidance strategies of domestic and international students have tested for cultural measurement equivalence. This study aims to examine, whether cultural measurement equivalence exists when domestic and international tertiary students respond to fear of crime-related measures.MethodsThis cross-sectional study involved 1170 tertiary students across four Melbourne-based universities, Australia. Multiple group confirmatory factor analyses with covariance and mean structures, using structural equation modeling, were used to test whether the same constructs were measured across international and local tertiary students.ResultsThe two cohorts hold the same conceptual frame of reference when responding to the measurement items. However, the cohorts display different true score values in relation to a number of questionnaire items associated with fear of crime, perceptions of safety, and avoidance behavior.ConclusionsThis study suggests that researchers need to render testing for cultural measurement equivalence standard practice, when undertaking cross-cultural studies of student safety and that such practice should also be incorporated into student safety programs.
Inter-professional prescribing masterclass for medical students and non-medical prescribing students (nurses and pharmacists): a pilot study
Authors: Paterson R , Rolfe A , Coll A , Kinnear M 
Published: September 2015

Background and aims Prescribing errors cause significant patient morbidity and mortality. Current legislation allows prescribing by different health professions. Inter-professional collaboration and learning may result in safer prescribing practice. This study aimed to develop, pilot and test the feasibility of a simulated inter-professional prescribing masterclass for non-medical prescribing students, medical students and pharmacists. Methods and results A three-scenario, simulated patient session was designed and implemented by an expert panel. Medical students, non-medical prescribing students and pharmacists worked together to formulate and implement evidence-based prescriptions. The Readiness for Inter-professional Learning Score (RIPLS) and a self-efficacy score were administered to the students and the Trust in Physician Score to the simulated patients. Overall, the RIPLS and self-efficacy scores increased. Pharmacists showed the highest rating in the Trust in Physician score. Post masterclass group discussions suggested that the intervention was viewed as a positive educational experience. Conclusion An inter-professional prescribing masterclass is feasible and acceptable to students. It increases self-efficacy, readiness for inter-professional learning and allows students to learn from, about and with each other. A larger study is warranted and the use of feedback from simulated patients explored further.

Published: September 2015

Introduction There have been a number of drivers for the use of simulation in healthcare education for the NHS workforce. The development of an accessible and efficient national approach to its implementation has been challenging. Methods An action research approach was used to develop a national strategy using several data inputs. Results From sampling across practitioners and territorial health boards geographical and professional groups, access was the main challenge to the use of simulation. Conclusion Four priority areas were identified, which formed the basis of the national strategy Partnership for Care, which included a mobile unit, a managed educational network, a programme board and an alliance of stakeholders.
The application of the Practitioners in Applied Practice Model during breaking bad news communication training for medical students: a case study
Authors: Dunning Rose , Laidlaw Anita 
Published: September 2015

Background and aims Breaking bad news is a key skill within clinical communication and one which can impact outcomes for both the patient and practitioner. The evidence base for effective clinical communication training in breaking bad news is scarce. Frameworks have been found to assist the practitioner, such as SPIKES; however, the pedagogical approach used alongside such frameworks can vary. This study sought to examine the impact of utilising the Practitioners in Applied Practice Model (PAPM) alongside the SPIKES framework for training undergraduate medical students in breaking bad news. Methods and results A case study approach is used to highlight the impact of training based on the PAPM and SPIKES on patient-centred communication and simulated patient satisfaction with the clinical communication behaviour. Results showed that following training, both patient-centred behaviour and patient satisfaction improved. With detailed communication behaviour changes, a balance was established between rapport building behaviour, lifestyle and psychosocial talk alongside biomedical information. Conclusion This case study shows how the PAPM could be utilised alongside the SPIKES framework to improve breaking bad news communication in medical undergraduate students and describes the behavioural basis of the improvement. Further research is required to show the generalisability of this training intervention.

Published: September 2015

Introduction This study first aims to qualitatively explore the benefits of a community-based singing activity taking place in Montreal, Canada. The second aim is to identify the activity’s essential components that potentially explain these benefits. Method An exploratory evaluative design involving qualitative descriptive methods was used. Thirteen individuals with various mental illnesses, the voice teacher and the activity coordinator participated in a group interview. Findings Four main benefits emerged from the participants’ interviews: (1) rediscovering identity and gaining self-confidence; (2) resuming and engaging in meaningful occupations and projects; (3) learning to collaborate with others and improving social skills; (4) improving physical condition and cognitive skills. The essential components of the activity were identified as: a normalizing environment and the absence of stigma; high expectations and support for participants; teacher-led stress relief exercises and activities; the use of singing as an activity to express emotions and stimulate cognitive functions. Conclusion This community-based singing activity appears to have contributed to the recovery process of its participants. There is a clear role for occupational therapists to promote, facilitate and support such activities outside traditional mental health services, since the participants were looking for occupational participation opportunities in normalizing community contexts.

Published: September 2015

Introduction This study developed a training intervention (‘GetREAL’) to change the practice of staff working in National Health Service inpatient mental health rehabilitation units in order to increase service users’ engagement in activities. Method The intervention was developed through eight consultation events and piloting in two settings, drawing on the expertise of occupational therapists, psychiatrists, organisational change specialists and service users, together with multi-disciplinary teams. Results A manual for the intervention, a fidelity checklist, an induction programme and training materials were produced. The intervention applied a three-stage change model (predisposing, enabling and reinforcing) and was informed by theories from occupational therapy and organisational development. It was delivered by psychiatrists, occupational therapists, activity workers and service users. Staff were encouraged to change their ward structures and routines as well as their practice. Clinical supervision and reflective practice were integral to the trainers’ regime. Conclusion The intervention was theoretically coherent, allied to practice and shown to be feasible to deliver. It offered tailored work-based training to the whole multi-disciplinary team, including support staff. Making activity central to rehabilitation could improve patients’ use of time and their consequent function and wellbeing. However, questions were raised about long-term sustainability of change processes.

Published: September 2015

Background: Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a rare neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by early progressive visual dysfunction in the context of relative preservation of memory and a pattern of atrophy mainly involving the posterior cortex. The aim of the present study is to characterize the neuropsychiatric profile of PCA. Methods: The Neuropsychiatric Inventory was used to assess 12 neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in 28 patients with PCA and 34 patients with typical Alzheimer disease (AD) matched by age, disease duration, and illness severity. Results: The most commonly reported NPS in both groups were depression, anxiety, apathy, and irritability. However, aside from a trend toward lower rates of apathy in patients with PCA, there were no differences in the percentage of NPS presented in each group. All those patients presenting visual hallucinations in the PCA group also met diagnostic criteria for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Auditory hallucinations were only present in patients meeting diagnosis criteria for DLB. Conclusion: Prevalence of the 12 NPS examined was similar between patients with PCA and AD. Hallucinations in PCA may be helpful in the differential diagnosis between PCA-AD and PCA-DLB.

Published: September 2015

Background The prevalence and severity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) differs between ethnic groups and geographical regions. Although initially reported as rare, there is growing evidence that SLE is prevalent and runs a severe course in Africa. There is a paucity of prospective studies on African SLE patients. Objective The African Lupus Genetics Network (ALUGEN) is a multicentred framework seeking to prospectively assess outcomes in SLE patients in Africa. Outcomes measured will be death, hospital admission, disease activity flares, and SLE-related damage. We will explore predictors for these outcomes including clinical, serological, socio-demographic, therapeutic and genetic factors. Further, we will investigate comorbidities and health-related quality of life amongst these patients. Methods Data of patients recently (≤5 yrs) diagnosed with SLE will be collected at baseline and annual follow-up visits, and captured electronically. The ALUGEN project will facilitate standardized data capture for SLE cases in Africa, allowing participating centres to develop their own SLE registries, and enabling collaboration to enrich our understanding of inter-ethnic and regional variations in disease expression. Conclusion Comprehensive, high-quality multi-ethnic data on African SLE patients will expand knowledge of the disease and inform clinical practice, in addition to augmenting research capacity and networking links and providing a platform for future biomarker and interventional studies.
