Übersetzungstheorien und Gebrauchstexte
Authors: Simonnaes Ingrid 
Published: July 2009

The central research question for this paper is how and to what extent translation theories affect the translation of legal texts. I will use the functional-pragmatic approach as one particular modern translation theory and investigate translation solutions in the field of lexical and syntactic problems on the basis of a small corpus of legal texts from the National translator’s exam. As a means of control I compare these solutions with suggested solutions of a small number of candidates preparing themselves for the exam and of some translation experts.
My findings show that the old dichotomy free vs. literal is not applicable to this type of translations as we find ourselves on a continuum. The translation brief and the legal force of a particular text influence strongly the translation strategy. Whenever the legal force of the source text supersedes the target text, the strategy of the translator should be at the ‘documentary’ (Nord 1989) end of the continuum. My findings need however to be corroborated on the basis of a much bigger corpus which for the time being is established at the Department of Professional and Intercultural Communication at the Norwegian School of Economics and Administration (NHH) including other language pairs than the one from which I have drawn my examples.
Social context and translation of public notices
Authors: Zhang Meifang 
Published: July 2009

To study the translation of public notice is in effect seeking insights which take us beyond translation itself towards the whole relationship between language activity and the social context in which the translation is intended to function. Social context is an important aspect in the study of language and translation because the three are inextricably linked.
This paper attempts to investigate the text types, text functions and the translations of public notices functioning in the social context of Macao SAR of China. It tries to deduce about the contexts in which the ST and TT were produced, the purpose for which they were produced and the target reader for whom they were produced. The study is carried out in the light of Reiss’s theory of text typology (2000) and the Hallidayan systemic functional linguistics. It is hoped that this study will identity differences in public notice translation and explore the reasons behind the differences, and also be a test case for examining the role of functional theories of language in explaining some phenomena of translation. 	Texts for the analysis are extracted from the database for a research project undertaken by the present writer, and the analysis is conducted in terms of three text types and functions: informative, expressive and operative. The results of this study reveal that although one of the language functions might be dominant in a single text in a public notice, overlapping or combining functions are very often bestowed upon most texts. They also show that although invariance in the transfer of content could be achieved in the translation of informative texts, and an analogous form in the translation could be found in the transfer of an expressive text, there are more differences than similarities in the translation of texts with operative functions. 	Possible reasons behind the differences between the source and target texts are discussed. It is argued that the differences are most possibly caused by differences in cultural values, different religious backgrounds and different expectations between readers of the source and target texts.

The professional translation work is highly influenced by new communication opportunities, reason why teleworking must occupy its rightful
place in translator training at tertiary level. In addition, the ideal translation process should be divided into different stages (as
already occurs in major translation agencies), each task being assigned to a different team member with a different role. This paper
presents the results of a research study on translation students’ disposition towards and level of satisfaction with the use of a
collaborative work environment. We propose a “Professional Approach to Translator Training”, our didactic model combines elements of
roleplay, team-based task learning, simulation and case study in an innovative e-learning environment that functions via a collaborative
platform (BSCW).
Questionnaires were designed and used as evaluation tools before and after the experience of working in a collaborative environment. The
aim of these evaluation tools was to measure students’ knowledge of the following skills: computing, tele- and teamwork, and translation
tasks. The internal global consistency was adequate (Cronbach’s alpha in the pre-course questionnaire is 0.902 and the value for the
post-course questionnaire is 0.802).  Results show that collaborative work environments make the learning process easier, maintain students’
pre-existing positive disposition towards teamwork, and improve students’ self-confidence with regard to computers and translation tasks.
The data obtained from this study suggest that using a collaborative work platform in translation course is beneficial, enabling students to
gain confidence and feel satisfied with their work.
Dialogical journal writing as ‘self‐therapy’: ‘I matter’
Authors: Wright Jeannie K. 
Published: July 2009

AbstractAim: This case study of one woman's (Jane's) experience of dialogical journal writing presents a way of finding a ‘compassionate image’ for self‐therapy. Various theoretical analyses are indicated with Mindfulness‐based conceptualisations at the forefront. Methodology: Based on three recorded interviews, the narrative inquiry took place over a year. Methodologically, this paper is also one contribution to an ongoing debate about different research approaches in therapeutic writing research. Participants: This study took place in Aotearoa New Zealand, where both Jane and I are migrants. Discussion: This account draws on a report of self‐directed writing for well‐being, seen as an alternative to counselling or medication for depression and anxiety. It focuses on how a particular style of writing evolved and how the motivation to write continues.
Prediction of protein β-residue contacts by Markov logic networks with grounding-specific weights
Authors: Lippi Marco , Frasconi Paolo 
Published: July 2009

Abstract
Motivation: Accurate prediction of contacts between β-strand residues can significantly contribute towards ab initio prediction of the 3D structure of many proteins. Contacts in the same protein are highly interdependent. Therefore, significant improvements can be expected by applying statistical relational learners that overcome the usual machine learning assumption that examples are independent and identically distributed. Furthermore, the dependencies among β-residue contacts are subject to strong regularities, many of which are known a priori. In this article, we take advantage of Markov logic, a statistical relational learning framework that is able to capture dependencies between contacts, and constrain the solution according to domain knowledge expressed by means of weighted rules in a logical language.
Results: We introduce a novel hybrid architecture based on neural and Markov logic networks with grounding-specific weights. On a non-redundant dataset, our method achieves 44.9% F1 measure, with 47.3% precision and 42.7% recall, which is significantly better (P &lt; 0.01) than previously reported performance obtained by 2D recursive neural networks. Our approach also significantly improves the number of chains for which β-strands are nearly perfectly paired (36% of the chains are predicted with F1 ≥ 70% on coarse map). It also outperforms more general contact predictors on recent CASP 2008 targets.

aGEM: an integrative system for analyzing spatial-temporal gene-expression information
Authors: Jiménez-Lozano Natalia , Segura Joan , Macías José Ramón , Vega Juanjo , Carazo José María 
Published: July 2009

AbstractMotivation: The work presented here describes the ‘anatomical Gene-Expression Mapping (aGEM)’ Platform, a development conceived to integrate phenotypic information with the spatial and temporal distributions of genes expressed in the mouse. The aGEM Platform has been built by extending the Distributed Annotation System (DAS) protocol, which was originally designed to share genome annotations over the WWW. DAS is a client-server system in which a single client integrates information from multiple distributed servers.Results: The aGEM Platform provides information to answer three main questions. (i) Which genes are expressed in a given mouse anatomical component? (ii) In which mouse anatomical structures are a given gene or set of genes expressed? And (iii) is there any correlation among these findings? Currently, this Platform includes several well-known mouse resources (EMAGE, GXD and GENSAT), hosting gene-expression data mostly obtained from in situ techniques together with a broad set of image-derived annotations.Availability: The Platform is optimized for Firefox 3.0 and it is accessed through a friendly and intuitive display: http://agem.cnb.csic.esContact: natalia@cnb.csic.esSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at http://bioweb.cnb.csic.es/VisualOmics/aGEM/home.html and http://bioweb.cnb.csic.es/VisualOmics/index_VO.html and Bioinformatics online.
TileProbe: modeling tiling array probe effects using publicly available data
Authors: Judy Jennifer Toolan , Ji Hongkai 
Published: July 2009

Abstract
Motivation: Individual probes on an Affymetrix tiling array usually behave differently. Modeling and removing these probe effects are critical for detecting signals from the array data. Current data processing techniques either require control samples or use probe sequences to model probe-specific variability, such as with MAT. Although the MAT approach can be applied without control samples, residual probe effects continue to distort the true biological signals.
Results: We propose TileProbe, a new technique that builds upon the MAT algorithm by incorporating publicly available data sets to remove tiling array probe effects. By using a large number of these readily available arrays, TileProbe robustly models the residual probe effects that MAT model cannot explain. When applied to analyzing ChIP-chip data, TileProbe performs consistently better than MAT across a variety of analytical conditions. This shows that TileProbe resolves the issue of probe-specific effects more completely.

The impact of commercial fishing on the determination of habitat associations for sea scallops (Placopecten magellanicus, Gmelin)

AbstractSmith, S. J., Black, J., Todd, B. J., Kostylev, V. E. and Lundy, M. J. 2009. The impact of commercial fishing on the determination of habitat associations for sea scallops (Placopecten magellanicus, Gmelin). – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 66: 2043–2051. The sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) population off southwestern Nova Scotia in Scallop Fishing Area 29 has been monitored by an annual drag survey since the fishery started there in 2001. A new stratification scheme based on surficial geology maps from a multibeam bottom mapping and geology ground-truth project completed in 2004 in the area have been used for survey design since 2005. Survey data from before 2005 have been post-stratified using the new strata. The efficiency of the design with respect to variance reduction appears to have diminished over time suggesting that the association between scallop abundance and bottom type may not have been as strong or constant as first assumed. Modelling of the association between scallop abundance and bottom type and depth using a Bayesian hierarchical approach confirms this diminishing relationship. Comparison of the results from the model with spatial measures of fishing effort based on satellite vessel monitoring data suggests that increasing exploitation may be masking the relationships as scallop beds are targeted and fished down. These results could have implications on the interpretation of species habitat associations from areas where data are only available from periods when the populations have been exploited over a long time. In these cases, the spatial distribution of fishing effort may be a better indicator of species habitat associations than the estimates from surveys.
CCR1 expression and signal transduction by murine BMMC results in secretion of TNF-α, TGFβ-1 and IL-6

Published: July 2009

Abstract
Chemokine receptors (CCRs) are important co-stimulatory molecules found on many blood cells and associated with various diseases. The expression and function of CCRs on mast cells has been quite controversial. In this study, we report for the first time that murine bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) express messenger RNA and protein for CCR1. BMMC cultured in the presence of murine recombinant stem cell factor and murine IL-3 expressed CCR1 after 5–6 weeks. We also report for the first time that mBMMCCCR1+ cells endogenously express neurokinin receptor-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. To examine the activity of CCR1 on these BMMC, we simultaneously stimulated two receptors: CCR1 by its ligand macrophage inflammatory protein-1α and the IgE receptor FcεRI by antigen cross-linking. We found that co-stimulation enhanced BMMC degranulation compared with FcεRI stimulation alone, as assessed by β-hexosaminidase activity (85 versus 54%, P &lt; 0.0001) and Ca2+ influx (223 versus 183 nM, P &lt; 0.05). We also observed significant increases in mast cell secretion of key growth factors, cytokines and chemokine mediators upon CCR1–FcεRI co-stimulation. These factors include transforming growth factor β-1, tumor necrosis factor-α and the cytokine IL-6. Taken together, our data indicate that CCR1 plays a key role in BMMC function. These findings contribute to our understanding of mechanisms for immune cell trafficking during inflammation.
Computational Identification of Potential Molecular Interactions in Arabidopsis

Published: July 2009

Abstract
Knowledge of the protein interaction network is useful to assist molecular mechanism studies. Several major repositories have been established to collect and organize reported protein interactions. Many interactions have been reported in several model organisms, yet a very limited number of plant interactions can thus far be found in these major databases. Computational identification of potential plant interactions, therefore, is desired to facilitate relevant research. In this work, we constructed a support vector machine model to predict potential Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) protein interactions based on a variety of indirect evidence. In a 100-iteration bootstrap evaluation, the confidence of our predicted interactions was estimated to be 48.67%, and these interactions were expected to cover 29.02% of the entire interactome. The sensitivity of our model was validated with an independent evaluation data set consisting of newly reported interactions that did not overlap with the examples used in model training and testing. Results showed that our model successfully recognized 28.91% of the new interactions, similar to its expected sensitivity (29.02%). Applying this model to all possible Arabidopsis protein pairs resulted in 224,206 potential interactions, which is the largest and most accurate set of predicted Arabidopsis interactions at present. In order to facilitate the use of our results, we present the Predicted Arabidopsis Interactome Resource, with detailed annotations and more specific per interaction confidence measurements.

The personal curation of digital objects
Authors: Williams Peter , Leighton John Jeremy , Rowland Ian 
Published: July 2009

PurposeThis paper aims to set out a coherent intellectual framework to help to better understand how people create, organise, manage, use and dispose of their personal digital archives. The context for this is the increasing volume and diversity of digital information objects being captured and stored by individuals in their personal capacities and the need to find ways to preserve this material for posterity.Design/methodology/approachThe research presented here is based on literature analysis, the questions having been informed by an earlier series of in‐depth interviews. The approach taken is to synthesise key concepts from the computer science, information management, and archives and records management literatures. Key concepts from the existing literature in computer science, information management, and archives and records management were elicited and synthesised to create a coherent document lifecycle narrative.FindingsIndividuals exhibit great diversity in terms of personal information management and digital archiving practice at just about every point in the digital information cycle: much more so than is the case in formal repositories. Practices exhibited are not always conducive to efficient document management. This represents a very keen challenge for professional curatorial practice.Practical implicationsLittle is known about how individuals manage digital information resources in their personal capacity, outside of their corporate or institutional employment. Yet both individuals on their own and professional curators on behalf of repositories are increasingly being faced with the challenge of how to deal with digital media. It is hoped that this paper will contribute to a growing debate in this area.Originality/valuePersonal information management from the perspective of personal digital archives is a surprisingly under‐researched area and the proposed model adopts an archival information lifecycle approach. It seeks to apply and promote an archivally‐oriented personal information management.
The digital native – myth and reality
Authors: Selwyn Neil 
Published: July 2009

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop and promote a realistic understanding of young people and digital technology with a view to supporting information professionals in playing useful and meaningful roles in supporting current generations of young people. In particular the paper aims to offer a critical perspective on popular and political understandings of young people and digital technologies – characterised by notions of “digital natives”, the “net generation” and other commonsense portrayals of expert young technology users. The paper seeks to consider the accuracy of such descriptions in reflecting young people's actual uses of digital technology and digital information.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent published literatures on young people and digital technology in information sciences, education studies and media/communication studies.FindingsThe findings show that young people's engagements with digital technologies are varied and often unspectacular – in stark contrast to popular portrayals of the digital native. As such, the paper highlights a misplaced technological and biological determinism that underpins current portrayals of children, young people and digital technology.Originality/valueThe paper challenges the popular assumption that current generations of children and young people are innate, talented users of digital technologies. Having presented a more realistic basis for approaching generational differences in technology use, the paper explores the functions and roles that information professionals can be expected to play in supporting young people in the digital age.
Scientific publishing: a case study of Libyan scientists
Authors: Mahmood Intesar , Rowley Jennifer , Hartley Richard 
Published: July 2009

PurposeThe paper aims to report on a research project that explores the extent and scope of scientific publishing, communication, and collaboration amongst Libyan scientists.Design/methodology/approachThe paper commences with a literature review on scientific communication and publishing, including a specific focus on such activities in developing countries. A bibliometric analysis of the papers published by scientists in research centres affiliated to Libya's National Centre for Scientific Research was conducted in order to investigate the extent and nature of scholarly communication of Libyan scientists.FindingsLibyan scientists are a community that works in research teams, largely comprised of scientists in Libya, but, which, on the other hand, is actively disseminating the findings of its research to a wider international audience. This is evident from the publications of 45 per cent of papers in English, and a significant level of publication in countries outside Libya. Further, the extent to which publication is through conferences and symposia is evidence of engagement in informal communication within and beyond the scientific community in Libya.Originality/valueThis is the first study of scientific publishing and communication activities in Libya. It offers useful insights into a variety of aspects of communication and dissemination of research findings. As such it provides a useful contribution towards understanding the potential impact of new models of scholarly publishing, both in Libya, and in other developing countries.
Characteristics of open access scholarly publishing
Authors: Kousha Kayvan 
Published: July 2009

PurposeMore knowledge about open access (OA) scholarly publishing on the web would be helpful for citation data mining and the development of web‐based citation indexes. Hence, the main purpose of this study is to identify common characteristics of open access publishing, which may therefore enable us to measure different aspects of e‐research on the web.Design/methodology/approachIn the current study, five characteristics of 545 OA citing sources targeting OA research articles in four science and four social science disciplines were manually identified, including file format, hyperlinking, internet domain, language and publication year.FindingsAbout 60 per cent of the OA citing sources targeting research papers were in PDF format, 30 per cent were from academic domains ending in edu and ac and 70 per cent of the citations were not hyperlinked. Moreover, 16 per cent of the OA citing sources targeting studied papers in the eight selected disciplines were in non‐English languages. Additional analyses revealed significant disciplinary differences in some studied characteristics across science and the social sciences.Originality/valueThe OA web citation network was dominated by PDF format files and non‐hyperlinked citations. This knowledge of characteristics shaping the OA citation network gives a better understanding about their potential uses for open access scholarly research.
