GERMAN-SLOVENE TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY: THE CASE OF ISO 12100
Get PDFV diplomski nalogi smo se osredotočili na strokovnega prevajalca tehničnih besedil in prevajanje tehničnih dokumentov. Posebno pozornost smo posvetili strokovni terminologiji, in sicer predvsem terminologiji s področja strojništva. Glede na hiter razvoj se posledično razvija tudi strokovna terminologija. Zaradi hitrega razvoja se vedno znova pojavlja tudi potreba po novih in novih terminih. Na primeru standarda SIST EN ISO 12100, ki vsebuje osnovno strokovno terminologijo v povezavi z varnostjo strojev, smo preučevali uporabnost take terminologije pri prevajanju tehničnih besedil. Terminologijo iz standarda smo iskali v naključno izbranih navodilih za uporabo. Tudi navodila namreč sodijo k tehničnim dokumentom in ravno z njimi se prevajalci zelo pogosto srečajo pri svojem delu. Analizirali smo navodila za mini sekljalnik, kosilnico z nitko, digitalni multimeter, potopno črpalko in za visokotlačni čistilnik. Ugotavljali smo, koliko izrazov iz standarda lahko najdemo v izbranih navodilih, s katerimi izrazi bi jih še lahko nadomestili in ali obstajajo tudi izrazi, ki so primernejši od teh, ki jih najdemo v standardu. Ugotovili smo, da je možnosti za prevajanje tovrstne terminologije veliko več, kot jih ponuja standard SIST EN ISO 12100, a gre vseeno za uporaben dokument, ki lahko služi kot dobro izhodišče vsem, ki se ukvarjajo s tehniškim prevajanjem.The main focus point of this diploma thesis is the work of a technical translator and the translation of technical documents. We closely examined the terminology, especially the terminology used in the very fast developing field of engineering. The rapid development in this field is the reason for the ever-increasing demand for new terminology. Based on the standard SIST EN ISO 12100, which includes terminology on machine safety, we analysed the usefulness of the set terminology for the translation of technical documents. We were looking for the terminology set by this standard in randomly selected manuals. Manuals are also technical documents and translators very often encounter these in their work. We have analysed manuals for a mini chopper, a line trimmer, a digital multimeter, an immersion pump, and a pressure washer. We tried to determine, how much of the terminology, set by the standard, can be found in these selected manuals, can this terminology be substituted, and if there are more appropriate terms as set by the standard. We found, that there are many possibilities how technical terminology is translated, not only with the terminology set by the standard SIST EN ISO 12100, yet these documents are still useful as a starting point for anyone that works with technical translation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Mechanical Hazard Simulator of PLC-Based Automation Technology According to ISO 12100
No full textAutomation technology is expected can enhance productivity, reduce unnecessary cost, and avoid the potential upcoming accidents. However, many automation machineries don’t fulfil safety requirements and have no third party safety certification. This situation requires internal risk assessment as a gate before technology deployment in order to reduce potential hazardous events. This research applies internal risk assessment of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)-based automation technology according to ISO 12100. Mechanical hazard simulator is built to describe the potential hazard and estimate risk level. Alternative solutions for technology retrofit is selected and built to reduce risk level. At the end of the research, risk level comparison is presented as the evidence of risk level reduction.Teknologi otomasi diharapkan mampu meningkatkan produktivitas, mengurangi biaya yang tidak diperlukan, dan mencegah potensi kecelakaan kerja di massa depan. Namun, banyak mesin otomasi tidak memenuhi persyaratan keselamatan kerja dan tidak memiliki sertifikasi dari pihak ketiga. Situasi ini mensyaratkan analisis resiko secara mandiri oleh pengguna mesin untuk mengurangi resiko kecelakaan kerja. Penelitian ini menerapakan analsisi resiko kecelakaan kerja secara mandiri untuk teknologi otomasi berbasis PLC berdasarkan ISO 12100. Simulator bahaya mekanik dibuat untuk menggambarkan potensi kecelakaan kerja dan mengestimasi level bahaya. Alternatif solusi untuk modifikasi teknologi dipilih dan dikembangkan untuk mengurangi level bahaya. Pada akhir penelitian, perbandingan tingkat bahaya, sebelum dan sesudah modifikasi teknologi, disajikan sebagai bukti adanya penurunan level bahaya
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
