Linking Wor(l)ds: A Coursebook on Translation
No full textLinking Wor(l)ds: A Coursebook on Translation is aimed at advanced learners of English (European Level C1) with an excellent command of Italian at European Level C2 or above. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyse the structure of words, lexical and sense relations, word classes, and the structure of phrases, clauses, and sentences. They will also become aware of the relevance of contrastive linguistics for examining the similarities and differences between English and Italian, thus developing the skills necessary for translating a variety of written texts in accordance with the descriptors of the CEFR Companion Volume. The new edition of Linking Wor(l)ds includes an updated version of both the textbook and the accompanying digital workbook, English Lexis, Grammar and Translation, authored by Richard D.G. Braithwaite, freelance language teacher with nearly twenty years’ experience in TESOL
Linking Wor(l)ds: Contrastive Analysis and Translation.
No full textThe volume is aimed at L1 Italian students of English as L2 at C1 level. Key linguistic concepts are explained and exemplified in order to analyse the structure of words, their lexical and sense relations, word classes, phrases and sentences. Students will also examine a variety of translation problems that may arise when there is no direct equivalence between English and Italian. Each chapter contains examples from a wide range of texts as well as language activities and translation tasks. A useful glossary defining linguistic terminology is provided together with a key for self-study. This third edition contains new examples, new translation tasks and un updated bibliography. The book is accompanied by a digital workbook authored by Richard D.G. Braithwaite

Cancer prevention for global health: A report from the ASPO international cancer prevention interest group
No full textAs cancer incidence and mortality rates increase in low- and middle-income countries, the need for cancer prevention and control research directed to these countries becomes increasingly important. The American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) is a community of professionals in cancer prevention and control whose mission is to "foster the continuing development of investigators and the exchange and translation of scientific information to reduce the cancer burden." In the session presented at the ASPO 36th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC in March 2012, chaired by Drs. Frank Meyskens and Dejana Braithwaite, Dr. Paolo Boffetta discussed some of the achievements in global cancer prevention and suggested that future efforts focus on three major causes of cancer: tobacco-use, infections, and overweight/obesity. Dr. Timothy Rebbeck presented an overview of prostate cancer research in sub-Saharan Africa and highlighted how the complex nature of prostate cancer etiology and outcomes can be addressed through capacity-building research partnerships. Cancer is an emerging public health challenge in developing countries because of the aging and expansion of the population and increased prevalence of cancer risk factors such as smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and reproductive factors. There are opportunities to reduce the growing cancer burden through the development of research capacity and the application of resource-appropriate interventions. ©2012 AACR

Should energy labels for washing machines be expanded to include a durability rating?
No full textWashing machines are a key household appliance that can be found in the majority of UK homes. Over 2.5 million are sold in the UK every year and account for one of the highest material and production impacts of householder products in the UK (WRAP, 2011). Energy efficiency ratings are provided as a method for consumers to make an informed purchasing decision and were brought in by EU legislation to reduce energy use and enable users to reduce running costs, as it is known that the greater environmental impact of a washing machine is during use. From 2014, all washing machines sold must be at a minimum A rated, with ratings increasing to A+++. However, under this current labelling system the embodied impacts and durability of the machines are ignored. Through semi-structured interviews with consumers, manufacturers and distributors, this paper explores different perceptions of longevity and expectations of performance and durability. The paper explores whether energy labels should be expanded to include durability information, as this could enable consumers to make a decision based not only on cost and energy efficiency but also on expected lifespan. Existing manufacturer’s guarantees may give an indication of the expected durability of the product and this is investigated to explore if there is a positive correlation. The findings will further discuss the potential impacts of providing durability information and how this could enable manufacturers and consumers to shift towards a low material and energy future
