The challenges of machine translation of academic publications
No full textClear translation remains a major challenge to better communication and understanding of the international academic literature, despite advances in Machine Translation (MT). Automatic translation systems which captured the detail and the sense of any manuscript in any language for a reader from any other linguistic background would find global applications.In this article, we discuss the current opportunities and constraints to the wider use of machine translation and computer-assisted human translation (CAT). At the present stage of technology development, these instruments offer a number of advantages to specialists working with scientific texts. These include the facility to skim and scan large amounts of information in foreign languages, and to act as digital dictionaries, thesauri and encyclopedias. Word-to-word and phrase-to-phrase translation between many languages and scripts is now well advanced. The availability of modern machine translation has therefore changed the work of specialist scientific translators, placing greater emphasis on more advanced text and sense editing skills. However, machine translation is still challenged by the nuances of language and culture from one society to another, particularlyin the freestyle literature of the arts and humanities. Scientific papers are generally much more structured, but the quality of machine translation still largely depends on the quality of the source text. This varies considerably between different scientific disciplines and from one author to another. The most advanced translation systems are making steady progress. It is timely to revisit traditional training programmes in the field of written translation to focus on the development of higher-level research competencies, such as terminology search, and so to make best use of evolving machine translation technologies. More widely, we consider that there is a challenge across the higher education systems in all countries to develop a simple, clear and consistent “international” writing style to assist fast, reliable and low-cost machine translation and hence to advance mutual understanding across the global scientific literature
Early work of N.G. (Dick) de Bruijn in analysis and some of my own
No full textThere are parallels between de Bruijn’s early work in analysis and that of the author. However, Dick’s work soon became much broader and deeper. While the present paper reviews several topics of common interest, its main content is a short version of Dick’s important article related to Riemann’s Hypothesis, entitled ‘The roots of trigonometric integrals’ [N.G. de Bruijn, The roots of trigonometric integrals, Duke Math. J. 17 (1950) 197-226]. The associated ‘de Bruijn-Newman constant’ is also discussed
Monograph review: Valeeva N.G. Chistopol county zemstvo of the Kazan province (1865–1914)
No full textThe article gives an overview of the monograph of N.G. Valeeva Chistopol County Zemstvo of the Kazan province (1865–1914). Being a study of local lore in the book, at the same time, questions related to the institute of zemstvo self-government are raised. Using the example of the zemstvo of one of the largest districts of the Kazan province, the mechanism of the functioning of local government is presented. Particular attention is paid to Zemstvo events in the field of medicine, education and agriculture. The author attaches great importance to the personality factor and, applying an anthropological approach, shows the influence of individual outstanding zemstvo people on the development of the county

Nowadays, objectives of space medicine are to study the impact of space factors (microgravity, hypogravity, space radiation) on the human body, as well as to develop recommendations for improving the performance of crew members during space expeditions.
Microgravity occurs while being at a great distance from celestial bodies when their gravitational influence is very small. And hypogravity, in turn, is a variant of reduced gravity.
Over the past few years, NASA officers have repeatedly recorded changes in the visual organ of astronauts after long space missions, in particular, they manifested an optic nerve swelling, a reduction in the anterior-posterior axial length of the eye, a change in blood flow velocity, and hypermetropia. European scientists obtained similar data. Also, velvet-like exudates were ophthalmoscopically revealed and visual field loss was recorded. National scientists have reported a varying severity of optic nerve swelling in astronauts after long space missions.
The article presents a structured review of the results of both foreign and national scientists as a result of astronaut survey during space missions and after their completion.
Key words: microgravity, hypogravity, space flight, intraocular pressure, optic nerve swelling, hypermetropia, intracranial pressure.

Applying the Flood Vulnerability Index as a Knowledge base for flood risk assessment
No full textFloods are one of the most common and widely distributed natural risks to life and property worldwide. An important part of modern flood risk management is to evaluate vulnerability to floods. This evaluation can be done only by using a parametric approach. Worldwide there is a need to enhance our understanding of vulnerability and to also develop methodologies and tools to assess vulnerability. One of the most important goals of assessing flood vulnerability is to create a readily understandable link between the theoretical concepts of flood vulnerability and the day-to-day decision-making process and to encapsulate this link in an easily accessible tool.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, St. Petersburg, Russian FederationОписаны результаты сравнительного анализа показателей высших психических функций больных после инсульта с левосторонним и с правосторонним очагом поражения головного мозга в условиях реабилитационного стационара. Применялись патопсихологические и другие экспериментально-психологические методы психодиагностики, изучалось качество жизни и показатели, характеризующие самообслуживание.
Выявлены значимые взаимосвязи показателей высших психических функций больных с показателями уровня ограничения самообслуживания и жизнедеятельности. Обозначены направления психологической помощи больным с левосторонним и с правосторонним очагом поражения головного мозга. Показана необходимость включения мероприятий психологической помощи в комплексные программы реабилитации больных после инсульта.The article presents the results of comparative analysis of higher mental functions in poststroke patients with left- and right-sided brain lesions under the conditions of rehabilitation inpatient department. Author studied quality of life and life-sustaining activity using pathopsycho- logical and other experimental psychological assessment methods. The findings revealed significant interrelations between measures of higher mental functions and level of life-sustaining activity and self-care limitations. Ways of psychological support for patients with left- and right-sided brain lesions were denoted. The findings show the necessity to involve psychological support for complex rehabilitation programs of patients in post-stroke conditions
Ecodesign in Central America
No full textThis PhD thesis describes and analyses the change process started by the Ecodesign project in Central America, executed between 1998 and 2002. The project started using the concept and praxis developed in Europe. Nine ecodesign projects were performed in industry, and ecodesign was introduced to counterpart organisations. With these first experiences, the concept was adapted into a regional approach for Central America. The focus in this next phase was on local leadership, learning by young professionals and national network building in Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador. The focus in the next industrial projects shifted towards service, sector and chain approaches. The PhD study is organised as multiple case study research, centering around the following research questions: How successful is the adoption of ecodesign in the participating companies, and what are the key factors influencing this? Is facilitation of ecodesign successful and is it locally owned? Is there sustained capacity in Central America to continue and expand ecodesign activities? On the basis of an operationalisation of 30 key research factors, the case studies are analysed in detail, and the research questions are answered. With the lessons learned, suggestions for strategic continuation are given.Design, Engineering and Productio
