Étude sur la traduction des aspects culturels et la métonymie concernant un phénomène universel : le repas gastronomique. / A study of Cultural Aspects and Metonymy in the translation of a universal phenomenon: “le repas gastronomique”.Forsell, Helena January 2014 (has links)
Abstract Title: How to translate cultural references Language: French Author: Helena Forsell University/Department/Year: Linnaeus University/School of Language and Literature/2014 The main focus of this paper has been to find out which difficulties the translator comes across when trying to find cultural references that will apply in the target text. Since the original text treats a cultural aspect concerning the French gastronomic meal, the aim has also been to find out whether a deeply human trait, such as eating a meal in the company of others, produces translation problems despite a fairly common ground between French and Swedish culture. The source text used in this study is Convention pour la Sauvegarde du Patrimoine culturel immatériel, Dossier de Candidature n◦00437, which was published in 2010 and translated into Swedish in 2014. The main translation strategies used are adaptation, equivalence, addition and omission. Keywords: Cultural adaptation, translation strategies, reference, metonymy.

The challenging and critical role of information professionals in combating AIDS in IndiaGhosh, Maitrayee, Bhatt, Jay January 2006 (has links)
The nature of work for librarians/information professionals is undergoing a profound transformation, due to the arrival of deadly diseases like AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) and the change in information needs of the local community. This change necessitates much more professional expertise, updated knowledge, critical thinking and involvement in developing effective AIDS literacy programs. Information professionals serving in different libraries or potential information dissemination centers can provide dedicated services to society by helping to access AIDS information not only in urban settings but also in rural environments. This paper outlines strategies for effective collaboration in the context of AIDS literacy promotion efforts. It identifies a number of obstacles in the process of empowering the community and suitable measures essential for success.

Collaborative Reference Work in the BlogospherePomerantz, Jeffrey January 2006 (has links)
Purpose: This paper explores the use of blogs as a platform for providing reference service, and discusses Lyceum, an open source software project from ibiblio.org, for this purpose.
Design/methodology/approach: The following topics are explored: the evolution of libraries' uses of blogs, the advantages of conducting the reference transaction as a collaborative effort, and the use of blogs as an environment that fosters collaboration. The argument is made that blogs may be used to good effect in reference services
Findings: It is argued that blogs may be used to good effect in reference services. Lyceum, an open source blogosphere application, is discussed as an environment for blog-based reference service.
Originality/value: To date, blogs are not being used by a library reference services, and by few online reference service unaffiliated with libraries. This paper will be useful to libraries and other reference services interested in conducting the reference transaction as a community effort.

Reducing Indeterminism In Consultation: A Cognitive Model of User/Librarian InteractionsChen, Hsinchun, Dhar, Vasant January 1987 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / In information facilities such as libraries, finding documents that are relevant to a user query is
difficult because of the indeterminism involved in the process by which documents are indexed,
and the latitude users have in choosing terms to express a query on a particular topic. Reference
librarians play an important support role in coping with this indeterminism, focusing user queries
through an interactive dialog. Based on thirty detailed observations of user/librarian interactions
obtained through a field experiment, we have developed a computational model designed to simulate
the reference librarian. The consultation includes two phases. The first is handle search,
where the userâ s rough problem statement and a user stereotyping imposed by the librarian are
used in determining the appropriate tools (handles). The second phase is document search, involving
the search for documents within a chosen handle. We are collaborating with the university
library for putting our model to use as an intelligent assistant for an online retrieval system.

Knowing our users and responding to their needs-The impact of research on services in two university librariesLing, Zhang, Wang, Cong, McCarthy, Austin January 2006 (has links)
In an earlier paper the authors discussed reference services in two university libraries and suggested changes to the services based on a user survey. They also quoted research into staff and student use of information resources. Although libraries have no difficulty in compiling quantitative data, the use of such qualitative research to delve beyond the statistics, in order to better understand user needs, perceptions and behaviours, is a recent development at Harbin Engineering University Library, China. However, at the Library of the University of Northumbria in England there is a long history of using research to evaluate services. This paper gives a very brief introduction to the value of qualitative re-search in evaluating services and providing a sound basis for management decisions about staffing and service delivery. Some of the methods used at the two universities are outlined. Finally, two case studies of research projects, one from each university, will be described and the extent to which they have resulted in changes to policies or practices will be examined.

Interpreting Workplace Learning in Terms of Discourse and Community of PracticeHo, Adrian K. January 2004 (has links)
This paper is an abridged version of my thesis for an M.A. in Communications Studies granted by the University of Calgary. I presented it at the National Communication Association 2004 Convention in Chicago, IL (Session 1536). I decided not to have it published in the conference proceedings. / Based on the ethnographic data collected from the workplace of an academic library, I argue that workplace learning (WL) is a situated socio-cognitive process. It is expedited by knowledge management (KM), which is a collective effort to generate, share, and institutionalize work-related knowledge. KM is inherent in the face-to-face conversational interactions embedded in planned formal training, planned informal sharing, and spontaneous informal learning. When face-to-face interaction is not possible, KM is accomplished through textualization. It helps the members of the workplace acquire new work-related knowledge and integrate it to their common, contextualized knowledge base. The contents of the knowledge base are manifested in the membersâ professional practices and explicated by their professional/communal discourse. By virtue of their distinctive practices and discourse, the members form a community of practice (CoP) and gain their professional/communal identity. Whenever they engage in KM, perform their practices, and/or use their discourse, they authenticate their professional/communal identity and enact their CoP.

Programmable voltage reference generator for a SAR-ADCMylonas, Georgios January 2013 (has links)
SAR-ADCs are very popular and suitable for conversions up to few tens of MHz with 8 to 12 bits of resolution. A very popular type is the Charge Redistribution SAR-ADC which is based on a capacitive array. Higher speeds can be achieved by using the interleaving technique where a number of SAR-ADCs are working in parallel. These speeds, however, can only be achieved if the reference voltage can cope with the switching of the capacitive array. In this thesis the design of a programmable voltage reference generator for a Charge Redistribution SAR-ADC was studied. A number of architectures were studied and one based on a Current Steering DAC was chosen because of the settling time that could offer to the Charge Redistribution SAR-ADC switching operation. This architecture was further investigated in order to spot the weak points of the design and try to minimize the settling time. In the end, the final design was evaluated and possible trimming techniques were proposed that could further speed up the design.
