Computer-Assisted Literary Translation

Computer-Assisted Literary Translation

This collection surveys the state of the art of computer-assisted literary translation (CALT) making the case for its potential to enhance literary translation research and practice. The volume brings together early career and established scholars from around the world in countering prevailing notions around the challenges of effectively implementing contemporary CALT applications in literary translation practice which has traditionally followed the model of a single translator focused on a single work. The book begins by addressing key questions on the definition of literary translation examining its sociological dimensions and individual translator perspective. Chapters explore the affordances of technological advancements and availability of new tools in such areas as post-edited machine translation (PEMT) in expanding the boundaries of what we think of when we think of literary translation looking to examples from developments in co-translation collaborative translation crowd-sourced translation and fan translation. As the first book of its kind dedicated to the contribution CALT in its various forms can add to existing and future scholarship this volume will be of interest to students and scholars in Translation Studies especially those working in literary translation machine translation and translation technologies.

Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

In the 1960s only 10% of peace agreements included some element of political-military accommodation – namely military integration. From Burundi to Bosnia to Zimbabwe that number had increased to over 50% by the 2000s. However relatively little is understood about this dimension of power-sharing often utilized during war-to-peace transitions. Through an examination of the case of South Sudan between 2006 and 2013 this book explores why countries undergoing transitions from war to peace decide to integrate armed groups into a statutory security framework. This book details how integration contributed to short-term stability in South Sudan allowing the government to overcome wartime factionalism and consolidate political-military power prior to the referendum on self-determination in 2011. It also examines how the integration process in South Sudan was flawed by its open-ended nature and lack of coordination with efforts to right-size the military and transform the broader defense sector and how this led the military to fragment during periods of heightened political competition. Furthermore the book explains why integration ultimately failed in South Sudan and identifies the wider lessons that could be applied to current or future war-to-peace transitions. This book will be of great interest to students of war and conflict studies peacebuilding post-conflict reconstruction African security issues and International Relations in general as well as to practitioners. | Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

Abnormal Hemoglobins in Human Populations

Abnormal Hemoglobins in Human Populations

Research on abnormal human hemoglobins (protein in blood that carries oxygen) has taught us about the inheritance biochemistry and distribution of these traits. This knowledge coupled with mathematical research using computer models of population genetics has enabled researchers to marry biological fact and genetic theory. This volume places medical understanding in an evolutionary framework. Using published data on the frequencies of abnormal hemoglobins in the world's populations Livingston analyzes and interprets these frequencies in the light of world distribution of different forms of diseases such as malaria. He further develops the genetic theory of the evolutionary homeostasis. Livingston discusses the relation of abnormal hemoglobins to endemic malaria and shows how natural selection pressures explain the known distribution of these traits. Where non-coinciding distributions arise the book presents other genetic anthropological evolutionary and epidemiological evidence to explain these discrepancies. This classic work remains a useful sourcebook for professors and graduate students of anthropology genetics epidemiology and hematology. | Abnormal Hemoglobins in Human Populations

Necessary But Not Sufficient A Theory of Constraints Business Novel

Necessary But Not Sufficient A Theory of Constraints Business Novel

After reading the newspapers and following the sharp oscillations of the stock market it becomes apparent that hi-tech companies are of a different breed. Never before have the chances of making a fortune been so realistic and never before have large companies been so fragile. What is really going on inside these hi-tech companies? What types of pressures and challenges are they facing? And how do they cope? Computer software providers especially the ones that specialise in handling the data needs of organizations are prime examples of these volatile companies. In the nineties we witnessed their growth from small businesses into multi-billion dollar giants. No wonder investors were attracted. In 1998 it was easy for such companies to raise as much money as they wanted. But now investment funds have dried up. Why? And more importantly is there a way to reverse the trend?

Ecology of Communication

Ecology of Communication

Altheide's new book advances the argument set in motion some years ago with 'Media Logic' and continued in 'Media Worlds in the Postjournalism Era:' that in our age information technology and the communication environments it posits have affected the private and the social spheres of all our power relationships redefining the ground rules for social life and concepts such as freedom and justice. Articulated through an interactionist and non-deterministic focus 'An Ecology of Communication' offers a distinctive perspective for understanding the impact of information technology communication formats and social activities in the new electronic environment. As more routines rituals and activities incorporate such technologies within their organizational cultures new sorts of activities are added and previous ones are changed according to an underlying logic explored in these pages. Various chapters illustrate some of these altered and redefined organizational cultures: bureaucracy the mass media computer formats war surveillance and testing among others.

Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

Rapid changes in land use especially in growing metropolitan areas have created problems that increasingly indicate an urgent need for techniques and procedures for making intelligent land-use decisions. This book identifies the potential undesirable effects of land-use changes and provides techniques for estimating and minimizing them. Based on several years of research conducted by a team of thirty-four faculty and assistants the study shows how planners and decision makers can benefit from such contemporary planning tools as remote sensing statistical analysis and computer technology as well as a variety of evaluation procedures. Part 1 describes the problems of contemporary urbanization and offers a set of planning principles and tools for working with the environmental landscape. These principles and tools are the basis of the procedures detailed in Part 2; the assessment procedures in turn are an essential part of the two current planning approaches—the holistic landscape approach and the parametric approach—described in Part 3. | Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use
