Recurrent features of translation, sometimes labelled as ‘translation universals’, have been intensively investigated within Descriptive Corpus-based Translation Studies. Numerous language pairs have been set under researchers’ lens with a view to observing languages from a contrastive viewpoint, but also individually, in their translational manifestations. This has enabled the identification of characteristic features of the translational facets of languages, which have generated more and more nuanced scholarly theories. This paper examines the occurrence of some of the most frequent features of translation, namely: explicitation, simplification and neutralisation in the translation of reference as a cohesive device. Methodologically speaking, the investigation combines the theoretical and applied areas of Translation Studies, with an interdisciplinary dimension provided by the fusion of methodological input borrowed from Descriptive Translation Studies, Discourse Analysis and Contrastive Studies. The theoretical component of the research refers to issues of contrastiveness between English and Romanian viewed from a translational angle, in terms of equivalence and the occurrence of the three features of translation. The applied area of Translation Studies comprises the empirical approach to the translation of reference, while addressing not only the researchers’ community, but also the practitioners in translation and the translator training environment. The research applies both quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate the data selected from John Fowles’ novel Mantissa (1982) and its translation into Romanian by Angela Jianu (Fowles 1995). The findings provide insights into the nature and functions of referring expressions as formal links, but also as stylistic devices, and shed light into issues related to contrastiveness of reference between English and Romanian, to aspects of equivalence and translatability, as well as to the occurrence of translation universals.

Niniejszy artykuł ma za zadanie przybliżyć warsztat edytorski drukarni Jakuba Siebeneichera funkcjonującej w Krakowie w latach 1583–1604. Postać typografa znajdowała się w cieniu wielu znakomitych ówczesnych właścicieli oficyn drukarskich, jak choćby Andrzeja Piotrkowczyka, Macieja Wirzbięty czy Jana Januszowskiego. Nie oznacza to jednak, że Siebeneicher ustępował im miejsca na polu warsztatu pracy i poziomie typograficznym wydawanych druków. Choć specjalizował się w małych formach wydawniczych, sławę jego oficynie przyniosły wydania luksusowe, takie jak Postylla Jakuba Wujka (1584) czy Kronika polska Marcina Bielskiego (1597). W artykule przedstawione zostały cechy charakterystyczne ramy wydawniczej druków z oficyny Jakuba Siebeneichera oraz uwagi na temat funkcjonowania konkretnych elementów typograficznych w projektach książek drukarza. Przeprowadzona analiza jest kolejnym etapem w badaniach nad działalnością wydawniczą rodu Siebeneicherów w Krakowie (1515–1627). Ich zwieńczeniem będzie przygotowanie edycji źródłowej całego zasobu drukarskiego oficyny. Research into Jakub Siebeneicher’s publishing house This article aims to shed light on the editorial workshop of Jakub Siebeneicher’s publishing house which operated in Krakow during the years 1583–1604. The typographer found himself in the shadow of many other outstanding owners of publishing houses at the time, such as Andrzej Piotrkowczyk, Maciej Wirzbięta and Jan Januszowski. This does not mean, however, that Siebeneicher’s work and the typographic level of his publications were inferior. Although he specialised in small publications, the renown of his publishing house was created by exclusive publications, such as Postylla by Jakub Wujek (1584) and Kronika polska by Marcin Bielski (1597). The article presents the characteristic features of publications from Jakub Siebeneicher’s publishing house as well as comments on the application of specific typographic elements in the printer’s book designs. There is also an analysis of the next stage of research into the publishing activities of the Siebeneicher family in Krakow (1515–1627), leading to the preparation of an edition containing all the printing resources of the publishing house.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated, using EXAFS, the local atomic structures of four zirconia polymorphs and their solid solutions with Ca2+, Ga3+, Fe3+, y3+, Gd3+, Ge4+, Ti4+, Ce4+ and Nb5+. Structural information up to 9Å, and in one special case up to 10.9Å, from the absorbing atom has been obtained. The characteristic features of local environments of both the host Zr and the dopant cations, and their variations leading to cation ordering and symmetry evolutions, are elucidated in terms of a dopant size effect and an oxygen vacancy effect. The dynamic aspects of the EXAFS Debye-Waller factor are used to shed light on the connection between phase transition, dopant stabilization, and cation-anion correlation.

Important Significance

The extensive use of inscriptions characterizes Islamic art and architecture. In fact, calligraphy is one of the most characteristic features distinguishing the Islamic civilization among the other cultures. Islamic buildings generally, and the residential ones in particular, have an abundant number of inscriptions. These inscriptions have, in addition to their ornamental role, an important significance represented in the meaning of their contents. This paper will shed light on the Arabic inscriptions of the Damascene Ottoman residences in order to discuss the inscription styles of script, as well as the meaning of their contents. The inscription styles of script include square geometric Kufi, Naskh and Thuluth. The most significant item is the inscription content, it is noteworthy that a few examples represent unread inscriptions, in other words, just an ornamental figure composed of Arabic letters with no meaning. The meanings of the inscriptions of the Damascene Ottoman residences could be categorized according to their purpose, position, and context; in this regard, the inscriptions are classified into commemorative, Quranic, the Prophet’s sayings, poetic inscriptions. On the other hand, the meanings of the inscriptions reflect the beliefs and the culture of the residences. (Please note that this article is in Arabic).

A necessary first step in collaboration between hypnosis research and meditation research is clarification of key concepts. The authors propose that such clarification is best advanced by neurophenomenological investigations that integrate neuroscience methods with phenomenological models based on first-person reports of hypnotic versus meditative experiences. Focusing on absorption, the authors argue that previous treatments of hypnosis and meditation as equivalent are incorrect, but that they can be fruitfully compared when characteristic features of the states described by these concepts are examined. To this end, the authors use the “phenomenological and neurocognitive matrix of mindfulness” (PNM), a multidimensional modelrecently proposed by Lutz and colleagues. The authors compare focused attention meditation and open monitoring meditation with hypnosis across the dimensions of the PNM, using it to interpret empirical research on hypnosis, and to shed light on debates about the role of meta-awareness in hypnosis and the role of suggestion in meditation.

On some aspects of the diplomatic traffic between the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg   The diplomatic traffic between the Grand Master of the Teutnic Order and Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg was carried out according to the common practices of diplomacy in late medieval Europe. Nevertheless, this topic deserves further exploration due to Sigismund’s efforts to impose suzerainty upon the Grand Master and the Teutonic Knights. This issue influenced their mutual relations after Sigismund’s election as Roman-German King in 1410/1411. There are numerous surviving sources, especially in the archive of the Teutonic Order in Berlin (GStA PK), such as legation’s instruction, dispatches and, last but not least, the political correspondence between the Grand Master and Emperor Sigismund. These sources can shed light not only on the complicated diplomatic relation between above-mentioned two entities, but also, due to richness of their content, on late medieval diplomacy in general. Based upon the research findings by Klaus Neitmann, who explored the Order’s legation exclusively, this paper tries to expand the field of research by including the legations of Sigismund. From this perspective only several selected aspects of the topic are examined in the study: 1) defining a legation (foreign mission) and its characteristic features; 2) the diplomatic traffic between the Grand Master and Sigismund of Luxembourg from a prosopographical perspective; and 3) the personal composition and communication at the court of Sigismund. The richness of sources makes new questions possible concerning not only this specific diplomatic traffic, but also late medieval diplomacy in general as well. However, the definite answers might be delivered after compiling a thorough list of all legations from both sides, which in light of the large number of primary sources must be reserved for another study.

Characteristic Features

One of the most characteristic features of cancer cells is their ability to metastasia. It is suggested that the modifications of the structure and properties of cancer cells surfaces play the main role in this process. The present work was aimed at finding out what ultrastructural features apear in tumor in vivo which removal of individual cancer cells from the cell population can provide. For this purpose the cellular interactions in the normal human thyroid and cancer tumor of this gland electron microscopic were studied. The tissues were fixed in osmium tetroxide and were embedded in Araldite-Epon.In normal human thyroid the most common type of intercellular contacts was represented by simple junction formed by the parallelalignment of adjacent cell membranees leaving in between an intermembranes space 15-20 nm filled with electronlucid material (Fig. 1a). Sometimes in the basal part of cells dilatations of the intercellular space 40-50 nm wide were found (Fig. 1a). Here the cell surfaces may form single short microvilli.

In the field of materials science, the importance of the ultrahigh resolution analytical electron microscope (UHRAEM) is increasing. A new UHRAEM which provides a resolution of better than 0.2 nm and allows analysis of a few nm areas has been developed. [Fig. 1 shows the external view] The followings are some characteristic features of the UHRAEM.Objective lens (OL)Two types of OL polepieces (URP for ±10' specimen tilt and ARP for ±30' tilt) have been developed. The optical constants shown in the table on the next page are figures calculated by the finite element method. However, Cs was experimentally confirmed by two methods (namely, Beam Tilt method and Krivanek method) as 0.45 ∼ 0.50 mm for URP and as 0.9 ∼ 1.0 mm for ARP, respectively. Fig. 2 shows an optical diffractogram obtained from a micrograph of amorphous carbon with URP under the Scherzer defocus condition. It demonstrates a resolution of 0.19 nm and a Cs smaller than 0.5 mm.

Cyclic Amp Signaling

The second messenger 3′,5′-cyclic nucleoside adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays a key role in signal transduction across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cyclic AMP signaling is compartmentalized into microdomains to fulfil specific functions. To define the function of cAMP within these microdomains, signaling needs to be analyzed with spatio-temporal precision. To this end, optogenetic approaches and genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors are particularly well suited. Synthesis and hydrolysis of cAMP can be directly manipulated by photoactivated adenylyl cyclases (PACs) and light-regulated phosphodiesterases (PDEs), respectively. In addition, many biosensors have been designed to spatially and temporarily resolve cAMP dynamics in the cell. This review provides an overview about optogenetic tools and biosensors to shed light on the subcellular organization of cAMP signaling.
