Wide Gap

This chapter introduces ‘the problem’ of meaningless research in the social sciences. Over the past twenty years there has been an enormous growth in research publications, but never before in the history of humanity have so many social scientists written so much to so little effect. Academic research in the social sciences is often inward looking, addressed to small tribes of fellow researchers, and its purpose in what is increasingly a game is that of getting published in a prestigious journal. A wide gap has emerged between the esoteric concerns of social science researchers and the pressing issues facing today’s societies. The chapter critiques the inaccessibility of the language used by academic researchers, and the formulaic qualities of most research papers, fostered by the demands of the publishing game. It calls for a radical move from research for the sake of publishing to research that has something meaningful to say.

Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) is one of the oldest surgical corporations (professional oragization) in the world and traces its origins to 1505 [1]. The ad hominem fellow distinction is the most prestigious designation a surgeon can receive from the college. Of the more than 10,000 U.S. surgeons in his specialty, Rui P. Fernandes, MD, DMD, is just the third to be inducted as one (Fig 1) [2]. Consulting Editor of the highly prestigious Journal Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America. Textbooks: Local & Regional Flaps in Head & Neck Reconstruction: A Practical Approach (Fernandes) – published in 2014; Oral, Head & Neck Oncology & Reconstructive Surgery (Bell, Fernandes, Andersen) – published in 2017. Co-author in the cutting-edge articles: Outcomes of total or near-total lip reconstruction with microvascular tissue transfer; Margin analysis: sarcoma of the head and neck; The cervicofacial flap in cheek reconstruction: a guide for flap design; Alternative approach in mandibular reconstruction for benign disease [3-6]. The list goes on. He don’t stop to relax. He continue to do that again, and again, and again... To move a surgery forward.

The Catholic Church

This article is a reasoned response to the article by Timothy F. Murphy, recently published in the prestigious journal Bioethics, on the supposed opposition between the views of the Catholic Church and what he calls “contemporary science” in relation to certain anthropological issues linked to the gender perspective. To point to “the Vatican” as anchored in an unscientific and anachronistic position, using the term contemporary science to which he attributes a unanimous representation of current scientific thinking on the subject is, in our view, unfounded and completely unacceptable. In his reflection, he does not adequately distinguish between intersex and transgenderism, two clearly different realities with different needs. The author defends the obsolescence of the binary sex/gender model that, in his view, “betrays human sexuality.” Furthermore, he does so without providing a plausible justification or a definition of human nature that is able to support the plurality and indeterminacy of sexual conditions, without falling back on untenable dualisms or relativism devoid of scientific objectivity. In our response, we highlight how the dialogue between Faith and Reason, as developed in the recent Magisterium of the Catholic Church, is essential to explain nature, the human being and, in general, all creations. Finally, contemporary science does not provide a monolithic and unquestionable view of the nature of human beings and their sexual identity, as the author claims, with many scientists confirming evidence of a binary human sexuality genetically and phenotypically determined. Summary This paper is a reasoned response to the supposed opposition between the views of the Catholic Church and “contemporary science” in relation to certain anthropological issues linked to the gender perspective.The dialogue between Faith and Reason, as developed in the recent Magisterium of the Catholic Church, is essential to explain nature, the human being and, in general, all creation, against the opinion of those who defend the obsolescence of the binary sex/gender model that, in their view, “betrays human sexuality”.

I appreciate the willingness of the editor of Pediatrics to print this response to Sampson and London's five-page critique1 of the Nicaragua diarrhea study by Jacobs et al. Unfortunately, Jacobs et al 2 were not offered space to respond in the same issue, and the authors were not identified as members of an organization with a mission to debunk complimentary medicine. The publication of their article in a prestigious journal appears a deliberate attempt to discredit the evidence available to defend homeopathy in a lawsuit in which one author is a plaintiff.

As the JRME reaches its 25th year as the research journal of the American community of mathematics educators, clearly its reach has become much broader and extends into the international realm of mathematics education. As the most prestigious journal in the field, the JRME undoubtedly influences research in mathematics education all over the world. It sets styles, priorities, and, above all, standards. In all three of these areas there are resentments, reactions, and dissent. We hope in this paper to discuss these and related issues from an international perspective.

This Special Issue follows from a previous Issue entitled “Mechanism-Based Development of Natural Products for Human Health” arising from an inaugural conference on Natural Products Development held at Whistler Mountain, Canada from September 21-22, 2012. The timeliness of this issue reflects the continued growth in Natural Product research and the success of the First Issue, as judged from feedback we received and citations received. We were also encouraged by the interest in natural products research in recent years, as exemplified by the recent publication on Traditional Medicine in the prestigious journal Science (1, 2).

With the Skopos Theory as the theoretical foundation, this study aims at analyzing the specialized translation of electrical engineering texts from the professionals' perspective. To do this, we first conducted a questionnaire survey to collect the information on the professionals' needs and requirements on the translation of English texts in the realm of electrical engineering. Then, we selected an English academic paper published in a prestigious journal in this field and conducted a semi-structured interview on the Chinese translation of this paper with three professionals in this field. Based on the results of both questionnaire and interview, we analyzed the translation of electrical engineering texts from English to Chinese at lexical, syntactic and textual levels with the guidance of Skopos Theory. It is found from the questionnaire survey that electrical engineering professionals in China do have a need for translation of English texts in this field, and they emphasize the accuracy of terms and information integrity of the target text. From the interview, we also find that Skopos Theory has a strong guiding effect on the specialized translation of electrical engineering texts. Under the guidance of this theory, translators can adopt various translation strategies to enhance their translation output and optimize its communicative effect.
