Abstract The article offers a practical approach to the skills a present-day translator needs in order to create high-quality translations. Although a lot of theories can be found regarding the skills of a translator, it is worth checking the reality, which is the primary aim of this article. After a short introduction about the standard skills, we look into the subtitling of an episode from a TV series. Our presupposition is that a subtitler has to combine all sorts of information from different fields effectively in order to maintain quality, including general and specific knowledge of the subject matter. Furthermore, the particular environment of subtitling may contain certain pitfalls, such as the technical know-how. layout, and constraints deriving from the nature of subtitling. We can draw the conclusion that a well-prepared translator can successfully handle the technical challenges of multimedia translation of whatsoever type.

Black Life

The African American actor, writer, and director Spencer Williams, Jr. (1895–1969) has been the subject of a range of academic studies in recent years. Scholars have explored his pioneering work in early black film and his problematic role as “Andy Hogg Brown” in the television version of the Amos 'n' Andy radio program as a means of interpreting representations of black life within the confines of the Hollywood culture industry. This new scholarship, however, has reflected a limited and often inaccurate understanding of Williams' remarkable career. As will be discussed in this article, major events in Williams' life that have been unknown until now strongly influenced his filmmaking and his strategies to make the movie and television industries more racially inclusive. Most significantly, Williams was at different times a soldier in a segregated army unit, a convicted felon, and a committed artist and activist in Hollywood. These experiences helped to shape the themes and subject matter of his films, which ranged from religious dramas and singing cowboy westerns to backstage musicals and the first African American horror movie ever made.

Do So

Science documentaries on television aim to provide easy and entertaining access to research findings. To do so, producers need to know how to explain complex content for non-expert audiences in a comprehensible way. At the same time, they have to decide what aspects of a subject might be relevant for viewers, or how the subject matter could be rendered more interesting by employing strategies such as personalisation or emotionalisation. One specific decision concerns the use of terms. Both existing research and journalistic handbooks suggest that terms should be or are, in fact, avoided in popular science contexts. However, there is only little empirical research on the topic. This contribution seeks to test several pre-existing hypotheses on terms in documentaries for adults and show how often terms are used and whether/how they are explained when they appear. Examining terms in four English and four German science documentaries, the analysis points out which communicative resources are used to facilitate the comprehension of terms, and where an explanation seems to focus primarily on entertainment rather than ease of comprehension. The results challenge some of the previous views on terms in popular science communication and reveal that documentaries display highly idiosyncratic strategies when it comes to the use of terms.

Greek Pottery

Admiration for the quality and appearance of Greek pottery, and interest in the subject matter of the figured scenes, have until recently tended to draw attention away from other aspects of the study. In reaction to what is seen as an overemphasis on attribution, both of painters and of potters, one approach which has been adopted is to consider the organization of the shops which produced the pottery, to see the pottery in its sociological context. Talk of ‘pupils’, ‘masters’, ‘influence’ etc. presupposes that we know the arrangements under which the potters and painters worked, but hard facts are few.There is evidence from excavated kilns, but the workshops which lay nearby and their spatial organization are less well known. The Potters’ Quarter at Corinth gives a better idea than other sites of this aspect, but there are no kilns there, and we do not know how typical the Potters’ Quarter was - there were other areas of production at Corinth.

Mining Projects

Much has been written about mining projects and the contestation of these project development in the literature. The different perspectives that are employed to analyze this issue to some extent are enriching the academic debates but at the same time also increases the difficulty of understanding the problem. As a result, navigating the overall academic discussion in the subject matter is not an easy task. Instead of outlining the overall landscape of mining contestation in the literature, choosing a particular approach and being consistent with this choice is a strategic decision that may result in a high-quality academic work. Following this recipe, Ardianto chose the constructivist approach by employing Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis to understand the mining project contestation in Rembang, Central Java, Indonesia. This paper aims to review a book by Ardianto, entitled "Mitos Tambang untuk Kesejahteraan: Pertarungan Wacana Kesejahteraan dalam Kebijakan Pertambangan" (The Myth of Mining for Welfare: The Welfare Discourses Struggle in Mining Policy).

Statistical knowledge for teaching is not precisely equivalent to statistics subject matter knowledge. Teachers must know how to make statistics understandable to others as well as understand the subject matter themselves. This dual demand on teachers calls for the development of viable teacher education models. This paper offers one such model, which relies upon engaging teachers in design-based research. Teachers collaborate with a researcher to design, implement, and analyze instruction to pursue desired statistical learning outcomes for students. The researcher allows teachers enough autonomy to make and learn from mistakes during the process. Unpacking and addressing the mistakes has value as a means of teacher learning. The model and a specific instance of its implementation are described along with reflections on how productive mistakes during design-based research provide opportunities for fostering the development of statistical knowledge for teaching.

Geographical Element

There are still many students who do not know how to determine the climate of a country based on its astronomical location. For this reason, the author tries to try to overcome this problem by conducting a Classroom Action research at Muaro Jambi State Middle 8 where the author is on duty. As for the formulation of the problem is whether using globe picture media can improve the ability of class IX B students of Muaro Jambi Middle School 8 in determining the sun's climate in learning geographical elements in the Southeast Asian region? This study aims to improve the ability of class IX B students of Muaro Jambi Middle School 8 in determining the climate of the sun's climate. This research was conducted in three cycles. Each cycle, students are taught how to determine the climate using a globe. The subject matter set for research is the geographical element in the Southeast Asia region. Before doing research, students' ability to determine climate based on their astronomical location obtained 80.77% of students unable to determine the climate. After doing the research, in the first cycle, which was held in two meetings, 61.54% of students were able to determine the climate. Then in the second cycle, the results of 76.92% of students were able to determine the climate and in the third cycle the results were 88.46% of students able to determine the climate of a country. There was a significant increase in students' abilities. Thus the use of globe image media can be used as an alternative to overcome students' difficulties in determining the climate.

When cogitating developments in education, it is important from time-to-time to stand back from the main-stream of developments and try to re-capture ‘the big picture’. Such a time now exists in relation to teacher education. This paper is a response to this situation. It makes the case for three principles which, it is held, should guide the design and development of programmes on how classroom practitioners at the pre-service and on-going teacher-development levels, should be prepared for, and guided in, their work. These are as follows: teachers should have a very good command of the subject matter of their teaching areas; teachers should know how to teach; teachers, along with students of education studies and policy makers, should engage in reflection not only on work at the classroom level, but also on education more broadly.

The article examines the functioning of the judicial procedure for establishing the facts of birth and death on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine in terms of its regulation and effectiveness. The authors analyze the procedural nature of the separate proceeding according to national legislation of Ukraine in comparison with legal framework of several foreign states. As a result, it has been stated that the establishment of the above-mentioned legal facts is not the only Ukrainian know-how. Specific attention has been paid to the issues of juridical technique regarding the determination of participants that can submit an application in order to set a fact of birth or death of a person. In particular, it has been found that Ukrainian legislator does not circumscribe such categories as "persons who can hand in an application" and "applicants". It has been delineated that lodging an application by the applicant's attorney does not substitute the presence of the independent legal interest, which is necessary to become applicant. In addition, the article explores the process of proving. It has been concluded that the burden of proof rests on the applicant. However, the court is obliged to be an active participant of the proving in order to establish the circumstances of the case, namely: to request evidence, order to carry out expertise etc. The subject-matter of the cases concerning the establishment of facts of birth or death of a person on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine comprises, inter alia, the circumstances regarding time and place of birth (death), familial relationships between the applicant and the person who was born (died). Finally, the article examines the enforcement of the "Namibian exception" in the context of the evaluation of the evidence.
