Context Equivalence

The paper briefly outlines the theoretical concepts underlying scientific and technical translation such as equivalence and context. It emphasizes the importance of contextual knowledge essential for the translation of new terms that emerge in modern academic and technological society. The significance of extensive and comprehensive contextual knowledge is demonstrated by the example of two new concepts brought to light following the Fukushima Daiichi accident. The concepts and challenges associated with their translation are addressed in detail.

Knowledge Validation

Observing new concepts in information technology, we pay attention to its impact on more effective supporting human and organisational knowledge. Knowledge management (KM) is one of such promising and intriguing concepts. Its goals and infrastructures are defined in different ways, therefore interdisciplinary approach seems to be useful. We have presented a short survey of theoretical concepts in management, marketing and decision theory, which were adapted by the theory of KM. On the other hand, knowledge validation (KV), defined as two procedures: verification and evaluation any form of knowledge, is aimed on assuring its quality. The paper discusses the crucial interrelationships between knowledge validation and management. The main goal of this work is positioning KV activities in the context of knowledge management process, emphasising usability of KV techniques during the whole process.

Two new concepts for molecular solids, `local similarity' and `boundary-preserving isometry', are defined mathematically and a theorem which relates these concepts is formulated. `Locally similar' solids possess an identical short-range structure and a `boundary-preserving isometry' is a new mathematical operation on a finite region of a solid that transforms mathematically a given solid to a locally similar one. It is shown further that the existence of such a `boundary-preserving isometry' in a given solid has infinitely many `locally similar' solids as a consequence. Chemical implications, referring to the similarity of X-ray powder patterns and patent registration, are discussed as well. These theoretical concepts, which are first introduced in a schematic manner, are proved to exist in nature by the elucidation of the crystal structure of some diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) derivatives with surprisingly similar powder patterns. Although the available powder patterns were not indexable, the underlying crystals could be elucidated by using the new technique of ab initio prediction of possible polymorphs and a subsequent Rietveld refinement. Further ab initio packing calculations on other molecules reveal that `local crystal similarity' is not restricted to DPP derivatives and should also be exhibited by other molecules such as quinacridones. The `boundary-preserving isometry' is presented as a predictive tool for crystal engineering purposes and attempts to detect it in crystals of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) are reported.

Frequent Criticism

The topic of hybrid regimes has always provoked heated debate. One of the reasons for this has been an often unclear and vaguely defined line between democracy and authoritarianism, which is why many theoretical concepts have come under heavy criticism. As a reaction to this frequent criticism, newer concepts have begun to appear – concepts which stem from a trichotomous classification of political regimes in an attempt to eliminate criticism and ambiguity. These new concepts see hybrid regimes as a stand-alone category of political regimes. The presented text aims at comparing the most well-known conceptions of hybrid regimes of this kind. Specifically, it deals with the conceptions of Mainwaring, Peréz-Liñán and Brinks; Levitsky and Way; Zinecker; Wigell; and Gilbert and Mohseni. On the basis of the comparison that was carried out, it is possible to conclude that in terms of practical use, each of these analyzed conceptions has its strengths and weaknesses. However, as far as contributions to the aforementioned debate are concerned, these concepts suffer from significant problems.

The article examines the transition of modern science to multidisciplinary discourse, which makes it necessary to conceptualize and possibly operationalize methods of psycholinguistics. The conceptualization of new areas in a psycholinguistic context, presupposes a certain mental experience that includes, in addition to the processes of creating new concepts and contextual knowledge, also defining the role of interests, intentions, emotions in human activity.

The 19Th Century

During the last few decades, ideas about household structures in the territories lying east of the Hajnal line have changed considerably. Not only has the line itself been transformed into a fairly wide ‘transitional’ zone and its location on the European map been changed, but the variety of family forms found behind the generalised characteristics of the “Eastern” territories has made scholars re-examine certain theoretical concepts and findings. The new concepts are based on the growing number of micro-studies covering the territories of Central and Eastern Europe and provide very detailed information on family size and structures. For Russia, which has always been considered a model of the Eastern type of household organisation, new data have appeared as well, making it possible to re-examine the theories concerning Russian households. However, scholars more often pay attention to geographic rather than social stratification of household types. The majority of studies are devoted to the social group of peasants, especially of peasant serfs, while household structures in other social groups are less explored. In this article, we seek to fill this gap by providing a comparison of household structures in two social groups, namely of Moscow merchants and of serfs who lived near Moscow in the middle of the 19th century. The household structures in the two groups were entirely different: one in two merchant families was a nuclear one consisting of a couple with or without children, or a single parent with children, while in the peasant population multiple households, including several nuclear families, predominated (60% of the total number of households). The most likely explanation for this is the two groups’ different obligations to the state.

This paper briefly describes the theoretical framework of sensory integrative treatment, as it was originally developed by Ayres, and used with perceptually handicapped children. The results of testing and observations by several authors, which reveal sensory integrative and perceptual disturbances in schizophrenics, are outlined. King's model of personality development and the theoretical concepts underlying the application of sensory integrative treatment to schizophrenics are presented. Lack of empirical evidence and standardized tests are found to be the difficulties in establishing the effectiveness of the use of sensory integration in the treatment of the schizophrenic patient.

Theoretical Paradigms

Taiwanese philosophers are playing a rather prominent role in the context of preserving the Chinese ideational tradition, even though their significance in this context is still widely unknown. The present article is thus focused upon the critical introduction of their work, and its positioning into the context of the political, economic and intellectual conditions of the second half of the 20th century. The role of the Taiwanese philosophy was especially important precisely in the period which begun in 1949 and lasted until the end of the century. In these five decades, the philosophical production on the mainland was mostly dominated by censorship, and the prevailing regulations of the Communist Party’s policies mainly demanded that researchers working in philosophy stayed in the field of the sinization of Marxism, whereby investigating the Chinese intellectual tradition was not so much in favour. The article clearly exposes the reasons for and significance of the preservation of continued research into Chinese ideational history in Taiwan, and points out that without this extraordinarily constructive role of the Taiwanese philosophers, these studies would have suffered immense damage. The author also shows that the work carried out by the Taiwanese philosophers was not merely important in respect of preserving the continuation of Chinese philosophical research, but also because they have at the same time created numerous innovative methodological and theoretical concepts that have fundamentally enriched the recent history of investigating and developing Chinese philosophy. In this regard, the author exposes and critically analyses some of the central philosophical concepts of Mou Zongsan, who is among the most important representatives of modern Taiwanese philosophy.

Mitigate Climate Change

Nuclear power has been considered as a potential energy source to mitigate climate change problems thanks to its carbon-free power and huge supply capacity. Besides, it helps secure a country's energy supply, ultimately ensuring a nation’s sustainability. However, nuclear-energy-related disastrous events, such as the US military’s nuclear bombing of Japanese cities in 1945, and the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disasters, have shown the destructive power of atomic elements. In order to have a comprehensive view of the problem of nuclear energy, its strengths and weaknesses, this paper will summarize the conference report ‘Thorium energy for the world’ and discuss the possibility of science and technology in the promising energy field.
