Critical Interest

This article is a general exploration of translation issues involved in the translation and performance of the art song, arguing that although critical interest in recent years has been growing, the problems involved in these hybrid translation projects involving both text and music present a number of conundrums: primacy of text or music, focus on performability, and age-old arguments about fidelity and/or foreignization vs domestication. Using information from theatre translation and input from singers themselves, the author argues that this particular area of translation studies will work best in the future with a collaborative approach that includes translators, musicologists, and performers working together in order to produce the most “singable” text as possible for the art song in performance.

ABSTRACT From 1992 until 2002, oiled birds, predominantly common murres, were found along the central California coastline during the winter months, but no significant oil slicks were observed. These repeat “mystery” oil spills puzzled investigators for 10 years while several similar cases of bird impacts occurred from November through February to varying degrees each year. In 2001, the same pattern began yet again. The response to oiled wildlife was the most significant to date. Extending over 220 miles of coastline, more than 2000 birds were recovered and transported for care to California's Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) facility. Motivated by this serious threat to wildlife, federal and state investigators utilized the historical data collected in previous cases combined with current technology to solve the mystery. An extensive Oil Spill Source Identification Task Force was formed consisting of 20 federal and state agents working together to get to the source of the problem. Through these current technologies, including oil sample analysis; satellite, aerial, and on-water observations; and hindcasting, the Task Force was able to eliminate alternative possibilities and focus the investigation on the last potential source, a sunken shipwreck. The Task Force sifted through four different databases of sunken vessels indicating over 700 shipwrecks off of the San Francisco coast alone to establish eight ships as potential targets. During the first underwater search planned to visually investigate each of these vessels, oil was located in the surface waters above the SS JACOB LUCKENBACH, a C-3 freighter sunk in 1953, 17 miles southwest of the Golden Gate Bridge. Analyses of oil samples collected from the vessel's tanks confirmed the LUCKENBACH as the source impacting California seabirds. Further research showed that all possible responsible parties have been absolved of any liability regarding the sinking of the LUCKENBACH. After spending over $3 million on the 1997–1998 and 2001–2002 incidents for the wildlife response alone and with no party from which to recover the funds, the spill response community is faced with an enormous financial task for the future: responding to inevitable oil spills off the coasts of the United States from thousands of deteriorating shipwrecks sunk decades ago with, in most cases, no responsible parties.

Working Together

Agile, interconnected and diverse communities of practice can serve as a hedge on an uncertain world. We currently live in an era of populist politics and diminishing government funding, challenging our collective optimism for the future. However, the communities we build and contribute to can be prepared and strengthened to address the challenges ahead. How we choose to operate in this world of less funding is tied to the collective impacts we all believe we can achieve by working together. How we choose to work together and structure our communities matters.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique challenges for the clinical trial community, both in the rapid establishment of COVID-19 clinical trials and many existing non-COVID-19 studies either being temporarily paused (whether that is a complete pause or pause in some activities) and/or adapting their processes. Trial managers have played a key role in decision-making, undertaking risk assessments and adapting trial processes, working closely with other members of the research team. This article presents some of the ways in which trial management processes have been altered and the key role that trial managers have played. It has been born out of discussions between trial managers in the UK who are members of the UK Trial Managers’ Network (UKTMN), a national network of trial management professionals managing non-commercial trials. In these unprecedented times, clinical trials have faced many uncertainties and broad-ranging challenges encompassing a range of activities including prioritising patient safety amidst the pandemic, consenting and recruiting new participants into trials, data collection and management and intervention delivery. In many cases, recruitment has been paused whilst mitigations have been put in place to continue data collection. Innovative solutions have been implemented to ensure we continue, where possible, to deliver high-quality clinical trials. Technology has provided many solutions to these challenges, and trial managers have adapted to new ways of working whilst continuing to deliver their clinical trials. Trial management groups are now faced with new uncertainties around re-starting clinical trials, and it is unclear currently how this will go, though working together with sponsors, funders and site teams is clearly a priority. Clinical trial teams have worked together to ensure their trials have adapted quickly whilst ensuring participant safety is given utmost importance. There are clear examples where the trial community have come together to share experiences and expertise, and this should continue in the future to ensure the innovative practices developed become embedded in the design and conduct of clinical trials in the future.

Actual Relationship

TYPICAL STATEMENTS ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CIVIL servants and ministers include the following which I have come across myselc ‘it is the Civil Service mandarins who really run the country’, ‘a strong minister must frequently reject his department's advice to prove he is master’; ‘all decisions by government are based not on the merits of the case but whether they are likely to attract votes at the next election’. The first of these implies that a minister is powerless in the grip of his department and the last that a minister ignores all departmental advice unless it suits his short-term political objectives. The actual relationship between politician and civil servant cannot be explained in such simple and extreme terms. It is also in most cases a relationship which develops and improves as those concerned get used to working together. This is fortunate because if any of the above statements was entirely true, it would be difficult to have much confidence in the future of our particular democratic system.

Organizational Problems

It is our purpose here to point up some of the organizational problems of collaboration which have not been as explicitly set forth as they might in previous discussions of methodology in interdisciplinary work. We feel this is useful because we believe that in the future many of the major advances in knowledge will be made by intellectually and emotionally congenial people from several disciplines who, working together, will cross ordinary academic boundaries in their search for insight. Each of the authors had worked on a number of interdisciplinary projects before collaborating, as anthropologist and psychiatrist, on several current investigations. The thoughts presented here have been stimulated by discussions arising out of this work.

Medical Teachers

The medical education in Nepal faces many challenges. Medical education, in order to keep up with the times, needs to adapt to the changing attitudes of society. We need a change for better. The curriculum is outdated to the clinical needs, and the students are rarely taught any skills and innovations or creativity to think for the future, and whoever wishes to change the system will be isolated. A serious shortage of talents, subject knowledge, technical skills and communication skills in teachers is affecting the future of medical students. Many medical teachers teach in local language making students poor communicators.Nepal, a developing country in South Asia is in transition had suffered from a decade long violent conflict and the country is in the implementation of its new constitution and suffers from political instability which may contribute several challenges like general shutdowns, frequent bandhs, shortage of electricity, load shedding, voltage fluctuation and problems with internet in conducting MBBS program in a Medical College.At the moment, there is no foreseeable future effort by parents, teachers, educationists, policy makers and politicians to correct this and courageously bring in radical reforms in medical education. These challenges can be overcome by cooperation and working together to create a peaceful and stable climate. Nepal has been going through tremendous changes in the last few years. Medical teachers have a great role to play and stand against many odds.Journal of Gandaki Medical College Vol. 10, No. 1, 2017, Page: 49-56

Process Product

Research on teaching, conducted over many years largely from within the process-product paradigm, has contributed few generalizations either to guide teachers directly, or indirectly through its influence on the content of teacher education programs. Alternative paradigms which recognize as basic the complexity and ambiguity inherent in classroom environments, and the fact that students are active agents in their own learning, appear to show more promise for the future and are likely to be more meaningful and relevant to practising teachers. Research involving practising teachers, teacher-trainees, and educational researchers working together on projects carefully articulated with professional courses is proposed as offering more promise for the future than a continuation of the search for generalizations from research on teaching conducted within the process-product paradigm.
