AbstractAfter a brief description of the state of the art, this paper presents new methods of process-oriented translation training. The different instruments used in class, such as questionnaires and other tools, the learning outcome of these methods and the improvement of proficiency achieved by these means, constitute the core of the paper. The third and final part deals with the preliminary results of an interdisciplinary research project with the Department of Neurology of the University Hospital of Geneva, and the prospects for applying this type of research to translation training.

Herein, we present a patient diagnosed with dizziness due to a core vestibular projection injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). A 51-year-old female patient underwent conservative management for a spontaneous ICH in the left hemisphere (mainly affecting the basal ganglia and insular cortex). When she visited the rehabilitation department of the university hospital at two years after the ICH onset, she advised of the presence of moderate dizziness (mainly, light-headedness) that started after ICH onset. She mentioned that her dizziness had decreased slightly over time. No abnormality was observed in the vestibular system of either ear on physical examination by an otorhinolaryngologist. However, diffusion tensor tractography results showed that the core vestibular projection in the left hemisphere was discontinued at the basal ganglia level compared with the patient’s right core vestibular projection and that of a normal subject. Therefore, it appears that the dizziness in this patient can be ascribed to a left core vestibular projection injury.

Given the high importance of attendance for university students, upon which the possibility of keeping or losing their places in the course is based, it is essential to replace the inefficient manual method of attendance recording with a more efficient one.  To handle this problem, technology must be introduced into this process. This paper aims to propose an automatic attendance system based on passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), fog, and cloud computing technologies (AASCF). The system has three sides. The first one, which is the Client-side; works on collecting the attendance data then sending a copy from it. The second side, which is the Server-side, works on calculating an absence ratio of all the students during the course. The third side is the Fog-server. Data sent by the client-side reaches to the Fog-server which, in turn, sends data to the cloud at the end of the of working time at the university. This paper also reviews the state-of-the-art automatic attendance systems and shows the merits and demerits for each approach by providing a checklist comparison. Unlike the previous works, the proposed system protects data from wasting and ensures its arrival to the cloud even  in cases of connection losing or device crashing, which is the contribution of this paper.

This article conveys the objectives and results of an international and multidisciplinary − or interdisciplinary − research project still in operation, until the end of 2018. Based in the University of Cádiz (Spain), this project deals with ancient, modern and contemporary discussions, representations and narratives of Democracy, focusing on the contrast and comparison between a democratic system based on sortition, namely − broadly speaking − selection by lot to public offices and representative democracy. The article discusses the relevance of the investigation, the applicability of the results and the real effects of the actionresearch part. It also argues that − paradoxically − scientific autonomy is indispensable if that kind of research seeks to achieve tangible impact in society and its political fields. In short, this article asks about the inevitable fragility of the interaction between ethics, political commitment, and investigative objectiveness in humanities and social sciences.

AbstractAnswer Set Programming (ASP) is a well-established paradigm of declarative programming in close relationship with other declarative formalisms such as SAT Modulo Theories, Constraint Handling Rules, FO(.), PDDL and many others. Since its first informal editions, ASP systems have been compared in the now well-established ASP Competition. The Third (Open) ASP Competition, as the sequel to the ASP Competitions Series held at the University of Potsdam in Germany (2006–2007) and at the University of Leuven in Belgium in 2009, took place at the University of Calabria (Italy) in the first half of 2011. Participants competed on a pre-selected collection of benchmark problems, taken from a variety of domains as well as real world applications. The Competition ran on two tracks: the Model and Solve (M&S) Track, based on an open problem encoding, and open language, and open to any kind of system based on a declarative specification paradigm; and the System Track, run on the basis of fixed, public problem encodings, written in a standard ASP language. This paper discusses the format of the competition and the rationale behind it, then reports the results for both tracks. Comparison with the second ASP competition and state-of-the-art solutions for some of the benchmark domains is eventually discussed.

The article presents an overview of econophysics, its main issues, history and possible paths of future development. Descriptions of the subject, problems and methodology are provided. The questions are raised such as what the contribution of the new discipline to the core issues in economics is and whether the new methods and approaches could be applied in physics. The role of the interdisciplinary research which tends to become the main engine of development in econophysics is discussed in detail.

In the last decades, the discourse about universities and their engagement with actors in their host regions has increased. Concepts such as the third mission and the entrepreneurial university aim to describe the engagement between the university and regional actors as a change in the role of the university. In theory, this is described as a transformation of the university. In practice, this is organised as an add-on of a range of different knowledge-transfer and market-oriented activities, which do not interfere with the core activities of teaching and research. These normative concepts have a significant influence on how universities are developing their regional engagement. In a case study from a university in Norway, University of Agder, the study shows a university that gradually is transforming from an ivory tower model towards more regional engagement. However, the transformation is taking time. At present, the university has a dual strategy for its regional engagement. One part is organised as an add-on activity, while the other is organised within the academic core of teaching. In the latter, students are co-creating knowledge together with regional actors. The study demonstrates that it is possible to organise regional engagement as co-creation of knowledge also within the academic core.

Purpose This paper aims to study knowledge integration mechanisms in an interdisciplinary research project. It develops the theoretical literature on the concept of knowledge integration, particularly the adoption of different organizational mechanisms. The research helps to explain how to adopt different integration mechanisms in the various steps of a typical university industry research project. Design/methodology/approach This research relies on a case study. The authors used three data collection techniques: internal document analysis, observation/site visits and semi-structured interviews. Documentary analysis was used to understand the organizational structure and to identify knowledge integration issues. Observation and site visits at university research laboratories were used to increase understanding on particular issues. Staff interviewed included managers and academic researchers. Findings Findings are primarily related to a better understanding of choices of knowledge integration mechanisms in a university industry research project. A crucial aspect was the level of mutual understanding of specialist knowledge. When project members were derived from different sides of the university-industry border, there was a major need for recurring to more structured knowledge integration mechanisms, even if the scientific background of participants was homogeneous. Originality/value Previous studies on the relationships between university and industry deals with the issue of governing the knowledge exchange on the border at a macro level; conversely, an interesting research gap is represented by knowledge integration mechanisms to be deployed on the university-industry border, especially at micro level. In this paper, the authors do not cope explicitly with university-industry coordination mechanisms but use the University-Industry border to study knowledge integration in interdisciplinary setting. The study is exploratory, which may be useful in generating future research hypotheses, connecting the features of research projects with the need to achieve knowledge integration.

The third coronavirus outbreak (SARS-CoV-2) after SARS-COV in 2003 in China and MERSCOV in 2012 in the Middle East, which occurred in December 2019 in China, spread rapidly to all countries of the world bringing the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic on March 11, 2020. This condition, in addition to its low lethality in young people, remains a psychosis for the general population. Current data on COVID-19 and pregnancy have evolved significantly, so the outcome of Covid-19 pregnancies is unpredictable and varies from woman to woman. Through the first 7 observed cases of COVID-19 during pregnancy for 2170 births at the Teaching Hospital of Angre during 1 year, from April 2020 to March 2021, the authors wanted to expose the outcome of these pregnancies. The management was carried out in collaboration with the Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (DITD), we observed: 1 spontaneous abortion, 2 low-birth by induction, 2 cesarean sections, 2 gestants died in a context of acute respiratory distress (1 during pregnancy and the other postpartum)
