English-Turkish Literary Translation Through Human-Machine Interaction

This article investigates perceptions of technology-mediated translations of literary texts by two groups: translation students and professional literary translators. The participants post-edited an excerpt from a classic Dickens novel into Turkish using a machine translation (MT) system of their choice. The analysis of the post-edited texts, participants’ answers to survey questions, and interviews with professional translators suggest that MT is currently a long way from being an essential part of any literary translation practice for the English–Turkish language pair. Translators’ interactions with MT and negative attitudes toward it may change in a positive direction as MT improves and translation practice evolves.

The odds of changing lifestyle were more than doubled for those who had discussed information from the internet with a doctor (odds ratio 2.54, confidence interval 1.90–3.40). The odds of lifestyle changes were lower in the age groups 30–39 years and 60 years and over, compared to those aged 18–29 years (the reference group). Lifestyle changes were not associated with gender, education, or self-rated health. Conclusions Our findings indicate that health-care professionals can play an important role in lifestyle changes additional to health-advice found on the internet.

Thermally Stimulated Depolarisation Studies of Methyl Acrylic Acid (MAA) Doped Ethyl Cellulose (EC)

Thermally stimulated depolarisation current (TSDC) of polarised samples of methyl acrylic acid (MAA) doped ethyl cellulose (EC) films of about 25 µm thickness has been recorded as a function of temperature, electric field, heating rates and storage times. Two current maxima in positive direction and found around 60 and 110oC for doped sample with ethyl cellulose. FTIR of doped EC are represented the different phenomena of TSDC. Thermal sampling technique showed that the relaxation is distributed. Differentia thermal analysis gave a second-order transition at bout 345K because of good correlation between both thermal techniques it is concluded that the TSD peak is associated with glass transition of the polymer, and therefore it involves the motion of large parts of the polymer chains.
