    La qualitat en traducció és un dels temes clau actualment a la indústria de la traducció. El 2011 la Translation Automation User Society (TAUS) va desenvolupar el Dynamic Quality Framework (DQF) en un intent de normalitzar l'avaluació de la qualitat en traducció. DQF concep la qualitat de manera dinàmica, ja que actualment els requisits de qualitat en traducció canvien en funció del tipus de contingut, la seva intenció i el seu destinatari. DQF conté una àmplia base de coneixement, recursos sobre avaluació de qualitat i un gran nombre d'eines que permet perfilar i avaluar el contingut d'una traducció.

    Industry–Academia Research Collaboration and Knowledge Co-creation: Patterns and Anti-patterns

    Get PDF
    Increasing the impact of software engineering research in the software industry and the society at large has long been a concern of high priority for the software engineering community. The problem of two cultures, research conducted in a vacuum (disconnected from the real world), or misaligned time horizons are just some of the many complex challenges standing in the way of successful industry–academia collaborations. This article reports on the experience of research collaboration and knowledge co-creation between industry and academia in software engineering as a way to bridge the research–practice collaboration gap. Our experience spans 14 years of collaboration between researchers in software engineering and the European and Norwegian software and IT industry. Using the participant observation and interview methods, we have collected and afterwards analyzed an extensive record of qualitative data. Drawing upon the findings made and the experience gained, we provide a set of 14 patterns and 14 anti-patterns for industry–academia collaborations, aimed to support other researchers and practitioners in establishing and running research collaboration projects in software engineering.publishedVersio

    Women in ICT : guidelines for evaluating intervention programmes

    Get PDF
    Many intervention programmes to increase the number of women in theInformation and Communications Technology (ICT) profession have been implemented over the last twenty years. Detailed evaluations help us to determine the effectiveness of these programmes yet few comprehensive evaluations appear in the literature.The research reported here describes an investigation of the evaluation of the intervention programmes focusing on increasing the enrolment and retention of females in ICT in Australia. This paper describes an empirical study which explores how evaluation has been and might be conducted and concludes with guidelines for evaluation for those developing programmes for increasing the participation of women in ICT.The guidelines encourage evaluation to be considered early, highlight the importance of establishing objective outcomes and promote the publication of results to build knowledge for those planning programmes in the future. Further, the developed guidelines could adapted and used with other ICT intervention programs.<br /

    The downside of digital inclusion: expectations and experiences of privacy and surveillance among marginal internet users

    Get PDF
    Increasing broadband adoption among members of underserved populations remains a high priority among policymakers, advocates, corporations, and affected communities. But questions about the risks entailed in the flow of personal information are beginning to surface and shine light on the tension between broadband’s benefits and harms. This article examines broadband adoption programs at community-based and public institutions in the United States in order to understand the ways in which privacy and surveillance issues emerge and are engaged in these settings. While adults who enroll in introductory digital literacy classes and access the Internet at public terminals feel optimistic about broadband “opportunities,” they encounter “privacy poor, surveillance rich” broadband. Users experience myriad anxieties, while having few meaningful options to meet their concerns

    Innovating transcriptomics for practitioners in freshwater fish management and conservation: best practices across diverse resource-sector users

    Get PDF
    Thriving freshwater fish populations contribute to people’s economic prosperity and wellbeing. Yet, freshwater fish populations are in critical condition around the globe. Most stressors to freshwater fishes, fisheries, and culture stem from habitat impacts, water-quality issues, and aquatic invasive species. Logistical difficulties of monitoring fish health are compounded by the limitations of conventional (capture-based) sampling methods, which provide only a temporal “snapshot” and generate data lacking in sensitivity and prognostic ability. Here, we propose an innovative genomics approach to develop a health toolkit that will allow resource-sector users to determine the health status of freshwater fishes, including their coping capacity, to environmental stressors. The stress-response transcription profile (STP)-chip is a suite of quantitative gene transcription assays that represents key gene pathways broadly associated with fish functional responses to environmental stress; therefore, the differential expression of well-selected genes can provide sensitive fish-health status indicators. Despite the scientific achievement of using genomics tools, actualizing the toolkit in practice is only successful if resource-sector users have full buy-in. We present seven case studies representing different practitioners and resource users – Indigenous rightsholders, environmental consultants (industry), commercial aquaculture, environmental charities (ENGO), and fishery commissions and managers (government) where each explores the benefits and risks associated with the adoption of a genomics fish-health toolkit. Using a co-production approach, wherein practitioners and resource users are engaged from the outset, these case studies reveal translational pathways that would be needed to overcome barriers to technological adoption and, hence, accelerate the responsible uptake of genomics-based applications in fisheries assessment, management, and conservation

    학위논문(석사) -- 서울대학교대학원 : 행정대학원 글로벌행정전공, 2023. 2. KO, Kilkon.Information and communication technologies can grant substantial benefits for those who are capable of operating in a digital environment. Those standing on the other side of the divide put themselves into the underprivileged category of society. In an environment where digitalization progress at a rapid pace in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the prima facie for the urban-rural digital divide is generally recognized, but the elaborate details of the divide patterns have not been researched or reported to the public so far. In this thesis, the researcher delves into data in an attempt to identify the extent of the digital divide in the Republic of Azerbaijan and detect the most vulnerable categories of society regarding the digitalization process. Based on the specific data for this purpose, the study demonstrates the inferences of digital exclusion in public service rendering in the regions, and territories outside the capital city of the subject country. The thesis has produced findings based on the statistical analysis results mainly carried out via multiple regression analysis including several categories of the subject countrys society. Examples of the current Azerbaijani policymaking have been reviewed in the study and policy recommendations have been made in order to increase digital connectivity. The thesis may be considered applicable to the case of other post-Soviet and peer countries. Vis-à-vis the digitalization process, future digital protection policies are called upon in every country considering the trend that privileged segments get more and more digitalized while leaving the underprivileged in a broader gap.

Rəqəmsal bölgünün əks tərəfində dayanan fərdlər isə özlərini cəmiyyətin imtiyazsızlar kateqoriyasına məhkum etmiş olur. Azərbaycan Respublikasında rəqəmsallaşmanın tam sürətlə davam etdiyi bir mühitdə urban-rural əsaslı rəqəmsal bölgü prima fasi olaraq tanınsa da bölgü trendlərinin detalları əsaslı şəkildə araşdırılmayıb və bu barədə ictimaiyyətə açıqlamalar edilməyib. Bu tezisdə araşdırmaçı Azərbaycan Respublikasındakı rəqəmsal bölgünün təsir etdiyi sahələri tapmaq üçün datalara nəzər yetirir və cəmiyyətdə rəqəmsallaşma prosesinin ən çox təsir etdiyi kateqoriyaları aydınlaşdırmağa çalışır. Bu məqsəd üçün toplanmış spesifik datanın əsasında, araşdırma söhbət gedən ölkənin paytaxtından kənar bölgələrdə dövlət xidmətlərinin göstərilməsi zamanı yaranan rəqəmsal istisna olmuş fərdlər üzrə inferensiyalar təqdim edir. Söhbət gedən ölkə cəmiyyətinin bir neçə kateqoriyasını əhatə edən çoxsaylı reqressiya təhlilli statistik analiz nəticələri tezisin araşdırma sualını tapmağı ilə sonlanmışdır. Hazırki Azərbaycan qərarvermə mexanizmlərinin nümunələri nəzərdən keçirilmiş və rəqəmsal bağları artırmaq üçün siyasi tövsiyələr təqdim edilmişdir. Bu tezis keçmiş Sovet ölkələri və oxşar ölkələrin vəziyyətləri üçün də istifadə edilə bilər. Tezisdə rəqəmsallaşma prosesi ilə başbaşa, gələcək rəqəmsal müdafiə qanunlarının hazırlanması üçün çağırışlar edilir. Əks halda imtiyazlı seqmentin daha sürətlə rəqəmsallaşması, rəqəmsal bölgünün digər tərəfində qalan əhalinin isə daha da böyük bölgü arasında qalması trendlərdə müşahidə edilir.

    Caveats in Eliciting Mobile App Requirements

    Full text link
    Factors such as app stores or platform choices heavily affect functional and non-functional mobile app requirements. We surveyed 45 companies and interviewed ten experts to explore how factors that impact mobile app requirements are understood by requirements engineers in the mobile app industry. We observed a lack of knowledge in several areas. For instance, we observed that all practitioners were aware of data privacy concerns, however, they did not know that certain third-party libraries, usage aggregators, or advertising libraries also occasionally leak sensitive user data. Similarly, certain functional requirements may not be implementable in the absence of a third-party library that is either banned from an app store for policy violations or lacks features, for instance, missing desired features in ARKit library for iOS made practitioners turn to Android. We conclude that requirements engineers should have adequate technical experience with mobile app development as well as sufficient knowledge in areas such as privacy, security and law, in order to make informed decisions during requirements elicitation.Comment: The 24th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE 2020
