Prevođenje dječje književnosti: analiza slikovnica Ivane Barković

The aim of this paper is to discuss children’s literature, poetry, and their translations into English that are suitable for children. The purpose of this thesis was to research and look at, firstly, children’s literature through means of translation and the strategies that can be used and, secondly, rhyming poetry through the possibility of its translations and the difficulty of the process. The results are shown in the case study of Croatian picture books written in prose and verse by Ivana Barković that I translated into the English language. The thesis is structured into six sections. The first section discusses children literature, the second section deals with poetry, the third section covers translating in general, and the last two sections discuss translating in children’s literature and poetry. Different views of these topics are researched thoroughly through various scholars who have experience in the genres, and in the field of translation. Also, the topics of children’s literature and poetry are discussed through various definitions, characteristics, categorizations, and even history, in order to show their differences and similarities. In addition, translating strategies from various scholars for children’s literature as well as poetry are discussed. As an example, a case study is given of my own translations of the picture books with prose and verse by Ivana Barković into English

Due Diligence to Prevent Foreseeable Harm: The International Human Rights Agenda on Civilian Gun Violence

This article explains how firearms regulation became part of the United Nations’s human rights agenda. In 2002, the author of this article was appointed by a U.N. sub-commission to prepare a comprehensive study on the prevention of human rights violations committed with small arms and light weapons. The resulting report, which this article revisits, explained each U.N. member state’s responsibility to prevent its private individuals from using guns to violate others’ human rights. The article further discusses how the U.N. has developed an increased focus on the human rights aspects of gun violence in the decade since the author’s report was published

The Migrant Rights Gap: How Non-State Actors Meet the Unrecognized Economic and Social Rights of Undocumented Immigrants (abstract)

This paper explains how non-state actors, including churches and non-profit organizations, work informally to protect the economic and social rights of undocumented Mexican immigrants. Under international law, economic and social rights should apply equally to non-citizens unless distinctions in their protection are necessary and proportionate to a legitimate State objective. There is no legitimate State objective to deny food, shelter or health care to non-citizens. Despite this, Federal and State governments in the United States take no express responsibility to respect, protect or fulfill the economic and social rights of undocumented migrants. The authors designate this lacuna in state protection as a “migrant rights gap.” The authors focus their study on the State of Minnesota where churches and organizations have worked informally to meet the rights of the Mexican migrant community, which would have been otherwise unrecognized and unrealized by the State. While organizations in this informal network do not choose to explain or explicitly carry out their work through the human rights framework, the services they provide -- often with the implicit approval of the government -- in fact allow the government to comply with its fundamental obligations with regard to the “migrant rights gap,” thereby addressing both the well-being of individual migrants and the society as a whole. The article profiles several organizations in Minnesota which provide services to undocumented Mexican immigrants. The organizations generally offer their services without questioning the immigration status of the people they serve, though their staff people and volunteers are aware that a substantial percentage of the Mexican immigrants who walk in their doors do not have proper immigration status. The organizations are aware of the lack of options for undocumented immigrants and, expressly or implicitly, their services constitute the only path these migrants have to realize their economic and social rights

The use of ELISAs for monitoring exposure of pig herds to Brachyspira hyodysenteriae

Background Swine dysentery (SD), a mucohaemorrhagic diarrhoeal disease of pigs, results from infection of the large intestine with the spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. ELISA systems using whole spirochaete cells (WC) and the B. hyodysenteriae outer membrane lipoprotein Bhlp29.7 previously have been established as potential diagnostic tools for SD. However, their true value in identifying infected herds remains unclear. The present study aimed to compare the performance of whole-cell and Bhlp29.7 based ELISAs in detecting specific immunoglobulin class IgG and IgM to B. hyodysenteriae in growing pigs, and additionally evaluated whether meat juice could serve as a source of specific antibodies. Results Levels of circulating IgG and IgM reacting with WC spirochaete preparations and recombinant Bhlp29.7 peaked 4-6 weeks post-infection in the experimentally challenged pigs, and remained elevated in the present study. In a cohort of pigs on an infected farm levels of antibody directed against both antigens showed a progressive increase with time. However, other than for the level of IgG against WC antigen, a significant increase in antibody levels also was observed in a cohort of pigs on a non-infected farm. In addition, assays using meat juice had 100% specificity and equivalent sensitivity to those based on serum, and likewise the best performance was achieved using the WC IgG ELISA. Conclusions IgG ELISAs using either WC or Bhlp29.7 as plate-coating antigens were shown to be useful for monitoring the dynamics of B. hyodysenteriae infection in grower pigs. Of the two antigens, the WC preparation tended to give better discrimination between pigs from infected and non-infected farms. Testing of meat juice was shown to have potential for identifying infected herds

The Hunger Games is a novel written by Suzanne Collins and published in 2008. The novel belongs to a trilogy with the same name The Hunger Games and due to its sudden popularity, based on the unusual setting, the names of the characters, the horrific theme and the frightening metaphorical similarity to today’s entertainment, all three novels have been adapted into movies in the past 5 years. This paper will focus on the unusual dystopian world of Panem by exploring some of twelve Districts and their civilians who either live a hard and frightening life or a rich and relatively comforting life. It will also examine the history and the stream of events that have led to the annual Hunger Games where they pick children to fight to death to entertain viewers. This paper will also analyze where the idea for the novel came from and compare the similarities and differences between the novel and Roman mythology
