    This research paper entitled “An Analysis of English - Indonesian Translation Me thod Used by Ingrid Dwijani Nimpoeno in Translating Green’s The Fault in Our Stars ” . The objectives of the research are to find out what the translation method mostly used in translating complex sentences and to analyze how the translation result of the most translation method used in translating complex sentences by Ingrid Dwijani Nimpo eno. The writer uses qualitative research method and applied descriptive analysis. The main sources are 63 data or text of complex sentences on the novel entitled The Fault in Our Stars. The result of data analysis showed that the translation mostly used w ere first is communicative translation 31 of 63 data (49,2%), the second is faithful translation 19 of 63 data (30,16%), the third is literal translation 9 of 63 data (14,23%), the fourth is semantic translation 3 of 63 data (4,77%), and the last is word b y word translation 1 of 63 data (1,6%). The conclusion is Ingrid Dwijani Nimpoeno produced the good translation in translating complex sentences, because her translation results are easy to understand, and the messages well delivered. In addition, altho ugh the method mostly used is communicative translation but she still maintained to the source language emphasis . In other side, her translation result is relevant with the classifications of good translation that purposed by some expert. However, the writ er attempted to correct several data which irrelevant, based on the theory. Keywords: Translation Method, Complex Sentenc

    Positivity to p-ANCA in patients with status epilepticus

    BACKGROUND: Status epilepticus (SE) may occur in the setting of several internal or neurologic diseases. Anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are a group of Ig that may be observed in patients with different autoimmune disorders but are particularly associated with systemic vasculitis named ANCA-associated-vasculities (AAV). We herein report 3 patients with SE and positivity to p-ANCA. CASE PRESENTATION: One patient had a catastrophic evolution and died 5 months after disease onset. The other two patients had a good outcome and remained seizure-free at 30 months and 5 years of follow-up respectively. CONCLUSION: This report highlights the importance of considering ANCA dosage in patients with SE of unclear origin

    Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES) and Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), any association?

    Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES) is an uncommon pathology. Often, it affects young athletic males, with symptoms like calf claudication, weakness, numbness, pain, coldness of the foot, cramps, foot drop and paresthesia. The etiology of this syndrome is related to anatomical variations determining an altered relationship between popliteal artery and the surrounding structures. Based on described anatomical variations, PAES has been classified in several types (type I to V). In other cases, the compression of the popliteal artery may be caused by the hypertrophic gastrocnemius muscle, without anatomical variations, defining a “functional popliteal entrapment” (type VI). [1]. The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is the ratio of the systolic blood pressure measured at the ankle to that measured at the brachial artery. It’s a non-invasive measure of peripheral artery disease and can serve as a prognostic marker for cardiovascular events and functional impairment [2]. The ABI score is often pathological in patients affected by PAES. Nevertheless, to define diagnosis and type of PAES are often needed imaging studies and invasive procedures. The aim of the present study is to systematically review the available literature to define if ABI score could be useful to predict a specific type of PAES. Electronic databases have been searched using specific Keywords. Articles have been screened and full-texts of relevant papers have been retrieved. Case reports and case series with indications of symptoms, type of PAES, ABI score have been included. Results about ABI score (dependent variable) have been pooled and compared among types of PAES (independent variable). No statistical significance has been noted (ANOVA: F=1.9, p=0.09). The use of ABI is insufficient to predict the type of PAES and its prognosis. Nevertheless, this non-invasive method could be useful to suspect PAES and as a tool in follow up in these patients

    The development of a supplier performance evaluation tool

    As product life cycles continue to shrink and global competition increases, manufacturers are outsourcing what they consider to be non-strategic activities in order to focus on their core competencies. Consequently these organisations must rely more and more on their external contractors and suppliers to support all non-core activities. Progressive organisations are therefore developing proactive supplier based strategies in order to integrate these suppliers in to their processes and systems. To do this, they must focus on the critical few. In other words, they must identify best performing suppliers and eliminate those that do not add value. This paper presents a case study of a large multinational organisation in its quest to rationalise its supplier base and reduce inventory costs. To do this suitable performance metrics including one appropriate for Just in Time (JIT) suppliers were derived. A computer based measurement tool was then developed to collect the appropriate data and perform the evaluations. This resulted in an impressive 2.9 fold reduction in the numbers of suppliers from 23,225 to 8,024 and a 2.6 fold reduction in the value of inventory held from 15.24milliontojustover15.24 million to just over 5.86 million. Findings from this case analysis are presented.peer-reviewe

    The build-up of a test station facility for the SIS100 superconducting modules

    Abstract. More than eighty quadrupole modules, especially designed and fabricated at JNIR in Dubna, will be used at the FAIR facility in Darmstadt. Prior the installation in the new accelerator SIS 100 tunnel, the modules need to be tested by an independent laboratory. The required test have to be the same for all the modules and the answer will be the benchmark for the final decision on accepting or rejecting the module. With this target in mind, a system with as much as possible automatisms will be realized. Three kinds of tests will be performed: mechanical, thermal and electrical. The mechanical test will concern on the search of vacuum leaks, if present, and on the measurement of the limit pressure reached in the vessel. The thermal test will have to check that the various thermometer, scattered inside the modules, will be correctly working and that the heaters are able to deliver the generated heat. The electrical tests will verify the insulation to ground of both the devices and the superconducting coils and bus-bars. All tests will be done in a thermal sequence: at room temperature, at the cryogenic working temperature of 4.5 K, and finally at room temperature again

    The present research aims to analyze the architectural and cultural relationship between Italy and Turkey, specifically in the naval museum design approach. Very relevant are the node points among the Italian and Turkish culture, thanks to the Italian establishments in Istanbul since middle ages. In particular the Galata district, in Beyoglu, had been completely designed and built by Italians originally from Genova. Turkey, primarily Istanbul, has a long and deeply-rooted naval culture as the presence of the ‗Halic’, wich is the oldest shipyard in the world, and the Besiktas Naval Museum Bozcaada Husnu Pasa dated 1897 confirms. The naval museum had been masterfully re-designed and enlarged in 2013 by the Turkish firm DBArchitects. Going through a close examination, not only of the architectural approach, but even of the museographic issues and decisions, we can feel the design affinities and differences of the two cultures. This essay will discuss a thesis project of the Naval Components Museum of Karakoy held in collaboration between the Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli and the Yildiz Technic University of Istanbul. The thesis, developed with the co-operation of two turkish professors, it’s an interesting experience of comparison between two ways of conceive architecture

    Critical aspects in the measure of the quench propagation velocities on HTS tapes

    Abstract. This paper concerns the investigation of the quench propagation phenomena in High Temperature Superconducting HTS tapes. In particular the determination of the Normal Zone Propagation Velocity NZPV, is based on the measure of the time propagation of the normal zone by reading the rising voltages detected by voltage taps placed at known distances. Several experimental aspects related to the measured times and voltages with their dependencies on temperature have to be considered. In particular, the rise up of the temperature determines a time limit that has to be considered to avoid the damage of the tape. Based on our measures of NZPV and in agreement with the results of a numerical model developed for our experimental environment, it is shown that the time limit of the measures is set by the value of the bias current. The tape length traveled by the normal zone front wave is related to this measure time and depends on the value of the NZPV that have to be measured. Adopting a simplified approach, it is possible to forecast the values of the tape length that may be used for the NZPV measurements and how its value may change as a function of the bias current

    Familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsies: Clinical and genetic features

    No full text
    Familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (FMTLE) was first described as a benign syndrome with prominent psychic and autonomic seizures and no association with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) or febrile seizures (FS). Better definition of the syndrome allowed identification of more heterogeneous phenotypes with mild to severe epileptic disorders, and a variable association with HS and FS. The genetics of these conditions is largely unknown and the hope for the future is that the identification of FMTLE genes will lead to more appropriate approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of TLE
