La formación de futuros profesionales del derecho para trabajar coN traductores e intérpretes: un estudio cualitativo

Students of Law are well advised to gain an understanding of legal English for their legal career. Importantly, teaching units in legal English can also contribute to an awareness of the complex interface between translators and interpreters and the legal system. In this investigation, the potential of teaching activities to educate future lawyers in the intricacies of these professions is unlocked. An initial questionnaire with open-ended questions was administered to students studying for the Master’s Degree in Law and Legal Practice at the University of Burgos, Spain. The questionnaire explored knowledge of the profession of legal and sworn translators and interpreters. The results revealed low levels of familiarization with the translation profession among students and they did not even know about the regulations that govern their work. Different classroom activities were conducted to educate and inform future lawyers about the tasks and roles of these language professionals. By the end of the course, a qualitative change in students’ perceptions of the work of legal and sworn translators and interpreters was evident. The introduction of foreign language courses and comparative law in legal training with specific activities focused on legal and sworn translation and interpreting can therefore be of immense assistance in crystallizing an awareness of the role of specialized linguists in the legal profession.A los estudiantes de Derecho se les aconseja adquirir conocimientos en inglés jurídico para desarrollar su carrera profesional en este campo. En este sentido, la enseñanza del inglés jurídico puede contribuir a generar concienciación sobre la compleja interfaz que existe entre los traductores e intérpretes y el sistema jurídico. El objetivo de este estudio es demostrar cómo una asignatura de inglés jurídico puede contribuir a concienciar a futuros profesionales del Derecho sobre la labor del traductor e intérprete en estos ámbitos. Para ello, realizamos un cuestionario inicial con preguntas abiertas a estudiantes del Máster en Acceso a la Abogacía de la Universidad de Burgos (España) sobre el grado de conocimiento que tenían sobre la profesión del traductor e intérprete jurídico y jurado. Las respuestas demostraron un nivel de familiarización con la profesión muy bajo e incluso un desconocimiento de la normativa que rige el trabajo de los mismos. Durante el desarrollo de las clases se realizaron diversas actividades con el objetivo de enseñar e informar a los futuros profesionales del Derecho sobre las tareas asociadas a la profesión del traductor e intérprete. Tras la finalización de las clases pudimos comprobar un cambio cualitativo en la percepción del traductor e intérprete jurado y jurídico por parte de los estudiantes. Apostamos por lo tanto por la introducción de asignaturas de idiomas y derecho comparado en la formación de juristas con actividades específicas sobre la traducción e interpretación jurídica y jurada que ayuden a crear conciencia sobre la labor de los lingüistas especializados en este ámbito

Vocal piano accompaniment: A constant research towards emancipation (2)

This is the second and last article in the series dedicated to the investigation of the evolution of vocal piano accompaniment through history and the role-played by the piano in its relationship with the voice. If the previous chapter focused from the beginnings of piano accompaniment to Franz Schubert, this one will take up again the analysis of the piano part from the last lieder of Franz Schubert to Arnold Schoenberg. The research method used continues to be based on the musical analysis of the piano part, addressing both issues of the piano itself and its link with the text and the vocal part. By means of musical examples of different composers, the article investigates all those aspects that provide evidence of the change in the role of the piano in the correspondence of the piano with the voice and its repercussion on the final result of the work. In this way, we will look at the history of piano accompaniment for voice and see how the influence of Schubert's conception of vocal piano accompaniment materializes in contemporary and later composers, as well as the crucial change in the history of the piano as an accompanying instrument introduced by Schubert. The results and conclusions drawn from the evolution presented in these two articles are presented at the end of the article, based on the different aspects involved in the musical event, such as rhythm, harmony or texture

Los estados adultos de Nanomis y Spiritiops (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae)

The adult stages of Nanomis Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty and Spiritiops Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty are described for the first time based on reared material from Argentina and Brazil, respectively. They can be differentiated from the other adults of Baetidae by the following characters: Nanomis, hind wings with three longitudinal veins, second vein bifurcate; costal projection of the hind wings pointed, placed in the basal third of anterior margin; and forceps three-segmented, third segment rounded. Spiritiops, fore wings with paired and long marginal intercalary veins; hind wings with three complete longitudinal veins, and an incomplete small longitudinal vein; costal projection of hind wings pointed, broad at base and placed in the basal third of anterior margin; forceps three-segmented, second segment constricted and third segment elongate and narrowed.Los estados adultos de Nanomis Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty y Spiritiops Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty se describen por primera vez sobre la base de material criado de Argentina y Brasil respectivamente. Se distinguen de los restantes adultos de Baetidae por la siguiente combinación de caracteres: Nanomis, alas posteriores con tres venas longitudinales, la segunda bifurcada; proyección costal de las alas posteriores aguda, ubicada basalmente en el margen anterior del ala; fórceps trisegmentados, tercer segmento redondeado. Spiritiops, alas anteriores con venas marginales intercalares pares; alas posteriores con 3 venas longitudinales completas y una vena longitudinal corta e incompleta; proyección costal de las alas posteriores aguda apicalmente y con base ancha, ubicada en el tercio basal del margen anterior; fórceps trisegmentados, segundo segmento con una constricción y tercer segmento alargado y angosto.Fil: Salles, Frederico Falcão.

Las perplejidades del lector contemporáneo: semiotizar, interpretar, desconstruir

Quizás la primera disposición que conviene adoptar para apaciguar una inquietud es la de compartirla con otros. Una dificultad prueba, al ser compartida, su carácter racionalizable y anuncia así su posible resolución. Mi pretensión aquí es justamente la de mostrar hasta qué punto las perplejidades y dudas que se suscitan hoy en la lectura filosófica de textos son generalizables, porque son comunes, a toda lectura: literaria, lingüística, estilística, antropológica, histórica, etc. Incluso la lectura común, que practicamos todos, debería poder reconocerse, al menos en parte, en esta descripción de sus dificultades

El microbioma de los cítricos: de la maetataxonomía a la búsqueda de bacterias beneficiosas

Citrus are the most cultivated fruit crop worldwide. Modern citrus industry needs new bioproducts to overcome currently phytopathological threats, tolerate biotic and abiotic stresses and increase yield and quality. Commercial citrus trees are grafted plants, where rootstocks are the hub of the most importantly horticultural and pathological traits. Mutualistic microbes present in root-associated communities (plant microbiome) have a great impact on host physiology and health, then providing a potential source of a variety of benefits for their host. The present study was devoted to assembly the rhizospheric citrus microbiome of two citrus rootstock genotypes grown in the same soil for over 20 years. We not found a significant genotype-dependent fine-tune of bacterial communities, since any citrus rootstock genotype selected an specific bacterial community. Nevertheless, some differentially abundant OTUs were found in higher proportions in Carrizo citrange, suggesting that this citrus rootstock genotype has higher affinity for certain bacteria. A “core-citrus” microbiome was established by selecting those OTUs shared among plants within and across genotypes (high adaptation) after 20 years of plant cultivation. Furthermore, host-selection (rhizosphere effect) was evaluated for each “core-citrus” OTU by comparing its abundance in roots vs. bulk soil bacterial communities. In parallel, an extensive census of the cultivable microbiome was performed to collect a large number of rhizospheric citrus isolates. Crossing 16S rRNA gene sequences from citrus isolates with those counterparts host-selected OTUs sequences from the “core-citrus” microbiome members, we linked metataxonomic data to microbe selection, allowing us to provide a citrus-adapted and host-selected rhizospheric bacterial collection (rcitrusBC) as a source to mine for plant beneficial microbes for future biotechnological applications required for the citrus industry.Universidad de Málaga.
