Public service interpreting is a practice in which different agents collaborate in a wide array of communicative situations. At the same time, these heterogeneous situations are regimented by strict institutional, structural, and professional constraints. Thus, agency, i.e. functional ability based on individual identities and cultural models, materialized through collective activities, is a particularly challenging field of inquiry in such settings. This collaborative paper aims at examining agency in public service interpreting from the perspectives of a researcher specialized in the theory of agency, a public service interpreter who is also a researcher, and the head of a public interpreting service agency. Therefore, the goal is to combine theory and practice and bring together different stakeholders’ points of view. Through this critical examination of the notion of agency, the authors aim at identifying a common ground that could function as a basis for a more cooperative model of agency in this context. The paper originates from a panel organized at the Finnish Symposium on Translation and Interpreting Studies held at the University of Tampere in April 2014.Public service interpreting is a practice in which different agents collaborate in a wide array of communicative situations.

Lysyl hydroxylase 3 localizes to epidermal basement membrane and Is reduced in patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is caused by mutations in COL7A1 resulting in reduced or absent type VII collagen, aberrant anchoring fibril formation and subsequent dermal-epidermal fragility. Here, we identify a significant decrease in PLOD3 expression and its encoded protein, the collagen modifying enzyme lysyl hydroxylase 3 (LH3), in RDEB. We show abundant LH3 localising to the basement membrane in normal skin which is severely depleted in RDEB patient skin. We demonstrate expression is in-part regulated by endogenous type VII collagen and that, in agreement with previous studies, even small reductions in LH3 expression lead to significantly less secreted LH3 protein. Exogenous type VII collagen did not alter LH3 expression in cultured RDEB keratinocytes and we show that RDEB patients receiving bone marrow transplantation who demonstrate significant increase in type VII collagen do not show increased levels of LH3 at the basement membrane. Our data report a direct link between LH3 and endogenous type VII collagen expression concluding that reduction of LH3 at the basement membrane in patients with RDEB will likely have significant implications for disease progression and therapeutic intervention

Private, public and historical sphere – in Kate Atkinson’s Behind the Scenes at the museum

The role of material culture in fiction has been given relatively little attention within the field of literary studies. This is surprising, since fiction provides interesting and at times revealing clues with regard to the way people experience the world and make sense of it. From this point of view, contemporary ’postmodern’ fiction especially seems worth exploring. Kate Atkinson’s novel is ’popular’ in the sense that it deals with themes that are common and close to ’ordinary’ British (English) people: it explores family ties, the encounters of generations and the over-all relations to the past, the present and the future. But at the same time it is also a highly complex and self-reflective ’postmodern’ novel, which is likely to reveal something in relation to the academic discourses that it has been influenced by. Although fictive worlds are undeniably fictive and personal constructions by the authors, they nevertheless mirror something of the contexts of their production, the contemporary social realities in which the texts are born. The following is a case study of a fictional process, in which the protagonist Ruby is attempting to make sense of her life, and in so doing, weaving ’words and things’ into a personal ’heritage narrative’ that combines both private and public elements.
