IDENTITIES, CULTURAL MITIGATION AND ETHNIC MINORITY INTERPRETERS

W artykule zostaje podjęta analiza tożsamości etnicznych tłumaczy w Hong Kongu. Zaprezentowano również sposób w jaki różnice kulturowe są adaptowane w interpretacji prawniczej. Metoda badawcza zaprezentowana w pracy opiera się na podejściu Milroy’a (1987, 2003) oraz Mdisona (2005). Media społecznościowe zastały użyte do zebrania danych potrzebnych do analizy. W procesie zbierania danych: potrzeba właściwej oceny, akredytacja, możliwości zawodowe czy kodeks etyki pojawiały się najczęściej. Stosunkowo, temat ten nie był podejmowany. Należałoby go poszerzyć w najbliższej przyszłości. Praca miała za zadanie zapewnienie realnych zaleceń dla rozwoju tłumacza ustnego prawniczego w Hong Kongu.This paper explores the identity construction of ethnic minority (EM) interpreters in Hong Kong and the way cultural differences are incorporated into interpreting in legal settings. The linkage between the two key themes under this study is intertwined by a proposition that an EM interpreter is able to identify cultural differences at work because of his/her close affiliation with the culture, language and ethnicity. In examining the formation of EM interpreters’ professional identities, the intricate interplay of the interpreters’ perceptions, knowledge, native values and beliefs on the one hand and institutional mechanisms/mainstream practice on the other, will be studied. Based on the theoretical framework of Jenkins’ internal-external dialectic of identification developed in Social Identity (2004) and Rethinking Ethnicity (2008), I will integrate Neuliep’s (2009) contextual approach of intercultural communication to examine the integration of cultural differences in interpreters’ interpretation. The research methods primarily used in this project are Milroy’s (1987, 2003) approach of social networking and critical ethnography (Madison 2005). Social networking has been used as an overarching theme in navigating contacts for collecting data and analysing the network dynamics that influence interpreting practice. Likewise, critical ethnography has been used as a tool to investigate how different power structures impact legal interpreting practice. Need for proper assessment, accreditation, professional development opportunities and the code of ethics have emerged as overlapping topics in the process of data collection. As interpreting practice in EM languages in Hong Kong is still relatively unexplored, the project aims at providing viable recommendations to the development of the interpreting profession in legal settings, in particular in Hong Kong

An Optokinetic Nystagmus Detection Method for Use With Young Children

Sangi, M., Thompson, B., & Turuwhenua, J. (2015). An Optokinetic Nystagmus Detection Method for Use With Young Children. IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 3, 1600110. http://doi.org/10.1109/JTEHM.2015.2410286 ©IEEEThe detection of vision problems in early childhood can prevent neurodevelopmental disorders such as amblyopia. However, accurate clinical assessment of visual function in young children is challenging. optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is a reflexive sawtooth motion of the eye that occurs in response to drifting stimuli, that may allow for objective measurement of visual function in young children if appropriate child-friendly eye tracking techniques are available. In this paper, we present offline tools to detect the presence and direction of the optokinetic reflex in children using consumer grade video equipment. Our methods are tested on video footage of children (N = 5 children and 20 trials) taken as they freely observed visual stimuli that induced horizontal OKN. Using results from an experienced observer as a baseline, we found the sensitivity and specificity of our OKN detection method to be 89.13% and 98.54%, respectively, across all trials. Our OKN detection results also compared well (85%) with results obtained from a clinically trained assessor. In conclusion, our results suggest that OKN presence and direction can be measured objectively in children using consumer grade equipment, and readily implementable algorithms
