翻译错误与低质量译文问题初探

翻译错误和低质量译是翻译过程中令人讨厌却又难以回避的问题，也是跨化、跨语言交际和信息传递中的必然副产品。本研究意欲通过对翻译错误产生的原因和分布的探讨，寻找析出翻译错误和低质量译的有效翻译评估方法，以便尽可能地减少此类问题的发生。     

美国教师档案袋应用实践及其启示

美国作为档案袋的发源地，在理论研究、实践操作，尤其是以档案袋促进教师专业发展方面成果丰硕，成效显著，其坚持教师“自愿”的开发原则、“教师自主、学校辅助”的管理方法以及“终身学习”的发展理念对于我国当前的档案袋开发和应用具有很强的借鉴意义。     

教师话语霸权的危害、成因及消解

当前教学实践中普遍存在着教师话语霸权的现象。教师话语霸权的产生，既受教师知识观、学生观和教学观等认识因素影响，也受现实教学制度制约。要消解教师的话语霸权，离不开教师对自身知识观和教学观的反思和重塑，同时也离不开对现有教学制度的调整和变革。

Parameters optimization of a parallel-flow heat exchanger with a new type of anti-vibration baffle and coiled wire using Taguchi method

This study presents the thermal-hydraulic optimization of the design parameters of a parallel-flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger with a new type of anti-vibration hexagon clamping baffle and equilateral triangle cross-sectioned coiled wire. A periodic flow unit duct with non-staggered tube layout is adopted as the numerical analysis model by Fluent. The Taguchi method is used to explore the influence of five geometric parameters including baffle distance (A), baffle width (B), coil diameter (C), coil pitch (D), and the side length of the equilateral triangle (E). An L18 (3⁵) orthogonal array is chosen to carry out the numerical simulation. The comprehensive thermal-hydraulic performance evaluation criterion (PEC) is set as the optimization goal. The results show that the order of the factor effectiveness for the Nusselt number is E>C>A>D>B, for the flow friction is C>E>A>B>D and for the PEC is C>E>A>B>D. This means that the coil pitch has a great influence while the baffle width and the coil diameter have a trifling effect. Finally, the optimal factor combination for PEC is obtained. The PEC of the optimal combination is 0.19%–1.92% higher than the model with better comprehensive performance among 18 cases for Reynolds number in the range from 14 465 to 32 547.     

Addressing quality challenges in the private university sector in Bangladesh: from policy formulation to institutional implementation

Private higher education is growing, especially in developing and transitioning countries. Rapid growth frequently comes with concerns about quality. This article explores challenges and opportunities for higher education quality among private universities in Bangladesh. By presenting a vertical case study that explores interactions among actors at the institutional, national and global spheres, the authors argue for the need of developing quality standards that respond to the local realities of developing and transitioning countries. It is also argued that self-regulation among private universities is likely the most effective pathway for improvement. Bangladesh presents an ideal case for analysis given the rapid growth that higher education has experienced in the last 20 years in that country and given the current policy junction as Bangladesh begins to implement a newly developed quality assurance system. Other countries in the region in early stages of developing quality assurance and accountability systems may benefit from the findings of this study.     

Child maltreatment: social representation of the general population and the professionals working with children in the Caribbean area of Colombia

OBJECTIVE: The main objective was to know social representations about child maltreatment (severity, etiology, and intervention strategies) of the general population and the professionals working with children in the Caribbean area of Colombia. METHOD: Sample was composed for 402 participants. From this pool of participants, 111 of them were working in child protection, 95 worked with children but not in the child protection system and 196 pertained to the general population. All participants answered to a questionnaire composed by 86 items. The questionnaire was developed to assess (1) the perceived severity of different typologies of child abuse, (2) opinions about risk factors for child maltreatment and sexual abuse, and (3) opinions about the most adequate ways of intervention with perpetrator of child abuse. RESULTS: Sexual abuse is considered as the most severe typology of child maltreatment and emotional abuse is considered as more severe than physical abuse. No differences between groups were found in perceived severity of typologies of child maltreatment. Differences in the social representation about the etiology of child maltreatment were found. Professionals working in the child protection system give more value to characteristics of parents and to the socio-economic and familiar environment in the etiology of child maltreatment than participants from the general population. Prevention and treatment programs for abusers were considered as the more relevant strategies against child maltreatment. DISCUSSION: Findings of present study suggest that social representations about child maltreatment of general population and professionals from the Caribbean area of Colombia are similar than social representation observed in other regions and countries. It is important to take into account that child labor and child poverty were considered as non-severe typologies of child maltreatment. Moreover, findings suggest that people from general population in the Caribbean area of Colombia have a relevant knowledge about agencies working for child protection.     

Transgenic learning for STEAM subjects and virtual containers for OER

Abstract

Transgenic learning is a disruptive approach in education. It encourages modification of moving parts of the educational chain. This article provides a view of transgenic learning focused on the delivery of enriched learning contents in STEAM areas. It discusses the mutagenic role that the virtual containers may play in current distance education. We focus on the containers’ technology and how it can bridge students, computing resources, teachers and specific IT needs. We also present an experiment carried out at UNIR University where we describe the transition from using conventional software distribution methods to the use of containers. Thanks to this virtualization approach, it is possible to deliver the necessary software-based lab scenarios. The results show that the participation and satisfaction of the students increased over time. Our experience shows that the combination of open educational resources, containers, and modern distribution channels can play a significant role in STEAM education.
