Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

Completion of each stage will involve studying more than one module, and could take more than one year to complete. Students are able to study at their own pace. Each module will be set at a particular level. This indicates how complex it is, or how deep the learning is. Each module will also be measured by the number of credits that can be built up by completing it. Typically, modules will offer either 30 or 60 credits. Students will need to complete 1 – 2 compulsory modules, in addition to a choice of core modules to make up the 120 credits required for each stage.

Nottingham Trent University Course Specification
Nottingham Trent University Course Specification Basic Course Information 1. Awarding Institution: Nottingham Trent University 2. School/Campus: School of Science & Technology / Clifton Campus 3. Final Award, Course Title and BSc (Honours) Physics with Modes of Study: Astrophysics, FT & SW 4. Normal Duration: FT 3 years, SW 4 years 5. UCAS Code: F3F5 6. Overview and general educational aims of the course Physics is concerned with the observation, understanding and prediction of natural phenomena and the behaviour of man-made systems. It is both a theoretical and practical discipline that continually evolves. Studying physics at university brings benefits that last a lifetime, and knowledge and skills that are valuable outside of physics. This physics with astrophysics course addresses the more general and fundamental topics of physics in the first year, and then provides a selection of more advanced topics in later years. You will develop investigative, experimental, mathematical, computational and other transferable skills. You will also gain a sound knowledge of some important topics in astrophysics. It is a broad-based course that will help to make you numerate, articulate and eminently employable. The course may be studied full time over 3 years, or as a sandwich course by adding a placement year between Levels 2 & 3. Institute of Physics accreditation has been granted for the course in either mode. The fundamental topics covered are classical and quantum mechanics, wave phenomena, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics and properties of matter. These areas are applied to such topics as condensed matter and imaging in later years. There is also a more specialist strand of Astronomy and Cosmology that is developed throughout the course.

Short Cycle Higher Education in Europe Level 5: the Missing Link
2011 Short Cycle Higher Education in Europe Level 5: the Missing Link MAGDA KIRSCH AND YVES BEERNAERT This project has been funded with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission Copyright © 2011 by EURASHE All rights reserved. This information may be freely used and copied for non-commercial purposes, provided that the source is acknowledged (©EURASHE). EURASHE Ravensteingalerij 27/3 1000 Brussels BELGIUM ISBN-9789081686709 This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein Foreword ‘Level 5-The Missing Link’ is an intriguing title for this new publication of EURASHE for those not versed in the qualifications terminology. It rightly points to an existing lack in the National Qualifications Frameworks, at least in some countries in the European Higher Education Area (formerly ‘Bologna’). The implementation of the two- (later three) cycle structure also had to incorporate the level that is the link between secondary and higher education, and this for reasons explained below. It is a great merit of the two researchers, Magda Kirsch and Yves Beernaert, co-authors of the report, that they have taken up the challenge of mapping a sector of (higher) education in a variety of countries, which often have just this in common, that they are among the 47 that signed the Bologna Declaration, but otherwise have such different education systems and structures that make comparisons of levels and programmes extremely difficult.

HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What Is the Truth? Gary Null, Phd December 3, 2012
HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What is the Truth? Gary Null, PhD December 3, 2012 In the May 4, 1984 issue of the prestigious journal Science, one of the most important research papers of the last quarter century was published. “Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS” would rapidly become the medical Magna Carta for the entire gold rush to develop diagnostic methods to identify the presence of HIV in human blood and to invent pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines in a global war against AIDS. This paper, along with three others published in the same issue of Science, was written by Dr. Robert Gallo, then head of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology (LTCB) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, and his lead researcher Dr. Mikulas Popovic. To this day, this article continues to document the most cited research to prove the HIV hypothesis in scientific papers and places like the nation’s Centers of Disease Control (CDC) website. For virologists, molecular biologists and other infectious disease researchers, particularly those tied to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and the national medical and health institutions, the news of Gallo’s discovery was manna rained down from heaven. All research into other possible causes for the AIDS crisis ended abruptly. As soon as the winds shifted away from earlier efforts to find the cause of AIDS —people’s lifestyles, immune suppressing illicit drug use and other health risks and illnesses that adversely affect the body’s immune system — to that of a single new virus, the case was closed.
