Gabriel González Núñez Dipòsit Legal: T 1681-2015 Acknowledgments It is a tricky exercise to acknowledge the help of everyone who lent a hand in one way or another in my putting together this study. So many people contributed in so many different ways, that I fear despite my best efforts, someone will always be left out. Even so, I would be ungrateful not to recognize the many helpers I had along the way. So here we go: To begin with, I wish to extend special thanks to my family. To my siblings, whose visits to Europe gave me a welcome respite from my daily tasks. To my parents, who have given me their unconditional support in all my endeavors, including this one, and who have laid the foundation upon which my house is built. To my two tireless daughters, who constantly remind me with their we-couldn’t-care-less-about-your-thesis playfulness that my life’s most important work happens within the walls of the home. To my wife, for being the anchor in my stormy nights and the motor behind everything that has any worth in my life, ever since that day in December 2008 until forever. And finally, I wish to thank God, whom I have learned to call Padre, with all that entails. Next, I should not fail to recognize the needed contributions made here and there by support personnel at OSE, ECMI, URV, and KU Lueven. I would highlight among them the support of Inge Petré (at the Facutly of Arts’ financial cell), Steven Dewallens (at CETRA and the research unit), Myriam Witvrouw (with TIME at KU Leuven’s R&D), Karen Vandemeulebroucke and Lieve Behiels (back-to-back doctoral coordinators), Stefan Derouck (at the central library’s Interlibrary Loan), and Ester Torres (at URV’s Intercultural Studies Group). I would also give thanks to a number of individuals who made the time I spent at KU Leuven quite amicable, especially Maud Gonne, Esmaeil Haddadian, and Nicodème Niyongabo. I also enjoyed the social and academic support of the other Marie Curie Actions fellows: Carlos Teixeira, Marta Miquel, Wine Tesseur, and Sara Ramos Pinto. And then there was my buddy Troy Munro, who single-handedly saved my bibliography despite being busy with his own doctoral work. I am also grateful for a number of professors who offered advise along the way. Some of this happened in the context of CETRA, where I would point to Peter Flynn, José Lambert, Franz Pöchhacker, Dirk Delabastita, and Miriam Shlesinger (RIP) in particular. And some happened in the context of TIME, where I would point to Yves Gambier and Christina Schaeffner. There were a number of individuals who read early, cumbersome drafts of parts of this thesis and offered their constructive feedback: José María Arraiza (at the OSCE), Tove Malloy (at ECMI), Federica Prina (at ECMI), Rita Baeten (at OSE), and Andrew Chesterman (who read almost the whole thing from his home in Finland). I thank them for their insights and encouragement. I also wish to thank the three members of my doctoral committee: Fernand de Varennes, Anthony Pym, and Reine Meylaerts. Fernand de Varennes was kind enough to join without even having heard of me or this project, and his feedback was always insightful, always welcome. Anthony Pym and Reine Meylaerts are also the supervisors of this thesis, and they were a constant source of support from day one. I am particularly grateful to Anthony Pym for pointing me in the direction of KU Leuven and for sticking with me until the very end, despite having the busiest schedule in all of TS. I am especially grateful to Reine Meylaerts, who took a chance on me by choosing me for this project, advised me regularly (even weekly or more), guided me on everything from managing the university’s labyrinth to the content of every page in this thesis, and is just a really cool person. A hartelijk thanks to her. UNIVERSITAT ROVIRA I VIRGILI TRANSLATING FOR LINGUISTIC MINORITIES: TRANSLATION POLICY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Leuven, May 25, 2014. UNIVERSITAT ROVIRA I VIRGILI TRANSLATING FOR LINGUISTIC MINORITIES: TRANSLATION POLICY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. Gabriel González Núñez Dipòsit Legal: T 1681-2015 Abstract: In contemporary Europe, state languages come in contact with a tapestry of immigrant languages and a set of ever more legitimized regional or minority languages. In this context, policymakers are faced with changing demographics and attitudes about rights and integration. Current research on language policies as they pertain to integration largely overlooks the role of translation. This thesis hopes to shed light on this oft-overlooked area.

Zäch Str. 4, 6207 Nottwil, Switzerland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-519-239-5295 Received: 6 May 2020; Accepted: 5 June 2020; Published: 18 June 2020 Abstract: Background: The rising prevalence of disability due to noncommunicable diseases and the aging process in tandem with under-prioritization and underdevelopment of rehabilitation services remains a significant concern for European public health. Over recent years, health system responses to population health needs, including rehabilitation needs, have been increasingly acknowledging the power of law and formal written policies as strategic governance tools to improve population health outcomes. However, the contents and scope of enacted legislation and adopted policies concerning rehabilitation services in Europe has not been synthesized. This paper presents a concise overview of laws and policies addressing rehabilitation in five European countries. Methods: Publicly available laws, policies, and national action plans addressing rehabilitation issues of Sweden, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom were reviewed and descriptive documents analyzed. Actions found in national health policies were also evaluated for compliance with the key recommendations specified in the World Health Organization’s Rehabilitation 2030: Call for Action.

  • Key Dates in Tobacco Regulation 1962 — 2020
    Key dates in tobacco regulation 1962 — 2020 16 Further information about the early history of tobacco is available at: www.tobacco.org/History/history.html 1962 The first Royal College of Physicians (RCP) report, "Smoking and Health", was published. It received massive publicity. The main recommendations were: restriction of tobacco advertising; increased taxation on cigarettes; more restrictions on the sales of cigarettes to children, and smoking in public places; and more information on the tar/nicotine content of cigarettes. For the first time in a decade, cigarette sales fell. The Tobacco Advisory Committee (subsequently Council, and now known as the Tobacco Manufacturers’ Association) - which represents the interests of the tobacco industry - agreed to implement a code of advertising practice for cigarettes which was intended to take some of the glamour out of cigarette advertisements. The code was based on the former ITA code governing cigarette advertisements on TV (before they were removed in 1964, with the co-operation of the ITA) 1964 The US Surgeon General produced his first report on "Smoking and Health". Its conclusions corroborated those of the RCP and the US Surgeon General has produced annual reports since 1967 on the health consequences on smoking. Doll and Hill published the results of a nationwide prospective survey on "mortality in relation to smoking: 10 years' observations in British Doctors". Between 1951 and 1964 about half the UK's doctors who smoked gave up and there was a dramatic fall in lung cancer incidence among those who gave up as opposed to those who continued to smoke. 1965 After considerable debate, the government used the powers vested in it under the terms of the 1964 Television Act to ban cigarette advertisements on television.

  • Brexit: Britain Has Spoken… Or Has It?
    Brexit: Britain has spoken… or has it? Nicholas Donaldson, Nora Donaldson & Grace Yang Nicholas Donaldson, Nora Donaldson and Grace Yang explore issues in the design and analysis of the Brexit referendum The “Brexit” referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union (EU) took place on 23 June 2016. The result was essentially 52-48 in favour of Leave, as the observed proportion of Leavers was 51.9%. On this basis, statements like “the majority of the UK chose to leave the EU” or “the British people have voted to leave the European Union” or “the will of the British people is…” have pervaded political discourse and newspaper articles. However, all those statements are untrue or – at best – unproven. If 100% of voters had turned out to vote, then there would have been complete information about the opinion of the UK voting population in the Brexit referendum, but this is not the case: the turnout rate was only about 72%, which means that only 37% of the eligible British electorate chose Leave. With turnout at 72%, Leave would needed to have won 69% of the vote to claim the majority of the British public was on its side with certainty. But since any statement about the whole population made on the basis of a subset carries with it an element of uncertainty, one should be compelled to perform the best possible analysis to deduce the views of the whole population from the subset. The uncertainty element should be part of the analysis. In a recent paper, What does the data of the Brexit referendum really say?1, the authors address two fundamental issues.
