How to Comprehend Large and Complicated Systems
2002
The basic problem at early analysis stage of the development life cycle is how to quickly comprehend a large and complicated system. One of the ways to comprehend such a system is to build an object model, as it was suggested by the pioneers of object modelling approach such as J.Rumbaugh1 and J.Martin2. In up-to-date terminology it means building a UML class diagram. The authors have got convinced in their everyday practice on extreme efficiency of this type of modelling, though at the same time a significant experience for this job is also required. To make this job easier, a modelling methodology must be developed. The goal of this paper is, on the one hand, to give some methodological r…
Translation and terminology. On two Spanish versions (Madrid, 1800) of Dumarsais’ Logique
2013
This article is the Spanish version of “Traduction et terminologie. A propos de deux versions espagnoles (Madrid, 1800) de la Logique de Dumarsais” by Brigitte Lépinette. It was not published on the print version of MonTI for reasons of space. The online version of MonTI does not suffer from these limitations, and this is our way of promoting plurilingualism. Framed in the field of philosophical translation (lato sensu), this article deals with two different versions of Logique by Dumarsais (Paris, 1730) published in Spain. We show that these two “Lógicas”, translated by two different persons, who also had distinct purposes as is evidenced by their respective bibliographical context and met…
Reintroducing photosynthesis.
2011
This article reports on conceptual difficulties related to photosynthesis and respiratory metabolism of a Plant Physiology course for undergraduate students that could hinder their better learning of metabolic processes. A survey of results obtained in this area during the last 10 academic years was performed, as well as a specific test, aimed to find out prior conceptual schemes in the students. The test included only basic, general questions on plant metabolism, and was passed on the first day of the course. Scores obtained by different groups of students were compared. Survey of students' performance in previous years shows that questions on plant metabolism result in significantly lower…
The pathology of bladder cancer: An update on selected issues
2006
OBJECTIVE: To achieve a closer relationship between urologists and pathologists and to use a common language and identical objectives in the pathology of bladder cancer. METHODS AND RESULTS: Special emphasis was given to an analysis of the new World Health Organization (WHO) grading system, to the interpretation of the last Tumour-Nodes-Metastasis staging rules, and to identifying new markers of prognostic significance in clinical practice. A consensus was achieved on the main points. CONCLUSIONS: The 2004 WHO grading system must become acceptable to clinicians, perhaps by a minimal modification of the present terminology. Simple transurethral resection-biopsy should be expressed in terms o…
Special Civil Law as a Sign of Political Identity: A Constitutional Approach to the Case of the Valencian Community
2013
We seek to clarify the political terminology and meaning of what is contained in the Valencian Statute in the light of the (far more developed and diverse) doctrinal and jurisprudential contributions to arise from the demands of other autonomous communities. This is necessary after the 2006 reform of the Valencian Statute, due to the tendency towards historical law evident therein, and is also essential if progress is to be made towards the constitutional reform that will bring to a close the evolution of the Autonomous State into an ordered Federal State.
Deportation vs. Sanctuary: The Rationalities, Technologies, and Subjects of Finnish Sanctuary Practices
1969

 Evangelical Lutheran parishes and their representatives have provided sanctuaries for asylum seekers for forty years in Finland.Yet this activity became widely publicly recognized only after the Finnish Ecumenical Council released the “Church as Sanctuary” document in 2007.The parishes are assisted by many civic organizations (e.g.women’s organizations, Free Movement Network, Amnesty International, and Finnish Refugee Council) in providing sanctuary.They share the same opponent: the state’s strict asylum policy.The various parties involved in Finnish sanctuary incidents can be divided into two groups using the terminology of the Foucaldian analytics of pastoral power: a state pastor…
Position paper - progress towards standards in integrated (aerobic) MBR modelling.
2020
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) models are useful tools for both design and management. The system complexity is high due to the involved number of processes which can be clustered in biological and physical ones. Literature studies are present and need to be harmonized in order to gain insights from the different studies and allow system optimization by applying a control. This position paper aims at defining the current state of the art of the main integrated MBR models reported in the literature. On the basis of a modelling review, a standardized terminology is proposed to facilitate the further development and comparison of integrated membrane fouling models for aerobic MBRs. ispartof: WATER …
El terme pretopònim en el DECat de Joan Coromines
2015
En este artículo se traza brevemente la historia de la introducción del término pretopónimo en los estudios sobre la historia del léxico catalán y la onomástica catalana. También, de su difusión a la terminología de otras lenguas vecinas. Se intenta analizar el uso que hace Corominas en el DECat con el fin de intentar una definición del término.Palabras clave: lexicografía; metalexicografía; historia de la terminología; DECat; GMLC. This essay draws the history of the Catalan word pretopònim (i. e. pre-toponym) and its introduction in the studies on the history of Catalan words and place-names. It also deals with the introduction of this word in the scientific terminology of neighbouring la…
The cognitive shift in terminology and specialized translation
2009
Este artículo propone un análisis crítico y una visión global de las teorías terminológicas con especial atención a la traducción científica y técnica. El estudio de los tecnolectos está sometido en la actualidad a un cambio hacia el cognitivismo, que a su vez conduce a un énfasis mucho mayor tanto en el significado como en las estructuras conceptuales que subyacen en los textos y en la lengua en general. La terminología parece estar pasando del prescriptivismo al descriptivismo, con un interés creciente por enfocar el estudio de las unidades de los tecnolectos desde una perspectiva social, lingüística y cognitiva. En esta misma línea, comienzan a oírse nuevas voces que ofrecen perspectivas…
The analysis of lexical change in specialized discourse
2019
En aquest text s’explora l’abordatge incipient de l’anàlisi del canvi lingüístic en contextos comunicatius especialitzats. Des de història de la ciència i la terminologia s’han fet incursions en el tema de l’evolució del llenguatge d’especialitat, però no s’hi ha aplicat encara ni la teoria del canvi ni la metodologia de l’anàlisi de la variació. En aquest primer treball s’ofereix una breu presentació dels principals ítems que regulen l’estudi del canvi lingüístic i una síntesi dels principals canvis lèxics (neologia, manlleus, lexicalització i gramaticalització menor), per concloure quins ajustaments teòrics i metodològics convindria introduir i quina mena d’anàlisis caldria engegar per a …
