U ovome radu obrađuje se tema prevođenja elemenata kulture s engleskoga na
hrvatski jezik pomoću multimetodološkog pristupa koji objedinjuje kvantitativnu i
kvalitativnu analizu produktnog i ...procesnog korpusa istraživanja.
Osnovni cilj rada jest definicija i klasifikacija elemenata kulture u izvornome tekstu
te analiza strategija i postupaka prevođenja elemenata kulture u prijevodu s
engleskoga na hrvatski jezik kao i istraživanje samoga procesa prevođenja elemenata
kulture na temelju protokola glasnoga razmišljanja. Praktični cilj ovog rada jest
prijedlog modela prevođenja kulturne konstelacije teksta kako bi se eliminirali
najčešći uzroci neadekvatnih prijevodnih rješenja i pogrešaka u prevođenju kulturne
konstelacije teksta.
Pregled i analiza relevantne literature omogućili su ispunjenje teorijskih ciljeva, tj.
definiranje EK-ova i izradu potrebne taksonomije, što je poslužilo kao instrument u
istraživanju. Svi navedeni instrumenti objedinjeni su u multimetodološki model
istraživanja elemenata kulture u tekstu prema kojem je provedeno istraživanje na
produktnom i procesnom korpusu.
Zaključci iz produktnog korpusa mogu se sažeti na sljedeći način: dominiraju EK-ovi
iz područja društva, koji su prevedeni strategijom postranjivanja i postupcima
posuđivanja i kalkiranja, a u njihovom prevođenju relativno su česta neadekvatna
rješenja i pogreške. Istraživanje procesa prevođenja EK-ova pokazalo je da oni
prevoditeljima predstavljaju skoro pet puta veći problem od običnih leksema. Širi
kontekst ovih zaključaka jest sagledavanje prevođenja kao struke i djelatnosti,
odnosno potreba da se ovo pitanje uredi, odnosno da se normira i standardizira.
Osnovna hipoteza rada, naime da se elementi kulture sadržani u tekstu kao kulturna
konstelacija teksta prevode pretežito strategijom postranjivanja te da za prevoditelje
predstavljaju značajan problem i potencijalni je izvor pogrešaka, potvrđena je
rezultatima ovog istraživanja.
This dissertation deals with the topic of translating elements of culture from English
into Croatian by applying a mixed methods approach that combines a quantitative
and qualitative analysis of the product and process research corpora.
The objective of the thesis was to define and classify elements of culture in a source
text, to analyze translation strategies and procedures applied in the translation of the
elements of culture in the process of translation from English into Croatian, and to
examine the translation process itself, applying the think-aloud protocol approach.
The practical aim of the thesis was to propose a model of translation of cultural
constellation in a text, in order to eliminate the most frequent causes of inadequate
translation solutions and/or errors in the translation of a cultural constellation.
A review of the relevant literature and previous work in the field allowed for
achievement of the theoretical objective and definition of the elements of culture, as
well as a devision of taxonomies to be applied as a research tool in the study. All
instruments were combined in the mixed method research model applied in the study
of elements of culture on the two types of corpora: product and process.
The findings of the product corpus analysis indicated that the corpus is dominated by
elements of culture belonging to the lexical field of society, translated using the
foreignization strategy and the calquing procedure. Furthermore, the corpus reveals a
relatively high frequency of inadequate or erroneous translation solutions. The
analysis of the translation process indicated that elements of culture presented a
translation problem five times more difficult than a usual lexeme. The broader
context of these conclusions is the need to regulate and standardize translation as a
profession and as an activity.
The main hypothesis of this dissertation was confirmed in this study, namely that
individual elements of culture that form the cultural constellation of a text are
translated predominantly using the foreignization strategy and thus represent a
significant problem and potential source of translation errors.
Since internationally visible scientific productivity is a criterion for state evaluation of Croatian academic and scientific institutions and their scientists, Croatian academic libraries have a key ...role in quantitative evaluation of scientific productivity using methods such as bibliometrics, scientometrics and the like. The aim of this case study is to identify and illustrate the current situation of library services for evaluating scientific production at the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and to make recommendations for the further development of such services, which could serve as a framework for the systematic implementation of this type of service in all libraries at the University of Zagreb and beyond. More specifically, the purpose of this paper was to identify the existence of the bibliometric services in the libraries of the University of Zagreb (UNIZG), examine the status and involvement of university librarians in the academic advancement procedures and to identify the required competences for bibliometric experts in Croatia. The research was conducted using the content analysis method, the survey method, and the focus group method. The research results show that although UNIZG libraries are integrated into the system of academic promotion and the role of UNIZG libraries is enshrined in Croatian regulations, the bibliometric service is not standardised at the University level. The results also indicate that the service needs to be strengthened in terms of training of professional staff and greater investment in staff capacity and infrastructure. The fact that the study was conducted at a single Croatian university is a possible limitation that could relate to the application of guidelines for further actions and the development of bibliometric services at national level. It would therefore be desirable to conduct future research to identify the situation at other Croatian universities as well. It would also be necessary to determine the open science and open access policies at UNIZG through further research and, in this context, to establish guidelines for possible improvements in the processes of evaluating scientific productivity. The results of this study make an important contribution to the possible future positioning of university libraries and UNIZG librarians in the process of evaluating scientific productivity. In addition, some practical advice is given so that this case study may be a good introductory overview for the wider academic community in relation to this topic.
Introduction
Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvesting requires reliable and safe vascular access. In our institution, a change of practice was implemented and the central venous catheter (CVC) ...placement for all autologous PBSC collections was abandoned in favor of a careful evaluation of peripheral venous access (PVA) for each individual patient. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the rate of patients with adequate peripheral veins for autologous PBSC collection and compare patient characteristics, collection efficacy, and complication rate between patients with PVA and CVC.
Method
Peripheral veins were assessed by the apheresis nurse team in all patients referred between January 2020 and July 2021 to autologous PBSC collection. Only in case of difficult venous access, CVC was inserted. Large volume leukapheresis (LVL) procedures, which processed ≥3 total blood volumes, were performed.
Results
In 65 (57%) patients PVA was used, while 49 (43%) patients required placement of short‐term CVC. Peripheral venous access was successfully used significantly more often in males (69.8%) (P = 0.010), and patients with multiple myeloma (71.0%) than in patients with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (35.9%) and Hodgkin's lymphoma patients (33.3%) (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the type of prior administered chemotherapy; in the patients who received cytostatics free chemotherapy, PVA was used more often (75.0%) (P = 0.007). In terms of the efficacy and safety of LVLs, there were no differences between procedures performed using PVA and CVCs.
Conclusion
Peripheral venous access is feasible for autologous PBSC collection in more than a half of patients, in particular in those with multiple myeloma. Changes in the treatment of multiple myeloma, using new proteasome inhibitors‐based and immunomodulatory agents that do not adversely affect peripheral veins, have enabled the use of PVA even at the high blood flow rates required by LVL. Peripheral venous access is not associated with safety issues or with a lesser collection efficiency, and it is cost‐effective as well. Each patient referred to autologous PBSC collection needs to be evaluated individually by the experienced apheresis team for the most appropriate venous access.
