This collection surveys the translator training landscape in international organizations on a global scale, offering a state-of-the-art view on institutional translator training research and ...practical takeaways for stakeholders. The volume’s focus on training brings a unique perspective to existing research on institutional translation, which has tended to single out such themes as agency, professionalism, and quality. The book is divided into three sections, with the first outlining the competences required of institutional translators, the second exploring training practices at the university level and ""on the job"", for novices and professionals, across a range of settings, and the third providing a synthesis of the above. Contributions draw on findings from studies in both institutional desiderata and existing training programmes from diverse geographic contexts towards situating the discussion through a global lens. In linking together competences and training practices, the book enhances collective knowledge of institutional translation and provides valuable insights for universities and institutions that work with translators on both international and national scales. This book will be key reading for scholars in translation studies, particularly those interested in institutional translation and translator training, as well as active professionals.

Can libertarians care about social justice? In Free Market Fairness, John Tomasi argues that they can and should. Drawing simultaneously on moral insights from defenders of economic liberty such as ...F. A. Hayek and advocates of social justice such as John Rawls, Tomasi presents a new theory of liberal justice. This theory, free market fairness, is committed to both limited government and the material betterment of the poor. Unlike traditional libertarians, Tomasi argues that property rights are best defended not in terms of self-ownership or economic efficiency but as requirements of democratic legitimacy.
Článek se zabývá ochranou náboženského cítění v České republice v kontextu ojedinělého případu sporu kardinála Duky s brněnskou divadelní scénou ohledně divadelních her s blasfemickými prvky. Autorka ...provádí kontextuální analýzu rozhodnutí vydaných v tomto sporu, a to zejména rozsudku Nejvyššího soudu a nálezu Ústavního soudu a poukazuje na problematické aspekty odůvodnění obou rozhodnutí. U Nejvyššího soudu se zaměřuje na jeho tvrzení, že součástí Listiny základních práv a svobod je právo na ochranu náboženského cítění. U Ústavního soudu pak na jím provedený test legality, v rámci kterého rozšířil využitelnost žaloby na ochranu osobnosti i pro případy reflexní újmy věřících. Článek zohledňuje literaturu české odborné veřejnosti na téma ochrany náboženského cítění a rozsáhlou judikaturu Evropského soudu pro lidská práva.

Political caricature represents a highly specific form of the realisation of freedom of expression, the adequate reflexion of which requires a specific preunderstanding of the addressee concerning ...the meaning and aim of the caricature. In this regard we can consider caricature as culturally conditioned. Its current usage is therefore increasingly confronted with the limits consisting in the cultural diversity of society as well as with the expanding limitation on freedom of expression due to the emphasis on the importance of other conflicting rights, notably the right to human dignity. This paper analyses the presence of the latter limit in the case law of the Czech Constitutional Court by comparing this case law with decisions of the German Federal Constitutional Court and the US Supreme Court. Despite the fact that the case law of both foreign courts can be considered as substantially different, it in both cases reflects deeper normative ideas on the substance of human dignity of public persons participating in the political discourse. To the contrary, the Czech case law can be considered as inconsistent and leading from one extreme interpretation to another. Such an approach is generally objectionable due to the violation of the principle of consistency and foreseeability of judicial decision-making. In the case of political caricature, the inconsistency is amplified by the fact that judicial decision-making influences the scope and form of political discussion, usually in a way that disadvantages those who try to strengthen their otherwise weaker voice in the public discourse by an expressive feature: caricature. However, this limitation casts doubt on the basic premise of democracy, i. e. communicative rationality of citizens.
Purpose of the Review
This review highlights recent developments into how intercellular communication through connexin43 facilitates bone modeling and remodeling.
Recent Findings
Connexin43 is ...required for both skeletal development and maintenance, particularly in cortical bone, where it carries out multiple functions, including preventing osteoclastogenesis, restraining osteoprogenitor proliferation, promoting osteoblast differentiation, coordinating organized collagen matrix deposition, and maintaining osteocyte survival. Emerging data shows that connexin43 regulates both the exchange of small molecules among osteoblast lineage cells and the docking of signaling proteins to the gap junction, affecting the efficiency of signal transduction.
Summary
Understanding how and what connexin43 communicates to coordinate tissue remodeling has therapeutic implications in bone. Altering the information shared by intercellular communication and/or targeting the recruitment of signaling machinery to the gap junction could be used to impact the skeletal homeostatic set point, either driving osteogenesis or inhibiting resorption.
This ambitious volume provides a trenchant and timely analysis of the creation of a single market in both the EU and the US. Comparing the experience of the US during the nineteenth century and the ...single market of the EU in the twentieth century, the book demonstrates how the political economy of single market formation has followed remarkably similar trajectories. Both cases show evidence of interplay between different levels of government in determining distributive outcomes; evolution of a legal framework for the market; and development of new regulatory strategies to deal with changing economic realities. The book illustrates the process of market consolidation through a detailed comparison of the so-called four freedoms: the removal of border controls; and the largely unrestricted transfer of goods, services, and capital across different jurisdictions. In both cases, establishing one market, one currency, and a more unified banking and financial system transformed largely autonomous or sovereign constituent units into a more unified economic entity. Single Markets also sheds light on critically important questions for both comparativists and international relations scholars regarding the nature of territorial governance and the construction of state interests. The book's interdisciplinary approach to focusing on crucial political and economic developments on both sides of the Atlantic will be of interest to scholars in political science, public policy, law, and history.
The Internet's importance for freedom of expression and other rights comes in part from the ability it bestows on users to create and share information, rather than just receive it. Within the ...context of existing freedom of expression guarantees, this book critically evaluates the goal of bridging the 'digital divide' - the gap between those who have access to the Internet and those who do not. Central to this analysis is the examination of two questions: first, is there a right to access the Internet, and if so, what does that right look like and how far does it extend? Second, if there is a right to access the Internet, is there a legal obligation on States to overcome the digital divide?
Through examination of this debate's history, analysis of case law in the European Court of Human Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and a case study of one digital inclusion programme in Jalisco, Mexico, this book concludes that there is indeed currently a legal right to Internet access, but one that it is very limited in scope. The 2012 Joint Declaration on Freedom of Expression and the Internet is aspirational in nature, rather than a representative summary of current protections afforded by the international human rights legal framework. This book establishes a critical foundation from which some of these aspirations could be advanced in the future. The digital divide is not just a human rights challenge nor will it be overcome using human rights law alone. Nevertheless, human rights law could and should do more than it has thus far.
