La traducción del humor verbal finés-español en la literatura novelística: El caso de la novela finlandesa Ihmisen osa

En este trabajo de fin de máster estudiamos la traducción del humor en la literatura novelística. Nos interesa sobre todo en el lenguaje humorístico, y nos centramos en los recursos con los que cuenta un traductor para poder transmitir el humor lingüístico del texto fuente finlandés al texto de llegada español. Primero vemos las definiciones del humor y contemplamos las características del humor lingüístico expresado mediante el vocabulario y la aliteración. Después seguimos con los puntos de vista de algunos estudiosos sobre la traducción y la posibilidad de traducir humor en la literatura, o sea, cómo se traduce, cómo se debería traducir y a qué medida es posible mantener el efecto humorístico en el texto traducido. Las fuentes teoréticas más importantes son Salvatore Attardo sobre el humor lingüístico, Walter Nash sobre el análisis del lenguaje humorístico, y Peter Newmark sobre estrategias y métodos de traducción. En la parte empírica del trabajo realizamos una comparación entre la obra finlandesa Ihmisen osa de Kari Hotakainen y su traducción al español, Por partes, por Ursula Ojanen y Rafael García Anguita. Las principales observaciones de este trabajo de fin de máster están relacionadas con los procedimientos de traducción más útiles para un traductor de literatura humorística y con la naturaleza y del lenguaje humorístico en la obra finlandesa. Así, por ejemplo vimos que en la obra finlandesa Ihmisen osa la aliteración tiene un papel importante en la creación del efecto humorístico, y que la aliteración se puede traducir. Sin embargo, la traducción de la aliteración no suele ser el principal objetivo de la traducción, ya que eso supondría la anteposición de una característica estilística al contenido de la narrativa. También averiguamos que el procedimiento más utilizado por los traductores de esta obra, en cuanto a la traducción de las expresiones de estilo humorístico, es la sinonimia, que alude a la traducción de un término del texto fuente con un término de la lengua de llegada con un significado aproximadamente igual, pero no exactamente lo mismo. Cuando no se aspira a encontrar un equivalente exacto en el texto de llegada el traductor tiene más libertad de elegir una expresión estilísticamente adecuado en el contexto. Ocasionalmente no es posible encontrar una expresión humorística equivalente en ambos idiomas, y así el humor no se mantiene siempre en la traducción. La mayoría de los ejemplos analizados podían ser calificados como menos humorísticos que los del texto original. Al contrario de nuestra hipótesis de partida, la compensación no figura entre los procedimientos más utilizados en la traducción de esta obra.

Awake examination versus DISE for surgical decision making in patients with OSA: A systematic review

OBJECTIVE: Traditionally, upper airway examination is performed while the patient is awake. However, in the past two decades, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has been used as a method of tridimensional evaluation of the upper airway during pharmacologically induced sleep. This study aimed to systematically review the evidence regarding the usefulness of DISE compared with that of traditional awake examination for surgical decision making in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). DATA SOURCES: Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. REVIEW METHODS: Only studies with a primary objective of evaluating the usefulness of DISE for surgical decision making in patients with OSA were selected. The included studies directly compared awake examination data with DISE outcome data in terms of possible influences on surgical decision making and operation success. RESULTS: A total of eight studies with 535 patients were included in this review. Overall, the surgical treatment changed after DISE in 50.24% (standard deviation 8.4) cases. These changes were more frequently associated with structures contributing to hypopharyngeal or laryngeal obstruction. However, these differences do not automatically indicate a higher success rate. CONCLUSION: This review emphasized the direct impact of DISE compared with that of awake examination on surgical decision making in OSA patients. However, it is also clear that the available published studies lack evidence on the association between this impact and surgical outcomes

RESEÑA HISTORICA DE LA POBLACION Y LOS RECURSOS NATURALES DE LA PENINSULA DE OSA, PACIFICO SUR. 1848-1981

La colonización de la península de Osa por Hispanoamericanos, y su desarrollo durante más de un siglo, se consideran en este informe desde la perspectiva de la ecología cultural, poniendo de relieve las relaciones entre la población humana y los recursos naturales que esta utiliza. Se puede resumir en cuatro etapas principales el proceso de desarrollo en que se hace cada vez más intensa la explotación de dichos recursos y el aumento de la población colonizadora.   SUMMARY The colonization and development of the Osa peninsula by Hispano-Americans during more than a century are considered in this article from the perspective of cultural ecology. Emphasis is put on the relations between the human population and the natural resources used by the same population. Four stages are summarized in the development process which is the result of the intensification of the exploitation of the natural resources and of the increase in the colonizing population.   RESUME On présente l’impact de la colonisation de la péninsule d’Osa par les hispano-américains ainsi que du processus de développement qui s étend sur plus d’un  siècle, dans la perspective de l’écologie culturelle, en insistant sur les interrelations entre population et ressources naturelles. Suivant la croissante exploration de ces ressources qu’a signifiée ce processus on peub y distinguer 4 étapes.

Cues to starting CPAP in obstructive sleep apnoea : development and validation of the cues to CPAP Use Questionnaire (CCUQ)

Background: The reasons that a patient has to start treatment, their “Cues to Action”, are important for determining subsequent health behaviours. Cues to action are an explicit component of the Health Belief Model of CPAP acceptance adherence. At present there is no scale available to measure this construct for individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). This paper aims to develop, validate and describe responding patterns within an OSA patient sample to the Cues to CPAP Use Questionnaire (CCUQ).----- Method: Participants were 63 adult patients diagnosed with OSA who had never tried CPAP when initially recruited. The CCUQ was completed at one month after being prescribed CPAP.----- Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed a three factor structure of the 9-item CCUQ, with “Health Cues”, “Partner Cues” and “Health Professional Cues” subscales accounting for 59.91% of the total variance. The CCUQ demonstrated modest internal consistency and split-half reliability. The questionnaire is brief and user-friendly, with readability at a 7th grade level. The most frequently endorsed cues for starting CPAP were Health Professional Cues (prompting by the sleep physician) and Health Cues such as tiredness and concern about health outcomes.----- Conclusions: This study validates a measure of an important motivational component of the Health Belief Model. Health Professional Cues and internal Health Cues were reported to be the most important prompts to commence CPAP by this patient sample.

Effects of age on peripheral ocular aberrations

On-axis monochromatic higher-order aberrations increase with age. Few studies have been made of peripheral refraction along the horizontal meridian of older eyes, and none of their off-axis higher-order aberrations. We measured wave aberrations over the central 42°x32° visual field for a 5mm pupil in 10 young and 7 older emmetropes. Patterns of peripheral refraction were similar in the two groups. Coma increased linearly with field angle at a significantly higher rate in older than in young emmetropes (−0.018±0.007 versus −0.006±0.002 µm/deg). Spherical aberration was almost constant over the measured field in both age groups and mean values across the field were significantly higher in older than in young emmetropes (+0.08±0.05 versus +0.02±0.04 µm). Total root-mean-square and higher-order aberrations increased more rapidly with field angle in the older emmetropes. However, the limits to monochromatic peripheral retinal image quality are largely determined by the second-order aberrations, which do not change markedly with age, and under normal conditions the relative importance of the increased higher-order aberrations in older eyes is lessened by the reduction in pupil diameter with age. Therefore it is unlikely that peripheral visual performance deficits observed in normal older individuals are primarily attributable to the increased impact of higher-order aberration.

Peripheral higher order aberrations in emmetropes and myopes

Purpose: Poor image quality in the peripheral field may lead to myopia. Most studies measuring the higher order aberrations in the periphery have been restricted to the horizontal visual field. The purpose of this study was to measure higher order monochromatic aberrations across the central 42º horizontal x 32º vertical visual fields in myopes and emmetropes. ---------- Methods: We recruited 5 young emmetropes with spherical equivalent refractions +0.17 ± 0.45D and 5 young myopes with spherical equivalent refractions -3.9 ± 2.09D. Measurements were taken with a modified COAS-HD Hartmann-Shack aberrometer (Wavefront Sciences Inc). Measurements were taken while the subjects looked at 38 points arranged in a 7 x 6 matrix (excluding four corner points) through a beam splitter held between the instrument and the eye. A combination of the instrument’s software and our own software was used to estimate OSA Zernike coefficients for 5mm pupil diameter at 555nm for each point. The software took into account the elliptical shape of the off-axis pupil. Nasal and superior fields were taken to have positive x and y signs, respectively. ---------- Results: The total higher order RMS (HORMS) was similar on-axis for emmetropes (0.16 ± 0.02 μm) and myopes (0.17 ± 0.02 μm). There was no common pattern for HORMS for emmetropes across the visual field where as 4 out of 5 myopes showed a linear increase in HORMS in all directions away from the minimum. For all subjects, vertical and horizontal comas showed linear changes across the visual field. The mean rate of change of vertical coma across the vertical meridian was significantly lower (p = 0.008) for emmetropes (-0.005 ± 0.002 μm/deg) than for myopes (-0.013 ± 0.004 μm/deg). The mean rate of change of horizontal coma across the horizontal meridian was lower (p = 0.07) for emmetropes (-0.006 ± 0.003 μm/deg) than myopes (-0.011 ± 0.004 μm/deg). ---------- Conclusion: We have found differences in patterns of higher order aberrations across the visual fields of emmetropes and myopes, with myopes showing the greater rates of change of horizontal and vertical coma.
