Real Estate Case Competitions

Real Estate is by nature a hands-on business in which real-world experience and new challenges are the best teacher. With this in mind, graduate real estate education has embraced case competitions as a way to apply education-based learning to real world project simulation. In recent years, teams from Cornell have consistently stood out in these competitions, making impressions and forming relationships that they will carry with them over their careers. In this issue of the Review, we recognize a composite of previous winners of the four major real estate-focused case competitions, and look back on what was a very successful year for case competition teams at Cornell. The case competitions draw students from all the constituent programs of Real Estate at Cornell, including the Baker Program, Johnson Graduate School of Management, City and Regional Planning, Architecture, and Landscape Architecture.

THREE AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITIONS: THE PIANO WORKS THEY COMMISSIONED BETWEEN 1962 AND 2012

Over a period of 50 years—between 1962 and 2012—three preeminent American piano competitions, the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, the University of Maryland International Piano Competition/William Kapell International Piano Competition and the San Antonio International Piano Competition, commissioned for inclusion on their required performance lists 26 piano works, almost all by American composers. These compositions, works of sufficient artistic depth and technical sophistication to serve as rigorous benchmarks for competition finalists, constitute a unique segment of the contemporary American piano repertoire. Although a limited number of these pieces have found their way into the performance repertoire of concert artists, too many have not been performed since their premières in the final rounds of the competitions for which they were designed. Such should not be the case. Some of the composers in question are innovative titans of 20th-century American music—Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, John Cage, John Corigliano, William Schuman, Joan Tower and Ned Rorem, to name just a few—and many of the pieces themselves, as historical touchstones, deserve careful examination. This study includes, in addition to an introductory overview of the three competitions, a survey of all 26 compositions and an analysis of their expressive characteristics, from the point of view of the performing pianist. Numerous musical examples support the analysis. Biographical information about the composers, along with descriptions of their overall musical styles, place these pieces in historical context. Analytical and technical comprehension of this distinctive and rarely performed corner of the modern classical piano world could be of inestimable value to professional pianists, piano pedagogues and music educators alike.

The challenge of sales competitions.

Universities in the United Kingdom do not make provision to deliver sales-ready graduates to the economy. One means of delivering sales education is participation in university sales competitions that bring together commercial sponsors, the higher education establishment and those students who may be interested in embarking upon a sales career. This paper explores the views of a sample of Edinburgh Napier University undergraduate students who completed a survey, with both multiple choice and open-ended questions, that detailed their experience in taking part in the Russ Berrie Institute (RBI) Sales Challenge competition between 2009-2014 at the Cotsakos Business Faculty of William Paterson University, New Jersey, in the United States. Ten categories of questions were asked relating to students' sales working experience, sales education, sales jobs, skills and knowledge, their preparation for the sales challenge competition process, observations during the event, post-competition reflection, and overall benefits of taking part in the sales competition process. The findings suggest that there are multiple benefits to students, business and universities from sales challenge competitions, which deliver an overall win-win-win outcome for all stakeholders.

The sources of inequity in the education system of Serbia and how to combat them

The concept of equal opportunity for all students is deeply embedded in the Serbian constitution and in education laws. On that level, there is no doubt that everyone is ensured an opportunity to receive quality education. Many measures in education policy have been created specifically to achieve this objective and make the system fair and inclusive. The Coleman Report was linked to a wave of optimism that certain educational measures would help in achieving these noble goals. This aim is a high priority in education in a democratic country, and due to its importance needs to be re-examined. Thus, the present research examines the equity of students in the Serbian education system, detecting areas on all educational levels that could be (or already are) systemic sources of inequity (e.g., criteria for preschool institution enrolment, the system of student awards, rationalisation of the school network, the concept of entrance exams to secondary school or university, etc.). A number of measures have already been taken in the system specifically to deal with inequity (e.g., the Preschool Preparatory Programme, dropout measures, inclusion, scholarships, etc.). The effects of these measures in particular are analysed in the present work. In addition to an analysis of the systemic sources of inequity in the Serbian education system, the article also makes recommendations for their overcoming. (DIPF/Orig.)

Traducción audiovisual en Serbia. Estado de la cuestión

INTRODUCCIÓN El objetivo primordial de esta tesis doctoral ha sido profundizar en el conocimiento de la historia, los traductores, los aspectos profesionales y las convenciones de la traducción audiovisual en Serbia. Los motivos de esta investigación, en primer lugar, se encuentran en mi interés por los productos cinematográficos y televisivos y por la traductología, que aumentó durante mis estudios de filología hispánica e inglesa en la Universidad de Belgrado y culminó con mis estudios de doctorado en la Traducción a Interpretación en la Universidad de Málaga. Durante mis estudios de doctorado, aparte de la historia de traducción, la traducción audiovisual (TAV) fue la modalidad de traducción a la que más atención dediqué. Este fue otro motivo para acometer esta investigación, guiada por mi deseo de conocer las características, peculiaridades y el desarrollo de estos dos campos en un determinado entorno cultural. DESARROLLO TEÓRICO Y OBJETIVOS El trabajo de investigación realizado en la presente tesis doctoral se ha centrado en describir los aspectos históricos, profesionales, técnicos, formales y traductológicos de la traducción audiovisual en Serbia. El objetivo, principal ha sido realizar un estudio descriptivo, empírico y exploratorio de la TAV en Serbia, en particular de la subtitulación de películas en inglés, del doblaje de dibujos animados, y de la traducción de documentales, según se detalla a continuación: • Estudio descriptivo: Se desarrolla a través de la observación y el análisis de un corpus de textos audiovisuales, se deducen y describen tendencias de traducción específicas de distintos géneros audiovisuales. • Estudio empírico: Consiste en observar y cuantificar las recurrencias propias de la TAV que se producen en el corpus de textos audiovisuales, previamente seleccionado por su variedad en cuanto a géneros audiovisuales, en cuanto a soportes y en cuanto a agentes implicados en el proceso • Estudio exploratorio: Se ha empleado, por tanto, una metodología de corte exploratorio y descriptivo-interpretativo, ya que se ha buscado estudiar, describir e interpretar una realidad concreta con el objetivo de mapear y detectar las normas de la traducción para el doblaje, la subtitulación y el voice-over; con carácter empírico por la obtención, tratamiento y gestión de los datos obtenidos a partir de las encuestas y de las traducciones analizadas; y con una representatividad sustantiva o sociológica, no numérica, que está motivada por el deseo de integrar en el estudio diferentes aspectos de una realidad compleja. El análisis de textos que forman el corpus de films, series, dibujos animados y documentales en el capítulo 6 ha servido para comprobar la certeza o falsedad de las hipótesis en relación con las convenciones que existen en la traducción para la subtitulación, doblaje y voice-over, y comprobar la veracidad de los datos obtenidos de los profesionales entrevistados, que han sido expuestos en los capítulos 4 y 5. CONCLUSIÓN El propósito de esta tesis doctoral ha sido realizar una primera aproximación sobre los aspectos esenciales de la TAV en Serbia, en especial de las tres modalidades que se emplean en el caso de los géneros audiovisuales más frecuentes –films, series, dibujos animados y documentales –, es decir de la subtitulación, el doblaje, y el voice-over. El análisis ha sido más detallado en el caso de la subtitulación, ya que esta es la modalidad dominante. Gracias a las entrevistas a los profesionales de la traducción audiovisual en Serbia y la bibliografía seleccionada, hemos investigado la historia de estas modalidades traductológicas, sus aspectos técnicos, formales y traductológicos y las características de su entorno profesional. Las convenciones que rigen la labor del traductor audiovisual en Serbia las hemos comprobado a través de un corpus limitado y no representativo, mediante un análisis cualitativo que nos ha servido como una especie de ‘cata’ de las normas de traducción en Serbia. En casos concretos hemos realizado análisis de orientación cuantitativa, con porcentajes que muestran la tendencia dominante en los ejemplos y textos meta seleccionados. BIBLIOGRAFÍA La bibliografía incluye el trabajo de investigación y los artículos sobre la traducción audiovisual en Serbia de la autora de esta tesis (Lukić 2007, 2009, 2010 y 2013), además de otros estudios y volúmenes que, junto con las entrevistas, ofrecen una base teórica de los aspectos de la TAV que han sido analizados a partir de un corpus. Los aspectos profesionales de la TAV en Serbia, por su parte, provienen de las entrevistas, ya que se trata de factores externos que influyen una traducción audiovisual. Actualmente, no tenemos constancia de que existan trabajos publicados de este volumen dedicados exclusivamente al tema de la Traducción Audiovisual en Serbia. Los artículos sobre la traducción en la televisión pública y en las cadenas de televisión privadas en Croacia de Nikolić (2005), y su tesis doctoral de 2011 sobre la recepción de la cultura origen a través de los subtítulos, describen un ambiente cercano al que trata este trabajo. Durante la elaboración de esta tesis fue de gran ayuda la consulta de obras de referencia sobre el doblaje y el subtitulado en España o en otros países. Las convenciones y las fases del proceso de subtitulación o doblaje descritos por autores como Díaz Cintas y Remael (2007) y Chaume (2004, 2012), aparte de ser una valiosa fuente de información utilizada a lo largo de este volumen, nos han ayudado a la hora de planificar la estructura del trabajo y diseñar las entrevistas a los profesionales. Entre otros trabajos que se han utilizado para describir los aspectos históricos de la TAV en Serbia y para elaborar una base teórica de la tesis destacamos: Slijepčević (1982), Volk (1986), Toury (1995), Pym (2009), Ivarsson (1992), Nord (1993), Gambier (1994), Venuti (1995), Zabalbeascoa (1997), Whitman (2001), Mayoral Asensio (2001), Santamaria (2001), Rodríguez Espinosa (2001), Heiss (2004), Scandura (2004), Acuña Partal y Rodríguez Espinosa (2004), Bartoll (2006), Díaz Cintas y Remael (2007), Martínez Sierra (2010), Ranzato (2011), etc.

Catches of the sport fishing competitions along the Algarve coast (Portugal): species, sizes, catch rates, and trends

Background. Stocks of many marine fishes are in decline and a number of studies suggest that for some species the impact of recreational angling may be important. To date, only recreational (leisure) fishing surveys have been conducted in Portugal, with no studies on beach angling competitions, dynamically increasing in number over the past 10 to 20 years. In view of the above, we decided to evaluate the impact of such events on the Algarve coast (southern Portugal) in terms of the abundance, diversity, and respective weight of fish species caught and outline some conservation measures and recommendations for the management of the targeted species. Materials and methods. Participants of 22 angling competitions taking place between February and June 2007 were surveyed. In each competition a random sample of anglers was interviewed, and the specimens caught by each participant were identified, weighed, and measured. Results. Thirteen taxa belonging to eight families were identified, and the most common were: garfish, Belone belone (Linnaeus, 1761); mullets, Mugilidae (not identified); and mackerels, Scomber spp. A total of 563 specimens were sampled, totalling 75.4 kg of weight, with the average catch per angler weighing 0.5 +/- 0.05 SE (n = 153) kg. Differences were also observed between the length at first maturity (L(50)) of the specimens caught and their respective Minimum Landing Size (MLS) and Allowed Minimum Size (AMS), most particularly in the case of the European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax (L.), with almost all individuals caught measuring below the species-specific L50. Analysis of time series of competition results (1996-2009) showed no evidence of a decrease in catches or in mean weight. Conclusion. Based on the results we propose that the AMS for beach angling competitions should be increased to the MLS in order to prevent the capture of juvenile fishes, especially the sea bass. Future studies should address the size selectivity of the hooks used in beach competitions, with a view to the implementation of a minimum hook size for competitions.

The EU’s foreign policy towards the Western Balkans during the Juncker Commission. The cases of Bosnia Herzegovina and Serbia.

In February 2018, four years after the President of the Commission Jean Claude Juncker explicitly deprioritised the enlargement dossier, the European Commission relaunched the enlargement strategy to the region of the Western Balkans. This occurred despite the persistent polarisation around the topic among the EU Member States and the still-present struggles, when not outright regression, of some of the countries in pursuing the demanded reforms. This thesis carries out a multilevel foreign policy analysis of EU foreign policy toward the region of the Western Balkans during the period of the Juncker Commission, through the cases of Bosnia Herzegovina and Serbia. Drawing from Actorness theory (Bretherton and Vogler 2006), combined with perspectives from new institutional leadership (Smeets and Beach 2020), and new intergovernmentalism (Moravcsik 2018; Bickerton et al. 2015), this study seeks to explain the relaunch of enlargement by examining three dimensions: the international context and the role of non-EU actors such as China, Russia, and Turkey; the EU context, through the interaction of the significant EU Member States and Institutions; finally, the local context, through the analysis of the changes in the local perception of the EU and the considered non-EU actors. This study posits two interconnected points: first, that the changes in the international context, specifically the increased presence of non-EU actors such as China, Russia, and Turkey in the region, acted as triggering factors for the relaunch of the strategy. In addition, it argues that this relaunch was successful due to the peculiar combination of Germany’s interests and leadership within the Council, coupled with the Commission’s priorities.
