{"title":"Use and underuse of mobility aids in individuals with visual impairment: a cross-sectional study of a Norwegian sample.","authors":"Audun Brunes, Helle K Falkenberg, Inger C Berndtsson, Trond Heir","doi":"10.1080/17483107.2022.2081735","DOIUrl":"10.1080/17483107.2022.2081735","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To examine the use and underuse of mobility aids in individuals with visual impairment.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A telephone survey including a probability sample of 736 adults who were members of the Norwegian Association of the Blind and Sighted (response rate: 61%). The interviews took place between January and May 2017, collecting information about access, use, underuse and training in five types of mobility aids (white cane, guide dog, GPS, door-to-door transport and sighted guide). For each mobility aid, we obtained data for underuse defined as non-use despite expecting benefits of use in terms of increased mobility or safety. Participants also answered questions about loneliness (Three-Item Loneliness Scale) and life satisfaction (Cantril's Ladder of Life Satisfaction).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the participants, 69% reported using at least one type of mobility aid. Use of specific aids ranged from 12% for the GPS to 52% for door-to-door transport. Estimates of underuse ranged between 14% for door-to-door transport and 28% for GPS. Underuse was not related to lack of resources, as many non-users expecting benefits had access to mobility aids and had undergone training in its use. For example, 81% of non-users of the white cane had access to a cane. In post hoc analyses, non-users who expected benefits from use had lower life satisfaction compared with users.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Many individuals with visual impairment do not use mobility aids. Strategies that help visually impaired individuals overcome barriers to the use of mobility aids may improve their sense of safety, mobility and quality of life.Implications of rehabilitationThe best mobility aids are those being used. Rehabilitation professionals involved in the provision of mobility aids should be sensitive to the user's lived experiences, and be alert of the cultural meanings of mobility aids and on disability in general.Rehabilitation professionals, social service workers and others need more knowledge of the psychosocial and cultural aspects related to why people do not use their mobility aids.A successful integration of mobility aids in people's daily life cannot be achieved by sufficient accessibility alone. Structured routines for follow-up of those who receive aids should be implemented, so that the aids are actually used.Due to the high rates of underuse and its possible relation to quality of life, promoting regular use of mobility aids should be prioritized.</p>","PeriodicalId":41834,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR SLAWISTIK","volume":"5 1","pages":"266-272"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88992225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first part contains a brief theoretical introduction into medical translation in general. It is followed by a practical analysis of problems in the translation from the source to the target language with a focus on abbreviations and defects in source texts. It describes specific problem areas and examples which occur very often in medical texts and can lead to errors in target texts. Decoding medical abbreviations and defects in source texts in the German – Slovak language pair is a very demanding job, because the use of Latin, Greek or English words and their abbreviations in medical texts is a common occurrence for doctors, but can be a source of problems and confusion for translators.","PeriodicalId":41834,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR SLAWISTIK","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136360228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of the new creation of the self is one of Benjamin Franklin’s the most popular ideas. Since the first publication of Franklin’s Autobiography the idea of self-improvement became a genuine part of the very American ideology of the self-made man. After Andrej Turgenev published his translation of Franklin’s Autobiography in Moscow in 1799, Franklin’s method went on to enjoy a widespread triumph in imperial Russia. Andrey Turgenev’s and Vasilij Zhukovskij’s diaries, Alexander Griboedov’s comedy G ore ot uma (1825) and Dmitrij Begichev’s novel Semeystvo Kholmskikh (1832) can help us to trace this Russian history of Franklin’s method and show how Russian followers of Franklin modified and adapted his concept.","PeriodicalId":41834,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR SLAWISTIK","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136360230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I analyze Szczygieł’s Czech reportages ( Gottland [2006], Zrób sobie raj [2010] and to some extent Nie ma [2018]) from the perspective of memory studies, focusing particularly on the question of taboo in collective memory and the issue of false memory (the products of the minds of individual persons or groups of people that make them sure that a certain event took place despite the fact that it never occurred), which are meant to show the untrustworthiness of memories and reminiscences. I argue that Szczygieł’s Czech reportages are to be read in the context of questions that have been vividly discussed in the Polish public sphere in recent decades: the dilemma of how to deal with the communist past after 1989 (lustration; Polish: lustracja ); and how to proceed with the referential pact when writing and reading literary nonfiction.","PeriodicalId":41834,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR SLAWISTIK","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136360346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the differences between German and Slovak criminal law it is necessary to take into account the expressive and conceptual aspects of the basic term and its position in terminology in order to choose a suitable foreign language equivalent and then compare this information with possible equivalents in German. The selection of the most appropriate equivalent must be preceded by a thorough examination of the above aspects on the basis of multiple information sources (such as professional texts, legislative texts, lexicographic publications, corpora). This procedure ensures a reliable determination of the degree of equivalence of the basic term in relation to a foreign language term and is a prerequisite for the selection of the most suitable foreign language equivalent. With regard to a detailed examination of cotextual/contextual relations, it reveals the relationship of the initial term to the related terms and thus also helps in the appropriate selection of the relevant foreign language equivalents of related terms within the terminological field. This procedure can be applied also to other terms.","PeriodicalId":41834,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR SLAWISTIK","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136360229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We adopt the view that the genitive represents an instance of structured polysemy (Nikiforidou 1991). Like Nikiforidou, we reject the opinion that the genitive instantiates accidental homonymy or shows general single meaning. Our analysis demonstrates that several meanings we identified are intricately tied to each other. There are two prototypical meanings with their several semantic extensions, the latter departing from the former. Contrary to Nikiforidou’s proposal of the genitive as a “radial category” (Lakoff 1987), we support an alternative model. In our view, structured polysemy found in the genitive is better handled by a model referred to as the “meaning chain” (Taylor 1988). Some of the meanings identified are motivated by other meanings in the chain, without directly relying on some semantic centre. Our description of the Polish genitive sheds new light on the holistic semantics of this category with allegedly only grammatical meaning.","PeriodicalId":41834,"journal":{"name":"ZEITSCHRIFT FUR SLAWISTIK","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136360348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
