The chapter begins by exploring ways of working with machine-generated or machine-stored texts. Texts produced with the aid of machine translation (MT) or with the aid of translation memories (TM) can enhance productivity, but almost without exception require significant editing. In the case of MT this usually takes place at the end of the process, in the case of TM typically during the process itself. The distinction between editing and revision is reinforced through an exercise illustrating and inviting practice of the two activities using newspaper articles. Next, the chapter explores translators’ potential uses of the internet for individual or group collaborative translation, and their varying attitudes to this type of collaboration. Finally, it introduces and illustrates an approach to translation analysis known as translational stylistics

This chapter explores the remarkable impact of music and dance on individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Despite motor challenges, patients often experience improved fluidity of movement and reduced symptoms when engaging with music, particularly through dancing. This highlights the brain’s remarkable ability to compensate for impairments through rhythmic and auditory cues. The chapter looks into the therapeutic benefits of music for Parkinson’s, including improvements in gait, timing perception, mood enhancement, and dopamine release. Research demonstrates that rhythmic auditory timulation (RAS) and dance therapies can significantly improve walking patterns, balance, and overall quality of life. The chapter also discusses the profound impact of music on emotional well-being, offering a sense of joy, social connection, and self-acceptance. It emphasizes the importance of music therapy in addressing the emotional challenges often faced by Parkinson’s patients, such as depression and anxiety. The chapter concludes by providing practical recommendations for incorporating music and dance into the lives of Parkinson’s patients, encouraging them to harness the therapeutic power of these activities to enhance their physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.

The chapter starts by outlining the version of direct realism endorsed by Aristotle. I argue that he was committed to uncompromised realism about perceptible qualities and to the view that we immediately perceive the bearers of these qualities without any need of further synthetic acts. These features highlight the difficulty of capturing the explanantia of perception. Two notions key to that endeavour are those of mediation and discrimination. The chapter provides a novel analysis of mediation (for discrimination, see Chapter 6), arguing that, for Aristotle, media are – more or less perfect – qualitative conductors. Furthermore, the chapter addresses the existing debate about what, according to Aristotle, happens in the sense organs when we perceive. I argue that the dilemma governing this debate between spiritualism and materialism (either ‘literalist’ or ‘analogical’) is a false one. Tertium datur, and this alternative turns out to be precisely the view Aristotle embraced: perception consists of a thoroughly material process, but what this process results in must not be a standing material likeness (which would mark the end of perception because like cannot be affected by like), but a dynamic ‘phenomenal’ likeness – the presence of a quality of the perceived object which remains to be precisely a quality of that object.

The concluding chapter begins by summarizing the main findings of how politicians balance pressures arising from the economy, national politics, and supranational politics when they design and implement the economic policy of the European Union. With different emphasis, these pressures resurface across time and cut across the entire policy cycle, from the formation of preferences to the negotiations over legislative and executive measures, the timing and direction of reforms, and the patterns of compliance. The chapter then draws some tentative, yet interesting, insights about the effectiveness, fairness, and responsiveness of the policy. The record of effectiveness is mixed. Long-term trends appear reasonably reassuring, but these dynamics hide large cross-country differences, which, rather worryingly, characterize mainly the euro area. There are, however, no glaring indications of unfairness. Concerns about negative externalities have trumped the influence of raw economic power in implementation. Moreover, the policy is not insensitive to changes in public opinion and governmental positions. The chapter concludes by highlighting the usefulness of this theoretical framework.

Presents classification debates in psychiatry historically as a struggle between the classic perspective, which seeks to classify, and the romantic perspective, which rebels against classification. Presents the DSM-III project as an achievement of the classic perspective, which resolved one crisis only to bring forth another.
