Translation has gained a central importance in recent accounts of cosmopolitanism which emphasise global interdependence and the interaction between different cultures and traditions. In this context, it becomes necessary to formulate a politics of translation that questions some idealist assumptions about translation that are present in the sociological literature, specifies translation as a fundamentally ethnocentric act, and formulates relevant strategies to confront this inherent ethnocentrism in order to open up translation to the difference of the other. Such politics consists in an extension of an ethics of translation based on linguistic hospitality, so that cultural asymmetries, inequalities and conflicts at a wider social level are addressed and political and normative responses to them can be devised from a cosmopolitan perspective. In this light, the relevance of a politics of translation as an alternative to a politics of identity is approached. ; La traducción tiene una relevancia central en las teorías recientes sobre el cosmopolitismo que subrayan la interdependencia global y la interacción entre culturas y tradiciones distintas. En este contexto, es necesario formular una política de la traducción que cuestione algunos presupuestos idealistas sobre la traducción presentes en la literatura sociológica, que especifique la traducción como un acto fundamentalmente etnocéntrico y que proponga estrategias relevantes para enfrentarse a este etnocentrismo y para abrir la traducción a la diferencia del otro. Esta política consiste en la extensión de una ética de la traducción basada en la hospitalidad lingüística, de modo que permita plantear conflictos, asimetrías y desigualdades culturales a un nivel social más amplio y buscar respuestas políticas y normativas al respecto en una dirección cosmopolita. Desde esta perspectiva, también se aborda la relevancia de una política de la traducción como alternativa a una política de la identidad.

Heavy equipment vehicle (HEV) drivers often perform operations on different uneven surfaces and are exposed to whole body vibration (WBV) on a daily basis. Recently, a new version of ISO 2631-5 was published. However, since this new method required as input the individual exposure profile and the acceleration signals recorded on more surfaces, limited studies have been carried out to evaluate HEV operations according to this standard. The objectives of this study were to assess the WBV exposure using the methods defined in ISO 2631-1:1997 and ISO 2631-5:2018 and to compare the obtained health risk assessments between drivers with different anthropometric characteristics. For this purpose, two drivers were selected and a field measurement campaign was conducted. Regarding short-term assessment, results showed that VDV was the most restrictive method with exposure levels above the exposure action limit value, while SAd indicated that the same exposures were safe for the worker. With respect to long-term assessment, Risk Factor RA showed that the driver with the highest body mass index was the only one who exceeded the low probability limit of adverse health effects. ; Consejo General de la Arquitectura Tecnica (CGATE), Junta de Andalucia ; European Commission B-TEP-362-UGR18 ; State Research Agency (SRA) of Spain ; European Commission PID2019-108761RB-I00

Migrated images show the crustal structure of the orogen in detail. In particular, they reveal the situation of the subducted Iberian paleomargin, with full preservation of the proximal domain and the 50 km wide necking domain. Crustal thinning across the necking domain affects mainly the lower continental crust. The Variscan crust of the Tethys margin is bending downward beneath the Betics, reaching 45 km depth, and terminates abruptly at a major slab tear. The distal domain of the paleomargin cannot be reconstructed, but the migrated section suggests that material has been exhumed through the subduction channel and integrated into the Betic orogen. This supports an origin of the HP-LT Nevado-Filabride units from subducted, hyperextended Variscan crust. According to our profile, the present-day eastern Betics appear to have a much more significant contribution from metamorphic Iberian crust than previously thought. ; Geophysical Instrument Pool at GFZ-Potsdam - Spanish State Research Agency (SRA) PID2019-109608GB I00/SRA/10.13039/501100011033 ; Spanish Government CGL2015-67130-C2-2-R ; FEDER/Junta de Andalucia project A-RNM-421-UGR18 RNM104 ; Junta ...

[Background] Reducing the burden of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) requires large-scale deployment of intervention programmes, which can be informed by the dynamic pattern of HCV spread. In Spain, ongoing transmission of HCV is mostly fuelled by people who inject drugs (PWID) infected with subtype 1a (HCV1a). ; [Aim] Our aim was to map how infections spread within and between populations, which could help formulate more effective intervention programmes to halt the HCV1a epidemic in Spain. ; [Methods] Epidemiological links between HCV1a viruses from a convenience sample of 283 patients in Spain, mostly PWID, collected between 2014 and 2016, and 1,317, 1,291 and 1,009 samples collected abroad between 1989 and 2016 were reconstructed using sequences covering the NS3, NS5A and NS5B genes. To efficiently do so, fast maximum likelihood-based tree estimation was coupled to a flexible Bayesian discrete phylogeographic inference method. ; [Results] The transmission network structure of the Spanish HCV1a epidemic was shaped by continuous seeding of HCV1a into Spain, almost exclusively from North America and European countries. The latter became increasingly relevant and have dominated in recent times. Export from Spain to other countries in Europe was also strongly supported, although Spain was a net sink for European HCV1a lineages. Spatial reconstructions showed that the epidemic in Spain is diffuse, without large, dominant within-country networks. ; [Conclusion] To boost the effectiveness of local intervention efforts, concerted supra-national strategies to control HCV1a transmission are needed, with a strong focus on the most important drivers of ongoing transmission, i.e. PWID and other high-risk populations. ; Bram Vrancken is a postdoctoral research fellow funded by the Research Foundation Flanders - Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Vlaanderen (FWO, Flanders, Belgium).
