Acting in the capacity as both official sworn translators and university professors, we have been witnessing to the issue that legal documents are troublesome specialised instruments with a relevant rate of paired expressions. The same could be said of Divorce Decrees, either issued in the UK or in the US, since they provide us with a significant diversity of doublet and triplet expressions. Hence, they pose a threat for translation trainees, and even for professional translators, since they can resort to somewhat literal translations that might not prove as fluent as the source text.

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) have emerged as a significant advancement in modern power distribution systems, enabling integrating renewable energy sources and energy storage solutions to enhance the network performance. However, disasters, including natural calamities, introduce substantial management challenges for DERs, often resulting in infrastructure failures, resource overutilization, and disruptions to critical services. Overcoming these challenges requires developing optimal, self-aware architectures capable of managing DER integration and dispatch operations in real-time.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an information booklet in enhancing the knowledge of staff nurses regarding cholelithiasis and its Spyglass treatment.

The frequency of rerun of any stock consistently fluctuates due to the competing forces of supply and demand responding to changes in the share prices by investors. Historically, gold prices have generally produced favourable returns during both challenging and thriving times, positioning gold as a means for safeguarding and enhancing wealth. In this study, we present a Bayesian Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (GARCH) volatility model for daily gold price returns based on the most recent 2500 daily prices.

This paper attempts to study the roles of a client, other than buyer and/or final consumer, in a coopetitive activity between alternative transport VSB. Our approach is constructivist with a mixed quali-quanti methodological approach. We adopt inductive reasoning. The primary data were collected from a 22-question questionnaire administered face-to-face to 335 clients at the place where the activity was based. Multivariate qualitative comparative analysis (mvQCA) was used to model these client roles.
