Legal translation and ISO standards : a case study by See, Tingting

“…The results showed that ISO certified LSPs do produce legal translations of better quality. The findings also showed that patrons are willing to pay more for quality legal translation and that patrons tend to have higher expectations of legal translation which is meant to be legally binding as opposed to one for reference only.…”

Towards the prevention of pressure ulcers by Kwek, Milton Sheng Yi

“…Furthermore, experimental PU progression was prevented when Cx43asODN was administered in a more severe experimental PU model. These findings suggest that the treatment of Cx43asODN was successful in inhibiting I/R injury which resulted in the prevention of experimental PU progression.…”

Modernity and functionality: relooking changes in Chinese vernacular education in Singapore, 1919-1941 by Ho, Amanda Shi Min

“…This thesis aims to reconstruct the history of modern Chinese schools in Singapore from 1919 to 1941, reexamining what has been covered thus far in both English and Chinese scholarship of the history of Chinese vernacular education in Singapore and synthesising the findings of both strands of scholarship. This thesis also aims to look beyond the study of political time markers to draw out the possible socio-cultural and economic factors that led to these changes.…”

Island area and remoteness shape plant and soil bacterial diversity through land use and biological invasion by Xu, Mingshan, Yang, Anna, Yang, Xiaodong, Cao, Wenting, Zhang, Zengke, Li, Zengyan, Zhang, Yu, Zhang, Huaguo, You, Wenhui, Yan, En-Rong, Wardle, David A.

“…Furthermore, soil bacterial diversity was indirectly promoted by island area through increased plant diversity and decreased soil electrical conductivity, and indirectly reduced by pine forest loss through decreased plant diversity. 4. Our findings highlight that island biogeography theory has relevance to understanding human impacts in the Anthropocene, and that there is a need to more explicitly recognizing how island size and remoteness affect biodiversity not only directly, but also indirectly via their effects on human-induced drivers of biodiversity, such as land use change and biological invasion.…”

Sustainable structural design optimization - prestressed concrete beams by Ng, Kok Hang

“…The case study revealed that for an 18 m wide bridge, a 3-beam layout generates lesser overall EC than a 4-beam layout and a beam length (thus column spacing) of 20 to 26 m is likely to produce the lowest EC for the bridge system. The findings from this project can be used by structural engineers to minimise the EC emissions associated with the construction industry by prudent selection of the prestressed beam parameters during the initial design. …”

Parenting by lying and children’s lying to parents: the moderating role of children’s beliefs by Low, Petrina Hui Xian, Kyeong, Yena, Broekman, Birit, Eriksson, Johan Gunnar, Chen, Helen Yu, Setoh, Peipei

“…Exposure to white lies was associated with more child-reported lying to parents only when belief was low (B=0.28, SE=0.06, p<.001), but associated with more parent-reported lying to parents when belief was high (B=0.24, SE=0.06, p<.001). Conclusions: Our findings underscore the importance of children’s perceptions and belief in parental lies in their socialization. …”
