False friends in english‐Spanish translations in computer science literature
(Taylor & Francis, 1998) Sabaté Carrové, Mariona; Chesñevar, Carlos Iván
False friends constitute a source of error for learners of a language and for translators. However, false friends are constantly created either as loan words or as words which share a common derivation. This article investigates the phenomenon of false friends from a positive perspective in order to establish a classification towards a descriptive study of computer‐related translations of English into Spanish. Our immediate aim is to show to what an extent false friends is a widespread phenomenon when a word is borrowed from another language, or when two culturally and historically‐related languages such as English and Spanish interact. Therefore our main task is to make the most of the semantic and pragmatic information provided by false friends and analyse actual ocurrences of false friends in computer magazines as well as in Computer Science textbooks. As a result, different categories of false friends could be established (we illustrate each of them with several examples). In the course of the analysis of this phenomenon, we point out reasons which may lead to the occurrence of false friends in English‐Spanish translations. We will also discuss why false friends should not be just seen as a ‘funny’ feature in translations.

Valors educatius dels estudiants de treball social/serviço social. Enfocament comparatiu; Lleida (Catalunya-Espanya) i Leiria (Portugal)
(CIDUI Congrés Internacional de Docència Universitària i Innovació, 2025) Blavia, Carolina; Kovačević Kuč, Lana
Aquest estudi analitza els valors dels estudiants de Treball Social de la Universitat de Lleida (UdL) i de l’Institut Politècnic de Leiria – Portugal (IPL) mitjançant el qüestionari de Schwartz. Els resultats mostren diferències culturals moderades en les quatre dimensions estudiades: auto-transcendència, auto-millora, obertura al canvi i conservació. Els estudiants de Portugal obtenen puntuacions lleugerament més altes en auto-transcendència i conservació, mentre que els d’Espanya destaquen en obertura al canvi. Auto-millora presenta puntuacions baixes en ambdós grups. Aquestes diferències tenen implicacions en les intervencions formatives. Es proposa treballar els valors des d’una perspectiva educativa i pràctica per preparar els futurs professionals per als reptes socials, alineant amb l’ODS Nº 16.

Avoiding the Production of Polluting and Toxic Chemicals in the Tanning Process
(The American Leather Chemists Association, 2021) Morera Prat, Josep M.; Bartolí, Esther; Rojas, Patrícia; Cabeza, Luisa F.
Polluting and potentially toxic chemicals are used in tanning. Sodium sulfide/hydrosulfide are used when the hides are unhaired. These chemicals can be transformed into hydrogen sulfide with a simple change of pH. This gas is highly toxic and is the recurring cause of many deaths and accidents due to suffocation of workers in tanneries around the world. The basic salts of chromium III are the most used chemical to tan. The chromium III used can be transformed by oxidation, even once the leather transformed into a consumer good (shoes, for example), in chromium VI, which is carcinogenic. Both chemicals are present in process floats, in residual floats and in solid waste generated. Chromium III is also present in manufactured leathers. This article aims to describe the problems associated with the use of the aforementioned hazardous materials and deepen the possibility of using less toxic alternative processes to tan. The designed process allows to significantly reduce the pollutant load of the discharged wastewater, facilitates the reuse of the solid waste generated and clearly improve the safety of people at work.

A Bibliometric Study of the Unhairing and Liming of the Leather Tanning Process
(The American Leather Chemists Association, 2022) Morera Prat, Josep M.; Bartolí, Esther; Cebollada, Patrícia; Cabeza, Luisa F.
Unhairing and liming are the most polluting operations of the leather tanning process. Over the years, this sector has been investigated increasingly. Hence, this paper aims to explore and analyze the scientific activity of this field of research with a new view, applying bibliometrics techniques. The method of the study is based on a search and collection of publications indexed in Scopus. Subsequently, bibliometric data were extracted from the corresponding publications. Graphics and bibliometric maps were made to obtain quantitative results and the relationships between countries, authors, journals, and keywords. The results show an upward trend over the last 100 years or so, where the topic of most of the publications has reversed from being purely about engineering and process to focus on the big environmental issue generated by traditional unhairing. At the same time, research in this field has shifted to countries with the biggest tanning industry, such as China and India. In conclusion, bibliometrics has been a good method to know the current state of scientific literature and the timeline of this field of research, which will allow for a deepening in alternative methods to traditional unhairing and advance of the environmental concern caused by these polluting operations.
