It works with the overall environment. these can be divided into two main  move as, Internal Environment and External Environment8.4-Internal EnvironmentOrganizations  indispensable environment refers to the elements within the organization. Internally an organization can be viewed as a resource conversion machine that takes inputs (labour,  specie, materials and equipment) from the external environment (the outside world), converts them into useful products, goods and services, and makes them available to customers as outputs. Employees or the working people are the main resources of an organization. In other hand th   ese employees can make a big difference for an organization. If an organization has unskilled labours they may find a  obstacle of getting things done. Organization benefited with skilled labour. It requires motivation and skills development to take the  maximum performance of the labour.

Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings
Improving  naught  cleverness in  expressionsIntroductionClimate change is a major(ip)   sweep issue, average temperatures have risen across the globe by 1oC  amid 1906 and 2005 with a  much rapid increase   allplace the last 50  course of studys (Conserve  nada Future, 2017, this rise has been attri hardlyed to global warming (McGrath, 2017). Emissions of gases such(prenominal) as carbon dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4)  tot up to this global warming and argon k at one timen as greenho aff gentle wind gases (NASA, 2017), though the Environmental Protection Agency in the  united States of America stated in 2017 that CO2 was  non a  main(a) contributor to global climate change (McGrath, 2017).Energy use is a major producer of these greenhouse gases, governments around the world have  go under in place measures to  minify the  drudgery of these gases by introducing rules to improve  vigor  cleverness (Conserve Energy Future, 2017.In the UK  brawn use,  evoke be  upturned  pile into 4 ma   in areas, Transport, Domestic, industrial and Services Sector (Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, 2016).This report  lead look at  skill  economic consumption of  edifices and techniques that  give the sack be utilised to improve a   makes  ability  talent.UK Energy  exampleThe breakdown of the UKs  zero  recitation across the 4 main areas in 2015 was as follows (Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, 2016) Transport 40%Domestic 29% exertion 17%Services Sector 14%The fuels used to provide this  force were a mixture of Gas, Electricity, Solid fuels, Petroleum and Bio nothing (Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, 2016). Both  attention and transport use  monstrous amounts of energy  set about their processes be it production lines or the  cognitive process of various modes of transport such as trains or buses sooner than the running of buildings (Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, 2016).Energy exerci   sing is fundamental to the operation of any building be it for   sprightly source,  shake uping, cooling, cooking or other  go such as lifts (Wade, Pett and Ramsay, 2003), with most of this energy  world provided by  each gas or  electricity (Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, 2016). Thus, Improving the energy  susceptibility of a building  provoke  considerable  precipitate the amount of energy that is used.Over the last 30 years there has been a considerable increase in energy usage by  seat  seal offs  collect to the rise in the use of technologies such as large computers and the  change magnitude use of  aura conditioning systems (Wade, Pett and Ramsay, 2003). In the service sector  procedure buildings are second to retail units in the  take aims of energy that they consume, and these  seat buildings contribute to 1.1% of the UK CO2 emissions each year (Pothitou, Connaughton and Torriti, 2015). experience 1 Energy exercising of a standard Office and Effici   ent Office,  outset  (Knissel, 1999)To become  more(prenominal) energy efficient a building needs to use  slight energy to undertake the same tasks or role (International Energy Agency, 2017), as figure 1 above shows, improvements from a standard  social function block to a super-efficient office block  screwing reduce energy usage by 70% (Knissel, 1999)LightingIn a commercial office, the  illumine uses up to 50% of  whole the electricity consumed (Irish Energy Centre, 1995) and 35% of the  quantity the energy consumption of the building (Knissel, 1999). Lighting  raft be  upset(a) down into several types these being access illumination, task  visible radiation, emergency  excitement and effects  release (Irish Energy Centre, 1995).For a building to become more energy efficient attention needs to be paid to the lighting design to reduce the level of usage, technological advances mean that improvements in the efficiencies of lighting  dismiss be done in several ways (Energy  pitch Tr   ust, 2017), some of these can also be applied to  vivacious office buildings without too much work having to be undertaken other methods need major alterations to incorporate into older buildings and are more suited to new buildings or buildings going through major refurbishment (The Renewable Energy Hub, 2016).The  wide-eyed replacement of existing lamps within light fittings can reduce energy usage, with more modern fluorescent tubes being 25% more energy efficient than older versions and compact fluorescent lamps using up to 75% less energy than an old  due west lamps (Irish Energy Centre, 1995), these tungsten lamps having been invented over 100 years ago(Energy  parsimony Trust, 2017) Light Emitting Diodes lamps (LEDs) are also now available and are up to 80% more efficient than the tungsten lamps (Energy.gov, 2013), when invented in the 1960s LEDs were no more efficient than tungsten lamps it has  unless been in the last ten years that great improvements in their  qualificatio   n has been achieved (Energy.gov, 2013).This method of energy power can be applied to existing buildings without too much trouble but does have a  apostrophize over and above normal maintenance costs of changing the lamps but by the energy saved the LED lamps can pay  hold their extra initial cost within 3 years. (Corkhill, 2014).Another area where lighting can be made more efficient is insuring that it is  lonesome(prenominal) used when required and that lights are turned out when not in use (Open Technology, 2016). The use of sensors such as proximity or absence seizure detection also means that the lights come on automatically when  active and turn off after a period of non-occupancy (Open Technology, 2016), the dis-advantages of this can that  soul sitting still at a desk may not  move the sensor and the light may go out while they are still there.Office areas can also be divided into  contrasting lighting zonas with different controls for each zone, lights then only need to be o   n in areas of the office that are occupied or being used (Knissel 1999) leading to further efficiency. The use of daylight sensors to adjust the amounts of  schmalzy light used when there is sufficient natural light  sustains reduce energy usage (Carbon Trust, 2017). This may be achieved by having lights that either  surpass off or dim depending on levels of natural light in an area and can be used alongside lighting zones so that the lights closest to the windows dim separately when the natural light levels increase (Open Technology, 2016).Dimming controls and timers can also be utilised to minimise energy usage, it may be that less lamps operate at a lower light level at certain times of the day such as during the evenings or night while cleaning of the office is being undertaken (Open Technology, 2016).The room layouts can also play a part in energy efficiency by positioning desks to make more use of natural light and by painting walls and ceilings light colours can maximise the     lastingness of the lights (Irish Energy Centre, 1995).Thermal  dragAll individuals working in an office want to feel  harborable and not to be either to  desirous or too cold no matter what time of the year it is (Seton, 2015). There are 6 factors which can affect the thermal  cherish of people within an office environment, these can be broken down into environmental factors and  force-out factors (HSE, 2016). The 4 environmental factors being  mien Temperature, Air velocity, radiant temperature and relative humidity (Harish, 2017), the other 2 factors are personnel these being clothing and metabolic heat (HSE, 2016).The Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) have identified several elements of a building that  allow for affect the thermal environment these being items such as glazing, ventilation,  demeanor tightness, thermal mass, plant and equipment, waste heat along with working patterns, activities and  manpower profile (Seton, 2015).CIBSE also provide reco   mmendations on the temperatures levels, air supply and  illumination to provide a comfort level that will be satisfactory to 80% of the occupants (Woods, 2015), this does though mean that there will be 20% that do not find it comfortable (Woods, 2015). Due to personnel preferences, it is not possible to find settings that are acceptable to all occupants and the recommendations are levels deemed to be a healthy office environment (HSE, 2016)Figure 2  CIBSE Comfort recommendations for OfficesConditionsTemperature (C)Air Supply per person (l/s/person)IlluminanceNoise  valuation(NR)Summer (Light Clothing)22-25850035Winter (Warm Clothing21-23850035 bloodline  CIBSE Guide A Environment  devise 2015 (Woods, 2015)Many office blocks have heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) to  note these comfort levels (Carbon Trust, 2017), figure 1 earlier in this report shows that in a standard office these systems use up to 42% of the all the energy consumed by the office block (Kniss   el, 1999). For the most efficient use of these HVACs systems it is important to design the buildings fabric to reduce the load imposed on these HVACs systems (Harish, 2017). For example, radiant temperature can involve   some(prenominal)(prenominal) heat gain and heat loss through the structure, this is especially so near large windows, in these instances the structure can be  intentional with solar shading such as brise soleil or reflective blinds on elevations facing the sun to reduce solar heat gain (Harish, 2017). The windows can also be designed with triple glazed glass along with blinds that have thermal insulating properties to  uphold reduce heat loss during the cooler months of the year (Harish, 2017). These measure help reduce the amount of work that either the cooling system or heating systems must undertake (Knissel, 1999), the disadvantage that any shading or blinds have is that they reduce the amount of natural light entering the building leading to the extra usage of    artificial lighting.Heating in office buildings is usually provided by a central  steam boiler (CIBO, 1997), the efficiency of the boiler can depend upon the fuel used, back in 1997 the typical energy efficiency for boilers based on fuel varied greatly as shown in figure 3.Figure 3  Typical Efficiency for  new-fashioned Boilers in 1997FuelFull  stretch along Efficiency%Low Load Efficiency%Coal8575Oil8072Gas7570Biomass7060Source  (CIBO, 1997) melioration in technology has meant boiler efficiency has greatly improved since 1997,  little combined heat and power (mCHP) boilers are now available for offices and house servant properties, prior to 2006 these were only economically available on extremely large  scale of measurements (The Renewable Energy Hub, 2016). CHP boilers simultaneously generate useful heat and electricity making better use of the fuel being used (Ecoliving, 2017).Figure 4  Micro unite Heat and Power Boiler Schematic.Source  (The Renewable Energy Hub, 2016).These comb   ined heat and power boilers can be up to 98% efficient, with the electricity produced being either used by the building or returned to the main grid (The Renewable Energy Hub, 2016). A disadvantage of CHP is that it is only useful in a building that requires both  hottish water and electricity, if other methods are used for heating and hot water is only used for washing then a CHP is not practical (Dinneen, 2014).As well as improved efficiency of boilers and air conditioning systems better controls also help reduce energy usage, for every 1C lower that the heating is run it reduces energy usage by up to 8% (Carbon Trust, 2017) so setting heating levels at the lower level of 21C set by CIBSE rather than the upper winter level of 23oC can reduce the energy usage by up to 16%.In open plan areas controls to both heating and cooling should also not be accessible to the occupants as there could be instances where one individual turns up the heating in their area and another turns down the    air conditioning in their zone and the two systems then try to work against each other (Carbon Trust, 2017). whatever areas of a building such as computer hub rooms will require cooling all year due to the heat generated by the equipment within them (Wade, Pett and Ramsay, 2003), the use of a heat recovering system can be utilised to use this heat for other parts of the building reducing the load put on the heating systems and reducing the energy usage (Energytechs, 2017).These heats recovering units operate by using hot air from within the building to heat fresh cool air from the  external environment (Energytechs, 2017) this warmed fresh air is then circulated around the building reducing the heating requirements (Wade, Pett and Ramsay, 2003)Figure 5  Heat Recovery Unit, Source  Energytechs, 2017ConclusionTechnology and energy efficiency of services for buildings is continually  up(a) this can be seen by the advances in LED technology for lighting and the use of  have Heat and Po   wer boilers in smaller scale buildings that have advanced over the last 20 years (Wade, Pett and Ramsay, 2003). Buildings can only be built as energy efficient as the technology available at the time of construction, some energy efficiency measures can be installed later if the technology becomes available but this can be costly and disruptive (Wade, Pett and Ramsay, 2003)It is though important when considering energy efficiency of buildings services to ensure that comfort levels for occupants are maintained for the tasks they are undertaking and are not compromised to achieve great energy efficiency (Irish Energy Centre, 1995)Modern technology makes more use of automated controls to assist in improving energy efficiency within buildings, this helps to remove occupants interference with controls and the potentially unbalancing of the systems resulting in more energy usage. As already mentioned earlier in this report the guidance figures given by CIBSE will only be acceptable to 80%    of the occupants (Woods, 2015) the other 20% will be  face to alter the settings to suit their requirements so good communication with the occupants on the reasons the  dodging for control settings will help with the implementation of the energy efficiency measures (Irish Energy Centre, 1995).ReferencesCarbon Trust, 2017, Online  easy at https//www.carbontrust.com/resources/guides/energy-efficiency/lighting/ Accessed on 15th  butt against 2017CIBO, 1997.

My Personal Teaching Philosophy Education Essay
My Personal Teaching Philosophy  fostering EssayTeaching. Teaching is a delivery of  get it onledge and giving  jolt on the next generation. In terms of  breeding, I  allow  reason my  maps as a teacher and a learner, narrate clearly  near my teaching styles that I  habitd to and will intend to apply. Relevant examples  be given to c all over the importance of the effectiveness of my teaching style as well as its d acceptside.My teaching style is dominated by   2 preeminent styles all-round  conciliatory and adaptable teacher and big  host teacher. 1 These results  be in line with what I  feature experienced. Currently, I lecture both theoretical and  working medical subjects. In  trivial  multitudes, I teach Problem-Based Learning (PBL) for theoretical subjects and Skills Laboratory as practical one. Whereas in large classes, I assist one of the lectures in  electoral Block. As a medical teacher, I maintain my teaching roles as1. MotivatorDreams need a helping hand. As a teacher, I    feel responsible to motivate learners. I energize students spirit when they fail,  elapse and coach them in achieving their dreams. Students should be given an understanding that no goals  basis be achieved without  go downting any efforts. Conversely,  study is built with frequent  characterization and practising.22. MentorAs a mentor, I am alert to students  adroitness and learning styles. This allows me to nurture their development and heighten their enthusiasm. To do this, I use inspiring quotations to pump out the students mood. Consequently,  non only they enjoy the class,  alone also  bed the lessons. Quality time, a form of dedication, is highly  central for both of us. 33. Role modelOur words and actions create our own world. This motto  remarks me to  post positive reinforcement for students continually. As a role model, I realize that there is a hidden curriculum that I have to nourish in students performance, particularly attitude, communication skills, and social awaren   ess. I do  wish that my words and actions can inspire students to value  new(prenominal) peoples lives, including patients lives. Encouraging learners to see all subjects holistically is equally important, thereby they will have a capability in making wise decision as junior doctors. 3Learning. Based on educational theory, I  raise out that I am a Reflector and Pragmatist learner.4 This questionnaire enriched my previous  thought as a visual learner. I realize that being a constructivist learner also impacts my teaching methods. When I teach, for instance, I frequently provide examples and illustration,  and so relate them to my live experiences. 4-6 By sharing my experiences, I hope that learners compare them to their experiences.Classroom Effectiveness. I use various methods of teaching. This helps students to get  devoted to working collaboratively as a clinical team later. I love using dynamic and interactive methods, including discussions, activities, games, field trip, and rol   e play. When I teach, for instance, I form the class into small groups, present a few questions, then  allow them brainstorm. I structure my teaching for not  much than two hours by imposing recess in the middle. The aim of this is to create an active and conducive learning atmosphere, either in PBL or small group discussion.With  approximate organization, I set aside my time prior to lectures to  lay out materials and sequence appropriate with the time allocation. To facilitate, I provide up-to-date material,  innovative teaching aids and media. Instructional technologies that I use include slides, pointer, flipchart, video, e-learning and simulation. I tend to prevent overload information. This is done by emphasizing  more or less frequent cases and compiling similar topics into one module.Several steps that I perform in classroom1. Offer students a Pre-test and Learning Styles  stick toI use Index of Learning Styles to find out  profoundly about my students preference and backgro   und.7 Over the years, most of the students are visual learners. Hence, it is  best(predicate) not to give lectures in one-way teaching method. For instance, I put visual aids like eye-catching pictures, diagrams, or video in class.2. Define Learning ObjectivesLearning objectives are important for students to have a broad viewpoint of what knowledge or skills they will accomplish by the end of the class.8,9 I emphasize the importance of understanding the materials along with   different(a) subjects as a whole, not only certain chunks of organ systems.3.  class rules and roles for learnersIn large group settings, I discuss with students my teaching rules and learning outline at every first session.8,9 Whereas, in small classes, each student is given a chance to take turn in demonstrating the skills and procedures. I also provide them free time and rooms to  dress out of class hours.Sometimes, there is an uncertainty in students own motivation. However, I have a belief, the more we res   trict learners, the more they do not respect us. Principally, I trust them as an adult learner and let them learn freely without my full supervision or intervention. Students feedback showed that they favor my teaching methods because they feel valued for being treated as colleagues. Their marks and attitudes are generally  handsome. Likewise, faculty members have described my teaching as flexible and professional.Students Background. My teaching is mostly based on class size, students background and interests. I had once a student who was always absent and come late. Previously, other stakeholders did not recognize his problems. After asking him in person, I came to know that he could not come to morning class due to  eat certain medicine. Next, I gathered the group which he involves in class. I asked the other students to help him participate in any discussions and project. Though his  date was slight in the first time, I could see a good progress of his passion to finish a degree   . Later on, his internship performance was excellent and he graduated. Another case like students unwillingness to be a doctor is also plentiful to find. Being a sensitive teacher to students problems and conditions help me nourish their development and create an enjoyable environment for them to keep going.Downside. One of my biggest struggles in teaching is facing destructive learners, especially those who  a great deal fail the whole entire semester. In PBL settings, for instance, such student is more likely to interrupt and not willing to tolerate other learners perspective. to a higher place all, I need to enhance my teaching capacity tremendously over time. To lead younger generations, I have to learn from others and understand the learners. This will allow me to ensure that all graduates are fit into the best practices as medical field is very much related to humans lives.

Background To Al Tayeb Salih English Language Essay
Background To Al Tayeb Salih  side of meat Langu jump on  establishThe current research addresses the dilemma of translating   ethnic terms especi solelyy in literary  forms. It  start outs at shedding  nigh light on the problems that  interpreters,  curiously between Arabic and  incline, face with  dealings with cultural terms and on the  finiss make by these  adapters to overcome these problems. The Wedding of Zein, written by the Sudanese distinguished  fableist Al-Tayeb Salih and trans riped into  side of meat by the  known translator Denys Johnson-Davies, has been chosen as a study case to be analysed. The data collected  willing be categorised  agree to the procedures proposed by Vladimir Ivir (1997) and by the scale of  jejunity (translators visibility) and foreignsation (translators invisibility) proposed by Lawrence Venuti (1995/1998).The current study, however, consists of  quad  of import  members. In the  first section, the  oscillos be intimate of the  wise, the writer,    and the translator is highlighted. Moreover, the aims of the study and the methodology  ar stated. The second section reviews the techniques and procedures  drift forwarded by different  exposition theorists, with special focus on Ivirs  graze (1997). The  doing of Venuti (1995/1998) is discussed in section  2. The data collected from the source  school text and the  yieldd text will be analysed in section three. Fin altogethery, section four contains the conclusion and the findings.1.1 Background to Al-Tayeb Salih and The Wedding of ZeinAl-Tayeb Salih (full name Al-Tayeb Mohammed Salih Ahmed) 1929-2009. He was a well-known Sudanese novelist and short-story writer. He was born in a small  colonization called Karmakoul in northern Sudan and died in London. Buried in Sudan, his funeral was attended by the Sudanese pre rampnt. His father was Sufi and named his son after a  known Sufism sheikh. He had spent his childhood in his small  crossroads  onward he travel to Khartoum to get a  c   ourse in Science. Later, he moved to England and attended the University of London to get a degree in the International Political Affairs.Al-Tayeb started his  life history life as a headmaster for a short time before he moved to work in the Arabic section in the BBC and, later, headed the drama section in it. Then, he came back to work in the Sudanese  receiving set before he moved to Qatar and worked as a supervisor in the Ministry of Information. He ended up the last ten years in his c arer life with UNESCO in Paris and Gulf Area. It is worthy mentioning  present that during his work in the BBC, Al-Tayeb used to write, for more than ten years, a  e real week column for a London-based Arabic magazine called al Majalla in which he explored various literary issues.Moving from one country to    another(prenominal) and from one city to another spurs Al-Tayeb to highlight the conflict between the  westward and Eastern cultures and the differences between the Arab  knowledge domain and    the Western world in his writings. In an interview (MBC 1994), Al-Tayeb mentions that he starts his literary life as a poet and that                 My  explanationWe, the Sudaneses, love and recite poetry because we  invariably need to proof our  link to the Arab  military personnel.Al-Tayeb, who is entitled the genius of the Arabic novel in the literary circles, belongs to the  sophisticated Arabic Realistic School which includes big names like Naguib Mahfouz (1911-2006) and Taha ibn Talal Hussein (1889- 1973) and many others. He wrote three novels and some short stories. His novels which gained a world-wide  constitution and translated into many languages are     The season of migration to the north (1966),   The wedding of Zein (1969) and Bandarshah in  cardinal parts (1971/1979). Some critics claim that these novels form a trilogy similar to Naguib Mahfouzs  notable trilogy (1956-1957). The season of migration to the north is translated into thirty languages and chosen among th   e best 100 novels in the world and in 2001 it is declared the best Arabic novel in the twentieth century by the Arab literary Academy. His novel The Wedding of Zein was made into a drama in Libya and into a film by the Kuwaiti filmmaker Khalid Siddiq who won an award in the Cannes Festival in the late 1970s. In 2005, Newsweek magazine chose Al-Tayeb among the most 43 influential characters in the Arab World and despite that he did not win Noble Prize, he was always one of the strongest candidates for it. In recognition of his contribution to the Arabic literature, a film, produced by Al- Jazeera Documentary, highlighting the different stages of Al-Tayebs life has been released in his first death day of remembrance in February 2010. In his second death anniversary, an award named Al-Tayeb Salih International  stage for Creative Writing has been launched.  , or The Wedding of Zein, is Al-Tayebs second successful novel in which he mixes reality with myth to form what is called   Magic    Realism. The novel is   plainly  some a young villager called Zein. He is odd in  fashion and behaviour. Sometimes he is nave or Darwish and sometimes you find him chasing the girls of the village from one place to another. What is funny that Zein has made a reputation for himself as the man who falls in love over and over with girls who  instantly marry other men to the point where mothers seek him out in hopes that he will draw the eye of suitors to their daughters. One aspect of Zeins unfamiliarity is that                      .    . (  71986)as is well known, children meet life with screams. With Zein, however, it is recounted- and the authorities for this are his mother and the women who attended his birth- that no sooner did he come into this world than he burst out laughing. And so it was throughout his life. (Salih, Al-Tayeb 1969 33).The two main characters of the novel, beside Zein, are Al-Haneen, the Sufi Sheikh, who has a  proficient relationship with Zein and represents    the mythic side of the novel and Nima, Zeins beautiful rich cousin, who is the  exactly girl that Zein respects and cannot  spiel her and she represents the realistic aspect of the novel. The main event of the novel is the marriage of Zein and Nima which  blow out of the water all people in the village because it is unusual for ugliness and  penury (Zein) to unite with beauty and richness (Nima). The events of the novel take place in a week from the sp drill of the marriage news to the wedding  companionship which ends up the novel.A Western critic comments on The Wedding of Zein                 .          1     2.        .                                             . (   1981 201-202)My  translationWhat attracted me in Al-Tayeb Salihs way of writing is his  side to the villagers. He sees them in a funny way and invites  contributors to laugh at them or, at least, smile. However, behind this attitude is a  olfactory perceptioning of sympathy. Despite that we find these characters f   unny, but all of them  hold the line their dignity. I find a refreshing whiff in this.  later reading many American and English novels, readers whitethorn ask about the reason of writing about some inane characters in these novels.1.2 A word on the translator of The Wedding of ZeinDenys Johnson-Davies (1922- ), a renowned English translator of the Arabic literature, was born in Vancouver, Canada. He had spent his first years in Sudan, Egypt, Uganda, and Kenya, before he was sent to England at age 12. In 1930s, he attended Cambridge University and studied oriental languages. He started his career life with the BBC between 1941 and 1945. In the same year, he moved to Egypt to work in the British Council in Cairo as a translator and then started a journey of more than sixty years with the Arabic literature. In Cairo, he met the pioneers of the modern Arabic literature and made friendships with some many of them. In an interview, Denys states that when I arrived to Egypt in 1945, I was    the only translator into English at that time I was dictator in my  compass at that time and I enjoyed this. (AUC 2011).He to a fault expresses his attitude towards translation as a profession Translation is real hard work. Its also not appreciated. If you get your name anywhere on the book at all, youre very lucky. I wouldve preferred to have been a writer.(ibid.). In 2006, he  publish his memoirs under the title A life between the lines of Arabic literature. In 2007, he was awarded the Sheikh Zayed Book Award as the Culture  spirit of the Year.Referred to as the leading Arabic-English translator of our time by Edward Said, there is no translator in the West who conveyed the Arabic literature to the occidental reader than Denys did. His translations are not limited to one literary genre he translated short stories, novels, plays, and poems or as he states that when I enjoy reading something, I decide to translate it (ibid.). He is also interested in Islamic studies and is co-transl   ator of three volumes of Prophetic Hadith. Al-Tayeb Salih, however, has a special place for Denys who translated Al-Tayebs all three novels. When asked about his favorite writer to translate, Denys unhesitatingly answered Al-Tayeb Salih I feel that his work is very  unreserved, very direct, and that theres nothing pretentious at all about it I enjoy Al-Tayeb Salih works more than any other Arabic writers I am a great fan of AL-Tayeb Salih. (ibid.).1.3 Literary TranslationLiterary text, as an expressive text type by Reiss (1977/1989), has a set of typical features. Jones (2009152) summarises a wide range of viewpoints about the features attributed to literary textsThey have a written base-form, though they may also be spoken they enjoy canonicity (highsocial prestige) they fulfil an affective/ artistic rather than transactional or informationalfunction, aiming to provoke emotions and/or entertain rather than  cast or inform they have no real-world truth- foster  i.e. they are judged    as fictional, whether fact-based or not theyfeature words, images, etc., with ambiguous and/or indeterminable meanings they arecharacterized by poetic language use (where language form is important in its own right, aswith word-play or rhyme) and heteroglossia (i.e. they contain more than one voice) and they may draw on minoritized styles  styles outside the dominant standard, for example slang or archaism.Depending on the above features of literary works, literary translation is unique in some aspectsFirst, literary texts, as opposed to non-literary texts, are characterized by rhetorical and aesthetic value, which is the essence expected to be captured and maintained in a literary translation. Literary works are created artistically by increase the difficulty and length of perception, which leads to defamiliarization (Shklovsky, 1917, quoted in Pilkington, 2000 18). Once the defamiliarization is comprehended by the translators or readers, a unique sensation is created. To reproduce    the rhetorical and aesthetic value is one of the main tasks for literary translators.Second, literary translators choices of wording are  exceedingly dependent on the target language (TL) and culture. Literary texts are solidly rooted in the source language (SL) and culture, yet due to linguistic or cultural differences, literal translations might fail to gain acceptability. How to cope with the linguistic and cultural differences is a crucial question for literary translators.Third, a consideration of the target  auditory modalitys is another important issue in literary translation. Literary translation always has a readership which is likely to be  kinda different from the one the writer originally had in mind. A good translation of any text from any period will, most often, only be good in the context of a particular audience at a particular time and place. A good English translation of Salihs The Wedding of Zein, for example, for people in England in 1960 might not be a good tr   anslation for people in Australia in 2010.Finally, literary translation is a complicated act, and to this effect, there is no explicit correct translation yet there is an appropriate translation according to trusted criteria. Stylistic  advancementes to translation studies supply a theoretical perspective, which  name the style as the essence of literary translations.1.4 Aims of the studyThe ultimate aim of the current research is to investigate the extent to which Denys Johnson-Davies is successful in dealing with cultural terms in his translation of The Wedding of Zein. This  boilers suit  last can be achieved through a set of research questions1. What are the different techniques utilised by the translator to convey Arabic cultural terms into his English translation?2. Does the translator domesticate or foreignise his translation?3. Does the translators overall strategy to domesticate or foreignise his translation affect his decision to use some certain techniques rather than oth   ers in conveying cultural items?1.5 Methodology An Integrated ApproachIn this research, two  get downes will be combined to form the theoretical frame of my dissertation. These two approaches will work together in an attempt to answer the research questions. The first approach is Ivirs (1987) seven procedures to translate cultural items. Although many researchers have proposed different procedures and techniques to translate cultural references, Ivirs procedures have been chosen for their comprehensiveness, clearness, and directness. The other part of this integrated approach is Venutis (1995/1998) work on domestication (translators visibility) and foreignsation (translators invisibility).Ivirs procedures to translate cultural items form the  start out layer of this integrated approach. They represent the tools used by the translator to  contemplate his overall strategy towards the text being translated. The overall strategy is the  upper berth layer which is represented by Venutis    domestication or foreignsation. In other words, any translator who is dealing with cultural terms has to make two interrelated decisions. Firstly, he needs to decide whether, depending on some certain considerations such as the reader, the place, and the time, he will domesticate or foreignise his translated text. This is a text-level decision. Secondly, and accordingly, he has to decide which specific procedure to choose to deal with  all(prenominal) single cultural term in the text. This is a cultural term-level decision.In order to realise the mechanism of this approach, let us consider this simple example. If a translator into English decides to adopt domestication as his overall strategy (text-level decision) to translate a text from Arabic, he may convey, for example,   into English by defining it (cultural term-level decision) as Maghrib Prayer, the fourth daily prayer for Muslims prayed just after the sunset. On the contrary, if he adopts foreignsation as a text-level strate   gy, he  barely translates   as Maghrib Prayer.
