Abstract:
Over the past decade, interpreter certification performance testing has gained momentum. Certification tests often involve high stakes, since they can play an important role in regulating access to professional practice and serve to provide a measure of professional competence for end users. The decision to award certification is based on inferences from candidates’ test scores about their knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as their interpreting performance in a given target domain. To justify the appropriateness of score-based inferences and actions, test developers need to provide evidence that the test is valid and reliable through a process of test validation. However, there is little evidence that test qualities are systematically evaluated in interpreter certification testing. In an attempt to address this problem, this paper proposes a theoretical argument-based validation framework for interpreter certification performance tests so as to guide testers in carrying out systematic validation research. Before presenting the framework, validity theory is reviewed, and an examination of the argument-based approach to validation is provided. A validity argument for interpreter tests is then proposed, with hypothesized validity evidence. Examples of evidence are drawn from relevant empirical work, where available. Gaps in the available evidence are highlighted and suggestions for research are made.

Abstract:
Rater-mediated performance assessment (RMPA) is a critical component of interpreter certification testing systems worldwide. Given the acknowledged rater variability in RMPA and the high-stakes nature of certification testing, it is crucial to ensure rater reliability in interpreter certification performance testing (ICPT). However, a review of current ICPT practice indicates that rigorous research on rater reliability is lacking. Against this background, the present study reports on use of multifaceted Rasch measurement (MFRM) to identify the degree of severity/leniency in different raters’ assessments of simultaneous interpretations (SIs) by 32 interpreters in an experimental setting. Nine raters specifically trained for the purpose were asked to evaluate four English-to-Chinese SIs by each of the interpreters, using three 8-point rating scales (information content, fluency, expression). The source texts differed in speed and in the speaker’s accent (native vs non-native). Rater-generated scores were then subjected to MFRM analysis, using the FACETS program. The following general trends emerged: 1) homogeneity statistics showed that not all raters were equally severe overall; and 2) bias analyses showed that a relatively large proportion of the raters had significantly biased interactions with the interpreters and the assessment criteria. Implications for practical rating arrangements in ICPT, and for rater training, are discussed.

Abstract:
This study was designed to determine (a) the demographic characteristics and responsibilities of educational sign language interpreters within the K-12 public school system in the United States; (b) the mode of communication they use most frequently; and (c) their education and certification levels. Surveys were completed by 222 educational sign language interpreters in three states. Results showed the lack of certification and adequate training for the majority of respondents, as well as inadequate minority/gender representation, among other concerns. The study raised questions about the dependence of students who are deaf or hard of hearing on the educational interpreter support system. Recommendations for educational practice are presented.

Abstract:
In this article, the author makes a distinction between the quality-oriented assessment prevalent in translation and interpreting and the psychometric evaluation common in other disciplines. He suggests that the latter is a more appropriate approach for interpreter certification, an assessment situation where inferential decisions are made. He demonstrates how such research might be carried out in interpreting by validating both an existing conference interpreter certification test and a new test constructed according to measurement and evaluation principles.

Abstract:
Court interpreter plays a specific and important role, which is often underestimated in criminal proceedings. One of human rights’ aspects deals with ensuring a high-quality translation in order to make the procedure available for a person, who does not understand the proceedings language, ensure one’s rights and administer justice. The aim of the study is to find out the legal ground of court interpreter’s activity in criminal proceedings, to reveal and analyse related issues. In the article, the authors reveal topical issues linked to legal regulation concerning court interpreters and offer solutions. Namely, to ensure efficiency of court interpreter’s work, a judge should create as beneficial working conditions for an interpreter as possible, make breaks every 2 hours during court hearings, speakers (judges, prosecutors, lawyers, specialists, experts) should be trained in the field of public speech and how to work with an interpreter as well as court rooms should be ensured with modern interpreting equipment. In order to introduce single practice and deliver highquality translations in Latvian courts, there is a need in development of training and certification system for court interpreters and a special normative act regulating the legal activity of court interpreters, what would be a good basis for elaboration of court interpreters’ register.

Abstract:
This survey-based study examined the views of 226 legal professionals and 36 interpreting practitioners in Australia with respect to the role of the court interpreter and the quality of interpreting and revealed a statistically significant gap between the perceptions of the two professional groups. Both groups, however, were ambivalent in relation to some practical aspects of court interpreting, such as cultural intervention and the reproduction of speech style. The findings indicate that legal professionals generally held a favourable view of the overall quality of court interpreting. Both groups supported specialist certification for court interpreters.

Abstract:
This article suggests that the interpreter education community would benefit from cross-fertilization with the language testing community, which has been around much longer. The main principles used in testing speaking (or communicative competence) developed along the last decades by language testing experts and institutions can – and should – be applied to the testing of interpreter performance, mainly in high stakes examinations, such as those used for certification, employment at an international institution, or graduation from an educational program. The concept and some relevant studies concerning the notion of quality in professional interpretation are also discussed and suggested as ancillary help to build the constructs used in said examinations.

Abstract:
Interpreter certification has been largely ignored by the literature in Interpreting Studies. What little research that does exist on the topic is understandably elementary, discussing concerns that are general in nature or describing the development of individual certification instruments. No research has as yet examined the psychometric properties of certification instruments, despite the urgings of legal precedent, the weight of professional opinion, and the requirements of professional standards. The present study has attempted to bridge this gap in two ways. First, to gain some sense of the current state of affairs in interpreter testing, a validation study of an existing certification test was conducted. Particular attention was paid to information about the test's constructs. Second, in a bid to improve construct validity, a new certification test was constructed and subsequently validated. Constructs in the new test were based on a discursive model of the interpreting process. Validation of the two tests revealed some interesting findings. Constructs in the existing test bore only a weak relationship to the interpreting profession. Also, the constructs did not prove to be useful in predicting relationships among the existing test scores. It was expected that three separate constructs would emerge from the data; instead, empirical evidence suggested that the data were unidimensional in nature. In contrast, constructs in the new test were strongly linked to the interpreting profession. They also proved to effectively predict relationships among the new test scores. It was expected that three separate constructs would emerge from the data, and empirical evidence suggested that this was, in fact, the case. The results of the present study indicate that there is room for improvement in the current state of interpreter testing, and that a test instrument based on discursive constructs is likely to demonstrate acceptable levels of validity. There is obviously a need for a great deal of future research on the psychometric aspects of interpreter certification, and it is strongly recommended that this research adopt a discursive approach.

Abstract:
Four countries offer specialized interpreter certification programs that take into account the needs of the healthcare market: Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States. This chapter provides an overview, analysis, and comparison of these certification programs by which specialized medical interpreters can demonstrate minimum standards of performance. This chapter reviews several components of five certification schemes: 1) pre-requisites, 2) knowledge areas, 3) skills areas, 4) language combinations, and 5) certification maintenance. The comparisons reveal similar approaches to interpreter certification with a few significant variations. These common elements form the basis for a substantive international equivalence and comparability. At a closer look, each scheme reveals different solutions to the shared challenges. This chapter ends with recommendations for any ongoing or future interpreter certification program and for interpreting stakeholders.

Abstract:
In an attempt to analyze the reliability and validity of the most frequently used oral certification exams for court interpreters in the United States, this chapter examines the basic test model used for state-level certification through the lens of concepts in testing theory. Having identified several limitations to the currently used performance-based model, a hybrid model which includes competency-based education and assessment is proposed. By building on best practices in competency-based education, the alternative credentialing paradigm proposed here would represent an innovation in the context of court interpreter certification in the United States, requiring the transfer of assessment criteria usually used in traditional educational contexts into the realm of professional training. The proposed hybrid model would necessitate a shift from one high-stakes exam to assessment of a series of compartmentalized competency clusters that would account for soft skills and dispositional traits not currently assessed.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the development of the medical interpreting profession in the United States as a case study. It begins with the conception of interpreters as volunteer helpers or dual-role medical professionals who happened to have some knowledge of languages other than English. Then it examines the emergence of training programs for medical interpreters, incipient efforts to impose standards by means of certification tests, the role of government in providing language access in health care, and the beginning of a labor market for paid medical interpreters. The chapter concludes with a description of the current situation of professional medical interpreting in the United States, in terms of training, certification and the labor market, and makes recommendations for further development.

Abstract:
At the 2004 Law and Diversity Conference in Toronto on the accreditation of foreign-trained immigrants in Canada, speaker Naomi Alboim called Canadian immigration policy “one of seduction and abandonment.” Seduction because skilled workers are selected as immigrants based on their high levels of education and experience, which leads them to expect that they will be able to apply these skills and experience in the Canadian labor market. Abandonment because, once in Canada, the immigrant workers receive little help with the accreditation of their education and professional certification, preventing them from applying their skills. Immigrants in regulated trades and professions such as the electrical trade, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and teaching often lose access to the occupations they previously held—an effect commonly known as “deskilling.” The abandonment of immigrants is not simply the result of inadvertent neglect and the failure of policy. It can also be interpreted as a systematic process of distinction and subordination. By excluding many skilled, foreign-trained immigrants from high-status occupations in Canada, the regulation of educational and professional credentials enables domestic-educated workers to dominate these occupations. The level of education among Canadian immigrants has steadily increased since the 1950s (Akabari 1999). Nevertheless, immigrants have failed to benefit from their educational attainments and have lower returns on their education than Canadian-born workers (Reitz 2001a, 2001b). Level of education, in fact, fails as an accurate predictor of labor market performance among immigrants (E. N. Thompson 2000). Similarly, the benefits immigrants receive for foreign work experience have deteriorated. In the 1960s, one year of foreign work experience was rewarded with an average 1.5 percent increase in earnings for immigrants. By the late 1990s, this wage increase dropped to only 0.3 percent (Statistics Canada 2004: 5). Furthermore, skilled immigrants require an increasing amount of time to catch up with the wages of Canadian workers with similar skills and education, if they catch up at all (Ley 1999). These national trends also apply to immigrants in Vancouver. Three-fourths of all immigrant professionals from India who settled in Vancouver experienced occupational downward mobility after their arrival in Canada.

Abstract:
According to the Regulation No. 207/2009 the use of the mark exclusively for the purpose of guaranteeing the quality of products or services is not "actual use". However, the quality label may fulfill the conditions set for such use if it is used in accordance with the main function of the trademark. According to the European Court's view, the mentioned regulation must be interpreted in such a way that the provisions relating to collective trademarks cannot, mutatis mutandis, apply to individual Union trade marks. With the adoption of Regulation No. 2017/1001, it is foreseen, under certain conditions, the protection of the mark quality as a Union certification mark. In this way, the function of origin marking is realized, which means that the certification marks are different from the individuals.

Abstract Online product reviews are a valuable resource for product developers to improve the design of their products. Yet, the potential value of customer feedback to improve the sustainability performance of products is still to be exploited. The present paper investigates and analyzes Amazon product reviews to bring new light on the following question: “What sustainable design insights can be identified or interpreted from online product reviews?”. To do so, the top 100 reviews, evenly distributed by star ratings, for three product categories (laptop, printer, cable) are collected, manually annotated, analyzed and interpreted. For each product category, the reviews of two similar products (one with environmental certification and one standard version) are compared and combined to come up with sustainable design solutions. In all, for the six products considered, between 12% and 20% of the reviews mentioned directly or indirectly aspects or attributes that could be exploited to improve the design of these products from a sustainability perspective. Concrete examples of sustainable design leads that could be elicited from product reviews are given and discussed. As such, this contribution provides a baseline for future work willing to automate this process to gain further insights from online product reviews. Notably, the deployment of machine learning tools and the use of natural language processing techniques to do so are discussed as promising lines for future research.

This can help to understand the status of implementation of these two milestones of quality improvement for the building construction sector in Brazil, due to the lack of studies focused on this specific sector. Through multiple case study, improvements in the internal process were identified, evidencing the positive contributions of PBQP-H to achieve the performance required by the ABNT NBR 15.575. The interviewed also quoted positive impacts such as cost saving, time reducing and benefits to customers and end users. Finally, the study conclude that the low adherence of PQBP-H is still related to the poor view of managers, who interpret investments in quality only as certification costs.

Abstract:
In general, the trainer's technical abilities must be mastered by the trainer. The reason is that those who become coaches are generally former athletes. They are also have training certificates from various training and coaching clinics. However, the ability to communicate in coaching is not necessarily fully mastered by most coaches. The purpose of this research was to add theoretical development about the study of sports coaching communication, especially in the process of athlete physical and mental training by using descriptive qualitative research approaches. The results showed that the coaching communication patterns developed in the training process and outside the training. The form of coaching communication during and outside training is generally face-to-face. The method used in coaching communication is to use lectures and demonstrations as well as to involve video media to further stimulate achievement motivation for each athlete. The approach taken in coaching communication is an open, family, and personal approach. The choice of coaching communication methods has been proven to be able to motivate and build athletes' self-confidence and athletes can accept and interpret the instructional messages conveyed and desired by the coaches. Suggestions and recommendations that can be given in this research are on the certification of trainers for each sports trainer.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the years, new regulations, safety and environmental concerns from the public have emphasized the requirement for pipeline owners to demonstrate and document the safe operation of their facilities. In Europe, the “Seveso 2” regulation has mentioned pipelines in the requirement for safety and integrity management of hazardous facilities. What were originally technical issues related to inspection and maintenance have now been wrapped up in the general concept of pipeline integrity management. The safety of pipelines has indeed become a social accountability issue at Corporate level for every Operator. Bureau Veritas has been involved since its inception in the conformity assessment, the certification of facilities and organisations and has developed a vast experience in the field of QHSE and Regulatory compliance. Based on this experience, Bureau Veritas is developing a practical approach to Pipeline Integrity Management, providing guidelines and methodologies for operators. The paper describes a performance-based and risk-based approach to Pipeline Integrity Management. The approach includes: assessment of the condition of facilities (through audits and inspections), performing risk analysis and engineering criticality assessments, drawing up the priority list of further inspections, interventions, repairs and maintenance, assisting and advising in the selection of the appropriate methodologies and tools, controlling the execution of such inline inspections, cathodic protection surveys, safety systems upgrades, maintenance and repair works. Bureau Veritas has also developed calculation criteria to interpret inspection data and to advise on fitness for service of the facilities to prioritize the repair works.

Abstract:
Abstract As part of the project funded under the Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership (CUSP) of the Western United States, this paper demonstrates a workflow including site characterization and numerical simulation efforts of proposing a Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval according to 40 CFR 98.440 (c)(1), Subpart RR of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) to qualify for the tax credit in section 45Q of the federal Internal Revenue Services (IRS) Code. In this project, the injectors and treated acid gas (TAG) plant are located at the northern margin of the Delaware Basin, a highly productive hydrocarbon basin in southeastern New Mexico. The target injection zones are the Permian-aged Cherry Canyon Formation for the acid gas injection (AGI) #1 well and Siluro-Devonian formations for the AGI #2 well, storage zones above and beneath active hydrocarbon pay zones respectively. The storage zones and caprocks are characterized through well log examinations, formation fluid chemistry evaluation, faults identification and interpretation. Reservoir models were constructed and simulation performed to predict the extent of the TAG plume after 30 years of injection with 5 years of post-injection site care monitoring. The reservoir mapping and cross sections interpreted from well logs indicate that the area around AGI #1 does not contain visible faulting or offsets that might influence fluid migration, suggesting that injected fluid would spread radially from the point of injection with a small elliptical component to the south. In the Siluro-Devonian formation, where AGI #2 is planned to be completed. The induced-seismicity risk assessment shows that the operation of the proposed injection combined with the historic volume contributions of the regional saltwater disposal (SWD) wells is not anticipated to contribute significantly to injection-induced fault slip. This result demonstrates that acid gas can be injected as proposed while maintaining the minimal risk of induced seismicity. The water sample collected from a nearby well indicates that the formation waters are highly saline (180,000 ppm NaCl) and compatible with the proposed injection. The reservoir simulation results indicate that the TAG plume is predicted to extend a maximum of 1.2 km from the injector wellbore when the identified faults are treated as non-transmissive and 0.90 km when they are treated as transmissive. The pressure profiles demonstrate the strong potential for safe injection into both target formations. In December 2021, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) plan, permitting Lucid Energy to sequester acid gas from its Red Hills gas processing complex in Lea County, New Mexico. This paper provides the industry with a critical roadmap for converting existing injectors into CO2 or TAG sequestration wells that may qualify for 45Q tax certification to comply with the current administrative regulations. As part of the project funded by Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership (CUSP) of the Western United States, published data from this project is invaluable.
