Abstract:
Adaptations, currently the best-known example of intersemiotic translation, more often than not are addressed in the disingenuous terms of ‘fidelity,’ ‘parasitism,’ or ‘solipsism.’ Although it seems a truism that adaptations adapt a ‘text’ from one discursive field to another, such a straightforward causality conflicts with the notion of ‘discursive field’ in which it is wont to occur. Moreover, the adaptation presented as adaptation loses its referential effect when the receiver is unacquainted with the material transposed. Together both issues — i.e. linearity and referentiality — in fact account for most of the misconceptions about the paradoxical phenomenon that is adaptation. This essay therefore proposes a semiological argument aimed at providing a better understanding of the discursive mechanisms at work in adaptational practice.

Abstract:
Occupational therapy practitioners often adapt evidence-based interventions for implementation into practice, yet these adaptations are seldom captured systematically. The purpose of this study was to apply the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications–Expanded (FRAME) to describe adaptations to one intervention modified for teletherapy in the wake of COVID-19. An embedded multiple case study design was used to track adaptations made to a vestibular and bilateral integration (VBI) protocol—traditionally delivered in-person—that was implemented via teletherapy in a pediatric outpatient clinic. The “Modification and Adaptation Checklist” was used to track protocol adaptations. Data were examined through descriptive analyses; 63 adaptations were made to the VBI protocol. The most frequently noted adaptation was “Repeating protocol activities,” whereas the “Integrating another treatment approach with the VBI protocol” was the least common adaptation. The FRAME may be useful for tracking adaptations and evaluating how adaptations influence intervention effectiveness.

Abstract:
Marketing adaptation strategy has been characterized as a strategic imperative in markets with protectionist and nationalist sentiments, which underscores the need to better understand the effects of adaptation strategy. However, empirical investigations of international marketing strategy have considered mandatory and discretionary adaptations as equivalent. Discretionary adaptations, unlike mandatory adaptations, involve choice; thus, they are more relevant to the selection of an international marketing strategy. This article focuses on the direct and conditional effects of discretionary adaptation on export performance. Analyzing data from 203 U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises, the authors find a positive effect of discretionary adaptation on export performance as well as moderating effects of (1) a market characteristic (psychic distance), (2) a firm characteristic (international experience), and (3) a product characteristic (product positional advantage). The implications suggest that adaptation strategy may be more advantageous than previously thought, and that researchers should focus on discretionary adaptations when investigating the choice of a relatively standardized versus adapted international marketing strategy.

Abstract:
The most widely used qualitative research methodologies are grounded theory and phenomenology. Both methodologies have expanded over time to several adaptations aligning with different paradigms, complex philosophical assumptions, and varying methodological strategies. Novice researchers either mistakenly mix the strategies of both methodologies or blend specific assumptions of methodologies’ different adaptations. Choosing the appropriate methodology and the specific adaptation in line with research inquiry and congruent with the researchers’ worldview is crucial in undertaking rigorous qualitative study. To date, there is limited literature that compared and contrasted the varying philosophical underpinnings of the two methodologies’ different adaptations. The purpose of this methodological paper is to provide a general overview of the two methodologies’ different adaptations to illustrate how they differ in approach. By immersing into the origins, philosophical assumptions, and utility of the two methodologies’ adaptations, novice researchers will develop a general overview of the foundations that support those specific adaptations. Finally, the considerations in choosing a specific adaptation of a methodology are discussed and applied by underpinning a research question on the care experiences of patients in the Accountable Care Unit. Thus, this methodological paper may assist novice researchers in deciding which specific adaptation of the two methodologies is the appropriate qualitative methodology for their research.

Abstract:
‘iSupport’ is an online psychoeducation and skills development intervention created by the World Health Organisation to support people with dementia. This project adapted iSupport for carers of people with rare dementias (iSupport RDC), creating a new resource to support the health and wellbeing of this underserved population. The adaptation involved three phases: (1) Co-design methods to generate preliminary adaptations; (2) Analysis of phase one findings informing adaptations to iSupport to develop; iSupport RDC; (3) Post-adaptation survey to ascertain participant agreement with the adaptations in iSupport RDC. Fourteen participants contributed, resulting in 212 suggested adaptations, of which 94 (92%) were considered practical, generalisable, and aligned with iSupport principles. These adaptations encompassed content and design changes, including addressing the challenges of rare dementias (PCA, PPA, LBD, and FTD). iSupport RDC represents a significant adaptation of the WHO iSupport intervention. Its tailored nature acknowledges the unique needs of people caring for someone with a rare dementia, improving their access to specialised resources and support. By extending iSupport to this population, it contributes to advancing dementia care inclusivity and broadening the understanding of rare dementias. A feasibility study is underway to assess iSupport RDCs acceptability, with prospects for cultural adaptations to benefit carers globally.

Abstract:
Background: Adaptations to evidence-based practices (EBPs) are common but can impact implementation and patient outcomes. In our prior research, providers in routine care made a fidelity-inconsistent adaptation to an EBP that improved health outcomes in people with serious mental illness (SMI). The purpose of this study was to characterize the process and reasons for the adaptation using a framework for reporting adaptations and modifications to EBPs, with a focus on equity. Methods: This study used qualitative data collected during a national implementation of the InSHAPE EBP addressing obesity in persons with SMI. We reviewed transcripts from five behavioral health organizations that made a successful fidelity-inconsistent adaptation to a core component of InSHAPE that was associated with cardiovascular risk reduction. We coded the data using the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Expanded (FRAME) with an emphasis on exploring whether the adaptation addressed inequities in using the EBP related to social determinants of health. Results: Across the five agencies, the fidelity-inconsistent adaptation was characterized as unplanned and reactive in response to challenges InSHAPE teams experienced delivering the intervention in community fitness facilities as intended. In all cases, the goal of the adaptation was to improve intervention access, feasibility, and fit. Social and economic disadvantage were noted obstacles to accessing fitness facilities or gyms among participants with SMI, which led agencies to adapt the program by offering sessions at the mental health center. Conclusion: Findings from this study show the advantages of applying a health equity lens to evaluate how obstacles such as poverty and discrimination influence EBP adaptations. Recommendations can also assist researchers and community partners in making proactive decisions about allowable adaptations to EBPs. Plain Language Summary Adaptations to evidence-based practices (EBPs) are common but can impact implementation and patient outcomes. Understanding why adaptations are made to EBPs by organizations and providers during implementation can help inform implementation strategies designed to guide adaptations that improve outcomes. We found that social and economic factors were driving inequities in access to a core intervention component of an EBP, which led agencies to adapt an EBP in a way that model developers considered to be inconsistent with fidelity but improved patient outcomes. These findings contribute to the growing literature on equitable implementation and adaptation by highlighting the advantages of considering when and how fidelity-inconsistent adaptations to an EBP may be in the service of reducing inequities in access to and use of EBPs for health disparity groups.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the main problems of screen adaptations of literary works in general and animated adaptations in particular. The authors examine the achievements and gaps in the theoretical study of these topics in Russia and China. Different times, through the voices of scholars, have formed different definitions of the principles of film adaptation. Forms and methods of adaptation evolve, their principles are not permanent and are also subject to change. It is the need of the time to develop a new theory of screen adaptation. After examining a large number of studies dealing with the specificities of screen adaptation per se, animation and animated versions of literary originals, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop a detailed comprehensive theory of animatography and its specifics. The authors express some opinions regarding the most promising development directions of the new research paradigm. There are quite a lot of theoretical and practical studies on the adaptation of literature in film and television, yet there has been relatively little research on animated versions of literary sources in general and Journey to the West in particular. The existing discussions and studies have not yet formed a system of academic understanding on these topics. It should be noted, however, that just as there is a trend in the world to increasingly turn to various types of audiovisual adaptations of classical literary works, including animated adaptations, in China, all the successful animated works in the past ten years have been animated adaptations of classical literature, particularly screen adaptations of works related to legends and myths, i. e. of the same category as “Journey to the West”. There is a pressing urgency to deepen research in this area, both for the development of the Chinese animation market, which is in dire need of them, and on the scale of the global film and mass communication media. This topic is further relevant due to the fact that animation is the backbone of the digital cultural industry, which has become the leading field of contemporary culture.

Abstract:
Abstract Adaptation, as both a method and a textual category, has been a perennial favorite with text mediators who call themselves translators, appearing especially prominently in intersemiotic rather than interlingual translation. The present paper examines the concepts and practices of adaptation, drawing particular attention to examples from both the West and the Far East. Just as a preference for adaptive methods in translation can be seen in certain periods of Western literary history (e.g. seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France), there were times when adaptations were hailed in China, Japan and Korea. In the course of the discussion, reference will be made to (1) the modernist adaptations undertaken by Western writers through much of the twentieth century; (2) the sequences of novelistic adaptations spawned in Korea and Japan by Chinese classical novels; and (3) the adaptations of European novels by the prodigious twentieth-century Chinese translator Lin Shu. It will be shown that there is a need for translation scholars to question the theoretical validity of the dichotomy between the two modes of “translation” and “adaptation,” as well as an urgency to reconsider the supposed “inferior” status of adaptations.

Abstract:
It is obviously useful to think of evolved individuals in terms of their adaptations, yet the task of empirically classifying traits as adaptations has been claimed by some to be impossible in principle. I reject that claim by construction, introducing a formal method to empirically test whether a trait is an adaptation. The method presented is general, intuitive, and effective at identifying adaptations while remaining agnostic about their adaptive function. The test follows directly from the notion that adaptations arise from variation, heritability, and differential fitness in an evolving population: I operationalize these three concepts at the trait level, formally defining measures of individual traits. To test whether a trait is an adaptation, these measures are evaluated, locating the trait within a three-dimensional parameterized trait space. Within this space, I identify a region containing all adaptations; a trait's position relative to this adaptive region of trait space describes its status as an adaptation. The test can be applied in any evolving system where a few domain-specific statistical measures can be constructed; I demonstrate the construction of these measures, most notably a measure of an individual's hypothetical fitness if it were born with a different trait, in Packard's Bugs ALife model. The test is applied in Bugs, and shown to conform with our intuitive classification of adaptations.

Abstract:
The way we use technology both shapes and is shaped by our environment. These same technologies also shape and are shaped by our cognitive structures. While several existing theories explain individuals’ adaptations of technology, these theories typically focus on social and behavioral dynamics, with little attention on how technology adaptation changes individuals’ internal representations and associations. This is an important oversight to address, given that contemporary technologies such as social media, big data, artificial intelligence, and wearable devices are known to impact how we process information and conceptualize problems. In this study, we extend the adaptive theory of structuration for individuals (ASTI) to create a theory of technocognitive structuration. Technocognitive structuration proposes that exploitative and exploratory cognitive adaptations mediate how technology adaptations impact task adaptations. We tested this mediating effect using an online experiment, supported by a series of pilot studies and illustrations. The results support the proposed mediating role of cognitive adaptation. These findings challenge existing research on technology adaptation and suggest that not only is cognitive adaptation an important phenomenon to study in its own right but it may also be an important element to consider when making causal claims about other outcomes linked with technology adaptation.

Abstract:
(Self-)Adaptive software systems monitor the status of their requirements and adapt when some of these requirements are failing. The baseline for much of the research on adaptive software systems is the concept of a feedback loop mechanism that monitors the performance of a system relative to its requirements, determines root causes when there is failure, selects an adaptation, and carries it out. The degree of adaptivity of a software system critically depends on the space of possible adaptations supported (and implemented) by the system. The larger the space, the more adaptations a system is capable of. This thesis tackles the following questions: (a) How can we define multi-dimensional adaptation spaces that subsume proposals for requirements- and architecture-based adaptation spaces? (b) Given one of more failures, how can we select an optimal adaptation with respect to one or more objective functions? To answer the first question, we propose a design process for three-dimensional adaptation spaces, named the Three-Peaks Process, that iteratively elicits control and environmental parameters from requirements, architectures and behaviours for the system-to-be. For the second question, we propose three adaptation mechanisms. The first mechanism is founded on the assumption that only qualitative information is available about the impact of changes of the system's control parameters on its goals. The absence of quantitative information is mitigated by a new class of requirements, namely Adaptation Requirements, that impose constraints on the adaptation process itself and dictate policies about how conflicts among failing requirements must be handled. The second mechanism assumes that there is quantitative information about the impact of changes of control parameters on the system’s goals and that the problem of finding an adaptation is formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. The mechanism measures the degree of failure of each requirement and selects an adaptation that minimizes it along with other objective functions, such as cost. Optimal solutions are derived exploiting OMT/SMT (Optimization Modulo Theories/Satisfiability Modulo Theories) solvers. The third mechanism operates under the assumption that the environment changes dynamically over time and the chosen adaptation has to take into account such changes. Towards this direction, we apply Model Predictive Control, a well-developed theory with myriads of successful applications in Control Theory. In our work, we rely on state-of-the-art system identification techniques to derive the dynamic relationship between requirements and possible adaptations and then propose the use of a controller that exploits this relationship to optimize the satisfaction of requirements relative to a cost-function. This adaptation mechanism can guarantee a certain level of requirements satisfaction over time, by dynamically composing adaptation strategies when necessary. Finally, each piece of our work is evaluated through experimentation using variations of the Meeting-Scheduler exemplar.

Abstract:
Contemporary theatre is increasingly visual, an aesthetic shift that has been analyzed in, among others, Hans-Thies Lehmann’s influential Postdramatic Theatre. This shift is apparent in Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki’s intercultural adaptations, which adapt plays of the Western repertoire for contemporary Japanese and international audiences in a style that is richly and evocatively visual. Notions drawn from postdramatic theatre, metatheatre and postcolonial theories are applied as framing devices to uncover the deep cultural and theatrical significance of Suzuki’s adaptive work. My approach to analyzing the three case studies: Suzuki’s King Lear, The Trojan Women, and Cyrano de Bergerac takes a more globalized view of theatrical adaptations that acknowledges the visual turn of contemporary theatre and contributes to the fields of intercultural performance studies and adaptation studies by expanding the notion of interculturalism beyond the limits imposed by current Western analytical perspectives.

Abstract:
Wie sich die Sprachwahrnehmung an ständig eingehende Informationen anpasst, ist eine Schlüsselfrage in der Gedanken- und Gehirnforschung. Die vorliegende Dissertation zielt darauf ab, zum Verständnis von Anpassungen an die Sprecheridentität und Sprachfehler während der Sprachverarbeitung beizutragen und unser Wissen über die Rolle der kognitiven Kontrolle bei der Sprachverarbeitung zu erweitern. Zu diesem Zweck wurden ereigniskorrelierte Potentiale (EKPs, englisch: event-related potentials, ERPs) N400 und P600 in der Elektroenzephalographie (EEG) analysiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasste sich insbesondere mit der Frage nach der Anpassung an die Sprecheridentität bei der Verarbeitung von zwei Arten von Sprachfehlern (Xu, Abdel Rahman, & Sommer, 2019), und untersuchte die proaktive Anpassungen, die durch die Erkennung von Sprachfehlern (Xu, Abdel Rahman, & Sommer, 2021) und durch die Sprecher(dis)kontinuität über aufeinanderfolgende Sätze in Situationen mit mehreren Sprechern ausgelöst wurden (Xu, Abdel Rahman, & Sommer, 2021, in press). Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass unterschiedliche Sprachverarbeitungsstrategien entsprechend der Sprecheridentität von Muttersprachlern oder Nicht-Muttersprachlern und zwei verschiedenen Arten von Sprachfehlern angepasst wurden, was sich in unterschiedlichen N400- und P600-Effekten widerspiegelte. Darüber hinaus kann die Erkennung von Konflikten (Sprachfehler) und Sprecher(dis)kontinuität über aufeinanderfolgende Sätze hinweg eine proaktive kognitive Kontrolle erfordern, die die Verarbeitungsstrategien für den folgenden Satz schnell anpasst, was sich in bisher nicht gemeldeten sequentiellen Anpassungseffekten in der P600-Amplitude manifestierte. Basierend auf dem DMC Modell (Braver, 2012; Braver, Gray, & Burgess, 2007) und dem Überwachungsmodell der Sprachverarbeitung (van de Meerendonk, Indefrey, Chwilla, & Kolk, 2011) schlage ich vor, dass die P600-Amplitude nicht nur reaktive Anpassungen manifestiert, die durch Konflikterkennung ausgelöst werden, nämlich die klassischen P600-Effekte, die eine erneute Analyse der Sprachverarbeitung widerspiegeln, sondern auch proaktive Anpassungen in der Überwachung der Sprachverarbeitung, die Mechanismen der kognitiven Kontrolle von Aufmerksamkeit und Gedächtnis beinhalten.
How language perception adapts to constantly incoming information is a key question in mind and brain research. This doctoral thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of adaptation to speaker identity and speech error during speech processing, and to enhance our knowledge about the role of cognitive control in speech processing. For this purpose, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) N400 and P600 in the electroencephalography (EEG) were analyzed. Specifically, the present work addressed the question about adaptation to the speaker’s identity in processing two types of speech errors (Xu, Abdel Rahman, & Sommer, 2019), and explored proactive adaptation initiated by the detection of speech errors (Xu, Abdel Rahman, & Sommer, 2021) and by speaker (dis-)continuity across consecutive sentences in multi-speaker situations (Xu, Abdel Rahman, & Sommer, 2021, in press). Results showed that different speech processing strategies were adapted according to native or non-native speaker identity and two different types of speech errors, reflected in different N400 and P600 effects. In addition, detection of conflict (speech error) and speaker (dis-)continuity across consecutive sentences engage cognitive control to rapidly adapt processing strategies for the following sentence, manifested in hitherto unreported sequential adaptation effects in the P600 amplitude. Based on the DMC model (Braver, 2012; Braver, Gray, & Burgess, 2007) and the monitoring theory of language perception (van de Meerendonk, Indefrey, Chwilla, & Kolk, 2011), I propose that the P600 amplitude manifests not only reactive adaptations triggered by conflict detection, i.e., the classic P600 effect, reflecting reanalysis of speech processing, but also proactive adaptations in monitoring the speech processing, engaging cognitive control mechanisms of attention and memory.

Abstract:
Pregnancy is a complex biological condition associated with profound changes in the metabolism of the mother, essential for the growth and development of the fetoplacental unit. We aimed to study molecular pathways that contribute to the gestational alterations in lipid metabolism. The data in this report show that adaptations in lipid homeostasis during mouse pregnancy include raised hepatic cholesterol content, decreased levels of circulating cholesterol and elevated serum triglycerides. Moreover, LXR signalling contributes to the enhanced lipogenesis in early mouse pregnancy by increasing fatty acid biosynthesis in the liver. There is a gradual down-regulation of LXR targets involved in hepatic lipogenesis, cholesterol uptake and clearance following mouse placenta formation. Pharmacological activation of LXR not only blunted the reduction of these genes but also reversed the changes in hepatic and serum lipid profiles observed during normal murine pregnancy. Our results strongly suggest that LXR signalling is altered during mouse pregnancy and this is an essential adaptation to facilitate altered maternal lipid homeostasis. Investigations were performed to establish whether maternal metabolic adaptations in energy homeostasis result from altered diurnal fluctuations in peripheral metabolic pathways. We show that pregnancy alters the activity of core clocks in liver, white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Early and advanced pregnancy changes the diurnal fluctuations in the expression of key metabolic genes in the liver in order to enhance or dampen lipogenesis respectively during these gestational periods. We present preliminary data suggesting that the temporal oscillations in bile acid metabolism are shifted during pregnancy independently of feeding patterns. Moreover, fatty acid homeostasis in skeletal muscle is changed during early pregnancy possibly as a consequence of the REV-ERBβ-dependent downregulation of Cpt1β-mediated lipid oxidation. Also, placenta lipid homeostasis exhibits robust temporal oscillations so that pathways mediating fatty acid and cholesterol transport as well as triglyceride hydrolysis become activated during the dark phase. Subcutaneous and visceral white adipose tissue depots were examined to determine whether metabolic pathways in these tissues are differentially regulated during non-complicated pregnancy and gestational cholestasis. We show evidence that although both of these depots expand in the course of gestation in order accommodate triglyceride accrual, subcutaneous fat develops a pro-inflammatory phenotype whereas visceral fat remains quiescent. Feeding of pregnant mice with a cholic acid-supplemented diet raises their serum triglyceride and free fatty acid levels and reduces adipose tissue lipogenesis. Gestational cholestasis also decreases white fat inflammation in a depot-specific manner and interferes with adipose tissue remodelling and expansion. We concluded that failure of fat to grow and store surplus lipids that normally accrue during pregnancy could contribute to the development of cholestatic dyslipidaemia.

Abstract:
Three different aspects of plant adaptations to ecological interactions are examined. The first one is in the area of plant breeding systems. The adaptations investigated in this study involved interactions between male gametes competing for fertilizations on the plant Phormium tenax, an agavoid of New Zealand. In this system I discovered a new type of self incompatibility that depends on the levels of competition among self- and cross-pollinated fruits. This mechanism is parallel to cryptic self-incompatibility in which individual self-pollen grains are not as successful as cross-pollen when competing in the same pistil. The competition-dependent abscission of self-pollinations considered here, however, operates at the level of whole flowers. This form of self-incompatibility may allow a high level of outcrossing to be achieved while it assures seed set when pollinations are scarce. The second case focuses on the interaction between a plant of the genus Bursera and its herbivorous crysomelid beetle Blepharida. This Bursera produces terpenes that are stored in networks of canals that run throughout the leaves and the cortex of the stem. When damaged, there is often an abundant release of resins. Blepharida larvae have developed the behavioral adaptations to overcome the secretive canals of Bursera. Before feeding on the leaves they cut the leaf-veins, interrupting the flow of terpenes. By documenting the growth and survival costs of being on plants of different response strength I was able to show that canals can effectively decrease herbivory even against this specialized vein-cutting insect. The handling time involved in blocking the canals slows down larval growth, delays pupation and increases the risk of predation. Chapter III examines a more complex interaction among plants that produce extrafloral nectaries, ants, and homopterans. An alternative model to explain the function of extrafloral nectaries is proposed. According to this hypothesis, the function of these glands is not to attract ants for defense, but to distract them from tending homopterans by giving them a free source of sugar. Different sources of evidence that support this model are discussed.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to identify the lower limb kinematic adaptations made in normal gait to accommodate to static transverse slopes. Five male subjects were asked to walk along a platform at 0%, 5% and 10% slope. Kinematic data for the ankle, knee and hip were collected at 60Hz using the Ultratrak RTM (Polhemus Inc., Burlington, VT, USA) electromagnetic tracking system. Results indicated that significant (p < 0.05) joint angle changes occurred in both the uphill (UH) and downhill (DH) lower limbs. The adaptations served as compensatory changes to functionally shorten the UH limb and lengthen the DH limb.

Abstract:
Abstract Gait adaptations among postoperative total hip replacement (THR) patients may be a response to the prosthesis and changes in the reconstructed joint mechanics or may be a learned response from an adaptation that was present preoperatively. Similarities have been reported between gait adaptations in preoperative and postoperative patients for THRs (1), but this was demonstrated in cross-sectional data and not longitudinal data. These gait adaptations may have implications on hip joint loading, rehabilitation protocols and can result in additional compensations at other joints. This longitudinal study tested the hypothesis that gait adaptations present preoperatively persist postoperatively.

Abstract:
Adaptation is a creative process that crosses and blurs boundaries: from page to stage, from small screen to big screen – and then, sometimes, back again. Beyond questions of form and medium, many adaptations also cross national borders and language barriers, making them important tools for intercultural communication and identity formation. This paper calls for a more intensive, transnational study of adaptation across print, stage, and screens in EU member and affiliate countries. For the highest possible effectiveness, interdisciplinarity is key; as a cultural phenomenon, adaptation benefits from perspectives rooted in a variety of fields and research methods. Its influence over transnational media flows, with patterns in production and reception across European culture industries, offers scholars a better understanding of how narratives are transformed into cultural exports and how these exchanges affect transnational relationships. The following questions are proposed to shape this avenue for research: (1) How do adaptations track narrative and media flows within and across national, linguistic, and regional boundaries? (2) To what extent do adapted narratives reflect transnational relationships, and how might they help construct Europeanness? (3) How do audiences in the EU respond to transnational adaptation, and how are European adaptations circulated and received outside Europe? (4) What impact does adaptation have in the culture industries, and what industrial practices might facilitate adaptation across media platforms and/or national boundaries? The future of adaptation studies and of adaptation as a cultural practice in Europe depends on the development of innovative, comparative, and interdisciplinary approaches to adaptation. The outcomes of future research can hold significant value for European media industries seeking to expand their market reach, as well as for scholars of adaptation, theater, literature, translation, and screen media.

Abstract:
Abstract Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) provides a promising methodology for solving many complex engineering design problems. CBR is based on the idea that past problem-solving experiences can be reused and learned from in solving new problems. This paper presents an overview of a CBR design system to assist human engineers in performing mechanical bearing design. It retrieves previously designed cases from a case-base and uses adaptation techniques to adapt them to satisfy the current problem requirements. Our approach combines parametric adaptations and constraint satisfaction adaptations. The technique of parametric adaptation considers not only parameter substitution, but also the interrelationships between the problem definition and its solution. The technique of constraint satisfaction adaptation provides a method to globally check the design requirements to assess case adaptability. Currently, our system has been tested in the rolling bearing domain.

Abstract:
Literary adaptation for film is a complex process that involves the transposition of narrative, thematic, and aesthetic elements from a textual medium to an audiovisual medium. This study aimed to explore the main stages and challenges faced during the adaptation of literary works for film, analyzing how creative choices impact critical and popular reception. The methodology used included a bibliographic review of articles published between 2010 and 2023, extracted from databases such as Scielo, JSTOR, and Google Scholar. The materials analyzed include cases of notable literary adaptations, such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pride and Prejudice", as well as studies on the techniques used by screenwriters and directors in converting text to image. Equipment such as script analysis software was used to dissect the narrative structure of the original works and their respective film adaptations, allowing a detailed comparison of the approaches adopted. The results indicate that fidelity to the original text is not always the key to a successful adaptation. In many cases, significant changes are required to meet the demands of the film format, such as condensing complex plots and transforming internal monologues into visual dialogue. The discussion suggests that while adaptation may sacrifice certain elements of the original work, it also offers new creative opportunities, such as visually exploring underlying themes and expanding the work's target audience. It is concluded that the process of adapting a book to film requires a delicate balance between respect for the source material and creative innovation. Successful adaptations are those that manage to capture the essence of the source material while making the most of the possibilities of the film medium.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper introduces a robust design method for product adaptation considering uncertainties in both product configurations and parameters. In this study, probability of product adaptation in the operation stage and influence of the probability on the optimal design solution are investigated. In this work, an AND-OR tree is used to model feasible design candidates and their adaptations, where each node represents a partial solution for the original design or the adapted design. Design candidates are generated from the AND-OR tree through tree-based search, and a design candidate can be defined by variation nodes that are used for potential product adaptations. A multi-level optimization method is applied to obtain the optimal values of design parameters for each design candidate and the best design solution from all feasible candidates. Both evaluation measures and their variations are considered in this robust design method.

Abstract:
The ability of case-based reasoning systems to solve novel problems depends on their capability to adapt past solutions to new circumstances. However, acquiring the knowledge required for case adaptation is a classic challenge for CBR. This motivates the use of machine learning methods to generate adaptation knowledge. A popular approach uses the case difference heuristic (CDH) to generate adaptation rules from pairs of cases in the case base, based on the premise that the observed differences in case solutions result from the differences in the problems they solve, so can form the basic of rules to adapt cases with similar problem differences. Extensive research has successfully applied the CDH approach to adaptation rule learning for case-based regression (numerical prediction) tasks. However, classification tasks have been outside of its scope. The work presented in this paper addresses that gap by extending CDH-based learning of adaptation rules to apply to cases with categorical features and solutions. It presents the generalized case value heuristic to assess case and solution differences and applies it in an ensemble-based case-based classification method, ensembles of adaptations for classification (EAC), built on the authors' previous work on ensembles of adaptations for regression (EAR). Experimental results support the effectiveness of EAC.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper we discuss the scope of the adaptation challenge facing world agriculture in the coming decades. Due to rising temperatures throughout the tropics, pressures for adaptation will be greatest in some of the poorest parts of the world where the adaptive capacity is least abundant. We discuss both autonomous (market driven) and planned adaptations, distinguishing: (a) those that can be undertaken with existing technology, (b) those that involve development of new technologies, and (c) those that involve institutional/market and policy reforms. The paper then proceeds to identify which of these adaptations are currently modeled in integrated assessment studies and related analyses at global scale. This, in turn, gives rise to recommendations about how these models should be modified in order to more effectively capture climate change adaptation in the farm and food sector. In general, we find that existing integrated assessment models are better suited to analyzing adaptation by relative well-endowed producers in the developed countries. They likely understate climate impacts on agriculture in developing countries, while overstating the potential adaptations. This is troubling, since the need for adaptation will be greatest amongst the lower income producers in the poorest tropical countries. This is also where policies and public investments are likely to have the highest payoff. We conclude with a discussion of opportunities for improving the empirical foundations of integrated assessment modeling with an emphasis on the poorest countries.
