Since post-editing of machine translation has become a widespread practice in the language service industry, post-editing training has been increasingly included in translation courses. The purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility of implementing a virtual community of practice (VCoP) in training future post-editors that meet the market's needs. A VCoP refers to a social group sharing a common interest in an argument or a problem, interacting with each other by networks (Davis and Goodman 2014).

Abstract:
Domestic, sexual, and gender-based abuse (DSGBA) is a complex societal issue with implications for individuals, families, and communities. According to the World Health Organisation, violence remains a pervasive problem, affecting one in three women globally. Addressing this complex issue requires the coordinated efforts of all agencies involved in the intervention and prevention of DSGBA. Despite shared goals, these agencies predominantly operate independently, resulting in the development of their own knowledge bases. Recognising the negative implications of agencies developing isolated know

IntroductionEmpowering people living with multimorbidity (multiple chronic conditions) to gain greater confidence in managing their health can enhance their quality of life. Education focused on self-management is a key tool for fostering patient empowerment and is mostly provided on an individual basis. Virtual communities of practice (VCoP) present a unique opportunity for online education in chronic condition self-management within a social context. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness/cost-effectiveness of individualised, online self-management education compared with VCoP amon

Abstract:
The main aim of this study is to review the literature to show how ideas around virtual communities of practice (VCoP) offer a model for supporting informal caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients (caregivers) to learn how to deal with caregiving demands. Caregivers are individuals who have a significant personal relationship with and provide a broad range of unpaid assistance to an older person or an adult with a chronic or disabling condition outside of a professional or formal framework. This review will examine the current evidence on the needs of caregivers, identify dimensions to be considere

Abstract:
Caring for a person with dementia burdens family caregivers, and there is a close negative relationship between this burden and their quality of life (QoL). Research suggests that caregivers’ main needs are information and training about the disease and support from others experiencing the same situation, and Internet interventions hold considerable promise for meeting these needs. Virtual communities of practice (VCoPs) are Internet frameworks to share knowledge where members collaborate and achieve a sense of trust in the community.

Methods: Serum levels of nine steroids were measured by mass spectrometry from continuously castrated patients of the PR.7 study (n=219) and from the PCA24 cohort (n=116). For each steroid, standard curves for dose-dependent prostate-specific antigen promoter activation were built in castration-sensitive (LAPC4) and resistant (VCaP) PCa models.

Abstract Introduction: Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP), a protein phosphatase and 5’ecto-nucleotidase, is expressed in prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastases and correlates with poor survival. Growing evidence suggests that PAP is not regulated by androgens, but rather by factors in the tumor microenvironment. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that PAP is a marker for a more progenitor type PCa cell and its expression is androgen-independent, persisting in castration-resistant disease.
