The path forward for sustainability of the pension system in a historical context by J. Mertl, R. Valenčík

“…When reforming the pension system in this manner the opportunity arises to begin gradual changes through fully merit system reform and therefore significantly motivating of extending the period of productivity (putting off retirement) through the upgrade of this system for persons who have reached the retirement age as specified by law.This paper aims to substantiate and explore possible changes in this direction that will not endanger anyone’s entitlements when the reforms are implemented (they have got the form of Pareto improvement), as they derive their funds by extending the time of individual productivity. …”

Language and business: Patterns in the annual report translations of public companies in Indonesia by Emma Natasha Octoveria, Aris Munandar

“…Patterns in translating annual reports from Indonesian to English were identified, namely the use of explicitations and implicitations in interactional, cohesive, and denotational manners through translation shifts. The results of this study suggest that annual report translation was made possible through shifts involving changes in syntactic structure and the choice of information to be added, omitted, or substituted.…”

Identification of Behavioral Features of Bridge Structure Based on Static Image Sequences by Guojun Deng, Zhixiang Zhou, Xi Chu, Shuai Shao

“…The research results show that the output data of our NRS method were basically consistent with the finite-element prediction (maximum error: 11.11%) and dial gauge measurement (maximum error: 12.12%); the NRS method is highly sensitive to the actual deformation of the bridge structure under different damage conditions and can capture the deformation in a continuous and accurate manner. Compared with the limited number of measuring points, holographic deformation data also shows higher sensitivity in damage identification.…”
