The article discusses the issues of industry-specific translation training in the sphere of business at a non-linguistic educational institution. First of all, the urgency of designing innovative vocational translation courses, meeting the requirements of the rapidly changing world, is grounded by the authors. It is based on the necessity of implementing the principles of Bologna process, namely, of the principle of Lifelong Learning (LLL). Then, the authors present literature reviews necessary for conducting the research which state that business discourse is considered as part of economic discourse and describe its main characteristics that should be taken into account while teaching and training students-translators. In order to illuminate peculiarities and problematic issues connected with translators training the authors investigate specific features of business translation, such as translation of proper names, addresses, names of the companies and their products, companies legal forms, etc., and some translation techniques used to cope with the existing problems. Finally, the vocational training program "Translator in the Sphere of Professional Communication" implemented at the International Institute of Economics and Linguistics of Irkutsk State University is described, including the professional competences to be formed, subjects aimed at the development of students' translation skills, methods of control and assessment, etc. It is argued that such programs are rational and justified by the fact that the students have better prerequisites for being competent translators due to having special economic and business knowledge, and its graduates meet the needs of the modern labour market including the development of their hard and soft skills.
The paper presents a research of the influence of external factors on the measurement of a basic soil quality parameter. Developed system based on Arduino platform is used for measurement of basic soil parameter acidity. Research of the influence of temperature and soil type on the measurement of soil acidity is carried out. The system has been experimentally tested with soil samples from two main types of soil in Bulgaria. The results for the soil parameters obtained with the Arduino based system are compared with a reference measuring instrument. The presented Arduino based system for soil parameters measurements shows good measurement accuracy sufficient for engineering research.
The paper presents web based microprocessor system for measurement of soil quality parameters (pH, electrical conductivity and soil moisture). The system is implemented by selecting suitable devices to measure the quantities and transmit and record the information based on Arduino platform. The software of the controller and a graphical user mobile applications interface have been developed for system setup, visualization and processing of the collected data. The developed program code is based on modules which makes it easy for using of additional sensors. Laboratory tests have been made to investigate the system's performance.
