102 Bundesrat
Bun·des·rat1. Bun·des·rat m¿Kultur?The Bundesrat - the Upper House of the German Parliament is composed of members of the individual state governments. The number of representatives is determined by the size of the state. The Bundesrat plays a role in the passing of legislation. In Austria, the Bundesrat is the part of parliament where the Länder - provinces are represented according to their population. The exact number of representatives from the provinces is stipulated by the Federal President after each national census. In Switzerland however, the Bundesrat is the government, which consists of seven members who are elected for four years and is chaired by the Federal President.2.

105 inclusive
•• * Тяжелое для перевода слово. Конечно, в некоторых контекстах можно найти удачный вариант без особого труда. Например, в одном из документов ООН:
•• The debate in ECOSOC should become more inclusive. – Дискуссия в ЭКОСОС должна стать более широкой по охвату участников.
•• Заголовок статьи: Building an inclusive world economy. Может быть, Создание мировой экономики, открытой для всех.
•• NATO and EU need to be inclusive organizations. Здесь открытые для всех явно не подходит – это противоречит фактической стороне дела, весьма жестким требованиям к претендентам на членство в этих организациях. Но в зависимости от интерпретации этой фразы может быть принято либо широкие по составу участников, либо действующие на недискриминационной основе.
•• В предложении With 55 member states, the OSCE is the only inclusive pan-European organization знание ситуации подсказывает перевод единственная универсальная ( по составу участников) европейская организация.
•• В статье о ситуации в Эстонии:
•• Both Mr. Ruutel and the Center-Reform coalition government adopted a more inclusive approach towards the Russian minority, including the registration of the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in 2002.
•• Более недискриминационный подход, пожалуй, плохо. Скорее менее дискриминационный, но, может быть, просто более благоприятное отношение к русскому меньшинству.
•• (Вообще говоря, прилагательные, оканчивающиеся на - ive, как правило, создают трудности в переводе на русский язык. Так, на переговорах по ракетам средней дальности в начале 1980-х годов пришлось изобрести слово интрузивный (по аналогии с медицинским инвазивный) – американцы говорили об intrusive verification/inspections. Я, правда, и тогда считал, и сейчас продолжаю думать, что ничего страшного не было бы, если бы мы говорили о проникающем контроле – смысл в любом случае нуждается в некотором пояснении, но русское слово мне при прочих равных нравится больше. А вот пример, где слово intrusive в переводе лучше для большей ясности развернуть:
•• Bush, who campaigned as a nice guy who would calm the roiled waters of Washington but not upset the status quo, has defied the basic assumptions about everything from the role of the federal government in education ( making it much more intrusive) to the conduct of foreign policy ( making it much less deferential to the views of other nations). (Washington Post)
•• Речь здесь идет о более активном вмешательстве федеральных властей в сферу образования.)
•• В последнее время inclusiveness (вариант – inclusivity) все чаще встречается как своего рода термин, смысл которого можно было бы выразить формулой «открытость для всех». Стержневой компонент смысла этого слова, на мой взгляд, недискриминационность ( недопущение дискриминации). Думаю, это слово может быть иногда приемлемым вариантом перевода. Интересно, что нередко в качестве квазисинонима используется слово tolerance. Вот интересная и по необходимости длинная цитата, относящаяся к скандалу с итальянским премьером Берлускони:
•• Berlusconi is not your ordinary Euro-pol. He’s a self-made media magnate, the wealthiest man in Italy, a conservative given to straight talk, and a magnet for controversies. Many center on the conflict of interest between his media empire and his political office, which is what Schulz was going after when he got hammered. All this makes for good “ summer theater” - the scandals that fill European papers during the political dog days. But it is not the man who represents Europe who is supposed to supply the grist. His task is to set a tone of tolerance and inclusivity. (International Herald Tribune)
•• Здесь, наверное, открытое/благожелательное отношение ко всем было бы неплохим вариантом, хотя это и длинновато. (Кстати, отсутствующее в ABBYY Lingvo dog days – здесь мертвый сезон).
•• В следующем примере я бы перевел inclusiveness как забота о недискриминационности:
•• Instead of covering all the bases, we wish the president would show himself willing to spend more of his political capital on inclusiveness.
•• На сайте www.diversitydtg.com можно найти огромное количество материала, отражающего разные аспекты концепций diversity и inclusivity. Здесь можно найти и inclusive strategies, и inclusivity initiatives, и inclusive work environment, и другие подобные выражения. Во всех этих случаях недопущение дискриминации, недискриминационность вполне подойдут.

109 Scheutz, George
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. 23 September 1785 Jonkoping, Swedend. 27 May 1873 Stockholm, Sweden[br]Swedish lawyer, journalist and self-taught engineer who, with his son Edvard Raphael Scheutz (b. 13 September 1821 Stockholm, Sweden; d. 28 January 1881 Stockholm, Sweden) constructed a version of the Babbage Difference Engine.[br]After early education at the Jonkoping elementary school and the Weixo Gymnasium, George Scheutz entered the University of Lund, gaining a degree in law in 1805. Following five years' legal work, he moved to Stockholm in 1811 to work at the Supreme Court and, in 1814, as a military auditor. In 1816, he resigned, bought a printing business and became editor of a succession of industrial and technical journals, during which time he made inventions relating to the press. It was in 1830 that he learned from the Edinburgh Review of Babbage's ideas for a difference engine and started to make one from wood, pasteboard and wire. In 1837 his 15-yearold student son, Edvard Raphael Scheutz, offered to make it in metal, and by 1840 they had a working machine with two five-digit registers, which they increased the following year and then added a printer. Obtaining a government grant in 1851, by 1853 they had a fully working machine, now known as Swedish Difference Engine No. 1, which with an experienced operator could generate 120 lines of tables per hour and was used to calculate the logarithms of the numbers 1 to 10,000 in under eighty hours. This was exhibited in London and then at the Paris Great Exhibition, where it won the Gold Medal. It was subsequently sold to the Dudley Observatory in Albany, New York, for US$5,000 and is now in a Chicago museum.In England, the British Registrar-General, wishing to produce new tables for insurance companies, and supported by the Astronomer Royal, arranged for government finance for construction of a second machine (Swedish Difference Engine No. 2). Comprising over 1,000 working parts and weighing 1,000 lb (450 kg), this machine was used to calculate over 600 tables. It is now in the Science Museum.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsMember of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, Paris Exhibition Medal of Honour (jointly with Edvard) 1856.

117 Pintasilgo, Maria de Lourdes
(1930-2004)Catholic leader and social activist, chemical engineer, and politician. Born in Abrantes, to a middle class family, Pintasilgo had a distinguished record as a student in her Lisbon high school and at Lisbon's Instituto Superior Técnico where, in 1953, she graduated with an engineering degree in industrial chemistry. For seven years, she worked as an engineer for the Portuguese conglomerate Companhia União Fabril (CUF). A progressive Catholic who never formally joined a political party, Pintasilgo became a top lay Catholic leader in Portugal, as well as an influential, international Catholic leader in Catholic student, lay, and women's associations. She also attended Lisbon's Catholic University, where she became a student leader. During the final period of the dictatorship under Marcello Caetano, she held various government posts related to social welfare and women's affairs. In the first provisional government following the Revolution of 25 April 1974, Pintasilgo was secretary of state for social welfare and, by early 1975, became minister of social affairs. That same year, she became Portugal's first ambassador to the United Nations Educational and Social Organization.In July 1979, she became prime minister, following a call from President António Ramalho Eanes, and served in a caretaker role until January 1980. During her brief term, she worked to improve social security coverage and health and social welfare. She was Portugal's first woman prime minister and, following Britain's Margaret Thatcher, was Europe's second woman to serve in that office. In 1986, she ran as an independent for the presidency of the Republic but was unsuccessful. In 1987, she began a two-year term following election as a member of the European Parliament. She died suddenly and unexpectedly in July 2004.Historical dictionary of Portugal > Pintasilgo, Maria de Lourdes
