Doelstelling:
Onder doelstelling verstaan we het gewenste eindresultaat. Als een website een oplossing is voor een probleem–een *middel* om ergens te komen–dan is de doelstelling datgene *wáár* men uiteindelijk wil komen.
Voorbeeld van een probleem, oplossing en eindresultaat:
Een bedrijf of instantie heeft een helpdesk waar klanten naar toe kunnen bellen. Dit informatienummer van de helpdesk is echter altijd overbezet. De wachttijden zijn onredelijk lang, waardoor bellers geïrriteerd reageren zodra ze iemand aan de lijn krijgen. Ook worden er schriftelijke klachten ingediend over de slechte bereikbaarheid die door een apart team worden behandeld. Het probleem is hier dat de overbezetting van het informatienummer zowel irritatie bij klanten oplevert als extra werk voor het bedrijf. Het bedrijf realiseert zich, na onderzoek, dat de helpdeskmedewerkers vaak dezelfde vragen krijgen. Een mogelijke oplossing voor dit probleem is het laten bouwen van een website, waar veelgestelde vragen kunnen worden beantwoord.
| Translation - English
Goal:
A goal refers to a desired result. If a website is a solution for a problem, a *means* to achieve a goal, then the goal refers to *where* one wants to get.
Example of a problem, solution and result:
A company has a help desk to take calls from customers. The waiting time to get through to the helpdesk though is unreasonably long, and customers respond irritated by the time they get to a support assistant. Customers also file written complaints about how hard it is to reach support, which are processed by a separate team. The problem is that the high call load to the help desk causes irritated customers, and extra work for the company. Investigation shows that support assistants at the help desk often get the same questions from customers. A possible solution for this problem is creating a website that answers frequently asked questions (faq’s).

Phase I Trials Demonstrate Safety of Kahalalide F in Prostate Cancer Patients
PharmaMar has presented Phase I and Pharmacokinetic results of Kahalalide F at the 40th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), taking place in New Orleans from 5-8 June.
A poster presented by Dr. Jos H. Beijnen et al, The Netherlands Cancer Institute, detailed the results from: "A Phase I and Pharmacokinetic study of Kahalalide F given intravenously over one hour, during five consecutive days every three weeks in patients with advanced or metastatic androgen refractory prostate cancer."
The objectives of the study were to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose, explore the pharmacokinetics and document the anti-tumour activity of Kahalalide F. The setting was patients suffering from androgen independent prostate tumours. Thirty-two patients were registered with a median age of 68 years. They had metastases to the bone, lymph nodes, liver and/or lungs and had received prior hormone therapy, radiotherapy and/or surgery.
Overall, hematologic toxicities were negligible and were not clearly dose-related. Using the NCIC-CTC (National Cancer Institute of Canada - Common Toxicity Criteria) classification, G1 anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia were observed in 22 patients. G2 anemia and neutropenia occurred in 8 patients. There were no G3 or G4 hematologic toxicities. Other side effects observed were nausea & vomiting, fatigue, hematuria and hypersensitivity reactions, none of which were at G4. The major drug related toxicity was rapidly reversible transaminase elevation at G3/G4.
The conclusion of the study was that Kahalalide F can be administered safely as a 1-hour intravenous infusion during five consecutive days at a dose of 560 mg/msquared/day once every three weeks. Future studies in hormone refractory advanced prostate cancer are warranted.
Dr Miguel Angel Izquierdo, Director of Clinical Development at PharmaMar, said:
"These results are consistent with previous studies undertaken with Kahalalide F. We are impressed by the safety profile of the product and are on track to continue the development of this compound."

Fase I proeven tonen veiligheid van Kahalalide F voor Prostaatkankerpatiënten aan
Op de 40e jaarlijkse bijeenkomst van de American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in New Orleans van 5 tot 8 juni heeft PharmaMar de resultaten van fase 1 onderzoek en de farmacokinetische gegevens van Kahalalide F bekend gemaakt.
Een poster, gepresenteerd door Dr. Jos H. Beijnen et. al. van het Nederlands Kankerinstituut, laat de resulaten zien van "Fase I en farmacokinetisch onderzoek naar Kahalalide F, gedurende 1 uur intraveneus toegediend op vijf achtereenvolgende dagen, en driewekelijks herhaald, bij patiënten met gevorderd of gemetastaseerd hormoonrefractair prostaatkanker."
Het doel van de studie was de veiligheid en de maximaal getolereerde dosis van Kahalalide F vast te stellen, de opname, verwerking en uitscheiding ervan te onderzoeken, en de effectiviteit te documenteren. Het onderzoek werd gedaan onder patiënten met hormoonongevoelig prostaatkanker.Tweeëndertig patiënten met een mediane leeftijd van 68 jaar namen aan het onderzoek deel. De patiënten hadden uitzaaiingen naar het bot, de lymfeklieren, de lever en/of de longen, en waren reeds behandeld met hormoontherapie, bestraling en/of geopereerd.
Het onderzoek toonde aan dat hematologische toxiciteit verwaarloosd kon worden, en niet duidelijk met de dosis samenhing.Gebruikmakend van het classificatiesysteem van het Nationale Kankerinstituut in Canada (NCIC-CTC - National Cancer Institute of Canada - Common Toxicity Criteria), werd G1 anemie, trombocytopenie en neutropenie bij 22 patiënten vastgesteld. G2 anemie en neutropenie kwam voor bij 8 patiënten.
Er werd geen G3 of G4 hematologische toxiciteit gevonden. Andere bijwerkingen, zoals misselijkheid en braken, vermoeidheid, hematurie en overgevoeligheidsreacties bereikten geen G4 niveau. De belangrijkste druggerelateerde toxiciteit was een snel-reversibele transaminase op het niveau van G3/G4.
De conclusie van de studie was dat Kahalalide F veilig in de vorm van een 1-uur durend infuus van 560 mg/m²/dag gedurende 5 achtereenvolgende dagen kan worden toegediend, en iedere drie weken kan worden herhaald. Toekomstig onderzoek naar hormoonrefractair gevorderd prostaatkanker is aanbevolen.
Dr Miguel Angel Izquierdo, Directeur Klinische Ontwikkeling bij PharmaMar, zei:
"De resultaten zijn in overeenstemming met eerdere onderzoeken naar Kahalalide F. Wij zijn onder de indruk van het veiligheidsprofiel, en bezig deze stof verder te ontwikkelen.”

I have a drive to be exact and look for a good understanding of the context of information to get the right message across. With an interest in a wide range of topics, an eagerness to familiarize myself with new information, and always applying a “scoping” attitude, I have an expanded view of what translation is about. I prefer to translate in my own fields (see below). Special interests include manuals (logical presentation of information), poetry, expressions, slogans, mission statements, quotes and domain names. To assist in translations I have access to a personal support network in the fields of psychology, business and management, medicine, biology, economics, natural health care, physiotherapy, construction, politics and international development, translation, philosophy, spirituality and religion. My actual translation experience is limited but I am confident that I can offer satisfying and competitive results.
My approach to translation:
Translation comes from Trans Relatus, meaning “Beyond Bringing Back.” Translation needs to go beyond correctly returning original words in another language. It may include translating into a different cultural context with different cultural facts, as with “localization” of websites. But that holds true for more traditional texts as well. Translation includes “interpretation” – and finding the right words for what the author intends to say. In other instances it may be essential to keep flavors of local elements, and skillfully bring the reader over into it, by being knowledgeable and sensitive about associated facts and history of words. Translation usually requires good knowledge of the translated topic and most definitely goes “beyond bringing back.“
Background in Psychology/Business/Management/Systems/Social Sciences/Philosophy/Spirituality:
I studied psychology at the University of Tilburg and received my BA in 1983. Highest graded courses were Psychology of Religion, Historical Psychology and Philosophical Anthropology. I did master’s courses in Clinical and Theoretical Psychology at the University of Utrecht, then went back to Tilburg to study Organizational Psychology, focusing on Organizational Learning (as requirement in a continuous changing environment) and Soft Systems Methodology (as a systems approach to the learning and problem solving process). I wrote a teaching manual on SSM for O&E, Philips, Eindhoven, and other study paper topics were on critical psychology, anti-psychiatry, science, sexual abuse in psychotherapy, Freud’s revision of his early seduction theory, on narcissism according to Alice Miller and Christopher Lasch. I enjoy teaching, explaining complex concepts, and was awarded a student teaching assistantship at the University of Utrecht in “Philosophy of Science.”
Experience with graphic and web design, photography, computer skills, music, business, painting:
As a pianist and percussionist in a local band for 7 years, I involved myself in graphic and web design, SEO and e-commerce, and keep doing this under the name of TaoContact. I am interested in how to best organize and present information, and in usability design for an uplifting online experience. I am working towards a line of greeting cards with text, quotes, and my own photography. In the US I have 10 years experience as owner of Dutch Girl Painting & Wallpapering, acquiring knowledge in the painting & construction business.
Interest in medicine, nutrition, food, cooking, ecology & environment:
I grew up in a medical family. Before moving to the US I participated for over 10 years in volunteer organizations advocating renter's interests, locally and nationally. Raising children with allergies, I acquired knowledge of nutrition, immunizations, and natural health care, in addition to work experience in health food stores in the Netherlands.
Other languages:
I studied French and German for 6 years in high school. Although not fluent in these languages, I find it helps to be familiar with multiple languages and I have used French and German sources next to their translations into English as the source for my translation into Dutch.
Bonus: From the preface of my master's internship paper, on the topic of grammatical gender (translated):
"Finally: since concepts don't bother me as much as the reality around 'he' and 'she' does, I will keep using 'he' until a changed world naturally asks for new terminology. In the meantime I don't have any problem -using correct Dutch language- calling a "human being" male, knowing that the group, the organization, her identity, decisiveness, independence, vision and viability as female nouns more than compensate for that. Fortunately, insight and understanding are grammatically neutral."
Or, in Dutch:
"Tot slot: daar ik mij niet stoor aan begrippen doch hooguit aan de werkelijkheid omtrent 'hij' en 'zij', blijf ik 'hij' gebruiken tot een veranderde wereld vanzelf om andere termen vraagt. Voor het overige heb ik er -naar goed taalgebruik- geen enkel probleem mee 'de mens' mannelijk te noemen, wetende dat de groep en de organisatie, haar identiteit, daadkracht, zelfstandigheid, visie en levensvatbaarheid daar allemaal als vrouwelijk tegenover staan. Gelukkig zijn uiteindelijk inzicht en begrip onzijdig."
