Opportunities and possibilities should be highlighted, as should key development initiatives and expenditure, and growth projects. Business Appraisal presents business unit management teams with an opportunity to discuss with the Appraisal team investment proposals that are subsequently put forward to the Investment and Divestment Committee for approval.Management should identify the levels of replacement expenditure (together with maintenance spend) that are required to maintain the business; the quantum and nature of expansion expenditure that is contemplated; and how these investments support the strategy that has previously been discussed.
Medical Translation:
How often should my child's electrolytes be checked? The child's electrolytes will be checked as part of the initial diagnosis to determine if he has NDI. Usually, this will happen when the child is an infant. The optimum drug regime for the infant will be in part determined by his electrolyte count. To determine the effectiveness of the drug regime, and to make any necessary adjustments in it, the infant will probably have to have his electrolyte count checked every two weeks, at first. The infant will then have his electrolytes checked once a month, then, slowly, the checks can be spaced to once every half year. Children who were diagnosed in infancy or when very young will only be required to have his electrolytes checked annually by the time they are six or seven. There may be, however, situations in which the electrolyte count must again be checked more frequently. For example, the child may develop an illness that dehydrates him and adversely affect his electrolyte count.
| Translation - German Investitionsaufwand und Investitionen
Günstige Gelegenheiten und Möglichkeiten sollten näher beleuchtet werden, wichtige Entwicklungsinitiativen, Ausgaben und Wachstumsprojekte hervorgehoben werden. Die Bewertung bietet den Managementteams der Geschäftsbereiche eine Gelegenheit, mit dem Bewertungsteam Investitionsangelegenheiten in einem Gesamtbild zu erörtern. In großem Zusammenhang können alle Vorschläge zu Investitionen unterstützt und dann dem Komitee, das für Investitionen und Beteiligungsverkäufe zuständig ist, zur Genehmigung vorgelegt werden. Die Geschäftsführung sollte die Höhe der Wiederbeschaffungskosten (zusammen mit Instandhaltungsausgaben), die zur Aufrechterhaltung des Geschäftsbereichs erforderlich sind, genau bestimmen; ferner sollte sie die Art der Expansion und die Höhe der dafür als notwendig erachteten Ausgaben festlegen; außerdem die Art und Weise, wie diese Investitionen die Strategie, die zuvor erörtert wurde, unterstützen sollen.
Medizinischer Text:
Wie oft sollten bei meinem Kind mit NDI die Elektrolyte untersucht werden? Die Elektrolyte des Kindes werden während der einleitenden Diagnostik zur Feststellung eines möglichen NDI untersucht. Normalerweise geschieht dies im Kleinkindalter. Die optimale Medikamentengabe bei Kleinkindern wird zum Teil vom Elektrolyt-Ergebnis abhängig gemacht. Zur Feststellung der Wirksamkeit der Medikamentendosierung und um den notwendigen Angleich zu schaffen, müssen beim Kleinkind wahrscheinlich zu Beginn alle zwei Wochen die Elektrolytwerte überprüft werden. Danach werden bein Kleinkind die Elektrolytwerte einmal monatlich überprüft. Schließlich können die Untersuchungen allmählich in halbjährlichen Abständen erfolgen. Kinder, bei denen im Kleinkindalter oder bereits im Säuglingsalter NDI diagnostiziert wurde, müssen ihre Elektrolytwerte einmal jährlich überprüfen lassen, wenn sie das 6. oder 7. Lebensjahr erreicht haben. Es kann jedoch Situationen geben, in denen die Elektrolytwerte wieder häufiger überprüft werden müssen. Zum Beispiel, wenn das Kind eine Krankheit bekommt, die ihm Wasser entzieht und seine Elektrolytwerte negativ beeinflusst.

Having refreshed my knowledge of Italian (it was my language of habitual use from 1979 to 1982), I am now in a position to take on Italian to German translations of a general nature as well. I have taken on a larger translation assignment in this language combination lately (World War II eye-witness account) and I will soon post some excerpts in my portfolio here.
References are available upon request. For some samples of previous work, please visit "Portfolio".
Since my husband, Ernst-Walter Siemon, www.ewsiemon.de, is a voice-over artist, I can also offer you package solutions combining his voice-over work with my translations.
