English to Estonian: "Drive" by Daniel H. Pink General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English This is a book about motivation. I will show that much of what we believe about the subject just isn’t so— and that the insights that Harlow and Deci began uncovering a few decades ago come much
closer to the truth. The problem is that most businesses haven’t caught up to this new understanding of what motivates us. Too many
organizations— not just companies, but governments and nonprofits as well— still operate from assumptions about human potential and
individual performance that are outdated, unexamined, and rooted more in folklore than in science. They continue to pursue practices
such as short-term incentive plans and pay-for- performance schemes in the face of mounting evidence that such measures usually don’t
work and often do harm. Worse, these practices have infiltrated our schools, where we ply our future workforce with iPods, cash, and pizza coupons to “incentivize” them to learn. Something has gone wrong.
Translation - Estonian See raamat räägib motivatsioonist. Saame näha, et väga palju sellest, mida me usume, lihtsalt ei ole nii, ning et Deci ja Harlow’ poolt aastakümneid tagasi avastatud tõdemused on tõele hoopis lähemal. Kahjuks ei ole suurem osa ettevõtteist omaks võtnud seda uut arusaama sellest, mis meid motiveerib. Liiga paljudes organisatsioonides – mitte ainult firmades, aga ka valitsustes ja mittetulundussektoris – kehtivad ikka veel vananenud, uuendamata ja pigem folkloorist kui teadusest pärinevad tõekspidamised inimese võimekuse ja teostuse kohta. Endiselt on kasutusel lühiajalised ergutusmeetodid ja saavutuse eest maksmine, kuigi järjest enam ilmneb tõestusmaterjali selle kohta, et sellised võtted ei toimi ning on sageli isegi kahjulikud. Mis veelgi hullem, nendest meetoditest on läbi imbunud ka koolid, kus meie tulevast tööjõudu ärgitatakse usinamalt õppima iPod’ide, sularaha ja pitsakupongidega. Kuskil on midagi valesti läinud.
English to Estonian: Notice to Members: Question for Question Time in committee 0002/2013 General field: Other Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English Following its answer to the written question E-007092/2012, the Commission has since
announced that it will not be updating the EU Alcohol Strategy, despite the fact that alcohol
consumption is a contributing factor for over 60 diseases and disorders, and Europe has the
highest rates of consumption of alcohol in the world (12.5 litres per capita). In addition, it is
estimated that €155 billion of the social costs attributable to alcohol in Europe, including
traffic accidents, absenteeism and lost productivity in the workplace, are associated with
alcohol dependence. Alcohol is the world’s number one risk for ill-health and premature death
amongst the 25-59 year old age group, a core of the working age population.
Translation - Estonian Vastuseks kirjalikule küsimusele E-007092/2012 teatas komisjon, et ELi alkoholistrateegiat ei
uuendata, vaatamata asjaolule, et alkoholitarbimine soodustab üle 60 haiguse ja tervisehäire teket ja et Euroopas on alkoholitarbimise tase maailma kõrgeim (12,5 liitrit elaniku kohta).
Lisaks on arvestatud, et alkoholisõltuvusega on seotud 155 miljardi euroni küündivad sotsiaalkulud Euroopas, muu hulgas liiklusõnnetuste, töölt puudumise ja töö tootlikkuse languse tõttu. Alkohol on peamine riskitegur terviseprobleemide tekkimisel ja enneaegsete surmajuhtumite põhjustamisel tööealise elanikkonna seas (25–59-aastased).
