The quality of translation is a complex concept that has always generated great controversy in the field of translation and interpretation. Despite a large number of studies aimed at investigating the quality of translated tourist brochures, up to now there has been no research involving a translational analysis of the quality of Spanish tourist printed materials translated into Russian. Our decision to focus on only two parameters - lexical and grammatical accuracy - is based, on the one hand, on findings from translational studies devoted to the quality of translation in other languages; and on the other hand, on our perception after reading many different tourist brochures translated into Russian, that these parameters tend to be neglected. This article discusses the results of a pilot study conducted in 2012 whose objective was to measure the impact of the two parameters in question on the overall perception of the text of a translated tourist brochure by the target reader.

The Bellagio report on healthy agriculture, healthy nutrition, healthy people is the result of the meeting held at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center in Lake Como, Italy, 29 october-2 november 2012. The meeting was science-based but policy-oriented. The role and amount of healthy and unhealthy fats, with attention to the relative content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, sugar, and particularly fructose in foods that may underlie the epidemics of non-communicable diseases (NCD's) worldwide were extensively discussed. The report concludes that sugar consumption, especially in the form of high energy fructose in soft drinks, poses a major and insidious health threat, especially in children, and most diets, although with regional differences, are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids and too high in omega-6 fatty acids. Gene-nutrient interactions in growth and development and in disease prevention are fundamental to health, therefore regional Centers on Genetics, Nutrition and Fitness for Health should be established worldwide. Heads of state and government must elevate, as a matter of urgency, Nutrition as a national priority, that access to a healthy diet should be considered a human right and that the lead responsibility for Nutrition should be placed in Ministries of Health rather than agriculture so that the health requirements drive agricultural priorities, not vice versa. Nutritional security should be given the same priority as food security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
