Spanish to English: COMPANY FINANCIAL REPORT General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Accounting
Source text - Spanish M) INGRESOS Y GASTOS
Los ingresos y gastos se imputan en función del criterio de devengo, es decir, cuando se produce la corriente real de bienes y servicios que los mismos representan, con independencia del momento en que se produzca la corriente monetaria o financiera derivada de ellos. Dichos ingresos se valoran por el valor razonable de la contraprestación recibida, deducidos descuentos e impuestos.
El reconocimiento de los ingresos por ventas se produce en el momento en que se han transferido al comprador los riesgos y beneficios significativos inherentes a la propiedad del bien vendido, no manteniendo la gestión corriente sobre dicho bien, ni reteniendo el control efectivo sobre el mismo.
En cuanto a los ingresos por prestación de servicios, éstos se reconocen considerando el grado de realización de la prestación a la fecha de balance, siempre y cuando el resultado de la transacción pueda ser estimado con fiabilidad.
Los intereses recibidos de activos financieros se reconocen utilizando el método del tipo de interés efectivo y los dividendos, cuando se declara el derecho del accionista a recibirlos. En cualquier caso, los intereses y dividendos de activos financieros devengados con posterioridad al momento de adquisición se reconocen como ingresos en la cuenta de pérdidas y ganancias.
N) PROVISIONES Y CONTINGENCIAS
El Administrador Único de la Sociedad dominante en la formulación de las cuentas anuales consolidadas diferencian entre:
- Provisiones: saldos acreedores que cubren obligaciones actuales derivadas de sucesos pasados, cuya cancelación es probable que origine una salida de recursos, pero que resultan indeterminados en cuanto a su importe y/o momento de cancelación.
- Pasivos contingentes: obligaciones posibles surgidas como consecuencia de sucesos pasados, cuya materialización futura está condicionada a que ocurra, o no, uno o más eventos futuros independientes de la voluntad del Grupo.
Las cuentas anuales consolidadas recogen todas las provisiones significativas con respecto a las cuales se estima que la probabilidad de que se tenga que atender la obligación es mayor que de lo contrario. Los pasivos contingentes no se reconocen en las cuentas anuales consolidadas, sino que se informa sobre los mismos en las notas de la memoria, en la medida en que no sean considerados como remotos.
Las provisiones se valoran por el valor actual de la mejor estimación posible del importe necesario para cancelar o transferir la obligación, teniendo en cuenta la información disponible sobre el suceso y sus consecuencias, y registrándose los ajustes que surjan por la actualización de dichas provisiones como un gasto financiero conforme se va devengando.
La compensación a recibir de un tercero en el momento de liquidar la obligación, siempre que no existan dudas de que dicho reembolso será percibido, se registra como activo, excepto en el caso de que exista un vínculo legal por el que se haya exteriorizado parte del riesgo, y en virtud del cual el Grupo no esté obligado a responder; en esta situación, la compensación se tendrá en cuenta para estimar el importe por el que, en su caso, figurará la correspondiente provisión.
Translation - English M) REVENUE AND EXPENSES
Revenues and expenses are recognised when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises. These revenues are valued at the fair value of the consideration received, with discounts and taxes deduced.
Sales revenues are recognised when the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the good sold have been transferred to the buyer, without retaining either current management of or effective control over the said good.
15. Revenues from rendering of services are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date, provided the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably.
The interest received from financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method, and dividends are recorded when declared. In any case, the interest and dividends for financial assets paid after acquisition have been identified as income in the profit and loss account.
N) PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Sole Administrator of the parent company, when drawing up the consolidated annual accounts, differentiates between:
- Provisions: credits balances covering present obligations arising from past events whose cancellation is likely to cause an outflow of resources, but are uncertain as to amount and/or time of cancellation.
- Contingent liabilities: possible obligations arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Group.
16. The consolidated annual statements include all the material provisions with respect to which it is considered that it is more likely than not that the obligation will have to be settled. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements, but rather are disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow in settlement is considered to be remote.
17. Provisions are calculated at the present value the best possible estimate on the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation, taking into account the information available on the event and its consequences, and recording the adjustments arising from the updating of such provisions as a financial expense as it becomes due.
18. The compensation to be received from a third party on settlement of the obligation is recognised as an asset, provided that there are no doubts that the reimbursement will take place, unless there is a legal relationship whereby a portion of the risk has been externalised as a result of which the Company is not liable; in this situation, the compensation will be taken into account for the purpose of estimating the amount of the related provision.

Source text - Spanish 4.4. Nanomanufacturing for interacting at a molecular scale
Los avances en microfabricación aditiva ya están permitiendo interactuar a nivel celular en múltiples actividades ligadas a la ingeniería de tejidos y a estudios asociados (generación de microcanales para analizar la motilidad celular, creación de microtexturas superficiales para promocionar el crecimiento de ciertos tipos de tejidos, entre otros). Todas estas actuaciones pueden verse optimizadas si se incide también en el empleo de tecnologías de nanofabricación, para potenciar ciertas interacciones a nivel molecular, con las que promocionar fenómenos químicos, tribológicos (de contacto) o fluídicos, como complemento a tecnologías de rapid prototyping especialmente precisas como las recogidas en la Tabla 1.
Puesto que los seres vivos presentan formas y funciones a diferentes escalas, de cara a imitar dichas estructuras naturales multiescala resulta de gran ayuda el empleo de ciertas tecnologías de rapid prototyping para la fabricación de microtexturas, como las ya descritas y en algunos casos empleando tecnologías como a la fotolitografía UV, cuya aplicación en microelectrónica es ampliamente conocida, si bien resulta extremadamente complejo aplicarla para obtener geometrías con detalles de dimensiones inferiores a 500 nm. Sin embargo, sobre dichas microtexturas, sí se pueden generar posteriormente nanoestructuras por auto-ensamblado de moléculas y construir así dispositivos médicos sensibles a estímulos muy concretos, matrices de sensores, sistemas ópticos y fluídicos, con numerosas aplicaciones a la hora de interactuar con sistemas biológicos y de cara al diagnóstico de reacciones y patologías de forma muy específica (Fan, 2000).
Destacan también los avances que aportan ciertas tecnologías de deposición física o química de vapor (PVD o CVD), especialmente las destinadas a obtener recubrimientos de carbono amorfo con alto contenido sp3, comúnmente denominado “diamond-like carbon”, cuya aplicación a la superficie de dispositivos implantables mejora enormemente su biocompatibilidad, sus propiedades frente a corrosión y desgaste, e incluso permite la incorporación de propiedades anti-bacterianeas dopando con ciertos metales como Ag o Pt (Zhang, 2008, Salgueiredo, 2008, Endrino, 2008). Ya se ha detallado su empleo para facilitar la obtención de circuitos celulares y posibilitar interacciones entre dispositivso y células nerviosas (Brown, 2003). Su aplicación sobre scaffolds para ingeniería de tejidos, obtenidos por tecnologías de “rapid prototyping” convencionales como la estereolitografía láser o el sinterizado selectivo por láser, presenta también un claro potencial a la hora de mejorar el comportamiento de numerosos substratos poliméricos (Díaz Lantada, 2010).
Translation - English 4.4. Nanomanufacturing for interacting at a molecular scale
Advances in additive microfabrication have already made it possible to interact at the cellular level in a number processes involved in tissue engineering and related studies (the generation of microchannels to analyze cell motility or surface microtextures to promote the growth of certain tissue types, among others). All these processes can be further optimized through the use of nanofabrication technologies, which help to produce certain interactions at the molecular level and promote chemical, tribological (in contact) or fluidic phenomena, in addition to the highly precise rapid prototyping technologies as shown in Table 1.
Living beings exhibit forms and functions at different levels, and in order to mimic these natural multi-level structures it helps to use techniques of rapid prototyping to manufacture microtextures. These techniques, as described earlier, sometimes use technologies such as UV photolithography, whose application in microelectronics is widely known, but it is very difficult to apply them when constructing geometries with details smaller than 500nm. Nevertheless, nanostructures can subsequently be generated on these microtextures through the self-assembly of molecules and thus build medical devices sensitive to very specific stimuli, arrays of sensors, and optical and fluidic systems. Such devices have numerous applications in interacting with biological systems and in generating highly specific diagnoses of reactions and pathologies (Fan, 2000).
Progress has also been made in technologies of physical or chemical deposition vapour (PVD or CVD), especially those designed to obtain coatings of amorphous carbon with high sp3 content, commonly called "diamond-like carbon". When this material is applied to the surface of implantable devices it greatly improves their biocompatibility, their capacity to resist corrosion and wear, and even allows for anti-bacterial properties to be incorporated by doping with metals such as Ag or Pt (Zhang, 2008, Salgueiredo, 2008, Blackthorn, 2008). Their use in facilitating the creation of cellular circuits and in allowing for interactions between devices and nerve cells has already been described (Brown, 2003). Their application to scaffolds for tissue engineering, obtained by conventional rapid prototyping technologies such as laser stereolithography or selective laser sintering, also has a clear potential in improving the behaviour of many polymeric substrates (Diaz Lanta, 2010 .)
Italian to English: ARTICLE ON PALESTINIAN SITUATION General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Italian GAZA: QUELLO CHE L’AMBASCIATORE ISRAELIANO IN ITALIA NON DICE
Qualche giorno fa Pubblico, il nuovo giornale fondato da Luca Telese, aveva dedicato la prima pagina al massacro dei bambini palestinesi a Gaza, con un titolo ("E se fossero i tuoi figli?") che nella sua secca semplicità ha fatto un certo scalpore . La risposta delle autorità israeliane in Italia non si è fatta attendere. L'ambasciatore Naor Gilon ha accolto la giornalista Stella Prudente con il giornale spalancato sul tavolo: "Vogliamo parlare di figli? I terroristi di Gaza stanno sparando sui nostri figli dal 2009", queste le parole infuocate esplose del rappresentante israeliano prima ancora dei saluti di rito.
"Le spiego cosa significa vivere con una minaccia simile alle porte di casa (...) Nessuno (sic! ) ne parla, ma tutto questo ha effetti psicologi tremendi anche sui bambini israeliani... Anche io ho tre figli in Israele in questo momento. La più piccola ha 18 anni, ma per me è ancora una bambina. Il pensiero di essere qui al sicuro mentre loro scappano nei bunker a nascondersi dai missili non mi rende particolarmente felice".
Al che, giustamente, la giornalista fa notare all'ambasciatore come una macabra ma lampante "matematica dei morti" veda le vittime civili palestinesi in testa, con più di un centinaio di morti da un lato e 3 dall'altro. Il diplomatico ribatte tranquillamente che sono i terroristi a farsi scudo dei civili, essendo gli attacchi dei cacciabombardieri israeliani "mirati" agli obiettivi strategici...
Proprio in tal senso la propaganda delle forze armate israeliane, l'IDF, aveva riversato sulla Striscia una pioggia di volantini in arabo che invitavano la popolazione a non frequentare membri di Hamas, per evitare di essere colpiti dai raid. La famiglia di tre persone, padre, madre e figlio, che viaggiava in auto nei pressi di Deir al-Balah, uccisi ieri da una bomba, oppure l'agricoltore falciato mentre si trovava da solo nel suo campo a Beit Lahiya avevano rispettato gli avvertimenti israeliani, ma a quanto pare non è bastato. Per non parlare di adolescenti e bambini, che nella Striscia rappresentano quasi la metà della popolazione totale. A Zeitun due ragazze ventenni ed un bambino di 5 anni sono stati dilaniati da un altro ordigno "intelligente".
"Le nostre forze di sicurezza usano sistemi tecnologici all'avanguardia. Nessun altro è in grado di intercettare i razzi con una simile precisione (...) Prendiamo misure cautelari ogni volta che si crea una situazione a rischio. Per questo i numeri sono dalla nostra parte . Ma quando passiamo alla rappresaglia, facciamo tutto il possibile per evitare vittime innocenti. Non è mai successo che puntassimo a civili".
Civili che, però, muoiono come mosche . Con "sistemi tecnologici all'avanguardia" l'ambasciatore intende lo scudo anti-missile Iron Dome, che ha permesso ad Israele di intercettare e deviare oltre 300 dei 640 razzi sparati contro i suoi territori. Un "lusso" - si fa per dire - che i palestinesi, non disponendo neppure di postazioni anti-aeree, non possono certo permettersi. I 1350 attacchi compiuti dai caccia israeliani in appena 6 giorni sono andati tutti a segno. Il che spiega come sia possibile che le vittime palestinesi, in meno di una settimana di conflitto, siano già più di un centinaio (111).
"Perché attaccare Gaza ora?", chiede la giornalista. L'ambasciatore esclude che si tratti di un'operazione politica della destra israeliana in vista delle elezioni di gennaio:
"C'è stato un attacco contro una jeep israeliana che pattugliava il confine. Israele ha risposto colpendo obiettivi strettamente militari e il risultato sono stati attacchi con razzi e missili da parte palestinese"
Quello che l'ambasciatore dimentica di dire ai lettori italiani è che, prima che un commando delle brigate Ezzedin al Qassam, il braccio armato di Hamas, sparasse un razzo contro una jeep dell'IDF in pattugliamento ferendo 3 militari, la mattina dell'8 novembre truppe israeliane avevano aperto il fuoco su un gruppo di "persone sospette" a Khan Younis, uccidendo un bambino di 12 anni, Hamid Abu Daqqa, che giocava a pallone nel giardino di casa.
Ora, dove comincia la ritorsione? Chi ha sparato per primo e chi ha risposto al fuoco? Sono domande che, in Palestina, trovano risposte diversissime a seconda di chi le ponga e di chi si prenda l'onere di rispondere.
Restiamo umani .
Translation - English GAZA: WHAT THE ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO ITALY DOES NOT SAY
A few days ago Pubblico, the new paper founded by Luca Telese, dedicated its front page to the massacre of Palestinian children in Gaza with a title so blunt and direct it was somewhat shocking: "E se fossero i tuoi figli?" (And if they were your children?). The Israeli authorities in Italy were quick to respond. The ambassador Naor Gilon received the journalist Stella Prudente with the newspaper laid out on the table, and before even greeting her he burst into a rage: "You want to talk about children? Terrorists from Gaza have been shooting our children since 2009". He continued:
“Let me explain what it means to live with such a threat on your doorstep (...) No one talks about it [what a shame!], but all this has a tremendous psychological impact, even on Israeli children... I also have three children in Israel right now. The youngest is 18, but to me she’s still a child. The thought of me being safe here in Italy while they have to flee to a bunker to escape from missiles does not make me particularly happy”.
Upon which the journalist quite rightly pointed out to the ambassador that if we look at the gruesome "death statistics", Palestinian civilian victims are clearly in the lead, with more than a hundred deaths on one side, and 3 on the other. The ambassador calmly retorted that it is the terrorists who are using human shields, and that the the attacks of Israeli fighter bombers are seen as a strategic objective...
It was this same view that inspired the propaganda exercise of the Israeli defence Forces, the IDF, in which thousands of leaflets in Arabic were dropped on the Gaza strip, calling on the population to avoid members of Hamas lest they fall victim to an air raid. And yet a family of three - father, mother and child - were killed by a bomb yesterday while travelling by car close to Deir al-Balah; a farmer was mowed down while he was on his own in his field in Beit Lahiya: they had all heeded the Israeli warnings, yet it hadn’t done them much good. Not to mention the children and teenagers who represent near half of the population in the Gaza strip. In Zeitun, two twenty-year-old girls and a five-year-old boy were slaughtered by another so-called “smart bomb”.
"Our security forces use cutting edge technology systems. No other system is able to intercept rockets with such precision. (...) We take precautionary measures whenever we are presented with a risk situation. This is why the numbers are in our favour. But when we retaliate, we do all that is in our power to avoid innocent victims. We never target civilians".
And yet these civilians are dying like flies. The “cutting edge technology system” the ambassador refers to is the Iron Dome missile defence shield, which has enabled the Israelis to intercept or divert more than 300 of the 640 rockets fired into their territory. It goes without saying that the Palestinians, who lack even anti-aircraft capabilities, cannot afford such a luxury. All of the 1350 attacks launched by Israeli aircraft in just 6 days were successfully carried out. This explains why Palestinian casulaties have already exceeded one hundred (111) in less than a week since the conflict began.
"Why attack Gaza now?" asks the journalist. The ambassador denies that the attacks are part of a right-wing political campaign in the run up to the elections in January:
“An attack was made on an Israeli jeep that was patrolling the border. Israel responded by striking strictly military targets and the result was a series of rocket and missile attacks from the Palestinians.”
But the ambassador forgets to inform Italian readers of what had occurred previously. On the morning of the 8th of November - before a commando of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas) fired a rocket at the IDF jeep while it was on patrol, injuring 3 soldiers – an Israeli troop had opened fire on a group of “suspicious individuals” in Khan Younis, killing Hamid Abu Daqqa, a 12-year-old boy who was playing football in the back yard.
So, where did the reprisals begin? Who fired first and who fired back? In Palestine, these questions receive very different answers depending on whom you ask and who is prepared to answer.
Stay human.

Source text - Spanish En cuanto a los cuestionarios de opinión recogidos de sus padres y su profesora, ADHD-RS, EDAH y BASC, se identifican criterios diagnósticos propios de un trastorno por déficit de atención sin hiperactividad (TDA-H). Tan solo en uno de los cuestionarios, y de forma menos significativas que el resto de las variables analizadas, se identifica hiperactividad. Por ello, este rasgo, además de no valorarse mediante la observación conductual que se hace del niño en consulta, tienen más relación con variables emocionales que con la existencia de un trastorno hiperquinético o de impulsividad. Cuando Dámaso no dispone de estrategias suficientes, desarrolla conductas impulsivas que le llevan a intentar evitar la resolución de las mismas, mediante respuestas de evitación pasiva.
Translation - English The questionnaires collected from his parents and teacher, ADHD-RS, EDAH, and BASC present diagnostic criteria corresponding to an Attention Deficit Disorder without Hyperactivity (ADD/WO). Hyperactivity is only identified in one of the questionnaires, and in a lesser degree than the other variables analysed. Moreover, evidence of hyperactivity was not observed in the behaviour observation conducted with the child during the consultation. For these reasons, it appears that his hyperactivity is related to emotional variables, rather than the product of a hyperkinetic disorder or impulsivity. When Damaso cannot find an adequate strategy to resolve a problem, he develops impulsive behaviours that aim to avoid any attempt at resolution, through a response of passive avoidance.

Source text - Spanish Bilbao, un aeropuerto que crece en servicios y destinos
El Aeropuerto de Bilbao, ya consolidado como el principal emisor y receptor de viajeros por vía aérea en el Arco Atlántico, ha culminado en 2011 una de sus mejoras más relevantes desde que se construyera la nueva terminal en Loiu, inaugurada a principios de siglo.
La novedad está en la sala de Llegadas, ahora totalmente cubierta y climatizada y que ofrece un nivel de confort total, permitiendo a los pasajeros y acompañantes permanecer en el aeropuerto sin preocuparse por las inclemencias meteorológicas.
En estos momentos de auge del turismo en Bizkaia y en todo el País Vasco es decisiva la primera impresión de cada viajero. Por ello, en el aeropuerto nos esforzamos por que su experiencia sea desde el primer momento lo más agradable posible y con unos servicios de alto nivel en todos los ámbitos.
En cuanto a los destinos ofrecidos desde Bilbao, se han consolidado las rutas a Amsterdam, Roma y Milán estrenadas en 2010, mientras que la temporada de verano de 2011 ha traído novedades también en enlaces europeos, los más dinámicos en los últimos meses.
Así, la ciudad británica de Manchester y Luxemburgo cuentan desde este año con vuelos directos al Aeropuerto de Bilbao. Dos puntos más del mapa europeo que vienen a seguir completando los destinos a las principales capitales europeas, que por su importancia económica, industrial o cultural están ya unidas a Bilbao y su área de influencia a través del transporte aéreo.
Con estas premisas encaramos el futuro en el Aeropuerto de Bilbao, seguros de que ofreciendo la calidad de servicio actual y demostrando día a día la eficiencia de nuestro trabajo a pasajeros y compañías, seguiremos ocupando un lugar principal en el tejido económico y productivo del País Vasco y sirviendo a las aspiraciones e intereses de sus ciudadanos.
Translation - English Bilbao, an airport expanding its services and destinations
Bilbao airport, already confirmed as the principal source and destination of air travellers in the Atlantic Arc, has completed in 2011 one of its most significant improvements since the inauguration of the new terminal in Loiu at the beginning of the century.
This latest improvement is the arrivals hall, which is now entirely covered and heated, offering an excellent level of comfort. Passengers and their companions may now remain in the airport without worrying about the weather.
Given the recent surge in tourism to Bizkaia and to the Basque country in general, the traveller’s first impressions do count. For this reason we ensure that your experiences are as pleasant as possible from the moment you arrive, with a wide variety of quality services available.
Regarding the destinations offered from Bilbao, the routes to Amsterdam, Rome and Milan which began in 2010 have been consolidated, while the summer of 2011 has brought new European destinations, the most dynamic in recent months.
As from this year Luxembourg and the British city of Manchester receive direct flights from Bilbao. This adds two European cities to a list of destinations that already includes the major capitals of Europe; places that have already been linked by air transport to Bilbao and its surrounding area due to their economic, industrial or cultural importance.
It is on this basis that we are ensuring the future of Bilbao airport. We are confident that by continuing to offer quality services and by demonstrating the efficiency of our work on a daily basis to both passengers and companies alike, we will continue to occupy a prominent place in the economic and productive fabric of the Basque country, and to serve the interests and aspirations of its citizens.
