Color Description in Language and Culture (based on Russian-Hungarian dictionaries)
Authors: Guskova Antonina P.
Published: September 2019

Introduction. Color description comparative analysis might be identified as an important research path of the contemporary language science. The article introduces the methods of Russian-Hungarian vocabulary color description including metaphorical semantics of the color. Due to the vastness of their use in intercultural communication, the relevance of the research is indisputable. It is also due to the interest of linguistics to the problem of the reflection of national culture in the semantics of color terms as a means of lexicographical fixation. The new areas in the work is the identification of the corpus of secondary color terms recorded in dictionaries, the selection of national-specific elements of color terms in the connotative aspects of semantics.
Materials and Methods. The material for comparing categories of colors was the color names with the secondary meaning of color from the Russian-Hungarian dictionaries that were not studied in the linguistics. Comparative analysis helped to find the number of the color items, to investigate the correlation and to re-build the system of color to compare the color description in Russian and Hungarian languages. The work has been compiled from Russian-Hungarian dictionaries by Khadrovich & Galdi, Russian-Hungarian dictionaryby Galdi & Uzoni, which contain authoritative lexis and graphical sources as well as grammatical and stylistic commentary on each article.
Results and Discussion. The research results in the common corpora of the color items found in Russian-Hungarian dictionaries (single-base words, complex-base words, collocations and idioms).
Conclusion. The definition of the color items of color-marking vocabulary in Russian-Hungarian dictionaries showed the primary effect of general language mechanisms, which reflects the adequacy of the lexical color designation systems of the Russian and Hungarian languages. The general properties of color terms in these languages ​​are manifested in their systemic organization, ability to develop polysemy, while national specificity is manifested in the features of color-marking vocabulary. In case of discrepancy or absence of color terms in one of the languages, the compilers of dictionaries resorted to various methods of compensating for the expression of color. The development of compensatory means in the absence of color names in the target language also constitutes the national specificity of the color designation system.
Traditional ethnocultural communities in Soviet cinema: «Hunting and reindeer breeding in the Komi region»
Authors: Golovnev Ivan A.
Published: September 2019

Introduction. Visually-anthropological experiments in Russia have more than a century of history, reflected, in particular, in the corpora of Soviet ethnographic films in the 1920s – 1930s. This article, based on textual and visual materials, introduces information about the ethno-film «Hunting and Reindeer Breeding in the Komi Region» (1927) as a multi-layered visual-anthropological document. The paper considers the specific features of film history on the evolution among Komi hunters and reindeer herders during the period of cultural and economic transformations in the USSR in the second half of the 1920s, created in the mentioned film, in the context of the Soviet film production.
Materials and Methods. Due to the specifics of silent cinema, the final film «Hunting and Reindeer Breeding in the Komi Region» is a kind of cinema-text consisting of approximately the same number of film frames and text captions interspersed in the narration. That is why the method of analyzing the film as a visual-text work was its research transcript – presentation in the form of a film text.
Results and Discussion. Based on the archival data and published works of contemporaries, the authors traced the evolution of the film project in connection with parallel processes in the state national-cultural policy and in ethnographic science.
Conclusion. Considering the film in the socio-historical context, the authors conclude the phenomenon of ethnographic film as an effective form of research knowledge, which allows fixing the cultures of what is being filmed and shooting, and broadcast in time not only actual events, but also their so important for anthropological study emotional context; as well as the potential of cinema as an informative historical source.
Concepts and rituals of Orthodox originas and their dynamics in funeral and memorial rites of the Ludians
Authors: Minvaleev Sergey A.
Published: September 2019

Introduction. The article reveals funeral and memorial rituals of the Ludian Karelians at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries, which have Christian origins and exposes their further transformations.
Materials and Methods. This research is based on an integrated approach to the humanities. The most valuable group of sources for the research is unpublished expeditionary materials, stored in the archives of the Republic of Karelia and Finland.
Results and Discussion. The funeral and memorial tradition depends on Orthodox funeral complex of rites. Almost every aspect of the funeral, which has Orthodox semantics, find its own interpretation in mind of the Karelians, such as candles at a casket necessary to light a way for a deceased in the next world; the sacrament of penance obligatory for the living not to carry any sins of the dead; the requiem mass to grant peace to the departed soul and etc. A priest participated in all steps of funeral ceremony: from a confession to common wakes. In the Soviet era a priest’s role in burial practices of Karelian countryside begun to subside by elderly women who could read in Church Slavonic. Ludian burial practices contain some echoes of burial orgies (also known as “funny funerals”) and ancestor worship.
Conclusion. Despite of atheistic propaganda and intense fighting of the Soviet State against religion, Christian funeral ceremonies continued to be observed by Ludian Karelians and preserved the features of the Pagan-Christian syncretism.
Ethnic structure of the population of the Southern Obonezhye at the end of the XV century
Authors: Chibisov Boris I.
Published: September 2019

Introduction. On the southern coast of Lake Onega there is a significant layer of Baltic-Finnish geographical names. The medieval ethnic history of this region remains poorly understood. This is due to the fact that the Novgorod scribal books date back to the end of the XV century, the toponymic and anthroponymic material of which remains not quite sought after by historians. The study of this material makes it possible to shed light on the ethnic history of the southern Obonezhye.
Materials and Methods. The main source of research was the scribal book of Obonezhskaya pyatina of 7004 (1495/96). The descriptive method of research consists in identifying and fixing Baltic-Finnish oikonyms (names of rural settlements) and anthroponyms mentioned in the scribal book. It revealed Baltic-Finnish anthroponyms by analyzing the formal indicators of adoption of anthroponyms.
Results and Discussion. According to the toponymy and anthroponymy of the scribal book, the population of the southern Obonezhye was mixed: it consisted of Slavs, Karelians and Vepsians. Karelians were present on the Olonets isthmus and in the south-western Prionezhye. This is largely explained due to the migration flow of Karelians from the north-western Ladoga area. The Vepsians lived in vast areas of the south-eastern and south-western Prionezhye, the Svir River basin and Oshta. Ethnographic studies have shown that many Vepsian settlements survived from the end of the XV to the middle of the XX – the beginning of the XXI century.
Conclusion. The scribal book in the surviving fragments and Novgorodian acts indicate that by the end of the XV century the southern coast of Lake Onegа was inhabited by various ethnic groups: Slavs, Karelians and Vepsians, as evidenced by the anthroponyms and toponyms of the southern part of Obonezhye.

In order to ensure that the health care system fulfills the statutory responsibility for crime protection, the legislature has added a control function to the prosecuting authority. Case law shows that the courts place emphasis on this control function in assessing whether court-ordered compulsory psychiatric care is necessary to protect society. This article highlights the prosecution’s legal remedies and professional prerequisites for fulfilling the control function.
Statistical charts for determining sample size at various levels of accuracy and confidence in geotechnical site investigation
Authors: Guan Zheng , Wang Yu
Published: September 2019

Site investigation is indispensable in geotechnical practice, but only a small portion of the soil affected by the intended geotechnical construction is examined and/or tested in the laboratory or in situ, leading to significant uncertainties in site investigation results. The uncertainty in the site investigation results depends greatly on the number of specimens tested (i.e. sample size) during site investigation. In many other areas that involve sampling, such as polls, surveys and quality control, sample sizes are often determined using statistical charts, based on the target levels of accuracy and confidence. However, conventional statistical charts, which only deal with independent data, are seldom used in geotechnical site investigation, because geotechnical properties are usually spatially correlated. No statistical chart with consideration of spatial correlation is available for determining sample sizes in geotechnical site investigation. Existing geotechnical design codes around the world (e.g. Eurocode 7) only provide conceptual principles on sample size determination. This study develops statistical charts for determination of sample size at different levels of both accuracy and confidence for geotechnical site investigation. Real cone penetration test data and real laboratory test data are used to illustrate application of the proposed statistical charts, and the charts are shown to perform well.

A Study on the Negative Emotion and Emotional Exhaustion of The Five Star Hotel Restaurant Employees: Focusing on Attribution Interaction of Negative VOC
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Choi Young , Lee Chung-Hun
Published: September 2019

This study was conducted to investigate the interaction effects of negative VOC (voice of customer) attributes (locus, controllability, and stability) on employees’ perceived negative emotions (annoyance, anger, regret, and shame) and emotional exhaustion in the context of hotel restaurants. In particular, we classified negative emotions into four types – anger, annoyance, regret, and shame – and examined whether employees perceived different types of negative emotions as a result of the different combinations of VOC attributes. In addition, we based our theoretical underpinnings on attribution theory and affect theory and examined the relative effect each type of negative emotion had on the employees’ emotional exhaustion by surveying hotel restaurant employees who worked at five-star hotels in Seoul. The findings suggest that the VOC attributes interplay to trigger the different types of the employees’ negative emotions; each type of this negative emotion played a different role in affecting the employees’ emotional exhaustion. In contrast to the prior research focusing on customers’ perspectives about service failure, this research has its merit by focusing on the employees’ emotional responses to the customers’ written complaints and suggests a need for understanding the structural relationships between VOC attributes, the employees’ negative emotions and their exhaustion.

Published: September 2019

This study examined the organizational culture that enables workers to be satisfied and immersed in their organization, and how the organizational culture affects the psychological factors and behavior of employees. For the study, a survey was conducted from January 15 to January 31, 2018. As a result, it was found that a relationship between organizational culture, positive psychological capital, organizational commitment, and turnover intention of the luxury hotel appeared. These results confirm that organizational culture is an important factor in determining the psychological attitudes and behavior of staff. This study is meaningful in that it analyzed the psychological factors and attitudes toward the organization of internal customers who deal with external customers during service encounters, away from the characteristics of the service industry that focus on profit generation, through the satisfaction of external customers. This study is expected to provide useful data to identify the factors affecting the psychological wellbeing of hotel employees to have a positive effect in forming positive attitudes toward the organization.

Authors: YILMAZ ÇİLDAM Semra
Published: September 2019

İnsanlık tarihi kadar eski olan şiddet olgusu, zamana ve topluma göre değişebilmektedir. Birçok bilimin ortak çalışma alanı olan suç kavramı, insan–mekân ilişkisi açısından coğrafyanın çalışma alanlarından biri olmuştur. Şehirlerde daha fazla suç işlendiği için çalışma alanı olarak şehir yerleşmesi seçilmiştir. Bu çalışmada 2018 yılında Siirt şehrinde polis sorumluluk bölgesi içinde meydana gelen kişilere karşı işlenen suç türlerinin mekânsal dağılışı ve bu dağılışın nedenleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışmada Siirt İl Emniyet Müdürlüğü (Çocuk Şube Karakolu, Cumhuriyet Karakolu, Yenimahalle Karakolu), Siirt Belediye Başkanlığı ve TÜİK’ten alınan veriler kullanılmıştır. Siirt’te 2018 yılında toplam 1642 adet kişilere karşı suç işlenmiştir. Bu suçlar içinde ilk sırayı kasten yaralama (1079) suçu alırken, en az işlenen suç türü adam öldürme (13) suçudur. Elde edilen veriler kullanılarak Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS)  ile dağılış haritaları oluşturulmuş ve çeşitli grafik ve tablolar ile konu aydınlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. Ortaya çıkan sonuçlar zaman ve mekân kavramının suç üzerinde doğrudan etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Suçların mekânsal dağılışında mahalleler arasındaki sosyo-ekonomik farlılıklar ile arazi kullanım yapısı etkili olmuştur. Kişiye karşı işlenen suçların yaz aylarında daha fazla işlendiği görülmektedir. Şehrin suç tepeleri Bahçelievler, Yeni mahalle ve Barış mahalleleri iken; şehirde suçun en az işlendiği alanlar ise Halenze, Ülkü ve Karakol mahalleleridir.

Authors: Kazakova E. Yu. , Grin A. A.
Published: September 2019

The study objectiveis to identify the features of diagnosis of patients with spinal cord injuries, resulting from falls from a height.

Materials and methods.The data from 148 patients who were treated at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine in the period from 01.01.2011 to 04.01.2016 were analyzed. Of these, 98 patients (the studied group) were injured in the spinal column as a result of a fall from a height of more than 2 m, 50 people (the comparison group) suffered in traffic accidents. We used clinical data, laboratory and radiological diagnostic methods. The severity of injuries in spinal injury was assessed according to the Injury Severity Score. When assessing the neurological status in spinal patients, the ASIA (American Spine Injury Assosiation) scale was used.

Results.Significant differences in age (p = 0.57) and sex (p = 0.24) in the groups were not observed. More often at night: in the period from 00:00 to 6:00 in the morning – 44 (44.9 %) patients. There were significantly more patients with combined spinal injury in the studied group – 60 (61.2 %) than in the comparison group – 24 (48 %) (p <0.05). The assessment of the severity of the patients showed that the proportion of victims with severe neurological disorders (ASIA A) in the studied group was 30.6 % (30 victims), while in the comparison group the number of such patients was significantly lower – 3 (6.0 %) patients (p <0.05). The average score on the Injury Severity scale in the studied group was 25.7 ± 5.5, in the comparison group – 26.3 ± 6.1. There were no significant intergroup differences in this indicator.

Conclusion.Spinal cord injuries in catatrauma in 61.2 % of patients were accompanied by combined injuries of the internal organs and the musculoskeletal system. In 25.5 % of patients with catatrauma craniocerebral lesions were detected. On the ASIA scale, the proportion of victims with the most pronounced neurological disorders (ASIA A) was 30.6 %, and in the event of an accident – 6.0 %; to ASIA E – 36.8 % (in case of an accident – 64.0 %).
Deep brain stimulation. How it controls movements in Parkinson’s disease?
Authors: Zalyalova Z. A.
Published: September 2019

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves implantation of electrodes in the basal ganglia of the brain. Dysregulation of neuronal activity in these structures is the cause of motor disorders. DBS is used in many motor (Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, ticks, tardive dyskinesia and others), psychological, behavioral and affective (depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, epilepsy and others) disorders, as well as in severe pain syndromes resistant to drug therapy. However, the mechanisms of action of DBS are not fully understood. Currently, different theories and hypotheses are considered which explain its mechanism of treatment: rate model, “jamming” theory, hypotheses about the effect on neurogenesis, astrocyte activity, increased brain circulation, electrotaxis, etc.

Authors: ÖZBOLAT Gülüzar , YEGANİ Arash Alizadeh
Published: September 2019

urpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity effect, iron chelator and antioxidant activities of iron (III) ions with curcumin ligand that may be used in the treatment of iron overload. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic activities of the ligand and the complex were evaluated by the MTT assay. The SOD activity of the complex of curcumin was determined by using its ability to inhibit the reduction of NBT. The catalytic activity studies of Fe(III) complex in DMSO towards the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide were also performed.Results: The IC50 values are found in 6.8 μM catalase activity was measured. Where at a concentration of 2.0 mM, the activity was equivalent to 183.30 U/L. The complex shows a catalase activity. The complex showed minimal toxicity. IC50 values found 5.3 mg/ml. The observed cytotoxicity could be pursued to obtain a potential drug. The iron chelator effects were determined by Ferrozine reagent. Curcumin, the most active extract interfered with the formation of ferrous and ferrozine complex. It demonstrated strong chelating activities. The result showed that the complexes possess considerable SOD activity. This finding indicates that the iron complex is capable of removing free radicals.  Conclusion:  The study results revealed that the iron(III) complex of curcumin with an appropriate potential drug may act as a protector against oxidative stress. Therefore, all results suggest that curcumin may represent a new approach in the treatment of iron overload.

Quality of Life and Characterization of Patients With Atopic Dermatitis in Portugal: The QUADEP Study
Authors: Carvalho D , Aguiar P , Mendes-Bastos P , Palma-Carlos A , Freitas J , Ferrinho P
Published: September 2019

Objectives: To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of and to characterize patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) in Portugal. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of patients with AD and other eczemas. Skindex-29, Skindex-teen, and the Childhood Atopic Dermatitis Impact Scale (CADIS) were the instruments used to assess QOL in adults, teenagers, and children, respectively. The SF-12 was also used, and disease severity was evaluated using the Patient-Oriented SCORAD (PO-SCORAD) instrument. Associations with QOL were assessed based on the odds ratio (OR). P values <.05 and 95%CIs were considered statistically significant. Results: The study population comprised 162 participants aged 0.5-74 years. We found that 37.3% of AD patients consider their disease disabling and that more than half of the patients feel stigmatized by society. The mean Skindex score for AD was 39.68, and the impact on QOL was severe in 44%. “Symptoms” was the most affected category in adults. AD was moderate to severe in 87% of the sample. One of the factors that most influenced poorer QOL in AD was age: with increasing age, the Skindex is likely to increase (OR, 1.03; 95%CI, 1.00-1.06). “Considering the disease a disability” was also associated (OR, 6.72; 95%CI, 2.56-17.63). QOL worsens with increasingly affected body area (OR, 1.07; 95%CI, 1.03-1.11) and the presence of edema (OR, 2.0; 95%CI, 1.23-3.40). Conclusions: This is the first study to provide data on QOL in patients with AD in Portugal. Our data show an expected negative impact. More awareness-raising activities are needed to increase knowledge, decrease stigmatization, and, consequently, address the factors involved in the QOL of patients with AD.

Published: September 2019

Background: Few odor tests have been developed for children. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a simple and quick olfactory test to evaluate odor identification and threshold in a Spanish pediatric population. Methods: The Pediatric Barcelona Olfactory Test-6 (pBOT-6) consisted of a set of 6 odorants for a forced choice identification test and a 6-dilution phenyl ethyl alcohol geometric series for the threshold test. The pBOT-6 was compared with the Universal Sniff test (a validated international pediatric smell test) in 131 healthy Spanish volunteers aged 6-17 years. A Bland-Altman plot was used to determine the agreement between the 2 tests. Reliability was analyzed in 15 volunteers using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Normative data were obtained, and 8 children diagnosed with subjective loss of smell were tested for validation. Results: The Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated a minimal bias of –1.71% with upper and lower limits of agreement of –31.1% and 27.6%, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.83 (95%CI, 0.6-0.96) for the identification test and 0.73 (95%CI, 0.36-0.9) for the threshold test, with excellent and good consistency between measurements over time. Mean pBOT-6 scores were significantly higher in healthy volunteers than in patients with loss of smell. Discrimination between normosmia and loss of smell was achieved with a sensitivity of 96.9% and a specificity of 100%. Conclusions: pBOT-6 offers an effective and fast method that is useful in clinical routine to distinguish, with high sensitivity and specificity, between pediatric patients with normosmia and those with loss of smell.

Lógicas de (des)organização territorial – novas estratégias?
Authors: Teobaldo Izabela Naves Coelho , Rugani Jurema Marteleto , Gonçalves Luiza Oliveira
Published: September 2019

As cidades brasileiras contemporâneas crescem num ritmo desigual e desarticulado, colocando em risco o futuro de políticas e ações que podem depender da existência de territórios não comprometidos pelos processos de apropriação desordenada do solo, principalmente, no caso da habitação e dos equipamentos públicos. Pode-se dizer que um dos elementos catalisadores na expansão da cidade é a moradia. À falta de políticas efetivas, a solução para a moradia fazia-se através das ocupações espontâneas, sem qualquer planejamento ou controle do poder público. Atualmente, são executados grandes empreendimentos de conjuntos habitacionais, implantados em locais distantes da mancha urbana, sob o beneplácito dos órgãos municipais que deveriam zelar pela ocupação regular e sustentável do solo. Percebe-se uma alteração na lógica da organização territorial, em que o espaço agora ocupado é propositadamente localizado a grandes distâncias da mancha urbana, escolhido por empreendedores sem compromisso senão com o lucro, e sob a égide do poder público. Por outro lado, multiplicam-se as ocupações espontâneas de áreas e terrenos considerados impróprios ao uso, e por isso mesmo desvalorizados, porém próximos às centralidades urbanizadas, atrativos à localização de grupos sociais de baixa renda, em busca de moradia e trabalho. Sendo assim, pode-se questionar se realmente existem novas lógicas de organização ou se o que acontece é uma repetição de processos em que as estratégias de especulação são priorizadas na ocupação do espaço em detrimento da qualidade de vida dos habitantes e de seus direitos de acesso à cidade.

Authors: Viana Mariana Porto , De Souza Ana Aparecida Almeida , Nascimento Lays Vieira
Published: September 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo propor uma melhor gestão e reuso de águas residuárias em áreas externas de um condomínio horizontal da cidade de Campina Grande, bem como avaliar a estrutura das áreas externas dos condomínios através de mapeamento e entrevistas à administração e condôminos e propor estratégias que visam o reuso para cada problema encontrado na área de estudo. A metodologia utilizada situa-se nos fundamentos da pesquisa quanti-qualitativa que se baseia fortemente em atributos lineares, medições e análise; significa que seu raciocínio se baseia principalmente na percepção e na compreensão humana, através de questionários, entrevistas e análise in loco. A partir dos resultados duas propostas foram discutidas: o reaproveitamento das águas cinzas e a instalação das mini cisternas ou miniestação de água.
Academic Library Use is Positively Related to a Variety of Educational Outcomes
Authors: Scott Rachel E.
Published: September 2019

A Review of:
Soria, K. M., Fransen, J., & Nackerud, S. (2017). Beyond books: The extended academic benefits of library use for first-year college students. College & Research Libraries, 78(1), 8-22. https://doi.org/10.5860/crl.78.1.8
Abstract
Objectives – To consider the relationship between academic library use and four specific outcomes: academic engagement, engagement in scholarly activities, academic skills development, and grade point average.
Design – Hierarchical regression analysis.
Setting – A large, public research university in the Midwest US.
Subjects – 1,068 non-transfer, first-year students who voluntarily completed the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) survey.
Methods – The SERU survey results were analyzed alongside student data derived from institutional records and 10 library usage variables generated from library systems. Velicer’s minimum average partial (MAP) method was employed to develop a factor analysis. Hierarchical regression analyses measured the relationships between independent variables (demographic characteristics, collegiate experiences, and libraries use) and dependent variables (students’ academic engagement, academic skills, engagement in scholarship, and fall semester grade point average).
Main Results – Students’ use of academic libraries was reported to have a positive relationship with all four dependent variables, above and beyond those explained by pre-college and collegiate experiences: academic engagement (R2∆= .130, p < 0.001), academic skills development (R2∆= .025, p < 0.001), fall semester grade point average (R2∆= .018, p < 0.001), and engagement in scholarship (R2∆= .070, p < 0.001). Use of books and web-based library resources had the most positive relationships with academic outcomes; workshop attendance and use of reference services had limited positive relationships with academic outcomes; and use of library computer workstations had no significant effects on academic outcomes.
Conclusion – Undergraduate student use of the academic library is positively associated with diverse academic outcomes. Although the explanatory power of library use was relatively low, ranging from 1.8 to 13.0 percent of final variance in the dependent variables, library use is nonetheless reported to contribute significantly to academic outcomes.

Wsparcie seniora w formie opieki formalnej, pozaformalnej i nieformalnej na przykładzie rozwiązań w Anglii
Authors: Hołyst Justyna
Published: September 2019

Głównym celem artykułu jest prezentacja środowiskowej opieki społecznej dla osób starszych w Anglii w trzech aspektach: formalnym (sektor państwowy), pozaformalnym (sektor prywatny oraz organizacji pozarządowych) i nieformalnym (obszar opieki rodzinnej). Przedstawienie trzech form wsparcia dla seniorów w Anglii ma służyć zobrazowaniu współpracy różnorodnych podmiotów w obrębie prezentowanych obszarów, jako naczelnej zasady w konstruowaniu skutecznego pakietu usług opiekuńczych. Interdyscyplinarne podejście w świadczeniu opieki środowiskowej nad seniorem jest zgodne z polityką senioralną i stwarza możliwości dalszego funkcjonowania seniora w jego środowisku domowym. Nowe spojrzenie na konstruowanie i funkcjonowanie opieki społecznej względem seniorów zmierza w kierunku stworzenia zintegrowanego modelu opieki, który opiera się na idei współpracy wielu podmiotów oraz koordynacji ich działań przez sektor państwowy. W artykule podkreślone jest także znaczenie opiekuna nieformalnego, czyli rodzinnego, jako osoby, która w największym stopniu sprawuje opiekę nad najbliższym członkiem rodziny.
A Dynamic Approach to a Comparative Evaluation of Financial Performance of Sections and Sectors of the Polish Economy
Authors: Skoczylas Wanda , Batóg Barbara
Published: September 2019

Financial performance of companies and their groups is of major interest to all stakeholders. As a result, they assess categories such as profitability, financial liquidity, financial independence, and risk. Separate analyses carried out for each of those elements alone do not always deliver conclusive findings, which is where synthetic methods are helpful. A ranking based on the taxonomic measure of development is one of such methods. The aim of the paper is, firstly, to present opportunities for using a dynamic version of the taxonomic measure of development in a comparative and complex assessment of financial performance in PKD divisions (Polish Classification of Activity), and, secondly, to evaluate changes in this area in the years 2014–2016. The data used for developing the ranking were sourced from the joint publication of industry indicators by the Financial Analysis Commission at the Research Council of the Accountants Association in Poland and InfoCredit, and from the Statistics Poland.
O muzyczności Wirów Henryka Sienkiewicza
Authors: Samborska-Kukuć Dorota
Published: September 2019

Mimo że trudno mówić o rozległości kompetencji muzycznych Henryka Sienkiewicza, w jego pisarstwie widać szczególną fascynację harmonią dzieł wybitnych kompozytorów, przede wszystkim Beethovena i Schumanna. Tematyzacje muzyczne służące podkreśleniu zdolności transcendentnych, jakie uwalnia obcowanie z tą najsubtelniejszą ze sztuk, ujawniają się głównie w Bez dogmatu i Wirach. W tej ostatniej powieści muzyka staje się sygnaturą wyższej, lepszej sfery i kultury rozumianej przez pisarza jako bastion polskości i oazę piękna, jako wskaźnik estetyczny, ale też etyczny. Pojawiająca się w dziele figura św. Cecylii – patronki muzyki ma silny związek z kobiecością jako animacją piękna. W Wirach podejmuje Sienkiewicz także próbę transpozycji muzyki na obrazy, dokonując dość osobliwej formy ekfrazy – opisu poetycką prozą Beethovenowskiej sonaty zwanej Księżycową.
Beethoven Różewicza i Herberta
Authors: Adamowska Joanna
Published: September 2019

Tematem artykułu jest stosunek Tadeusza Różewicza i Zbigniewa Herberta do fenomenu muzyki Ludwiga van Beethovena. Autorka odnosi się kolejno do opowiadania Nowa szkoła filozoficzna (PR I), szkicu Malarstwo nocą 21.01.85 (PR III), utworu poetyckiego I pomyśleć (ZF, P III), artykułu Jeszcze o muzyce i pewnym interpretatorze (WG) oraz wierszy Beethoven (ROM) i Zwierciadło wędruje po gościńcu (R). Objaśnione zostają istota poetyckiej polemiki z piśmiennictwem beethovenowskim oraz próba kwestionowania przez Różewicza i Herberta mitu Ludwiga van Beethovena. Joanna Adamowska rekonstruuje znamienną ewolucję stosunku obydwu poetów do niemieckiego kompozytora i jego dzieł, a także zainspirowaną tragiczną biografią artysty refleksję poetów na temat rzeczywistego znaczenia arcydzieł oraz konsolacyjnych mocy sztuki.
Szkarłatna partytura Ralfa Isaua jako przykład recepcji twórczości Franza Liszta w literackiej kulturze popularnej
Authors: Gamrat Małgorzata
Published: September 2019

Artykuł stanowi studium powieści Ralfa Isaua Die Dunklen (2007; wyd. pol. Szkarłatna partytura, 2011). Analizie poddane zostało znaczenie obecności twórczości i postaci muzyka Franza Liszta w powieści. Isau zawarł w niej wykład z historii muzyki i estetyki muzycznej, a także biografię Franza Liszta oraz rozważania dotyczące wpływu muzyki na zachowanie człowieka (Platon, barokowa teoria afektów, retoryka muzyczna, muzyka programowa, audiomarketing). Zasadniczą część pracy stanowią rozważania dotyczące powiązań między powieściową narracją i kształtowaniem struktury powieści a elementami i technikami muzycznymi.
Między wizją a praktyką. Początki niemieckiej opery romantycznej w ujęciu E.T.A. Hoffmanna
Authors: Kornatowska Beata
Published: September 2019

Artykuł poświęcony jest stworzonej przez E.T.A. Hoffmanna teorii nowej opery niemieckiej oraz pierwszej próbie przełożenia jej na praktykę. Jego opowiadanie Poeta i kompozytor (1813), które ukazało się na łamach lipskiej „Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung”, to rozpisany na dwa głosy program opery romantycznej, która ma czerpać inspirację ze świata nadprzyrodzonego, a także dążyć do spójnej poetyckiej wizji. Część postulatów wyartykułowanych w analizowanym opowiadaniu oraz w korespondencji z tamtego czasu E.T.A. Hoffmann zrealizował w Ondynie (1816) do libretta Friedricha de la Motte Fouquégo na podstawie baśni literackiej pod tym samym tytułem, wytyczając tym samym kierunek dalszego rozwoju gatunku.

The effect of salesperson’s expertise and salesperson’s likeability through trust mediation (Case study of PT. Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. Brawijaya Malang)
Authors: Oktavia Riwidya Tri
Published: September 2019

This study focuses on the role of salesperson in increasing
repurchase intention through trust that formed between salesperson
and customers. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect
of salesperson's expertise and salesperson's likeability on trust and
repurchase intention. The sample of this study was BNI Brawijaya
Malang's customers who received special services from the
salesperson (personal banking assistant - PBA) and had a minimum
deposit of IDR 500,000,000, - The sample in this study was included
in the purposive sampling category and amounted to 140 people.
Data analysis through Partial Least Square (PLS) with version 3.0
smartPLS. The results of this study indicate that salesperson's
expertise has a significant effect on trust and repurchase intention,
salesperson's likeability has a significant effect on trust but is not
significant in repurchase intention. Trust acts as a partial mediation
on the influence of salesperson's expertise on repurchase intention,
but acts as a complete mediation on the influence of salesperson's
likeability on repurchase intention.
