Deleuze and Zhuangzi
Authors: OTT Margus
Published: February 2019

Deleuze has presented one of the richest ontologies in 20th century philosophy, and its conceptual machinery could be more fully used also in Sinology. This article focuses on two of his concepts: actualization and counter-actualization. Actualization proceeds from the virtual and through the intensive processes of individuation moves towards actual structures. Counter-actualization proceeds in the opposite direction, and starting from the actual, through creative involution discovers intensities and the virtual. It has the aspects of making a body without organs, creating intensities, and diversifying them. Actualization by differentiation is a common understanding of genetic processes in the Chinese tradition in general, and in the Zhuangzi in particular. In this article, Deleuze’s concepts are used to (re)interpret the account of differentiation in the story of the death of Zhuangzi’s wife, and the strange story from the chapter “Ultimate Joy” where “horses engender men.” Counter-actualization by discarding, dismantling, forgetting, thawing of forms and reaching towards the intensive and the virtual, a merging with the Dao, is a recurrent theme in the Chinese Daoism, and it is shown on the example of Yan Hui’s “sitting and forgetting,” master swimmer of Lü, and the thought of death, how they project beyond the actualized rigid and metric forms toward a more intensive, plastic, and joyful existence.

Breve história das classificações em psiquiatria
Authors: Martinhago Fernanda , Caponi Sandra
Published: February 2019

Na sociedade contemporânea há um grande número de pessoas diagnosticadas com transtornos mentais em diversos continentes. Fenômeno que é considerado por como uma epidemia de transtornos mentais. Diante deste contexto, busca-se delinear a trajetória histórica das classificações em psiquiatria, desde o século XIX até a atualidade. A primeira tentativa  de classificações de patologias psiquiátricas foi em 1840 a partir da medição da frequência de duas categorias. A última classificação que antecede o primeiro Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM) surge em 1918, com 22 categorias. No ano de 1952 é publicada a primeira edição do DSM, posteriormente, o Manual foi reformulado até a quinta edição, lançada em 2013. As classificações em psiquiatria foram criadas com a finalidade de obter dados estatísticos sobre a população e buscar uma linguagem universal sobre as patologias mentais. Na prática clínica há muitas controvérsias em relação as classificações em psiquiatria, pois esta rompe com as teorias de cunho crítico filosófico que constituíam as características das patologias mentais. A história nos mostra que houve uma fissura no modo de entender o sofrimento psíquico, e ali esvaíram-se a subjetividade e a história de vida dos sujeitos.

Aspects of hybridism in Joseph Conrad's Almayer's Folly and Heart of Darkness Aspectos de hibridismo em Almayer´s Folly e Heart of Darkness de Joseph Conrad
Authors: Oliveira Solange Ribeiro de
Published: February 2019

In the light of concepts put forth by Cultural Criticism the essay discusses  Joseph Conrad´s novels Almayer´s Folly and Heart of Darkness as stagings of the conflicts inherent in the syncretic nature of all culture.  In the first novel,  Nina, the offspring of an interracial marriage, is analyzed   as a projection of the problems of  hybridism. The theme recurs in Heart of Darkness, in the figure of the “harlequin”, whose mixed ancestry  makes  him the butt of  continuous abuse. A fictional anticipation of Michel Serres´ allegorical harlequin , the half-caste proves close to three Conradian characters:  Nina, in Almayer´s Folly, and, in Heart of Darkness,  Kurtz and Marlow, the  narrator. Conrad´s two novels thus  nod to each other as mutually illuminating references, fictional premonitions of the key postcolonial category of hybridity.
A imagem da bruxa: da antiguidade histórica às representações fílmicas contemporâneas
Authors: Kutelak Dias Bruno Vinicius , Urias Cabreira Regina Helena
Published: February 2019

This article aims at discussing the historical-social development of the witch’s image according to cultural, social and religious perspectives since the earlier stages of our Western civilization until the contemporary era. This historic overview will be discussed according to mythological influences referring to the construction of the female image as transgressor which originated the acclaimed Middle Age “witch hunt”. In order to do so, we will use works by Civita, (1997), Blécourt (2017), Clark (2006), Maxwell-Stuart (2017), Page (2017), Sharpe (2017) and Wallis (2017) apart from contemporary film versions from The Wizard of Oz (1939) through The Witch (2015), which depict the witch’s image transformation, so we can analyze, through its iconography, how such image was and is determined by the demands of several historical eras.
Subvertendo o ideal da feminilidade: a Sarah e a agência feminina de Mary Lavin
Authors: Dall'Bello Eloísa , Kopschitz Xavier Bastos Beatriz
Published: February 2019

Women’s living conditions in the Republic of Ireland, in the 1940s, were strongly conditioned by the Catholic beliefs, since the Church still held great influence at institutional levels and maintained close relations to leading politicians. The 1937 Constitution was the clearest proof of such relation, and tried to confine women’s role merely to the functions of wife and mother. The short story Sarah, written by Mary Lavin (1943), discloses the patriarchal standards and stifling social mores imposed on women at the time. Sarah, of the title, lives the struggle of being an unmarried mother in a conservative and merciless society. In this paper, I argue that, in spite of being inserted in such constrictive environment, Sarah denotes a position of agency, to the extent that she does not conform with such pre-established moral and socially acceptable behaviors.
“So Were I Equalled in Renown:” Autobiographical Elements and the Epic Poet's Career in Milton
Authors: Viana Maria Rita Drumond , Martins Andrey Felipe
Published: February 2019

John Milton is outlier among poets of the seventeenth century in his extensive recourse to details of his personal life, which are made integral part, covertly or explicitly, of his many works. From the early “Nativity Ode” onwards we can identify confessional passages in many of his poems that can be read autobiographically. What draws our attention to Milton’s case is that it also prefigures a major cultural and political revolution, in which the legitimacy of the individual consciousness was revalued. The main aim of this article is to explore specific moments in Milton’s oeuvre in which the autobiographical vein comes into sharp focus. Differently from his more mature work, in which he does not waver in confidence, in the earlier writings we can spot the doubts and anxieties of an apprentice poet of unbounded aspiration.
De uitgebreide controleverklaring – een uniform maatkostuum
Authors: de Waard Dick , Boven Frank , Bolk Maarten
Published: February 2019

Met de invoering van de uitgebreide controleverklaring werd onder meer beoogd dat meer ondernemingsspecifieke informatie daarin zou worden opgenomen, teneinde het inzicht van de gebruiker van de jaarrekening te vergroten. Van de controleverklaringen die in de periode 2013 tot en met 2016 zijn afgegeven bij de jaarrekeningen van de 75 fondsen die zijn genoteerd aan de AEX, AMX en AScX en van de top 250-fondsen die zijn genoteerd aan de London Stock Exchange is de variatie in omvang en aantallen key audit matters in kaart gebracht en daarvan is vastgesteld dat de onderlinge variatie in de loop van de tijd afneemt. De oorzaak daarvan wordt gezocht in kopieergedrag (institutioneel isomorfisme). Specifieke situaties, zoals resultaatsturing, accountantsroulatie, financial distress en het aantal keren dat de audit commissie vergadert, hebben daarbij een positieve invloed op het aantal key audit matters.

Published: February 2019

Abstract. An improved column averaged concentration (X) of greenhouse gases (GHGs) namely CO2, CH4, CO and N2O are retrieved using ground-based Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR; model IFS125M) Spectrometer data collected at Atmospheric Science Lab (ASL) of National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Shadnagar, India during 2016 period in clear sky days. Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector and Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) beam splitter in combination with the spectral range between 1800 cm−1 to 11000 cm−1 (5.50 μm to 0.90 μm) with 0.01 cm−1 spectral resolution (∆ν) are set for the present study. Atmospheric transmittance for each gas was computed using PcModWin6 (MODTRAN v6) and compared against measured spectrum. In this study, spectra are analyzed using non-linear least squares spectral fitting algorithm (GFIT) developed by the California Institute of Technology, U. S. A. The Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) identified standard spectral windows were selected for retrieving the GHGs over the study site. With the present retrieval scheme, precision of the FTIR achieved are 0.17 % to 0.52 % for CO2, 0.30 % to 0.77 % for CH4, 6.33 % to 8.92 % for CO and 0.41 % to 0.75 % for N2O, respectively. Observed little to clear diurnal and seasonal variations in XCO2, XCH4, XCO and XN2O respectively. In this work, we compared FTIR retrieved GHGs against Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) retrieved XCO2 and Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) retrieved XCO. With the present retrievals, comparative study yields a mean relative bias between ground-based FTIR retrieved XCO2 and XCO are −1.50 % and 0.60 % against OCO-2 (XCO2) and MOPITT (XCO) respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between FTIR retrieval and satellite retrievals are 0.80 (XCO2, N=14 co-located) and 0.85 (XCO, N=18), respectively.
Increased nitrogen enrichment and shifted patterns in the world's grassland: 1860–2016

Published: February 2019

Abstract. Production and application to soils of manure excreta from
livestock farming significantly perturb the global nutrient balance and
result in significant greenhouse gas emissions that warm the earth's climate.
Despite much attention paid to synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer and manure N
applications to croplands, spatially explicit, continuous time-series
datasets of manure and fertilizer N inputs on pastures and rangelands are
lacking. We developed three global gridded datasets at a resolution of
0.5∘ × 0.5∘ for the period 1860–2016 (i.e., annual
manure N deposition (by grazing animals) rate, synthetic N fertilizer and N
manure application rates), by combining annual and 5 arcmin spatial data on
pastures and rangelands with country-level statistics on livestock manure,
mineral and chemical fertilizers, and land use information for cropland and
permanent meadows and pastures. Based on the new data products, we estimated
that total N inputs, the sum of manure N deposition, manure N application and fertilizer N
application to pastures and rangelands, increased globally from 15 to
101 Tg N yr−1 during 1860–2016. In particular during the period
2000–2016, livestock manure N deposition accounted for 83 % of the total
N inputs, whereas manure and fertilizer N application accounted 9 % and
8 %, respectively. At the regional scale, hotspots of manure N deposition
remained largely similar during the period 1860–2016 (i.e., southern Asia,
Africa and South America); however, hotspots of manure and fertilizer N
application shifted from Europe to southern Asia in the early 21st century.
The new three global datasets contribute to the filling of the previous data gaps of global
and regional N inputs in pastures and rangelands, improving the abilities of
ecosystem and earth system models to investigate the global impacts of N
enrichment due to agriculture, in terms of associated greenhouse gas
emissions and environmental sustainability issues. Datasets are available at

A COMPARATIVE STUDY AMONG THREE REGISTRATION ALGORITHMS: PERFORMANCE, QUALITY ASSURANCE AND ACCURACY
Authors: Wujanz D. , Barazzetti L. , Previtali M. , Scaioni M.
Published: February 2019

Abstract. A critical task in every terrestrial laser scanning project is the transformation (addressed to as registration or alignment) of multiple point clouds into a common reference system. Even though this operation appears to be a solved and well-understood problem, the vast majority of available techniques still lack meaningful quality measures that allow the user to understand and analyze the final outputs. The erroneous estimation of registration parameters may cause systematic biases that falsify those subsequently outcomes such as deformation measurements on historical buildings, CAD-drawings of individual elements, or 3D models devoted to analyze the verticality of a tower. Thus, this article compares three common registration algorithms, namely target-based registration, the Iterative-Closest Point algorithm (ICP) as well as a plane-based approach on examples related to different case studies concerning historical buildings.

Published: February 2019

Abstract. This paper discusses the use of the lightweight multispectral camera to acquire three-dimensional data for rock art documentation application. The camera consists of five discrete bands, used for taking the motifs of the rock art paintings on a big structure of a cave based on the close-range photogrammetry technique. The captured images then processed using commercial structure-from-motion photogrammetry software, which automatically extracts the tie point. The extracted tie points were then used as input to generate a dense point cloud based on the multi-view stereo (MVS) and produced the multispectral 3D model, and orthophotos in a different wavelength. For comparison, the paintings and the wall surface also observed by using terrestrial laser scanner which capable of recording thousands of points in a short period of time with high accuracy. The cloud-to-cloud comparison between multispectral and TLS 3D point cloud show a sub-cm discrepancy, considering the used of the natural features as control target during 3D construction. Nevertheless, the processing also provides photorealistic orthophoto, indicates the advantages of the multispectral camera in generating dense 3D point cloud as TLS, photorealistic 3D model as RGB optic camera, and also with the multiwavelength output.
Should a conditional marker arise … The diachronic development of conditional sollte in German
Authors: Breitbarth Anne
Published: February 2019

Like other Germanic languages, German has a modal verb that, when used in the protasis of a conditional, does not have one of the modal meanings it has in other contexts, but only seems to underline the conditional meaning. The current paper looks at the diachronic development of conditional sollen, and shows how the past (subjunctive) form sollte, particularly in V1-protases, is in the process of developing into a pure conditional marker. Following Breitbarth (2015) and Breitbarth et al. (2016), this development is analysed in a framework combining Roberts & Roussou’s (2003) Minimalist approach to grammaticalization with a cartographic analysis of modality and conditionals based on Cinque (1999) and Haegeman (2010b).

O equilíbrio postural das crianças foi avaliado através da Posturografia Dinâmica Computadorizada (PDC), com os testes de organização sensorial (TOS), divididos em seis condições, que avaliam a integração dos sistemas neurais visual, vestibular e somatossensorial. Resultados: Os judocas apresentaram a condição I do TOS superior ao dos não praticantes (p=0,04), condição esta que avalia os três sistemas neurais responsáveis pela manutenção do equilíbrio. Conclusão: Meninos praticantes de judô apresentaram melhor interação entre os sistemas visual, vestibular e proprioceptivo e, consequentemente, melhor equilíbrio postural, quando comparados aos não praticantes.
„Cicha reakcja” na zdalne ataki teleinformatyczne
Authors: Patkowski Adam
Published: February 2019

„Cicha reakcja” systemu zabezpieczeń zasobów teleinformatycznych to zastąpienie blokowania cyberataków innymi działaniami, niedostrzegalnymi dla napastnika. Proponuje się usunięcie atakowanych zasobów przez zastąpienie ich spreparowanymi danymi. Pozwoli to na rozpoznawanie poczynań napastnika przy znacznie mniejszych szansach wykrycia niż użycie oddzielnych honeypotów. Przede wszystkim jednak umożliwia to prowadzenie dezinformacji przeciwników/konkurentów właściciela systemu na poziomie operacyjnym. Ponadto wprowadzenie mechanizmu opóźnionego zapisu danych w systemie teleinformatycznym zwiększa graniczny czas na wykrycie cyberataków zanim nastąpią nieodwracalne zmiany zasobów informacyjnych. A “hidden response” of an ICT security system is a substitution of cyberattack blocking by other actions invisible to an attacker. It is proposed to remove attacked resources from the attacker's operating field by replacing them with dissected data. This allows to investigate attacker's actions with much less chance of detection than by using separated honeypots. First of all, it gives the ability to perform disinformation activities against opponents/competitors of the system owner. In addition, the introduction of the delayed data recording mechanism increases the time limit for detecting cyberattacks before irreversible changes to information resources occur.

The article analyzed the experience of forming the personnel of the public administration
system in France, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Latvia. The author defined the procedures
for selection and formation of a management elite in these countries. The article noted that the
main stages of selection and formation of managerial personnel is the passage of the system of
examinations on language proficiency and knowledge of legislation. The author stated that in
France, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Latvia there is no legislative regulation of the meritocratic
principle as a principle of selection of talented specialists. In addition, the personal
qualities of the managerial elite remain to be neglected. Separately, the question of creating a
reserve of talented youth is needed, which will allow permanent rotation of staff in the system
of public administration, and also create conditions for the development of personnel, depending
on their talents and abilities. The author proposes ways to improve the system of examinations
and procedures for recruiting.

Published: February 2019

A well-known forensic material used in forensic technique is carbon monoxide on environment.
In literature an important element that makes it difficult to assess the circumstances of
fatal poisoning is the individual way of reacting the body to the action of carbon monoxide.
Often staying in the same conditions cause that some people are poisoned while others alive.
''Introduction to forensics - application of natural sciences '' is a scientific presentation in order
to disseminate preventive methods. The policy on environment is undoubtedly a theme to these
important research methods. In order to analyze in the written work that toxic gas in strictly
defined cases are the base of evidence. Empirical studies on the example of environmental
protection included: quantitative analysis based on the Legalis Legal Information System,
directions, noticeable tendencies in described scope, results of empirical research. Toxic gases
on environment are used in the evaluation of the material for palynological analyze. The study
took into account the analysis of the most suitable places on the body or clothing for taking
palynological samples. The analysis covered whether the forensic traces of carbon dioxide
recorded on the surface of the body or clothing, reflect the composition of vegetation occurring
in the area of research and whether they can be used to mark the time of the event. The obtained
results indicate that traces of carbon dioxide may be useful in determining the time of
the event in practice in forensic science.
CASE STUDY: REAL ESTATE TAXATION OF THE WIND FARM (WIND POWER STATIONS)
Authors: Wołowiec Tomasz
Published: February 2019

A wind farm (power station) is a building within the meaning of art. 3 point 3 of the construction
law, and therefore a construction object that is not a building or a small architecture,
consisting at least of a foundation, “tower” and technical elements. The analysis of the justification
of the draft law on wind farm investments indicates that the legislator's main objective
was to strengthen construction supervision over wind farms, but the introduction of this law
also had tax consequences, which are the effect of changing the definition of a building construction
law. The above means that from January 1, 2017. there has been a change in the
taxation of wind farm property tax, meaning the return to taxation of a wind farm as a building
(understood as a whole subject of taxation).
CASING OF UNDERGROUND MINING AND REAL ESTATE TAX
Authors: Wołowiec Tomasz
Published: February 2019

To determine whether mining excavations are subject to real estate tax, it is necessary to determine
their legal and tax status. The definition of "mining excavation" is specified in the
Geological and Mining Act of 9 June 2011, with regard to the fact that this Act plays a fundamental
role in regulating issues related to mineral extraction, it is not in dispute that the definition
under consideration should be considered binding also on the basis of other normative
acts, including the Construction Law. The purpose of the article is to analyze the taxation of
underground mine workings with a real estate tax. Such a goal is based on the fact that statutory
regulations are far from clear and precise. Irrespective of objectively existing difficulties,
it seems possible to eliminate doubts regarding taxation of underground mining excavations
and facilities and equipment located therein (including mining excavation housing) which
requires proper use of the rules of interpretation adopted in Polish legal culture, in particular
system rules in the vertical aspect, manifested by the so-called the technique of interpreting
acts in accordance with the Constitution and functional rules.

LABOUR LAW AND BALANCED BUDGETS: TWO DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW BETWEEN ITALY AND THE EUROPEAN UNION?
Authors: Bianco Giovanni
Published: February 2019

The European legislation on labour policies is emblematically represented by the system managed
by the European Central Bank (ECB) in which price stability first comes, then all the rest.
Unlike other similar institutions, the ECB is the only central bank whose sole objective is to
maintain price stability, or better win the fight against inflation. Unlike the ECB, the US Federal
Reserve has the so-called dual mandates, which is a dual objective of intervention: price
stability and employment. In this sense, the Fed is required to effectively promote the objectives
of maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates, protecting
in an equal way both the needs of the market economy and the rights of workers.In the European
Union, in general, the objective of price stability is in fact superordinate to all the others,
even those that Art. 3 of the Treaty of the European Union seemed to be on the same level.
The fight against unemployment therefore becomes secondary even if, for example, in the
Italian constitution the right to work since 1948 is considered a fundamental right.The decisive
point is that the prevailing value is attributed to monetary stability with the consequent weakening
of policies - potentially inflationary - such as the active ones of labour and more generally
of stimulus of the economy.The new EU policies on financial issues are therefore destined to have a strong impact on the regulation of workers' rights in individual states. And above all
in Italy where the principle of a balanced budget in 2012 even became a constitutional provision.
NORMATIVE AND MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ENTERING EURO CURRENCY IN POLAND

Published: February 2019

The discussion on various aspects of Poland's adoption of the single European currency has
been going on for a long time. Economists present various, fundamentally different views on
the subject. Hence the need for in-depth analysis and development of the best solutions for
Poland. Most economists agree that adopting the Euro currency in Poland will be another
particularly important development stimulus for the Polish economy. On the other hand, wages
paid in Euro and prices of products and services expressed in Euro may generate a rise in
prices and inflation in the initial period of introducing the Euro currency in Poland. There is a
widespread opinion that Poland will be fully prepared to adopt the euro currency when the
level of these incomes in Poland reaches the average level in the European Union. In addition to the incomes of citizens, the productivity, innovation, productive, capital and financial potential
of the Polish economy are also important in this respect.

Microbial fuel cell is one alternative technology that can be used to simultaneously solve problems related with wastewater production and energy demand. This study investigates the influence of electrode distance on power density in microbial fuel cell using tapioca wastewater. Graphite sheet without metal catalyst was used for both electrodes, separated by Nafion membranes. Four variations of electrode distance were used. MFC with highest electrode distance give the highest equilibrium OCV (676 mV), while the MFC with shortest electrode distance give the highest power density (7.74 mW/m2). EIS measurement suggested that the charge transfer resistance is dominant in all MFC configuration. Wastewater COD removal were in the range of 35-46 %, which were in accordance with the power density for all MFC.

Published: February 2019

Room air distribution in operating rooms is critical to successful surgical treatment. The present study investigated the effects of the location of the air supply and exhaust grills on the air movement and air parameters inside an operating room. This paper presents an experimental and numerical analysis of air distribution in the operating room. The experimental work was conducted in an operating room in Merjan Teaching Hospital in the city of Babylon. Air was supplied from one square plenum box located in the middle of the ceiling, while air was exhausted through eight grills: large exhaust grills in the four upper corners and small exhaust grills in the four lower corners. In the theoretical work, a model of the operating room was developed and two cases were analyzed using the FLUEN 6.3.26 software program. The first case included all eight exhaust grills, while the second case included only the four lower exhaust grills. The ceiling system gave good ventilation for air distribution inside the operating room. There was no clear effect of the small exhaust grills located in the upper corners of the operating room. The height of the ceiling room is an effective factor in air distribution.

Published: February 2019

In this study, we employ Bacchi’s (2012) “What’s the Problem Represented to be” approach to guide our discourse analysis of federal Indigenous sport for development (SFD) policies in Canada and Australia.  Through a review of government policies and reports, we highlight the often-divergent policy directives set out by federal departments in these two countries.  Namely, inter-departmental partnerships in areas such as health, education, and justice fail to be adequately facilitated through SFD policies in Canada, while, conversely, Australia has strived towards greater federal partnership building.  Within the identified Canadian and Australian policies, both countries consistently produced sport as having the potential to contribute to Indigenous peoples’ social and economic development, thus highlighting the growing institutional support behind Indigenous SFD.  This policy analysis research provides a novel contribution to the overall growing body of literature investigating the politics of partnership building in SFD initiatives.
TV und AV Journalismus
Authors: Elter Andreas
Published: February 2019

Das alte TV verändert sich nachhaltig: Internet und Fernsehen verschmelzen, Entwicklungen wie Mediatheken und Second Screen stehen im Gegensatz zur klassischen „Glotze“. TV wird nicht nur anders distribuiert und rezipiert, sondern auch produziert. Das Lehrbuch berücksichtigt diese jüngsten Entwicklungen und verbindet dabei die Außenperspektive (der Forschung) und die Innensicht (der Macher). Der erste Band des Lehrbuchs widmet sich maßgeblich der Theorie; bleibt dabei aber immer auf die Praxis bezogen. Neben metadisziplinären Super- und Basistheorien werden wichtige Kommunikationsmodelle sowie zentrale Befunde der Journalistik und Fernsehforschung vorgestellt. Mit einem eigenen Universalmodell des digitalen AV-Journalismus wird die Theorie reflektiert und auf die Praxis angewandt.
Gesellschaftsrechtliche Maßgaben für eine Gruppenbesteuerung ohne Gewinnabführungsvertrag
Authors: Hörnle Jacob
Published: February 2019

In order to establish a fiscal unity for corporate tax (Organschaft) in Germany, group members must be party to a so-called profit transfer agreement according to the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). This agreement leads to interdependences between tax and corporate law, which are not only often criticized but have even caused efforts to replace the Organschaft by a modern group taxation system not requiring a profit transfer agreement.
The present work analyses which questions and conflicts would arise under German corporate law, should a group taxation system which functions without profit transfer agreements be implemented. The analysis considers different types of group taxation systems: one which attributes the tax income of group members to the parent group company, and a group contribution system. The emerging questions and conflicts under corporate law are systematically examined for limited liability companies (GmbH) and stock corporations (AG).

Published: February 2019

Background. As a result of improved diagnostic and reparative techniques, congenital heart diseases are becoming a significant problem for women of childbearing age. Nowadays, more pregnant women in the West are being diagnosed with an acquired heart disease because of the tendency to delay childbearing and increasing age-related risk of developing complications of hypertension, diabetes, obesity and other diseases. According to the Lithuanian Health Information Centre, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in pregnancy is decreasing in Lithuania, from 1.4% in 2014 to 1% in 2016 (1). Heart diseases can aggravate maternal adaptive capabilities and complications that pose a threat to mother and foetus can occur. Management of such conditions presents a serious therapeutic challenge to multidisciplinary team. The aim of this article is to discuss the course of pregnancy and peculiarities of maternal and foetal care in a woman with hemodynamically significant heart disease.
Materials and methods. We present a clinical case of a 30-year-old nuliparous woman who was diagnosed with mitral valve disease with critical stenosis, grade II/III mitral valve insufficiency, moderate-severe pulmonary hypertension, heart failure stage C, and NYHA functional class II.
Results and conclusions. Pregnancy in conjunction with heart disease is a complicated condition that requires multidisciplinary prenatal care (consisting of an obstetrician gynaecologist, cardiologist, anaesthesiologist). Low molecular weight heparins should be the first choice medication for antithrombotic prophylaxis. Since pregnancy can aggravate a heart disease, preconception counselling and evaluation of the heart function are recommended.

Published: February 2019

Background. The aim of this paper is to analyse trends of kidney cancer incidence and mortality in Lithuania during the period of 1993 to 2012 using joinpoint regression models with special attention to changes in the distribution of stages.
Materials and methods. The study was based on all cases of kidney cancer reported to the Lithuanian Cancer Registry between 1993 and 2012. Age group-specific rates and standardized rates were calculated for each sex, using the direct method (world standard population). The joinpoint regression model was used to provide the estimated annual percentage change and to detect points in time where significant changes in the trends occur.
Results. During the study period the age-standardized incidence rates increased from 16.89/100,000 in 1993 to 27.77/100,000 in 2012 in males, and from 7.95/100,000 to 13.44/100,000 in females. During this period, annual percentage changes in the age-standardized rates were 2.33% and 1.81% for males and females, respectively. The joinpoint analysis by stage of disease showed the highest increase in stage I kidney cancer, with statistically significant trend change in 2002 for males and in 2001 for females. During the study period, age-standardized mortality rates decreased from 10.42/100,000 in 1993 to 8.96/100,000 in 2012 in males, and from 4.54/100,000 to 3.9/100,000 in females.
Conclusions. The kidney cancer incidence rate in Lithuania rose during the period of 1993 to 2012. The detailed analysis by stage showed the most significant increase in organ-confined incidence of kidney cancer. A stable mortality trend for males and a decreasing mortality trend for females along with increased incidence of early stage kidney cancer indicate that both earlier detection and modern treatment modalities may contribute to the reduction of mortality.

Background. Usually adjuvant chemotherapy is started within 12 weeks of surgery, but the evidence on the commencing time is lacking. Our aim was to investigate the association of initiating post-surgery treatment within six weeks vs. six to ten weeks vs. more than ten weeks with survival.
Methods. We analysed the association of treatment and its timing with survival among patients who were diagnosed and underwent surgery for stage II or III colon cancer from 2012 to 2013 at the National Cancer Institute, Lithuania.
Results. Of the 86 patients, 78% were still alive on December 31, 2013. Patients who received chemotherapy within six weeks after surgery were more likely to survive. However, those who received chemotherapy 6–10 weeks after surgery had better survival (p – 0.014, hazard ratio 0.80, 95% CI 0.60–0.99) than those who began chemotherapy treatment more than ten weeks after surgery (p – 0.173 hazard ratio 0.55, 95% CI 0.12–0.99)
Conclusions. The results from this study show that optimal timing of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with resected colon cancer within six weeks and associated with better survival.

LA CONSULTA DE TAROT EN SANTIAGO DE CHILE: RASGOS SITUACIONALES Y DISCURSIVOS
Authors: Abarca cea Claudia
Published: February 2019

Este artículo constituye una propuesta de descripción de la consulta de tarot en Santiago de Chile, un tipo de discurso interaccional hasta ahora nada estudiado en el ámbito de la lingüística, a partir de los rasgos situacionales y discursivos que le son propios: el marco de interacción, los participantes, la relación que se establece entre el consultante y el lector de cartas, la planificación de la consulta, el dinamismo comunicativo, la finalidad transaccional argumentativo- persuasiva y la modalidad lingüística empleada.
El análisis, que sigue la propuesta de variación diafásica de Briz (2010), está basado en un corpus formado por interacciones entre tarotistas y consultantes, así como en datos obtenidos de clases presenciales de tarot, páginas electrónicas, etc. Cabe señalar la novedad de dicho corpus en el panorama de los estudios lingüísticos.
