A PLEA FOR RETHINKING INSTITUTIONAL LANGUAGE POLICY DOCUMENTS
Authors: PĂCURAR Elena
Published: June 2019

A Plea for Rethinking Institutional Language Policy Documents. The present study aims to raise awareness on and to provide a synopsis of the role, function and relevance of language policy documents in HE, by bringing together some of the more recent conclusions of strategic papers or guidelines issued by representative bodies responsible for the standardization of language teaching and testing. The current definitions of and views on language policies invite reflections on the margins of the internationalisation of HE, the digitalisation of education and its tools, the role of the language instructors in the 21st century and, last but not least, the existence of institutional strategic documents. A local case (the language policy at Babeș-Bolyai University) is discussed against the backdrop of international frameworks for language instruction and in comparison with similar (national) language policies.
Rezumat. O pledoarie pentru regândirea documentelor de politică lingvistică la nivel instituțional. Studiul de față își propune să atragă atenția asupra rolului, funcției și relevanței documentelor de politică lingvistică din învățămîntul superior prin scurta trecere în revistă a unor concluzii ce rezultă din câteva ghiduri sau cadre normative elaborate recent de către instituții a căror misiune asumată este standardizarea predării și învățării limbilor. Definițiile și perspectivele actuale asupra politicilor lingvistice discută și aspecte legate de internaționalizarea învățământului superior, digitalizarea educației și a instrumentelor aferente, rolul instructorilor de limbă în secolul al XXI-lea, precum și existența unor documente strategice la nivel instituțional.

Published: June 2019

Filling the Gap between Target Needs and Student Wants in English for Academic Environmental Purposes. The present paper sets out to bring forward some of the current issues in nowadays ESP teaching, such as, in what ways can ESP teachers produce and design a balanced approach to their syllabi in terms of content needed by their ESP students, but not necessarily wanted or liked by those. To be more precise, we are going to use a deductive method to find out what freshmen students from the faculties of Biology and Environmental Science and Engineering would want and like in their EAEP course and see if it matches or not with the teacher’s intended EAEP curriculum.
REZUMAT. Reducerea decalajului dintre nevoile de bază și preferințele studenților din programa de Engleză pentru Scopuri Academice Specifice în Știința Mediului. Lucrarea de față își propune să aducă în prim plan unele dintre cele mai stringente și actuale aspecte din predarea disciplinei Engleză pentru Scopuri Specifice, cum ar fi, sub ce formă pot profesorii de ESP să creeze o programă echilibrată în ceea ce privește conținutul necesar studenților de ESP, dar nu neaparat dorit sau plăcut de aceștia. Mai exact vom folosi o metodă deductivă pentru a afla ce își doresc în cadrul cursului de ESP studenții de anul I ai facultăților de Biologie și Știința și Ingineria Mediului, UBB și vom analiza dacă există corespondență între doleanțele acestora și curricula de limbă pentru scopuri specifice.

Published: June 2019

Among tick-borne diseases, Ehrlichia canis and Babesia piroplasm cause important diseases in dogs where the distributions of the pathogen, vector and host overlap. The primary aim of the present study was to detect the prevalence of Babesia spp. and E. canis using PCR and reverse line blot (RLB) hybridization assay in a total of 379 samples comprising stray and owned dogs and to compare the diagnostic sensitivity of the two tests. Overall, 41.4% of dogs were infected with B. vogeli and/or E. canis as single (35.4%) and mixed (6.1%) infections. The majority of Babesia positive dogs (74.1%) were co-infected with E. canis. PCR detected a higher (P= 0.000) number of positivity in some provinces compared to RLB. To the best of our knowledge, these findings provide the first molecular evidence for the existence of B. vogeli in the Aegean Region, Turkey. The present study pinpoints the distribution and prevalence of E. canis and B. vogeli in the Aegean region of Turkey as of 2004 and as such establishes a baseline. This is of pivotal importance for future studies aimed to demonstrate changes in the dynamics of E. canis and B. vogeli infections in the region.

Published: June 2019

The main aim of the article was to analyze the motives behind the FDI decisions of Chinese companies’ capital engagement in Central and Eastern Europe. The article examines the applicability of existing theoretical concepts towards Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). Chinese OFDI patterns have been found to be consistent with Dunning’s investment development path (IDP) theory, but research shows that OFDI to CEE countries is additionally driven by specific motives different than in other regions. The study has proved that one of the major purposes is to get access to the EU common market. Additionally, data analysis has revealed that CEE countries that are not part of the EU attract proportionally more Chinese FDI than those that have easier access to EU funds.

Data provided by the European Commission show that public expenditures for food supplements have been constantly increasing over the last decade.

The aim of the present study was to analyze the major food supplements regulations in the European Union and in Bulgaria. Relevant publications were searched and found in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus Database, Web of Knowledge, and in Internet-based search with predefined keywords. Numerous authors support the opinion that there is a real risk that low quality products may be distributed in countries with poor production control. Bulgarian national legislation have 6 regulations with different legal force for provision of healthy and safe food supplements on the market. Currently, the European Community is concerned about food products, including FS, launched on the market because the citizens require reliable protection of their health. This concern provoked the European Parliament and the Council to undertake a number of legislative initiatives in the field of production and control of food products. It is necessary to set more precise quality and safety criteria in future strategies associated with those products.

Authors: Olt Serdar , Öznas Orhan , Bağış Haydar , Turanlı Eda Tahir
Published: June 2019

Background: Previous studies have shown that chemerin has important roles in the development of obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and T2DM. The main goal of our study was to investigate the role of Chemerin rs17173608 gene polymorphism in T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus).

Materials and methods: 100 patients with T2DM and 50 healthy volunteers were included in the present study. DNA isolation from blood samples was performed with K1820-02 DNA Mini Kit. Chemerin gene polymorphism was detected by Tetra- Amplification Refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR). At the end of T-ARMS-PCR, samples were run using gel electrophoresis. Some samples were validated by sequence analysis.

Results: In the genotype analysis, 18.0% of patients had TT genotype and 81.0% of TG genotype was detected. GG genotype was not detected in any patient. Genotype of 1 patient was unidentified. Genotype distribution of healthy control group was 12.0% TT genotype and 88.0% TG genotype. Similar to the T2DM group, the GG genotype was not detected in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between T2DM group and healthy control group for TG and TT genotypes.

Conclusion: To our knowledge, chemerin rs17173608 gene polymorphism has been investigated in T2DM for the first time herein. In the present study, the TT genotype ratios were higher in the T2DM subjects than in healthy subjects. G allele frequency in the T2DM group was lower than that in the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups.

Published: June 2019

Aim: To establish the correlation between intraocular pressure (IOP) and thickness of extraocular muscles (EOM), the severity and activity of thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO).

Materials and methods: 50 patients with TAO were included in the study. They all underwent a thorough ophthalmic examination, Goldmann tonometry (mm Hg) and computer tomography of the orbits, the muscle thickness sum (MTS) of each eye being measured in millimeters. According to the activity of TAO, the patients were divided into two groups – with and without activity, and according to the severity of the disease – into 6 groups: Group 1 (‘O’) had only subjective symptoms, group 2 (‘S’) had soft tissue symptoms, group 3 (‘P’) – proptosis, group 4 (‘E’) – ocular motility disorders, group 5 (‘C’) – corneal damage, and group 6 (‘Si’) – visual impairment;

Results: TAO activity was registered in 21 patients (42 eyes, 42%) with MTS 23.39±3.81 and IOP 18.43±4.16. Twenty-nine patients (58 eyes, 58%) with MTS 19±3.21 and IOP 15.98±4.59 showed no TAO activity. The IOP within the groups, in terms of severity, was as follows: group 1 – 19.92+4.05; group 2 – 14.5±2.55; group 3 – 18.04±4.51; group 4 – 18.2±5.05; group 5 – 20.5±4.5; group 6 – 21.5±4.95. A correlation between the IOP and MTS was found.

Conclusions: The IOP in patients with TAO depends on the thickness of the EOM, as well as on the activity and severity of the disease.

Published: June 2019

Aim: To compare the levels, causes and the impact of stress from cohort of fifthyear dental students in the Faculties of Dental Medicine in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and Montpellier, France.

Materials and methods: The questionnaire we used comprised the modified version of the 56-item Dental Environment Stress (DES) questionnaire. It was completed by fifth-year undergraduate dental students in both faculties in 2011 and 2016, totaling 335 dental students. A five-point Likert scale was used to record the responses from the subjects. Statistical analysis was performed with STATA version 14.1 (StataCorp, College Station, USA) specialized software.

Results: The mean age of studied population was not significantly different between 2011 and 2016 (p=0.08). The common stress value per student was 1.74 (CI: 1.64; 1.84, range: 0.12; 4.50). It was higher in Plovdiv (1.79±0.81) than in Montpellier (1.63±0.66); it was statistically higher for girls (1.94±0.70) than for boys (1.49±0.77), and decreased between 2011 and 2016. A significant overall effect of the common mean stress was influenced by the town (p=0.008), year of study (p=0.003), gender (p=0.0001) and accommodation (p=0.01) of the student.

Conclusion: Academicals and clinical factors of stress are prevailing stressors during education. The challenge is now to decrease the influence of both, without altering the quality of dental education. Regular discussions and debriefs about the clinical cases before and after clinical activity. Alternative methods of education and examination, such as interactive methods, could be considered in order to reduce the stress of theoretical exams.
Deformation patterns in the Van region (Eastern Turkey) and their significance for the tectonic framework

Published: June 2019

The area of investigation is located on the south-eastern shore of Lake Van in Eastern Turkey where a destructive earthquake took place on 23rd October, 2011 (Mw = 7.1). Following the earthquake, different source mechanisms, deformations, and types of faulting have been suggested by different scientists. In this research, Edremit district and vicinities located on the southern side of Van have been investigated to understand the deformation pattern in a travertine (400 ka) formation on the surface, and its structural and stratigraphic relationships with the main faults under the surface by using two-dimensional (2D) Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) profiles. The results were used to document the deformation pattern of rocks with the Miocene and the Holocene (400 ka travertine) in ages. By means of the investigations, deformation patterns implying the tectonic regimes during the Oligocene–Miocene–Pliocene, and Quaternary time have been determined. According to detailed field work, the local principal stress direction has been defined as approximately N 35° W. This is also supported by the joint set and slip-plane data. Moreover, Oligocene– Miocene units provide a similar principal stress direction. Our data suggest that the southern part of the Elmalık fault is characteristic of reverse faults rather than of the normal fault system that has been previously reported. In addition, the Gürpınar fault controlling the deformation patterns of the region is a reverse fault with dextral component.

Published: June 2019

Climate projections have revealed the perspective of changing the climate of the world's wine regions in the coming decades by diversifying heliothermal resources. Research in the Cotnari winegrowing region over the past decade has shown that the local climate has been affected by such developments especially after 1980. This research continues the series of studies on the climate of the Cotnari winegrowing region through projections of the climatic conditions for the 2020-2100 time period based on the RCP 4.5 scenario. Average annual temperature, warmest month temperature, precipitation during the growing season, length of the growing season and the Huglin, IAOe and AvGST bioclimatic indices for the 2020-2050, 2051-2080 and 2081-2100 time periods indicate the evolution of Cotnari area climate towards suitability for red wines and loss of suitability for the white wines. Climatic suitability classes for wine production, shift between 2020-2100 to the higher, cooler zone of the winegrowing region, narrowing down their surface and disappearing successively at the maximum altitude of 315 m asl. They are further replaced from the lower zone by classes specific to warmer climates. The suitability for white wines, specific to wine region, disappears at the maximum altitude of 315 m asl around 2060, being replaced by climate suitability for the red wine production. The average temperature of the growing season will exceed 19.5°C after 2080, becoming unsuitable for the production of red quality wines of Cabernet Sauvingnon variety. After 2050, in the lower zone of the winegrowing region the warm IH5 class, suitable for Mediterranean varieties such as Carignan and Grenache will install, as compared to temperate IH3 class which characterizes today the lower zone and allows the production of white wines of the local Feteasca albă, Grasa de Cotnari, Frâncușa and Tămâioasa românească varieties. The results suggest the need to develop strategies for adapting the viticulture of the Cotnari area to climate change.
Programs for Prevention and Management of Natural Disasters in the European Countries of The Larger Area of The Black Sea Basin
Authors: Marcel Rusu
Published: June 2019

The hazards that have cross-border consequences and represent a great problem for communities, become an obstacle to sustainable development and lead to disasters when combined with vulnerability and insufficient capacity to mitigate the risk. A short overview of research already implemented and in progress presents us a shift in systematic evaluation of the hazards and disasters at local and areal level. Hazard assessment of natural disasters (earthquakes, landslides and floods) on these scales can give results which can be directly used to take right decisions regarding preventive measures and plan effective actions of post-event management. The issue is widely recognized in the european union (eu) implicitly also in the black sea area, and a lot of efforts have already been made to mitigate the effects of disasters, obviously through the formation of numerous eu institution, established organizations and funded projects. The key elements for an effective mitigation of natural disasters are hazard identification and risk assessment, which must be based on scientifically grounded methodologies, reliable and accurate data. Successful resolution of the issues mentioned above will provide the ability to systematically assess natural disasters on regional and local scales, even in cross-border areas, by providing comparable hazard maps that will support the decision-making process in relation to mitigation measures required. The effective way of action against them is by providing applied research and technology transfer between partners in different countries by solving the problems such as lack of reliable information and lack of 'common ground' in the methodologies used to assess natural hazards and adopted procedures for mitigation.
The Vowel System of Podhale Goralian
Authors: Rubach Jerzy , Łuszczek Tomasz
Published: June 2019

This paper is a report on the phonological research done in the past two years investigating Podhale Goralian. The data are drawn from our informants in Dzianisz.

The paper establishes the system of surface contrasts in Goralian and identifies instances of complementary distribution. It is claimed that the renowned Podhale Archaism is no longer represented by the vowel [i]. Rather, the vowel has retracted to the central vowel [ɨ]. The original [ɨ], on the other hand, has lowered and fronted and is now best regarded as tense [e]. These transitions of vowels pose challenges for a phonological analysis. A sample of such analysis (Final Tensing) is shown in the framework of Optimality Theory.

Published: June 2019

Citrus reticulata Blanco crude flowers extracts (CFE) at four different concentrations (1, 2, 3 and 4%, v/v) were used as natural milk coagulant instead of rennet to apply for Cheddar cheese making from buffalo milk. The physicochemical properties of Cheddar cheeses were compared with cheese made with 0.002% (v/v) rennet (control cheese). Physicochemical properties of Cheddar cheese showed that cheese made with 1% and 2% of CFE had a crumbly and slightly softer texture/appearance. While cheeses containing 3 and 4% crude flowers extracts had semi-hard texture/appearance of curd similar to rennet added cheese. Protein analysis shows that crude flowers extracts made cheese had significantly higher protein content than control. The Cheddar cheese with 3% and 4% CFE were preferred by panelists instead of 1% and 2% CFE for their taste, texture/appearance and overall acceptability. Conclusively, crude flowers extracts coagulated Cheddar cheese fulfills the compositional requirement with acceptable organoleptic characteristics and at the same time provides nutritional health benefits.

The Mystisim Of Bhairawa Tantra In The Myth Of Ida Ratu Gede Mas Macaling Dalem Nusa In The Balinese Cultural Tradition
Authors: Dian Saputra I Made
Published: June 2019

The myth of Ida Ratu Gede Mas Macaling Dalem Nusa still exists until now. The myth is so alive in the Balinese social environment that it is made to be identical with everything which is mysterious. Its existence is always connected with the practice of native healing and other growing and developing traditional spiritual practices. There are several palm-leaf manuscripts narrating the existence of Ida Ratu Gede Mas Macaling Dalem Nusa. The version narrated in one palm-leaf manuscript is different from that narrated in another. However, his existence is always connected with the existence of one small island named Nusa Penida, an island which is under his control. He is pictured as a “frightening” spirit and the myth and his existence have hypnotized the Balinese people; therefore, it is interesting to investigate the myth. The existence of the myth is described from the perspective of the mysticism of Bhairawa Tantra, which developed rapidly during its era in Bali.
Revisiting Bolivian Studies: Reflections on Theory, Scholarship, and Activism since 1980
Authors: Larson Brooke
Published: June 2019

As both a focus and locus of vibrant scholarly work, the field of Bolivian studies burst onto the international scene, carving a distinctive niche for itself within the larger fields of Andean and Latin American studies over the past twenty-five years. Bolivia went from being the hemisphere’s “least studied” country, according to a 1984LASA Forumsurvey, to becoming a beacon of intercultural dialogue, vanguard scholarship, and postcolonial debate. This essay traces Bolivian studies’ coming of age. Plotting the field’s developments and dialogues across history, anthropology, and ethnohistory, it argues that a dual process of academic decentering and epistemic reinvention unfolded in Bolivia at the height of its indigenous and popular mobilizations during the 1990s and early 2000s. The article closes by identifying five thematic clusters of recent research and briefly reflects on the place of Bolivian scholarship in the wider purview of Andean studies.

Bu çalışmanın amacı; ülkemizde faal olarak basketbol oynayan elit sporcuların tribünde yer alan seyirci etkisinin oluşturduğu algıyı ve bunun performansa yansımasını incelemektir. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 24.76 ± 5.47 olan, 133 erkek ile 73 kadın sporcu katılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen demografik bilgileri toplayıcı ve tribün algısını ölçmek için belirlenmiş 5’li likert cevap alternatifinde, 27 soru anket halinde kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi için istatistik paket programından yararlanılmış ve yüzde frekans analizleri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca yapılan normallik testi sonucunda verilerin normal dağılmadığı tespit edilmiş ve buna bağlı olarak sorulara verilen puan ortalamaları ikili karşılaştırmalar için Mann Whitney U, çoklu karşılaştırmalar için ise Kruskall Walis testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Çoklu karşılaştırmalarda bu yöntemle tespit edilen anlamlılık durumunun hangi gruptan kaynaklandığını anlayabilmek için de post hoc testi yardımı ile elde edilen farkın sebebini açıklayıcı analizin sonucu, tablolardaki ortalama değerlerinin sağ yan taraflarına harfler konularak aynı harf içeren değerlerde fark olmadığı ifade edilmek istenmiştir. Kullanılan anketin Crombach’s Alpha güvenilirlik katsayısı 0.901 olarak bulunmuştur. Ankette yer alan sorulardan, tribünde değer verilen bir insanın bulunması halinde, performansın nasıl etkileneceği sorusuna katılımcıların yaklaşık %60 oranında olumlu etkileneceği yönünde cevaplar verdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan tribündeki taraftar sayısına bağlı algıyı ölçmek için sorulan sorularda elde edilen cevapların, cinsiyete bağlı olarak değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak elit basketbolcularda tribün etkisi algısının başta cinsiyet olmak üzere, farklı demografik özelliklere bağlı farklılıklar içerdiği ve bu durumun daha detaylı analizlere muhtaç olduğu kanısına varılmıştır.
Edukacja medialna „pokolenia kciuka” – błahostka czy obowiązek?

Dorośli często uważają, że korzystanie z mediów, zwłaszcza z Internetu, i coraz bardziej zaawansowanych urządzeń multimedialnych jest dla nich czymś nowym, z czym nie zawsze umieją sobie sprawnie poradzić. Osobami, których najczęściej pytają o efektywne korzystanie z zasobów medialnych, są ich dzieci, gdyż to właśnie one są nazywane „pokoleniem kciuka” z racji tego, że spędzają najwięcej czasu na użytkowaniu mediów. Wśród społeczeństwa rodzi się pogląd mówiący o tym, że to właśnie dzieci i młodzież są specjalistami od korzystania z sieci czy urządzeń o coraz bardziej zaawansowanych możliwościach. Mając na uwadze tę opinię, należy zadać pytanie o zasadność realizowania edukacji multimedialnej wśród ludzi, którzy po wirtualnym świecie poruszają się często sprawniej niż po chodniku. W niniejszym artykule scharakteryzowano rolę edukacji w życiu człowieka, omówiono efekty edukacji medialnej, a następnie skonfrontowano je z niebezpieczeństwami, jakie niesie za sobą nieświadome korzystanie z mediów.

Filozofia wychowania Wojciecha Chudego
Authors: Szudra-Barszcz Anna
Published: June 2019

Filozofia wychowania Wojciecha Chudego nabudowana jest na personalistycznej koncepcji człowieka, która łączy podejście metafizyczne (podkreślając stałość i niezmienność pierwiastków osobowych) z nowożytnym (akcentując podmiotowość i dynamizm osoby), co skutkuje koncepcją człowieka jako będącego i zarazem stającego się osobą w toku całego swego życia. Dynamizm osoby Wojciech Chudy upatruje przede wszystkim w płaszczyźnie moralnej. Taka perspektywa pozwala mu określić wychowanie jako samowychowanie, które odbywa się w spotkaniu z drugim człowiekiem.
Charakterystyka zarządzania kryzysowego w ochronie środowiska naturalnego
Authors: Ślusarczyk Zenon
Published: June 2019

Zapobieganie zagrożeniom dla środowiska to problem złożony i wieloaspektowy. Aby zatrzymać proces niszczenia zasobów przyrodniczych, potrzebna jest spójna i długofalowa europejska polityka ochrony środowiska, realizowana konsekwentnie na poziomie państwowym i lokalnym. Najczęściej z zagrożeniami dla środowiska naturalnego stykają się władze samorządu lokalnego. Artykuł ma na celu scharakteryzowanie zarządzania kryzysowego w ochronie środowiska naturalnego, omówienie podstawowych pojęć, rodzajów zagrożeń i rodzajów zarządzania kryzysowego oraz organizacji systemu zarządzania kryzysowego w ochronie środowiska naturalnego w Polsce. W konkluzji autor stwierdził, że zarządzanie kryzysowe to rozeznanie zagrożeń, ich typów oraz planowanie działań w przypadkach ich wystąpienia oraz kontrola ich prawidłowego przebiegu. Ważnym elementem tych działań jest edukacja i informacja o stanie zagrożeń i ochrony środowiska oraz możliwych zagrożeń wynikających głównie z zanieczyszczeń powierza, wód i gleby, powodzi i pożarów.
2,2’-Dipyridylamine as Heterogeneous Organic Molecular Electrocatalyst for Two-Electron Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Acid Media
Authors: Yin Xi , Lin Ling , Martinez Ulises , Zelenay Piotr
Published: June 2019

Continuous production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e-ORR) in distributed electrochemical cells offers important advantages for point-of-use water treatment and pulp bleaching over the complex industrial anthraquinone process. A low-cost, heterogeneous 2e-ORR electrocatalyst with high activity and selectivity is key to meeting the future needs for distributed production of H2O2 with large capacity. Herein, we demonstrate high activity and selectivity of a new heterogeneous organic molecular electrocatalyst, 2,2’-dipyridylamine, with an H2O2 yield of ca. 80%, and an onset potential of ca. 0.60 V vs. RHE in acidic aqueous electrolyte. We show that this acid-compatible, inexpensive, small organic molecule can catalyze 2e-ORR as efficiently as the state-of-the-art catalysts based on mercury-precious metal alloys. We propose different mechanisms of dioxygen electroreduction based on density functional theory calculations, which correlate activity with calculated standard reduction potential of reaction intermediates.
Blinded Prediction of Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Using Amber Thermodynamic Integration for the 2018 D3R Grand Challenge 4
Authors: Zou Junjie , Tian Chuan , Simmerling Carlos
Published: June 2019

In the framework of the 2018 Drug Design Data Resource (D3R) grand challenge 4, blinded predictions on relative binding free energy were performed for a set of 39 ligands of the Cathepsin S. We leveraged the GPU-accelerated thermodynamic integration (GTI) of Amber 18 to advance our computational prediction. When our entry was compared to experimental results, good correlation was observed (Kendall’s τ: 0.62, Spearman’s ρ: 0.80 and Pearson’s R: 0.82), with the highest correlation to experiment among all submissions. We designing a parallelized transformation map that placed ligands into several groups based on common alchemical substructures; TI transformations were carried out for each ligand to the relevant substructure, and between substructures. Our calculations were all conducted using the linear potential scaling scheme in Amber TI because we believe the softcore potential/dual topology approach implemented in current Amber TI is highly fault-prone. The issue was illustrated by using two examples in which typical preparation for the dual topology approach of Amber TI fails. Overall, the high accuracy of our prediction is a result of recent advances in force fields (ff14SB and GAFF), as well as rapid calculation of ensemble averages enabled by the GPU implementation of Amber. The success in a blinded prediction strongly suggests that alchemical free energy calculation in Amber is a promising tool for future commercial drug design.

perseguindo o conceito do olhar educado: os caminhos da vídeo-arte no Instagram
Authors: Medrado Allex
Published: June 2019

Este texto empreende na busca de desvendar/construir o conceito do olhar educado dentro de uma perspectiva contemporânea que aloca o sujeito e as imagens em um espaço-tempo diluído. As experiências imagéticas cotidianas são agora instagradas, apropriadas, geolocalizadas, virtualizadas, ubíquas e interativas. Nesse contexto a epistemologia da Cultura Visual segue como uma ferramenta que entrecruza e costura esse conceito e alarga os sentidos para os procedimentos metodológicos. O objetivo do artigo é apresentar ideias e uma conjuntura que esboce os caminhos da videoarte dentro do instagram traçando uma linha de fuga entre o conceito de olhar educado para as novas mídias digitais através da abordagem da Cultura Vperisual.
corpo em suspensão: uma investigação sobre escultura, bricolage e natureza-morta
Authors: Yuki Amanda
Published: June 2019

Esta pesquisa apresenta uma investigação no âmbito da escultura na arte contemporânea com ênfase na construção de um universo particular que se utiliza de objetos coletados para produção de “corpos” que se encontram suspensos entre o real e o imaginário. A pesquisa visa estudar as semelhanças e diferenças entre assemblagem e bricolagem, assim como a relação da natureza morta com os significados literais das palavras que a compõe. O processo criativo que levou à série abordada é destrinchado para uma melhor compreensão através de uma linha do tempo desde as disciplinas cursadas na graduação em Artes Visuais até a elaboração do trabalho de conclusão de Curso. Desse modo, são apresentados alguns trabalhos experimentais em modelagem realizados em Ateliê 1 e duas fotografias sobre um estudo do efêmero, para a partir deles iniciar a abordagem do conjunto de objetos que deu origem a esta pesquisa.

ORIGINALISMO, INTERPRETAÇÃO CONSTITUCIONAL E SEUS SENTIDOS POLÍTICOS
Authors: Ericksen Lauro
Published: June 2019

Trata do originalismo, método hermenêutico norte-americano de cariz histórico. Objetiva escrutinar sentido original, atendo-se a sua força interpretativa semântica, valendo-se, para tanto, da verificação de sua inquirição histórica como escopo interpretativo-normativo. Propõe o debate político inserido no contexto interpretativo constitucional como mote do desenvolvimento dos métodos hermenêuticos, asseverando que o originalismo se alinha ao espectro conservador. Metodologicamente, vale-se do viés empirista e epistemológico de sua inquirição histórica, para o alcance do sentido original pretendido. Considera que o originalismo possui uma sólida premissa histórica em oposição a interpretações extratextuais. Conclui que o originalismo é uma fonte substancial de interpretação em apego a lei, consolidada pela leitura textual de suas linhas.
Boulesic-Doxastic Logic
Authors: Rönnedal Daniel
Published: June 2019

In this paper, I will develop a set of boulesic-doxastic tableau systems and prove that they are sound and complete. Boulesic-doxastic logic consists of two main parts: a boulesic part and a doxastic part. By ‘boulesic logic’ I mean ‘the logic of the will’, and by ‘doxastic logic’ I mean ‘the logic of belief’. The first part deals with ‘boulesic’ concepts, expressions, sentences, arguments and theorems. I will concentrate on two types of boulesic expression: ‘individual x wants it to be the case that’ and ‘individual x accepts that it is the case that’. The second part deals with ‘doxastic’ concepts, expressions, sentences, arguments and theorems. I will concentrate on two types of doxastic expression: ‘individual x believes that’ and ‘it is imaginable to individual x that’. Boulesic-doxastic logic investigates how these concepts are related to each other. Boulesic logic is a new kind of logic. Doxastic logic has been around for a while, but the approach to this branch of logic in this paper is new. Each system is combined with modal logic with two kinds of modal operators for historical and absolute necessity and predicate logic with necessary identity and ‘possibilist’ quantifiers. I use a kind of possible world semantics to describe the systems semantically. I also sketch out how our basic language can be extended with propositional quantifiers. All the systems developed in this paper are new.
On Complex Inflation Targeting and Modified Inflation Indicators (Experience of Georgia)
Authors: Papava V. , Charaia V.
Published: June 2019

The paper analyzes inflation targeting which used in many countries as a tool for the monetary policy of central banks. The study of the experience of inflation targeting over the past quarter century shows a number of shortcomings. The important one is that inflation targeting is powerless in relation to import inflation. This problem is particularly acute for import-dependent countries. The authors summarize the failure of inflation targeting to influence the import of inflation regarding inflation caused by the increase in production costs. The problem is studied by the example of post-communist Georgia (that uses inflation targeting) and its major trading partners. The authors analyze various modifications of the inflation indicator, such as agflation, munflation, and imflation. It is shown that the first two reflect price fluctuations on the nutrition, medical care, medication and utilities. Imflation reflects the dynamics of import prices on the domestic market, in the formation of which the exchange rate of the national currency is of great importance. The indicators of agflation and munflation together with the traditional indicator of inflation should become one of the important macroeconomic indicators for governments that develop economic and social policies. The authors propose a new approach to monetary policy, called complex inflation targeting. In this case, monetary policy targets are not only inflation, but also imflation. As for the exchange rate of the national currency, it should be influenced by the actual level of the imflation indicator.
Financial and Economic Performance of the Russian Railways in the Context of Reform
Authors: Macheret D. A. , Valeev N. A.
Published: June 2019

The performance of companies in the real sector of the economy is highly relevant for the economic development of the country. The Joint Stock Company “Russian Railways” (the JSCo “RZD”) occupies a special place in the Russian economy, since it does 45% of the total cargo turnover and more than 25% of passenger traffic in the country. The aim of the article is to identify trends in key financial and economic indicators of the Russian railways in the context of the structural reform of the industry. The objective of the study is to develop a methodology for the long-term management of the financial and economic performance of the railways, as well as recommendations for its sustainable growth. The authors analyzed the financial and economic performance of the JSCo “RZD” for 15 years. They used the analysis of time series, logical and analytical method, as well as benchmarking — comparative analysis based on reference indicators. It is shown that with a low but positive profitability, the company’s financial and economic situation can be improved. The authors reviewed the dynamics of the operating costs ratio, whose value has an excessively high level in the JSCo “RZD”. To identify ways to achieve the optimum level of operating costs ratio, an analysis of financial and economic indicators of the US railway companies was conducted. The factors contributing to the systematic improvement of the operating costs ratio were revealed. Among them are: increase in the JSCo “RZD” market opportunities and their competent use based on flexible adaptation to market conditions and changing customer needs; attraction of private and private-state investments. On this basis, the following actions are proposed for improving the financial and economic indicators of the JSCo “RZD”: monitoring of the operating costs ratio; developing a scenario program to improve the long-term competitiveness and effectiveness of the Russian Railways for the period of 2025–2035. The materials of the article are of practical importance and can be used by public authorities, transport companies, as well as for the educational purposes.
