Authors: Arapah Elvina , Mu’in Fatchul
Published: March 2017

This research is aimed at describing the use of personal pronouns of Banjarese and American English.The research uses the Convergent Parallel Design. Data are collected by using two kinds of questionnaires. The first  is for 37 students belonging to Banjar Kuala Dialect (BKD), and the second is for 24 students belonging to Banjar Hulu Dialect (BHD). Research result shows that Banjarese and American English’ pronouns are based on singular and plural distinction although Banjarese does not have a gender distinction as in the American English. The personal pronouns are the first, second and third persons. English personal pronouns depend mostly on the grammatical role while Banjarese personal pronouns can indicate the social status or the relation of the speaker and other persons in the discourse.  Personal pronouns can reveal the social status, and they can the politeness or impoliteness of the speakers.
Investigating Chinese EFL Learners’ Comprehension of English Idioms
Authors: Xie Hua
Published: March 2017

This study investigates how Chinese EFL learners’ understanding of English idioms is associated with their judgments of idiom familiarity, transparency. Another factor, context is also explored for its role in idiom comprehension. Results show learners’ familiarity rating is positively correlated with their idiomatic knowledge, transparency rating does not indicate clear correlation; it is easier for learners to understand high-familiar and high-transparent idioms. Context exerts a facilitating role in learners’ interpretation of idioms, and there are significant interaction effects between familiarity and context. The findings provide pedagogical implications for teachers to use classroom activities or exercises to increase learners’ exposure to English idioms.
Action Research as a Bottom-up Approach to Foster Teacher Involvement in Language Curriculum Change
Authors: Bolghari Mina Saghaieh , Hajimaghsoodi Arezoo
Published: March 2017

Despite the popularity of action research in the field of teacher education and professional development, not much is found regarding the role of action research in language curriculum development. This lack of interest may stem from the dominance of top-down approach over curriculum development in some EFL contexts where no special place is given to the local needs and wants. This paper starts with the definition and some basic characteristics of action research and then follows with a brief overview of its origins as well as different types. How action research can make changes in a curriculum is discussed next. Then it looks at the role action research may play in creating positive changes in teachers’ roles in curriculum development. Some of the challenges of implementing action research are mentioned later. Finally, the paper ends with some guidelines for teachers to make improvements as a result of conducting action research.

AGRICULTURA DE SUBSISTÊNCIA E ATUAÇÃO DO ESCRAVO E DO EX-ESCRAVO NO SETOR PRIMÁRIO DE SERGIPE- BRASIL
Authors: Gonçalves Hortência de Abreu , Wanderley Lílian de Lins
Published: March 2017

Desde o período colonial até os dias atuais, predominou em Sergipe a grande propriedade, primeiro escravagista e depois ligada ao trabalho indireto e assalariamento. A lavoura canavieira teve uma posição hegemônica até 1940, quando teve início um processo mais acentuado de fragmentação por herança, além do fortalecimento da pecuária na Zona da Cotinguiba. Entretanto, em paralelo, sempre existiu a lavoura alimentícia e a do algodão, ligada à presença de posseiros que invadiram a terra ou a receberam como prêmio ou benefício por parte de algum senhor de engenho ou grande proprietário. Geralmente, essas terras situavam-se nos limites das sesmarias – áreas de difícil acesso – em sesmarias não cultivadas ou semi-exploradas ou ainda, devolutas. Naquele momento, a figura do posseiro, primeiro camponês de Sergipe, passou a representar o percussor da formação da pequena propriedade, mais tarde associado ao papel de agricultor, fenômeno que no Brasil, só vai datar-se a partir do primeiro quartel do século XIX (DINIZ, 1996, p. 52).

ESTRATÉGIAS DE ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM DE VOCABULÁRIO EM SEGUNDA LÍNGUA E O EMPREGO DAS EXPRESSÕES IDIOMÁTICAS
Authors: Hogetop Monica
Published: March 2017

RESUMO De acordo com Nation (2011), Schmitt (2000) e Richards (1976), a maior parte da pesquisa existente sobre ensino do vocabulário até o momento tem tido como foco a compreensão e a produção escritas. O presente estudo justifica-se por somar-se a outros trabalhos que enfocam as expressões idiomáticas, no escopo do ensino e da aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras. Diante da necessidade de contribuir para estudos nessa área, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação existente entre as estratégias de ensino e de aprendizagem de vocabulário e o emprego de expressões idiomáticas.  Além disso, pretende-se analisar como o vocabulário está sendo enfocado em sala de aula e o consequente emprego das expressões idiomáticas nos livros didáticos de língua estrangeira.
REDES EM CONTEXTOS DE APRENDIZAGEM: POSSIBILIDADE DE CONHECIMENTO-REGULAÇÃO E/OU EMANCIPAÇÃO
Authors: Linhares Maria Conceição da Silva
Published: March 2017

Este artigo discute as redes como contextos de aprendizagem

que refletem na construção tanto do conhecimento-

regulação como do conhecimento-emancipação.

Dependendo da concepção, da recepção e da

utilização, tanto pode servir para subordinar o conhecimento

a uma perspectiva hegemônica, racionalista e

linear como pode valorizar a diversidade dos saberes

e linguagens em direção a solidariedade e a humanização.

A análise se pauta na metodologia de estudo

bibliográfico fundamentado em autores, como Adorno

(1995) para discutir a semiformação, Boaventura de

Sousa Santos (2000, 2004), conhecimento-regulação

e conhecimento-emancipação e Castells (2000, 2004,

2009), as redes como fluxo de comunicação, dentre

outros. Os resultados apontam que se os contextos de

aprendizagem com redes forem identificados e refletidos

contribuem para uma vivência significativa com

estas e com a informação por elas articulada, ao atribuir

sentido ao que se lê, quando se identifica o quê, o

como e o para quê da informação; funciona como guia

para elucidar o conhecimento-regulação e suscitar o

conhecimento-emancipação.

LUZ, CÂMERA, (EDUC)AÇÃO: ENSAIO SOBRE O ATO DE SER PROFESSOR A PARTIR DO FILME DOGVILLE, DE LARS VON TRIER
Authors: Oliveira Luiz Fernando de
Published: March 2017

O cinema e todas as artes tornam a vida mais vivível e iluminam a forma como pensamos as nossas práticas e concepções. É a partir dessa convicção que desenvolvo o presente ensaio, fruto de um exercício de reflexão sobre a condição docente a partir do filme Dogville, dirigido pelo cineasta dinamarquês Lars von Trier. As ideias que desenvolvo aqui são pessoais e não se fundamentam em pesquisas empíricas ou mesmo em análises bibliográficas mais sistemáticas, o que, no meu entendimento, justifica a minha opção por chamar este texto de ensaio. Advirto que não sou um profundo conhecedor de cinema – aliás, não sou um profundo conhecedor de nada – nem um estudioso da docência. Sou, contudo, professor, e sou também um apreciador do cinema. Vivo a docência, e o cinema me ajuda a vivê-la. Se, por um lado, isso não me autoriza a escrever como um “crítico profissional” ou como um “cientista”, confere-me, por outro, o direito de pensar a minha condição por meio da fruição fílmica.
Features of brain functioning in bilinguals while performing speech and general cognitive tasks
Authors: Novitskiy N.Y.
Published: March 2017

This article gives an overview of the current status of the problem of plastic brain changes in connection with the study of a foreign language. It links learning of languages with bilingualism, which is a widespread phenomenon in contemporary world. Recent surveys indicate that learning and using additional languages has a direct impact on the overall human cognitive functions whose mechanisms are relatively unknown. In this regard, the most important challenge facing the world today is neuro-biological mechanisms of interaction of languages in the brain of a bilingual and their impact on verbal and nonverbal brain function. Despite the large amount of experimental material on this issue, the data remains controversial, and many authors put under question the existence of such benefits. Possible reason for the discrepancy is a great heterogeneity among bilinguals. In conclusion the article stresses the importance of research of cognitive control in bilinguals in different groups of bi-and multilingual subjects.
Beyond the Spectrum: Rethinking Autism
Authors: Thomas Heather , Boellstorff Tom
Published: March 2017

The "spectrum" has become the dominant metaphor for conceptualizing autism, with fundamental consequences for notions of disability, diversity, and normality. In this article, we draw on ethnographic research with autistic communities to explore how the notion of the autism spectrum has become a focus of explicit identification, reflection, and contestation. To further this inquiry, we place these debates into conversation with earlier debates regarding another spectrum—the Kinsey Scale, a "spectrum" for conceptualizing sexual orientation that first appeared in 1948 but has been critiqued since the 1970s. How might responses to the Kinsey Scale (like the Klein Grid) contribute to rethinking the autism spectrum? This is a question about the cultural and political implications of metaphors and conceptual models. It is of broad importance because the spectrum metaphor is being extended to a range of conditions beyond autism itself. Our goal is thus to build on insights from sexuality studies as well as the insights of autistic persons, advocates, and researchers who wish to forestall the naturalization of "the spectrum." In doing so, we seek to contribute to a discussion of what alternative frameworks might bring to questions of social justice, ability, and human flourishing.

Published: March 2017

Na Região do Semiárido nordestino a diminuição da disponibilidade dos recursos hídricos superficiais tem levado a população da zona rural a buscar, nos recursos hídricos subterrâneos, a solução de seus problemas de abastecimento, o que tem acarretado um crescimento no número de perfurações de poços tubulares profundos. O trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade de águas utilizadas para consumo humano em áreas rurais da região de Boa Vista, Paraíba. As amostras de água foram coletadas em poços tubulares, em dois períodos: 4º trimestre de 2014 e 2º trimestre de 2015. As variáveis avaliadas foram: pH, CE, Ca, Mg, Na, K, HCO3 -, Cl, alcalinidade e dureza total e SDT. Das águas analisadas 94,55% são consideradas salgadas nas duas amostragens. Em sua maioria os teores de dureza, alcalinidade, cloreto, magnésio, sódio e potássio estão fora do limite estabelecido pela Portaria vigente no país. Com relação ao pH, as amostras se encontram dentro do padrão normal.

Authors: Mills David
Published: March 2017

Clinical bottom line:

Based on the current evidence, oral doxycycline (10mg/kg PO q24h or 5mg/kg PO q12h) for at least 21 days represents the most efficacious treatment, both in terms of clinical improvement and permanent clearance of Chlamydophila felis infection in cats. In chronic infections, or where the duration of disease is unknown, a longer treatment course of 28 days is indicated. There is limited evidence that co-amoxiclav (12.5-22.5mg/kg q12h PO) may be used as an alternative, though a treatment period of at least 30 days is required.

La Sistematización De Experiencias Educativas. Una Experiencia Con Docentes Universitarios
Authors: Ávila-Meléndez Lilia Rosa , Cortés-Montalvo Jorge Abelardo
Published: March 2017

In the daily and hectic development of our activities we rarely reserve time to think, rethink, and reflect on the results obtained from our actions, and make crucial decisions about how we can modify the way to change our own actions and with that, transform the context where our professional activity is exercised. A methodological model called the systematization of educational experiences is precisely what gives us this space for collaborative dialogue, and self-reflection and with others. The systematization of experiences is described as a research process where the experiences of the actors are recovered through reflection, dialogue and the reconstruction of events with the purpose of collecting awareness and improving their practices. Present work shows an experience with university professors in a strengths-based training course of critical use of the media. Some of the elements that were used for the construction of the learning and recovery experience were: the logbook, the story, the elaboration of didactic materials, videos and photographs. Collaborative work in triad groups and focus group sessions were some of the techniques used for obtaining and documenting relevant data and information. Following an axis of the systematization of the experience, some of the findings were that the professors recognized the need to be open to change, empathy and collaborative work, to promote the development of critical thinking and the application of knowledge. Participating professors also distinguished innovation and strategy design, such as the development of didactic sequences according to the Model for the Development of Academic Competences (M-DECA), for use in planning of their subjects according to the competence approach and the application of the dimensions of media competition.
The Effect of the Presence ofAudit Committees on Earnings Management in Morocco
Authors: El Haddad Mohamed Yassine , Ez-Zarzari Zakaria
Published: March 2017

Our paper will try emphasizing the effect of the presence of audit committees on earnings management within the Moroccan context, and most specifically in the companies listed in the Casablanca stock exchange. We have adopted previous research embedded in the Dechow, Sloan and Sweeny (1995) model of earnings management that requires a maximum of 6 companies by sector, a condition that limited our sample to 27 companies dispatched only on 4 industry sectors. Given that the companies manipulate the accruals to show the increasing results or to maintain the stock price, the role of the audit committee is to ensure that this manipulation is to be reduced in order to provide investors with accurate information. In the Moroccan context, this reduction started appearing in 2014. The years 2011, 2012 and 2013 were marked by a preparation of implementation tools of these committees mainly the integration of independent administrators within the administrative boards. However, due to lack of data, this study might be limited given the fact that the year 2016, which represented a year where the listed companies should have created an audit committee, was not covered by our study.

The importance recently acquired by satisfaction studies in educational institutions has caused scientific interest in the welfare of members of the educational community to increase significantly, given the relationship of this variable, not only to labor productivity, but to the quality of interpersonal relationships within our schools, which is especially necessary in those of rural type. In this regard, we present the following study, funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of Spain with the reference AP2007 – 00294, and whose interest focused on knowing those aspects of social interactions with the rest of the members of the educational community of rural schools in the province of Granada more pleasing and displeasing to their teachers respectively. For this purpose, a descriptive and non-experimental research, focused on the implementation of the survey technique on a sample of 221 teachers in Grenadian rural public schools was designed. Thanks to this methodology, it has been found that rural teachers in Granada value far more the daily support and the friendship of the rest of their coworkers than the involvement of the families in the education of their children or the cooperation of the public administration with the problems of rural educational centers, a result already supported by other scientific research carried out on the subject in the same context.

Authors: Ali Khan Junaid , Deng Shiming , Khan Muhammad Hammad A.K.
Published: March 2017

We study the effects of product variety on operational metrics - inventory turnover and on sales in different mode of operations. Research has shown that performance metrics can vary in different mode of operations. Using 41 months of data from a large retailer, we show that correlation of product variety with inventory turnover and sales is not always negative or positive as shown in previous studies. This correlation can vary depending upon the mode of operations and type of product. Our study highlights impact of increased product variety on inventory turnover and sales in different mode of operations that has previously been overlooked in studies of retail product variety and inventory management. It also quantifies the impact of product variety on inventory turnover and sales.
Application of Motivation in Arab EFL/ESP Learners' Settings: A Socio-Cultural Approach
Authors: Benahnia Abdellah
Published: March 2017

One of the most challenging aspects of language teaching that faces teachers in general and those in the Gulf area in particular is how to "motivate" their learners. Unlike in any other parts of the world, a large segment of the student population in the Gulf area come either from a middle-class or a wealthy-class. However, the poor-class category seems to get larger any time there is a recession period or a drop in the price of oil. Therefore, the student population can be categorized into two main streams: those who are considering education as a vehicle that helps a person to achieve his goals and objectives and excel in life; and another category that looks at education as supplementary luxury added to their lavish life-style and accumulated wealth by their families. This itself serves as a sociocultural barrier to the application of motivation in class in addition to other barriers. This article tries to shed light on some of those barriers and provide suggestions and recommendations on how to boost the learners' motivation, and help reducing underachievement and failures in second language learning in the Gulf area.

We tried to interpret the differences between individual’s income, occupational positions, years of schooling, educational facilities and wealth of family before and after migration process. We found that the significant factors liable for internal migration were mainly occupational, educational and climatic. Ordinary least square technique was applied on three regression models which indicated that there were differences due to internal migration regarding to these economic, demographic and environmental factors in Bangladesh. Also we tried to recommend some policies and instruments about the future policy of internal migration.
Can ShortWarning Messages Reduce Speeding Behaviour? Insights from A/B Testing

Speeding increases the likelihood and severity of an accident, and is the top cause of traffic fatalities. As such, it is important to study interventions such as warning signs and messages that may be able to reduce such behaviour. The main objective of this work was to study the effects of sending short warning messages on speeding behaviour. The study design was an A/B test – drivers who were detected to have sped were randomly assigned into treatment versus control groups. The treatment groups were sent a short warning message, while the control group did not receive any message. There were two types of messages sent – Harsh and Soft. Driver speeds were monitored in the subsequent weeks after the warning was sent out, and the number of repeat offenders and speeds in each group was tracked. We found that drivers who received a warning were 1.3 times less likely to speed in the subsequent week, with the Harsh warning message being 1.6 times more effective than the Soft message. We also found that the effects of harsh messages generally persisted longer than soft messages.

This is with a total of 1338 number of answers.
THE ALTERNATE REALITIES OF PHILIP K. DICK
Authors: Jakovljević Mladen M.
Published: March 2017

Naučnofantastična proza Filipa K. Dika bavi se problematikom autentičnostistvarnosti i ontološkog pluralizma kroz jedinstvene teorije i mehanizme funkcionisanja, koje je Dikrazvio na osnovu ličnih saznanja o alternativnim stvarnostima, toku vremena, simulacijama i kognitivnimprocesima, koji imaju veoma značajnu ulogu u percepciji stvarnosti. Dikovo stvaralaštvoopisuje potragu za istinom i ukazuje na potencijalnu lažnost stvarnosti, koja može da predstavlja samokonstrukt, iluziju u brojnim nivoima neautentičnog, a koji se mogu prozreti tek kada se zanemareopšteprihvaćene kategorije iskustva prostora i vremena, čime se otvara mogućnost da se stekne uvidu pravu stvarnost, skrivenu iza vela obmana, iluzija i snova. U procesu traganja za istinom, Dik pokazujeda celokupna struktura na kojoj je izgrađena poznata, objektivna stvarnost, ne počiva na čvrstimosnovama, već na simulacijama, simulakrumima, paranoji, neizvesnosti, korporativnim uticajima,potrošačkoj kulturi, masovnoj proizvodnji i ontološkom pluralizmu. Dik je prikazao kako izgledakada se pojave pukotine u iluziji autentične stvarnosti, kada više različitih stvarnosti dođu u kontakt ikada jedna stvarnost zameni drugu. Međutim, uklanjanje jednog vela obmane ne znači da iza njega nepostoji još jedan, pa traganje za istinom često završi u lavirintu brojnih, nestabilnih stvarnosti.

V práci sa zameriavame na výskum cudzích slov v hovorených prejavoch.Každý jazyk obohacuje slovnú zásobu nielen utváraním nových slov, ale aj preberaním slov z cudzíchjazykov. Zo spoločného grécko-latinského fondu sa slovenský jazyk stáročia obohacoval.Rovnako tak aj francúzske slová sa dostali do našej slovnej zásoby a v súčasnosti je to angličtina,k čomu prispievajú aj moderné komunikačné technológie. Používanie slov cudzieho pôvodu v prvomrade závisí od vzdelanostnej úrovne komunikujúceho. Vo výskume sme zistili, že lexémyčasto nadobúdajú srbskú podobu ako kontaktového jazyka. Rovnako tak badať aj vplyv nárečia,predovšetkým stredoslovenského typu. V niektorých prípadoch sme zaznamenali vo výslovnostiodklon od spisovnej normy.
CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF LINGUISTIC STRATEGIES USED TO EXPRESS EXPLICIT, EMOTIONAL GRATITUDE IN MACEDONIAN AND ENGLISH
Authors: Neshkovska Silvana T.
Published: March 2017

Cet article aborde les stratégies formelles et informelles pour exprimer la gratitude expliciteet émotionnelle (SGEE) en macédonien et en anglais, en se concentrant sur leur distributiondans le discours formel et informel, ainsi que sur leur fonctions en tant que marqueurs discursifset de politesse. La comparaison est particulièrement intéressante étant donné que les deux languespossèdent une stratégie formelle (blagodaram en macédonien et thank you en anglais) et une stratégieinformelle (fala en macédonien et thanks en anglais). L’analyse est fondée sur un corpus dedonnées linguistiques extraites de deux types de conversations de télévision: des conversations surla politique et sur l’économie et des talk-shows divertissants et informatifs, qui représentent le discoursformel et informel respectivement. En premier lieu, concernant leur distribution, il a été notéque seul l’utilisation de fala informel macédonien était limitée au discours informel, tandis que leformel blagodaram et thank you et l’informel thanks peuvent être utilisés à la fois dans le discoursformel et informel. En ce qui concerne les fonctions de la SGEE en tant que marqueurs discursifs,organisateurs de la structure du discours, il a été confirmé qu’elles pouvaient signaler: le début/la finde l’énonciation ou du discours du locuteur; le début/la fin de la conversation ou d’une partie de laconversation et le début d’une autre partie de la conversation (généralement avec un autre interlocuteur);le début/la fin du programme; l’interruption; la prise de congé et le remerciement ironique.En outre, lorsque les SGEE fonctionnent comme des marqueurs de politesse, elles sont utilisées entant que réponses aux: félicitations et voeux; compliments; salutations; souhaits de bienvenue; introductions;remerciements et la question “Comment allez-vous/vas-tu?” Enfin, quoique l’analysecontrastive ait prouvé l’existence d’un certain nombre de similitudes qui facilitent la communicationentre les locuteurs de ces deux langues, il y a cependant quelques différences dont la négligencepourrait mener à des malentendus sérieux.

The paper analyses the process of giving names within the sphere of cuisine, on the basis of the names of various kinds of sundae. The linguistic material was collected from recipes and includes about 600 units. The starting point for the analysis is the thesis about a close relation of giving names within the given area with a cuisine act. On the example of names, we point out various types of motivation and naming motives which are reflected within the analysed material. Moreover, the derivation typology concerning the analysed lexical group is presented.

ТИРАНИЈА ВЕЛИЧИНЕ – КУЛЕ БЛИЗНАКИЊЕ КОД ДЕЛИЛА
Authors: Стојменовић Виолета В.
Published: March 2017

Рад се бави мотивом Светског трговинског центра односно Кула близнакиња срушених 2001. године, у романима савременог америчког писца Дона Делила. У његовим делима насталим пре терористичког напада куле се у више наврата појављују као амблем Њујорка и савременог капитализма, али и као симбол егзистенцијалних и емоционалних стања јунака и као место дешавања; њихов изглед и намена, њихов положај и функција у друштвено-економској и симболичкој равни живота града предмет су разговора и вредносних ставова неколиких Делилових јунакиња. Начин на који су приказане и контекст у који се те, готово искључиво женске представе о кулама смештају, показују Делилово критичко ангажовање на демистификацији иконичних места и идеологија које таква места и чине иконама савременог света. Логика и стратегија удвајања, копирања, серијске производње, које куле оваплоћују, јесу предмет Делилове романескне анализе имагинарних и симболичких ефеката капитала и њему подређене технологије у савременом друштву. Слика Кула близнакиња у романима Играчи (1977), Мао II (1991) и Подземље (1997) осветљена је из угла Бодријарове теорије о дуополу, Кастелсове концепције дуалног града и Ожеове антропологије неместа (non-lieu).

ТРАДИЦИОНАЛНА ПРЕДСТАВА ВАМПИРА У ПЕКИЋЕВОЈ СОТИЈИ КАКО УПОКОЈИТИ ВАМПИРА
Authors: Јовановић Тамара Д.
Published: March 2017

Текст се бави анализом оног семантичког слоја Пекићеве сотије Како упокојити вампира који репрезентује митолошку раван, односно фокусира се на мотив вампира у делу. Уочена је вишеструка полемичност у сотији, а посебна пажња посвећена је драматичном конфликту који се одвија између Рутковског и повампиреног Адама Трп- ковића. Кроз назначени сукоб рефлектована је и интеракција Рутковског и Штајнбрехера. У наведеним бинарним опозицијама уочен је субјекатско-објекатски механизам који за- право и уводи мотив вампира, а резултира удвајањем јунака. Аналитички резултати, осим што детерминишу начине транспозиције традиционалне представе о вампиру, феномен персонализације митског света уједно повезују с Пекићевим поетичким концептом.
ALHEMIJA DIJAMANTA U ZALJUBLJENIM ŽENAMA: LORENSOVI DEMONI NEPRILAGOĐENOSTI
Authors: Gojković Nataša
Published: March 2017

Rad se bavi promišljanjima Dejvida Herberta Lorensa o čistom, punom životu i rastu i značaju pojedinca, iskazanim u romanu Zaljubljene žene. Na tragu zaključka Sve- tozara Koljevića da je Lorens prvi veliki engleski romansijer koji je pokušao da razbije konven- ciju kompromisa u romanu, time se ujedno vraćajući na same izvore najbolje tradicije engleskog puritanizma, u radu se razmatraju načini na koje Lorensovi junaci izbegavaju egzistencijalne i moralne kompromise ili im pak podležu, te koju cenu plaćaju u oba slučaja. Kad se porede neke od njihovih odluka sa piščevim izborima, nameće se zaključak da je jedini apsolut zapravo nepo- stojanje apsoluta.
