KLK5, a novel potential suppressor of vaginal carcinogenesis
Authors: Pampalakis Georgios , Zingkou Eleni , Sotiropoulou Georgia
Published: March 2018

Vaginal cancer is rare and largely unexplored. We found here that kallikrein-related peptidase 5 (KLK5) is coordinately expressed along with other KLKs in all stratified epithelia, including vagina, pointing to potential role(s) in differentiation. Further, we propose that KLK5 could be implicated in vaginal cancer development based on the fact that Klk5
−/− mice are prone to develop vaginal tumors when exposed to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. Nf-κb activation is markedly enhanced in Klk5
−/−, leading to increased resistance to apoptosis of mutated vaginal cells. This explains the higher tumor numbers observed in Klk5
−/− compared to wildtype. Thus, KLK5 may represent a putative suppressor of vaginal cancer.
Finite cognition and finite semiosis: A new perspective on semiotics for the information age
Authors: Shackell Cameron
Published: March 2018

For semiotics the precipitous arrival of the information age and the “attention economy” suggests a new theoretical standpoint: that semiosis is a function of thefinitenessof human cognition and theallocationof that resource. Proceeding on this basis, a model is presented that offers novel definitions of semiosis and semiotics. Inter-agent similarity of cognition and its mediation through artefacts are then introduced to suggest how finite cognition may be determined and equilibrated through reticular mechanisms. Finally, an explanation of how artefacts evolve to consume cognition based on Foucault’s concept of corpora of knowledge is broached.
From verb to noun and back again: Non-referential uses of nominalizations in Aguaruna (Chicham)
Authors: Overall Simon E.
Published: March 2018

The paper describes the reanalysis of deverbal nominalizations as verbal forms, allowing them to function as predicates of finite and dependent clauses. The paper questions how the reanalyzed forms mark verbal grammatical categories, and data is presented to show that verbal morphology may be marked on a copula, or in some cases directly marked on the nominalization, clearly showing that reanalysis has taken place. The paper also questions what happens to nominal morphology associated with a reanalyzed nominalization, and shows that this too can be reanalyzed and become functionally part of the verbal switch-reference system.
TEM, FTIR and Electrochemistry Study: Desorption of PVP from Pt Nanocubes
Authors: Safo Isaac A. , Dosche Carsten , Oezaslan Mehtap
Published: March 2018

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymer is among one of the widely used surfactants to prepare nano-materials with desired particle shape and particle size. The critical challenge is to remove PVP polymer from the metal surface without loss of the surface arrangement and particle agglomeration. Here, we developed a strategy to remove the surfactant PVP which prefers to form a multi-layer shell and thus blocks the catalytically active surface of the Pt nanocubes (6–7 nm). Since PVP is partially soluble in polar solvents, we studied four different solvent mixtures (volume ratio), (i) methanol/ethanol (3:1), (ii) acetone/water (3:1), (iii) ethanol/chloroform (3:1), and (iv) aqueous 0.1 M acetic acid by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Only, the washing process with methanol/ethanol and acetone/water generates Pt nanocubes with almost clean particle surface. Based on our FTIR results, a shift of the carbonyl band in IR spectrum was observed for methanol/ethanol-washed Pt nanocubes, indicating the coordination of the carbonyl oxygen of the PVP to platinum. The electrochemical experiments showed that the surface area of the methanol/ethanol-washed Pt nanocubes was increased by a factor of 14 compared to the unwashed, while an improvement of 11 times was achieved by washing in acetone/water. However, the CV profile still signifies the presence of strongly adsorbed PVP on the Pt surface. To remove the chemisorbed PVP, an electrochemical cleaning including 200 potential cycles between 0.06 and 1.00 V vs. RHE at 200 mV s−1 was applied. The potential cycling reveals the potential-controlled ad/desorption behavior of the PVP at the Pt surface. Altogether, we designed a cleaning procedure for surfactant-capped metal nanoparticles and provide insights into the interactions between the PVP and Pt surface.
La vigilancia en la obra de Philip K. Dick: Identidades, deseos y conflictos sociales
Authors: Arteaga Botello Nelson
Published: March 2018

Se analiza cómo la vigilancia en la obra de Philip K. Dick permite que actores e instituciones: a) construyan identidades, b) gestionen deseos y c) establezcan campos de disputas y conflictos de poder. La vigilancia aparece a veces como un mecanismo que sirve para la dominación y el control social, y en otras ocasiones como un dispositivo de resistencia que crea espacios de resistencia y autonomía social. Por tanto, la vigilancia puede ser usada con fines civiles y anti-civiles.Los rostros de la vigilancia en Dick permiten entender como ésta se desarrolla en sociedades democráticas y diferenciadas, al contrario de la metáfora del “Gran Hermano” orwelliano desarrollada en un contexto donde predomina una ideología y un régimen político totalitario.
Desestabilización del principio de equivalencia como crisis intelectual en el pensamiento de Jean Baudrillard
Authors: López Soto Luis Alberto
Published: March 2018

En el presente artículo se analiza un aspecto de la obra del sociólogo francés Jean Baudrillard, específicamente la noción de equivalencia, la cual funciona como principio dual válido en tres disciplinas: la lingüística, la economía, el psicoanálisis. Este principio es de naturaleza dual y se presupone como noción fundamental del paradigma moderno, de modo que estas disciplinas se hallan aquí representadas por tres autores fundamentales de la modernidad: Ferdinand de Saussure, Karl Marx y Sigmund Freud. Las equivalencias aquí estudiadas son el signo lingüístico (significante-significado) en Saussure, la teoría del valor (valor de uso-valor de cambio) en Marx y la identidad del sujeto (o latente y lo patente) en Freud. Se hace una revisión del modo en que Baudrillard lee a estos tres autores con el objetivo de asociar aquel a la postmodernidad como crisis intelectual.
Sujetos nacionales en El roto de Joaquín Edwards Bello
Authors: Cid Hidalgo Juan Daniel , Castro Marisol , Albornoz Valentina
Published: March 2018

Este artículo busca reflexionar sobre algunos sujetos miembros de la nación imaginada por Joaquín Edwards Bello y que circulan en su novela El roto (1920). Todos ellos sujetos minoritarios, invisibilizados e infames, pero que sin embargo tienen su cuota de participación en el desarrollo e impulso de la joven nación chilena. Esta gama de sujetos, posee un rol activo en la conformación del proyecto futuro y en la incorporación de los saberes alternos a la pluralidad de voces, fundamento del progresismo en la línea reflexiva de José Victorino Lastarria y su llamado de unidad nacional en pos del perfeccionamiento democrático.
Del conocimiento teórico contemplativo al saber dominador y destructor
Authors: Fornet-Betancourt Raúl
Published: March 2018

En este artículo planteamos el tema de una ruptura epistemológica al interior de la historia intelectual europea. El paso de un saber teórico contemplativo, a un saber técnico dominador. Cambio que tuvo implicaciones no sólo en el terreno de la ciencia, sino también en la economía y en la política. Esta reflexión acerca del cambio de orientación, la hacemos a la vista de un diálogo intercultural, que propone la recuperación de conocimientos vivenciales como sabiduría alternativa presente en muchas culturas.
Introducción
Authors: Corona Fernández Javier
Published: March 2018

Los tres trabajos que integran este dossier se inscriben en la reflexión sobre las maneras de actuar y de conocer propias de la sociedad contemporánea; éste reúne el trabajo de crítica que a partir de autores como Max Weber, Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault, Antonio Negri, Michael Hardt, entre otros, nos ha permitido identificar categorías básicas para investigar y comprender la especificidad de nuestra época. En el marco de la sociedad de control y las peculiaridades del biopoder, el análisis de la situación presente nos lleva a pensar en torno a una forma categorial esencialmente incondicionada; esto es, al ser humano y la formación de su identidad, al individuo que vive en condiciones tanto de opresión como de crítica y de resistencia
Perfiles profesionales de las actrices del cine español del Desarrollismo (1959-1975)
Authors: Sánchez Rodríguez Virginia
Published: March 2018

Hasta hace unas décadas, el cine español elaborado durante el franquismo (1939-1975) parecía encontrarse rodeado de cierto olvido y menosprecio, a pesar de la heterogeneidad de producciones desarrolladas en un período tan extenso y complejo. Afortunadamente, el ámbito académico ha observado el crecimiento de las investigaciones en este contexto en los últimos años. De acuerdo con esa situación, en este trabajo proponemos una aproximación a la industria fílmica de la citada época con una mirada femenina. Desde el punto de vista cronológico, en este estudio ofrecemos un acercamiento al cine elaborado durante el Desarrollismo (1959-1975) a través de las actrices que formaron parte de la disciplina audiovisual. Desde finales de los años cincuenta observamos cómo un grupo de mujeres logró adentrarse en los entresijos del medio como directoras, productoras o guionistas. Sin embargo, la mayor visibilidad femenina aún recaía sobre aquellas mujeres que trabajaban como actrices, mostrando un abanico de mentalidades y de formas de enfrentarse a la vida tan diverso como los propios personajes cinematográficos a los que dieron vida. En este estudio principalmente ofrecemos una mirada sobre los distintos modos en que estas mujeres se integraron en la industria fílmica, ofreciendo una propuesta de perfiles profesionales.
Lo personal es político: un bebé en la sesión de constitución de las Cortes Generales. El tratamiento televisivo del caso de Carolina Bescansa y su hijo
Authors: Bernardez Rodal Asunción , Serrano Fuertes Marta
Published: March 2018

En este artículo se analiza el  papel que tienen los informativos televisivos en la construcción de la imagen de las mujeres en política. En concreto se trata el tema de Carolina Bescansa que acudió al Congreso de los Diputados con su bebé el día en que se constituían las Cortes el 13 de enero de 2016. El texto realiza un análisis de cómo se dio la noticia en las distintas cadenas televisivas generalistas en España: qué representantes de los partidos políticos intervinieron, cuánto tiempo se les dio la palabra, y cuál fue sobre todo el argumentario utilizado por los participantes sobre todo para descalificar la decisión de Bescansa. Este caso es un ejemplo no sólo de cómo las mujeres pueden ser descalificadas en la vida política por cuestiones privadas, sino también de cómo la maternidad y los cuidados son un tema a debate en nuestras sociedades. Un ejemplo que puede llevar a una eventual y necesaria discusión sobre la necesidad de replantear algunos aspectos de lo considerado aceptado y aceptable en sociedad: tanto en la palestra de los políticos como en la grada de los críticos. Puesto que ambos espacios, en cumplimiento de la norma democrática, se están abriendo cada vez más a un número creciente de personas, clases y trasfondos.
Entrepreneuriat hybride et incubation – Quand les employés deviennent entrepreneurs et les organisations réinventent le travail
Authors: Chirita Gabriel , Gonthier Jérôme
Published: March 2018

Quel serait l’avenir du travail dans les prochaines décennies? Épineux sujet qui préoccupe de plus en plus les chercheurs, les communautés et les décideurs. Plusieurs études estiment que 40 à 70 % des métiers d’aujourd’hui seront automatisés d’ici les vingt prochaines années. Serait-ce la fin de la société salariale? La fin de l’emploi? Qu’adviendra-t-il des milieux de travail? Quel rôle les organisations auront-elles à jouer dans l’évolution du travail? Étant donné ces questions préoccupantes, il est d’ores et déjà primordial d’identifier et d’étudier de nouvelles formes d’organisation du travail naissantes. Nous vous présentons ici un possible scénario comme solution à l’épineux problème de l’emploi. Il s’agit de la métamorphose des salariés en entrepreneurs au sein des incubateurs d’affaires mis en place par les organisations qui les embauchent : une solution qui profite tant aux porteurs de projet qu’aux organisations en quête d’innovations. En permettant aux organisations d’innover et aux salariés de s’épanouir, les incubateurs constituent un laboratoire qui apprend aux entreprises à gérer des individus à l’aube d’une ère post-emploi.

Seksistinių nuostatų reikšmė seksualinio priekabiavimo atpažinimui
Authors: Čeponytė Monika , Žardeckaitė-Matulaitienė Kristina
Published: March 2018

Sexual harassment is one of the most commonly experienced forms of sex-based discrimination. Over 55 percent of women in Europe and over 35 percent of women in Lithuania endure any form of sexual harassment since the age of 15 (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights survey 2014). However, despite the frequent sexual harassment experience, in the past six years, only four sexual harassment complaints had been filed in Lithuania and to this day there isno information on men’s sexual harassment experience. According to the research, the lack of sexual harassment data and the low number of complaints can be related to the differences in perception of this phenomenon, which leads to a poor recognition of sexual harassment. There is a lack of data on the perception of sexual harassment and its related factors in Lithuania; therefore, the purpose of the study is to assess the relationship between sexist attitudes, gender,age, socioeconomic status and the recognition of sexual harassment of Lithuanian men and women. The research consisted of 345 participants (98 men and 247 women). The average age was 27.1 years (SD=8.478). Fourteen self-report vignettes were created based on the Bursik (1992) vignettes and consultations with the Office of the Equal Opportunities Ombudsperson to measure the participants’ perception of a hostile environment (Cronbach α 0.804) and quid pro quo(Cronbach α 0.728) sexual harassment. Sexist attitudes were measured using the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick, Fiske 1996) (Cronbach α 0.943). Questions related to participants’ age, gender and socioeconomic status were also included in this survey. The results have shown that participants with higher ratings on the sexism scale were less likely to rate situations as sexual harassment than the participants with lower such results. It was found that men evaluate all types of sexual harassment situations as significantly less severe than women. All participants tend to evaluate situations where the victim is a female as more severe than situations where the victim is male. Hostile sexism was a major factor predicting lower ratings when evaluating the severity of quid pro quo and hostile environment sexual harassment situations.

Honfoglalás kori sír Tiszapüspöki határában
Authors: Fodor István , Kertész Róbert
Published: March 2018

A female burial of the Conquest period came to light on the outskirts of Tiszapüspöki, a settlement lying north of Szolnok, during the salvage excavations preceding the construction of the M4 Motorway. The west to east oriented burial was disturbed by a ditch and during the mechanical humus removal. Lying beside the skeletal remains were a pair of tinned bronze braid ornaments, a bracelet of sheet bronze, beads, the fragment of an iron awl and a bone bead. The burial and its finds can be dated to the 10th century.

Part of an Árpádian Age settlement was uncovered at Jászfényszaru–Szőlők alja in 2007. An earlier (11th century–turn of the 12th/13th centuries) and a later (turn of the 12th/13th centuries– 14th century) occupation layer could be distinguished. A plot boundary, several rows of houses and a street could be distinguished in the settlement.
Középső vaskori öntőformák alsópáhokról
Authors: Horváth László
Published: March 2018

The finds and features of several archaeological periods were uncovered in 2009 during the salvage excavations preceding the construction of the Hévíz bypass of Road 76. Of these, roughly 110 features forming five distinct clusters were part of a Middle Iron Age open settlement. The two moulds made from local sandstone were used for casting bronze buttons or loop buttons and small bow brooches. One of the two bivalve moulds was strongly worn, while the other was semi-finished. The bronze workshop located in the middle of the settlement was made up of two buildings and their immediate vicinity. The bronze bars and rods were raw materials awaiting processing. The richly diverse material can be dated to the later 6th century BC (Ha D2): one portion is typical for the period’s assemblages from Transdanubia, another can be linked to the Scythians, while a few artefacts reflect contact with the south-eastern Alpine region. The open settlement investigated at Alsópáhok is part of the Keszthely micro-region, where other sites yielding relics of bronze metallurgy have been found (Keszthely-Apátdomb, Keszthely-Fenékpuszta).
Nyelvek, népek, térképek (Néhány észrevétel Juha Janhunen hipotéziséhez)
Authors: Fodor István
Published: March 2018

Juha Janhunen has recently presented his new theory on the formation and spread of the Uralian language family, according to which Proto-Uralic emerged in eastern Siberia in the vicinity of Proto-Altaic. The Uralic languages later spread from this region as far as Scandinavia and Central Europe. However, this theory is essentially no more than hypothetical linguistic speculation since it does not take into account the evidence of the history of various peoples, principally the fact that there is nothing in the archaeological record to indicate that there was a large-scale migration from eastern Siberia to eastern Europe during the Stone Age.
A Sopot-kultúra temetkezése Nemesvámosról
Authors: Regenye Judit
Published: March 2018

Described in the study is a burial of the Sopot Culture. The solitary burial found on the settlement and its rich inventory of finds (vessels, a Spondylus pendant and beads) provides the springboard for an overview of the culture’s burial rite and grave goods as well as its cultural contacts. One of the unique traits of the burial is that it incorporates both the Linearbandkeramik traditions of the Transdanubian Sopot Culture and the typical finds of the Slavonian Sopot Culture.
Noch einmal über die Feldzüge von Augustus im Karpatenbecken
Authors: Visy Zsolt
Published: March 2018

The campaigns of Augustus in the Carpathian basin, connected with the occupation of Pannonia (Illyricum) have been discussed in many papers. The general was Tiberius, but also a Vinicius and Cornelius Lentulus are mentioned in the sources. Many different and controversial solutions have been proposed for the chronology, the extension and the process of the wars. After having summarized the different proposals again this paper returns to one of them which has on the basis of the newer observations the highest probability.
Religion in Suetonius’ life of Augustus
Authors: Adamik Tamás
Published: March 2018

Suetonius describes the lives of Caesars according to categories such as antecedents, birth, career, achievements, morals, religion, appareance, and death. In my paper I examine the function of religion in The Deified Augustus of Suetonius. Firstly I list the places where phenomena concerning religion appear. Then I analyse the attitude of Augustus towards religions; e.g. he took dreams very seriously, and regarded certain auspices and omens as infallible. Suetonius treats the religious beliefs of Augustus long because he regards them as very important. Augustus wanted to enhance the sacred character of his principate, therefore he acquired membership in several priesthoods.
Εὐχαί ὑπὲρ τῶν παίδων: Augustus and some honors for Gaius and Lucius in the Roman east
Authors: Caliri Elena
Published: March 2018

Augustus felt an urgent need to justify the honours conferred on his adoptive sons, Gaius and Lucius Caesar, and the positions attributed to them, before the period of time provided by law, on the basis of merit (… he never recommended his sons for office without adding “If they be worthy of it”, Suet. Aug. 56). The aim of this paper is to examine some epigraphic documents showing how the principes iuventutis were celebrated by eastern communities adhering to the dynastic model identified through the political choices of the princeps at a time when Gaius and Lucius’ very young age suggested more caution in appointing them for public honors.
Siècle d’Auguste et âge d’or
Authors: Guittard Charles
Published: March 2018

We find three definitions of the saeculum in the Roman world. The Etruscan Century is based on the lives of the human beings and of the different cities in Etruria. We find an echo of these theories in the Roman divination There are two definitions of the century in Rome, a century of 100 and a century of 110 years. This theory, elaborated by the Quindecemviri sacris faciundis and Ateius Capito, has been taken into consideration to celebrate the Secular Games in 17 AD. In fact, the reign of Augustus has been considered as the return of the Golden Age in Italy and in the Roman world, with the end of the civil wars. In Vergil’s poetry, we find a historical conception of the Hesiodic Golden Age. Announced in the fourth Eclogue, the Golden age is localized in the Latium (Georgica) under the power of Augustus (Aeneid).
Augustusbild im rhetorischen Werk von Seneca Rhetor
Authors: Petrovićová Katarina
Published: March 2018

In this study, I analyze the literary picture of the emperor Augustus as it is depicted in the rhetorical works of Seneca the Elder. Based on both direct and indirect references in Seneca’s collection of the examples of rhetorical tools published under the heading Oratorum et rhetorum sententiae, divisiones, colores, which is better known as Controversiae and Suasoriae, I call into question the usually accepted idea that Seneca admired Augustus for his respect for freedom of speech.

Augustus is mostly (6 out of 9 times) mentioned in a private or a schooling environment which is reflected in the stylized and idealized portrait of a learned, brisk, and witty, but also of a very perceptive man, who can fairly be described as “a master of bon mot and a man with a big heart”. Four times he is, in these anecdotes, but out of the anecdotic frame, referred to as a publicly active man. Although Augustus as princeps makes the impression of a noble, clement, and admirable man, the tension and fear his power arouses in orators starts to penetrate his idealized depiction. In the remaining references, he is inadvertently and furtively criticized. The criticism concerns the individuals close to Augustus who assist him in performing his duties, especially their low origin, as these were often freedmen and other careerists of low social rank. Another issue, for which Augustus is criticized, are the unforgettable injustices committed during the Second Triumvirate. Seneca’s indirect commentaries concerning this matter are very exasperated and wrathful, which suggests that he perceived Augustus’ time as the period of the loss of democracy and endangered law. These prove that Seneca the Elder coped with the new situation only unwillingly and with difficulties. The pessimism present in his works is not a common place, but a reflection of the real situation Romans had to face.
Auguste chez deux auteurs de l’Antiquite tardive, Ausone et Macrobe
Authors: Wolff Étienne
Published: March 2018

Ausonius and Macrobius reflect both the positive image enjoyed by Augustus in the fourth century. They also illustrate the importance of Suetonius in Late Antiquity. The manner in which Ausone shows Augustus is not original. On the other hand Macrobius’Augustus, who is neither affected nor hieratic and supports mockery, implicitly contrasts by his conduct to the solemnity of the ceremony surrounding the emperors of the Lower Empire.
Das bild des inmanissimus mons in Augustins Frühschrift De beata vita
Authors: Milusheva Iglika
Published: March 2018

In 386, shortly after his conversion, Augustine gave up his post as professor of rhetoric at Milan to devote himself, together with a group of relatives, friends and students, to the otium philosophandi in Cassiciacum. There, together with his familia, he deals with questions of classical philosophy. The discussions that Augustine led at this time formed the basis for the Dialogues of Cassiciacum Contra Academicos, De beata vita, and De ordine, which had just taken place thereafter.

In the introduction of De beata vita, which is dedicated to Theodorus, Augustine compares the human life with a stormy sea. The salvation of man is the port of philosophy, from where one reaches the mainland of the beata vita. The metaphor is very detailed. A central spot in the entire picture is dominated by the inmanissimus mons, which is located in front of the harbor and presents a great danger to sailors.

There is no clear interpretation of this passage in the secondary literature. The aim of the present text is to propose in parallel reading of two passages from Confessiones with De beata vita to explain the image of the huge mountain as a metaphor for Neoplatonism.
Gli avvenimenti storici come rivelazione L’incipit della Legatio ad Caium di filone di Alessandria
Authors: Mazzanti Angela Maria
Published: March 2018

In the incipit of Legatio ad Caium of Philo of Alexandria anthropological and theological concepts are expressed which do not appear immediately relevant to the story: the narration of dramatic historical circumstances which the author personally lived through. The analysis of the specific contents reveals the connection betwen fundamental religious and cultural themes which are reoccurring themes in the various works of Philo. The introduction does not place ideology a priori but his considerations are evidence of a method of judgement of historical events.
Ἐμφιλοσοφεῖν τῷ πάθει la raison d’être de la souffrance du corps dans l’épistolographie de Saint Grégoire de Nazianze
Authors: Pataki Elvira
Published: March 2018

The paper will consider the notion of body and pain in the rich epistolary work of Gregory of Nazianzus. The idea of a suffering body plays a decisive role not only in his anthropology but as well as in his ethics: being ill is seen as a particular predisposition to contemplation and making philosophy. The concept of body and pain seems to be influenced by the personality of the addressee and by the experiences of physical pathos (corporal deficiency and weakness) of Gregory himself, who wants to develop a strategy for acquiring virtue by suffering. The lecture will analyse why the body can be considered at the same time as the tool and the obstacle of the philosophical lifestyle, how does it function in the making of philia and in the works of askesis. Finally it will be argued how a certain philanthropic attitude seems to make a counterpoint to the excessive annihilation of the body never practised or approved by Gregory.
Die Bedeutung des Wortes ma‛nā in der christlich-arabischen literatur

Published: March 2018

Until now thee Nestorian theology has been known in Greek, only from indirect hostile, sources. In the Arabic literature, however, there are known works that deal the Nestonian theology in its entirety and, in addition, in Nestorian spirit. The examination of the often occurring term maˁanā in Arabic Nestorian texts indicates that these Arabic texts are based on a thorough knowledge of Aristotle’s philosophy, so this term must be taken in various passages in various meanings, but its most important equivalent is ousia.
Necdum orbem medium: Night in the Aeneid
Authors: Fratantuono Lee
Published: March 2018

The appearances of the goddess Night in Virgil’s Aeneid can be profitably studied as a cipher to appreciating better certain key elements of the poet’s epic presentation of Troy’s fall and the rise of the future Rome. Detailed consideration of every epiphany of the goddess in the poem offers insight into Virgil’s rationale for how he presents the ultimate resolution of the conflict in Latium and the quelling of Juno’s rage against the Trojans.
Plutarch, Moralia 505c: Some notes on the discovery of the Pisonian conspiracy
Authors: Habaj Michal
Published: March 2018

Although it is primarily through Tacitus’ narration of the event that we are able to reconstruct the Pisonian conspiracy, the particular details of the plot can be partially completed from other sources of information. In that regard, relatively little time has been devoted to Plutarch’s account — found in his essay De garrulitate — of the discovery of the Pisonian plot. The account to some extent poses a problem, as it does not explicitly specify which conspiracy it refers to. In addition, the account is in the form of a moral essay; most importantly, it proffers a version of the events of AD 65 (when the plot was disclosed) that is totally different from that of Tacitus. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is at least partially to incorporate Plutarch’s report into the whole, rather foggy portrayal of the Pisonian conspiracy, and simultaneously to point to the fact that Plutarch’s report may not be an alternative to Tacitus’ one, but rather a complement of it. The author strives to evaluate the various literary and historical elements of the report, as well as its possible sources, and following the knowledge obtained, to assess its informative value within the broader context of the entire conspiracy.
The didactic strategy in germanicus’ translation of aratus’ phaenomena
Authors: Tereza Ševčíková
Published: March 2018

Germanicus Iulius Caesar translated Aratus’ Phaenomena when the Roman interest in astronomy and astrology was on the rise. The Romans, including the imperator, were amazed by the fact that with the knowledge of the motion of celestial objects one can predict the future. And people wanted to learn more about the stars and the constellations. Did Germanicus’ work perform the task of teaching its readers about the heavens? Did he manage to play his role as a teacher? Did he only translate the information contained in Aratus’ text, or did he transfer even the didactic aspect of the poem? And how did he try to make the lecture more interesting? Did he make an attempt to interact with the reader? In this paper, Germanicus’ text will be examined focusing on his didactic strategy. The core of the paper is the analysis of manners used by Germanicus to meet characteristic constituent features of the genre of didactic poetry, which will be briefly introduced in the beginning.
Between amateur astrology and erudite gimmick: A re-examination of trimalchio’s horoscope (petr. sat. 39)
Authors: Oliver Schwazer
Published: March 2018

I will present a new interpretation of Trimalchio’s “learned” horoscope at Petr. Sat. 39. The aim is to point out that Trimalchio neither entirely comes out as amateur astrologer nor is his horoscope fully based on astrological treatises of his times. On the contrary, Trimalchio undertakes a widely unlearned methodological approach, recycles however astrological material and mixes this up with erudite puns at the internal recipients (the scholastici Agamemnon, Encolpius and co. who attend the dinner, yet fail to be worthy their profession).
In the end there was the beginning: Pagan cosmogonies in the age of Justinian
Authors: Hâncu Mihail-George
Published: March 2018

The conflict between the pagans and the Christian authorities of the Eastern Roman Empire has given birth to numerous polemical discussions among modern commentators, which is due to the fact that our sources on the subject were often biased. The closing of the Neo-Platonic Academy in Athens in 529 has nevertheless been cited as the end of pagan philosophy, even though its last leader, Damascius, would continue his philosophical activity around the Persian border. My paper deals with the persistent reception of one subject that was at odds with the Christian dogma, the cosmogony.

Damascius is also known for his De principiis, a lengthy treaty about the One and the Ineffable that precedes it. Although the work itself is first and foremost an answer to previous Neoplatonists, it is also an extremely valuable source for other lost Pre-Socratic cosmogonies, namely the Orphic ones, which are interpreted alongside other non-Greek creation myths in the final pages of the treatise.

On the other hand, John Lydus provides an intriguing adaptation of such creation myths in De magistratibus reipublicae Romanae, where he combines Platonic and Aristotelian ideas in order to build an explanatory model for the contemporary decline in offices of state. His choice of sources shows, however, that he was likely a pagan himself and that he had professed the official religion in order to avoid persecution. Thus, he bases his argumentation on a pagan cosmogony as a form of resistance against recent changes in Byzantine bureaucracy.
Constructing, deconstructing and understanding: The early Christian corpora and the Latin dialectology
Authors: Gaspar Catarina
Published: March 2018

The aim of this paper is to bring into discussion some data concerning early Christian inscriptions from the Iberian Peninsula on the differentiation of Vulgar Latin, focusing on the several methods and procedures of collecting data (in corpora and databases), and the interpretation as regards Latin dialectology. The low number of specific dialectal traits in early Christian funerary epigraphy contrasts with specific local features that can be found when we put the epigraphic texts into their social and cultural context. We may conclude that Latin dialectal evidence in Late Antiquity should be evaluated according to its context. We can understand both common and specific traits of the written language from this perspective.
Az Akadémia székházához felhasznált kőzetek
Authors: Burján Balázs , Török Ákos
Published: March 2018

A cikk a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Széchenyi István téri székháza ünnepélyes átadásának másfélszáz éves évfordulója alkalmából bemutatja a várostörténeti szempontból is kiemelkedő jelentőségű középület építése során alkalmazott kőanyagokat. Levéltári források és kordokumentumok alapján ismerteti az építkezés legfontosabb eseményeit, az építő- és díszítőkövek beszerzésének, felhasználásának körülményeit, az ehhez kapcsolódó költségeket, majd ezt követően a kőzetek típusait, származási helyét veszi sorra. A székház kőzeteinek kiválasztása a neoreneszánsz ízlés- és formavilágát tükrözi: az épület homlokzata uralkodóan Budapest környéki porózus mészkövekből, forrásvízi mészkőből, lábazata pedig gerecsei vörös mészkőből áll, belsejében a Habsburg Monarchia területéről származó csiszolható mészkövek és márványok láthatók.
Függesztett gerendacsalád szabadrezgése I.
Authors: Geleji Borbála , Németh Róbert Károly
Published: March 2018

Cikkünkben egy újfajta szerkezeti megoldás, a kötéllel történő csigasoros felfüggesztés szabadrezgésre gyakorolt hatását vizsgáljuk meg egy hajlított gerendacsalád esetén. A gerendacsalád minden tagja szimmetrikus kéttámaszú tartó, amit egy csigasoron átvezetett, végtelen merevnek és elhanyagolható tömegűnek tekintett kötél is megtámaszt a szimmetrikusan elhelyezkedő felfüggesztési pontokban. A felfüggesztés csigáinak tehetetlenségi nyomatékát és a súrlódást elhanyagoljuk. A függesztőkötél kétféle állapota a szerkezet viselkedését általános esetben nemlineárissá teszi, de még ilyenkor is vizsgálható szakaszonként lineáris szerkezetként. A függesztőkötél megfeszített állapotához tartozó sajátkörfrekvenciák és rezgésalakok ismerete lehetővé teszi a modálanalízis alkalmazását a szerkezet rezgésének számítása során. A rezgésalakokat és a sajátfrekvenciákat a frekvenciaparaméter és egy, a felfüggesztési pontok helyzetét meghatározó paraméter függvényében állítjuk elő. Ehhez a paraméterek segítségével írjuk fel a folytonossági és peremfeltételeket kifejező frekvenciamátrixot. A frekvenciamátrix determinánsának zérushelyeit keresve bemutatjuk, hogyan vezethető vissza a determináns számítása egy kisebb méretű mátrix determinánsának számítására. E kisebb méretű mátrix determinánsa ugyanazokra a frekvenciaparaméterekre ad zérust, mint a frekvenciamátrix determinánsa.
A Rimanóczy építészdinasztia története (I. rész)
Authors: Rimanóczy Jenő , Ferkai András
Published: March 2018

A többgenerációs építészdinasztiák közül is kiemelkedik a Rimanóczy család, amely a kiegyezéstől a rendszerváltásig négy nemzedéken át járult hozzá kiváló szakemberek munkásságával a magyar építészet történetéhez. Idősebb Rimanóczy Kálmán építőmester és a berlini Műegyetemen végzett építész fia, ifjabb Kálmán Nagyváradon működött abban a 19. század végi és 20. század eleji időszakban, amikor a partiumi város rohamos ütemben modernizálódott, s mindketten jelentős épületekkel járultak hozzá a település gyökeres átalakulásához. Idősebb Kálmán elsőszülött fia, Árpád, aki a katonai pályát választva fordult a mérnöki hivatás felé, Budapesten dolgozott a Honvédség építési osztályán. Legidősebb gyermeke, Gyula vitte tovább a szakmát, s kétségtelenül az ő húszas évektől az ötvenes évekig ívelő életműve számít a családból a legismertebbnek. Két fia, ifjabb Gyula és Jenő választotta az építész hivatást, az ő működésük már szinte teljesen az állami tervezés időszakára esik. Az építészdinasztia történetét Rimanóczy Jenő állította össze a családban megőrzött dokumentumokra, emlékekre és publikációkra alapozva, s adja közre három részben, hogy megvilágítsa a kevésbé ismert részleteket, s alapanyagot nyújtson a régóta esedékes monográfiák megírásához.
Zárt/nyitott – Városforma és térhasználat
Authors: Benkő Melinda
Published: March 2018

A fizikai környezet átalakulását a társadalmi indukálja, a fizikai azonban visszahat és befolyásolja a társadalmit, ezért együttes kutatásuk szükséges. A városépítészet-elmélet kategóriapárjai közül a zárt/nyitott kettősség erre a feladatra kiválóan alkalmas, mert a városformát és a térhasználatot összekapcsolja. A városforma és térhasználat zárt/nyitott mátrixa négy alaptípust, azon belül a fizikai, vizuális és használati határok beemelése hét alcsoportotot eredményez: zárt, transzparens, rejtett, köztes, szigetszerű, kertes és nyitott. A történeti zárt és a modern nyitott formával szemben a kortárs város- és ingatlanfejlesztések a zárt/nyitott hibrid megoldásokat preferálják: nyitott forma zárt használattal, zárt forma felnyíló használattal működik. Az írás felhívja a figyelmet a tértagoló – épített és nem épített – határok megnövekedett jelentőségére, és a térhasználat megértése és alakítása érdekében ezeket bevezeti a hagyományos városforma-kutatások diskurzusába.
The Holistic Athletic Healthcare Model: Addressing the Developmental, Social, and Cultural Needs of Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Barkley Lisa , Taliaferro Lindsay A. , Baker Kayla , Garcia Jeanette
Published: March 2018

Many adolescent and young adult athletes only access the healthcare system through involvement in sports. Yet, many opportunities are missed in the sports medicine environment to provide holistic, quality care for these athletes that assists them in navigating to healthy adults and addresses inequities that impair good health. Since most causes of morbidity and mortality in this age group are related to poor health behaviors, and comprehensive health care services are fragmented, it is imperative that sports medicine healthcare be reimagined to incorporate a social-ecological perspective that holistically addresses the unique medical, social, cultural, and behavioral needs of athletes. We propose a social-ecological perspective that enhances developmental assets as the basis for sports medicine services. This innovative approach - the Holistic Athletic Healthcare Model - involves 1) addressing adolescent developmental needs and the social determinants of health at the individual level, 2) using strength-based approaches and demonstrating cultural competency in health provider relationships, 3) integrating medical care with campus community services, and 4) promoting health equity in  the campus environment. Engagement in sports has many benefits beyond winning in the game, and health is more than being injury-free. Sports medicine practitioners and healthcare systems must be proactive in supporting athletes from all backgrounds to become healthy adults.

What’s in a name? James Burbage and his Playhouse
Authors: Moseley C.W.R.D.
Published: March 2018

The choice of the name ‘The Theatre’ for the new purpose built structure in Shoreditch in 1576 was not an obvious one. This paper will speculate about why it was chosen, and what ideas and values that word would have communicated to its customers. I shall also very briefly glance at what we know of the basic structure of the building, and speculate about why that shape and not another was used. Possible links to early anatomy theatres will be suggested.  How far the ideas contained in the structure and the name might have affected the reception of plays is worth at least some consideration, and I hope one day to develop the ideas of the paper into a fuller study of how early audiences watched as well as heard.
