Teaching Politeness of Using Slang in Speaking: Analysis of Conversations in Tuesdays with Morrie
Authors: Rahmaniah Sovia
Published: September 2018

Slang language is commonly used in American society in their daily life communication. However, teachers are still hesitant to teach slang in their speaking class, because slang language is assumed as impolite language. Most of the teachers don’t realize that even slang language can be used in polite conversation. This paper is intended to show some analysis on some conversations in the movie entitle ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ which are assumed as the representation of social language for American. The focus of the analysis is the use of slang in polite conversations. The analysis will be based on the identification of a communicative event along with three dimensions called field, tenor, and mode. The significance of the study is to clarify teachers’ understanding toward slang language that can be assumed as a politeness, so the teachers will not hesitate to teach slang language to their students in speaking class. Furthermore, through this analysis, the students will know why, when, where, and how to use slang politely in their daily life conversation.

Bank system in Indonesia to adhere dual system, it is conventional bank system which we have known for long time and syariah bank. Syariah bank in term of do its work activity based on syariah principle. A lot of product own by syariah bank because it is to adapt society necessary. One of contract nowadays that we use a lot is contract of sale or usually known with Ijarah Muntahiya Bit Tamlik contract (IMBT). Ijarah Muntahiya Bit Tamlik (IMBT) which means rent and buy is rent agreement that is followed by moving possession right on the things that rent to hirer after rent time over. In IMBT contract still there is clausula that explains about credit creed and change warranty that then held under obligation right. In doing fee contract or agreement between relation and syariah bank it is not close any possibilities refusal agreement happen/wanprestasi by relation. Wanprestasi can give law impact to the one who do it and give the consequence toward appear of right for side which get loss to demand side which do wanprestasi to give compensation.

Sistem perbankan di Indonesia menganut dual system, yakni sistem perbankan konvensional yang telah terlebih dahulu kita kenal dan perbankan syariah. Perbankan Syariah dalam menjalankan kegiatan usahanya berdasarkan prinsip syariah. Banyak sekali produk yang dimiliki oleh perbankan syariah dikarenakan untuk menyesesuaikan kebutuhan masyarakat. Salah satu dari akad yang saat ini banyak sekali digunakan adalah akad sewa beli atau biasa disebut dengan akad Ijarah Muntahiya Bit Tamlik (IMBT). Ijarah Muntahiya Bit Tamlik (IMBT) yang berarti sewa beli yaitu perjanjian sewa menyewa yang disertai dengan opsi pemindahan hak milik atas benda yang disewa kepada penyewa setelah masa sewa berakhir. Dalam akad IMBT masih ada klausula yang menerangkan tentang pengakuan utang dan penyerahan agunan/jaminan yang kemudian diikat dengan Hak Tanggungan. Dalam pelaksanaan akad pembiayaan atau perjanjian antara nasabah dengan Bank Syariah tidak menutup kemungkinan terjadinya pengingkaran perjanjian/wanprestasi oleh nasabah. Wanprestasi dapat memberikan akibat hukum kepada pihak yang melakukannya dan membawa konsekuensi terhadap timbulnya hak bagi pihak yang dirugikan untuk menuntut pihak yang melakukan wanprestasi untuk memberikan ganti rugi.

Bankruptcy has effect for all creditors, labor is no exception. settlement of property the debtor to the creditor in the event of the debtor is declared bankrupt will depend largely on the position of the creditors. The position of labor creditor’s preferred placed as having special privileges, which will get the first in bankruptcy. However, the property the debtor in bankruptcy is sometimes not enough to pay off all his debts bills including salaries and severance to labor as a preferred creditor. Therefore the author will examine these issues by formulating two problems namely: How the completion of labor rights in the process of bankruptcy according to law No. 13 of 2003 On Labor and How do the views of Islamic law on the settlement of the labor rights in the process of bankruptcy. The conclusions is in compliance because Islamic law already gives privileges in the fulfillment of their rights. but still need to revise several sections to make the provisions of the law in the Undangg more robust in protecting labor rights in the process of bankruptcy and the Government should establish a policy to provide concrete guarantees and protection of the rights of labour or labour in the event of bankruptcy.

Kepailitan berlaku bagi semua kreditur, tenaga kerja tidak terkecuali. penyelesaian harta benda debitur kepada kreditur dalam hal debitur dinyatakan pailit akan sangat tergantung pada posisi kreditor. Posisi kreditur tenaga kerja harus ditempatkan sebagai kreditur yang memiliki hak istimewa, yang akan di utamakan dalam kepailitan. Namun, aset debitur dalam kepailitan terkadang tidak cukup untuk melunasi seluruh tagihan hutangnya termasuk gaji dan pesangon terhadap tenaga kerja sebagai kreditur pilihan. Oleh karena itu penulis akan meneliti masalah ini dengan merumuskan dua masalah yaitu: Bagaimana penyelesaian hak-hak buruh dalam proses kepailitan menurut undang-undang No. 13 tahun 2003 Tentang Ketenagakerjaan dan Bagaimana pandangan hukum Islam tentang penyelesaian hak-hak buruh di proses kepailitan menurut UU No. 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini dalam undang-undang umum No. 13 tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan sudah sesuai karena hukum Islam telah memberikan hak istimewa dalam pemenuhan hak-hak mereka. Namun masih perlu merevisi beberapa bagian untuk membuat ketentuan undang-undang di Undangg lebih kuat dalam melindungi hak-hak buruh dalam proses kepailitan dan Pemerintah harus menetapkan kebijakan untuk memberikan jaminan dan perlindungan konkret hak-hak buruh atau tenaga kerja di bidang peristiwa kepailitan.

Islam figures and chief of tribal in Nagari Gunung Medan consider mampaduoi system is in accordance with Islamic sharia as what has been determined by Jumhur Ulama regarding mukhabarah agreement. However, based on the act Number 2 Year 1960, the system is not appropriate because it is not legally written.
PELANGGARAN KEWAJIBAN PENDAFTARAN SERTIFIKAT HALAL: Dapatkah Dibuat Sanksi?
Authors: Nasyi’ah Iffaty
Published: September 2018

The number of businessmen who have not yet registered for halal certificate grabs government’s attention. This is reflected in the Article 4 about Halal Product Warranty (Jaminan Produk Halal/JPH). The infraction against that article has no juridical implication, either administratively or criminally. The inconsistency of this article encourages researcher to seek for answers on two issues: can the infraction of article 4 be judged? Which kind of sanction is appropriate as the juridical consequence of the aforementioned article? The article is a normative research and uses legislation and conceptual approaches. Using the individual-liberalistic and strafrecht’s ordenings theories, the researcher assumes that infraction against Article 4 of JPH Law is still possible. The reason is that this article does not have a particular status of infraction; either it is civil, administrative, or criminal. This JPH law should be revised by adding strict sanctions, in both, the article itself and the chapter on criminal provision. Criminal sanctions that can be given are confinement and/or fine payment.

Injections of sows with pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) prior to mating have been shown to improve endogenous secretions of pregnant hormones that improve and optimize the uterine environment and condition during pregnancy that eventually lead to give birth to superior piglets. This experiment was designed to study the effects of PMSG and hCG injections of sows prior to mating on prenatal growth as indicated by the conditions of the the neonate piglets. Thirty mature female Landrace pigs were divided into 2 groups i.e., 15 pigs were injected with PMSG and hCG prior to mating, and the other 15 pigs were injected with physiological NaCl solution as a control. Before mating, the estrus cycles of the experimental sows were synchronized by injecting prostaglandin two times with 14 days interval. The experimental pigs were injected with PMSG and hCG or 0.90% NaCl solution at the same time with the second prostaglandin injection and were further mated naturally. During pregnancy, the experimental sows were maintained with the normal management condition. The results showed that piglest born to sows injected with PMSG and hCG prior to mating had shorter and faster birth process with higher activities and survivals as compared to those born to control sows. Piglets born by sow that were injected with PMSG and hCG before mating had a more optimum birth weight accompanied by greater body length, limb height, and higher rear limb height. Piglest born to by sows that were injected with PMSG and hCG prior to mating showed superior conditions that would contribute to optimum and superior preweaning and postweaning growths until maturity.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is caused by dengue virus carried by Aides Aigepty mosquitoes. Since 2015 there has been a typical DHF in Payaman Village as 3 people and one of them was died in 2016. One typical of DHF has been an Extraordinary Occurrence in the health sector. One that can trigger dengue disease is the low rate of larvae free. Eradication of DHF can be done with Mosquito Nest eradication activity. In this study aims to analyze the actions of villagers who can trigger dengue disease and actions that can prevent dengue disease. The research method used is descriptive quantitative. Data source used is primary data and secondary data. Primary data was collected by interviewing questionnaires in each house. To support the completeness of the data used qualitative methods by conducting in-depth interviews on various related sectors. Secondary data is taken from Payaman Village Dasawisma data and Village Profile data. The results of the study found that the villagers of Payaman, especially RT 15-22 have acts that can trigger dengue fever, such as the handling of late dengue cases, not drain the water reservoir, poor waste management of households, the management of used less precise and laying the animal cage inside the house. While the actions that can be used to prevent dengue fever is using mosquito nets when sleeping and keep fish in water reservoirs. It needs to be improved by changing actions that can trigger dengue disease into actions that can prevent dengue disease that drains the water reservoir, manages household waste well, manages the used goods in the right way and puts the animal cage outdoors. In addition, dengue fever can be prevented by eradicating mosquito breeding and preventing mosquito bites. Growing mosquito breeding and preventing mosquito bites can be done with 3M plus movement.Keywords: dengue fever, payaman village, citizen action, 3M plus

Authors: Saibi Hakim , Mia Md. Bodruddoza , Bierre Milly
Published: September 2018

Satellite thermal infrared remote sensing is nowadays an important and efficient techniques to explore and monitor the thermal ground around active volcanoes or hot spring regions in the world due to unstable ground, land use restricted as a park and higher cost of ground observations. Landsat 8 OLI-TIR sensors images were used in this study to observe the thermal status of three hot spring areas in UAE for the first time in the year of 2017. We used Landsat 8 TIR band 10 to estimate land surface temperature using mono-window algorithm, Normalised directional vegetation index (NDVI) threshold method for emissivity, Stefan Boltzmann law for radiative heat flux and heat discharge rate using a relationship coefficient. The highest maximum land surface temperature (LST) was obtained about 43 °C, 40 °C and 27 °C, respectively in the area of Ain Faida (AF), Green Mubazzarah (GM) and Ain Khatt (AK) hot spring area. The LST was about 13 °C, 10 °C and 4 °C above ambient on the pixel (30*30 m) average temperature, although the point LST might be higher than these. The landcover shows about 77%, 95% and 87% area of bared or desert land, 21%, 4% and 13% of mixed region, respectively in the study area of GM, AF and AK hot spring. Fully vegetated area was found only in GM area about 5% of total study area. Water bodies were about 1% only in the study areas of GM and AF. The highest radiative heat flux (RHF) obtained about 68 W/m2, 83 W/m2 and 21 W/m2 respectively in the GM, AF and AK spring area in United Arab Emirates (UAE). Total radiative heat losses were estimated about 157 MW, 530 MW and 15 MW respectively in the three hot spring areas. Total Heat discharge rate (HDR) was estimated about 1013 MW, 3423 MW and 94 MW respectively from GM, AF, and AK hot spring area using the relationship coefficient HDR and RHF i.e., 6.49. The study shows that the LST and RHF was increased with decreasing NDVI value i.e., bared or desert shows higher value than vegetated. We can infer from this study that the satellite remote sensing could be used for estimating or monitoring the thermal components of hot springs in UAE and any other part of world in a cost effective and efficient way.

Authors: Khalili A. M. , Soliman Abdel-Hamid , Asaduzzaman Md
Published: September 2018

People localization is a key building block in many applications. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based approach that significantly improves the localization accuracy and reduces the runtime of Wi-Fi based localization systems. Three variants of the deep learning approach are proposed, a sub-task architecture, an end-to-end architecture, and an architecture that incorporates prior knowledge. The performance of the three architectures under different conditions is evaluated and the significant improvement of the three architectures over existing approaches is demonstrated.

Authors: Adeniyi Michael Olaniyi , Aderele Oluwaseun Raphael
Published: September 2018

An SIR (Susceptible – Infected – Removed) mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of the Transfusion –Transmitted Malaria (TTM) model with optimal control pair and was developed and studied in this research work. The model Transfusion –Transmitted Malaria disease – free equilibrium and endemic equilibriums points were determined. The model exhibited two equilibriums; disease-free and endemic equilibrium. It was shown that the disease – free equilibrium was locally asymptotically stable if the associated basic reproduction numbers  is less than unity while the disease persists if  is greater than unity. The global stability of the Transfusion –Transmitted Malaria model at the disease – free equilibrium was established using the comparison method. The optimality system was derived and an optimal control model of blood screening and drug treatment for the Transfusion –Transmitted Malaria model was investigated. Conditions for the optimal control were considered using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle and solved numerically using the Forward and Backward Finite Difference Method (FBDM). Numerical results obtained are in perfect agreement with our analytical results.
Central Targeting of Channelrodopsin2 by Motif of Potassium Channel Kv2.1 Can Be Altered Due to Overexpression of Construct
Authors: Idzhilova Olga , Roshchin Matvey , Smirnova Gulnur , Balaban Pavel , Malyshev Aleksey
Published: September 2018

Subcellular targeting of opsins in optogenetics provides new possibilities for investigating the function of nerve cells. One of the widely used motifs for central targeting of opsins is the motif of potential-dependent potassium channel Kv2.1. We have expressed construct CHR2-Venus-Kv2.1 in the layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of the murine cerebral cortex by means of in utero electroporation. It was found that, although the majority of neurons expressing CHR2-Venus-Kv2.1 demonstrated mainly central localization of fluorescence in the soma, proximal dendrites and axon, there was also significant population of neurons with disruption of the “correct” targeting resulting in the fluorescent protein distributed uniformly throughout the entire cell surface. We have suggested that observed mislocalization was caused by overexpression of the construct. Indeed, a decrease in the plasmid concentration during the in utero electroporation procedure resulted in almost complete absence of neurons with altered targeting. Thus, the possibility of “incorrect” targeting of CHR2 by the potassium channel motif Kv2.1 should be taken into account when using this construct in optogenetic experiments.

Published: September 2018

Considerable attention has been given to the research field of bioorganometallic chemistry, which is a hybrid chemistry field between biology and organometallic chemistry. The introduction of biomolecules, which have hydrogen bonding sites and chiral centers, into organometallic compounds is considered to be a promising strategy to construct chirality-organized bioorganometallic conjugates. This feature paper sketches an outline of induction of helical chirality into bioorganometallic conjugates. Topics covered include control of the helical chirality of 1,n’-disubstituted ferrocene moieties in ferrocene-dipeptide conjugates and the chirality induction of the Au(I)–Au(I) axis in the dinuclear organogold(I)-uracil conjugates.

Authors: Fridayani Helen Dian , Nurmandi Achmad
Published: September 2018

Indonesia is among the countries developing the concept of smart city. The national government envisions Indonesia 2030 which shall implement the smart city towards sustainable development. Many regions in Indonesia have already implemented the concept of smart city, but still on the level of smart government and smart technology, lacking on the smart citizen component of a smart city. This paper aims to analyze the citizens behavior of using technology on Sleman smart citizen 2021 through the lapor sleman mobile application. This research uses mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approaches in examining the data. The authors distributed 100 questionares and conducted interviews to the government which is department of communication and information, Sleman and the several community that ever use the lapor sleman application. The result of the study reveals the following: firstly, performance expectancy, social influence, and behavioral intention are three independent variables which affect the users’ behavior. Secondly, the behavioral intention has the biggest significant effect on users’ behavior. Thirdly, the citizen behavior of using technology has affect the making a smart citizen. Therefore, using technology in term of lapor sleman mobile application can make the citizens as active participants in public life, in terms of social cooperation, freedom of expression and flexibility. However, there are still many problems in the use of lapor sleman mobile application such as the limited access to only android smartphones, lack of technical know-how, and people’s reluctance to use the lapor sleman mobile application.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is relevant mechanism in cardiac aging. Here, we investigated the effects of late-life enalapril administration at non-antihypertensive dose on mitochondrial genomic stability, oxidative damage, and mitochondrial quality control (MQC) signaling in the heart of aged rats. The protein expression of selected mediators (i.e., mitochondrial antioxidant enzymes, energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics, and autophagy) was measured in old rats randomly assigned to receive enalapril (n=8) or placebo (n=8) from 24 to 27 months of age. We also assessed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, citrate synthase activity, oxidative lesions to protein and mtDNA (i.e., carbonyls and abundance of mtDNA4834 deletion), and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) binding to specific mtDNA regions. Enalapril attenuated cardiac hypertrophy and oxidative stress-derived damage (mtDNA oxidation, mtDNA4834 deletion, and protein carbonylation), while increasing mitochondrial antioxidant defenses. TFAM binding to mtDNA regions involved in replication and deletion generation was increased following enalapril administration. Increased mitochondrial mass as well as mitochondriogenesis and autophagy signaling was found in enalapril-treated rats. Late-life enalapril administration mitigates age-dependent cardiac hypertrophy and oxidative damage, while increasing mitochondrial mass and modulating MQC signaling. Further analyses are needed to conclusively establish whether enalapril may offer cardioprotection during aging.

This paper presents the automation of the thin-layer chromatography technique whose separation and identification of molecules present in a mixture are currently done manually and laboriously [1]. We have therefore found an interest in automating this technique. In this part, the method implemented comprises 2 steps. First we proceeded to the segmentation of the spots obtained on the chromatographic plate. We then developed a program to identify families of molecules such as coumarins, terpenes, tannins, flavonoids, polyphenols, etc. by calculating segmentation parameters such as standard deviation, entropy, average pixel intensity from an algorithm on the matlab software. Finally our results have been compared to the results obtained by the traditional identification technique in laboratories. Some similarity between the two results obtained shows the reliability and the robustness of our technique.
Linear or non Linear modeling for ENSO dynamics?
Authors: Bianucci Marco , Capotondi Antonietta , Mannella Riccardo , Merlino Silvia
Published: September 2018

Observed ENSO statistics exhibits a non-gaussian behavior, which is indicative of the presence of nonlinear processes. In this paper we use the Recharge Oscillator model (ROM), a largely used Low-Order Model (LOM) of ENSO, as well as methodologies borrowed from the field of statistical mechanics to identify which aspects of the system may give rise to nonlinearities that are consistent with the observed ENSO statistics. In particular, we are interested in understanding whether the nonlinearities reside in the system dynamics or in the fast atmospheric forcing. Our results indicate that one important dynamical nonlinearity often introduced in the ROM cannot justify a non-gaussian system behavior, while the nonlinearity in the atmospheric forcing can instead produce a statistics similar to the observed. The implications of the non-Gaussian character of ENSO statistics for the frequency of extreme El Nino events is then examined.

Published: September 2018

Self-assembly membranes, composed of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC), were characterized at the total lipid concentration below 20 mM. The sizes of the assemblies varied depending on the molar ratio of DMPC and DHPC (q = [DMPC]/[DHPC]). The small assemblies with diameter of ca. 10 nm were formed at q ≤ 2.0 at 20 ºC (below phase transition temperature of DMPC). The physicochemical membrane properties were then studied using fluorescence probes, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and 6-dodecanoyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-naphthylamine, upon the dilution. DHPC micelle showed a higher membrane fluidity, while the DMPC/DHPC membranes at q ≥ 0.5 showed lower membrane fluidities as well as DMPC vesicle in gel (ordered) phase. Upon dilution, the ordered membrane properties were maintained while the solution turbidities increased, implying the morphological change of the self-assembly, bicelle to the vesicle in gel phase. Based on the obtained results, a phase diagram of DMPC/DHPC binary system (at 20 ºC) is described: (i) the bicelle suspension is transparent and the membrane is in ordered state, (ii) the micelle suspension is transparent and the membrane is in disordered state, (iii) the vesicle suspension is turbid and the membrane is in ordered state.

Authors: Sarno Domenico , Cinquegrana Giuseppe
Published: September 2018

The paper aims to investigate on the determinants of the capital structure of the Italian SMEs and it is based on a large panel of Italian manufacturing SMEs observed in the years 2001-2013. The analysis achieves a comparative investigation between the capital structure of the firms belonging in the Southern region, the so-called Italian Mezzogiorno that is the slow growing area of the country, and the firms of the Center-northern region of Italy, that is the more developed area of the country. Fixed effect panel techniques applied to the several standard leverage models allows to reaffirm some distinctive features showing differences of the financial behavior of regional firms.

Authors: Raghav Alok , Ahmad Jamal , Naseem Imrana
Published: September 2018

Chronic unpredictable environmental stress (CUES) may induce predisposition to diabetes mellitus. This study investigates the role of CUES on impaired homeostasis. Stressed group mice (n = 20) were exposed to CUES for 16 weeks. Weekly body weight, feed consumption, feed efficiency ratio, fasting blood glucose were monitored. Plasma HbA1c, plasma cortisol, plasma epinephrine and plasma insulin, serum lipids, antioxidants and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes activity were assessed along with DNA damage and histopathological examination of liver, kidney, pancreas, spleen and skeletal muscles. Fasting blood glucose levels & HbA1c in the stressed were significantly higher compared to control (p < 0.001). Serum lipids were found insignificantly higher in stressed mice compared to control. Body weights of the stressed mice and feed efficiency ratio were found significant (p < 0.001). Plasma corticosterone, plasma epinephrine, HOMA-IR was found to be significantly higher in the stressed group (p < 0.001). Plasma insulin level was found to be significantly lower in the stressed group (p < 0.001). Significant changes were observed in antioxidants level, carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes activity, peripheral tissues and DNA integrity. CUES initiates pathogenesis of diabetes.

An azaphenothiazine derivative, 6-chloroethylureidoethyldiquino[3,2-b;2’,3’-e][1,4]thiazine (DQT) has recently been shown to exhibit immunosuppressive activities in mouse models. It also inhibited the expression of CXCL10 at the protein level, at non-toxic concentrations, in the culture of KERTr cells treated with double-stranded RNA, poly(I:C). In this report, we demonstrated that DQT inhibits the transcription of the CXCL10 gene. Although CXCL10 is an IFNγ-inducible protein, we found that the CXCL10 protein was induced without the detectable release of IFNγ or IκB degradation. Hence, we concluded that IFNγ or NFκB were not involved in the regulation of the CXCL10 gene in KERTr cells transfected with poly(I:C) as well as in the inhibitory activity of DQT. On the other hand, we found that IFNβ was induced under the same conditions and its expression was inhibited by DQT. Kinetic analysis showed that an increase in IFNβ concentrations occurred 4-8 h after poly(I:C) treatment, while the concentration of CXCL10 was undetectable at that time and started to increase later, when IFNβ reached high levels. Therefore, DQT may be regarded as a new promising inhibitor of IFNβ expression and IFNβ-dependent downstream genes and proteins, e.g., CXCL10 chemokine, which is implicated in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.

Published: September 2018

Hybrid inorganic-polymer nanocomposites can be employed in diverse applications due to the potential combination of desired properties from both the organic and inorganic components. The use of novel bottom-up in situ synthesis methods for the fabrication of these nanocomposites is advantageous compared to top-down ex situ mixing methods, as it offers increased control over the structure and properties of the material. In this review, the focus will be on the application of the sol-gel process for the synthesis of inorganic oxide nanoparticles in epoxy and polysiloxane matrices. The effect of the synthesis conditions and the reactants used on the inorganic structures formed, the interactions between the polymer chains and the inorganic nanoparticles, and the resulting properties of the nanocomposites are appraised from several studies over the last two decades. Lastly, alternative in situ techniques and the applications of various polymer-inorganic oxide nanocomposites are briefly discussed.
Turkic Ethnic Realities in the Medieval Manuscript of Kipchak Origin

Published: September 2018

The purpose of our work was to analyze the ethnic realities of the Kipchak language in order to establish its similarities and differences with modern Turkic languages for which this medieval language was a proto-language. The written medieval manuscript in Arabic “Al-Tuhfa al-Zakiyya fi al-Lugha al-Turkiyyah” (Genuine wonder about the Turkish language) was one of the most important and most valuable source for studying the Kipchak language. The main feature of the work was that the original version was written in the Kipchak, as the anonymous author pointed out on the first page of the manuscript, stored in Istanbul, in the Beyazit state library. When studying objects that were far apart from each other in a temporary sense, such as medieval and modern languages, we used the comparative-historical method, and as a result concluded that in some cases there were only phonetic differences, while the syntactic and semantic commonality of lexical and phraseological units persisted. To classify ethnic realities, the statistical method of analysis was used. Ethnographic, cultural and mental realities testified to direct kinship and a single nomadic culture of the speakers of the languages of this group and provided an opportunity to restore the historical stages of the development of the Turkic languages from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Crime and Punishment in Early-Modern Scotland: The Secular Courts of Restoration Argyllshire, 1660-1688
Authors: Kennedy Allan Douglas
Published: September 2018

The study of crime in early-modern Scotland remains under-developed, some strong local and thematic studies notwithstanding, and Scottish historians have not so far been able properly to assimilate the theoretical and methodological advances pioneered by scholars working on other jurisdictions, particularly England. This article seeks to begin addressing that gap through a detailed micro-study of crime and its punishment in Argyllshire during the Restoration (1660-88), rooted in systematic analysis of surviving court records. The results add weight to the growing historiographical evidence against traditional notions of a stark Highland/Lowland divide in the seventeenth century, while also outlining patterns of secular criminality and criminal justice which could form the basis of further research.
