The identification of geosites as elements of geotourism offer in Kysuce region, Slovakia
Authors: Hronček Pavel , Rybár Pavol , Štrba Ľubomír , Hvizdák Ladislav , Molokáč Mário , Jesenský Miloš
Published: December 2018

The paper analyses the origin and evolution of the Kysuce landscape from the Mesozoic era until the arrival of humans, identifying the relics of these historical evolutionary stages in the present-day landscape. It presents the most important relics from individual evolutionary time horizons as significant elements of geotourism offer. They are systematised and analysed chronologically, thus allowing geotourists to gain a broader picture of the surveyed region, and bringing them into the focus of geotourists as tangible proof that even a landscape that was formed millions of years ago can continue to stimulate our interest. The paper provides information on authenticity and the opportunity for a potential visitor to “touch” the landscapes’ millions-of-years-old relics in the area of the Kysuce region, Slovakia.
Implementation of sustainable mobility in education
Authors: Kušar Simon
Published: December 2018

Avtorji monografije opisujejo različne možnosti za trajnostno mobilnost ter spodbujajo k razmišljanju, kako lahko vsak posameznik na podlagi zbranih primerov prispeva k doseganju razvojnih ciljev na področju trajnostne mobilnosti. Kljub prikazanim primerom dobre prakse in številnim pozitivnim izkušnjam, ki so prepričali vsaj del mladih v uporabo trajnostnih oblik prometa, pa je potrebno prizadevanja za trajnostno mobilnost podkrepiti s celostnimi pristopi, ki pa zahtevajo aktivno vlogo različnih deležnikov. Poleg zgleda staršev je izjemno pomembna tudi ustrezna obravnava trajnostne mobilnosti v šolskih kurikulih v celotni izobraževalni vertikali: od vrtca do univerze. GeograFF 23 je pri tem lahko v veliko pomoč.

Primer uporabe GIS-a v topoklimatski analizi pokrajine za potrebe vinogradništva
Authors: Žiberna Igor
Published: December 2018

Za potrebe analize leg vinogradniških površin in spreminjanja vinogradniških površin med leti 1824 in 1985 smo izdelali preprost GIS za dve sondni območji v Srednjih Slovenskih goricah. GIS je kot osnovno ploskev uporabil mrežo DMR 50 x 50 m. S pomočjo nekaterih topoklimatskih podatkov smo poskušali izdelati karto klimatsko primernih območij za vinsko trto. Prikazane so tudi spremembe vinogradniških površin med leti 1824 in 1985.
Primeri uporabe GIS pri katastru odlagališč odpadkov in ocenjevanju njihove nevarnosti
Authors: Šebenik Igor , Špendl Robert
Published: December 2018

Odlagališča odpadkov so v Sloveniji množičen pojav. Šele v zadnjih letih se jim posveča večja pozornost. Kmalu je postalo jasno, da je dobra evidenca kataster odlagališč podlaga za programe sanacij odlagališč. Sanacije brez ustrezne dokumentacije so pomanjklive, saj se dogaja, da nekatera odlagališča preprosto zginejo, se zasujejo brez vednosti kaj smo zasuli ali s časom o zasuti lokaciji obstajajo le še nasprotujoč si ustna izročila. V taki situaciji je tehnologija GIS več kot dobrodošla za upravljanje s podatki o odlagališčih. Vsekakor je podatkovni sloj odlagališč odpadkov potreben GIS-u za upravljanje s prostorom. Dobro razvita računalniška atributivna baza in grafični prikazi na merilih 1:5000 ali 1:10000 so povsem primerna podlaga za razvoj tega sloja. Na vodovarstvenem območju smo z PC ARC/INFO izdelali testni GIS. Za potrebe MVOUP Republike Slovenije pa se je izdelala aplikacija za povpraševanje po podatkih v GeoSQL. Nadaljna poteza je ekspertni sistem za postopek prioritetizacije nevarnosti odlagališč za okolje na osnovi računalniške baze podatkov v GIS.

Nutrients Dissolution Kinetics of Aerosols at Qianliyan Island, the Yellow Sea by a High Time-resolution Nutrient Dissolution Experiment, Potential Linkages with Inorganic Compositions and P solubility controlled factors
Authors: Zhang Ke , Han Lijun , Liu Sumei , Wang Lingyan
Published: December 2018

Abstract. A series of high time-resolution nutrient dissolution experiments were designed to determine the soluble fraction of atmospheric nutrients and reveal the short-time dissolution processes, patterns and kinetics of nutrient elements in aerosols. Aerosols that represented an important part of atmospheric transport path over the East Asian to West Pacific were leached by Milli-Q water and aged seawater at gradient pHs for certain time duration. Varied nutrient dissolution curves indicated that aerosol inorganic N, P and Si species dissolution reactions were quasi-first-order. Particularly, prominent factors influenced P solubility were source and acidity. Ratios of acid-soluble to water-soluble nutrient concentrations in high time-resolution dissolution experiments and ultra-sound extractions were 1.0 (0.9–1.1) for NH4+ and NO3−, 2.4 (2.1–2.6) for PO43− and 2.5 for SiO32−, demonstrating that inorganic N species were inclined to immediate and complete dissolution due to fine particles formed by gas-particle transformation, inorganic P (Fe-P, Ca-P and De-P) and Si were tended to dissolve more in strong acidity mainly because of coarse soil-derived mineral particles. Compared with the slow dissolution of inorganic P and Si, the rapid dissolution of inorganic N can affect the composition of marine nutrients and marine primary productivity.
Influence of gravity waves on the climatology of high-altitude Martian carbon dioxide ice clouds
Authors: Yiğit Erdal , Medvedev Alexander S. , Hartogh Paul
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Carbon dioxide (CO2) ice clouds have been routinely observed in the
middle atmosphere of Mars. However, there are still uncertainties concerning
physical mechanisms that control their altitude, geographical, and seasonal
distributions. Using the Max Planck Institute Martian General Circulation
Model (MPI-MGCM), incorporating a state-of-the-art whole atmosphere
subgrid-scale gravity wave parameterization (Yiğit et al., 2008), we
demonstrate that internal gravity waves generated by lower atmospheric
weather processes have a wide-reaching impact on the Martian climate.
Globally, GWs cool the upper atmosphere of Mars by ∼10 % and
facilitate high-altitude CO2 ice cloud formation. CO2 ice
cloud seasonal variations in the mesosphere and the mesopause region
appreciably coincide with the spatio-temporal variations of GW effects,
providing insight into the observed distribution of clouds. Our results
suggest that GW propagation and dissipation constitute a necessary physical
mechanism for CO2 ice cloud formation in the Martian upper atmosphere
during all seasons.
Lower boundary conditions in Land Surface Models. Effects on the permafrost and the carbon pools
Authors: Hermoso de Mendoza Ignacio , Beltrami Hugo , MacDougall Andrew H. , Mareschal Jean-Claude
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Earth System Models (ESMs) use bottom boundaries for their land surface model components which are shallower than the depth reached by surface temperature changes in the centennial time scale associated with recent climate change. Shallow bottom boundaries reflect energy to the surface, which along with the lack of geothermal heat flux in current land surface models, alter the surface energy balance and therefore affect some feedback processes between the ground surface and the atmosphere, such as permafrost and soil carbon stability. To evaluate these impacts, we modified the subsurface model in the Community Land Model version 4.5 (CLM4.5) by setting a non-zero crustal heat flux bottom boundary condition and by increasing the depth of the lower boundary by 300 m. The modified and original land models were run during the period 1901–2005 under the historical forcing and between 2005–2300 under two future scenarios of moderate (RCP 4.5) and high (RCP 8.5) emissions. Increasing the thickness of the subsurface by 300 m increases the heat stored in the subsurface by 72 ZJ (1 ZJ = 1021 J) by year 2300 for the RCP 4.5 scenario and 201 ZJ for the RCP 8.5 scenario (respective increases of 260 % and 217 % relative to the shallow model), reduces the loss of near-surface permafrost between 1901 and 2300 by 1.6 %–1.9 %, and reduces the loss of soil carbon by 1.6 %–3.6 %. Each increase of 0.02 W m−2 of the crustal heat flux increases the temperature at the soil-bedrock frontier by 0.4 ± 0.01 K, which decreases near-surface permafrost area slightly (0.3–0.8 %), but reduces the loss of soil carbon by as much as 1.1 %–5.6 % for the two scenarios.

Dynamic Capabilities: Do They Really Matter in Strategy Implementation? Evidence from Small and Medium Manufacturing Firms in Kenya
Authors: Kihara Peter
Published: December 2018

Scholars believe that implementation of a strong strategy is a panacea to superior business firm’s performance. Thisstudy tested the influence of five dynamic capability drivers on the performance of manufacturing firms. TheDynamic Capability’s View of the firm provided a useful framework where these drivers were analyzed using asample of 115 firms. Results from four drivers confirm that dynamic capabilities positively influences firm’sperformance. These drivers are technology, human resource, leadership style and structure. Strategic direction onlyinfluences other drivers but not performance. When all the drivers are combined, only structure and technologymatters in influencing firm’s performance. This study recommends use of strong dynamic capabilities to drive thestrategy implementation efforts to success.
Eavesdropping in the Iranian Criminal Justice System

Published: December 2018

That the individual shall have full protection in person is a principle as old as the human beings life, but it has beenfound necessary from time to time to define anew the exact nature and extent of such protection. As civilizationadvanced, an individual’s feelings and intellect, as well as his physical being, came within the scope of the legal“right to be let alone.”Iranian Constitution has guaranteed individual’s rights and freedom and has explicitly referred to forbiddance ofeavesdropping and interception of conversations in its article 25. Article 582 of Penal Code ratified in 1996 hascriminalized eavesdropping by the governmental officials. Article 104 of Criminal Procedure Code, which wasabolished in 2014, referred to eavesdropping under the judge’s order. Article 150 of new criminal procedure coderatified in 2014, and came into force in October 2014, has provided adequate safeguards to protect the individual’srights.
Curbing Post Harvest Losses for Food Security: A Survey of Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopia
Authors: Agunga Robert , Sleshi Ruth
Published: December 2018

Reducing post harvest losses (PHL) offers great promise for curbing hunger and reducing food insecurity in Africa.A World Bank 2011 report on Missing Food estimated that if African farmers can reduce PHL by even one percentthat will be an annual savings of US$40 million for Sub-Saharan Africa alone. Our survey of 88 smallholderfarmers in the Gondar Region of Ethiopia found that farmers faced serious to most serious losses caused by rodents,birds and the weather. About 46% of the respondents, expressed serious problems with rodents; 54% had seriousproblems with birds and even higher numbers, 55% and 63% had serious problems with the weather and pests,respectively. Another 28.4% of the farmers complained of very serious problems with birds while half of them hadvery serious problems with rodents. Many of the PHL problems seem to emanate from poor storage. The Universityof Purdue, USA, has invented what it calls the “Purdue Improved Crop Storage Bag,” which is advertised as highlyefficient and relatively inexpensive. We urge agricultural extension systems in Africa to test the effectiveness of thisbag before recommending it to their grain farmers as a means of reducing PHL.

The Intercultural Competence in Colombian University Teachers - Analysis of a Questionnaire
Authors: Rojas- Barreto Lisseth S.
Published: December 2018

The promotion of Intercultural Competence (IC) in English Teaching has been an area of extensive study and advocacy at a global level; however, in the Colombian context, this initiative is in its first stages. This article reports results from a first phase of a mixed research study carried out within the framework of the Doctorate in Education at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, which aims to explore and identify the intercultural profile of a group of English professors working at eight public universities in Colombia.

In the first stage, a quantitative survey study was developed, based on the results of a questionnaire that was answered anonymously and voluntarily by 70 English teachers. After examining the questionnaire, one of the most interesting results was the significant difference between the beliefs of professors with and without postgraduate studies. This mirrors the fact that a high number of these educators understand promotion of intercultural competence merely as content transmission, ignoring the development of skills and attitudes. Whatsmore, it is evident that a large percentage of these professors filter cultural topics for the class and approach them in a personal and anecdotal way. On the other hand, there is a marked concern amongst the population about the need for promoting cultural relativism in students, both in order to recognize their own identity and accept otherness.
SPOT DETECTION METHODS IN FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY IMAGING: A REVIEW
Authors: Mabaso Matsilele Aubrey , Withey Daniel James , Twala Bhekisipho
Published: December 2018

Fluorescence microscopy imaging has become one of the essential tools used by biologists to visualize and study intracellular particles within a cell. Studying these particles is a long-term research effort in the field of microscopy image analysis, consisting of discovering the relationship between the dynamics of particles and their functions. However, biologists are faced with challenges such as the counting and tracking of these intracellular particles. To overcome the issues faced by biologists, tools which can extract the location and motion of these particles are essential. One of the most important steps in these analyses is to accurately detect particle positions in an image, termed spot detection. The detection of spots in microscopy imaging is seen as a critical step for further quantitative analysis. However, the evaluation of these microscopic images is mainly conducted manually, with automated methods becoming popular. This work presents some advances in fluorescence microscopy image analysis, focusing on the detection methods needed for quantifying the location of these spots. We review several existing detection methods in microscopy imaging, along with existing synthetic benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics.
NEW BACTERIA FORAGING AND PARTICLE SWARM HYBRID ALGORITHM FOR MEDICAL IMAGE COMPRESSION
Authors: Kumari G Vimala , Sasibhushana Rao G , Prabhakara Rao B
Published: December 2018

For perfect diagnosis of brain tumour, it is necessary to identify tumour affected regions in the brain in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images effectively and compression of these images for transmission over a communication channel at high speed with better visual quality to the experts. An attempt has been made in this paper for identifying tumour regions with optimal thresholds which are optimized with the proposed Hybrid Bacteria Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) named (HBFOA-PSO) by maximizing the Renyi’s entropy and Kapur’s entropy. BFOA may be trapped into local optimal problem and delay in execution time (convergence time) because of random chemo taxis steps in the procedure of algorithm and to get global solution, a theory of swarming is commenced in the structure of HBFOA-PSO. Effectiveness of this HBFOA-PSO is evaluated on six different MRI images of brain with tumours and proved to be better in Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE) and Fitness Function.
Usłyszeć animację. Próba audiowizualnej analizy filmów „Dom” i „Labirynt”

The article consists of audio-visual analysis of the two Polish School of Animation's classics: House by Jan Lenica and Walerian Borowczyk, and Labirynth by Jan Lenica with experimental score made by Włodzimierz Kotoński. The author's main thesis is that the soundtrack generally (including two soundtracks in the above-mentioned films), especially in animations that have no dialogues or subtitles, has crucial impact on the perception of a given animation, and could also be a key to its interpretation.
Movie as self-portrait. Auto-narration and narrative identity in Neil Jordan’s „Breakfast on Pluto”
Authors: Twardoch-Raś Ewelina
Published: December 2018

The paper aims to analyze Neil Jordan’s famous movie Breakfast on Pluto in the context of affective “narrative identity.” Breakfast on Pluto is an adaptation of Patrick McCabe’s diary and presents the story of a man who wants to be a woman – he feels like a woman and gradually transforms into one. Patrick/Patricia is thus a transsexual (not only transgender) person who tells the story of a bodily metamorphosis. The author of the paper finds the process of storytelling extremely interesting for a number of reasons. In the paper, the author focuses especially on the process of creating a new identity for the protagonist through the movie’s narration in reference to the categories of “subjective narration” (Edward Branigan) and narrative identity, that is the creation of an identity in the process of telling one’s own story. The author shows how the tools of the movie can shape the process of storytelling (by using special frames, montage, etc.) and how three stories are incorporated in Jordan’s movie: the male and the female story as well as, finally, the subversive self-creation when Patrick/Patricia becomes one whole, one processual identity (in the context of Judith Butler’s assumption about gender). In the paper, the diegesis of the movie will also be analyzed: a number of objects – attributes of masculinity and femininity and the quasi-parodic character of the movie space and the process of storytelling. Parody in Breakfast on Pluto emphasizes the subversive and surfictional structure of the self-story in the movie. The author treats Breakfast on Pluto as a movie version of Entwicklungsroman – the process of narrativization of an identity in transition, of fictionalizing the real life of the protagonist. Therefore, the author also refers to J. M. Coetzee’s assumptions about confession, which is always an important part of self-narration.

LANDSLIDES AND THE INCORRECT INTERPRETATION OF GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE – EXAMPLES FROM THE SUDETY MOUNTAINS
Authors: KOWALSKI Aleksander
Published: December 2018

Despite the relatively large number of individual landslides recognized and described over the last several years from the Sudety (Sudetes) Mountains (Lower Silesia, SW Poland), most of the papers focused on the geomorphological characterisation of these forms. This paper presents the results of geological and geomorphological mapping of individual landslides, recognized within three geological units: the Wleń Graben (Northsudetic Synclinorium), the Łączna Elevation (Intrasudetic Synclinorium) and the Glinno Graben (Sowie Mountains Block). Particular attention has been paid to the role of the geological structure in the initiation and development of mass movements as well as the degree of transformation of the planar, structural elements (bedding planes, joints, faults) of the landslide bedrock. The results of geological mapping and geomorphometric analysis with a basis in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) show that the structural measurements carried out in the past within previously unrecognized landslides were probably the main reason for incorrect interpretations of the geology of the areas investigated.

Authors: Repin Vitali
Published: December 2018

The position of religion in Czech schools has been the subject of discussion among educationalists since the second half of the nineteenth century. Supporters of the radical current excluded religion from school completely, while conservatives defended the existing situation just as determinedly. Advocates of the reform tendency took the view that religion, as an essential component of modern culture, cannot and must not be ignored in school and that schools must not cut themselves off from centuries-old traditions.

Os processos criativos teatrais ocorreram na tentativa de problematizar a tensão existente entre os elementos do real e da ficção, que perpassam a cena contemporânea atual. Discute-se os conceitos de teatro ambiental e teatro de invasão, a partir dos estudos dos autores Richard Schechner e André Carreira. Estes procedimentos fizeram parte de minha dissertação de mestrado no Programa de Mestrado Profissional em Artes da UDESC. As propostas de investigação foram realizadas por crianças e adolescentes em 2015 e concluídas no ano 2016. Este artigo traz como sujeitos as/os alunas/os do grupo mencionado, e a comunidade escolar que, por meio de entrevistas e depoimentos, ocupam um lugar de fala e apontam para a relevância do trabalho de investigação teatral realizado na escola pública.

Published: December 2018

Este artigo apresenta um relato do resultado de uma prática pedagógica de ensino do teatro, com ênfase na recepção de espetáculos no contexto escolar, desenvolvida em decorrência de pesquisa acadêmica no Mestrado Profissional em Artes. A aplicação da pesquisa aconteceu em 2015, com alunos de ensino médio do Instituto Estadual de Educação, na cidade de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. O experimento consistiu na recepção de 1 (um) espetáculo teatral com alunos espectadores da instituição, sendo que com um grupo de alunos foram desenvolvidos procedimentos extra espetaculares para formação de espectadores, enquanto os demais grupos somente tiveram proporcionada a fruição do espetáculo teatral. A pesqui- sa buscou trazer alternativas de abordagem da recepção teatral na escola para fomentar a formação de espectadores teatrais. A proposta pedagógica buscou relacionar dois tipos de experimentos: Formação de Espectadores e Formação de Público, de forma a verificar se os procedimentos extraes- petaculares adotados no experimento de formação de espectadores con- tribuem para apurar a recepção dos alunos espectadores sobre os espetácu- los, fomentando o prazer pela experiência estética.

Authors:   Universidade de Brasília-DF, Siqueira Liubliana Moreira
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo aborda as relações entre o ato de brincar e a experiência criativa dando destaque a brincadeira como fonte de experiência estética no processo de criação, segundo as concepções de autores como Isabel Marques, Paulo Freire, Tizuko M. kishimoto, Winnicott . Descrevo aqui, o processo metodológico da pesquisa de caráter qualitativo realizada no período 2014 a 2015, com o Grupo de Banda Percussiva Meninos do São João, da cidade de Palmas-To. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar e registrar quais sentidos o “corpo” assume durante a experiência artística e estética vivenciada para a criação do Espetáculo “DuCampo”, a partir da brincadeira como tema gerador. Os resultados obtidos trazem as falas dos alunos e professores, levantadas nas rodas de conversa, e revelam as diversas significações assumidas pelo corpo na criação do espetáculo passando de corpo-instrumento de experiência para “corpo-expressivo”, “corpo-sensível”, “corpo-ação”, “corpo-brinca”.
TEXTO ENCARNADO: A escrita a partir do corpo
Authors:   IARTE - PPGAC da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia., Magalhães Diana Alves de Souza
Published: December 2018

Esse artigo apresenta a trajetória de uma pesquisa corporal e prática, que, tem como objeto o circo, ao corpo do texto de minha dissertação do mestrado. Um caminho do subjetivo ao objetivo. Utilizo como ponte para essas duas esferas o antipodismo, uma técnica milenar do circo, nascida na China, onde se realiza malabarismo com os pés utilizando variados objetos, como a sombrinha chinesa. Quais textos que nascem a partir da prática corporal de uma técnica objetiva, direcionada por jogos de improvisação? Esses fragmentos textuais podem ser nossos suportes na transcrição de uma prática sensível à um modelo marcado pela objetividade que é a pesquisa acadêmica.
AULA DE ARTE SEM PROFESSOR DE ARTE: APONTAMENTOS DE UMA REALIDADE GAÚCHA
Authors: Oppitz Paola de Farias
Published: December 2018

Este artigo pretende discutir a situação da disciplina de Arte nas escolas públicas, geridas pelo estado do Rio Grande do Sul, levando em conta que, em várias dessas escolas, quem leciona a disciplina é um professor sem formação acadêmica para tal. O trabalho traz uma reflexão a respeito da proposta do Governo Federal com a Medida Provisória 746/2016, que altera a Lei 9.394 de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, bem como discute de que maneira a MP pode refletir na realidade das escolas públicas. A lei permite que professores da Educação Básica, sendo profissionais com notório saber, reconhecidos pelos respectivos sistemas de ensino, possam ministrar conteúdos de áreas afins à sua formação. O artigo aborda, ainda, temas como a valorização do professor com formação em Arte, a importância da presença desse profissional em sala de aula e a preocupação com a formação básica do aluno na visão da Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, em diálogo com questões levantadas no livro Em defesa da escola – uma questão pública, de Masschelein e Simons, tendo como foco principal o capítulo 4, intitulado Domando o professor, em que os autores discorrem sobre as possibilidades de o professor ser domado pelas circunstâncias da instituição escolar.

O ENCONTRO DOS RIOS: ANÁLISES SOBRE CERÂMICA E ARTE POPULAR
Authors:   Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho - UNESP, Silva Mariana de Araujo Alves da
Published: December 2018

A arte popular brasileira tem raízes multiculturais e se apresenta como objeto de investigação tanto para campo das artes, como para campo da antropologia. Embora as abordagens sejam diferentes, as análises de ambas as áreas demonstram que a arte popular brasileira conflui e entrelaça uma grande diversidade de questões, as quais frequentemente terminam por ser diminuídas frente às discussões levantadas pela Grande Arte ocidental. Este artigo pretende pensar sobre algumas dessas questões a partir da observação de um grupo de ceramistas que produzem suas peças organizados em uma associação localizada no oeste baiano.

Student Pathways in South Africa
Authors: Schendel Rebecca
Published: December 2018

The recent student protests in South Africa highlight a disconnect between academic research on higher education and institutional policy and practice. One reason for this impasse may be the “siloing” of research focused on different “moments” along a student’s pathway through higher education; another is the relative lack of research focused on less-resourced institutions. Addressing these challenges is a priority, not only in South Africa but also around the world.
Some remarks on the coincidence set for the Signorini problem
Authors: de Benito Delgado Miguel , Díaz Jesus Ildefonso
Published: December 2018

We study some properties of the coincidence set for the boundary Signorini problem, improving some results from previous works by the second author and collaborators. Among other new results, we show here that the convexity assumption on the domain made previously in the literature on the location of the coincidence set can be avoided under suitable alternative conditions on the data.
Oppmerksomhet, fallgruvebevissthet og etikk: Vitenskapsfilosofiske refleksjoner
Authors: Greve Anniken
Published: December 2018

Inspired by Wittgenstein, this article starts with a suggestion that we need to discuss the question of method in literary studies on the basis of a differentiation between different research acts. It argues that a methodical procedure for the interpretation of literary texts is best understood as a response to ethical demands on the reader. Building on Iris Murdoch’s notion of attention, and to a notion of pitfall-awareness that emerges from Stanley Cavell’s reading of Wittgenstein, the article suggests some principles on which such a methodical procedure might be based, and argues for the importance of such an approach as a way of strengthening scholarly literary interpretation as an open and communal field of activity, in which not only the resulting interpretations but also the procedure itself invites and even requires the critical scrutiny of peers.
An Intercultural Analysis of Personal Metadiscourse in English and Chinese Commencement Speeches
Authors: Zhu Yuting
Published: December 2018

The existing metadiscourse studies on the comparison of English and Chinese language are relatively few, especially on spoken discourse. The present study examines the use of personal metadiscourse in English and Chinese commencement speeches based on Ädel’s reflexive model of metadiscourse and its adaption. The corpus for this study comprises 60 commencement speeches – 30 Chinese and 30 English – delivered in prestigious American and Chinese universities respectively. This study investigates (1) The similarities and differences in the use of personal metadiscourse in English and Chinese commencement speeches; (2) the possible reasons behind these similarities and differences. Qualitative and quantitative analysis indicates that American speeches feature markedly more personal metadiscourse than Chinese speeches. Textual analysis further reveals some similarities and differences in the discourse functions of personal metadiscourse between two sets of texts due to genre characteristics and social-cultural differences. The findings of this study provide some insight into the classification of Chinese metadiscourse and the awareness of cross-cultural communication.
Death Portrayals in Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Masque of the Red Death’: A Transtextual Study in Relation to the Holy Qur’an and Arabic Literary Heritage
Authors: Almahameed Atef Adel , Almahameed Nusaiba Adel , Rabea Reem , Alshamare Imad-edden Nayif M A'leade
Published: December 2018

This paper is aimed at interpreting Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ (1842) and its portrayal of death in relation to the Holy Qur’an and Arabic literary heritage. This reading provides new insights into the understanding of the story. The paper argues that Poe’s story and its depictions of death allows for a transtextual analysis as it is based, for a significant extent, on stories from the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, which informs of the inevitability of death. In addition, the anatomic study of the story investigates the influence of Arabic literary heritage and its role in arousing the writer’s imagination. Scholarly work notes that Poe’s story follows many traditions of gothic fiction and is often analysed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Apart from scholarly work on the story, the paper is purported at rereading the story and explores the transtextual connections and affiliations between the story’s portrayal of death and what Qur’an tells about death. There are striking moments of parallelism between the two sources on the notion of death although the story’s oriental and Islamic references to death shine implicitly through and never made explicit nor directly copy the Qur’anic verse or the Arabic literary sources. Therefore, the paper digs deeply into the story to explore how its representations of death are influenced and shaped by the Holy Qur’an and Arabic literary heritage
