The Influence of the Radiation Background of City-Forming Settlements with NPPs on Public Health and the Environment
Authors: BOLOTNIKOVA ANASTASIIA , MALYSHEVSKА HANNA
Published: December 2022

The radioactive decay of elements as a result of a nuclear reaction is a powerful source of energy used in the production of electricity and heat in cities close to NPPs. The problem of using this kind of energy is the danger of radiation exposure. The production of nuclear energy has many advantages, including the profitability of the final product and its low cost; on the other hand, the half-life products of radionuclides in the composition of gas-aerosol emissions from ventilation pipes settle in the environment on the territory of city-forming nuclear power plants. The duality of the problems of the impact of radiation background on the urban areas near NPPs has become the purpose of this study. It is necessary to investigate the negative effect of radioactive waste emissions during the normal operation of nuclear power plants. For this purpose, the method of a project experiment was used, during which, using laboratory monitoring of external radiation safety and an automated radiation monitoring system, indicators of exposure dose capacities were collected from points in the 30-kilometre zone around the NPP. As a result of the monitoring of radiation samples from soil, atmospheric air and precipitation, and reservoirs, it was revealed that the natural radiation background is insignificant; the probability of harm from radiation exposure is small and insufficient for the development of radiation sickness. However, potentially unsafe sources of radiation exposure have been identified, such as natural radiation – the consumption of contaminated food, solar and cosmic radiation from radioactive elements present in the bowels of the earth; radionuclides, whose emissions uncontrollably occur into the atmosphere; radioactive waste, the disposal and storage technology of which is economically costly. Therefore, it is justified to conduct regular design experiments to check the operability of automated radiation monitoring systems. The materials of the study are of practical value for chemists, environmentalists, and ecotechnologists working at NPPs that monitor safety for human health and environmental protection in the field of atomic energy use

Published: December 2022

Devinebilir olma, devinim veya devingenlik; insanlara ve mekânsal gereksinmelere cevap veren, taşınabilen, durum değiştirilebilen; durağanlığın aksine hareketin ve yer değişiminin karşılığı olan kavramdır. Mimari üründe veya mekânda devinebilir olma dünyada giderek daha da yaygınlaşmaktadır. Devingen mimari ürünlerden olan mobil mikro konutlar, konumunu değiştirerek içerisinde yaşamın devam ettirildiği mekânlardandır. Diğer taraftan mobil mikro konutlarda devinimi sağlayan mekân bileşen ve öğeleri ile mekân örgütlenmesi çeşitlenmekte ve mekândaki olanaklar artmaktadır. Bu doğrultu da çalışmanın temel amacı, mekândaki bileşenler ve öğeler aracılığıyla devinim sürecinin değerlendirilmesi ve mekândaki devinim etkisini ortaya koymaktadır. Mobil mikro konutlardaki mekân bileşenleri ve öğelerinde oluşan devinimin hareket, değişim, geçicilik ve boşluk kavramlarıyla mekân üzerindeki etkisinin ortaya konulması, mekândaki devinimin süreci ve mekânında devinime tepkileri çalışma çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır. Yapılan literatür taramaları sonucunda mobil mikro konutta devimin nasıl ele alındığı incelenerek bu doğrultuda “mekândaki devinim” modeli oluşturulmuştur. ‘Mekândaki devinim’ modeline bağlı olarak belirlenen 20 mobil mikro konut analiz edilmiştir. Mobil mikro konuttaki devinimle 5 temel sorunun cevabı aranmıştır. Sonuç olarak mekândaki devinimin; mekân örgütlenmesini etkilediği ve devinebilen her şeyin tasarımı doğru yapıldığında standart konutta bulunan eylem alanların karşılanabildiği görülmektedir. Mekândaki devinim sürecinde, devinim eylemleriyle konuta olanaklar sağlanabildiği gibi bazı devinim eylemleriyle konutta kısıtlılıklar oluşturduğu da görülmektedir. Konut mekânda oluşan devinime ise işlevsel, görsel ve boyutsal olarak farklı tepkiler göstermektedir. Çalışmanın temel varsayımı seçilen örneklere “mekândaki devinim” modelinin uygulanılmasıyla devinimin mekâna etkilerinin, devinimin sürecinin ve mekânın devinime tepkilerinin açık ve net bir şekilde ortaya konacağının düşünülmesidir. Tüm etkiler, süreç ve tepkiler incelendiğinde, mekân tasarlanırken mekândaki devinimin göz önünde bulundurularak uygulandığında ise mekândaki yaşanabilirliğin ve kullanışlılığın artacağı düşünülmektedir.
Kant on the future of representative democracy
Authors: Welsch Martin
Published: December 2022

Kant’s Staatsrecht in his “Metaphysics of Morals” likely represents the sharpest analysis and critique of democratic modernity after 1789. At the same time, it provides a unique outlook on the future of modern representative democracy. This has gone largely unnoticed, with scholars often lamenting the problematic nature of the late text, blamed either on the author’s supposed senility or on the inscrutable composition resulting from confusion during the printing process. Rather than affirming these readings, I will argue that they are merely attempts to wrestle with the brilliance of Kant’s philosophical rhetoric. Through a new reading of a key passage in the Staatsrecht, I substantiate this claim by reconstructing Kant’s late account of repres- entative democracy and its future.

Published: December 2022

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar os efeitos da cal hidratada e do rejeito de mármore nas propriedades mecânicas e adesividade das misturas asfálticas. Foi realizada a substituição de 1,5% no peso total do corpo de prova por cal e rejeito de mármore, comparando-os com uma mistura convencional. Foram executados os ensaios de resistência à tração por compressão diametral, módulo de resiliência, estabilidade e fluência, cântabro e dano por umidade. Os corpos de prova utilizados foram moldados conforme metodologia Marshall e distribuição granulométrica pertencente ao centro da faixa C do Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes. Os resultados mostraram que a utilização da cal e do rejeito de mármore melhoram consideravelmente a suscetibilidade ao dano e as propriedades mecânicas da mistura. Dessa forma, este trabalho corrobora com os efeitos benéficos da adição da cal em misturas asfáltica já descritos na bibliografia e identificou o potencial de uso do rejeito de mármore.

Despite increasing efforts, youth perspectives remain largely excluded from decision- making processes concerning their future and the social-ecological challenges they are set to inherit. While youth are a critical and powerful force for social change, many youths in underserved communities have limited access to appropriate information on the root causes and consequences of environmental change, in addition to an array of other complex social injustices. To address this, we embarked on a participatory action research process which focused on democratising research, science and the arts by facilitating experiential, immersive learning opportunities with the intention of eventually co-producing artifacts (in the form of participatory murals) in public spaces to facilitate longer term engagement with human nature futures. This article outlines and shares reflections on our process and offers insights for future engagement activities that seek to mobilise youth imaginaries and agency. We found participants were better engaged when conversations were (1) facilitated by other participants; (2) were outdoors and centred on public art; and (3) were happening in parallel with a hands-on activity. This contrasted with asking interview-type questions, or asking participants to write down their answers, which felt more like a test than a conversation, minimising participation. Key learnings included: the need to co-develop knowledge around enhancing climate literacy that is based on local realities; that multiple capacities and hives of activity already exist in communities and need to be mobilised and not built; that creative visioning and futuring can help identify options for change; and that many youths are seeking creative, immersive and safe spaces for co-learning and connection. Initiatives that aim to engage diverse voices should therefore be well- resourced so as to carefully co-design processes that start by acknowledging contextual differences and capacities within those contexts, and co-create immersive dialogues, in order to move away from test-like engagements which perpetuate power imbalances and discourage participation.

Published: December 2022

Differences in the degree of damage to cell membranes in small-seeded and large-seeded (plate) varieties of lentils of the world collection of VIR named after V.I. N.I. Vavilov. An assessment of the relative drought resistance of lentils by determining the exosmosis of electrolytes from plant leaves made it possible to identify samples with the lowest cell membrane permeability as an indirect indicator of drought resistance. High resistance to "physiological drought" in laboratory conditions was noted in the following samples: 2021 - k-2872 (USA), k-2850 (Russia), k-1043 (Italy), k-2839 (Canada), k-2365 (Sweden), k-1964 (Ethiopia); 2022 - k-1850 (Armenia), k-2850 (Russia), k-2365 (Sweden). Therefore, it is purposeful to include samples k-2850 (Russia) and k-2365 (Sweden) as highly resistant in breeding programs to create a valuable initial material of lentils in the arid zones of the Russian Federation. Samples of lentils with increased adaptive potential are proposed. Keywords: LENTILS, COLLECTION, SAMPLE, EXOSMOSIS, DEGREE OF DAMAGE, CELL MEMBRANES

The processes of membrane separation and concentration belong to the category of critical technologies for obtaining and processing structural and functional materials for desalination of water. The prospects and advantages of polyamides membranes are determined based on the analysis of the kinetics of membrane separation, the polyamides membrane has resistance to the studied salt solutions. The purpose of this work is to study the features and regularities of the mechanism of selective extraction of salt ions from water by polyamide membranes. Great importance are the methods of water purification in the selective extraction of salt ions from water using polyamide membranes. Methodology. Polyamides have a high selectivity with respect to salts, but the flow of water through them is slightly lower. At a pH range 2.0 – 10 polyamides, they withstand processing temperatures up to 100 0C without significant changes in the porous structure, allow multiple regeneration, and are resistant to most acids, depending on the pH of the medium. Results. According to the results of pilot tests in the extraction of salt ions from water using polyamide membranes, it was found that in the pH region = 6-7, the joint presence of the main charged forms of salt ions is assumed. Conclusion. Thus, based on the results, it follows that the values of the diffusion coefficients of salt ions in membranes with pore radii from 5 to 8 nm at pH =6.5–7.5 are generally comparable for salt ions.

Hydrogel ointments based on complex of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) with iodine and carbopol 940 as a gel base were obtained. The rheological properties of hydrogels have been studied. It has been established that the viscosity characteristics of the gels depend only on concentration of carbopol 940 and presence of polymeric iodophor complex does not affect their rheological properties. The study of release of iodine from obtained hydrogels using Frans cell installation showed that samples of carbopol 940-POZ-iodine/iodide release the smallest amount of iodine and show a prolonging effect. The possibility of using hydrogel ointments as dosage forms for treatment of skin diseases has been studied. It is shown that obtained gel samples are able to stay on the skin surface in the flush mode for 40 minutes, while there is no staining of the skin with iodine.

The practice of the motor roads operation in the Republic of Kazakhstan shows that the durability of asphalt concrete pavements on them is much lower than the standard terms. Therefore, maintaining roads in a condition, whichmeets the requirements of traffic flows is impossible without the use of new, progressive materials and technologies. The main factor influencing a sharp decrease in the service life of the road surfaces is the use of low-quality bitumen as a binder in asphalt concrete mixtures, since microcracks develop mainly in its film.The goal of the work. In this paper, the physical and mechanical properties of bitumen of the grade ORB(oil road bitumen) 70/110 of the Aktau bitumen plant have beenstudied. Methods.To improve the operational characteristics of bitumen, modification with polyethylene and polystyrene waste has beencarried out.Results and discussion.It has beenshown that after the addition of the modifying additives, the main indicators of bitumen have improved. For polyethylene: the depth of needle penetration has decreased from 70 down to 61 mm, the extensibilityof bitumenhas decreased by 52 cm, which indicates an improvement in the plasticity and elasticity, the softening temperature along the ring and ball has increased from 49 up to 59 °C, which leads to reducingthe tendency of bitumen deformation, and the brittleness temperature has beenwithin the normal range -not less than -20 °C. In case of using polystyrene, the penetration characterizing the bitumen hardness decreases from 70 mm down to 61 mm; the extensibilityof bitumen increases by 10 cm, which indicates an improvement in the elasticity and strength, due to the presence of the resulting structural network. Conclusion. The softening temperature of bitumen increases, which leads to an improvement in the heat resistance and viscosity.
Popular Song Topics in the Dutch Republic
Authors: Lassche Alie
Published: December 2022

This article investigates popular topics and topical fluctuations in a diachronic corpus of 43,772 Dutch songs, all written between 1550 and 1750, contained within the Dutch Song Database. Computational methods such as topic modelling are used to analyse the relationship between topical changes and cultural-historical developments. Two cultural trends are used as case studies: the role of Petrarchism, and the articulation of a patriotic identity in early modern Dutch song culture. Furthermore, this data-driven approach reveals how subcategories can be defined within the existing but incomplete genre classification in the song collection. The results obtained contribute to a better understanding of the richness of the Dutch Song Database, and will facilitate the use of the song collection by future users.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

The article presents a method using which it is possible to accurately transcribe PC speaker music in games. The idea of the transcription method is to modify the DOSBox emulator so that it records PC speaker events (note onset times and frequencies) while playing the game. This results in an initial transcription which can be processed using music notation software.

Using the transcription method, music from two PC games are transcribed and analyzed. In Alley Cat (1984), an impression of polyphony is achieved by playing sounds in different registers close to each other. In Stunts (1990), a large number of PC speaker events are created to produce polyphony, vibrato and glissandos. The analyses show examples of restrictions and possibilities when composing PC speaker music. The article presents a method using which it is possible to accurately transcribe PC speaker music in games. The idea of the transcription method is to modify the DOSBox emulator so that it records PC speaker events (note onset times and frequencies) while playing the game. This results in an initial transcription which can be processed using music notation software.
Hidrelétricas compensam? Uma análise do caso da UHE Irapé em Minas Gerais
Authors: Carvalho Costa Pedro , Maria Galizoni Flávia
Published: December 2022

Este artigo investiga os impactos socioeconômicos da UHE Irapé para os municípios atingidos no alto curso do rio Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais. Obra que, mesmo após uma década de implantação, é associada à “redenção” de uma região considerada economicamente deprimida. Através de pesquisas documentais e entrevistas de campo, foram identificados, enquanto legados vivos, os repasses de Compensação Financeira e de ICMS cujos valores foram analisados tendo como baliza outras fontes de recursos, como o Fundo de Participação dos Municípios dentre outros. Concluiu-se que os legados financeiros da Usina foram relativamente baixos, perdendo significado no período analisado. Destaca-se que a Compensação Financeira teve aplicação pouco transparente, e não atende às demandas de comunidades rurais e povoados mais atingidos pela represa. Diante das consequências socioambientais e do custo empreendido na sua implantação, esses legados se mostraram insignificantes e não compensaram os prejuízos ocasionados, em contramão às narrativas da proje- ção de um desenvolvimento econômico local.

"In legal metrology, in addition to the elements of the measurement result, the measurement uncertainty is also required in order to establish the level of confidence or risk regarding compliance decisions. Because of this, the uncertainty assessment considers the indicated uncertainty of the utilized measuring device, as well as the uncertainty linked to calibration and any other uncertainties pertaining to how the measuring instrument is utilized in practice. The uncertainty of these readings must also be taken into account if further measures, such as pressure and temperature, are required. The basic concepts of measurement, legal metrology, measurement errors, measurement uncertainty, types of measurement uncertainties, the importance of the mixed models and two case studies in which we obtained different values for the uncertainty were examined in this article. Both of the two case studies that are discussed are the general uncertainty with a backup strategy and the uncertainty for partially transferred source flows. Here, the installation's operating modes, the formulae used to estimate uncertainty, and the procedure for doing so were all described."

The exploitation of wellbore condensate deposits must be carried out in such a way that both water and condensate from the productive layer are not entrained during extraction. That is precisely why the article analyzes the effect of the density of perforations of the productive layer on the amount of extracted gas. The effect of the area affected by the drilling on the produced gas flow is also studied. After 50 years since the first use of the mechanical realization of the perforations of the productive layers of the gas wells, there is little data regarding the influence of the perforation geometry of a gas well, namely the way of communication between the production layer and the borehole, on its production. The aim of this paper is to simulate the operation of the well for different values specific to the drilling mode, highlighting its production. The problem is addressed by nodal analysis. The numerical simulators were used to simulate the flow of the mixture through the layer-well system and respectively through the mixture pipe.

The geotechnical, electrometric and magnetometric investigation data, correlated with the technological data from the horizontal directional drillings made for the undercrossing of the Danube River with gas pipelines, showed that in the Giurgiu-Ruse section, under a clastic sequence of 14-19 m thickness, consisting of layers of sandy clays, sands and white-grey, alluvial gravels, are developed Cretaceous grey altered limestones, yellowish-brown lumachelle limestones and grey-pink, compact limestones. The altered, eroded, and karstified limestones seems to be the explanation of drastic circulation loss of mud in the technological process of digging through horizontal directional drillings. In the studied studied, on the Giurgiu-Ruse alignment in the southern area of the Moesian Platform (Wallachian sector), there are several relevant papers occasioned by the construction of the Saint Gheorghe harbour channel related to the Giurgiu harbour, at the time of the 19th century (1888-1890), as well as the papers related to the investigations occasioned by the construction of the Giurgiu-Ruse Bridge in 1959. Older or newer papers are added, relating to the carbonate deposits of different ages of the Cretaceous in the outcrops of the Bulgarian bank of the Danube, as well as descriptions from drillings adjacent to the studied section.

In the current context of the deepening energy crisis and the continuous decrease of natural resources, especially crude oil, it is necessary to approach production strategies that are really efficient, both from a technical and economic point of view, in order to reduce energy consumption as much as possible and manage resources as efficiently as possible. In this sense, the experimental study presented in this paper proposes an effective technological solution for the transformation of some waste, such as used lubricants, into useful products, this valorization being realized with minimal processing costs and energy consumption.
Tunnel valleys in the southeastern North Sea: more data, more complexity
Authors: Lohrberg Arne , Schneider von Deimling Jens , Grob Henrik , Lenz Kai-Frederik , Krastel Sebastian
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Large Pleistocene ice sheets have produced glacial structures both at and below the surface in northern Europe. Some of the largest and most erosive structures are so-called tunnel valleys (TVs): large and deep channels (typically up to 5 km wide and up to 400 m deep, with lengths
up to 100 km), which formed below ice sheets. Although the subject of many
studies, the details of their formation and fill are still not well
understood. Here, we present an update on the distribution of TVs in the
southeastern North Sea between Amrum and Heligoland based on a very dense
grid of high-resolution 2D multi-channel reflection seismic data (400 m line spacing). The known tunnel valleys (TV1–TV3) in that area can now be traced in greater detail and further westwards, which results in an increased resolution and coverage of their distribution. Additionally, we were able to
identify an even deeper and older tunnel valley, TV0, whose orientation
parallels the thrust direction of the Heligoland Glacitectonic Complex
(HGC). This observation implies a formation of TV0 before the HGC during an
early-Elsterian or pre-Elsterian ice advance. For the first time, we acquired
high-resolution longitudinal seismic profiles following the thalweg of known
TVs. These longitudinal profiles offer clear indications of an incision
during high-pressure bank-full conditions. The fill indicates sedimentation
in an early high-energy environment for the lower part and a subsequent
low-energy environment for the upper part. Our results demonstrate that a
very dense profile spacing is required to decipher the complex incisions of
TVs during multiple ice advances in a specific region. We also demonstrate
that the time- and cost-effective acquisition of high-resolution 2D
reflection seismic data holds the potential to further our understanding of
the incision and filling mechanisms as well as of the distribution,
complexity and incision depths of TVs in different geological settings.

This paper presents results of the interdisciplinary investigations into the ancient wooden construction, presumably, a well, discovered near the Pamerkiai village, south-eastern Lithuania. The study aims at ascertaining the context (specific geological-geomorphological situation and the habitation history of this territory) of this comparably well-preserved and very uncommon find. The discovered wooden construction and its environment were investigated applying a multi-disciplinary approach combining the archaeological survey, which includes analysis of the collected artefacts, the dendrological examination of the timber used for construction, investigations of the plant macroremains and pollen found in the infilling material, and the 14C dating (conventional and AMS) of the organic material; and the geological-geomorphological characterization of the site. A new perspective to gain data about the infrastructure that might have existed in the area in the 15th century is provided: the integrated and interdisciplinary research is believed to reveal the natural and anthropogenic context. A discussion on the feasibility of tracing the origins of the modern Pamerkiai village is generated. It is alternatively hypothesized that the discovered wooden construction is part of the stopover place on the highroad that has been archaeologically unexplored.

FINGERPRINT MARKERS OF DELINQUENCY IN THE GROUP OF SERIAL KILLERS AND SUICIDES
Authors: Bozhchenko Alexander , Yakushev Vitaliy
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of a number of combinations of types of papillary finger patterns, most characteristic of a group of serial killers and a group of suicides. It is established that combinatorics is most characteristic for both groups, in which the sum of the pattern codes of the index and middle fingers is equal to the value of the pattern code of the ring finger (right hand). The frequency of its occurrence in both comparison groups is 10%, which is about 10 times more frequent than in the control. Considering that papillary patterns are innate signs, the commonality of dermatoglyphic signs in serial killers and suicides indicates the influence of a biological factor on the likelihood of delinquent and deviant behaviors in humans (at least in some people).
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN COUNTERACTING ECONOMIC CRIMES COMMITTED IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Rahim Bekhanovich Barkhanov
Published: December 2022

Combating economic crimes committed in the field of information technology is important not only at the state level, but also at the international level. This is due to the fact that committing these crimes is in no way limited by borders of the state. Due to the fact that these crimes are spread around the world, each state has its own experience in dealing with them. In this work we suggest analyzing peculiarities of existing international practices of counteraction to economic crimes in the sphere of information technologies.

Authors: Ronzhina Nina A. , Chekalkina Pauline А. , Khairusov Denis S.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the relationship between the concepts of «environmental safety» and «sustainable development» as target criteria for public management of environmental quality. A special place is given to examples of applying the criterion of «sustainable development» as the goal of state environmental management in the legislation of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Possible prospects for replacing the target criterion «environmental safety» in the Russian environmental law with the criterion «sustainable development» in terms of fixing the target priorities of environmental quality management are discussed.

En el presente trabajo analizaremos la influencia del Congestorium artificiosae memoriae (1520) de Johannes Romberch en el Dialogo del modo di accrescere e conservar la memoria (1562) de Lodovico Dolce. La obra de Romberch es uno de los tratados de memoria artificial más reconocidos de su tiempo y, no obstante, debe gran parte de su difusión a la traducción italiana de humanista Lodovico Dolce. En estas líneas estudiaremos cómo el traductor modifica el texto original y los motivos que le llevan a ello.
Il percorso esistenziale di Sibilla Aleramo: la scrittura verso una nuova identità, la libertà e l'amore
Authors: Zucchi Valentina
Published: December 2022

L’articolo propone una riflessione sul percorso esistenziale di Sibilla Aleramo attraverso la scrittura e verso una nuova identità, la libertà e l’amore universale. Quest’ultimo costituisce il nucleo tematico del romanzo epistolare Amo dunque sono. Partendo da alcuni riferimenti alla lotta femminista della scrittrice e alla sua drammatica vicenda autobiografica narrata in Una donna, si metterà l’accento sulla poetica al femminile del diario che esprime, sia per i contenuti sia per lo stile di scrittura, la sensibilità della ‘nuova’ donna ormai emancipata, rinnovata e ricostruita; con una nuova identità. Vedremo come questo diario arrivi ad essere l’espressione piú alta della fede nell’amore, vissuto dalla scrittrice come unico mezzo per arrivare al principio divino e alla comprensione dell’invisibile delle cose.
Tra testo, lessico e morfosintassi: analisi descrittiva di testi di italiano L2
Authors: Malagnini Francesca , Fioravanti Irene
Published: December 2022

La competenza testuale, lessicale e morfosintattica rappresentano tre competenze importanti per lo sviluppo e l’apprendimento di una seconda lingua (L2). Se da un lato, la competenza testuale si sviluppa linearmente fin dalle prime fasi dell’apprendimento della L2, altrettanto non si può affermare per la competenza lessicale e morfosintattica. Gli apprendenti L2, infatti, sembrano non individuare gli errori lessicali e a violare le regole di restrizione lessicale. Inoltre, alcuni aspetti morfosintattici, come la selezione delle forme verbali e l’uso di ordini sintattici complessi, sembrano essere problematici per gli apprendenti. Tenendo a mente ciò, il presente contributo indaga il livello testuale, lessicale e morfo-sintattico in testi di apprendenti di italiano di due livelli di competenza linguistica diversi: intermedio e avanzato. Lo scopo dell’analisi è stato quello di delineare i tratti più salienti in ciascuno dei tre piani di analisi sia nel livello intermedio che avanzato, e quanto i due livelli differiscano fra di loro. I risultati hanno mostrato che sia i testi intermedi che avanzati mostrano una buona architettura testuale. Dal punto di vista grammaticale, i due livelli sono caratterizzati dagli stessi errori (p.e., la selezione non corretta delle preposizioni e l’uso dei clitici). Tuttavia, i testi del livello intermedio mostrano una maggior correttezza grammaticale dei testi di livello avanzato. Al contrario, la competenza lessicale risulta superiore nei testi di livello avanzato rispetto ai testi di livello intermedio, suggerendo che gli apprendenti di livello avanzato tendono a dirigersi verso una struttura del testo più comunicativa che corretta grammaticalmente.
Creazione di una persona: Pier Paolo Pasolini e “la funzione Pound”
Authors: Annovi Gian Maria
Published: December 2022

Il saggio ripercorre le fasi del complesso rapporto tra Pier Paolo Pasolini ed Erza Pound, indagando le ragioni del passaggio dall’iniziale rifiuto al successivo interesse  pasoliniano verso l’autore dei Cantos. Analizzando la famosa e controversa intervista televisiva Un’ora con Ezra Pound, e le citazioni poundiane in Pilade, Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma, La nuova gioventù e Petrolio, l’autore dimostra come nell’ultima fase della sua opera, Pound divenga per Pasolini uno dei suoi tanti modelli autoriali, il simbolo di un poeta scandaloso con il quale identificarsi.
The encoding of irrelevance in discourse: tanto between concession and justification
Authors: Lo Baido Maria Cristina , Mauri Caterina
Published: December 2022

he paper sets out to investigate the linguistic expression of irrelevance in discourse, by focusing on the functions and uses of the marker tanto in present-day Italian. The marker encodes the irrelevance of a given condition, thus conveying a concessive meaning not distant from the value expressed by concessive conditionals or ‘no matter’ predicates. In the construction [p, tanto q], the marker tanto conveys the fact that q holds in any case, namely whether p, non-p, or any value of p is the case. After discussing how the notion of irrelevance has been treated in the literature on conditionals, concessives and predicates of indifference, we will discuss the results of a corpus-based study on spoken Italian, identifying and annotating all the occurrences of irrelevance-tanto. We will show that irrelevance may be expressed by a number of different discourse patterns, explicitly mentioning the irrelevant proposition, the null-effect and the motivation for irrelevance, or omitting one or more of these components. It will be argued that the cases in which speakers simply refer to the irrelevance of a given proposition are rare in our sample, whereas it is more frequent that they also mention the motivation underlying irrelevance, justifying their indifference and thus crucially acting at the intersubjective level. We will show, indeed, that tanto may also be used alone as a discourse marker encoding the speaker’s attitude of indifference: in these cases, tanto is pronounced with suspensive intonation, and subsumes under its semantics the adversative, justificative, and indiscriminative value, activating meanings that speakers are supposed to share.
Ripensare l’intersoggettificazione tramite l’evoluzione dei marcatori del discorso in siciliano
Authors: Scivoletto Giulio
Published: December 2022

L’articolo tratta il tema dell’intersoggettificazione come tendenza del mutamento semantico-pragmatico, esaminando il caso dell’evoluzione di arà e bì come marcatori del discorso in siciliano. Per definire il concetto di intersoggettificazione, si offre innanzitutto una disamina di alcune nozioni che vi stanno alla base: l’intersoggettività come superamento del soggetto nel sapere umanistico contemporaneo, la soggettività nella riflessione linguistica, e infine il modello stesso dell’intersoggettificazione. Viene dunque analizzata l’evoluzione dei due marcatori del discorso in siciliano, di cui si ricostruiscono gli sviluppi diacronici. L’analisi di questi due percorsi diacronici offre dati empirici che permettono una ridefinizione teorica dell’intersoggettificazione come la tendenza secondo cui si sviluppano significati incentrati su due componenti costitutive dell’interazione linguistica, i soggetti interlocutori e il discorso stesso.
Formação de Professores no Brasil e Honduras: concepções e políticas
Authors: Escoto Josue Javier Cruz , Monteiro Filomena Maria de Arruda
Published: December 2022

Este trabalho é parte da dissertação de mestrado do primeiro autor e visa compreender as concepções e políticas de formação de professores tanto no Brasil quanto em Honduras, tomando como exemplo um curso de graduação de professores em cada país. A fim de atingir nosso objetivo, trabalhamos com uma abordagem de estudo de caso qualitativo, contando com a revisão documental e entrevistas com os coordenadores atuais como formas de coletar as informações. As análises interpretativas dos dados mostram que a concepção da formação de professores legitimada em ambos os países se baseia nos princípios do paradigma tecnológico. Apesar desta proximidade, concluímos que sua estruturação é concebida de diferentes maneiras, especialmente nas políticas e concepções evocadas.
