Constructive system of reciprocal frames in terms of contemporary architecture
Authors: Tosic Zlata , Krasic Sonja , Stojic Dragoslav
Published: February 2019

In this paper, the reciprocal frame constructions are analyzed, starting from
their definition, historical survey, to static and geometric
characteristics, types and forms. Although very familiar for their shape,
their earlier usage in contemporary architecture was not the same as at
present. An overview of some of the more recent examples of conceptual
solutions and derived pavilions has been established. These structures
represent good example for temporary structures in a form of pavilions. Goal
in this paper is to design a sample of a closed permanent building combining
classical structural systems and RFs. The chosen geometry was predefined as
regular in order to use its properties to determine if there is a
possibility to form equal units. Finally, based on defined entities, the
pavilion?s conceptual design was made using a parametric design in plug-in
Grasshopper and Rhinoceros software.
The concept of fragmentation: Between form and formless
Authors: Mojsilovic Mila , Milenkovic Vladimir
Published: February 2019

Drawing on the idea that abstraction of architectural design is repeatedly
demonstrated by new concepts, and that the idea of the design contains a
fragment of its internal laws, the paper raises the question of alteration
of forms towards new time- space categories. In contrast to Euclidean
geometry based on the continuity of geometric forms, fragmented forms draw
upon deformations and variability, operating in the limit zones, for the
design, zones of the greatest creativity and potentiality. A new
understanding of reality shaped by digitization of all systems has created
the basis for forms of self-organization, openness, contingency, and
emergence. What we have before us is basically a new aesthetics that goes
beyond the horizon of visible in a way that allows the whole world and all
its parts to be seen in a completely new, immaterial way. This means that
architectural forms appear in the visibility zones, together with the forms
of their systemic dislocation.

Authors: Kuzminac Ivana , Klisuric Olivera , Nikolic Andrea , Sakac Marija
Published: February 2019

Reaction conditions variation and its influence on the reaction of 3?-
acetoxy-17-oxa-17a-homoandrost-5-en-16-one with in situ generated
hypobromous acid was investigated. Hypobromous acid was generated from
N-bromoacetamide or Nbromosuccinimide and perchloric acid, and as solvent
dioxane, dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran were used. After a series of
experiments, it was determined that the number of the reaction products
depends on the reagent used, solvents, perchloric acid concentration and the
presence/absence of daylight. It has also been found that the yields of
certain compounds depend also on the reaction time and temperature.
6?-Bromo-5?- hydroxy derivate is obtained by usage of NBA and 0.28 M
perchloric acid in dioxane on daylight. Its structure was confirmed by NMR
and X-ray crystal structure analysis.
The connection between mathematics and physics from the aspect of reasoning based on proportions and errors in the conclusion
Authors: Radulovic Branka , Dorocki Marina
Published: February 2019

Numerous researchers emphasized the connection between mathematics and
physics, as well as the pupil's lack of linking knowledge gained within
these subjects. In this paper, examples of the connection between
mathematics and physics will be examined by the scientific reasoning test
and the initial test created for this research. In the research related to
the initial knowledge and scientific research, 235 students of the first and
second grade of gymnasiums in Novi Sad and Backa Palanka participated. The
results of the research have shown that most of the students did not
correctly answer questions related to reasoning based on proportions. The
obtained result points to the pupil's misunderstanding of the notion of the
smallest interval of an instrument, that is, the value of an instrumental
error, which is the basis of the correct reading of the experimental results
in the teaching of physics. From the point of view of physics, it is
important for pupils to point out the mistakes they have made in concluding,
in order to correct their claims and the exact information associated with
existing ones in longterm memory.

Authors: Rancev Sasa , Petrovic Milica , Bojic Aleksandar , Radivojevic Dragan , Maluckov Cedomir , Radovic Miodrag
Published: February 2019

A prototype atmospheric pressure non-thermal corona plasma reactor system is
developed and tested for the removal of commercial textile reactive dye from
water. The dye can be completely degraded in water by the presented reactor
system in the initial concentration range of 10-100 mg dm-3. Dye degradation
rate decreases with the increase of initial dye concentration and pulse
frequency. The pH of treated solutions decreases with the increase of
treatment time and with the decrease of the applied frequency. Solutions
electrical conductivity increases with an increase of treatment time and
with the decrease of the applied frequency. The decolorization reactions
follow the pseudo-first kinetics order. The changes in the treated dye
solutions compositions are the consequences of injection of plasma generated
reactive species from gas into the liquid through the interfacial zone.

Authors: ATİLA DİNÇER Ceren , ERDEK Ali Mert , KARAKEÇİLİ Ayşe , YILDIZ Nuray
Published: February 2019

Surface modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-OA) with an average diameter of 10 nm were synthesized, coated by chitosan (CS) and glycol chitosan (GCS), thus magnetic polymer nanocomposites were obtained. The magnetic nanostructures were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). All magnetic structures synthesized in this study exhibited superparamagnetic properties. Loading carboplatin (CPt) as anticancer drug to Fe3O4-OA-GCS nanocomposites were carried out with 13.17 % drug content and 38 % encapsulation efficiency. The cytotoxicity studies were occured by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay on L929 mouse fibroblasts and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Fe3O4-OA-GCS-CPt nanocomposites showed higher cytotoxicity than free CPt on the MCF-7 cells at 50 µg/ml drug concentrations during 72 h.
As diferentes utilizações do princípio da precaução e a difícil tomada de decisão
Authors: Hubner Alysson
Published: February 2019

O presente artigo procura analisar o princípio da precaução e algumas de suas implicações sociais, conforme seus diferentes usos. O princípio da precaução consiste em proteger o meio ambiente através do Estado, quando da ausência completa do conhecimento científico para gerar garantia aos danos irreversíveis. O artigo está estruturado em três partes: na primeira correlaciona-se o desenvolvimento sustentável ao princípio da precaução. A segunda parte trata sobre o princípio da precaução forte e fraco, estabelecendo aqueles que detêm o poder de dizer aquilo que é o princípio da precaução, bem como o processo de judicialização que dele decorre. A terceira parte trata sobre o princípio da precaução e a democracia, procurando observar de que maneira alguns princípios pautados no Ministério do Meio Ambiente contribuem para a observação desta problemática. Os resultados apontam uma fragmentação do princípio da precaução que não pode ser observada a partir de uma perspectiva unívoca, correlacionando os princípios contidos no Ministério do Meio Ambiente acerca do precaução com relação ao seu “sentido forte” do termo. Também é sugerido o princípio da percentagem no lugar do princípio da precaução ou mesmo a princípio da precaução na relação custo-benefício, a fim de realizar uma prática efetiva.

A Relação entre a Responsabilidade Social Corporativa e a Transferência de Conhecimento como Fontes para Geração de Valor Compartilhado
Authors: Melo Mary Fernanda de Sousa de , Souza Roberta Castro , Yaryd Rodrigo Trotta
Published: February 2019

A responsabilidade social corporativa (RSC) deve ser vista de forma estratégica, como fonte para a geração de valor compartilhado, seja ele tangível ou não, para a empresa focal e seus stakeholders. A literatura apresenta que empresas com atuação de RSC estratégica possuem maior acesso ao conhecimento externo. Contudo não é claro como se dão as relações entre empresa focal e seus stakeholders e quais impactos envolvidos.  Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar como empresas socialmente responsáveis e com diferentes abordagens estratégicas geram valor compartilhado por meio da transferência de recursos e conhecimento com seus stakeholders. Utilizou-se casos polares e uma abordagem qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas, desk research e análise do discurso. Os principais stakeholders identificados foram: comunidades locais; governo; empresas de P&D e; clientes empresariais. As empresas transferem recursos e conhecimento para as comunidades locais e aos principais stakeholders. O inverso também ocorre. Os stakeholders e as empresas analisadas fornecem um exemplo de relação simbiótica, onde há desenvolvimento social e geração de vantagem competitiva, atingindo quatro níveis: empresarial, comunidade local, clientes empresariais e meio ambiente. Mesmo figurando em diferentes posições na cadeia de suprimentos, as relações entre empresa focal e seus stakeholders geram valor numa relação ganha-ganha, implicando que o investimento em RSC traz retornos externos e internos. O artigo contribui ao tratar conjuntamente diferentes abordagens teóricas para explicar como se dá a geração de valor compartilhado. Em complemento há a elaboração de uma figura que sintetiza o argumento apresentado e foram elaboradas proposições de base teórico-empírica.

Concordancing in ESP Class Rooms
Authors: Benna Sameh , Bayoudh Olfa
Published: February 2019

The effect of time periodic body force (or g-jitter or gravity modulation) on the onset of Rayleigh-Bnard electro-convention in a micropolar fluid layer is investigated by making linear and non-linear stability analysis. The stability of the horizontal fluid layer heated from below is examined by assuming time periodic body acceleration. This normally occurs in satellites and in vehicles connected with micro gravity simulation studies. A linear and non-linear analysis is performed to show that gravity modulation can significantly affect the stability limits of the system. The linear theory is based on normal mode analysis and perturbation method. Small amplitude of modulation is used to compute the critical Rayleigh number and wave number. The shift in the critical Rayleigh number is calculated as a function of frequency of modulation. The non-linear analysis is based on the truncated Fourier series representation. The resulting non-autonomous Lorenz model is solved numerically to quantify the heat transport. It is observed that the gravity modulation leads to delayed convection and reduced heat transport.

Published: February 2019

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the difference between 35 social and 35 commercial ads that gathered through the internet. Socio-pragmatic strategies that used in ads including Grice (1975) cooperative principle (CP), Leech (1983) politeness principle (PP) and Searle (1970) speech act to persuade persuadees. The findings revealed that cooperative principles are mostly observed in both kinds of advertisement. And there was significant difference in social and commercial ads. This paper indicates that cooperative principles appear to be the more powerful constraints in advertising discourse than politeness principles. As well politeness principles are to be applied in commercial ads significantly more than in social ads. Speech acts are similarly observed in social and commercial ads and they are almost never violated.
The Relationship between Multiple Intelligences and the Age of Institutional Teachers
Authors: Jouzdani Mani
Published: February 2019

This study tends to investigate whether the age of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) institutional teachers in Isfahan/Iran have any relationship with the intelligence they prefer to use, whether consciously or unconsciously, in teaching English as a foreign language. The intelligences considered for the purpose of this study are namely Interpersonal and bodily/kinesthetic intelligences proposed by Gardner (1983). In order to conduct this investigation a standardized questionnaire based on Berman (2001) and Christison and Kennedy (1999) Multiple Intelligence (MI) checklist was given to 117 male institutional teachers and the results were calculated using a paired T-test also ten interviews were conducted at the end of the case study on ten teachers after observing their classes. The results suggested that as the age of the teacher increase, to some extent, their preference in using interpersonal intelligence over bodily/kinesthetic intelligence increases as well. Also the case study conducted on one of the institutional teachers proved that teachers of older ages prefer using interpersonal intelligence over bodily/kinesthetic one.
Exploring the Syntax of the Mo/Deg Adjective phrase
Authors: KWABENA SYLVESTER , Okrah Abraham
Published: February 2019

This study is largely syntactic and descriptive, and it explores the structure of the Mo/Deg adjective phrase. It, thus, provides answers to the question, What is the nature of the Mo/Deg adjective phrase? Data was gathered from thirty-five (35) literate native Mo/Deg speakers who were also very skilful in English language using purposive sampling as the ability to speak and write well in both English and Mo/Deg was crucial. Short simple English sentences which have the structure of the adjective were designed and given to the respondents to rewrite in Mo/Deg.This was done to observe the nature of the adjective structure in the language. Some of the sentences were also given to some staff of the Mo/Deg project of the Ghana Institute of Linguistics, Literacy and Bible Translation (GILLBT) to translate into Mo/Deg because they are ones considered to have deeper formal knowledge of the language. This was to make sure that the correct and acceptable order of the linguistic items in the adjective phrase in the Mo/Deg language was obtained. The translations comprised the data which were analysed using the Systemic Grammar concept of the adjectival group (phrase). The results showed that the Mo/Deg adjective phrase has place for the headword (H) and the qualifier (Q) but does not have a modifier (M). It further found out that the qualifier function in the adjective phrase in the language may be realised by the adverb, the prepositional phrase, and the finite clause. The paper, thus, concluded that the adjective phrase in Mo/Deg language is quite a complex one though without a modifier.
Numerical Code-Switching in Khuzestani Arabic
Authors: Matoori Hossein
Published: February 2019

This paper aims to pinpoint a case of language contact in Khuzestani Arabic- a vernacular spoken in southwest of Iran- where Iranian Khuzestani Arab bilinguals use code-switching in their conversations with numbers. There has not been much research on Khuzestani Arabic vernacular particularly from a sociolinguistics point of view. The way Khuzestani Arabs switch from Arabic to Persian (Farsi) when incorporating numbers into their conversations has triggered the main impetus for this research. After studying and analyzing some samples of their speech, it has been found that this code-switching is surprisingly systematic and rule-governed. The result of this study shows that when scale is assigned to numbers describing weight, height, distance, price, and age, they are said in Arabic; whereas non-scale numbers describing digits, codes, contact numbers, serial numbers, or credit card numbers are said in Persian.

Results indicate that while both proximity to Riga and access to state level roads have a significant impact on commuting flows, it is the former which has a more significant impact.
Tendencies of Recreational Landscape Formation in Southeastern Baltic Seaside Resorts after 1990. Case of the Palanga Resort
Authors: Jankauskaitė Aurelija , Grecevičius Petras
Published: February 2019

The goal is to analyze the tendencies of the formation of recreational landscape of the Palanga resort and, after reviewing the planning experiences of other south-eastern Baltic resorts, present measures for landscape optimization. To achieve this, an analysis of changes of the seaside recreational landscape after 1990, the current state of resorts, scientific literature, and seaside resort planning was conducted. After assessing the changes in the recreational landscape, it has been noticed that for a quarter of the last century, planning of seaside resorts was aimed at attracting and accommodating an increasing number of holidaymakers, which caused an ever increasing need to intensify the construction in the territories, increasing the scale of buildings, and urbanizing natural territories without taking into consideration the existing natural and cultural environment. Natural, anthropogenic and social factors are affecting the recreational landscape of seaside resorts, which are important in the context of resort development and regional development. The article presents the means of Palanga resort optimization based on these factors.

Published: February 2019

Sedation and analgesia may be need­ed for many interventional or diagnostic proce­dures, whose number has grown exponentially lately. The American Society of Anesthesiolo­gists introduced the term “procedural sedation and analgesia” (PSA) and clarified the termi­nology, moderate sedation and Monitored An­esthesia Care. This review tries to present a nondissociative sedation classification, follow­ing ASA guidelines as well as pre-procedural assessment and preparation, in order to choose the appropriate type and level of sedation, pa­tient monitoring and agents, which are most commonly used for sedation and/or analgesia, along with their possible side effects. The paper also lists the possible complications associated with PSA and a few specific particularities of procedural sedation.
Moral Supervenience and Moral Thinking
Authors: Drai Dalia
Published: February 2019

The paper aims at meeting Blackburn’s challenge (1971, 1984, 1985) to explain the non-reductive supervenience of moral predicates on natural ones. It offers a critical examination of Hare’s model of moral thinking (1981) which can be used as a candidate for such an explanation. It is argued that, as it stands, Hare’s model fails to meet Blackburn’s challenge. Yet some revisions of the model are suggested, and it is claimed that the improved version does supply the required explanation. The model suggested in the paper carries a meta-ethical implication concerning the superiority of the anti-realist understanding of moral discourse.
Dynamics of Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae Co-Infection Seasonally in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Colonies
Authors: Özkırım Asli , Schiesser Aygün , Keskin Nevіn
Published: February 2019

Nosema apis is a pathogen spesific for the European honeybee, Apis mellifera L., while Nosema ceranae is specific for the Asian honeybee, Apis cerana. Turkey provides different environmental and host conditions for both Nosema species. The aim of the study is to determine the dynamic of N. cerenae and N. apis seasonal infection. A number of samples were collected from different apiaries between 2009-2016 years. The samples were kept at −20°C in the laboratory. Light microscopy was used for spore counting and molecular techniques were used to identify the Nosema species. The results showed that winter season had an impact on the type of Nosema as well as on infection rates. The number of N. ceranae spores decreases significantly at low temperatures (≤ 5°C). The winter period was found to be the main factor affecting nosema infection level and dominancy of Nosema ceranae. Furthermore, co-infection of both species is an indicator of the dynamics of N. apis and N. ceranae. This study suggests, that there is a dynamic prevalence among the Nosema species depending of the average winter temperature and not a replacement of N. apis by N. ceranae.

Published: February 2019

Quality of care in medicine is not necessarily proportional to quantity of care and excess is often useless or even more, potentially detrimental to our patients. Adhering to the European Federation of Internal Medicine’s initiative, the Romanian Society of Internal Medicine (SRMI) launched the Choosing Wisely in Internal Medicine Campaign, aiming to cut down diagnostic procedures or therapeutics overused in our country. A Working Group was formed and from 200 published recommendations from previous international campaigns, 36 were voted as most important. These were submitted for voting to the members of the SRMI and posted on a social media platform. After the two voting rounds, the top six recommendations were established.

These were:

1. Stop medicines when no further benefit is achieved or the potential harms outweigh the potential benefits for the individual patient.

2. Don’t use antibiotics in patients with recent C. difficile without convincing evidence of need.

3. Don’t regularly prescribe bed rest and inactivity following injury and/or illness unless there is scientific evidence that harm will result from activity. Promote early mobilization.

4. Don’t initiate an antibiotic without an identified indication and a predetermined length of treatment or review date.

5. Don’t prescribe opioids for treatment of chronic or acute pain for sensitive jobs such as operating motor vehicles, forklifts, cranes or other heavy equipment.

6. Transfuse red cells for anemia only if the hemoglobin concentration is less than 7 g/dL or if the patient is hemodynamically unstable or has significant cardiovascular or respiratory comorbidity. Don’t transfuse more units of blood than absolutely necessary.

Published: February 2019

PSO PT Pelni mulai diberikan oleh pemerintah tahun 2003. Awalnya anggaran yang disediakan sekitar Rp80 miliar dan dalam satu dasawarsa meningkat menjadi Rp726,5 miliar. Dalam pelaksanaan PSO, PT Pelni sering melebihi anggaran yang disediakan APBN. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hasil pemeriksaan BPK yang menunjukkan bahwa PT Pelni dalam melakukan penugasan justru melebihi pagu besaran PSO yang ditetapkan dalam APBN. Penyebabnya adalah (i) penyusunan biaya pokok penyediaan PSO belum sesuai dengan kondisi perekonomian, dan (ii) aturan yang membatasi bahwa bila ada kekurangan pembayaran akibat pelaksanaan PSO tidak dapat ditagihkan ke APBN. Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah menganalisis komponen biaya dan memformulasikan biaya pokok penyediaan (BPP) PSO Pelni kelas ekonomi. Adapun metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penyusunan biaya pokok direflesikan dengan Subsidi diperoleh dari selisih tarif yang ditetapkan pemerintah dengan tarif yang diusulkan PT Pelni. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa penyusunan biaya yang realistis dan mendekati aspek keekonomian mulai terlihat dalam APBN 2015 bahwa alokasi PSO Pelni sebesar Rp1,60 triliun. Untuk itu, dimasa mendatang, Pemerintah perlu merevisi Peraturan Menteri Perhubungan (PM) nomor 57 tahun 2006 dan Peraturan Menteri Keuangan (PMK) nomor 173 tahun 2013 agar parameter dan indikator penentu biaya-biaya kategori PSO dapat disusun dengan transparan dan akuntabel serta menghindari multi interpretasi dari semua pihak.

The purpose of the study is to determine the specific character of the evolvement of the motif of memory in H. Pahutiak’s novelette “The Mustard Seed”, find out its correlation with the category “sacrum” and identify the neo-mythological strategies, used by the author. The research focuses on the writer’s representing the lost sacredness of the concept “family” and the destruction of traditional relationships between generations as a spiritual crisis of the modern civilization. The paper examines the connection of the motif of memory with the characters of Mykhailo Basarab and his son Hrytsko. It highlights the correlation of this motif with the opposition “sacrum-profanum” through the image of the Basarabs’ home which embodies the heredity of the Ukrainians’ cultural memory. The motifs of memory and identity are overlapped through the main character of Mykhailo whose identity is determined by his native village Urizh. The study looks at the elements of the author’s neo-myth about Urizh, the semantic dominant of which is the memory about ethnic cultural heritage. This neo-myth includes the legend about the twin-brothers who ploughed around the place where Urizh had to arise; the mystic story about three pear-trees marking the entrance to the other world; the narrative about the Lady with golden hair which are recurring in H. Pahutiak’s prose. The following

conclusions can be drawn from this study: correlating with the character of Mykhailo Basarab the motif of memory manifests the semantics of a life-giving force, spiritual energy, accumulated by the previous generations. In relation to the character of Hrytsko the motif of memory acquires tragic arrangement, since the refusal to contact with the family and its past is considered a loss of vitality causing death. The author’s neo-myth about Urizh is a means of constructing cultural memory about archaic traditions and rituals. The results will contribute to future research on similar topics.
LINGUISTIC REPRESENTATION OF CULTURAL IDENTITY AND OTHERNESS IN J.-M.G. LE CLEZIO’S NOVEL “DESERT”
Authors: Kulagina Olga
Published: February 2019

This paper deals with the linguistic representation of the opposition “migrant’s native culture — other culture” in contemporary French literature by the example of a Nobel prize winner J.-M. G. Le Clézio’s novel “Desert” (1980). A brief description of the period of French history when the novel was published is given; then we proceed to an analysis of the representation of the perception of both cultures (Moroccan as the native one and French as the other one), which goes through several stages: admiration “a priori” for a different culture under the influence of existing stereotypes, loss of cultural identity and adaptation to the otherness of French culture, gradual disappointment, escape from a different culture and return to the native cultural

identity. The most significant linguistic means for the image of each stage, as well as lexical fields, through which both cultures are represented, are revealed.
INTERMEDIAL COORDINATES OF ARTISTIC MODELING OF TRAUMATIC PAST IN M. BUBAK’S NOVEL “ALDER BLOOD”
Authors: Pidoprygora Svitlana
Published: February 2019

The article examines the intermedial coordinates of the artistic modeling of traumatic past in the novel

“Alder Blood” by the famous artist M. Babak.

Theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the work on the theory of intermediality (A. A. Hansen-Leo, V. Wolf, J. Muller, I. Raievskyi, S. Matsenko, V. Prosalova, I. Ilchuk). Since we are talking about the semantic and communicative potential of visual images in the structure of the work, we take into account the works of semiotics, whose representatives (R. Bart, W. Eco, C. Pearce) began to decipher, interpret cultural codes of visual images. In the artistic world of the novel “Alder blood” the codes of literature and fine arts, digital art interact.

Neo-Expressionism, Trans-Avant-garde author’s techniques reveals excessive emotionality, metaphorical, fragmentary, “curly” verbal text. The visual plan of the novel, apart from the verbal “picture”, the font expressiveness of the text, the presence of fragments that associated with methods of creation of visual

poetry, is characterized by the insertion into the artistic structure of the work of photo collages, graphic sketches. In the novel photography not only represents the past. Black and white rural photography, scanned, processed with the help of a technical photo editor, transformed into a collage element, complemented

with new meanings, turned into a work of digital art, means of comprehension and socio-political critique of important social and aesthetic issues.

The novel “Alder blood” with its genre and stylistic peculiarities is closer to the art-book, that combining in one work verbal and visual art. Modeling traumatic past in intermedial coordinates (media combination), the author makes an act not personal, but also national auto-therapy.
ORGANIZATION OF ARTISTIC SPACE IN THE NOVEL "VITA NOSTRA" BY M. AND S. DIACHENKO
Authors: Tsikavyi Serhii
Published: February 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of the space in the novel "Vita Nostra", written by M. and S. Diachenko - contemporary Ukrainian writers of fantastic literature. With the use of narratological and geo-poetical approaches, it was possible to determine the features of the world created in the work under consideration .  The main spatial frames are characterized, features of their narrative functions are defined. It is proven that destruction of the conventional features of "resort", "personal space" and "provincial city" is successive; in the novel "Vita Nostra" cultural-spatial correspondence of scrutinized topoi gives way to the development of other meanings: accordingly, "the test", "the house", "the metamorphosis". Fictitious cities in the novel (Thorpa and its implementation in hypertext reality) are separately analyzed. The indicative geo-poetical parameters of these topoi ae determined, special attention iss paid to the interpretation of the centrality  of the hypertext urban space - opposite to linearity of its empirical twin. Traits of deformation of spatiality under the influence of the heroine's metamorphosis are traced . It iss noted that the central fantastic assumption correlates with the specific parameters of space / place: subjectivity, repeatability, the inclusion of individual frames in the narrative universe, the blurring of boundaries between private and communal spaces. Further explications of study may be conducted both in extension of fantastic assumption problem in the novel and in attempts to extend the provided methods of analysis upon issue of fictional cities.
THE CAUSES OF AUTHOR-NARRATOR’S SOLITUDE IN N. D. THOREAU’S “WALDEN”
Authors: Litvinova Maryna , Ihoshev Kyrylo
Published: February 2019

In the article the authors consider the problem of solitude in the H. D. Thoreau’s work “Walden, or Life in the Woods” in the context of transcendental philosophy. The main principles of this philosophical trend are described and analyzed. Philosophic and aesthetic views of the American philosopher are analyzed. In this

work, a brief review of the works of predecessors on transcendentalism and Thoreau’s literary heritage is made. With the help of these theoretical and practical findings, the reasons for the author-narrator’s solitude in H. D. Thoreau’s book “Walden, or Life in the Woods” and how they affect the meaning of the work are identified and analyzed. As a result of the study, it is determined that “Walden” has a novelistic composition,

the plot unity of individual stories is provided by a single protagonist and the unity of place and time of action. The author of the work appeals to readers with the apology of social equality, self-reliance, simple life, “return to Nature” and the need for spiritual self-improvement.

Published: February 2019

La densidad de plantas o tallos es una variable de manejo agronómico asociada a la productividad de hortalizas bajo condiciones protegidas. La investigación se realizó con el objetivo de conocer la influencia de la densidad de plantas y poda de tallos sobre el crecimiento de planta y rendimiento de frutos de pepino cultivado bajo condiciones de invernadero. Se usó el diseño de bloques completos al azar en arreglo factorial, con dos niveles cada factor: densidad de plantas (1.68 y 2.22 plantas/m2) y poda de tallos (uno y dos tallos/planta). Los tratamientos: T1) 1.68 plantas/m2 con poda a un tallo/planta, T2) 1.68 plantas/m2 con poda a dos tallos/planta, T3) 2.22 plantas/m2 con poda a un tallo/planta y T4) 2.22 plantas/m2 con poda a dos tallos/planta, se establecieron con cuatro repeticiones. Los resultados indicaron que la biomasa fresca de tallo/planta y seca de hojas/planta disminuyó al aumentar la densidad de plantas, pero aumentó en las plantas con poda a dos tallos/planta. La longitud de tallo, biomasa seca de tallo, hojas/planta, biomasa fresca de hojas/planta y producción de flores/planta también aumentaron con dos tallos/planta, mientras que el verdor foliar disminuyó, pero sin influencia en esas variables por la densidad de plantas. Ambos factores ocasionaron disminución en el diámetro de fruto. No obstante, los mejores rendimientos de pepino: total (112.8 t ha-1), selecto (22.4 t ha-1) y súper selecto (53.6 t ha-1), fueron positivamente influidos tanto por la densidad de plantas como por la poda de tallos.

Las características fisicoquímicas de los tubérculos de papa se han visto disminuidas por la presencia de la enfermedad de la punta morada (PMP). Actualmente, el uso de mallas antiáfidos es una estrategia que permite proteger a las plantas de los insectos que transmiten la PMP. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar las características fisicoquímicas de tubérculos de papa y sus frituras, producidos con y sin la protección de una malla antiafidos en Metepec Estado de México. Se estudiaron cinco genotipos (Fianna, Nau, 5-10, 8-65, 99-39). La malla antiáfidos redujo en 34.5 % la radiación fotosintéticamente activa y consecuentemente redujo la acumulación de almidón y el rendimiento de papas fritas. La PMP infectó las plantas que no se cubrieron, por lo que los tubérculos presentaron manchado interno y mayor contenido de azúcares reductores (19.67 g kg-1) que los tubérculos de plantas cubiertas (4.77 g kg-1); sin embargo, en ambas condiciones los tubérculos tuvieron contenidos similares de compuestos fenólicos totales. La protección de las plantas con malla antiáfidos podría ser una alternativa para producir tubérculos con calidad aceptable para el consumo en fresco y la producción de papas fritas.
The Terrestrialization of Amphibious Life in a Danube Delta 'Town on Water'
Authors: Richardson Tanya
Published: February 2019

The Danube Delta town of Vilkovo is often called the ‘Ukrainian Venice’ because of its 40 kilometers of canals. Many of these canals, however, are rapidly filling in with silt and are often impassible by boat. Tourism entrepreneurs and town administrators have begun lobbying for funding for a large-scale canal restoration project and for the town’s designation as a heritage site. Their tourism-development narratives, however, often overlook or simplify a complex set of social and environmental factors that have shaped residents’ past and present relationships with the Danube River. This article counters this tendency by providing an ethnographic portrait of terrestrialization—a term I use to name the confluence of geomorphological, ecological and social change in Vilkovo—that draws on townspeople’s descriptions of their dwelling practices. It combines insights from amphibious anthropology and social science literature on water infrastructure in order to pinpoint issues that need to be addressed in developing the town’s tourist economy, and makes the case for including studies of terrestrialization as part of an amphibious anthropology.
