PARTIAL PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF AN EXTRACELLULAR METALLOPEPTIDASE PRODUCED BY Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FE-K1
Authors: EREM Fundagül , İNAN Mehmet , KARAKAŞ BUDAK Barçın , CERTEL Muharrem
Published: April 2020

The aim of this study was to purify and characterize the peptidase of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Fukumoto) (strain FE-K1) isolated from ropey bread. Peptidases were purified from crude enzyme solution by affinity chromatography with an efficiency of 25 % and a purification coefficient of 1.53. The optimum pH of partially purified peptidase (PPPase) solution was determined as 7.5 and the peptidases retained approximately 90 % of their initial activity in the pH range 7.0-8.5 following incubation at 37°C for 2 h. The optimum temperature for the PPPase was 60°C. The approximate molecular weight of the PPPase was determined as 36 kDa. Inactivation of the PPPase in the presence of O-FEN and EDTA showed them to be metallopeptidases and 5 mM of K+1 and 5 mM of Mn+2 ions increased the enzyme activity by 4 % and 6.15 %, respectively. The presence of Hg+2, Fe+3 and SDS (0.1-1.0 % w/v) caused inactivation whereas the enzyme retained most of its activity in the presence of 0.1-1.0 % (v/v) Triton X-100, Tween 20 and Tween 80 and 1-20 % (v/v) xylene, ethanol, acetone and acetonitrile. Characterization of the PPPase revealed the enzyme as a neutral serine metallopeptidase compatible with some organic solvents and surfactants.
Introduction

Published: April 2020

More than one century ago, in a revolutionary piece of prose, D. H. Lawrence wrote: “And barrenly, the professors in their gowns offered commercial commodity that could be turned to good account in the examination room; ready-made stuff too, and not really worth the money it was intended to fetch; which they all knew” ([1914] 1995: 367). One of the most important challenges facing the world today is educating the leaders of today and tomorrow. In order to avoid blind reproduction, as implied in the opening quote by D.H. Lawrence, and to create challenging vistas, these leaders should be equipped with a holistic understanding of the concepts, values and principles of collaboration and sustainable tourism development. The reader is hereby challenged not only to think about the means to current problem solving but to reflect philosophically upon processes and ethics in the context of desirable futures with others. Reflecting upon the kind of tourism we wish to have does not imply moving away from one’s own, or industry’s, needs and demands of the market place, nor of meeting those of society. More funda- mentally it raises the issues of stewardship, the kind of tourism to be developed, by whom, how it should be governed, and what the objectives behind these activities should be.
Voluntourism and the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Devereux Peter , Holmes Kirsten
Published: April 2020

Volunteer tourism or voluntourism has become an extremely popular form of tourism as well as attracting significant and growing academic attention (Wearing & McGehee, 2013). In 2001 Wearing defined volunteer tourism (drawing on his own research in community based ecotourism and volunteer tourism in Costa Rica) as: “those tourists who, for various reasons, volunteer in an organized way to undertake holidays that might involve aiding or alleviating the material poverty of some groups in society, the restoration of certain environments, or research into aspects of society or environment” (Wearing, 2001:1). The significant growth in academic interest in the topic is reflected in a web of science search for volunteer tourism peer reviewed literature which counts 1 for 2001, 4 for 2008, 15 for 2013 and 41 for 2016 and the publication of a review paper in the leading journal Tourism Management (Wearing & McGehee, 2013) and several journal special issues.
Work Life Balance for Sustainable Tourism Development
Authors: Deery Margaret , Jago Leo , Harris Candice , Liburd Janne
Published: April 2020

The tourism and hospitality industry is very much a ‘people industry’, which requires a stable and talented workforce as a fundamental component. However, there are some aspects of the industry that make it unattractive to potential employees. These aspects include the long and unsocial hours of work, the low pay and often stressful working environment (Deery and Jago, 2015: Karatepe, 2013). These aspects contribute to the industry’s reputation for not providing staff with an acceptable work-life balance. The question then becomes how the tourism and hospitality industry can contribute to a better balance and thus underpin the socio-cultural aspects of sustainability. This study examines the sustainability of the industry across three countries, Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and New Zealand, by focusing on whether tourism employees in hospitality organisations consider they have a balance between their personal and work lives. Hospitality is chosen as the focus for this study since it plays a fundamentally important role in underpinning the viability of the broader tourism industry. Current practices are confronted by larger societal changes in the labour market, where lifelong careers within the same firm (or industry) are challenged by rapid employee turnover, demands for greater flexibility, new technologies, and alternative work schedules. We discuss how collaboration between industry, employees and wider community may help underpin sustainable tourism development.
The Collaborative Economy, Tourism and Sustainable Development
Authors: Dredge Dianne , Meehan Eóin
Published: April 2020

This chapter explores the collaborative economy, tourism and sustainability. The emergence of the digital collaborative economy has had profound transformative effects on the structure, organisation and business logics underpinning contemporary tourism (Dredge & Gyimóthy, 2017). It is opening up new business opportunities and livelihoods traditionally inaccessible to many individuals, and is driving deep transformation within existing industry practices. It is, however, not as new as many advocates claim, and can be best understood as an old economic model that has been transformed by the digitalisation processes associated with Industry 4.0 (Gilchrist, 2016; Smit et al., 2016). The collaborative economy has been claimed to be more sustainable than traditional business practices by lowering consumption and using existing resources more effectively (Botsman & Rogers, 2010). However, there is little evidence to support these claims, and for a variety of reasons, it has been difficult to undertake research to verify such assertions (Dredge & Gyimóthy, 2015). What is clear however, is that the collaborative economy is responsible for wide-ranging social and economic impacts and has proven to be very difficult to regulate. Despite these potential concerns, all indications are that it will continue to expand unabated. The impact and effects of the growth of the collaborative economy on sustainability is, therefore, a major issue that warrants further investigation.
A Case Study in Collaborative Supplier Partnerships
Authors: Foley Carmel , Edwards Deborah , Harrison Bronwen
Published: April 2020

Globally there are hundreds of convention centres, which host more than 24,000 different association meetings each year (International Congress and Convention Association, 2016). Unlike the hotel sector (Bohdanowicz-Godfrey, 2013) and tourism operations sector (Carlsen & Edwards, 2013a) which have documented “practices towards more sustainable modes of operation” (Carlsen & Edwards, 2013a: 33), little has been documented in the research literature about the collaborative potentials of a convention centre to deliver benefits beyond tourist visitation (Edwards et al., 2014; Mair & Jago, 2010). This case study makes a contribution to this research gap by examining a convention centre, International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), with significant purchasing power to work with and influence suppliers in a backward supply chain. ICC Sydney’s Feeding Your Performance (FYP) initiative encourages environmentally sustainable behaviour as part of its organisational practices and supports and collaborates with a range of suppliers who are working to improve the agricultural ecosystems in their farming areas. Ecosystem is defined as “the minimum aggregated set of processes (including biochemical, biophysical and biological ones) that ensure the biological productivity, organisational integrity and perpetuation of the ecosystem” (Swift et al., 2004:115).

Published: April 2020

In developing students’ potential requires, among others, psycho-education services. This effort can be provided not only by counselor but also by subject teachers at school. This research is aimed at investigating subject teachers’ perceptions of academic guidance and counseling services provided by the teachers to students who had learning difficulties. Employing descriptive method, this research involved fifty counseling and guidance teachers to participate as research participants. To collect data, paper- and online-based questionnaires were used. The data gathered were then categorized and analyzed. The results indicated that the majority of the subject teachers have sufficient understanding on their roles in substantially providing academic guidance and counseling related to the students’ academic problems. In addition, it was found that the counseling teachers always give the students referral to their respective teachers whenever the students get learning difficulties.
BASE NACIONAL COMUM CURRICULAR: CIÊNCIAS E MULTICULTURALISMO
Authors: Cabral Lucas Munhoz , Jordão Rosana Dos Santos
Published: April 2020

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular é o documento que concretiza a atual política curricular em nosso país, por meio da seleção de um conjunto de aprendizagens essenciais à formação básica. Dada a sua relevância educacional, neste artigo analisamos a versão final desse documento, publicada em 2018, com o objetivo de verificarmos se elementos do multiculturalismo estão contemplados em seu texto geral e na parte específica da área de Ciências da Natureza. Para tanto, foram selecionados excertos que faziam menção aos fundamentos éticos e a tratamentos direcionados à pluralidade e foi feita a análise das habilidades designadas para a área da Ciências da Natureza Ensino Fundamental I e II. Como resultado, identificamos que, embora a BNCC utilize argumentos pautados na defesa da igualdade de direitos às diversidades, apenas 1% das habilidades para as Ciências utilizam verbos associados à aprendizagem de valores. Além disso, a presença de habilidades potencialmente muito associadas ao multiculturalismo foi considerada reduzida e, em certos casos, superficial. Essa participação tímida do multiculturalismo na Base é um resultado preocupante, revelando o quão distante estamos de abordamos o pluralismo além de um mero acordo moral.
GESTÃO CURRICULAR NO ENSINO SUPERIOR: CONTEXTOS DE DESENVOLVIMENTO
Authors: Silva Itamar Mendes da , Najjar Jorge Nassim Vieira , Lima Marcelo
Published: April 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a gestão de currículo no Ensino Superior, por meio da descrição e da análise dos processos coletivos, internos e sistemáticos de revisão de currículos empreendidos na Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Ufes). O desenvolvimento das reflexões requereu tomar como ponto de partida a Universidade, tendo em vista sua criação, seu conceito e suas perspectivas. Discutir o currículo em seus contextos, caminhos e descaminhos, em uma instituição universitária pública, localizada no menor e menos rico Estado do Sudeste, como é essa proposta, exigiu tecer considerações sobre: a) conceito, significado e possibilidades organizativas do Currículo no Ensino Superior e, especificamente, na universidade; b) caminhos e perspectivas da Ufes no processo de organização de currículo. Assim, as reflexões consideraram esses elementos e foram realizadas a partir do exame de documentos e do conteúdo de entrevista. O estudo possibilitou concluir que se faz necessário problematizar a pseudoneutralidade dos indicadores educacionais, sua capacidade de indução de práticas curriculares no Ensino Superior; problematizar a expropriação da autonomia curricular dos docentes e sua responsabilização pelos resultados educacionais; e, também, afirmar o caráter contraditório dos processos coletivos e colegiados de decisão curricular nas relações com os sujeitos individuais e coletivos responsáveis por conceber, elaborar, praticar e avaliar o currículo no Ensino Superior.
AUTONARRATIVAS COMO AUTO-CONHECIMENTO: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA DIDÁTICA NA PERSPECTIVA DA COMPLEXIDADE
Authors: Pellanda Nize , Piccinin Fabiana
Published: April 2020

Este artigo discute a narrativa como ação/configuração do pensar e do sentir e as potencialidades que porta no sentido epistêmico e ontogênico. Com isso, pretende-se problematizar o conceito de cognição como representação de uma realidade objetiva divorciada da experiência individual, nos moldes propostos por Bateson (1990), Espinosa (1983) e Morin (2010). Na complexidade, considera-se o processo de aprendizagem de forma indissociável da ontogênese de cada ser humano, entendendo o aprender como subjetivação. Do ponto de vista metodológico, procedeu-se a investigação a partir da experiência em sala de aula, com nove alunos da disciplina Epistemologia da Complexidade, de um Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras, cujas autonarrativas foram tratadas por meio do método cartográfico, que proporcionou a evidência de que o falar, emocionar e conhecer são tecidos juntos. Assim, a partir da meditação e do uso de koans, haicais e mandalas, as autonarrativas geradas evidenciaram a indissociabilidade da ontogênese e da constituição de si, em um contraponto ao paradigma linear e dicotômico da educação tradicional.
Ethics and reasonableness or how to live creatively
Authors: Boero Hedy
Published: April 2020

A história da ética filosófica é, em grande parte, uma tentativa de elucidar a maneira na qual os seres humanos podem fomentar um êthos, para atingir a própria plenitude. Fosse Peirce convidado a mostrar, primeiro, o que ele entendia pelo êthos do filósofo ou do cientista, ele responderia facilmente que é a busca por um ideal e verdades eternas, isto é, a própria razoabilidade que rege o universo. Fosse ele questionado, logo após, o que o êthos dos seres humanos é, em geral, quer dizer, o que guia e dá sentido à vida de cada pessoa, sua resposta não diferiria muito da anterior: todos os seres humanos, por meio de suas ações concretas, devem encarnar a razoabilidade, o ideal admirável ou o summum bonum em suas próprias vidas. A resposta bem conhecida de Peirce contém uma visão criativa muito profunda da vida ética: esta é a construção progressiva e contínua de diversas possibilidades de ação, por meio da qual cada pessoa configura seu próprio êthos, segundo esse fim admirável, que é uma representação daquilo que seria uma vida boa, desejável e próspera. Isto pode não parecer original no contexto da história da ética filosófica – Aristóteles já tinha dito algo semelhante. Entretanto, há duas noções muito ricas e sugestivas no pensamento de Peirce, as quais podem sem dúvida ser recuperadas, visto que elas podem contribuir de maneira significativa para essa reflexão, a saber: a razoabilidade e a abdução. Como tentarei mostrar, para Peirce viver eticamente é viver criativamente.
Impactos das tecnologias informacionais de comunicação na conduta: contribuições da teoria peirciana de informação
Authors: Vicentini Max Rogério , Pascoal Valdirene A. , Gonzalez Maria Eunice Q.
Published: April 2020

O objetivo do presente artigo é desenvolver uma reflexão acerca de relações existentes entre informação e ação, no contexto das tecnologias informacionais de comunicação (TICs). O problema central que guiará o artigo pode ser assim formulado: Qual é a influência da informação disponível nas TICs na ação autônoma? O direcionamento de pesquisas em relação ao conceito de informação possui geralmente uma orientação técnica, não focalizando questões éticas, ontológicas e epistemológicas, que são igualmente relevantes ao se tratar desse conceito. Em contraste com a orientação técnica vigente, ressaltamos a abordagem proposta por Charles S. Peirce, que caracteriza informação a partir de diferentes perspectivas: lógico-semântica, pragmática e semiótica. Partindo da hipótese que processos informacionais têm uma participação fundamental no direcionamento da ação, investigamos impactos das TICs presentes nas relações cotidianas. Discutimos transformações que as TICs têm possibilitado na relação agente-ambiente, ressaltando recursos computacionais de mineração de dados, que propiciam ações, muitas vezes direcionadas por interesses alheios àqueles dos usuários. Argumentamos que o estudo da informação é importante para entender possíveis implicações das TICs no direcionamento da ação humana.
Particle size partitioning of metals in humus horizons of two small erosional landforms in the middle Protva basin – a comparative study
Authors: Samonova Olga A. , Aseyeva Elena N.
Published: April 2020

Partitioning of metals in soil particles of various size classes has been receiving greater significance due to the necessity to predict the behaviour and pathways of the potentially toxic elements in the environment. In this study the analysis of metals’ distribution in various particle size fractions was performed to characterize and compare geochemical features of the topsoil horizons of two small erosional landforms located in uncontaminated area of the central part of European Russia (the Middle Protva basin, mixed forest zone). The landforms represent two typical lithological types of gullies in the study area. Soil samples were fractionated and the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Ti, Zr, Ni, Co, Cr, Zn, Cu, Pb were determined in five particle size fractions: 1–0.25, 0.25-0.05, 0.05−0.01, 0.01–0.001 and <0.001 mm. The metals’ concentrations and their distribution in various particle sizes were found to be related to gully litho-type. The contribution of the clay to the total amount of metals was the greatest for Mn, Zn, Ni and Co in both systems. The highest mass loading for Ti, Zr and Cr came from the coarse silt, while for Cu and Pb it was made by different particle size fractions: the medium and fine silt or the coarse silt. The highest contribution of Fe also came from different fractions, either from the coarse sand or the clay depending on the system.
European countries’ typology by the intensity of transboundary cooperation and its impact on the economic complexity level
Authors: Roos Göran , Voloshenko Ksenia Y. , Drok Tatiana E. , Zverev Yury M.
Published: April 2020

Over recent years, it has become increasingly obvious that the countries, regions and individual systems are now developing within the framework of the emerging technological paradigm. The key elements for their development are knowledge and capabilities, being transformed into the products exported by a given country, these constitute the core of the economic complexity theory. In this article, the authors attempt to assess the long-term correlations between economic complexity and transboundary intensity drawing on the example of European countries. The authors developed a European Countries’ Typology according to their transboundary cooperation intensity. The paper establishes that the influence of the transboundary factor weakens as the economic complexity increases, and under certain conditions, it has a negative impact. It substantiates that the revealed relationships are due to the increasing role of global processes rather than transboundary ones as the economy becomes more complex and oriented towards the global market.
Transboundary regions of East Asia: geographical and political preconditions and limitations to long-term development
Authors: Baklanov P. Ya. , Romanov M. T.
Published: April 2020

The contradictory integrity of globalization and regionalization processes in the modern world has been embodied in the formation of specific spatial areas – multiscale cross-border regions, whose functioning and development are determined both by the interactions between neighboring countries and by the totality of external geopolitical and geoeconomic circumstances. The article is devoted to the factors and features of cross-border processes and socio-economic development within one of the largest and most dynamic structures of modern Eurasia – the Greater Macro-Region of East Asia, embracing the northeastern and eastern territories of Russia, eastern China, Japan, and both Korean republics, Vietnam, and a number of other countries facing the seas of the northwestern Pacific. The integrity of this vast and very heterogeneous macro-region ranging from Chukotka to the Philippine Sea is based on relatively stable cross-border relations, which, in turn, are one of the determinants of these territories’ development. The role of geographical prerequisites (geographical location, climatic conditions, natural resources of land and sea) and geopolitical factors (geopolitical location and crossborder features) in the long-term development of this macro-region is assessed. It is shown that both favorable and negative prerequisites are associated with the cross-border nature of the integrated geosystems, including the marine ecosystems. Various types of cross-border regions with two-, three-, and four-link territorial segments belonging to different countries have been identified. The geopolitical potential of countries and regions is assessed, and the zones of geopolitical tension are revealed.
Mortality from cardiovascular diseases in the municipalities of mainland Portugal: spatiotemporal evolution between 1991 and 2017
Authors: Almendra Ricardo , Santana Paula
Published: April 2020

During the last decades, important efforts have been taken to tackle cardiovascular diseases, which resulted in important mortality and disability decreases. Despite this, cardiovascular diseases are still one of the major causes of death in Portugal. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyse the evolution of the spatial pattern of deaths by cardiovascular diseases, between 1991 and 2017, identifying areas of high risk, and its variation, in the 278 municipalities of Continental Portugal.

Secondary data on annual resident population and deaths by cardiovascular diseases (International Classification of Diseases 10th revision: I00-I99) was collected from the Portuguese National Statistics for the municipalities of Portugal Mainland, from the period under analysis.

To identify areas with significant high and low risk of mortality by cardiovascular diseases, towards time and space, and areas with significantly high or low temporal trends, retrospective spatial-temporal cluster and a spatial variation in temporal trends analysis were conducted.

In the spatial-temporal analysis 3 clusters of high risk and two of low risk were identified; municipalities forming the clusters of high risk tend to have rural characteristics while the municipalities in the clusters of low risk are located in the two metropolitan areas. The majority of the municipalities forming the clusters of low risk also present higher decreasing trends than the country average.

The results presented can contribute to support the development of future interventions on cardiovascular mortality.
Bases neuroeducativas do papel das ilustrações: uma proposta de análise de livro didático
Authors: Silva Kleyfton , Fonseca Laerte
Published: April 2020

As ilustrações em livros didáticos são recursos importantes para a compreensão do estudante sobre o que elas representam. As cores, a qualidade e o nível de representação da ilustração podem facilitar ou dificultar o entendimento da sua mensagem. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi construir uma ficha de análise de ilustrações de livros didáticos com base em princípios de aprendizagem que consideram o funcionamento cognitivo relativo à atenção e à memória. Inspirou-se nos procedimentos metodológicos adotados por Silva e Fonseca (2015, 2017), que consideraram: identificar justificativas teóricas que auxiliem no entendimento da aprendizagem por meio de ilustrações; definir as categorias de análise; e testar a ficha de análise por meio da avaliação de um capítulo de livro de matemática do 1º ano do ensino médio. O referencial teórico consistiu de abordagens educativas discutidas pelas áreas da psicologia, como a Teoria da Aprendizagem Multimídia e alguns princípios que a sustentam, bem como de noções da neurociência cognitiva quanto às funções cognitivas “atenção” e “memória”. A ficha de análise se mostrou funcional, podendo ser aplicada em diversos contextos que envolvam a avaliação de aspectos gráficos em livros didáticos.
L’interazione tra i due punti e i connettivi nella scrittura italiana contemporanea. Il caso di "infatti" e "perché"
Authors: Rosi Benedetta , Stojmenova Roska
Published: April 2020

Abstrakt

L’obiettivo del presente contributo consiste nel riflettere sul valore semantico della combinazione dei due punti con i connettivi. A questo fine, lavoriamo a partire da dati ricavati da corpora di italiano scritto funzionale, tra cui PUNT-IT, CORIS e Corpus la Repubblica, e ci concentriamo sui costrutti ‘p: infatti q’ e ‘p: perché q’. Vedremo in particolare che l’influenza vicendevole tra il connettivo e i due punti può interessare la natura concettuale della relazione logico-semantica o la sua portata. Per quanto riguarda il costrutto ‘p: perché q’, ci soffermeremo, infine, su alcune particolari configurazioni sintattico-semantiche.

Zależność pomiędzy dwukropkiem i spójnikami we włoskiej pisowni współczesnej: "infatti" i "perché"

Celem niniejszej pracy jest analiza znaczeń semantycznych rodzących się w przypadku połączenia dwukropka z różnymi spójnikami. Analiza, oparta na danych pochodzących z korpusów włoskiego języka pisanego, takich jak PUNT-IT, CORIS i korpusu dziennika La Repubblica, koncentruje się na konstrukcjach zdaniowych ‘p: infatti q’ [p: gdyż q] oraz ‘p: perché q’ [p: ponieważ q]. Zostanie pokazane w szczególności, że wzajemne oddziaływanie między spójnikiem i dwukropkiem może wpływać na rodzaj relacji semantyczno-logicznej lub na jej zasięg. W przypadku konstrukcji zdaniowej ‘p: perché q’ analizie poddane zostaną wybrane struktury składniowo-semantyczne.
Interferenze della filosofia buddista in "Per Isabel". "Un mandala" di Tabucchi
Authors: Park Moonjung
Published: April 2020

Abstrakt

In Per Isabel. Un Mandala Tabucchi ha completato la trilogia del tema dell’inquietudine, del rimorso e della riflessione dei moderni insieme a Requiem e Notturno Indiano, interiorizzando i contenuti orientali in maniera più capillare e proponendo singolari combinazioni con la filosofia occidentale, nonché inedite soluzioni esistenziali e letterarie. In Per Isabel. un Mandala la riflessione di Tabucchi si concentra sui personaggi che si confrontano con il dolore interiore cercando la verità attraverso la quale si può essere ‘guariti’ da tale sofferenza ontologica. Ma dal momento che un tale percorso avviene all’interno di uno spazio letterario, appare indispensabile, secondo Tabucchi, che i lettori, per attingere alla verità nascosta – ossia per affrontare il vero Sé – intraprendano, all’interno del testo narrativo, un vero e proprio viaggio, la cui meta sarà il conseguimento del Nirvana. Ecco dunque che in quest’ottica anche le opere di Tabucchi possono essere lette come un Mandala, ovvero una sorta di mappa concettuale e letteraria offerta ai lettori come guida all’illuminazione.

Echa filozofii buddyjskiej w "Per Isabel". "Un Mandala" Antonia Tabucchiego

Dziełem Per Isabel. Un Mandala kończy Tabucchi trylogię poświęconą tematyce niepokoju, wyparcia i refleksji nad nowoczesnością, której dwie poprzednie części to Requiem i Notturno indiano. Treści orientalne ujęte są w nim w sposób bardziej aluzyjny i subtelny, w oryginalnym stylu przedstawiony jest też ich związek z filozofią zachodnią, całość zaś prezentuje niespotykane dotychczas rozwiązania literackie i wątki egzystencjalne. W Per Isabel. Un Mandala Tabucchi koncentruje się na bohaterach, którzy konfrontują się z wewnętrznym bólem poszukując prawdy, będącej w stanie wyleczyć ich z egzystencjalnego cierpienia. Z uwagi jednak na fakt, iż poszukiwanie to ma miejsce w przestrzeni literackiej niezbędnym okazuje się, by czytelnicy, chcący dostąpić ukrytej prawdy, również odbyli narracyjną podróż, której celem jest osiągnięcie Nirwany. W tej właśnie perspektywie dzieła Tabucchiego można odczytywać jako mandalę, swego rodzaju literacką mapę oferowaną czytelnikowi jako przewodnik ku oświeceniu.

Włochy – widziane na ogół przez pryzmat estetycznych i kulturowych stereotypów stają się przestrzenią inicjacji, opuszczaną po swoistej przemianie. Mogą też stać się domem. Ważne jest to, że Italia jawi się tu jako przestrzeń wyjątkowa i pożądana.
La concettualizzazione metaforica delle emozioni nella lingua italiana
Authors: Bocian Edyta
Published: April 2020

Abstrakt

L’obiettivo dell’articolo è quello di analizzare i mezzi metaforici esistenti nella lingua italiana volti a verbalizzare le emozioni. L’analisi è stata effettuata ricorrendo alla teoria cognitiva della metafora di Lakoff e Johnson su un corpus che consta di risorse metaforiche convenzionali presenti nei dizionari italiani monolingue. Nello specifico si è cercato di delineare un quadro della concettualizzazione emotiva in italiano, riflettendo su problematiche quali i domini origine adoperati, i possibili limiti posti alla concettualizzazione, nonché l’immagine linguistica che scaturisce dalle emozioni.

Celem artykułu było dokonanie analizy metaforycznych środków ekspresji dostępnych w języku włoskim w obrębie werbalizacji emocjonalnej. Analiza ta została przeprowadzona przy odwołaniu do kognitywnej teorii metafory Lakoffa i Johnsona oraz w oparciu o korpus obejmujący konwencjonalne zasoby metaforyczne odnotowane we włoskich słownikach jednojęzycznych. W szczególności, Autorka skupiła się na odzwierciedleniu konceptualizacji emocjonalnej w języku włoskim, snując refleksję nad takimi problemami jak: domeny źródłowe, możliwe ograniczenia w ramach metaforycznego rzutowania oraz językowy obraz emocji.
Cicli lessicali nei nomi deverbali in "-mento" e "-zione"
Authors: Insacco Gioia
Published: April 2020

Abstrakt Spesso i nomi deverbali – oltre al significato trasposizionale del verbo di base – sviluppano in diacronia dei ‘cicli lessicali’ (Simone 2000), ovvero estensioni semantiche sistematiche, regolari e gerarchiche. Il meccanismo retorico che opera nei cicli lessicali è la metonimia: essa converte, per contiguità, in entità linguistiche gli argomenti reali, quelli di default e quelli creati per mezzo di un dispositivo metonimico. I nomi deverbali, infatti, procedendo in modo regolare attivano in primis i significati relativi ai sottoeventi, successivamente quelli relativi ai ruoli della struttura argomentale e, infine, quelli degli argomenti metonimici. Cykle leksykalne w tworzeniu rzeczowników odczasownikowych zakończonych na "-mento" oraz "-zione" Często rzeczowniki odczasownikowe – poza znaczeniem transpozycyjnym czasownika – rozwijają na poziomie diachronicznym tzw. „cykle leksykalne” (Simone 2000), a więc systematyczne rozszerzenia semantyczne, regularne i hierarchiczne. Mechanizmem retorycznym działającym w cyklach leksykalnych jest metonimia: to ona, z uwagi na relację przyległości, przekształca w jednostki językowe argumenty rzeczywiste, te domyślne oraz te utworzone przy pomocy mechanizmu metonimicznego. Zatem rzeczowniki odczasownikowe aktywują regularnie w pierwszej kolejności znaczenia odnoszące się do pod-zdarzeń, następnie znaczenia odnoszące się do funkcji struktury argumentowej, a na koniec, te związane z argumentami metonimicznymi.
Punteggiatura: norme, tendenze e complessità. I casi del punto e della virgola

La adscripción provisional como forma de provisión de puestos de trabajo del personal funcionario de carrera
Authors: Gil Franco Agustín
Published: April 2020

Las formas de provisión de puestos para el personal funcionario de carrera en la función pública tienen dos fórmulas básicas y generales para todas y cada de las Administraciones públicas: el concurso y la libre designación. Sin embargo, la adscripción provisional ha ido ganando terreno como forma provisoria no sólo porque es un instrumento fundamental en el uso de las potestades de organización de cada Administración sino porque también tiene un contenido de garantía en los derechos de los funcionarios y de protección en su carrera administrativa. Hemos querido repasar la regulación de la adscripción provisional y reparar en sus características principales para concluir que es una forma de provisión con contornos propios y plenamente asentada en nuestro ordenamiento.

El estudio compara los sistemas de gobierno local en Canadá y en España. El análisis se centra en cinco ámbitos significativos: estructura de la planta local;  autonomía;  democracia;  forma de gobierno; y financiación. Aunque inicialmente se podría pensar que los regímenes locales en ambos países son muy distantes, visto con más profundidad hay tanto diferencias claras (en la planta local, las formas democráticas y la forma de gobierno) como también similitudes importantes: en el nivel de autonomía local real y en el sistema financiero.

Hybrid warfare: a new word in military art or the well forgotten new?
Authors: Tikhanychev Oleg Vasilyevich
Published: April 2020

The author examines the aspect of one of the military strategies – the so-called “hybrid warfare”. Analysis is conducted on the key components of “hybrid” actions. Examination of historical allows concluding that these approaches have deep historical roots. This refers not to the classical mercenary, but namely to “hybrid” actions, when the contractor and purpose of mercenaries are hidden, and military actions are accompanied by economic confrontation and mass cyber-attacks. The author carries out component-wise analysis for understanding the nature of emergence and waging of “hybrid” warfare at different historical stages. Based on the experience of conducting warfare and armed conflicts, the conclusion is made that the threat of “hybrid” actions is extremely relevant currently and in the foreseeable future. Moreover, the author determines that other previously existing but modified with consideration of new factors of civilizational development “hybrid” approaches towards organization of inter-state confrontation may be implemented. The need to ensure readiness of the Russian Federation to parrying such threats is underlined.
Theoretical problems of legal definition of transport safety and adjacent categories
Authors: Iroshnikov Denis Vladimirovich
Published: April 2020

 This article carries out an in-depth scientific analysis of such legal concepts as “transport safety” and “safety of the transport system”, as well as sectoral concepts by type of transport “road-traffic safety”, “navigational safety” and “aviation safety”. The indicated types of safety are viewed based on such criteria and an object of protection, source of threat, as well as cross-system ties with other types of safety. The research demonstrates the vast differences between the objects of protection and sources of threats in these concepts. The methodology of this work consists in the method of formal logics, which allowed determining logical contradictions in the conceptual-categorical apparatus of transport safety, as well as systemic method for conducting systemic analysis of these types of safeties. The author makes a conclusion that the Federal Law “On Transport Safety” underlies anti-terrorism legislation, and is aimed only at combating acts of illegal intrusion into functionality of the transport system. Therefore, the legal definition of transport safety is also severely narrowed and includes one aspect from the multifaceted transport safety.

Published: April 2020

The traumatic macular hole is a rare pathology posterior to eye injuries, resulting in loss of visual acuity. It generally affects young men. The pathogenesis of macular hole formation after blunt trauma is today controversial. They frequently appear immediately after the injury, nevertheless in some cases can occur weeks later. The vision usually ranges between 20/80 and 20/400. The exploration typically shows a full-thickness defect of the neurosensory retina at the fovea, elliptical, and with irregular edges. The management can include observation under certain conditions because there is a chance of spontaneous closure. Surgery with vitrectomy obtains the closure of the hole in between 92% and 96% of cases.

Published: April 2020

A case report on a 49-year-old female with diagnoses of ocular hypertension in her left eye (LE) treated with 250 mg/day acetazolamide for 2 years. During the slit-lamp examination, complete occlusion of both iridocorneal angles was detected. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 10 and 35 mmHg in the right eye and LE, respectively. Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in the LE. After 1 month of the procedure, the patient developed a slowly progressive miopization from −1 to −3 diopters (D) the following months. Approximately 3 months after surgery, the patient developed an episode of acute pain, athalamia, and IOP 45 mmHg in her LE. Late-onset malignant glaucoma was suspected and the patient was treated with topical hypotensive and cycloplegic agent until a prompt vitrectomy was performed. Deepening of the anterior chamber and restoration of IOP to normal range was obtained after surgery.
Миокины
Authors: Paltsyn A.A.
Published: April 2020

Миокины - небольшие по массе пептиды, которые образуются, экспрессируются на поверхности и выделяются в кровоток мышечными волокнами. Оказывают аутокринное, паракринное и эндокринное действие, прежде всего на мышцы. Значение миокинов для медицины определяется тем, что мышцы самая крупная часть тела по массе и объему, что обеспечивает первую и главную для жизни функцию - движение. Все патологические процессы протекают с нарушением образования, распределения и взаимодействия миокинов с клетками - мишенями. Детализация этих процессов - тема большая и сложная. Тем не менее, уже на современном уровне знаний ориентированные на миокины медицинские практики могут быть вполне эффективны, поскольку основа их - модифицированная под конкретную задачу разумная физическая активность.

Myokines are low-molecular-weight peptides that are formed, expressed on the surface, and secreted into the bloodstream by muscle fibers. They have autocrine, paracrine and endocrine effects, especially on muscles. Significance of myokines for medicine is determined by the fact that muscles are the largest part of the body by their mass and volume and provide the first and the most vitally important function, the movement. All pathological processes are associated with violations of myokine formation, distribution, and interaction with target cells. Providing a deep insight into these processes is a big and complex topic. Nevertheless, at the current level of knowledge, myokine-oriented medical practices can be quite effective since these practices are based on reasonable physical activity adjusted to a specific task.
