ANALISIS PELAKSANAAN PENGAWASAN PERSONEL APRON MOVEMENT CONTROL (AMC) TERHADAP KINERJA OPERATOR GROUND SERVICE DI AIRSIDE BANDAR UDARA INTERNASIONAL DI SOEMARMO SURAKARTA
Authors: Kusno Kusno , Rizkyana Safitri Aulia
Published: August 2023

Bandar Udara Internasional Adi Soemarmo Surakarta memiliki pengawasan pada sisi udara (airside) yang dilakukan oleh unit AMC. Dalampengawasannya masih ditemukan beberapa pelanggaran yang terjadi di apron Bandar Udara Internasional Adi Soemarmo Surakarta seperti penempatan kendaraan atau peralatan penunjang pelayanan darat pesawat udara (Ground Support Equipment/GSE) belum sesuai dengan Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) yang telah ditetapkan. Hal ini terjadi disebabkan belum optimalnya pengawasan dan masih kurangnya koordinasi terhadap kegiatan operasional di apron. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah pengawasan ersonel AMC berjalan secara optimal, dan untuk mengetahui kinerja operator ground service yang sesuai dengan prosedur agar dapat meminimalisir pelanggaran di wilayah airside.  Landasan Teori dalam penelitian ini berdasarkan Manual Of Standard CASR – 139 Volume I Aerodrome serta PDJPU Nomor: KP 326 TAHUN 2019 Tentang Standar Teknis Peraturan dan Tata Tertib Bandar Udara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, wawancara, studi dokumenter, dan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meminimalisir tingkat pelanggaran ketertiban yang terjadi di wilayah airside khususnya di apron dapat dilakukan dengan perlu diadakan pemeriksaan secara simultan atau berkala yang dilakukan oleh unit AMC, seringnya diadakan ramp safety campaign secara rutin dan terjadwal, penambahan CCTV di dalam kantor dan di setiap parking stand di apron agar dapat membantu mengoptimalkan pengawasan personel AMC, selain itu penambahan jumlah personel yang memadai dan meningkatkan pengawasan unit AMC untuk mengawasi pergerakan dan ketertiban di apron khususnya terhadap peralatan dan kendaraan penunjang pelayanan darat pesawat udara (Ground Support Equipment/GSE) yang  dilakukan oleh operator ground servicedi apron agar keamanan dan keselamatan pergerakan pesawat di apron terwujud.

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) allows for secure computation on encrypted data. Unfortunately, huge memory size, computational cost and bandwidth requirements limit its practicality. We present BASALISC, an architecture family of hardware accelerators that aims to substantially accelerate FHE computations in the cloud. BASALISC is the first to implement the BGV scheme with fully-packed bootstrapping – the noise removal capability necessary for arbitrary-depth computation. It supports a customized version of bootstrapping that can be instantiated with hardware multipliers optimized for area and power.BASALISC is a three-abstraction-layer RISC architecture, designed for a 1 GHz ASIC implementation and underway toward 150mm2 die tape-out in a 12nm GF process. BASALISC’s four-layer memory hierarchy includes a two-dimensional conflict-free inner memory layer that enables 32 Tb/s radix-256 NTT computations without pipeline stalls. Its conflict-resolution permutation hardware is generalized and re-used to compute BGV automorphisms without throughput penalty. BASALISC also has a custom multiply-accumulate unit to accelerate BGV key switching.The BASALISC toolchain comprises a custom compiler and a joint performance and correctness simulator. To evaluate BASALISC, we study its physical realizability, emulate and formally verify its core functional units, and we study its performance on a set of benchmarks. Simulation results show a speedup of more than 5,000× over HElib – a popular software FHE library.
Don’t Forget Pairing-Friendly Curves with Odd Prime Embedding Degrees
Authors: Dai Yu , Zhang Fangguo , Zhao Chang-an
Published: August 2023

Pairing-friendly curves with odd prime embedding degrees at the 128-bit security level, such as BW13-310 and BW19-286, sparked interest in the field of public-key cryptography as small sizes of the prime fields. However, compared to mainstream pairing-friendly curves at the same security level, i.e., BN446 and BLS12-446, the performance of pairing computations on BW13-310 and BW19-286 is usually considered inefficient. In this paper we investigate high performance software implementations of pairing computation on BW13-310 and corresponding building blocks used in pairing-based protocols, including hashing, group exponentiations and membership testings. Firstly, we propose efficient explicit formulas for pairing computation on this curve. Moreover, we also exploit the state-of-art techniques to implement hashing in G1 and G2, group exponentiations and membership testings. In particular, for exponentiations in G2 and GT , we present new optimizations to speed up computational efficiency. Our implementation results on a 64-bit processor show that the gap in the performance of pairing computation between BW13-310 and BN446 (resp. BLS12-446) is only up to 4.9% (resp. 26%). More importantly, compared to BN446 and BLS12-446, BW13-310 is about 109.1% − 227.3%, 100% − 192.6%, 24.5%−108.5% and 68.2%−145.5% faster in terms of hashing to G1, exponentiations in G1 and GT , and membership testing for GT , respectively. These results reveal that BW13-310 would be an interesting candidate in pairing-based cryptographic protocols.
"Un roman: c'est un miroir qu'on promène le long du chemin" – Rodoredas Mirall trencat und die "gebrochene Spiegel"-Perspektive
Authors: Mees Inge , Windsheimer Uta
Published: August 2023

The fictional world of the novel Mirall trencat is not only "narrated" by a narrator but appears above all through the consciousness of one or more characters in the novel: the fictional world is "reflected". The title of the novel specifies this "reflection" of the fictional world: it does not happen in a flat way, the mirror is broken in such a way (as is clearly seen in the novel) that some of the overlapping pieces are turned. The characteristic of such a mirror is that it reflects the same object from a different perspective one or more times. This image "reflects" exactly the narrative technique used by Mercè Rodoreda in her Mirall trencat.
Mecanoscrit del segon origen de Manuel de Pedrolo: una nova interpretació del mite de recomençament
Authors: Bensoussan Mathilde
Published: August 2023

Humanity has always feared to disappear after a cataclysm, but has always dreamed of a new beginning, and if possible of survivors of the disaster; see on this subject the myth of Noah. In our time, between the danger of a nuclear conflict and the fantastical fear of an invasion by extra-terrestrials, the myth acquires a new topicality. It has a double aspect: the existence of isolated individuals struggling for their survival and the way in which they compose a new society. Based on several novels: Robinson Crusoe by Defoe, Lord of the Flies by Golding, Ape and Essence by Huxley and Malevil by Robert Merle, I compare them to the work of Manuel de Pedrolo to identify their originality.
Les consuetes de la Festa d'Elx
Authors: Castano i Garcia Joan
Published: August 2023

There are five Consuetes –a kind of director's book– of the only medieval mystery play that is still performed every year today, the Misteri d’Elx. The oldest and well-known Consueta, with song text and scenic instructions, dates back to 1625; unfortunately, it has only come down to us in a scholarly transcription from 1933. The second oldest Consueta, from the year 1639, which lists the score in addition to text and scene instructions, is only accessible to us in academic transcriptions from the 19th century. The Consueta of 1709, which also notates the music, is available in the original. A handwritten copy of the latter is the fourth Consueta from 1722. In 1984 a fifth Consueta was discovered, which is dated to 1751; apart from an appendix with performance information from the 18th century, it is a copy of the Consueta from 1625 – a fact that is important in that the oldest Consueta is only preserved, as mentioned, in a scholarly transcription of the 20th century.
El carteig Karl Vossler / Carles Riba
Authors: Guardiola Carles-Jordi , Quintana Artur
Published: August 2023

The hitherto unpublished correspondence between Karl Vossler and Carles Ribas, which lasted from March 12, 1922 to December 26, 1931 –a total of 24 letters– is published here for the first time. This correspondence is a document of the academic life of that time in Germany and Catalonia; it showcases the attitudes of Riba and Vossler before the rise of fascism and provides information on the work and mutual influence of the correspondents. Riba's extensive reflections on the situation of the Catalan language and culture have lost none of their significance.
Sinnstruktur und Funktionsweise ironischer Gestaltungsmittel in einigen Kurzgeschichten aus Uf, va dir ell von Quim Monzó
Authors: Harmuth Sabine
Published: August 2023

The success of Quim Monzó, born in 1952, who has already published various collections of short stories, is due to the author's ability to combine refined irony and comical effects with inexhaustible narrative ability and ideas. Monzó is in the literary tradition of the Anglo-American "short story” authors, of the Hispano-American "nueva novela" and also of French and Catalan Modernism, Symbolism and Surrealism. The protagonists of the stories gathered in Uf, va dir ell must act in extreme situations in a world of everyday appearance but full of absurd things. Monzó draws his characters from a sceptical perspective without denying them their human solidarity. The political, moral, and sexual revolts of the 1968 generation and the theories of the French avant-garde on the subversive literary text and a kind of postmodernist mentality are reflected in the texts analysed for this essay.
Die literarische Avantgarde: Imitation und Originalität
Authors: Molas Joaquim , Sattel Sabine
Published: August 2023

The article deals with the literary avant-garde in Catalonia around the decisive year 1924, differentiating them from both the avant-garde in France and Italy and from the avant-garde in the visual arts. Under the aspects “Evolution and rupture”, “Collaboration and subversion”, “Individual practice and group formation”, “Literature, tributary of the plastic arts” and “Imitation and originality”, the article analyzes the works and the activities of authors such as Gabriel Alomar, Rafael Nogueras Oller, Joan Pérez-Jorba, Josep M. de Sucre, Joan Salvat-Papasseit, Joaquim Folguera, Josep M. Junoy, J. V. Foix, Salvador Dalí and other figures related to the Catalan Avant-Gardes.
La «unitat de la llengua catalana» com a fet científic i com a argumentum ex auctoritate: revisió crítica
Authors: Calaforra Guillem
Published: August 2023

The "unity of the Catalan language" has been one of the most controversial issues in the country of València since 1975. Catalan and international linguistics have always postulated this "unity", from a non-sociological and diachronic point of view, starting from structural and historical considerations. This reasoning is partly equivalent to the old argumentum ex auctoritate. The author calls for a contextualization of the polemic and a critical assessment of the "scientific" discourse; he defends the thesis that the argumentum ex auctoritate, based on a purely structural level, is unsuitable for scientific discussion and has no part in the actual creation of the Catalan language community. Moreover, from his specific sociological and epistemological point of view, he considers this traditional way of reasoning detrimental to scientific inquiry.
La mètrica catalana en les acadèmies i certàmens valencians del barroc
Authors: Mas i Usó Pasqual
Published: August 2023

In the 17th century, Castilian was the dominant language in Spain; Catalan texts played a subordinate role in the field of fiction. Only a very small percentage of the poems presented at the literary acadèmies and poetry competitions in València during the Baroque period are therefore written in Catalan. This study covers the underlying metric forms, the poets, and the literary functions of their poems.
Aspectes del «realisme tècnic» i del «no-detallisme» al Tirant lo Blanc
Authors: Stegmann Tilbert Dídac
Published: August 2023

Particularly through Dámaso Alonso and Mario Vargas Llosa, the "modern" realism of Tirant has been emphasized since the early 1950s, for example in the technical descriptions of siege and defensive operations. A particular example is the nocturnal action described in Chapter 106, by which those besieged in Rhodes set fire to the lead ship of the Genoese fleet, thus achieving the breaking of the siege. Alonso and also Martí de Riquer had praised the complete accuracy of this action’s description. A close reading of the Catalan text (and a comparison with the English as well as the German, Dutch and Italian translations), however, reveals a fundamental incongruity as well as a number of processes left in "indeterminacy". The question to be ask in this context –beyond a possibly corrupted manuscript template for the editio princeps of 1490– is how far authors and readers in the 15th century were used to and demanded the absolute exhaustiveness of detail in such a description.
Barcelona und Alterität: Der Blick des Fremden bei Claude Simon und André Pieyre de Mandiargues
Authors: Sturm-Trigonakis Elke
Published: August 2023

The starting point for the reflexions is the epistemological postulate to understand "city" itself as a text that is characterized by alterity. According to the specific cultural-sociological prerequisites of the authors, this is not used as a "factual attribute" of aesthetic experience, but as a "methodological principle" with the aim of alienation. Based on the Barcelona novels by two contemporary French authors, it is shown how the construction of foreignness not only serves philosophical-epistemological or aesthetic, but also social innovation. While Claude Simon focuses more on the loss of a political utopia, Pieyre de Mandiargues’s novel deals explicitly with the situation of the Catalans under Franco. It examines how the foreign is experienced, where it becomes aesthetically productive and finally what meaning the foreign imagined in literature acquires in one's own considerations. A complex interaction between authors, their protagonists as personifications of the experience of others and the subject of the city as a carrier of alterity becomes obvious.
Gott im Exil - alttestamentarische Metaphorik im Werk von Joan Oliver [i.e. Pere Quart]
Authors: Meissner Christina
Published: August 2023

This article analyzes Joan Oliver’s use of images, stories and symbols from the Old Testament to describe Catalan society under the Franco regime. Characters from the Judeo-Christian tradition, such as Noah or Job, appear in the poem collections Terra de naufragis (1956) and Vacances pagades (1960), with the function of denouncing the dictatorship as a "cosmic catastrophe" for Catalonia and Catalan culture, and also as an expression of the author’s deep roots in this culture. In his 1963 novel Biografia de Lot, Oliver uses the biblical character of Lot to show, and also to ironize, the anti-heroic pragmatism of the post-war Catalan bourgeoisie; a pragmatism that guarantees the permanence of Catalan culture and language. Transposed into a Catalan context and in colloquial language, the story of Lot and Abraham thus becomes a genuinely Catalan story.
Morfologia flexiva actual de la Seu d'Urgell i Coll de Nargó: estadis en el procés d'orientalització del català nord-occidental
Authors: Massanell i Messalles Mar
Published: August 2023

On the basis of a corpus-based investigation, it is shown that a clear "orientalization" of the local dialects can be observed in the two examined locations. With the help of some morphological features it can be observed that among the older generations forms of Northwestern Catalan predominate, whereas the younger generations prefer the forms of Standard Catalan, which is based on East Catalan. This process is more evident in Seu d’Urgell than in Coll de Nargó and seems to extend to some extent to all of Northwestern Catalan.
Villalonga und «Anti-Villalonga»: Eine mallorquinische Kontroverse
Authors: Meissner Christina
Published: August 2023

The specific Majorcan form of anti-Semitism, which sometimes still treats the "Xuetes" –Jews converted to Christianity centuries ago– in a segregated way and full of prejudices, has long been a taboo in island literature, until Llorenç Villalonga treated it literarily in his novel Mort de Dama. At the time, Villalonga was politically linked to the Falange and stood out, among other things, for his anti-Semitic attitude. The contradiction between Villalonga as person and as a writer is critically addressed by Antoni Serra in his novel Carrer de l’argenteria 36, in which Villalonga himself appears. This paper is a confrontation of both works.
El Glosari d'Eugeni d'Ors i l'estètica del fragment
Authors: Ramon Resina Joan
Published: August 2023

The Glosari of Eugeni d'Ors is usually seen in connection with the essay form. However, the short and fragmentary texts of D’Ors can also be understood on the background of the Romantic aesthetic of the fragment. In question here is how the individual fragments and the whole relate to each other in the tensions between fragment and totality, fugacity and permanence, accident and necessity. In contrast to representatives of modern aesthetics, the noucentista D'Ors does not give up the claim to construct a totality.
Pabst: La subtitulació de pel·lícules mudes a l'època de Weimar
Authors: Bracho Llum
Published: August 2023

The paper deals with the translation problem when subtitling the German director’s G.W. Pabst silent movies Joyless Street (1925) and Diary of a Lost Girl (1929). To achieve equivalence in translation, it will be necessary to take into account the communicative factors in its context as in any other type of translation, as well as the variables of the register: the field, the modality and the tenor of the communicative dimension, presuppositions, implications, etc. of the pragmatic dimension and the restrictions specific to the film genre, the discourse and the text of the semiotic dimension.
Eine Annäherung an das literarische Werk von Guillem Frontera
Authors: Arnau i Segarra Pilar
Published: August 2023

The Majorcan novelist and journalist Guillem Frontera (1945) belongs to the numerous island storytellers who started in the literary world at the end of the 1960’s and who were grouped under the label of the so-called “Generation of the Seventies”. A fruitful author from his beginnings, faithful to committed literature, Frontera has always stood out for reflecting in his work the socio-economic and ethical transformations experienced by the various Majorcan social classes due to the tourist boom.However, his last published novel, Un cor massa madur (1993), is a much more personal and suggestive narrative where the author shows a growing interest in more universal themes such as human relationships, the inability to communicate, the recovery of the past, etc., all immersed in the contemporary Majorcan microcosm. Here, the writer shows the evolution of social changes from a perspective that no longer pretends to be denunciatory or vindictive but subjective, assuming the weaknesses, aspirations and limitations of the human being, embodied, among others, by the novelist waiting for the inspiration to write the novel that has been dragging in his mind since his youth.In this article, a thematic systematization of the novelistic corpus of Frontera is undertakenand special light is shed on Un cor massa madur, a work that could qualify as one of the best Majorcan novels of the late 20th century.
Característiques de morfologia verbal rossellonesa al sud dels Pirineus i el seu correlat en occità
Authors: Adam Aulinas Montserrat
Published: August 2023

The article focuses on the characteristics of verbal morphology that form an area of continuity between Roussillonnais and the north of Central Catalan (with the exception of those that form an area of continuity with North-Western Catalan). We analyse the situation of these characteristics in the early twentieth century, using the corpus compiled by Alcover (1906–1928). Taking as our starting point a study carried out between 1999 and 2003 in 42 sites in the northern area of Central Catalan, we note the change in these characteristics in this area. We also indicate the correspondence with Occitan regarding most of the features studied and discuss the opinion of several linguists about whether Catalan acquired them autonomously or not. We also make proposals for the linguistic description of the characteristics examined.

Keywords: Linguistic change, verbal morphology, Alcover, Central Catalan, Gironí, Roussillonnais, Occitan, linguistic cartography, linguistic description.
"En aquest llibre se fa menció de cavallers errants": zu Joan Peruchos Les aventures del cavaller Kosmas
Authors: Frenz Dietmar
Published: August 2023

Modern European chivalric novels like, for example, Italo Calvino’s Il cavaliere inesistente, Joan Perucho’s Les aventures del cavaller Kosmas, Adolf Muschg’s Der Rote Ritter or Umberto Eco’s Baudolino share some typical traits as metaliterary and self-reflexive discourse or the subtle play with typical constants of their models. The models chosen are, nonetheless, frequently narratives of the respective national traditions, which, in the case of Kosmas, are cleverly hidden behind a curtain of allusions.Keywords: Literature, post-modern chivalric novels, Perucho, Martorell,Curial e Güelfa, Torroella, intertextuality, self-reflexive discourse, metanarrativity
Notes sobre el Vocabulari del bestiar cabrum d'Antoni Maria Alcover
Authors: Amengual Guillem Alexandre
Published: August 2023

Summary: In this article the author attempts to outline the main characteristics of the Vocabulari del bestiar cabrum, a lexicographic work by Antoni M. Alcover published in the Bolletí de Dialectologia Catalana IX (1917). It is demonstrated that the dialectal and lexicographic information of the Vocabulari shows no little difference with the entry cabra of the Diccionari Català-Valencià-Balear.

Salvador Espriu a l'Europa eslava: compromís cívic i projecció intercultural
Authors: Moranta Mas Sebastià
Published: August 2023

Summary: Early versions of some of Salvador Espriu’s works in Russian, Polish and Czech were published in the 1970s, a period in which the figure of Espriu as a politically engaged poet was still current in Catalonia, due to the patriotic interpretation of La pell de brau [The Bull’s Skin] (1960). In this essay the situation in Catalonia during the last years of Franco’s rule is contrasted with that of the Communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. By illustrating the attitude of several intellectuals towards the dictatorial power we wish to offer ways of understanding Espriu’s reception in those countries. Thus, we aim to explain the apparent contradiction between two interpretive approaches: on the one hand, an ideology loyal to the government, which saw Espriu as a symbol of the anti-Franco resistance; and a rather anti-Communist attitude on the other, which certain cultivated groups could identify with, as opposed to the SovietMarxist-oriented systems. Moreover, we comment some of the translated works and discuss several strategies for editorial planning. Finally, we propose a short but representative anthology of Espriu’s “civic” poetry in all the three mentioned languages, accompanied by the original poems.

Sprache als Werkzeug im nation-building: Die sprachnationalistischen Bewegungen Norwegens und Kataloniens in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Schulz Nils Hinnerk
Published: August 2023

Summary: This article describes the origin and development of nationalistic thinking in Norway and Catalonia in the course of the 19th century. It aims at showing that two geographically and culturally quite distant European regions underwent very similar processes almost at the same time. Using a comparative approach, the article discusses the rise of the concepts of nation and culture as a new interest of small groups of intellectuals, based on ideas of thinkers like Herder and Fichte. It aims at showing how these foremost “romantic”, or rather cultural concepts led to political programmes and the cry for independence and liberation of central powers (Spain/Castile and Denmark) in the course of time. The focus lies on the analysis of concepts of language and their (assumed) history as one of the favourite and most powerful justification tools for delimitation and the description of own genuine history and culture in the discourse of Norwegian and Catalan intellectuals.

Un tema oblidat: les relacions interdialectals del català
Authors: Casesnoves Raquel , Mas Josep Àngel
Published: August 2023

Summary: This article analyzes language attitudes regarding the most important varieties of Catalan: Catalan from Barcelona, Valencia and the Balearic Islands. With this objective and using the matched-guise technique, we studied how speakers of these varieties evaluate their own variety and one other. In the case of Valencian and Balearic speakers, the exovariety assessed was Catalan from Barcelona, while speakers from Barcelona evaluated the Valencian variety. The study shows the influence of the speakers’ gender when rating a language, as well as the problems to identify it geographically. This identification is essential when considering languages with little variation or when speakers know it diffusely. The results are interpreted in the framework of pluricentric languages: speakers adhere considerably to their own variety, which is only accompanied with the rejection of foreign varieties by speakers from Barcelona, the dominant variety. [Keywords: Language attitudes; matched-guise; Catalan varieties; pluricentric languages]
Metadiskurs und Phraseologie: phrasale Formulierungsmarker im Deutschen und Katalanischen
Authors: Robles Ferran
Published: August 2023

Summary: Both the Catalan and German languages have a considerable amount of phraseological units at their disposal through which speakers conceptualise and characterise verbal communication. Among them we find a very specific group, which corresponds to formulation discourse markers (e.g. és a dir – das heißt): words and phrases of diverse grammatical structures and compositions which behave in text in quite a similar way to discourse connectors. Formulation discourse markers link text units and establish semantic identity relations between them. They also they guide the receiver of the text made by helping them to extract from the context any necessary inferences about its propositional content. Through this parallel study of a set of these metacommunicative phrases I reveal a number of shared tendencies in their lexical formation, morphosyntactic fixedness, distribution and prosody.

La gramaticalització de temps ha: de la noció de 'temps transcorregut' als usos discursius (segles XVI-XX)
Authors: Garcia Sebastià Josep Vicent
Published: August 2023

Summary: This paper analyses the process of discursivation of time constructions containing the verb haver. These forms were the Old Catalan equivalent of current expressions using the verb fer (e.g. “Fa temps que no et veig”). At the beginning of the Modern Age, some constructs containing haver started to be used in certain contexts from which an intensive pragmatic value may be inferred. According to the occurrences extracted from textual corpora, in current the Catalan language time constructions including haver can only be found in (more or less) saturated constructions used as pragmatic or register markers. Keywords: Old Catalan, Modern Catalan, Contemporary Catalan, corpus linguistics, time determination, grammaticalization, discursive markers, register markers
Globalització i identitat: alguns apunts en la narrativa catalana actual
Authors: Balaguer Enric
Published: August 2023

Summary: We address aspects of globalization in current Catalan literature and try to see how it affects it: does the Catalan writer take into account a reader from outside the linguistic domain? Does globalization influence the theme of the works? And also the categories of space and time? Have aspects of this reality been dealt with in some works? Is the presence of foreign population, both European and from other continents, reflected in the Catalan, Majorcan and Valencian societies today? To develop these questions, we will analyze works by Sánchez-Pinyol, Joan Benesiu, Carles Casajuana, Melcior Comes, Najat El Hachmi, Pius Alibek, Jovi Lozano, and Francesc Serés. Keywords: Globalization, universal literature, transnational literature, deterritorialization, multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism, national writer, foreigner, identity, ethnicity
Semantic modulation. Modelling nouns of entities
Authors: Climent Salvador
Published: August 2023

Summary: This work presents a theoretical model aimed to account for several cognitive mechanisms crucial for lexical generation or selection. A system of categories and transformations is posited to account for the different modes of reference to entities in the construction of discourse. This model synthesises and integrates already existent accounts of cognitive categories and transformations in a unified directional construct. In this paper the model is applied to Catalan. Keywords: Cognitive Linguistics, lexicology, lexical semantics
Virtual epitexts in the dissemination of children’s books: Toward an analytical model for author websites
Authors: Tabernero Rosa , Calvo Virginia
Published: August 2023

Summary: Author websites form a corpus of epitexts (Lluch et al., 2015) that in the context of the knowledge society need to be studied to identify how authors present and disseminate their books and promote reading on the social web. The aim of the research is to identify the key aspects for an analytical model for the websites of authors of children’s books. To this end, from within the portal Picturebook Makers, we selected the websites of three authors: Oliver Jeffers, Isol and Manuel Marsol. We analysed these websites using a selection of three of parameters. The results show that this virtual public epitext is in some cases an adaptation of analogue models of dissemination, while in others, such as the site of Jeffers, it leans toward a transmedia discourse in which the book-trailer is an essential tool for promoting the work. Keywords: Virtual Public Epitext, author websites, picture book, book-trailer, transmedia

Audio description meets Easy-to-Read and Plain Language: results from a questionnaire and a focus group in Catalonia
Authors: Arias-Badia Blanca , Matamala Anna
Published: August 2023

Summary: Providing accessible audiovisual content which caters for diverse user needs is one of the challenges of today’s digitized society. Easy-to-understand language is currently being explored as a powerful tool to foster accessibility among different user groups, including persons with cognitive disabilities and reading difficulties. Audio description is an access service that provides an aural translation of visuals for those who cannot access the images in audiovisual content. This paper discusses whether audio description could incorporate the principles of easy-to-understand language in order to produce easy-to-understand audio descriptions by focusing on the Catalan working context. Specifically, the paper reports on a survey distributed among experts in Easy-to-Read and Plain Language in Catalonia and a focus group which brought together audio description and Easy-to-Read experts working in Catalonia to discuss the feasibility and potential means of implementation of an easy-to-understand audio description. Both research actions were undertaken in the framework of the EASIT project. Keywords: easy-to-understand language, plain language, easy-to-read language, audio description

La gramaticalització del futur i el condicional al català del segle XIII: formes analítiques i formes sintètiques
Authors: Torres-Latorre Aina
Published: August 2023

The Romance future and conditional tenses are the result of the grammaticalization of the Latin periphrasis CANTĀRE HABEŌ. In medieval Catalan, the synthetic forms, with proclitic (el faré) or enclitic (faré-lo) pronouns, coexisted with the analytical ones, that presented mesoclisis (fer-lo he). These forms were distributed according to the medieval syntax of weak pronouns (Batllori et al., 2005). Analytical forms do not present univerbation (cf. Lehmann, 1985) and are thus less grammaticalized. In this article, the grammaticalization of these tenses is observed from the occurrences of Vides de sants rosselloneses, written in the 13th century. The results, compared with Spanish (cf. Bouzouita, 2016a) and Navarroaragonese (cf. Primerano, 2019), support the hypothesis of the diatopic diffusion of the grammaticalization process, according to which the grammaticalization is more advanced in the eastern languages of the Iberian Peninsula than in the western languages (Bouzouita & Sentí, 2022).

Aim: The Computer Based Exercise Program (CLOSER), developed for the elderly, provides the elderly with the opportunity to do exercises by receiving feedback about the exercises thanks to its dynamic structure. The aim of our study is a pilot study to examine the applicability of this developed system in elderly.

Materials and Methods: 54 elderly (mean age:70.53±7.87 years) who applied to the Hacettepe University, Occupational therapy department Geriatric Clinic were included in the study. System includes a front landing page where the sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals are recorded, and 5 basic exercises involving all parts of the body, including maintaining balance, neck rotation, rhythmic gait, knee flexion and trunk rotation. Participants were asked questions covering the exercises in order to get their feedback on the content, applicability and accessibility of the system. A total of 38 crossquestions, consisting of 3 separate answers as agree, partially agree and disagree, were created by the researchers.

Results: It can be said that most of the participants (more than 80%) found the CLOSER system easy, understandable and enjoyable. All of the participants stated that they found the instructions given to exercise sufficient and understandable and encouraging to exercise. There are a small number of participants (11%) who stated that they had some difficulties and problems in using the application.

Conclusion: CLOSER is the first national health application developed for the elderly to exercise correctly in terms of scope and content. It is thought that it will contribute to future research in terms of giving visual and written feedback on the participants correct and motivated exercise at home.
Current Status of Renewable Energy in Türkiye
Authors: ÇELİK MADENLİ Evrim , BEKÇİ Umut , ICHWANİ Titah Haritul
Published: August 2023

The usage of renewable energy has an increasing trend to replace fossil fuel or other forms of energy that damage the environment in the last decades. Many countries have been realized the need for clean energy to reduce the greenhouse effect and carbon emissions. Turkey signed the Paris Agreement in 2016 and ratified in 2021, and set net zero carbon target by 2053. The objective of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to 1,5-2 degrees Celsius compared to preindustrial levels. However, the high demand for energy for industry or high installation fees of renewable energy can be limiting factors for developing countries like Turkey. Turkey is rich in terms of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass. Even though Turkey is considered having one of the highest hydropower, wind, and geothermal energy potential among the European countries, the installed capacity is much lower compared to its potential. The current status of renewable energy sources and renewable energy potential of Turkey are evaluated in this review study.
Ki enged a végén? Eszkalálódó alkotmányos válság Bosznia-Hercegovinában
Authors: Orosz Anna
Published: August 2023

Rég nem látott módon feszült egymásnak a bosznia-hercegovinai nemzetközi főképviselő, valamint Milorad Dodik az ország szerb entitásának elnöke. Az újabb feszültséget az állami szintű alkotmánybíróság belső működési szabályzatának módosítása idézte elő, amelynek köszönhetően megszűnt az a lehetőség a szerbek számára, hogy befolyásolják vagy éppen blokkolják annak döntéshozatalát. Az ezt követő döntések sorozata a Republika Srpska és a nemzetközi főképviselő részéről egyelőre arra utalnak, hogy egyik fél sem kívánja beadni a derekát, és a végsőkig hajlandó elmenni a konfrontációban. Noha annak továbbra is minimális az esélye, hogy kiterjedt erőszakba torkoljon a helyzet Bosznia-Hercegovinában, az állam reformja szempontjából egy olyan fázishoz érkeztünk, amelyben eldőlhet, hogy – legalább is átmenetileg – kívülről vagy belülről fogják-e irányítani a daytoni struktúra reformját.

Purpose: In a world that increasingly revolves around technology and digital interactions, businesses strive to provide engaging and personalized experiences to their customers. In the realm of banking, this endeavor has given rise to the incorporation of gamification techniques to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. Gamification, the utilization of game plan standards and mechanics in non-game settings, has arisen as a useful asset in various industries, including digital banking. This article explores the influence of gamification on customer experience in the domain of digital banking practices. The researcher has chosen the topic "The Influence of Gamification on Customer Experience in Digital Banking Practices" to examine how gamification strategies, including badges, points, leaderboards, rewards, progress bars, trivia, opinion polls, and mini-games, are enhancing the competitive edge of private sector banks in Kerala.
Design: In this study, a combination of descriptive and analytical research designs was utilized. Primary data and demographic information were gathered through the administration of a standardized questionnaire to a sample of 150 bank customers. To validate the study and ensure its reliability, a preliminary survey was undertaken, and the Cronbach's Alpha test was used to evaluate the metrics of the study. The amassed data underwent analysis through techniques such as correlation, multiple regression, and tests for multicollinearity to understand the intrinsic relationships and determinants in the research.
Findings/Results: This research offers concrete empirical proof highlighting the profound impact of gamification on the customer experience in digital banking, particularly within the private sector. The study's outcomes reveal that the chosen independent factors, namely badges, points, leaderboards, rewards, progress bars, trivia, opinion polls, and mini-games, collectively play a significant role (accounting for 54% of the variance) in predicting customer experience.
