Published: June 2022

Electric power facilities traditionally demonstrate high rates of the fatal injuries. At the same time, the share of technical causes of injuries decreases annually. To reduce occupational injuries, the most promising measures are aimed at decreasing the influence of organizational and psychophysiological causes. Each of the potential causes of an injury can be described by the indicators that are uniquely associated with the work-related injuries and characterize the injured employee. The purpose of the study is to determine the characteristics of the employees in the most traumatic professions in the electric power industry who suffered as the result of injuries with fatality. Methodological approach is proposed related to the determination of the characteristic parameters of employees of the operating and maintenance personnel in the electric power industry. It consists of several stages. The first is the formation of the most common parameters, assignment to the group with an increased risk of industrial injuries. The second is the definition of a list of the most traumatic professions in the electric power industry. The third is the introduction of a procedure for multivariate cluster analysis of the input statistical data. The fourth is the calculation of the parameters of employees of the most traumatic professions in the electric power industry with distribution by cluster groups. Cluster groups are formed for professions: electrician, electrical fitter, foreman and wireman, which account for 80 % of the fatal injuries in the electric power industry. The relevant characteristics of the employees are determined: age, length of service, period after testing knowledge on the occupational safety, class of the working conditions. The proposed methodological approach can be used for any industry where the employee is exposed to the harmful and hazardous production factors. The methodology allows to develop and carry out measures for reducing the level of injuries.
Offshore Pipeline Safety

Published: June 2022

Due to the nature of the development of gas transmission network, the problem of ensuring reliability and safety of the underwater gas pipelines was practically exhausted by the calculation of underwater crossings through the rivers, lakes, and other water barriers. However, in recent years in connection with the development of oil and gas fields on the shelf, and the globalization of the gas transmission network, the question came up related to designing, building, and subsequently ensuring the stable operation of the offshore deep-water pipelines. Individual information about the accident rate of the offshore pipelines is given. They mainly concern the coastal pipelines transporting raw materials from the offshore production platforms to the onshore terminal. The largest number of accidents is typical for the pipelines of small diameters (2–6 inches) — 59 % of their total number. A group of medium-diameter pipelines (8–16 inches) accounts for 32 % of accidents. Pipelines of large diameter (18–36 inches) are the least susceptible to damage — about 3 % of accidents. In recent decades, the offshore main gas pipelines were widely used and are considered as the most promising way of transporting gas due to higher reliability, safety, and environmental friendliness, as well as the advantages of direct Analysis is presented in the article concerning the accident rate and features of failures of the offshore gas pipelines. The criteria of limit states and the algorithm for calculating the stress-strain state of the offshore pipeline, which are the main part of the safety assessment, are given. Methodology for the safety of the offshore gas pipelines was developed, based on which the example of the safety assessment of the Blue Stream gas pipeline is given. The materials of the article were used in the development of the projects for the offshore gas pipelines and are also included in the industry regulatory document.

Imperial National Conscience as International Recognition
Authors: Galina Talina
Published: June 2022

In the second half of the 17th century and under the conditions of the Westphalian system based on the principles of national state sovereignty, the relations between the empires existing since Middle Ages and Russia, that came to the imperial development scenario only in the New times, entered a new stage. The most morbid reaction to Russian imperial ambitions was demonstrated by the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire. The most important task of Moscow tsars and their diplomats became the task to obtain the Roman Empire’s recognition of the equal status of its rulers and that of the Russian sovereigns. The present article describes how Moscow solved that problem. Special attention is paid to the issue of the Russian tsars titles; to the nuances of diplomatic etiquette related to the work of Russian embassies in the Holy Empire, as well as the reception of the imperial authorized representatives in Russia. In Russian domestic practice the titling of Russian tsars as emperors started with the Latin translation in the official documents addressed to the tsars of the Full Royal title. The specific problem in the relations of the two states remained their affiliation with different confessions. The article describes the attempts of the Holy Roman Empire to recognize the higher international status of Russian tsars in exchange for the permission to hold Catholic services in Russian territory without difficulty.

The Western and the New Zealand Wars
Authors: Sheridan Brendan
Published: June 2022

There are multiple parallels between the 19th Century migrations into indigenous lands in the American West and Aotearoa. These include conflicts over land between incoming Europeans and indigenous nations, the complicated loyalties that arose during these conflicts, and later romanticisation of the time period. This paper examines two films set during the New Zealand Wars and compares these films to the American Western genre, in particular through the lenses of historical fiction and historiographic metafiction. These approaches provide insight into how the films depict events and why the way they are depicted is dependent upon historical context. These films, The Te Kooti Trail (1927) and Utu (1983), engage with similar subject matter and depict the same time period but portray history in radically different tones.
The status of the image in ECE assessment practice
Authors: Gunn Alexandra C. , White E. Jayne , Williams Ngaroma
Published: June 2022

While much has been done to advance narrative assessment practice in the early years, less attention has been granted to the role of the image in this pursuit. As a consequence, the purposes, value and strategic use of images (photographs, videos, visual metaphors etc.) in foregrounding learning of young children are not well understood. This paper reports on the results of a short pilot survey, sent to the early childhood education (ECE) sector Aotearoa New Zelaand in early February 2022, asking a series of exploratory questions about the status and utility of the image in ECE assessment. Images were not only viewed by many respondents as central to assessment and the co-production of knowledge about children’s learning, but they were also considered to be significant in terms of the trustworthiness and credibility of assessment information.  Images represented young children’s learning in accessible ways and provided for reinterpretation, negotiation of meaning, and ongoing conversations about children’s changing experiences, capabilities, relationships, and community in ECE. As entry points to assessment dialogues with whānau and children, images provided a shared source of evidence about valued learning. We conclude with a provocation arising from understanding images as central to assessment that calls for more critical literacy concerning the placement and status of the image in ECE assessment practice – especially in light of assessment in the bicultural curriculum context of Te Whāriki (MoE, 2017).
Agricultura convencional, educación y poblaciones infantojuveniles: las miradas de AACREA Y Aapresid
Authors: De Marco Celeste , Kunin Johana
Published: June 2022

El presente artículo analiza propuestas de carácter educativo y divulgativo dirigidas a poblaciones en edad escolar –incluyendo en particular aquellas radicadas en entornos rurales–, vinculadas con cuestiones productivas, ambientales y las llamadas "buenas prácticas agrícolas". Indagamos una selección de dispositivos generados por la Asociación Argentina de Consorcios Regionales de Experimentación Agrícola (AACREA) y por la Asociación Argentina de Productores en Siembra Directa (Aapresid), puestos a disposición a través de diversas plataformas en la última década, con énfasis en dos propuestas específicas. A través del análisis de contenido y la descripción densa, se aborda cómo se dan a conocer aspectos relativos a la agricultura convencional que se consideran poco o erróneamente difundidos. Es llamativo que la tecnología actualmente es tratada como potencial generadora de daños de suelos por “mal uso” y se reconoce públicamente, como mínimo, que en el pasado hubo cierta ingenuidad a la hora de evaluar las potencialidades que ofrecía. La mistificación del poder de la tecnología como estrategia se ve cotidianamente matizada, aunque su uso continúe siendo recomendado con fervor. Asimismo, los estudiantes no son impulsados a identificar que haya problemas sistémicos o estructurales para explicar estos temas.

This paper reveals in-depth the concept of mahabbah based on Ibn 'Arabi's perspective. The type of research used in this paper was library research. This research revolved on studying the concept of Mahabbah according to Ibn 'Arabi by adjusting the qualitative research. The research method used by the author was descriptive with a philosophical approach. The Philosophical approach could also examine the structure of the basic ideas (fundamental ideas) formulated by the thinkers. Primary data sources were the works of Ibn 'Arabi, both in the form of books and papers. Secondary data sources were data in the form of books, papers, and articles relevant to the concept of Ibn 'Arabi, from various writings with the knowledge and concern about Ibn 'Arabi's thoughts, especially in the field of Sufism. The technique used by the author in collecting the data was the citation technique, which refers to quoting part or all of the data from various readings that relate to the problem studied. The writer carried out the data analysis. After collecting the data, the writer analyzed it based on the type, then connected one data to another. Next, interpreted the data based on the research principles, and described it using deductive and inductive thinking techniques. Based on Ibn 'Arabi's perspective, the results showed that mahabbah (love) could not be defined; love is difficult to understand. Love can only be found and lived in the deepest depths of the heart. However, it is undeniable that everyone can feel the beauty of love even if they cannot make an analogy of its ultimate. God loves His creatures as a form of manifestation of His al-wadud, al-rahman, al-rahim attributes. Love is the reason and motive for the universe's creation; It cannot separate Ibn' Arabi's theory about love from the doctrine of wahdat al-Wujud as the center of his Sufistic doctrine. It asserted that there are no lovers and beloved except Allah because all entities in nature are the manifestations (Tajalliyat) of the magnificence of Allah. Ibn 'Arabi said that the basis and cause of all love is magnificence. God loves his creatures because the creatures are magnificent. Meanwhile, humans love God because they see God’s magnificence. God is the great and the source of all fineness.

Authors: Troitiño David Ramiro
Published: June 2022

The European Union is a unique political process in the world. It continuously integrates different aspects creating a communality among its Member States. The process of integration responds to the necessities of the organization to adapt to the social, political, and economic reality and solving the dysfunctionalities arisen from the process. Currently, digitalization is a process required to adapt the European Union to the reality, to provide a common frame to an existing digital world. Therefore, the EU needs to respond the requirements of the society for the implementation of European standards in a new, but already relevant, area. In addition, the EU drag from the past dysfunctionalities that can be addressed thanks to the new possibilities generated by the digitalization of politics and economy. This research analyses both the necessity of adapting and solving previous obstacles under the prism of the available digital solutions.

Digital Integrity: A Foundation for Digital Rights and the New Manifestation of Human Dignity
Authors: Vardanyan Lusine , Stehlík Václav , Kocharyan Hovsep
Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to the research of the problematic aspects and modern challenges of data protection in the digital age from the perspective of the digital integrity of the person. We believe that personal data cannot be effectively protected as components of digital integrity of the person in the context of regulation of a separate right to personal data protection, which, in its turn, acts more as a tool of market regulation rather than a classical fundamental right. We argue that the consideration of digital integrity as a new foundation for digital rights and as a new manifestation of the restrictive concept of human dignity may help increase the level of effective protection of the person in the digital sphere as well as properly cover the existing gaps in the protection of the digital rights of the person.

Published: June 2022

In an advanced and dynamic cyber threat environment, organizations need to yield more proactive methods to handle their cyber defenses. Cyber threat data known as Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) of previous incidents plays an important role by helping security analysts understand recent cyber threats and their mitigations. The mass of CTI is exponentially increasing, most of the content is textual which makes it difficult to analyze. The current CTI visualization tools do not provide effective visualizations. To address this issue, an exploratory data analysis of CTI reports is performed to dig-out and visualize interesting patterns of cyber threats which help security analysts to proactively mitigate vulnerabilities and timely predict cyber threats in their networks.
An Augmented UCAL Model for Predicting Trajectory and Location
Authors: Kadri Nesrine , Ellouze Ameni , Turki Sameh , Ksantini Mohamed
Published: June 2022

Predicting human mobility between locations plays an important role in a wide range of applications and services such as transportation, economics, sociology and other fields. Mobility prediction can be implemented through various machine learning algorithms that can predict the future trajectory of a user relying on the current trajectory and time, learning from historical sequences of locations previously visited by the user. But, it is not easy to capture complex patterns from the long historical sequences of locations. Inspired by the methods of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), we propose an augmented Union ConvAttention-LSTM (UCAL) model. The UCAL consists of the 1D CNN that allows capturing locations from historical trajectories and the augmented proposed model that contains an Attention technique with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in order to capture patterns from current trajectories. The experimental results prove the effectiveness of our proposed methodology that outperforms the existing models.
E-negotiation design and engineering
Authors: Grzegorz Kersten Gregory
Published: June 2022

This paper is an excerpt from a book by Gregory Kersten, which was not yet completed before his unexpected passing in May 2020. Following a note from Gregory’s family, the paper includes a section of a book chapter dealing with negotiation protocols. It shows how negotiation, as a purposeful process governed by explicit and implicit rules has protocols that can be employed to help negotiators orient themselves in this process. In particular, with respect to e-negotiations, the paper stresses the need to have a shared and clear understanding of the terms that are used by negotiators and software, which should be provided by taxonomy or ontology. The paper distinguishes three principal aspects of negotiations: decision and choice; language; and process. It also identifies key challenges related to the successful implementation of negotiation software agents.
Concession crossover in electronic negotiations
Authors: Carbonneau Real , Vahidov Rustam , Yu Bo
Published: June 2022

Negotiation is a joint decision making process involving making concessions by the parties. Concession-making may involve giving up negotiator’s utility and is an essential activity in the negotiation process. In the past it has been suggested by some authors that negotiators utility functions over the issues may not be linear. In this case, a phenomenon called “concession crossover” takes place, in which a negotiator may switch issues on which they choose to make concessions at some point in negotiations. This work sets to investigate the validity of such claims. To this end we introduce several concession-making models and use them for testing hypotheses. We have used a dataset from online negotiation experiments featuring a contract-signing case. The results support the claim that concession crossover does indeed occur.
The principal-agent problem in supply chain management – the simulation based framework
Authors: Siuta Kinga , Kaszyński Daniel
Published: June 2022

This research deals with a phenomenon well-known in socio-economic studies and referred to as the Agency Theory: the principal-agent problem. The agent is designated to act on behalf of the company owner, i.e., the principal, in the domain of supply chain management in the face of a supplier’s default uncertainty. Each of the players is gain-oriented, but their objective functions and the degree of risk-bearing may significantly differ, leading to an agent’s decisions not being optimal in terms of the principal’s outcome. This article proposes a multi-period supply chain simulation model that can be used to perform a supply chain optimization and comparison between the agent and the principal. The proposed framework allows for differentiating the model parametrization depending on the industry, in particular the consequences of the inability to deliver the end product, costs of keeping safety stocks, or the uncertainty regarding the suppliers’ delivery failure. As players’ objective functions, we consider expected profit-based indicators and measures taking the inter-period variance into account. We find that the agent’s actions may diverge from the principal’s optimum if the agent’s incentive system is not selected correctly. We also propose a solution that unifies the goals of the players. The recent COVID-19 pandemic amplifies the importance of such research. Many companies had to limit production capacities due to global lockdowns and, per the JIT production strategy, the prior safety stock levels were low.
Reforms of Czech Hospitals in Multiple Streams Perspective: The Cases of Success and Failure
Authors: Angelovská Olga , Novotný Vilém
Published: June 2022

The Czech Republic experienced a significant transformation of health care as a consequence of society-wide changes which started 30 years ago. The article aims to identify factors of successful and unsuccessful processes in giving a legislative anchor to the new organisational–legal form of Czech hospitals after 2000. There were several attempts to change the organisational–legal structure of hospitals. Just two of them succeeded to enter the decision-making phase in the Parliament, and only one led to successful approval of the Act.

In the article, we use the Multiple Stream Framework (MSF) to explain how different streams (policy, politics and problem stream) couple and open a policy window that allows a policy change. We chose modified MSF, which broadens the concept by including the agenda-setting as well as decision-making processes and offers two coupling processes. In a comparison of two cases of the policy process, we identified the factors that cause closing the window before the agenda is set.
How the Contagion is Transmitted to the Macedonian Stock Market? an Analysis of Co-Exceedances
Authors: Sulejmani Artan , Tevdovski Dragan
Published: June 2022

The aim of the paper is to analyze the transmission of shocks from selected developed and Southeastern European stock markets to the stock market of North Macedonia. Using the Bae, Karolyi, and Stulz (2003) co-exceedance methodology, we find that the probability of contagion from the stock markets of United States, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Macedonian stock market increased during the Global Financial Crisis. Regarding the asset classes, we show that contagion is positively associated with the volatility of Eurostoxx50 index, while negatively with the return of the euro dollar exchange rate and the yield of the 10-year US Treasury Note. The results have important implications for portfolio diversification and the asset allocation decisions of investors.
Long-Term Relationships Between Mutual Funds and Equity Market
Authors: Matuszewska-Janica Aleksandra , Żebrowska-Suchodolska Dorota
Published: June 2022

Investment funds are an attractive form of investment, especially for those investors who do not want to invest on their own, but rather entrust their funds to professional managers. However, the question arises as to whether the fund managers can diversify the asset portfolio, or whether it is only a passive investment policy that largely imitates the stock market index. In this context, it becomes important to examine the long-term relationships between open-ended equity funds and the funds’ benchmarks (stock exchange indices). This study analyses series of weekly quotations for 15 FIOs and 4 indices of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) from 2004 to 2021. The Johansen method was used as the main tool. The results indicate a lack of long-term relationships between the quotations of the selected indices and the valuation of the vast majority of funds. This result may be due to the analysis covering quite a long period in which the stock exchange situation changed more than once. In the long-term, this may result in disturbances of the long-term balance to such an extent that the relation can no longer return to its long-term path, so the vast majority of the analysed funds do not follow the indices (their benchmarks). This observation can apply to both developed and emerging capital markets.
Modeling and Mapping of Soil Water Erosion Risks in the Srou Basin (Middle Atlas, Morocco) Using the EPM Model, GIS and Magnetic Susceptibility
Authors: Mosaid Hassan , Barakat Ahmed , Bustillo Vincent , Rais Jamila
Published: June 2022

The Oued Srou watershed located in the Middle Atlas Mountain of Morocco has been a subject of serious soil erosion problems due to the combination of natural factors and anthropic activities. Therefore, soil erosion hazard assessment and mapping can be handy to initiate remedial measures in the area. In this study, the improved Erosion Potential Model (EPM) integrated with GIS and remote sensing techniques is employed to map and assess the vulnerability of the Oued Srou watershed to the water erosion phenomenon and its impact on the silting of the Ahmed El Hansali dam. The results of the EPM model showed that the maximum annual soil loss rates were in the range of 5-652 m3/km2/year, with an average of 49 m3/km2/year. The delivery coefficient ratio showed that about 34433 t/year of the sediments reach the outlet of the watershed. The correlation analysis between all erosion factors revealed the following order of their importance in the water erosion control: soil sensitivity to erosion, soil protection, slope, erosive state, temperature, and rainfall. The magnetic susceptibility provided results on the evolution of soils; it showed that the most degraded soils had a high erosion rate. Generally, the stable soils not eroded showed an upward increase of magnetic susceptibility values in soil profiles; the evolution of magnetic susceptibility of degraded soils is disturbed. The magnetic susceptibility has also made it possible to highlight the source zones of sediments that reach the outlet of the watershed.

Radar Observations of Old Centaur Rocket from 1966
Authors: Bondarenko Yu. , Marshalov D.
Published: June 2022

We report the results of radar observations of a near-Earth object discovered on 17 September 2020, with the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope at the Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii. Initially, this object was considered an asteroid and even received the standard provisional designation 2020 SO by the Minor Planet Center. However, its Earth-like orbit and low relative velocity suggested that the object may be of artificial origin, being the Centaur rocket booster from the Surveyor 2 mission that was launched to the Moon on 20 September 1966. In the period from November 2020 to March 2021, this object approached the Earth twice within one lunar distance of the Earth. Radar observations were conducted on 30 November in bistatic mode with the 70-m Goldstone Solar System Radar DSS-14 and 32-m radio telescope RT-32 at the Svetloe Observatory, while the object was in the visibility window of two antennas at about 200 thousand km from the Earth. The main goal of the study was to determine the physical properties of this object using radar astronomy to clarify its origin.

Artificial intelligence is widely spreading in all modern technologies. Such a very powerful methodology can have important applications in radio astronomy technology, for instance, in the new DBBC4 VLBI backend development project and in the low frequency array AntArr under development on the Etna slopes in Italy.

In the present paper, we describe the method currently adopted for those projects and some possible applications, which could provide substantial new features in this decade to the radio astronomy science and technology.

Authors: Glebova Ekaterina , Zare Fateme , Desbordes Michel , Géczi Gábor
Published: June 2022

The new pandemic lifestyle advocates new rules for sport at all levels, from amateur to elite. Consequently, it has transformed the ways in which sports are performed and consumed, provoking demand for new technologies and/or the development of existing ones. This paper aims to identify, describe, and visualize the process of sport transformation as radical internal and external industry changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is intended to qualitatively explain the current ‘metamorphoses’ in the field and subsequently answer the question of how the COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed all aspects of sports and physical culture. The literature and empirical dataset (qualitative open-ended written interviews, N = 147) were analysed in the spirit of grounded theory, referring to the holistic approach. The results demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on sports by touching on all aspects, levels, and stakeholders. The paper also outlines challenges and opportunities for the industry in these extraordinary times. The key dimensions of transformation are identified and explained. The findings of this research have significant implications for the understanding of how COVID-19 gave rise to the transformation of sports in different aspects. This study adds to the growing body of research on the positive and negative impacts of COVID-19 on sports, new technologies demand, and the transformation of sports.
Wage Polarization in the Context of the Czech Republic
Authors: Náplava Radek
Published: June 2022

Existing studies have provided evidence of job polarization in many developed countries. The issue of wage polarization is less obvious: many articles do not address it at all, and some even confuse it with job polarization. At the same time, the significance of the phenomenon of polarization results precisely from the consequence of wage polarization: the increase in wage inequality. The aim of this article is to find out whether wage polarization occurred in the Czech Republic during the period 2004–2018. Wage development in the private sphere does not imply wage polarization, but in the public sphere, results imply a very slight wage polarization mainly due to the development between 2004 and 2010. This phenomenon has occurred in both male and female occupations. Panel regression analysis shows that globalization reduces upper-tail inequality (the ratio Q90/Q50) while increasing lower-tail inequality (the ratio Q50/Q10). At the level of the whole economy, technology seems to contribute to reducing both upper-tail and lower-tail inequality. These results probably correspond to the nature of the Czech economy, which is based on middle-skilled workers with a pro-export focus.
Comparing Methods of Calculating Aircraft Engine Emissions of Harmful Exhaust Components During the Takeoff and Landing Cycle in the Airspace of an Airport
Authors: Głowacki Paweł , Kalina Piotr , Kawalec Michał
Published: June 2022

An airport authority needs accurate information about the actual amount of harmful emissions being generated within its airspace, to be able to take measures leading to their reduction. This article presents two methods for estimating the amount of these emissions from aircraft engines during the take off and landing cycle (LTO) in the airspace of a medium-sized airport: one based on the total amount of the aircraft annually operated in it, and a second, more precise, one for a specific airline annually operating at this airport. The conclusions stemming from the comparison of these methods can support the introduction of operational and technical procedures reducing harmful emissions in the airport airspace during LTO cycle.
Poems in lockdown: Cultural aspects of English and Russian “coroneologisms”
Authors: Ponton Douglas , Davletshina Dilyara
Published: June 2022

Thanks largely to the affordances of social media, the Covid-19 pandemic has provoked a glut of neologisms, loan-words, abbreviations, calques and other linguistic variants. The crisis was accompanied in most nations by social measures curtailing what have long been seen as fundamental liberties; hence, it has foregrounded the re-emergence of old controversies about individualism vs collectivism, the nature of personal freedom, the role of the state, the right to healthcare, the distribution of wealth, and so on. On the UK side, our study explores some emergent neologisms in English and Russian, especially implicit meaning in terms like “social distancing” and “lockdown”. We consider cross-cultural implications that relate to the way each national group conceptualized, and lived through, the experiences of lockdown. Linguistic practices may reflect deep-seated habits of being that characterize different countries, and thus our research may shed light on long-standing questions of national stereotypes. We look at some of the Covid-19 neologisms produced and/or used in British and Russian contexts, on the assumption that, by comparing these micro-linguistic practices, it is possible to learn something concerning the cultural realities of the countries in question, along the lines proposed in the works of Hofstede (2001) and Wierzbicka (2003).
Forms and functions of self-repetitions in spoken discourse: A corpus linguistics analysis of L1 and L2 English
Authors: Yakut Ilyas , Yuvayapan Fatma
Published: June 2022

Self-repetitions as a compensation strategy potentially have a powerful influence on maintaining communication in L1 and L2 contexts. By subjecting two comparable corpora to contrastive interlanguage analysis, in the present study we explored the use of self-repetitions by L1 speakers of English and Turkish speakers of English and their structural and functional distributions. The results indicated that while L1 English speakers tended to utilize repetitions as fillers, L2 English speakers employed considerably more repetitions as self-initiated self-repairs. The results of the study suggest that, despite being used for different purposes, self-repetition occurs in L1 and L2 English speech indicating that self-repetitions cannot be associated with disfluency as long as they do not hinder the flow of speech. For this reason, raising L2 learners’ awareness might help them prevent breakdowns in L2 communication.

The article presents the results of a study of hydrodynamics in a drum-type installation for the dis-infection of grain seeds by an ionized flow of an aerodisperse mixture. In the course of the re-search, a calculation scheme was drawn up and an equation was obtained to determine the throughput of the installation. Graphical dependences of the hydrodynamic coefficient, taking into account the influence of the velocity of the ionized aerodisperse mixture, on the equivalent Reyn-olds criterion for some cereals are given, and the nature and regularity of these dependences are established.
«Usted podía dejar la lancha donde te diera la gana»: Sobre la alternancia de 'tú' y 'usted' en el español centro-norte peninsular
Authors: Sampedro Mella María
Published: June 2022

La dualidad pronominal en la segunda persona del español es un asunto complejo y harto tratado en los estudios especializados de los últimos cincuenta años. Estos trabajos se han centrado en el análisis de las circunstancias que influyen en la elección de un determinado tratamiento, pero apenas han prestado atención al fenómeno de la alternancia, que consiste en el cambio de una forma de tratamiento por otra o el empleo de ambas en un único discurso y con un mismo interlocutor. En esta investigación se han examinado las formas de tratamiento en una muestra compuesta por 224 entrevistas semidirigidas, pertenecientes a distintos corpus orales de la variedad centro-norte peninsular, y se han documentado alternancias en 42 de ellas, tanto por parte de los entrevistadores como de los entrevistados. A partir de un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de estos cambios, los resultados de este trabajo revelan que la alternancia del tratamiento puede obedecer a distintas causas: a un cambio de planos discursivos, a una temática incómoda para el hablante, a la vacilación en la elección inicial del tratamiento, a la diferencia social entre los participantes o la tendencia al empleo de la forma de tratamiento no marcada ('tú'), unida a la falta de pericia en el uso de 'usted'.
