The signal peptide plus a cluster of positive charges in prion protein dictate chaperone-mediated Sec61 channel gating
Authors: Ziska Anke , Tatzelt Jörg , Dudek Johanna , Paton Adrienne W. , Paton James C. , Zimmermann Richard , Haßdenteufel Sarah
Published: February 2019

The Sec61-complex as a dynamic polypeptide-conducting channel mediates protein transport into the human endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with the help of additional components. ER membrane resident Hsp40-type co-chaperone Sec63 as well as the ER lumenal Hsp70-type chaperone BiP were proposed to facilitate channel opening in a precursor-specific fashion. Here, we report on their rules of engagement in ER import of the prion protein (PrP) by addressing sixteen PrP-related variants which differ in their signal peptides and mature parts, respectively. Transport into the ER of semi-permeabilized human cells was analysed upon depletion of the components by siRNA- or toxin-treatment. The results are consistent with the view of separate functions of BiP and Sec63 and strongly suggest that the co-chaperone/chaperone-pair facilitates Sec61 channel gating to the open state when precursor polypeptides with weak signal peptides in combination with detrimental features in the adjacent mature part were targeted. Thus, we expand the view of chaperone-mediated Sec61 channel gating by providing a novel example of a polybasic motif which interferes with signal peptide-mediated Sec61 channel gating.
The C. elegans heterochronic gene lin-28 coordinates the timing of hypodermal and somatic gonadal programs for hermaphrodite reproductive system morphogenesis
Authors: Choi Sungwook , Ambros Victor
Published: February 2019

C. elegans heterochronic genes determine the timing of expression of specific cell fates in particular stages of developing larvae. However, their broader roles in coordinating developmental events across diverse tissues have been less well investigated. Here, we show that loss of lin-28, a central heterochronic regulator of hypodermal development, causes reduced fertility associated with abnormal somatic gonadal morphology. In particular, the abnormal spermatheca-uterine valve morphology of lin-28(lf) hermaphrodites traps embryos in the spermatheca, which disrupts ovulation and causes embryonic lethality. The same genes that act downstream of lin-28 in the regulation of hypodermal developmental timing also act downstream of lin-28 in somatic gonadal morphogenesis and fertility. Importantly, we find that hypodermal expression, but not somatic gonadal expression, of lin-28 is sufficient for restoring normal somatic gonadal morphology in lin-28(lf) mutants. We propose that the abnormal somatic gonadal morphogenesis of lin-28(lf) hermaphrodites results from temporal discoordination between the accelerated hypodermal development and normally timed somatic gonadal development. Thus, our findings exemplify how a cell-intrinsic developmental timing program can also control proper development of other interacting tissues, presumably by cell non-autonomous signal(s).

Published: February 2019

VAPB and VAPA are ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins that play key roles in lipid exchange at membrane contact sites. A mutant, aggregation-prone, form of VAPB (P56S) is linked to a dominantly inherited form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; however, it has been unclear whether its pathogenicity is due to toxic gain of function, to negative dominance, or simply to insufficient levels of the wild-type protein produced from a single allele (haploinsufficiency). To investigate whether reduced levels of functional VAPB, independently from the presence of the mutant form, affect the physiology of mammalian motoneuron-like cells, we generated NSC34 clones, from which VAPB was partially or nearly completely depleted. VAPA levels, determined to be over fourfold higher than those of VAPB in untransfected cells, were unaffected. Nonetheless, cells with even partially depleted VAPB showed an increase in Golgi- and acidic vesicle-localized phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) and reduced neurite extension when induced to differentiate. Conversely, the PI4 kinase inhibitors PIK93 and IN-10 increased neurite elongation. Thus, for long-term survival, motoneurons might require the full dose of functional VAPB, which may have unique function(s) that VAPA cannot perform.
Excitable dynamics of Ras triggers spontaneous symmetry breaking of PIP3 signaling in motile cells
Authors: Fukushima Seiya , Matsuoka Satomi , Ueda Masahiro
Published: February 2019

Spontaneous cell movement is underpinned by an asymmetric distribution of signaling molecules including small G proteins and phosphoinositides on the cell membrane. A fundamental question lies in the molecular network for the spontaneous symmetry breaking. Here we report that spatiotemporal dynamics of GTP bound Ras (Ras-GTP) breaks the symmetry due to excitability even in the absence of extracellular spatial cues and downstream signaling activities. A stochastic excitation of local and transient Ras activation induced PIP3 accumulation via direct interaction with PI3K, causing tightly coupled traveling waves propagating along the membrane. Comprehensive phase analysis of the waves of Ras-GTP and PIP3 metabolism-related molecules revealed the network structure of the excitable system including positive feedback regulation of Ras-GTP by the downstream PIP3. A mathematical model reconstituted a series of the observed symmetry breaking phenomena, illustrating the essential involvement of Ras excitability in the cellular decision-making process.

Published: February 2019

Single cells migrate in a myriad of physiological contexts, such as tissue patrolling by immune cells, and during neurogenesis and tissue remodeling, as well as in metastasis, the spread of cancer cells. To understand the basic principles of single-cell migration, a reductionist approach can be taken. This aims to control and deconstruct the complexity of different cellular microenvironments into simpler elementary constrains that can be recombined together. This approach is the cell microenvironment equivalent of in vitro reconstituted systems that combine elementary molecular players to understand cellular functions. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and accompanying poster, we present selected experimental setups that mimic different events that cells undergo during migration in vivo. These include polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) devices to deform whole cells or organelles, micro patterning, nano-fabricated structures like grooves, and compartmentalized collagen chambers with chemical gradients. We also outline the main contribution of each technique to the understanding of different aspects of single-cell migration.
Teaching OR/MS with Cases: A Review and New Suggestions
Authors: Drake Matthew J.
Published: February 2019

Teaching cases have become a cornerstone of operations research and management science (OR/MS) education since the early 1990s, when the focus of the pedagogy largely shifted to an applied, model-building emphasis. I provide a review of the literature related to the use of teaching cases in general as well as their use specifically within OR/MS courses. I discuss the pedagogical benefits and the challenges in using teaching cases to teach OR/MS methods and their application. I conclude by offering some practical suggestions to assist instructors looking to implement cases in their classrooms for the first time or to improve their effectiveness in using teaching cases.
PENSANDO O GRAFFITI COMO MEIO DE COMUNICAÇÃO: PRODUÇÃO DE SENTIDOS NO TERRITÓRIO SIMBÓLICO-IDENTITÁRIO DA RUA
Authors: Bourguignon Cristiane Palma , Sarmento Priscila Bueker
Published: February 2019

Este trabalho apresenta uma reflexão teórica sobre o elemento urbano graffiti como potencial meio de comunicação na produção de sentidos no diálogo dos sujeitos no território das cidades. Com um ethos e linguagem peculiares, o graffiteiro como emissor se apropria de elementos da técnica que advém das artes tradicionais como a pintura para criar e expressar o seu “eu” subjetivo cuja mensagem será (ou não) percebida e (re) interpretada de diferentes maneiras, a partir do universo simbólico social do observador/receptor/ fruidor. Por ser uma tendência pós-moderna, a dificuldade de categorizar o graffiti a partir de suas características como meio de expressão não desqualifica esta que é uma prática social emancipatória, alternativa à comunicação tradicional, e que visa por meio de sua atuação uma sociedade plural e democrática no âmbito do direito à liberdade de expressão e pensamento.

Com isso em mãos, enumerei algumas análises possíveis sobre a cultura funk, a favela e a (est)ética do consumo.
ONGs: PRÁTICA CIDADÃ OU OMISSÃO DE UM ESTADO REGULADOR?
Authors: De Almeida Cíntia Borges , De Lima Giselle Rafael
Published: February 2019

Este trabalho tem como objetivo problematizar a historicidade das Organizações não governamentais (ONGs) no Brasil, assim como analisar suas contribuições sociais e suas práticas pedagógicas no que diz respeito aos espaços de educação não formal. Nesta direção, como operação metodológica foram feitas análises de aportes teóricos a partir de estudos voltados ao percurso das ONGs nacionais e ao papel desempenhado socialmente por essas instituições, assim como, análise de pesquisas que investigam a atuação das ONGs em espaços educativos de forma dissociada de cenários escolares, promovendo, ainda assim, um ambiente formador. Com esta empreitada justifica-se a escolha do objeto de estudo acreditando ser um tema relevante, já que é possível questionar a transferência estatal da responsabilidade estatal sob uma concepção de Estado Regulador (BARROSO, 2005), observando, deste modo, o processo histórico de atuação dessas instituições, seus objetivos principais em cada contexto, além de apresentar a discussão em torno dos diferentes espaços de formação, sejam eles formais ou informais, escolares ou extra-escolares (GOHN, 2013). Conclui-se que as Organizações não Governamentais atuam em variados espaços com objetivos específicos e que, apesar de desempenharem um importante papel social, essas instituições não devem diminuir o papel e o compromisso do Estado com as políticas educacionais públicas.
A Construção De Memes Como Ferramenta De Ensino Da Língua Inglesa
Authors: Xavier Alexandre Delfino , Oliveira Shirlene Bemfica de , Souza Evandro Luis Moreira de
Published: February 2019

O advento da globalização e da multiplicidade de canais, meios ou modos semióticos de comunicação criados a partir de novas tecnologias e mídias sociais impulsionaram mudanças no contexto escolar que necessariamente passam a considerar a crescente diversidade linguística e cultural presente mundialmente (COPE, KALANTZIS, 2000). O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar e discutir uma sequência didática de ensino de língua inglesa por meio da análise, construção e compartilhamento de memes online. O aporte teórico é pautado nas Teorias Funcionais da Linguística Aplicada, com especial enfoque nas teorias de letramento que constituem o interacionismo. O estudo analítico de memes é discutido com base em questões estruturais, semânticas e críticas, a fim de propiciar a valorização da produção autoral dos memes. A partir dessa perspectiva de análise semiótica, da criatividade, do dinamismo, da inovação, do interesse e da motivação os resultados apontam para a representação e recontextualização das realidades de forma eminentemente cultural e ideológica, pois apresentam diferentes visões de mundo de diferentes sujeitos em diferentes contextos e promovem a reapropriação do mundo ao mesmo tempo (COPE; KALANTZIS, 2009). Este estudo traz uma grande contribuição para a área de Linguística Aplicada e espera-se motivar outros professores na produção de aulas expansivas em que o ensino da língua seja construído em contexto social relevante para as turmas, juntamente a outras competências comunicativas, motivando-os no estabelecimento de seus estudos autônomos e críticos-reflexivos.

Authors: Cardoso Janaina Da Silva , Alcântara Alessandra Cristina Bittencourt , Matta Ana Beatriz Simões da
Published: February 2019

A opção argumentativa deste artigo surge das discussões sobre práticas pedagógicas de professores de línguas adicionais do grupo de pesquisa EAL - Ensino e Aprendizagem de Línguas: abordagens, metodologias e tecnologias (CNPq/UERJ) e reiteradas em leituras e estudos da disciplina de pós-graduação Processos de compreensão na era digital: a oralidade e a escrita. O foco da discussão é a crença de que a formação docente na contemporaneidade não deva ser vista como prescrição, mas como reflexão e atendimento das singularidades dos contextos educacionais de forma crítica. Sendo assim, o texto materializa o ensejo por discutir, atualizar e aproximar o conceito de multiletramentos à formação de professores. Para tanto, o texto é apresentado em quatro partes: considerações iniciais, que apresenta brevemente o conceito de multiletramentos; uma discussão sobre a formação docente, que busca a justiça social; um exemplo de aplicação de memes para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de espanhol e finalmente, o texto é concluído com algumas considerações finais.

Published: February 2019

Advances in the field of molecular electronics have made possible the directmeasurement of charge transport across single molecules. In particular, workon DNA oligomers has demonstrated that this weakly-conducting biomoleculecan be functionalized through metal-mediated nucleobase pairing in order tosignificantly increase electron mobility across the molecule. The introductionof interacting stacks of single metal ions inside the DNA helix is an attractiveplatform for assay and optimization; for this reason we present a protocolfor the production and processing of nanowires with a metal base pair forsingle-molecule applications. In particular, we describe the construction of DNA duplex wires with a cytosine-Ag+-cytosine base pair (dC:Ag+:dC).A thorough investigation of buffer components suggests the use of divalentmagnesium counterions to stabilize highly mismatched oligonucleotides insolution. We further analyse cleaning and processing of thin gold films forbatch-fabrication of conductive imaging substrates for use in conductivescanning probe assays of single-molecule conductivity. With a clear path toelectrical assays, we suggest that the C:Ag+:C orthogonal nucleotide pair andother similar chemistries may provide a foundation for molecular electroniccomponents in integrated devices
Multidisciplinary Psychosomatic Assessment for UX Design Evaluation

“In the mirror of the Wonder of Luca Giordano” was a multi-sensorial experience created in the gallery frescoed by Luca Giordano in Palazzo Medici Riccardi, in Florence; the project involved different disciplines and researchers. The entire experience was subjected to an impact analysis, combining principally psycho-physiological, qualitative psychological and neuro-physiological aspects. In most of the visitors who participated in the study the experience evoked a sense of pleasure, enjoyment, relaxation, lightness, space-time suspension, involvement and immersiveness. In many of the visitors, the devices detected changes in heartbeat with a stastically significant decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, demontrating that the impact of artwork in a multi-sensorial experience and in an augmented perception environment is a psycho-somatic impact. Our experience suggests that projects such as "In the mirror of the Wonder of Luca Giordano" could be a very useful tool for cultivating emotional intelligence and could be developed in museums alongside the more classical paths of fruition.

With a regulation made in 2001, vocational and technical secondary education graduates were given the right to enroll to vocational colleges without taking the national central exam. However, this regulation was repealed in 2016. If the students are placed in an associate degree program in the same field, additional points are added to the points gained from central examination. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the open admission practice which had been going on for more than fifteen years and the abolition of this practice according to the opinions of the academics who work in vocational colleges of Kirklareli University. The data of the research were collected with the help of four open ended questions in written form, with the qualitative research method. The abolition of the open admission practice is evaluated as a positive development by academic stuff of Kirklareli University, in terms of the quality of education and employability. The research findings show that eliminating the open admission practice is a positive practice. According to the findings of the study, was evaluated positively the removal of the open admission practice. Inter-agency cooperation on the issue can be useful.
Oryginalność Komisji Edukacji Narodowej na tle europejskim
Authors: Bartnicka Kalina
Published: February 2019

The uniqueness of the Commission of National Education in Europe As a result of the ban imposed on the Society of Jesus, post-Jesuit schools and funds had to be submitted to control. On 14 October 1773, on the initiative of king Stanisław August Poniatowski, the Commission of National Education (KEN) was appointed during a session of the parliament confirming the First Partition of Poland. The Commission was a body supervising the entire Polish education system, as well as an education fund created from the post-Jesuit assets. The king and the members of Parliament hoped that the Commission would reform the Polish education system and subsequently Poland would become a powerful state again. The Commission was a state institution appointed by parliament and answerable only to parliament. The Commission members included well-educated individuals, prominent politicians, representatives of the social elite who added to the Commission of National Education’s prestige. The school reform was inspired by the concepts of physiocracy (adapted to Polish conditions), the achievements of the pedagogy and philosophy of the Enlightenment, coupled with the local political and educational heritage, as well as the experiences of the National Academy in educating teachers and in cooperating with secondary schools. The Commission of National Education did not have any examples to follow, be it for institutional work or the planned school reform. The Commission managed to create a new type of state institution in charge of education. University-level education was provided to teachers, while the universities themselves were upgraded in terms of academic requirements and organisation. Departments were replaced with two equal-rank colleges. A Moral College was established with social science and humanities in mind, while a Physical College was created with mathematics and natural science in mind. The universities were delegated the responsibility of academic and pedagogic supervision of secondary schools. The Commission established the modern profession of teacher, the so-called academic estate. Polish was introduced to schools as a teaching language, accompanied by an encyclopaedic curriculum. Polish school books were developed. An enlightened and responsible nobleman-cum-patriot was offered as an educational model. The Laws of the Commission of National Education for the academic estate and the schools of the Polish Republic, an academic legal code, was developed and published in 1783.  The Commission was appointed by parliament and had an educational fund at its sole disposal. It was esponsible only to parliament for its activity and financial policy. This significantly differentiated the KEN from the institutions supervising education in Russia, Germany or Austria, as well as other countries, which were financially and legally dependent on enlightened monarchs. The KEN schools educated patriots and citizens, while the schools in absolutist monarchies desired loyal and obedient subjects of the tsar or king.

Budownictwo szkół elementarnych (ludowych) w Galicji i Królestwie Polskim na łamach czasopism przełomu XIX i XX wieku
Authors: Walasek Stefania
Published: February 2019

Construction of elementary (people’s) schools in Galicia and the Kingdom of Poland as discussed in periodicals published at the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuryAmong the numerous pieces of information pertaining to the social life of the population of the Kingdom of Poland and Galicia a number of notes and articles about the necessity to undertake the construction of schools were published. The authors would frequently mention the outrageous conditions in which children were forced to study, the lack of flats for teachers, and the failure to follow the rules of hygiene in schools. It was argued that combating illiteracy could bring positive results by securing the proper conditions for raising and educating all school-age children. Discussions in the press covered examples of local initiatives aimed at building schools, as well as ways of making the local communities of villages and towns more active.

Reformative Concepts of Education and Protective Activities Toward Neglected Children in the Kingdom of Poland at the Turn of the XIX-th Century in Comparison with European SolutionsAfter the January Uprising in the Kingdom of Poland, across half of the following century, industrial development was mostly connected with social reforms. One tragic consequence of it was the increase in the number of children without parental protection, juvenile beggars, tramps, young criminals and prostitutes. During the last thirty years of the 19th century it became a priority in the Kingdom of Poland to pay attention to the education and protection of children and teenagers from the poorest families. Numerous innovative and educational concepts were formulated at that time; some of them were used in centres for socially maladjusted young people, for instance in Studzieniec, Mariańska Wilderness or Struga, in centres for young prostitutes. The activity of educational centres and societies which organised the protection of children  (for example, The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) was given as an example.
The Educational System in Israel – Changes in Perception and Approaches since the Late 19th Century
Authors: Liviatan Sarit Albaldes
Published: February 2019

Education, by its very nature, is an institution that preserves tradition and its values, and thus preserves structures, patterns and processes that have become rooted in society and continue to influence and shape it. Education was one of the significant forces in the shaping of modern culture and the modern social cohesion of the Jewish people along with the peoples of Europe from the end of the 19th century and throughout the entire process of its renewed hold over its land. In the period that preceded the establishment of the State the focuses of power were distributed politically, with the considerable involvement of the community in what was done in education. Since the establishment of the State, the structure of the shaping of education policy in Israel has experienced changes. The principle of statehood guided Prime Minister Ben-Gurion, who sought to apply it also to the educational system. For many years since the establishment of the State, changes have been made in the national consensus about the emphasis of values, according to the spirit of the era and the major events that occurred in the country and society in Israel. In the transition to the 21st century, Israeli society is undergoing major changes that have direct implications on the positioning of formal education in society and on the image of the desired graduate.

Causes and Consequences of Drug Abuse: A Comparison Between Synthetic Drug and Heroin Users in Urban China
Authors: Yang Xiushi , Xia Guomei
Published: February 2019

This article examined the differences in causes and health consequences between synthetic drug and heroin abuse in urban China. Two-group comparisons were conducted to quantify differences in individual characteristics, causes of drug use, and HIV/STI risky sexual behavior between synthetic drug and heroin users; logistic regressions were employed to assess the net effect of synthetic drug use on risky sexual behavior. Results revealed that causes of synthetic drug use differed from those of heroin use; a combination of the knowledge gap concerning the harmful impact of synthetic drugs and the lesser punishment for their use appeared a main reason behind the shift from heroin to synthetic drugs; and synthetic drug use was a significant and powerful risk factor for HIV/STI risky sexual behavior. Educational and behavioral interventions are urgently needed to prevent the initiation of synthetic drug use among users to reduce their HIV/STI risky sexual behavior.
O kategoriji adverbijala

U široj jezikoslovnoj (posebice anglosaksonskoj) literaturi adverbijal se smatra heterogenom kategorijom u koju se uključuju i dijelovi rečenice koji ne pripadaju rečeničnomu ustrojstvu (Quirk et al. 1985; Buyschaert 2010; Crystal 2008: 14) pa se tako advebijalima smatraju modifikatori i konektori, obvezne i neobvezne adverbijalne dopune i dodatci te se vezuje uz modifikaciju rečenice i modifikaciju predikata/riječi u službi predikata. Adverbijal je termin koji se u suvremenim gramatikama hrvatskoga jezika smatra sinonimnim terminu priložne oznake (Silić i Pranjković 2007; Barić i dr. 2005; Katičić: 2002; Raguž 2010). U ovome se radu raščlanjuje opis adverbijala u suvremenim hrvatskim gramatikama te se daje pregled značenjske/semantičke i gramatičke/sintaktičke podjele te opisa u okviru različitih teorijskih pristupa kako bi se ukazalo na širinu te kategorije, mjesto adverbijala u strukturi jednostavne rečenice i interpretaciji rečenice/gradnji njezina značenja. Pitanje usustavljenosti i opravdanosti naziva izvan je domene ovoga rada, ali budući da je u jezikoslovlju usvojen i prihvaćen termin adverbijal te je uz subjekt, predikat, objekt, atribut i apoziciju – adverbijal jednočlan termin i pokriva različite vrste priložnih oznaka (obvezne, neobvezne dopune i dodatke) te uključuje i takvo promatranje adverbijala koji je dodatak rečenici i dopuna i dodatak predikatu (riječi u službi predikata), on je prihvaćen u ovome radu. Uzimajući u obzir da različite značenjske skupine adverbijala imaju i različite sintaktičke posebnosti te takva raščlamba zahtijeva opsežnije istraživanje, da bi se ukazalo na ulogu adverbijala u interpretaciji rečenice, raščlamba se u završnome dijelu rada temelji na prostornim adverbijalima.

Među raznoraznim temama koje su još od prvih godina pjesničkoga stvaralaštva privlačile pažnju naših pjesnika, zasigurno posebno mjesto pripada Blaženoj Djevici Mariji. Jednako kao što Blažena Djevica Marija ima posebno mjesto u kršćanskoj Crkvi kao Kristova djevičanska majka Bogorodica, tako i posebno mjesto unutar cjelokupnoga pjesničkog stvaralaštva čini marijanska lirika, odnosno čine ga upravo oni stihovi posvećeni Blaženoj Djevici Mariji. Brojni su hrvatski pjesnici barem maleni dio svoga pjesničkog opusa posvetili Isusovoj majci. U ovome radu analizirat će se pojedine marijanske pjesme pjesnika splitskoga književnog kruga: Marka Marulića, Frane Bogavčića, Nikole Matulića, Jerolima Martinčića i Frane Božićevića Natalisa. Provest će se fonološka i morfološka jezična raščlamba. Pjesme su to koje su napisane čakavskom stilizacijom hrvatskoga književnog jezika 16. stoljeća.

Prevođenje metafora. Problemi metodologije za istraživanje recepcije poetskoga teksta
Authors: Božić Rafaela
Published: February 2019

U članku je predstavljena analiza tri prijevoda pjesme More Josipa Pupačića na ruski jezik te su istaknuti neki aspekti problematike prijevoda i recepcije poetskog teksta. Također je predstavljen i prijedlog nove metodologije za istraživanje recepcije poetskoga teksta. Dvije grupe ispitanika ispunjavala su upitnik: prvu grupu činili su izvorni govornici ruskoga jezika, a drugu grupu izvorni govornici hrvatskoga jezika. Istraživanje je dokazalo da se upitnik može koristiti kako bi se istražila semantička ekvivalencija poetskog prijevoda i izvornika. Obje grupe istaknule su ista dva elementa pjesme: personifikacija mora i ritam pjesme kao najvažnija. Ova metoda istraživanja dokazala se adekvatnom da otkrije problem ekvivalencije između originala i prijevoda određenih elemenata teksta, posebno problema prijevoda metafora.
Hrvatski tradicijski čestitarski ophodi, pohodi i običaji od Božića do Sveta tri kralja
Authors: Dragić Marko
Published: February 2019

U hrvatskoj tradicijskoj kulturi božićno vrijeme obuhvaća blagdane: Božić, Sveti Stjepan, Sveti Ivan, Nevina dječica, Silvestrovo, Nova godina i Sveta tri kralja. U radu se navodi i multidisciplinarno interpretira stotinjak primjera čestitarskih ophoda, pohoda i običaja od Božića do Sveta tri kralja. Ti primjeri nalaze se u literaturi od 1846. godine do naših dana, a sedamdesetak je primjera suvremenih izvornih terenskih zapisa iz Republike Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine. Ti zapisi nastajali su od 2004. do 2017. godine. Neki čestitarski ophodi, pohodi i običaji iščezli su, neki su se modificirali i reducirali. U čestitarskim ophodima, pohodima i običajima ogledaju se pretkršćanski elementi. Običaj posipanja položaja žitom i položajnikovo kresanje vatre i izgovaranje želja za nastupajuću godinu ima panspermijsku funkciju. Kada bi položaj nakon položajenja došao blizu kuće svoje djevojke ukućani bi ga pozdravili pucanjem iz pušaka. Taj običaj imao je apotropejsku funkciju. Simbolično šibanje djece na blagdan Nevine dječice također ima apotropejsku funkciju. Istu funkciju ima i upotreba pirotehničkih sredstava u dočeku Nove godine. Taj običaj u hrvatskoj tradicijskoj kulturi nastao je u drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća i najmlađi je običaj koji se interpretira u radu.

Riječ je o čakavskome govoru buzetskoga ili gornjomiranskoga dijalekta, a smješten je na jugu spomenutoga dijalekta. Zbog svojega geografskog položaja, ovaj govor sadrži više čakavskih crta od ostalih dijelova buzetskoga dijalekta, a to se najbolje očituje u leksiku i akcentuaciji. U ostalim je dijelovima prisutno puno više elemenata iz slovenskoga jezika.
Poznavanje dijalektnih riječi učenika trgovačkoga smjera
Authors: Miletić Josip
Published: February 2019

U radu se donose rezultati istraživanja provedenoga s ciljem utvrđivanja poznavanja dijalektnih riječi učenika trgovačkoga smjera. Terensko je istraživanje provedeno u trima razredima Trgovačke škole u Splitu i trima razredima Srednje škole Vrbovec. Sto pedeset i tri učenika odgovarala su na anketna pitanja. Učenicima je u splitskoj školi bilo ponuđeno sto riječi koje su uobičajene u Prigorju i Slavoniji, a u vrbovečkoj su školi učenici trebali prepoznati sto riječi koje su uobičajene u Dalmaciji i Slavoniji. Izračunat je prosječan broj prepoznatih riječi u svim razredima, a u nastojanju određenja realnijega odnosa prepoznatih i neprepoznatih riječi utvrđivalo se koliko je učenika prepoznalo svaku riječ i koje je riječi prepoznalo najviše učenika. Usporedbom učeničkih odgovora rješavala se i istraživačka dvojba: izražavaju li se učenici na hrvatskome jezičnom standardu ili u njihovu izražavanju prevladava dijalekt? Nastojala se odrediti i sposobnost njihova izražavanja. Analiza je neprijeporno pokazala da učenici uglavnom prepoznaju izrazito mali broj riječi iz drugih hrvatskih regija. Međutim, valja istaknuti da su učenici Trgovačke škole Split u prosjeku prepoznali gotovo tri puta više riječi od učenika Srednje škole Vrbovec. Vrbovčani se uglavnom služe jezičnim standardom, a Splićani češće odgovaraju na dijalektu. Rezultati su istraživanja pokazali da učenici prvih razreda imaju najbolje sposobnosti izražavanja. Zbog ustanovljenoga nedovoljnog poznavanja hrvatskih narječja i govora učenicima bi prodavačkoga smjera, koji zbog prirode posla često mijenjaju radnu sredinu, trebalo povećati broj sati iz područja dijalektologije kako bi lakše prevladali nedostatke u komunikaciji s ljudima iz različitih hrvatskih regija. To bi bilo dobro i za ostala uslužna zanimanja. Zbog utvrđenoga stanja izražavanja učenika u Dalmaciji na dijalektu trebalo bi se ozbiljnije pozabaviti didaktikom hrvatskoga standardnog jezika u nastavi ostalih nastavnih predmeta.
Slikovnost, refleksivnost i kulturološka analiza predmetnoga sloja pjesničke knjige Čađ i pozlata Marije Čudine
Authors: Lemac Tin , Drača Vinko
Published: February 2019

U ovome se radu analizira druga pjesnička knjiga Marije Čudine Čađ i pozlata (1963) sa stilističkoga aspekta. Izdvajaju se slikovnost i refleksivnost kao dominantne razine poetskoga diskurza. Slikovni diskurz pruža uvid u zagrobni svijet u koji uranja lirski subjekt, dok se refleksivnim diskurzom izvode meditacije o odnosu života i smrti. Ispituju se interferencijske zone tih dviju diskurznih razina i simbološki tumači predmetni sloj pjesama kako bi se dokazalo da je u zbirci opisan put lirskoga subjekta kroz zagrobni svijet. Kao dodatak, predmetni se sloj kulturološki tumači kako bi se dao uvid podrijetla zagrobnih motiva u slikovnome diskurzu.

Comparative research on Korean jangseungs and Lithuanian religious monuments
Authors: Šiaučiūnas-Kačinskas Martynas
Published: February 2019

Kyung Hee UniversityThe research deals with Korean jangseungs and Lithuanian religious monuments, which include various kinds of Christian crosses, chapels, chapel pillars, and roofed pillars. The latter two are sometimes referred to as chapel pillars and roofed pillars (or collectively, decorative crosses) in English. This research focuses on chapel- pillars and roofed pillarsdecorative crosses only. Such monuments are seen quite often all over both countries, and they attract the eyes of tourists visiting the countries. The shape of the monuments is quite different: Korean jangseungs are pillars with a human-shaped body and the Lithuanian monuments are pillars having many Christian symbols. After deeper analysis, it can be concluded that both monuments are closely related by their functions. They are erected at the boundaries of villages, in the most important places in villages, near roads and dangerous places, etc. These monuments from both countries are supposed to protect the sphere of human life and ensure prosperity, health, a good harvest, etc. They also have strong ties with the veneration of ancestors, still very vivid in these two countries. And since both monuments are pillars, they have deep relations with the world pillar (axis mundi): a belief widely known throughout the world.
Reality bytes. Hybrid inter-faces, hybrid selves
Authors: Lopez Mario
Published: February 2019

Kyoto UniversityOver the past 20 years, computer games have become a very integral part of consumptive practices, acting as a guide to mediate multiple selves. This sets the context for this paper, a philosophical inquiry into the creation and mediation of ‘selves’ through the consumption of Japanese computer games, taking a detailed look at some of the symbolic and semiotic structures that permeate game structures. Games placed in the realm of human creativity and normative freedoms are as argued in this paper, a subtle form of the Deleuzian concept of assemblage.This paper argues that the ‘self’ as seen through computer games manifest multiple ‘selves’ that highlight the fluidity of identities which are being fabricated, disseminated and transmitted from Japan. Through an analysis of a number of Japanese games popular in Japan and actively consumed abroad, this paper examines an underlying grammar that transcribes the self and how social relations are reworked through technological enquiry. This paper further highlights how computer-dominated social practices that have heavily flowed from Japan have introduced very specific ontological ways of seeing the world to a whole generation of games players residing in other geographical spheres.

Myth in constructing contemporary Indian identity in popular Hindi film: The case of Ashutosh Gowariker
Authors: Valančiūnas Deimantas
Published: February 2019

Vilnius UniversityThe present paper concentrates on particular mytho-religious symbolism and mythological structures used in two popular films by famous contemporary Indian film director Ashutosh Gowariker: Lagaan (2001) and Swades (2004). These films are significant in the history of Indian popular cinema not only for their complex problems related to the sensitive topics of anti-colonialism, nationalism and patriotism, but also for their widely used mytho-religious symbolism. My goal in this essay is to analyse these two films, identifying the mythological symbols and mythological structures used in the films, and to see how they organise the films’ narrative and how they are connected with the issues of anti-colonialism, Hindu nationalism, and the construction of (idealised) Indian identity. In this paper I argue that the usage of mythological and mytho-religious symbolism functions as a useful tool for the director to transfer ideas related to national identity, nationalism, and anti-colonialism to the viewer effectively, as well as to express a political and social critique of contemporary India and to construct the images of idealised Indian identity in response.
Only Western influence? The birth of literary Romantic aesthetics in Bengal
Authors: Ivbulis Viktors
Published: February 2019

University of LatviaMuch has been said about how fruitfully European aesthetics worked on the minds of Indian writers in the 19th century. For this reason Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), even before he turned twenty, in the eyes of some of his compatriots was already a Romanticist—‘the Shelley of Bengal’. Of course, he could not be Shelley because of the very different historical circumstances of India and England (in India at that time historically could not be born aesthetic rebels like Shelley). But what was implied in this assertion remains: in Bengali writing about Tagore and his embarkation upon new aesthetic approaches, almost always the view is expressed that this happened only because of foreign influences. The task of this paper is to show very summarily that such a conclusion may not be correct.
Passage to India: Oscillating between love and hate. The emotional reception of India as the subject of Indian studies
Authors: Mickevičienė Diana
Published: February 2019

Vilnius UniversitySince time immemorial, India has evoked strong emotional reactions from the Europeans attracted by her rich civilisation. These reactions range from love beyond explanation to shock and panic leaving a deep impact on the personality concerned. In this presentation, the author touches upon the problem of the emotional reactions to India among the European general public and its possible written sources. One can often notice that even the scholars of Indian studies succumb to certain emotional biases that breed different sorts of stereotypes about India. This article therefore argues that it is necessary to reflect academically upon these extreme emotional interpretations of India, both those of Indologists and of common people.
Ways to understand India: The Czech experience
Authors: Vavroušková Stanislava
Published: February 2019

Oriental Institute of the Czech Academy of SciencesTo promote and further the understanding of India in the Czech Republic, Czech Indologists (in addition to their academic activities) publish articles, analyses and books on Indian history, culture and politics in the Czech language and deliver lectures intended for the general public. They continue in the tradition of the founders of Czech Indian studies (e.g. Vincenc Lesný, Moritz Winternitz), who were active in the first half of the 20th century. The Indian Association, founded in 1934 and affiliated with the Oriental Institute in Prague, promoted mutual contacts between India and Czechoslovakia and organised visits of prominent Indians (e.g. R. Tagore, J. Nehru, S. Ch. Bose) to Czechoslovakia in the years prior to World War II. The Friends of India Association (founded 1990) offers public lectures and organises exhibitions of Indian art, performances of Indian artists, and occasionally, courses of Indian languages. In close cooperation with the academic community, the association tries to provide unbiased, balanced information on India which is based on academic research, personal experience, and very often, life-long dedication to the country and its people.
