Constitutional Obligation of Alberta to Publish Laws in French: R v Caron and Boutet
Authors: Unsworth Margaret
Published: June 2017

This paper outlines the decisions of the Courts in the cases of Gilles Caron and Pierre Boutet [Caron] as well as the basic arguments advanced by the parties at the Supreme Court of Canada. The central issue in the case is whether there is a constitutional obligation on the Province of Alberta to publish its laws in French.This is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of the myriad of issues that were argued by Mr. Caron and Mr. Boutet in defence of their traffi c tickets. Rather, the objective is to give an overview of the essentials of each of the decisions and the basic arguments advanced. This paper will also not address the matter of funding at trial, an issue in this case which also went to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Case Comment: Canada (Attorney General) v PHS Community Services Society
Authors: Agarwal Rahool P
Published: June 2017

In September of this year, the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in Canada (Attorney General) v PHS Community Services Society (“PHS Community Services Society”).[1] PHS Community Services Society is undoubtedly a landmark decision. Most importantly, the Court ordered the continued operation of Insite, North America’s only supervised injection site, and a health program that has proven to be overwhelmingly effective in addressing addiction drug use in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (the “DTES”). But the decision is also critically important as part of the Supreme Court’s body of constitutional jurisprudence. In this case comment, I review the Court’s decision, and discuss three important issues raised by the Court’s analysis: (a) the availability of ministerial discretion as an “antidote” for an otherwise unconstitutional law; (b) what insight the decision may provide with respect to the relationship between the Court and Parliament; and (c) PHS Community Services Society’s utility as a precedent for future supervised injection sites.

The Assisted Human Reproduction Act Reference and the Thin Line Between Health and Crime
Authors: Ogbogu Ubaka
Published: June 2017

With respect to health, the Constitution Act, 1867 does not specifically assign legislative authority to any level of government. As a result, Parliament and provincial legislatures can enact laws relating to health. This inevitably leads to disputes between both levels of government over who has the authority to enact legislation to deal with whatever aspect of health is in question. However, it is now fairly well established that Parliament can regulate health using its criminal law power, among others, and that the provinces can do the same under various heads of provincial powers. The courts have also laid down a number of guiding principles to help delineate the legislative space occupied by each level of government in health and other subjects of shared jurisdiction. Still, controversy remains, as was the case in the Assisted Human Reproduction Act reference, which considered whether Parliament acted within its authority in using the criminal law power to enact provisions governing aspects of assisted human reproduction and related research.
Constitutional Change to Address Climate Change and Nonrenewable Energy Use
Authors: McDonald Lynn
Published: June 2017

Climate change, or climate breakdown, is arguably the greatest challenge we now face. The need to address it seriously has been widely accepted by all national political parties in Can- ada, if only lately and grudgingly. Yet Canada is far behind European countries in turning to low-carbon energy sources — we remain the world’s highest per capita energy user and car- bon emitter. We signed the Kyoto Protocol,1 but far from meeting our obligations under it, we have increased our greenhouse gas emissions. Our record is worse than even the Americans, who did not sign Kyoto.

LA NATION, C’EST MOI: THE ENCOUNTER OF QUÉBEC AND ABORIGINAL NATIONALISMS
Authors: Castro-Rea Julián
Published: June 2017

Proponents of Québec’s independence justify their goal with the claim that their province is the cradle of one of Canada’s “Founding Nations.” In so doing, they bypass the self-perception of the dominant, politicized Aboriginal peoples, who perceive themselves as forming the “First Nations” of what is now Canada. These contending views, neither of which is yet constitutionally fully recognized, are bound to clash whenever issues of self-government are raised within Québec’s boundaries. Such a situation arose at the time of the 1995 Québec referendum on sovereignty, which was met with adamant opposition from Aboriginal groups, especially the Cree, the Inuit and the Mohawk. In reaction, Québec’s pro-independence government at the time accused Aboriginal peoples of being Ottawa’s instrument, and repeated the debatable argument that Québec has maintained the most respectful policy towards Aboriginal peoples among all Canadian provinces.

The Role of the Federal Court in National Security Issues: Balancing the Charter Against Anti-terrorism Measures
Authors: Blanchard The Hon. Edmond P.
Published: June 2017

I am very pleased to have been invited to the University of Alberta to participate in a collec- tive reflection and debate on “National Security, the Law, and the Federal Courts.” As you are all aware, issues of national security have taken on new life since the inception of the war on terror, but what you may not be aware of is the com- plexities inherent in adjudicating these issues within the context of a democratic and rights- oriented society. I will do my best to give you a sense of the kinds of issues that come before the Federal Court in this regard, and how national security considerations raised therein must be balanced against the rights of citizens.

Cooperative Federalism in Search of a Normative Justification: Considering the Principle of Federal Loyalty
Authors: Gaudreault-DesBiens Jean-François
Published: June 2017

At first sight, federal loyalty does not mean much in Canadian constitutional law, if it means anything at all. However, as we will see in this paper, there are already some aspects of Canadian constitutional law which can be said to enshrine obligations pertaining to federal loyalty. Ultimately, what federal loyalty can bring to the debate in Commissioner of Firearms is a springboard from which to reflect on how and when the principle of cooperative federalism could be brought to bear in a consistent manner in division of powers cases.

Sometimes Constitutions are Made in the Streets: the Future of the Charter’s Notwithstanding Clause
Authors: Whyte John D.
Published: June 2017

This article examines the future of section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the notwithstanding clause)1 — specifically, its po- litical future. It explores whether it is a consti- tutional instrument which is likely to be used in the future by legislatures or by Parliament.2 The article is premised on the idea that popular po- litical notions about political and constitutional legitimacy, while often formed by the constitu- tional text, sometimes evolve independently of the text. When this happens, these new concep- tions of legitimacy will constrain the exercise of constitutional powers no matter how clearly the powers are conferred by the text. From this per- spective, this article argues that in an apparent regime of entrenched rights, such as Canada’s, the legislative suspension of rights will be re- garded as less reflective of the constituted order — and, hence, less legitimate — than will hav- ing legislatures insist that their choices should prevail over constitutional rights in some cir- cumstances.

The Pitfalls of Musical Translation
Authors: Buhler François
Published: June 2017

This paper focuses on the triangular links between a text in a given source language, its “translation” into music and an eventual retranslation into another language. As everybody knows, music is a language per se, with all the characteristics of an articulated language, its own syntax, grammar, even its own dialects and “regionalisms.” The bilateral link between a language and music is rather simple and can be summarized in the following principle: when a composer sets a text to music, it is always a one-way-only “translation”; this text cannot and should not eventually be retranslated into another language, there is no going back because music is the most constricting of all languages. Between two “normal” languages, like English or French for instance, solutions can always be found, even deficient ones if necessary, arrangements that are more or less satisfactory, one can compromise, adapt. It is not desirable to translate a text from Chinese into English and then from English into French but it can be done. However, once music has imposed its rules on a text, it becomes the main source language, with which it is impossible to cheat; everything must be literally respected: the musical words and sentences, the general form, the rhythm, the styles, the melodic, harmonic, tonal aspects… There are no possible arrangements or compromises, music comes first and dictates its rules, there are no choices other than to respect, literally, what the music says and hope that it will work or, if it does not, which is most often the case, abandon. And yet in some cases it is necessary to find a way to retranslate the same text. This is when translators are faced with real, at times unsolvable, problems because they are dealing with two source languages, one of which being Music that prevents any continuation to full triangulation. In this article, I will first analyze a few examples to show some of the main difficulties and then propose the solutions that allowed me to solve these problems in a satisfactory fashion.
Missionary position: The grammar of Philippine colonial sexualities as a locus of translation
Authors: Sales Marlon James
Published: June 2017

In this paper, I shall examine how Spanish missionaries during the colonial period described the sexual mores of early Filipinos in missionary grammars and vocabularies, and how such description should also be regarded as a locus of translation. Since these missionaries wrote the first systematic analyses of the languages of the archipelago to aid their work of evangelizing early Filipinos, it is in their writings that sexualities were first interrogated through the lens of a colonial religion and polity. By looking into the lexicographical approaches for defining sex-related terms in a Tagalog missionary dictionary, and the authorial choices in incorporating sexualities in two bilingual confession guides, I shall argue that proselytization served as an important translational constraint that created a space where Filipino sexualities were exoticized, and where a particular vision of colonial polity was articulated from a privileged position of colonial rule.
Meaning in (Translated) Popular Fiction: An Analysis of Hyper-Literal Translation in Clive Barker’s Le Royaume des Devins
Authors: Kristjanson Gabrielle
Published: June 2017

Most translation theorists agree that source text fidelity results in a translation that aptly transmits the foreign cultural values and meaning embedded within the source language to a target culture. While the preservation of foreignness might be beneficial for the propagation of international artistic diversity, when translating works of popular fiction, domestication is key to a novel’s successful incorporation into the target literary system. In popular fiction translation, the goal is accessibility rather than artistic influence or cultural exchange, yet the necessary domestication can be problematic. This article examines the reception of the English-to-French translation of an epic fantasy novel by Clive Barker. Online reviews written by the French-speaking readership describe the translated text as aberrant of Barker’s oeuvre and incomprehensible. While it may be easy to dismiss this translation as yet another example of poor translation practices, knowing that the translator, Jean-Daniel Brèque, is an award-winning translator and that he has translated many works by other popular artists such as Stephen King and Dan Simmons points the blame elsewhere. An analysis of Jean-Daniel Brèque’s translation of Weaveworld reveals the detrimental effect that strict adherence to the source text can have on the reception of popular literature in translation and affirms that domestication is necessary to transform the source text into a version digestible and understandable by the target audience.

THE CONCEPT OF FIDELITY IN COMICS TRANSLATION
Authors: Assis Erico
Published: June 2017

The long-discussed – and frequently dismissed – concept of translation faithfulness or translation fidelity, though usually applied to literary texts, has its fair share of applications when considered for comics translation. In literary translation, non-linguistic portions such as illustrations are often considered addenda or “paratexts” relative to the main, linguistic text. Comics, by its turn, present a certain set of features which single them out as a form that demands a new concept of “text” and, therefore, of translation fidelity. The comic-reading process, as pertaining to cognitive apprehension, implies interpretative accords that differ from the ones in purely linguistic texts: each and every element of the comics page – non-linguistic (mainly imagetic) signs, linguistic signs, panel borders, typography and such – are intertwined and should be perceived in regards to its spatial and topological relations. This approach to understanding comics is based on Groensteen (1999) and his concepts of arthrology, spatio-topia, page layout, breakdown and braiding. As for translation fidelity, we rely on authors such as Berman (1984), Guidere (2010) and Aubert (1993). On comics translation, Zanettin (2008), Rota (2008) and Yuste Frías (2010, 2011) are of particular interest. Based on various concepts of fidelity – supported by samples of translated comics with varied degrees of fidelity to the source text – we discuss the different grounds of source-text fidelity, target-reader fidelity and source-author fidelity in the following instances: linguistic sign fidelity, imagetic sign fidelity, spatio-topia fidelity, typographic fidelity and format fidelity.

Alexander’s Gate and the Unclean Nations: Translation, Textual Appropriation, and the Construction of Barriers
Authors: Garstad Benjamin
Published: June 2017

The Alexander Romance and the Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius deserve a place in any discussion of the impact of the translator’s work on the construction of memory in multicultural societies. Both works are remarkable as the products and the objects of translation throughout the middle ages. Successive recensions of the Alexander Romance were translated, either from the original Greek or from Latin translations, into numerous vernacular languages until there were popular versions of the Romance in circulation from Iceland to Indonesia. The Apocalypse was first written in Syriac at the isolated monastery of Singara, but under the impulse of the initial Arab conquests it was translated into Greek and then Latin for a readership that stretched from one end of the Mediterranean to the other; translations into various vernaculars were made throughout the middle ages in places as far apart as England and Russia. The remarkable extent to which translation made both the Romance and the Apocalypse available to ever wider audiences has long been recognized. What has not necessarily been appreciated to the same extent is the cultural impact of these translations, especially in regard to the contact and conflict of cultures. I would like to redress this neglect by drawing attention to the implications of a single episode, one borrowed from the Apocalypse into a later recension of the Romance and perhaps the most famous incident in either work: Alexander walling up the Unclean Nations, the agents of the End Times, beyond the Mountains of the North. Up to the appearance of this incident Alexander had been seen, as he perhaps still is, as a conqueror who extended not only his own realm, but the cultural sphere of the Greeks as well, drawing barbarian peoples into the civilized world of the oikoumene. Under the impact of the Arab conquests, I will argue, Alexander was given the very different, but just as formidable, task of excluding foreign and exotic peoples from a world which was ideally homogeneous, represented by his confining of the Unclean Nations. This act symbolizes the reaction which characterized the next several centuries of Byzantine strategy, of retrenchment, defense of the frontiers, and assimilation of all deviant groups (pagans, heretics, and Jews) within the borders. The memory of Alexander inspired by repeated translations of the Romance and Apocalypse spawned this xenophobic response not only in Byzantium, but throughout Europe, until the Turks were at the gates of Vienna in 1683. Perhaps its legacy can still be discerned today in the inclination toward eschatological hysteria provoked by the perceived aggression of the Muslim world.
A Translator’s Apologia
Authors: Malena Anne
Published: June 2017

Literary translators are often too shy to discuss their own practice. As the penury of translators’ prefaces would attest, they have assimilated the fidelity imperative only too well and, even though they may be masters at transforming the literal into the literary, they prefer to remain invisible behind their author as if only the latter were real and they merely fiction(al) workers. Such doesn’t appear to be the case for two translators of Tres Tristes Tigres by the Cuban writer Guillermo Cabrera Infante: the first, Albert Bensoussan, working in French and the author of Confessions d’un traître (PU de Rennes, 1995); the second, Suzanne Jill Levine, working in English and the author of The Subversive Scribe (Graywolf Press, 1991). While it is undeniable that their respective collaboration with authors of the calibre of Cabrera Infante must have played a large part in their desire to write of what must have been an unforgettable experience, this paper will focus on different questions in order to gain insight into the theorization by translators of their own practice: Why and how do both Bensoussan and Levine produce prize-winning translations of famously difficult and considered “untranslatable” works? Why, in spite of their success and ability to push translational creativity to its limits, are they ultimately incapable of dispelling a sense of betrayal? Rather than providing definitive answers, exploring these questions leads to reflect on possibly constant factors in literary translation and on teaching or evaluating translations as well as training translators.

Análisis de los rasgos lingüísticos de Maus y sus interferencias en la traducción al español
Authors: Huertas Abril Cristina Aránzazu
Published: June 2017

Art Spiegelman abrió con Maus (1980-1991) un nuevo camino para la novela gráfica a nivel internacional: entrevistando a su padre, que le cuenta sus memorias sobre el Holocausto, presenta una historia de carácter confesional, inédita hasta entonces en este ámbito de manifestación artístico-literaria. Junto con la impactante representación de los personajes, destaca especialmente la historia de supervivencia en primera persona.

En este trabajo, analizamos la importancia del lenguaje en Maus, y más concretamente los rasgos lingüísticos que caracterizan la forma de expresión del protagonista, cuya lengua materna no era el inglés, sino el polaco. Son numerosas las incoherencias y errores intencionados en el original (por ejemplo, “… I can tell you other stories, but such private things, I don’t want you should mention”). Para ello, trataremos de determinar si existen en estas incoherencias parámetros recurrentes y posibles influencias de otra(s) lengua(s). Finalmente, analizaremos cómo han podido interferir estas pautas en la traducción al español de una de las novelas gráficas más destacadas del siglo XX y la primera ganadora del Premio Pulitzer en 1992.
Failures of Domesticity in Contemporary Russian-American Literature: Vapnyar, Krasikov, Ulinich, and Reyn
Authors: Ryan Karen
Published: June 2017

Hybrid literature has flourished in the Russian diaspora in the last decade and much of it is semi-autobiographical, concerned with the reconfiguration of identity in emigration. It dwells productively on the translation of the self and (more broadly) on the relationship between center and margin in the post-Soviet, transnational world. Gender roles are subject to contestation, as writers interrogate and reconsider expectations inherited from traditional Russian culture. This article situates Russian hybrid literature vis-à-vis Western feminism, taking into account Russian women’s particular experience of feminism. Four female writers of contemporary Russian-American literature – Lara Vapnyar, Sana Krasikov, Anya Ulinich, and Irina Reyn – inscribe failures of domesticity into their prose. Their female characters who cannot or do not cook or clean problematize woman’s role as nurturer. Home (geographic or imaginary) carries a semantic load of limitation and restriction, so failure as a homemaker may be paradoxically liberating. For female characters working in the West to support their families in Russia, domesticity is sometimes even more darkly cast as servitude. Rejection of traditional Russian definitions of women’s gender roles may signal successful renogotiation of identity in the diaspora. Although these writers may express nostalgia for the Russian culture of their early childhood, their critique of the tyranny of home is a powerful narrative gesture. Failures of domesticity represent successful steps in the redefinition of the self and they support these writers’ claim to transnational status.

The Unbearable Torment of Translation: Milan Kundera, Impersonation, and The Joke
Authors: Margala Miriam
Published: June 2017

Milan Kundera, a Czech émigré writer, living in Paris and now writing in French, is (in)famous for his tight and obsessive authorial control. He has said many times that he did not trust translators to translate his works accurately and faithfully. The various translations of his novel Žert (The Joke) exemplify this point. The novel has been translated into English, French, and many other languages more than once, depending on Kundera’s dissatisfaction with a particular translation (which, at first, he would support). Thus, there followed a cascade of translations (namely in French and English) as Kundera would eventually become dissatisfied even with the latest “definitive” translated version. As he famously says in an interview regarding the 1968 French translation of Žert, “rage seized me”. From then on, Kundera showed displeasure at any translator who, however briefly, would impersonate the author and take some license in translating Kundera’s work. Further, Kundera decided that only his full authorial involvement in the process would ascertain “the same authenticity” of his translations as the original Czech works. Kundera thus becomes the omnipresent, omnipotent author, himself impersonating God controlling his own creation. Finally, Kundera takes extreme measures and translates Žert into French himself. The resulting translation surprised many – editing changes are plentiful but apparent only to those who can compare the original Czech text with Kundera’s own translation. Kundera’s stance is conflicting, as he denies creativity to other translators but as the auto-translator, Kundera freely rewrites, rather than just retranslates, his own works. By exploring the convoluted and complex history of translations of Kundera’s works, I will try to illuminate the reasons behind Kundera’s posture. I will support my discussion by analyzing not only well known Kundera’s statements, but also those less quoted which, as I have discovered, are rather crucial to understanding Kundera’s position.

"East Germany Lives!”: An Encounter with Rural Graffiti
Authors: Winkler Anne
Published: June 2017

This essay undertakes a provisional reading of spray-painted writing on a dilapidated rural bus shelter that I encountered while investigating cultural practices that evoke and invoke the East German past in contemporary Germany. The graffiti, which read “DDR lebt!” (“East Germany lives!”), appeared in large red letters and was accompanied by the shape of a heart. I propose interpretive possibilities for the themes to which the graffiti allude, acknowledging that I construct a translation that others may not share. The bus shelter with its adornment serves as entry point into interrogating how East Germany is remembered and historicized today. Drawing on Slavoj Žižek (2002) and Svetlana Boym (2001), I point to the limitations of applying the construct of nostalgia to practices that appear to appraise positively Germany’s socialist past. Alaida Assman’s (1996) use of the trace, Kevin Hetherington’s (2010) theorizing on the ruin, and Walter Benjamin’s dialectical image emerge as alternative possibilities for interrogating how individuals intervene in unconventional, unpredictable, and contradictory ways as they connect what has been to the present.
Translation and Response between Maurice Blanchot and Lydia Davis
Authors: Evans Jonathan
Published: June 2017

When an author translates a text by another writer, this translation is one form of a response to that text. Other responses may appear in their own writings that are more inflected with their authorial persona. Lydia Davis translated six books by Maurice Blanchot, including fiction and theoretical writings. Blanchot’s concept of the récit privileges non-conventional forms of narrative and it can be considered to have influenced Davis, a view shared in critical writing about Davis. However, responses to his fiction can also be found in Davis’s work. This article reads Lydia Davis’s story “Story” as a response to Maurice Blanchot’s récit, La Folie du jour, translated by Davis as “The Madness of the Day”. Both texts develop a narrative that questions the possibility of arriving at a single story: Blanchot’s narrator cannot tell the story of how he came to have glass ground into his eyes, while Davis’s narrator must try to understand a contradictory story told to her by her lover. However, Davis responds to Blanchot by reversing the perspective in the story: where Blanchot’s narrator must and cannot create a story that explains his situation in a judicial/medical context, Davis’s narrator is struggling to understand her lover’s story which does not explain the situation that they find themselves in. Davis’s narrator is therefore motivated by an emotional need to find an acceptable story that is absent from Blanchot’s narrator. This difference in motivation is central to the difference between Davis’s and Blanchot’s approach, and complicates any reading of his influence on her because she responds to his text in her own.

Impact of motives on impulsivity and compulsivity in compulsive buying behavior
Authors: Jung Joowon
Published: June 2017

I explored the impact of people's buying motives on the elements of impulsivity and compulsivity that underlie buying behavior in men and women. Participants in the online survey were 809 adults, of whom 71.8% were women, with a history of compulsive buying. The results revealed that
buying motives played a larger role in impulsivity and compulsivity in buying behavior in women than it did in men. The enhancement motive influenced impulsivity in both men and women, but the social motive influenced buying behavior in women only. Although compulsivity in both sexes was significantly
influenced by enhancement and coping motives, women were influenced more by the enhancement motive whereas men were influenced more by the coping motive. The results suggest that various motives prompt compulsive buyers' behavior. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Risk communication: The roles of message appeal and coping style
Authors: Kim Mikyoung , Choi Yoonhyeung
Published: June 2017

We examined the main effect of message appeal (emotional and logical) and coping style (monitors and blunters) and the interaction effect between the two on risk message processing outcomes. Participants were 74 U.S. undergraduate and graduate students who read news stories about tornadoes,
then rated their risk message processing outcomes. Results showed that emotional appeals led to a higher risk perception, probability of risk occurrence, and more accurate recognition memory than did logical appeals. Further, we found significant interaction effects between message appeal
and coping style on risk perception. When message appeals were emotional, monitors perceived a higher risk and probability of risk occurrence than did blunters; however, when message appeals were logical, this difference between monitors and blunters disappeared. The findings suggest that
(a) emotional appeals should be included in risk communication and (b) coping styles should be considered in effective risk communication.

Identification of heat-integrated distillation column using hybrid support vector regression and particle swarm optimization
Authors: Jaleel Abdul , Aparna K.
Published: June 2017

Distillation is the most commonly used method for separating fluid mixtures in oil and gas industries. It is a process that requires high energy usage. One of the efficient ways to save energy in a distillation column is by heat integration. One such type of distillation column is called a heat-integrated distillation column (HIDC). In HIDC, the prediction of mole fractions of the component in the product can be made using proper identification, or modeling, of the HIDC. However, nonlinear modeling of HIDC is a highly challenging task. Methods based on first principles are not sufficient for a highly nonlinear HIDC. Hence, a novel method for identification of HIDC using a non-parametric ?support vector regression (SVR)? method for predicting benzene composition in benzene-toluene HIDC is proposed in this work. The data used for identification is generated using process simulation software HYSYS. 100 samples of data were used for training and 50 samples of data were employed for validating the model. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) was also incorporated with SVR for obtaining optimized parameters of SVR. The proposed model is compared with other SVR models optimized with optimization methods other than PSO. The proposed model showed better performance over others.
The effects of social and symbolic cues on visual search: Cue shape trumps biological relevance
Authors: Hermens Frouke
Published: June 2017

Arrow signs are often used in crowded environments such as airports to direct
observers? attention to objects and areas of interest. Research with social
and symbolic cues presented in isolation at fixation has suggested that
social cues (such as eye gaze and pointing hands) are more effective in
directing observers? attention than symbolic cues. The present work examines
whether in visual search, social cues would therefore be more effective than
arrows, by asking participants to locate target objects in crowded displays
that were cued by eye-gaze, pointing hands or arrow cues. Results show an
advantage for arrow cues, but only for arrow cues that stand out from the
surroundings. The results confirm earlier suggestions that in extrafoveal
vision cue shape trumps biological relevance. Eye movements suggest that
these cueing effects rely predominantly on extrafoveal perception of the
cues.
Computation of asteroid proper elements: Recent advances
Authors: Knezevic Z.
Published: June 2017

The recent advances in computation of asteroid proper elements are briefly reviewed. Although not representing real breakthroughs in computation and stability assessment of proper elements, these advances can still be considered as important improvements offering solutions to some practical problems encountered in the past. The problem of getting unrealistic values of perihelion frequency for very low eccentricity orbits is solved by computing frequencies using the frequencymodified Fourier transform. The synthetic resonant proper elements adjusted to a given secular resonance helped to prove the existence of Astraea asteroid family. The preliminary assessment of stability with time of proper elements computed by means of the analytical theory provides a good indication of their poorer performance with respect to their synthetic counterparts, and advocates in favor of ceasing their regular maintenance; the final decision should, however, be taken on the basis of more comprehensive and reliable direct estimate of their individual and sample average deviations from constancy.
Do Peer Warnings Affect CEO Compensation?
Authors: Darrough Masako N. , Shi Linna , Wang Ping
Published: June 2017

SYNOPSIS

In this study, focusing on the period 1996–2010, we conduct an empirical investigation of how warnings by industry peer firms about future earnings affect CEO compensation structure. These warnings contain information about the industry, signaling dim industry prospects and possibly triggering negative spillovers on stock prices. We predict that firms respond to industry-wide negative information by changing the compensation mix to make it more future oriented and by reducing pay-performance sensitivity to shield CEOs from negative factors beyond their control. We find that (1) for firms that issue warnings, peer warnings are associated with a reduction in pay-performance sensitivity; and (2) for firms that do not issue warnings, peer warnings are associated with a modification in compensation mix, such that it becomes more equity based and future oriented, similar to the adjustment made to CEO compensation in the wake of self-warnings. Our results are robust to different definitions of warnings and to the exclusion of annual earnings warnings. However, the results do not hold after 2005, which may be due to factors such as a decline in the use of option compensation, a decrease in the issuance of warnings outside of the announcement window, and changing patterns in management guidance behavior.

ECOLOGICAL AND CITO-GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION STRUCTURE OF CRUCIAN CARP (CARASSIUS AURATUS GIBELIO, BLOCH, 1782) FROM SEVAN LAKE (ARMENIA)

Published: June 2017

The article studies the morphological characteristics, age, sex structure, fecundity and cytomorphological parameters of erythrocytes of Crucian carp ( Carassius auratus gibelio , Bloch, 1782) from both subwatersheds (Big and Small) of Lake Sevan. The analysis of cyto-morphological characteristics of nuclei and erythrocytes showed that the population of the Crucian carp from the lake is heterogeneous as a whole, and consists of individuals with small (diploid) and large nuclei and erythrocytes (subgroups I and II). In sampling taken from both subwatersheds of Lake Sevan occurrence of individuals with the smallest nuclei (diploid individuals) made 38.8%. Crucian carps with the largest nuclei of red blood cells (subgroup II) are noted among females more than among males, with a low percentage of occurrences - 17.5%. The ratios of the volumes of the nuclei of erythrocytes and the number of nucleoli in the nuclei of erythrocytes of Crucian carps can be indicating the existence of triploid individuals in Lake Sevan. The number of Crucian carps with the largest nuclei of red blood cells (subgroup II, possibly triploids) is 17.5% in both subwatersheds of Lake Sevan. During the spawning period males prevailed to females in Small Sevan (1.5 ♂:1 ♀) and females prevailed to males in Big Sevan (1 ♂:1.6 ♀), which is the result of different spawning conditions in different parts of the lake. The highest role in the catch had individuals at the age of 3+. It has been established that the Crucian carp from Lake Sevan with large nuclei of erythrocytes do not differ statistically from individuals with small nuclei for all studied plastic and meristic characteristics and absolute individual fecundity.

The articlestudies the influence of treatment-and-prophylactic specimen ES-2 (extract of sapropel) onto the fish-breeding, biological and physiological-biochemical parameters of eugamic tilapia hybrid species Oreochromis spp. carried out in the Innovative centre "Bio-Aquapark - Scientific and Technical Center of Aquaculture" of Astrakhan State Technical University. Fishes (in the amount of 15 species) were kept in aquariums with water volume of 20 litres with artificial aeration, filtration and heating. High density of seeding facilitated studying the influence of specimen on the degree of fish resistance to water environment pollution by waste products. In the course of the experiment (30 days) parameters of the water environment (temperature, pH, content of oxygen, nitrites, free ammonia) were under control. According to the results, all fish-breeding and biological parameters were better among fish species from the pilot group, which got food including sapropel extract. Survivability of fish under experiment made 100%, of those under control - 87%. The absolute increase in body mass of fish in the experimental group (28.83 g) was by 5.06 g higher than in control group. The average daily gain was also higher in fish from the experimental group and amounted to 0.96 g while in the control group it was lower - 0.79 g. Feed conversion ratio in experimental group was lower (1.2) than in control group (1.3), which shows better assimilation of feed by fish species from the experimental group. Concentration of hemoglobin in fish species of both groups differed lightly, but in experimental group it was higher: 90.0 ± 1.81 g/l; in the control group it was 88.32 ± 1.76. In the experimental group there was observed the rise in erythrocyte sedimentation rate that might indicate a change in protein composition of blood plasma due to better nutrition, and can also be a result of acclimation of tilapia to another diet). However, the level of total serum lipids slightly changed: experimental group - 3.41 ± 0.15, control group - 3.46 ± 0.13 g/l; cholesterol level changed within 3.5-3.53 mmol/l, i.e. dynamics of lipid exchange enhanced normal exchange of energy resources. According to the study results, specimen ES-2 is recommended to add to the production food in the course of commercial breeding of tilapia.

The article touches upon the saprolegnioza of pike-perch ( Sander lucioperca ) roe during its artificial reproduction at the Alexandrovsky sturgeon hatchery (the Astrakhan region). As the material for investigation there were used 20 samples of infected roe, water from incubators and water source. There have been selected 14 representatives of microbiota from the biotopes under study. Simultaneously with collection of mycological samples, there have been registered data on hydrochemical regime - water temperature, oxygen content in water and pH environment. In resent years there have been found great changes in the studied habitats decreased representatives of Oomycetes of the genera Saprolegnia, Achlya, Aphanomyces, Dictyuchus on the background of increase in the proportion of all mycobiota imperfect fungi species Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium. The dominant fungi were of the genera Aspergillus and Fusarium, produce mycotoxins. Apparently, they are in modern ecological conditions inhibit the development of fungi saprolegniales without such features. There have been alleged links of hatchery eggs with quality physiological state of manufacturers redundant from autumn to spring in hibernating ponds. The findings suggest the need to look for new effective fungicides to combat disease caviar, in relations to micromycetes.
