User-Based Adaptive Multimedia Delivery Over 5G Network
Authors: Molnar Andreea , Muntean Cristina Hava
Published: November 2018

The increase in multimedia traffic is likely to pose challenges for the 5G networks. The data bundles are likely to increase but also open the door to new applications which will increase the data consumption. This chapter discusses how multimedia adaptation could be improved in this context by considering the user and the contextual factors for multimedia adaptation. This could be used to deliver a more accurate trade-off between quality and price. As a result, this could reduce the network consumptions, reduce the cost the user has to pay, and improve user satisfaction with the multimedia services.
Tackling Lack of Motivation in Aspirational Analytics Companies
Authors: Gudfinnsson Kristens , Rose Jeremy , Aggestam Lena
Published: November 2018

Establishing business intelligence analytics (BIA) in small- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises is a pervasive problem. SME's - the majority of businesses - play an important role in creating jobs, but research is primarily focused on large corporations. The authors worked with small manufacturing companies at the aspirational capability level but found that their motivation to introduce BIA was low. They had many business challenges but perceived the obstacles (primarily cost and effort) as too great, and their priorities were with operational issues. A two-phase approach based on a well-known analytics maturity model was devised to help raise company motivation. The article describes three studies in different companies using variations of the approach. Comparative analysis of the cases shows that demonstrating a clear path to improved functional efficiency is key to improving motivation, and that simple, easy to learn tools can provide these insights at little cost.
The Usage of Social Networking Sites for Informal Learning
Authors: Ng Lay Shi , Thang Siew Ming , Noor Noorizah Mohd.
Published: November 2018

Nowadays, social networking sites (SNSs) on the Internet are increasingly being utilised as a learning tool for study and school-related issues. In Malaysia, most public schools do not allow students to bring their cell phones to school. Hence, learning activities involving SNSs can only be carried out after school hours. This article will refer to learning that takes place outside the school environment as “informal learning” as these activities are unstructured and are not undertaken in a formal educational setting. Through a questionnaire, the present study investigated the perceptions of 799 secondary-school Malaysian secondary school students towards the using of the SNSs for informal learning purposes. Data was analysed quantitatively and comparisons across gender and age were made. The findings revealed that Malaysian students have generally accepted the SNSs as an alternative learning environment with evidence showing that the difference in usage between gender is significant to a certain extent and less so for age.
Leveraging CIO Power to Enhance the Relationship Between Social Alignment and IT-Business Strategic Alignment
Authors: Gerow Jennifer E
Published: November 2018

To give Information Technology (IT) a more central role in an organization and avoid disrupting the existing executive team power balance, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) should only leverage their power in certain situations. We propose CIOs can leverage their expert, prestige, and structural power attributes to influence the social–intellectual alignment relationship versus the social–operational alignment relationship in unique ways. Analyzing data collected from 140 CIOs, the results suggest IT knowledge strengthens the social-strategic alignment relationship, business knowledge and structural power weaken the social–intellectual alignment relationship, and prestige power has no impact on the social-strategic alignment relationship. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The accumulation of data from various instrumental analytical instruments has paved a way for the application of chemometrics. Challenges, however, exist in processing, analyzing, visualizing, and storing these data. Chemometrics is a relatively young area of analytical chemistry that involves the use of statistics and computer applications in chemistry. This article will discuss various computational and storage tools of big data analytics within the context of analytical chemistry with examples, applications, and usage details in relation to fog computing. The future of fog computing in chemometrics will also be discussed. The article will dedicate particular emphasis to preprocessing techniques, statistical and machine learning methodology for data mining and analysis, tools for big data visualization, and state-of-the-art applications for data storage using fog computing.
Parallel Object Compositions for the Search of Sequences DNA Strings in the Construction of Gnomes
Authors: López Mario Rossainz , Pineda-Torres Ivo H. , Pineda Ivan Olmos , López José Arturo Olvera
Published: November 2018

Within an environment of parallel objects, an approach of structured parallel programming and the paradigm of the orientation to objects show a programming method based on high level parallel compositions or HLPCs to solve two problems of combinatorial optimization: grouping fragments of DNA sequences and the parallel exhaustive search (PES) of RNA strings that help the sequence and the assembly of DNAs. The pipeline and farm models are shown as HLPCs under the object orientation paradigm and with them it is proposed the creation of a new HLPCs that combines and uses the previous ones to solve the cited problems. Each HLPC proposal contains a set of predefined synchronization constraints between processes, as well as the use of synchronous, asynchronous and asynchronous future modes of communication. This article shows the algorithms that solve the problems, their design and implementation as HLPCs and the performance metrics in their parallel execution using multicores and video accelerator card.
Thinking Across Sectors
Authors: Buyana Kareem , Nadiope Moses J.
Published: November 2018

Cities are intersections of energy and health through climate change, air pollution, and resource flows. Most studies, however, build on either institutionalist or non-institutionalist approaches to energy-health interactions. Institutionalists discern the advantages of public-private partnerships, whereas the non-institutionalists analyze actor networks beyond the purview of the state. Little research has so far transcended institutionalist dimensions, to illuminate the congruence of formal and informal ways of organizing community actors using civic capacity as a resource in co-creating energy solutions for better health. The paper grounds energy-health interactions in cities in an institutional discourse, by building on the nuances of a case study in Kampala where a transient network of neighborhood groups take to scale energy-briquette making from organic waste as an incremental pathway to a cleaner city. The case study demonstrates the potential of energy-health initiatives at micro-scale in driving transitions to sustainability at city scale.
Simultaneous Optimization of Capacity Decision and Pricing Policy of a Hotel in Stochastic Demand Environment
Authors: Bagchi Shantanu Shankar
Published: November 2018

In the context of the hotel industry, one of the biggest and capital-intensive challenges a decision maker has is to decide on the capacity of the hotel. While taking this decision, the decision maker needs to take seasonality of demand into consideration. Also, the interplay between price and demand also play a major role on this decision. In this study, an effort is made to simultaneously identify the optimal capacity and pricing policy of a hotel in the presence of a stochastic demand environment. Differential calculus is used to identify the solution. Both capacity and price are considered as decision variables for the decision maker. To comply with reality, the seasonality in demand is incorporated in the form of bi-level demand. Numerical illustrations are also shown to explain the decision-making process. This study offers a starting point for an entrepreneur to decide both capacity and pricing for their upcoming hotel.
Stakeholder Fairness Under an Induced ‘Veil of Ignorance'
Authors: Sarkar Sumit , Chakraborty Soumyakanti
Published: November 2018

John Rawls introduced the ‘veil of ignorance' in social contract theory to bring about a common conception of justice, and hypothesized that it will enable rational individuals to choose distributive shares on basis of ‘maximin' principle. R. E. Freeman conceptualised stakeholder fairness using the Rawlsian ‘veil of ignorance'. In contrast to Rawls' theory, John Harsanyi postulated that rational individuals behind the ‘veil of ignorance' will choose allocation to maximise expected utility. This article investigates how subjects choose allocations behind the ‘veil of ignorance,' in a laboratory experiment, and interprets the findings in light of stakeholder fairness. The ‘veil of ignorance' was induced on randomly paired and mutually anonymous subjects, who were asked to choose allocations in a simultaneous move discrete choice Nash demand game. Both ‘maximin' principle and expected utility maximisation was found to be used by the subjects. Choice of allocations where no one is worse off vis-à-vis status quo was salient. This is consistent with Freeman's Principle of Governance.
Spectrum Trading Analyze in the Spectrum Sharing Framework in Cognitive Radio Networks
Authors: Yawada Prince Semba , Kiki Mesmin J. Mbyamm , Dong Mai Trung
Published: November 2018

The effective design of a cognitive radio network must take into account economic and technical aspects. This article presents a commercial formulation of the spectrum by the primary operators who decide to sell a part of their spectrum to a group of cognitive users in order to earn money and to promote the efficient use of the spectrum. Three systems of spectrum pricing are compared and suggested, such as the cooperative price based on the optimization of the profits, the market equilibrium, and the competitive prices focused on the competition of Bertrand. The Bertrand model examines the influences of certain parameters of the system such as the quality of the channel based on the Nash equilibrium and the substitutability of the spectrum. The differences in the various aspects of these systems of pricing are presented through the graphs. The authors note through the obtained result that the profit of the primary operator depends not only on the demand quantity of the spectrum but also on the behavior of the primary operators.

Both common and rare genetic variants of laccase domain-containing 1 (LACC1, previously C13orf31) are associated with inflammatory bowel disease, leprosy, Behcet disease, and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. However, the functional relevance of these variants is unclear. In this study, we use LACC1-deficient mice to gain insight into the role of LACC1 in regulating inflammation. Following oral administration of Citrobacter rodentium, LACC1 knockout (KO) mice had more severe colon lesions compared with wildtype (WT) controls. Immunization with collagen II, a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model, resulted in an accelerated onset of arthritis and significantly worse arthritis and inflammation in LACC1 KO mice. Similar results were obtained in a mannan-induced arthritis model. Serum and local TNF in CIA paws and C. rodentium colons were significantly increased in LACC1 KO mice compared with WT controls. The percentage of IL-17A–producing CD4+ T cells was elevated in LACC1 KO mice undergoing CIA as well as aged mice compared with WT controls. Neutralization of IL-17, but not TNF, prevented enhanced mannan-induced arthritis in LACC1 KO mice. These data provide new mechanistic insight into the function of LACC1 in regulating TNF and IL-17 during inflammatory responses. We hypothesize that these effects contribute to immune-driven pathologies observed in individuals carrying LACC1 variants.

Published: December 2018

Perivascular accumulation of lymphocytes can be a prominent histopathologic feature of various human inflammatory skin diseases. Select examples include systemic sclerosis, spongiotic dermatitis, and cutaneous lupus. Although a large body of work has described various aspects of the endothelial and vascular smooth muscle layers in these diseases, the outer adventitial compartment is poorly explored. The goal of the current study was to characterize perivascular adventitial fibroblast states in inflammatory human skin diseases and relate these states to perivascular lymphocyte accumulation. In normal skin, adventitial fibroblasts are distinguished by CD90 expression, and dense perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates are uncommon. In systemic sclerosis, this compartment expands, but lymphocyte infiltrates remain sparse. In contrast, perivascular adventitial fibroblast expression of VCAM1 is upregulated in spongiotic dermatitis and lupus and is associated with a dense perivascular T cell infiltrate. VCAM1 expression marks transitioned fibroblasts that show some resemblance to the reticular stromal cells in secondary lymphoid organs. Expanded adventitial compartments with perivascular infiltrates similar to the human settings were not seen in the inflamed murine dermis. This species difference may hinder the dissection of aspects of perivascular adventitial pathology. The altered perivascular adventitial compartment and its associated reticular network form a niche for lymphocytes and appear to be fundamental in the development of an inflammatory pattern.
Prevalence and Outcomes of Exposure to Catastrophic Events Among Athletic Trainers
Authors: Estock Patricia , Simon Janet E.
Published: December 2018

Context

Little is known about the prevalence of exposure to catastrophic events or how caring for athletes exposed to catastrophic events can influence burnout in athletic trainers (ATs).

Objective

To assess (1) the prevalence of exposure to catastrophic events, (2) the levels of burnout among ATs who have been exposed to catastrophic events, and (3) the coping strategies they used.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Online survey.

Patients or Other Participants

We invited 9881 certified members of the National Athletic Trainers' Association to participate in this study; 1007 surveys were completed, for a response rate of 10.2% (433 men, 572 women, and 2 who preferred not to answer the question).

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Participants completed an online survey to assess demographic information, exposure to a catastrophic event, and scores on the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). Scores on the MBI-HSS (personal accomplishment, depersonalization, and emotional exhaustion subscales) and CISS (avoidance, task, and emotion-oriented subscales) were determined. Two multivariate analyses of variance (one for MBI-HSS and one for CISS) were conducted using the independent variable of group (catastrophic event and no catastrophic event). The α level was set at P < .05 for all analyses.

Results

A total of 518 ATs (51.4%) reported providing care to athletes exposed to a catastrophic event and 489 (48.6%) did not. The group that reported providing care for athletes exposed to a catastrophic event had a significantly worse personal accomplishment score (46.1 ± 6.7) than the group that had never provided such care (44.6 ± 7.7; P < .05). The emotion-oriented score for those who had provided care for athletes exposed to a catastrophic event was 14.3 ± 4.8 versus 14.9 ± 4.2 for those who had not (P < .05), indicating less use of emotion-oriented coping strategies.

Conclusions

The ATs who provided care to athletes exposed to a catastrophic event could be more likely to suffer from a lack of personal accomplishment and exhibit task and emotion-oriented coping behaviors.
Changes in organ and body weight, serum amylase and antidiabetic effects of tannins from Spondias mombin on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Authors: Eluehike Nkeiruka , Onoagbe Iyere
Published: December 2018

Background: Medicinal plants have been used for centuries in the management of chronic diseases including diabetes.Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible antidiabetic effects and changes in serum amylase activities, body weight and organ weight of tannins from Spondias mombin on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.Setting: The study was conducted in the department of Biochemistry, University of Benin, Edo state, Nigeria.Methods: A total of 24 albino Wistar rats were divided into four groups (A through D). Group A served as the normal control. Diabetes was induced in rats of groups B, C and D by single-dose intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg body weight) to overnight-fasted rats. Only rats with fasting blood glucose ≥ 250 mg/dL were used for this study. Isolated tannins (100 mg/kg body weight) were administered to rats of group D only. Blood glucose was monitored on Day 0, Day 3, Day 10 and Day 21. After 21 days experimental period blood samples were collected and used for serum amylase activities. Tissues (liver, pancreas, heart and kidney) were excised out and weighed.Results: Tannins-treated rats showed a significant increase in body weight and serum amylase activity when compared with the diabetic control. Also, a significant decrease in blood glucose level was seen in the tannins-treated rats when compared with the diabetic control. A significant decrease in the weight of the pancreas and a significant increase in the weight of the liver were seen in the diabetic control rats when compared with the tannins-treated groups.Conclusion: Tannins of Spondias mombin have an antidiabetic effect and can restore serum amylase and body weight changes resulting from streptozotocin induction.

Hörmander type theorem on bi-parameter Hardy spaces for bi-parameter Fourier multipliers with optimal smoothness
Authors: Chen Jiao , Lu Guozhen
Published: December 2018

The main purpose of this paper is to establish, using the bi-parameter Littlewood–Paley–Stein theory (in particular, the bi-parameter Littlewood–Paley–Stein square functions), a Hörmander–Mihlin type theorem for the following bi-parameter Fourier multipliers on bi-parameter Hardy spaces

H^p(\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\!\times \mathbb{R}^{n_2})

(

0 < p\le 1

) with optimal smoothness:

T_mf(x_1, x_2)=\frac{1}{(2\pi)^{n_1+n_2}}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^m}m(\xi, \eta)\hat{f}(\xi, \eta)e^{2\pi(x_1\xi+x_2\eta)}\,d\xi \,d\eta.

One of our results (Theorem 1.7) is the following: assume that

m(\xi,\eta)

is a function on

\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\!\times \mathbb{R}^{n_1}

satisfying

\sup_{j,k\in \mathbb{Z}}\|m_{j,k}\|_{W^{(s_1,s_2)}}<\infty,

with

s_1 > n_1({1}/{p}-{1}/{2})

,

s_2 > n_2({1}/{p}-{1}/{2})

. Then

T_m

is bounded from

H^p(\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\!\times \mathbb{R}^{n_2})

to

H^p(\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\!\times \mathbb{R}^{n_2})

for all

0 < p\le 1

, and

\|T_m\|_{H^p\rightarrow H^p}\lesssim \sup_{j,k\in \mathbb{Z}}\|m_{j,k}\|_{W^{(s_1,s_2)}}.

Moreover, the smoothness assumption on

s_1

and

s_2

is optimal. Here,

m_{j,k}(\xi,\eta)=m(2^j\xi,2^k\eta)\Psi(\xi)\Psi(\eta)

, where

\Psi(\xi)

and

\Psi(\eta)

are suitable cut-off functions on

\mathbb{R}^{n_1}

and

\mathbb{R}^{n_2}

, respectively, and

W^{(s_1, s_2)}

is a two-parameter Sobolev space on

\mathbb{R}^{n_1}\!\times \mathbb{R}^{n_2}

. We also establish that under the same smoothness assumption on the multiplier

m

,

\|T_m\|_{H^p\rightarrow L^p}\!\lesssim\! \sup_{j,k\in \mathbb{Z}}\|m_{j,k}\|_{W^{(s_1,s_2)}}

and

\|T_m\|_{{\rm CMO}_p\rightarrow {\rm {CMO}}_p}\lesssim \sup_{j,k\in \mathbb{Z}}\|m_{j,k}\|_{W^{(s_1,s_2)}}

for all

0 < p\le 1

. Moreover,

\|T_m\|_{L^p\rightarrow L^p}\lesssim \sup_{j,k\in \mathbb{Z}}\|m_{j,k}\|_{W^{(s_1,s_2)}}

for all

1 < p < \infty

under the assumption

s_1 > n_1/2

and

s_2 > n_2/2

Multiplicative dependence of the translations of algebraic numbers
Authors: Dubickas Artūras , Sha Min
Published: December 2018

In this paper, we first prove that given pairwise distinct algebraic numbers

\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n

, the numbers

\alpha_1+t, \ldots, \alpha_n+t

are multiplicatively independent for all sufficiently large integers

t

. Then, for a pair

(a,b)

of distinct integers, we study how many pairs

(a+t,b+t)

are multiplicatively dependent when

t

runs through the set integers

\mathbb Z

. Assuming the

ABC

conjecture we show that there exists a constant

C_1

such that for any pair

(a,b)\in \mathbb Z^2

,

a \ne b

, there are at most

C_1

values of

t \in \mathbb Z

such that

(a+t,b+t)

are multiplicatively dependent. For a pair

(a,b) \in \mathbb Z^2

with difference

b-a=30

we show that there are 13 values of

t \in \mathbb Z

for which the pair

(a+t,b+t)

is multiplicatively dependent. We further conjecture that 13 is the largest number of such translations for any such pair

(a,b)

and prove this for all pairs

(a,b)

with difference at most

Die SachkundigEm wissen, wie lange diese Frage die sprachwissen­ schaftlichen Kreise beunruhigte, ohne irgendeine Klarheit in die sog. indouralische Frage zu bringen: um 1960 hatte man beim Bu­ chen nach den Beweisen für die Verwandtschaft beider Stämme erst nur etwa 40 Wortgleichungen und weniger als 20 Suffixgleichungen zur Verfügung. Seither änderte sich die Lage allmählich; den gemeinsamen Bemühungen der Forscher wie Collinder, Skalička, Rosenkranz, vor allem dem russischen Sprachwissenschaftler Illič­Svityč, gelang es, weitere verwandtschaftliche. Züge zwischen Indogermanisch und Uralisch nachzuweisen,so dass man aus den Arbeiten der genannten Forsc er heute etwa 100 Wortgleichungen und 25 Suffixgleichungen mit hohem Wahrscheinlichkeitsgrad anerkennen darf.

Lexical restrictions and pronoun distribution
Authors: Lǿnstrap Brita
Published: December 2018

“In the last analysis it is difficult to find a definition valid for all pronouns, though there is much in their often pecuiiar paradigms and usage to justify our setting them up as a separate word class" (Otto Jespersen). One of the peculiarities which serves to "justify" an interpretation of the pronoun (or, in this case, the Russian pronoun) as an independent word class is its completely unique distribution, that is, the syntactic combinations to which it lends itself.

Masdar arabo alla luce della teoria delle parti del discorso
Authors: Tanasković Darko
Published: December 2018

La divisione delle unità linguistiche in un numero determinato di categorie 0 di classi è una delle operazioni linguistiche storicamente più antiche. Uno studio linguistico sistematico non si sarebbe potuto nemmeno pensare senza un raggruppamento grammaticale delle unità lessicali della lingua. Questa suddivisione dovrebbe esprimere i rapporti formali, funzionali e semantici esistenti all'interno del sistema linguistico, soddisfacendo contemporaneamente determinate categorie filosofiche e logiche generalmente accettate. In tal modo la divisione ideale delle parole in categorie dovrebbe esprimere illegame tra la lingua naturale, il mondo delle rappresentazioni umane e della realtà obiettivamente esistente nella quale agisce l'umanità. Tenuto conto della complessità dei compiti posti dinanzi alla teoria delle parti del discorso non ci meraviglia la constatazione che al suo perfezionamento si sia lavorato intensamente e tenacemente; d'altra parte è altrettanto chiaro che anche la più perfetta delle suddivisioni delle parole in categorie finora compiuta non può soddisfare sotto tutti gli aspetti, nell'ambito di una sola lingua e tanto più, quindi, su un piano di linguistica generale.
Priimek Škerlj v sestavu današnjih slovenskih priimkov
Authors: Jakopin Franc
Published: December 2018

Ob priimku Škerlj srečamo v današnjem slovenskem priimkovnem sestavu precej variantnih zapisov, ki povzročajo v uradnih dokumentih veliko težav in nevšečnosti, raziskovalca priimkov pa lahko zapeljejo na napačno sled, ko jih skuša povezati z najustreznejšim apelativom. Razen osnovnih variant priimka je v slovenščini tudi več izpeljank, ki se po glasovnem ustroju osnove sicer ujemajo, v resnici pa jih moramo zaradi njihove zemljepisne razvrščenosti, različne pogostnosti in formalnih lastnosti razdvojiti. Takšno neenotno stanje so deloma izoblikovali različni narečni izgovori priimka, deloma pa gre tolikšna pisanost na račun umetnih adaptacij priimkov po bolj ali manj verjetnih asociacijah z različnimi apelativi; to je bilo v večji meri mogoče v času, ko pravni status priimkov še ni bil tako utrjen, kot je danes.

Linguistische phonetik

Obwohl die Phonetik eines der ältesten sprachwissenschaftlichen Fächer ist, ist ihre Stellung innerhalb der Sprachwissenschaft bei weitem nicht klar und scheint sogar zunehmend unklarer zu werden.

Sur ce plan, la dé- finition de Tesnière parlant des "mots vides sur le plan statique" et des "mots pleins sur le plan dynamique", ou encore des "mots pleins virtuels", nous paraît très juste et satisfaisante. Car il s' agit généralement des mots (pronoms et adjectifs - personnels; possessifs, démonstratifs, relatifs; verbe faire; adverbes ainsi, aussi, comme ça, là etc.) qui reprennent les antécédents auxquels ils se refèrent et par rapport auxquels ils sont "anaphoriques". La question de la fréquente anticipation des anaphoriques n' est qu' un probleme secondaire (p. ex.: Elle nous embête, la bonne femme. C 'est inoui, cette histoire. Il a vite fait de se barrer).
Problematika saopštavanja nekih književnih pojmova u italijanskim enciklopedijskim rečnicima
Authors: Popović Milica
Published: December 2018

Enciklopedijski rečnik u jednoj svesci pored toga što je praktičan može biti i vrlo koristan, tj. izvanredan je posrednik. mnogostruke tematike koju saopštava na više manje koncizan način. Dve do tri hiljade stranica zbijenih, sitnih redova otkrivaju upečatljive pojedinosti iz bilo koje oblasti, tj. pružaju prvo neophodne osnovne priloge. Već u samom osnovnom prilogu saopštenja mogu biti dovoljno informativna, dovoljno iscrpna a često i sasvim zadovoljavajuča. U većini slučajeva odatle se mogu iscrpsti mnoge pojedinosti, čak i sa obiljem podataka, kao i definicije raznih pojmova, a često osnovni prilog može dovoljno da odredi ili potvrdi i koncepciju bilo koje tematike. Može da pruži i potrebnu preciznost možda kog vremenskog perioda, vrste roda, osobinu značenja i u prenosnom smislu, ili koju etimološku, istorijsku, umetničku, literarnu itd. funkciju datog pojma. Prema tome, uglavnom, i cenimo pravi izraz mere u kojoj se sistematičnost, kao glavna osobina enciklopedijskih saopštenja, pozitivno odražava. Medjutim, o efikasnosti i zadovoljavajućoj doslednosti materijala koji crpemo, razume se, možemo suditi u onom obimu do kojeg doseže poznavanje razvojne linije delatnosti koju pratimo.
Inflection of modern Icelandic nouns, adjectives and adverbs
Authors: Orešnik Janez
Published: December 2018

The present paper is a list of Modern Icelandic nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, analysed into their respective stems and endings; the declension of the suffixed definite article is also included. Under each item it is stated which rules, if any, apply in the derivation of its grammatical forms. The following items of the list should be consulted for new phonological rules: (3), (11), (12), and (133). A grammatical innovation has been implemented in the list, namely the so-called REPLACING ENDINGS. These are not added after the last segment of the stem, as endings usually are, but replace the last segment(s) of the stem. More is said on replacing endings in the Introduction.
Etruscan Malena "mirror"

Etruscan malena "mirror" is an adjective in -(e)na derived from *mal "to look, to see" as Slavic *zьrkadlo "mirror" (SCr. zȑcalo, Russ. zérkalo etc.) came from *zьrkati "to look, to see" (Russ. dial zérkat' compare OSL zьrěti etc.).

Putovanja Alberta Fortisa u Ljubljanu (Dopuna ka Linguistica XV)
Authors: Muljačić Žarko
Published: December 2018

Naknadno sam ustanovio, da u rukopisnom odjeljenju Accademia Virgiliana di scienze, lettere ed arti u Mantovi postoji 14 pisama, koja je A. Fortis uputio Giangirolamu Carliju, tajniku te Akademije. U nijdužem od njih (Venezia, 2 aprile 1777), koje je doduše pisala krasopisom druga ruka ali koje je Fortis potpisao, nalazi se, uklopljen u prigodni početak i svršetak, Fortisov 1778. god. u Milanu tiskani članak o putu u Ljubljanu; on je dakle, kao neka vrst preprinta, bio umnožen u više prijepisa, koje je Fortis slao svojim prijateljima, u prvom redu G. Carliju, kome je posvečen i tiskani članak. Iz datuma je jasno, da se to putovanje ima smjestiti u ožujak 1777. , dakle kratko prije nastanka tog pisma.
Un presunto slavismo nell' opera di Pietro Aretino
Authors: Cortelazzo Manlio
Published: December 2018

Pietro Aretino usa almeno due volte una curiosa espressione, che ha tutta l'aria di ripetere una formula popolare, anche se, almeno finora, non risulta attestata altrove, se si esclude un infelice rinvio del Florio (utilizzatore, del resto, delle opere dell'Aretino), che nel Queen Anna's New World of Words (London, 1611) accoglie "Sdraù, used for Esdraù. Looke Esdraù", dimenticando poi di registrare Esdrau  al suo posto alfabetico. Nella terza giornata del Dialogo nel guale la Nanna insegna a la Pippa, del 1536 (a p. 290 dell' ediz. Aquilecchia: Bari,  1969) di una donna di partito si chiede: -Non dici tu che ella è carne d'Isdraù, che chi ne mangia una volta non ne vuol più? E 1'interpellata risponde: - Io ti ho detto che ella era robba da quattro soldi.
Pagine di storia linguistica Istrianas VII

Nella prima di queste Pagine (= "Bollettino del Centro per lo Studio dei Dialetti Veneti dell'Istria" 2, 1973-74, pp.31-42) è stato toccata quello che a mio avviso è un argomento di grossa rilevanza storica, ossia la presenza in Istria. dei Lon­ gobardi e la loro incidenza linguistico-culturale: ivi discu­ tevo uno di tali riflessi linguistici (plovīna "aratro asim­ metrico "); ora credo di poter riaprire il discorso più gene­ rale introducendo un nuovo elemento di giudizio.
L'uso dei tempi passati nei quotidiani pubblicati nelle lungue romanze con particolare riguardo all'Italiano*
Authors: Savić Momčilo D.
Published: December 2018

Non c'è dubbio che i quotidiani, seguendo l'uso di tutti i mezzi comunicativi rivolti ai ceti più larghi, si riducono - se vogli­ amo esaminarne il lessico, la morfologia e la sintassi o, per meglio dire, la stilistica nel suo insieme - a una espressione linguistica che dovrebbe esser comprensibile a tutti quelli nelle cui mani pervengano. In altre parole, si tratta di espressioni linguistiche che non dovrebbero essere estranee alle masse, sia dal punto di vista lessicale sia da quello morfologico e sin­tattico. Dato poi che è difficile pervenire a un corpo che in­cludesse la lingua parlata, abbiamo deciso di sottoporre alla nostra analisi la lingua dei quotidiani, stimando di potervi trovare, se non una lingua parlata al livello nazionale, almeno un suo aspetto.
Syntaxe et/ou semantique a propos du subjonctif Français
Authors: Globevnik Darja
Published: December 2018

Dans l'article, après avoir examine brièvement les caractéristiques de l'approche syntaxique et de l'approche sémantique l'emploi du subjonctif dans les complétives, nous passons à un reexamen sémantique des examples précédemment analysés d'un point de vue syntaxique par M.Gross. En constatant que les faits sémantiques ne corroborent pas la grande arbitrariété de l'emploi du subjonctif qui résulte de l'analyse syntaxique, on finit par observer que les deux approches, l'approche syntaxique et l'approche sémantique, bien que méthodologiquement de préférence bien distinctes, sont en dernière analyse complémentaires vu l'aspiration à atteindre une compréhension complète de ce sujet complexe.

On the lack of palatalization before –end- in the plural of Icelandic nominalized present participles such as Leikandi.
Authors: Orešnik Janez
Published: December 2018

This paper discusses the velar pronunciation of the root final segments in the plural of the Icelandic nominalized present participles, e.g. in leikend-, the plural of leikandi "actor". Since k(k)and g(g) are pronounced palatal before e in other old words(e.g. in akkeri "anchor"), the velar pronunciation of leikend- and similar words requires an expla­ nation. I see in the non-application of the palatalisation rule (while that rule operated before e; it is by no means certain that it still does) to leikend- and similar words the effect of Kiparsky's phonological universal ("Neutralization processes apply only to derived inputs") as modified in Orešnik 1979 (substrings crucially involving word-derivational morpheme boundaries are not derived inputs). Thus the /k+e/ of leikend- is not a derived input, and the palatal1sation rule, a neutralisation process, does not apply to it.
I nomi delle feste mariane nelle lungue slave
Authors: Ferluga-Petronio Fedora
Published: December 2018

Nell'articolo l'autrice traccia un' analisi lessicale ed etimologioa delle feste Mariana nelle lingua slave.Vengono prese in considerazione tre fra, le principali feste di Ma­ rla, tuttora celebrate sia dalla Ohiesa cattolica sia dalla Ohiesa ortodossa: l'Annunciazione, l'Assunzione, la Nascita di Maria.L'Immacolata Concezione, festa comandata presso i cattolici, e la Presentazione di Maria al Tempio, una delle dodici grandi feste ortodosse, sono meno interessanti dal punto di vista linguistico, in quanto semplioemente calchi del le denominazioni mfficiali latina e greche. Per le singole feste viene tracciata anche una breve introduzione storica, onde poter meglio capire l'origine ed a volte l' etimo dei termini in questione.
Unmuffling the 'muffel'
Authors: Hietsch Otto
Published: December 2018

It is only once or twice in a lifetime that an individ­ ual may decide to buy himself an encyclopaedic dictionary. Whether.unilingual or bilingual, the purchase of a lexicon. is (punning unintentional) a weighty matter to consider, and guidance will invariably be sought from someone who is looked upon as an insider. However, a bookseller, with such an interesting customer in sight, will probably be more than ready to claim the virtues of precision-and all­ inclusiveness for the volume or volumes on the desk before him. Moreover, the pamphletsbrochures and other advertis­ ing matter brought out by a publisher cannot be expected to be less biased either, and prospective customers will find themselves waylaid by phrases like "with this diction­ ary we have reached the limits of lexicographical up-to­ dateness."

The origin of the cliticness of the west Germanic definite article: the case of Beowulf
Authors: Orešnik Janez
Published: December 2018

The present paper is mainly concerned with the definite ar­ ticle of Beowulf. The literature about the West Germanic definite article has always allotted a prime place among the old Germanic texts to this poem: it is undisputably archaic (Kuhn 1933: 105, D. Hofmann 1959:189), and suitable for statistical genera­lisations. Its more than 6,000 hemistichs contain about 300 in­stances of the. definite article (Lichtenheld 1872:332).
Productive Second elements in nominal compounds: the matching of Englis and German
Authors: Hietsch Otto
Published: December 2018

Amongst the treasured reminders of my postgraduate years in England, I cherish a sizable sheaf of manuscript pages, now yellow with age. They are in the hand of Sir William Craigie, that venerable pioneer of lexicographical study. The neat and delicate lines trace out the beginnings of a new venture. Sir William was making a record of the nominal compounds in Beowulf: they are arrayed under the banners of various headwords, each of which, as a glance will show, is a   s e c o n d element of composition. Alas, work on the project was never completed, nor are the present generation of Anglo-Saxonists aware of the particular line of argument Sir William had in mind when he set out to re-list the Beowulf compound vocabu­ lary.
Studies in the Albanian vocabulary (Balkan etymologies 76.- 91)
Authors: Orel Vladimir E.
Published: December 2018

Alb.gloq  'matter from eyes, rheum (in eyes); testis', dial. gĕuq id.(Cipo 1954, 14li Kristoforidhi 1961,'-114; Marin 1948, 128) is synonymous with g(ĕ) lepë and it seems quite probable that both of them are morphologically similar. This structural resemblance is of special importance, since the etymology of gloq is unknown, while it is widely accepted.that g(ë)lepë re- flects Proto-Albanian (= PAlb.) prefix *ka- and the stem *laipa derived from IE *leip - 'to stick, to cling' (cf. Skt. avalepa­ 'ointment' < *oųo-loipa). Postulating the same prefix (gë) - < PAlb. *ka- in gloq, gëluq, one comes to a stem -loq /-luq­ which it is correct to identify with loqe 'penis, testis' rela­ ted to Lith. liaukà 'gland'. Both loqe and liaukà reflect a long diphthong in *lēuk- connected with IE *leuk   'white'. The matter from eyes is actually white and IE *leuk fis the desi­ gnation of this kind of pus as well as the term for glands (cf. Slav. *belbmo 'wall-eye'< *belb 'white'). Another semantic pattern is represented in a(ë)lepë, with a very interesting pa­ rallei in Lat. lippus 'discharging matter (from the eyes)' con­ nected with IE *leip-.

The-Greek word   (Archilochos, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristoteles), Dor. ní&anos: "ape", ní-&wv, -wvoi; "little ape" (Pindaros) does not have any convincible Indo-European etymology. The old comparison with Lat. foedus "beastly, foul" etc. is obviously improbable and the word is rather bor­rowed from an unknown source.
Hittite huelpi- “Young, tender, fresh” and ie +Hulp-, +Hlup-

The following contribution offers a new etymology of the Hittite term huelpi- which can through  IE root +Huelep- be related to IE +Hulp-, +Hlup- »fox, wolf, cat«.The relation indicates that the old expression for naming offerings to the gods is hidden in the IE forms +Hulp-, +Hlup-.
