(In Some Fictions) Everything is True
Authors: Estrada González Luis
Published: July 2018

I defend the idea that there are universal fictions, and that the Routley-Deutsch-Kapsner way of generating them – namely, with a story including deliberately and explicitly the proposition Everything is true – is still the best one. I reconstruct Wildman and Folde’s Finean criticisms to universal fictions a la Routley-Deutsch-Kapsner based on the idea that the universal quantifier in such fictions may not target the intended range of quantification, that is, all propositions. I show that Wildman and Folde’s argument does not succeed, for they fail to show that every universal sentence has to be understood as involving a restricted quantifier.
Logically Impossible Worlds
Authors: Tanaka Koji
Published: July 2018

What does it mean for the laws of logic to fail? My task in this paper is to answer this question. I use the resources that Routley/Sylvan developed with his collaborators for the semantics of relevant logics to explain a world where the laws of logic fail. I claim that the non-normal worlds that Routley/Sylvan (with his collaborators) introduced are exactly such worlds. To disambiguate different kinds of impossible worlds, I call such worlds logically impossible worlds. At a logically impossible world, the laws of logic fail. In this paper, I provide a definition of logically impossible worlds. I then show that there is nothing strange about admitting such worlds.
The Urgency of the Greening of Ethics
Authors: Malavisi Anna
Published: July 2018

Richard Sylvan, a vanguard in the field of environmental philosophy published a book in 1994 with David Bennett titled The Greening of Ethics. Nearly twenty-five years later, where the environmental situation of our world is even more serious, and where some governments deny the existence and negative effects of human caused climate change, the greening of ethics is even more urgent. In this paper, I revisit Sylvan’s and Bennett’s work arguing that their approach to environmental ethics should be one that is advocated. I consider the most salient features of their approach, how this translates into practice but also offer an analysis as to why some governments have reached an impasse in regard to implementing environmental policies, and why environmental ethics still remains on the margins. In the final section of this paper, I discuss what an effective practice would mean.

Role Development of Nurse Managers in The Changing Health Care Practice
Authors: Acob Joel Rey Ugsang , Martiningsih Wiwin
Published: July 2018

Rapid changes in todayâ€™s healthcare industry are reshaping nursesâ€™ role. The emergence of new healthcare system, the shift from service to business orientations, and extensive redesign of workplace affects the where and how nursing care is delivered as well as those who delivered the care. In the Philippines, healthcare system is in the midst of dramatic evolvement- the devolution of hospitals to LGUs, free healthcare for senior citizens and no balance billing policy yielding to increased client-nurse ratio. These impacts change the roles of nurse managers and their practice. The study aimed to understand the experience and phenomena of nurse managers, their roles in the dynamics of healthcare practice, and seek ways to enhance the development of these roles. The study used descriptive phenomenology-qualitative design, and utilized Colaizzi method during data analyses. Through researcher-made guide questions, the study employed purposively nurse managers as key informants from tertiary hospitals that experienced devolution using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The researchers conducted interviews with audio- tapes that then later transcribed. The study revealed that nurse managers encountered challenges in the workplace like deprivation of responsibility, less administrative support that challenged their responsibili- ties. The nurse managers identified new roles that they have developed over time like Carative-managerial role, responsibility to educate and the responsibility to the nursing profession. They are believers that the enhancement of such roles is realized through rest and recreation among staffs to avoid burnout and exhaustion, acquiring continuing professional education, clinical teaching and mentoring skills strategies to understand better human behavior. The researchers recommends consumption of such study findings as basis for improving hospital facilities for the provision of patient safety, revisiting and strengthening the hiring and screening policies for new nurses, administrative support for staff development and as basis to conduct further studies on the emerging roles to other settings.

The Experience of Melancholy in “Domestic Comedies” by Hanoch Levin
Authors: Fizgał-Janikowska Magdalena
Published: July 2018

The article attempts to depict the experience of melancholy in family dramas by an Israeli playwright Hanoch Levin. With regard to their themes Levin’s domestic comedies can be divided into dramas of ‘lonely hearts’, ‘family relationships’, and ‘neighborhood’. What is common to these three groups of dramas is the gallery of the same personae – melancholy men: depressed, detached subjects, deprived of any possibility of symbolization.

Firstly, melancholy appears to be a general condition of the depicted world; secondly, it is deeply related to the inner dramas of personae of the drama – their embodiment and their perception of the world. The condition of male and female characters in Levin’s domestic comedies is determined by the longing for the past and the sadness of passive existence.

The basic purpose of the article is to provide an analysis of the selected issues in the context of psychoanalytical readings of melancholy, especially Sigmund Freud’s as well Julia Kristeva’s works. This perspective allows to elucidate the melancholic condition of dramatis personae, and also to describe some complicated relationships between them (especially the relation between mother-figure and the son).
“Our flame, the will-o’-the-wisp that dances in a few eyes, is soon to be blown out and all will fade” – Modern Literary Nostalgia as Death Mood
Authors: Salmose Niklas
Published: July 2018

This article argues that there is a difference between nostalgic emotion and nostalgic mood and that the latter one often is a result of nostalgia’s inevitable link to death, entropy and teleology. It examines how nostalgic tropes, such as ruins, childhood, youth, astronomical representations, and subjective time (duration), inherited from the romantic poetry function as, and create, nostalgic death moods and retardations of eschatology in modernist fiction.

Authors: Guefradj Najet
Published: July 2018

The national water saving of a country as a result of trade in a certain commodity is calculated as the net import volume of this commodity times the water footprint of the commodity per commodity unit in the country considered. A negative sign means a net national water loss instead of a saving. Here, green water savings through the trade of industrial and agricultural products are considered.

Annual estimations are given for the period 1996-2005, in million cubic meter per year. In the table, data are also disaggregated per commodities: crop products, animal products, and industrial products.

Experimental Study of a Diesel Engine Performance Fueled with Different Types of Nano-Fuel.
Authors: Nassir Abdulkhodor Kathum , Shahad Haroun A. K.
Published: July 2018

The aim of this experimental work is to study the effect of nanoparticles added to diesel fuel on engine performance characteristic. Nano fuels are prepared by adding Al2O3 or TiO2, both with particle size less than 45nm of diesel fuel. Four doses of each type namely (25, 50, 100 and 150) ppm are prepared. These nanoparticles are blended with diesel fuel in varying volume fraction by the means of an electric mixer and an ultrasonicator. The Nano fuels are (DF+Al2O3) and (DF+TiO2). Physicochemical properties of nano fuels are measured and compared with these of neat diesel. The study shows that the addition of nanoparticles to diesel fuel improves its physical properties such as cetane number, thermal conductivity and viscosity. The influence of nanoparticles addition is very clear on the engine performance. The results show that the performance parameters are improved for example, brake thermal efficiency is increased from 19.4% for diesel to 21% and 25% for DF+Al2O3 and DF+TiO2 respectively, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is decreased by 8% and 20% for DF+Al2O3 and DF+TiO2 respectively, the brake specific energy consumption (BSFC) is decreased by 8% and 20% for DF+Al2O3 and DF+TiO2 respectively at 25ppm and 75% load. The exhaust gas temperature is 382°C for pure diesel while it is 417°C for DF+Al2O3 and 353°C for DF+TiO2. The peak pressure for pure diesel is 62 bar and it increases with DF+Al2O3 to 66.2 bar as for DF+TiO2 the peak pressure decreases to 57.2 bar at full load and 150ppm.

DETERMINATION OF GLYCOGEN IN BEE ORGAN TISSUES AS AN ENERGY METABOLISM PARAMETER
Authors: Serduchenko I. V. , Gugushvili N. N.
Published: July 2018

New method of glycogen determination in bee organ tissues, considerably different from the existing ones, was suggested. Ghoreishi’s colorimetric method used today is time-, labor- and cost-consuming as the major reagent – orcin – is quite expensive. Comparison of cost-effectiveness of the two methods demonstrated that the proposed technique makes it possible to reduce expenses by using a more available and less expensive resorcin instead of orcin and reducing total test time from 4 to 3 hours 5 minutes. Glycogen contents determination using the updated method was performed in bees of four breeds: Italian-Carpathian, Carpathian, Oka, gray Caucasus mountain honeybees. It was determined that the Oka honeybees demonstrated the highest glycogen level. It is known that the higher is glycogen contents in organs and tissues the better is energy metabolism in insects. Consequently, honeybees of Oka breeds have higher resistance to unfavorable weather conditions and can produce progeny with a higher level of immunity. So, the specified method of glycogen determination in bee organ tissues increases the accuracy of diagnosis and plays a very important role in determining the level of energy metabolism in insects and will be useful for apiculture.

Why some governments are ‘less’ open: Sketching out Models of Information Management
Authors: Francoli Mary
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this article is to consider why some national governments have been able to successfully take steps toward open government while others have not. In doing this it outlines two models of information management: a reactive model and a proactive model. Ultimately, it is found that governments following a reactive model, characterized by strong informational control and a lack of high-level political and bureaucratic support for open government, cannot fully or successfully realize open government.
Internal Security Institutions Meeting Internet Governance. A comparative view on the UK and Germany
Authors: Röllgen Jasmin , Bug Mathias
Published: July 2018

The internet stays a high potential infrastructure of open interaction, hence, governmental desires in monitoring the internet are growing. A demonstrative example might be the attempts to make any technology based communication ‘traceable’ with the help of a European scheme of data retention (EU direction 2006/24/EC) and its national ratifications. Regarding this, two theses come up: First, governments try to achieve their logic of ‘real life’ internal security also within the internet regime. Second, the internet changed the society in so far as it opened space for new relevant communities and actors – lobbying more and more on institutionalised paths. This will be shown by analysing the processes in the UK and Germany. A focus will lie on each national implementation of the EU’s data retention directive. Societal and especially political differences will find some notion as well, as they build the framework of any political decision making process.

Understanding E-Democracy Government-Led Initiatives for Democratic Reform
Authors: Freeman Julie , Quirke Sharna
Published: July 2018

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) offer opportunities for greater civic participation in democratic reform. Government ICT use has, however, predominantly been associated with e-government applications that focus on one-way information provision and service delivery. This article distinguishes between e-government and processes of e-democracy, which facilitate active civic engagement through two-way, ongoing dialogue. It draws from participation initiatives undertaken in two case studies. The first highlights efforts to increase youth political engagement in the local government area of Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom. The second is Iceland’s constitutional crowdsourcing, an initiative intended to increase civic input into constitutional reform. These examples illustrate that, in order to maintain legitimacy in the networked environment, a change in governmental culture is required to enable open and responsive e-democracy practices. When coupled with traditional participation methods, processes of e-democracy facilitate widespread opportunities for civic involvement and indicate that digital practices should not be separated from the everyday operations of government. While online democratic engagement is a slowly evolving process, initial steps are being undertaken by governments that enable e-participation to shape democratic reform.
Re-situating metadata to sustain data-intensive citizenship
Authors: Li Ben
Published: July 2018

This paper examines data-intensive citizenship in terms of access to data and metadata, relative to context, variety, and sustainability. It asks how metadata might help stakeholders to engage more varieties of data, and to shift the contexts of data, in order to sustain the exercise of data-intensive citizenship. Examining the case of a quasi-governmental agency that operates at local through international scales, this paper highlights the critical importance to data-intensive citizenship of citizens’ direct connection with phenomena underpinning data.
Refereeing eParticipation in the Newsroom: The Work Routines and Competences of a News Portal’s Discussion Administrators
Authors: Smith Simon
Published: July 2018

This paper describes the work routines and justificatory vocabulary of online discussion administrators (or admins) based on a case study of a newspaper renowned for its positive outlook on eParticipation. Drawing on interviews and ethnographic observation in the newsroom, it shows how admins deploy a wide range of skills associated with a role that can best be likened to that of a judge or referee, far from the image of the community builder associated with the positive myth about journalism and eParticipation. Although anchored in a sense of the journalistic craft, they distance admin work cognitively from an editorial process and pose problems for workers' professional identity. The paper offers important insights about how an organisation and a profession coped with the need to integrate new tasks resulting from technological change and how the informational value of user-generated content and the participatory competences of online discussants are being actively negotiated.
The Digital Political Communication of South Korean Politicians
Authors: Hermanns Heike
Published: July 2018

The internet and social media have been credited with the potential to reinvigorate democracy by offering new avenues of political participation and communication between citi-zens and politicians. The results of empirical studies, however, call for caution, as many politi-cians refrain from fully exploring the interactive potential of new media. This case study focus-es on the web presence of Korean parliamentarians, using basic statistical analyses to explore the use of ICT as a means of political communication. It finds that Korean parliamentarians are less active online, treating ICT mainly as another channel for information distribution. It is thus concluded that ICT is not revolutionizing politics but reinforcing existing patterns of communi-cation that leave a gap between citizens and representatives. This paper was previously submit-ted to CeDem Asia 2016. The literature review and the methodology section have been expand-ed, and additional statistical data as well as further findings on Twitter were added.

Beberapa kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Jawa Tengah merupakan daerah dengan masalah leptospirosis, termasuk Kabupaten Purworejo. Kasus leptospirosis di Kabupaten Purworejo mulai dilaporkan tahun 2005, tetapi informasi dan laporan tentang hewan penular/reservoir jenis tikus dan keberadaan bakteri leptospira pada tikus dan cecurut masih belum banyak dikaji. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji reservoir leptospira yang ditemukan dan gambaran serovar yang menginfeksinya di Kabupaten Purworejo. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Bendosari, Kecamatan Gebang, pada bulan Mei - Juni 2011. Penelitian ini merupakan survei potong lintang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan penangkapan dan pemeriksaan bakteri leptospira dengan metode MAT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah tikus dan cecurut yang tertangkap sebanyak 30 ekor. Prevalensi tikus dan cecurut yang paling banyak tertangkap, yaitu spesies Rattus tanezumi (66,67%), tertangkap di dalam rumah (66,67%) dan berjenis kelamin betina (60%). Sebanyak 30% tikus dan cecurut terinfeksi bakteri leptospira dengan titer pengenceran >1:40 dan serovar yang menginfeksi L. sarmin, L. semaranga, L. javanica, L. icterohaemorrhagie, L. patoc, dan L. Sejroe. Tikus rumah dan cecurut mempunyai potensi untuk menularkan leptospira pada manusia.

Published: July 2018

Rust diseases are serious threats to New Zealand cereal crops. Beside the use of fungicides, resistant varieties are an important option for managing these diseases. Changes in rust pathotypes commonly occur due to mutations in existing populations or exotic incursions. Information on these changes is the basis of gene-based disease management. Rust-infected leaves were collected from cereal crops from 2012 to 2015. The pathotypes of these and some historic samples were determined in glasshouse studies, using specific differential host sets. Eight pathotypes of Puccinia triticina (Pt, causal agent of wheat leaf rust), five of P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst, causal agent of wheat stripe rust) and two of P. hordei (Ph, causal agent of barley leaf rust) were identified. The Pst ‘WA’ pathotype was most frequently found. Wheat varieties ‘Empress’ and ‘Torch’, previously resistant to Pt, were found to be susceptible to leaf rust for the first time. The ‘WA’ pathotype of Pst is likely to have arrived in New Zealand from Australia, and is now widespread. The two Pt pathotypes could have overcome resistance gene Lr24 in ‘Empress’ and ‘Torch’.

Authors: Petrova Svetlana Andreevna
Published: July 2018

The article deals with the development of the artistic image of the string in A. A. Fet’s works. The image connects the verbal art of literature with the art of music and is included in the verbal composition of the works in a special way. A. A. Fet forms his own image of the string in interaction with the tradition created by F. I. Tyutchev and I. S. Turgenev, entering into an intermedial and intertextual dialogue with the authors. Within the framework of the research, the paper reveals artistic euphonic techniques used by the indicated writers: alliteration, anaphora, epiphora, including intraphrasal one, assonances. In A. A. Fet’s creativity, the intermedial image of the string is included in and structures a special meta-story connected with the theme of love and human relations.
THE PORTRAIT IN THE STORY “CONFUSION OVER NOTHING” BY A. I. SOFRONOV
Authors: Semenova Valentina Grigor'evna
Published: July 2018

The article is devoted to the study of the creativity of the Yakut prose initiator Anempodist Sofronov. The author notes that the writer was one of the first in national prose to give extensive portrait characteristics of heroes, detailing a person’s appearance. It is ascertained that a person’s character in the stories corresponds to his / her appearance: the appearance of positive characters is attractive and harmoniously combined with their inner world, and negative characters are mainly represented in a satirical vein. Grace and plastic movements stand out in women’s portraits. When creating caricature portraits, the techniques of grotesque, antithesis, pronounced speech characteristics are used. The author comes to the conclusion that the literary description of a person’s appearance and psychological portrait in A. Sofronov’s works are subordinated to one and the same objective - the disclosure of a character’s personality.

Published: July 2018

The article is aimed at the consideration of the connection of language and culture represented by national and cultural connotations. The study of connotative meanings promotes the identification of culturally significant information, which is one of the criteria of the determination of the level of language proficiency and a favorable condition for intercultural communication. This article presents the results of the comparative analysis of the English lexical-semantic group “eye” and the Tatar lexical-semantic group “ күз ”. The detailed study of the semantic structures of these lexical-semantic groups enables to identify the typology of national-connotative meanings in English and Tatar. The work also notes differential connotative meanings, which determine the degree of correlation and divergence of cultural codes of representatives of different nationalities and ethnic groups, such as English and Tatar.

Authors: Essina Irina Yur'evna , Semenova Ella Vladimirovna
Published: July 2018

The article analyzes difficulties of the translation of set expressions (phraseological units) out of context. Variability and possibility of further rethinking of the source material not only on the basis of literalization and obvious signs, but also on the basis of “second guessing” are shown. The authors come to the conclusion that the cause of the complexity of translating English legal set phrases (phraseological units) out of context is often associated not only with incorrect singling out of the hidden seme, but also with the peculiarity of national and cultural differences between similar phraseological units in two different languages.
DIALOGICAL RESPONSES WITH THE ALTERNATIVE QUESTION STRUCTURE IN INFORMAL INTERVIEW
Authors: Koval'chuk Nadezhda Vladimirovna
Published: July 2018

By the material of informal interview, the article illustrates how a subject of speech, basing on the grammatical structure of an alternative question, realizes feedback with positive pragmatic potential, and the addressee, taking into account the contextual factor, interprets the current speech intentions of the interlocutor precisely as the desire to prevent a potentially maturing conflict. For the purpose stated in the paper, a hundred fragments of informal interviews have been collected using the method of continuous sampling, illustrating the focus of the speaking subject (in the overwhelming majority of cases - the interviewer) on constructive communication with the respondent, whose answer projects potentially the conflict in casual conversation. Feedback is manifested by the alternative disjunctive construction in seven cases out of a hundred.

The article summarizes the author’s observations on the use of the voice forms of the English verb. It opens with the brief overview of opinions on the category of voice in English. However, the focus is on the cases of neutralization of voice meanings. Two types of neutralization are considered in the work: the tendency of the English verb to use the voice form to express non-voice meanings; the use of an unmarked member of the opposition of a number of verbs to express meanings that are characteristic for both active and passive forms. This is the novelty of the annotated article.
