Published: October 2018

The effects of the water content in rice cake and the acid concentration of the acidulant on the acid soaking characteristics of rice cakes for tteokbokki were investigated in this study. Mixture ratio (rice flour : water) varied among 6.0:4.0, 5.5:4.5, and 5.7:4.3, with two acid concentrations (5% and 10%). Peleg model was applied to describe the acid soaking process of rice cakes in tteokbokki (R2>0.9679). During acid soaking, the absorption rate and the amount of hydrogen ion were higher as the amount of added water increased and the concentration of acid rose in soaking water. Based on the model parameters, the acid soaking time to achieve the target hydrogen ion content (100 mol/mm3) was estimated. At the target pH of 4.0, the increase rate (%) of moisture content with acid soaking showed a higher value for the 6.0:4.0 sample having 5% acid. On the other hand, the highest amount of acid absorption shown for the 5.5:4.5 sample had 10% soaking. The acid soaking characteristics were strongly dependent on the mixture ratio and the acid concentration. The quality characteristics such as TPA parameters and color showed that the high water ratio in mixtures and the high concentration of acid solution showed no significant changes after soaking.

Authors: Kim Honggyun , Kim Myeongjun , Chung Heajung
Published: October 2018

This study was conducted to optimize the blending ratio of kimchi seasoning through the perception of consumers of commercial kimchi, and to develop the best kimchi sauce. Surveys on 189 women were conducted and the optimum kimchi recipe was selected using the response optimization tool for the proportion of fermented anchovy sauce, saltedfermented shrimp, and water in the ingredients of kimchi. 41.3% of the respondents were under 30 years of age, and most of the respondents were housewives and students. The reason for purchasing kimchi products is because it has become troublesome and economically burdensome to make it at home, and the younger generation of Koreans does not know how to make it. Also, the smaller the number of family members is, the higher the tendency to buy commercial kimchi becomes because the members eat less kimchi. The reason one does not want to purchase commercial kimchi is lack of trust in the ingredients, and high price. The rank of kimchi based on taste appears in the order of savory taste, pungent taste, salted seafood taste, salty taste, and sweet taste. The optimal ratio of myeolchi aekjeot (fermented anchovy sauce), water, and saeujeot (salted-fermented shrimp) was 27.12: 62.88: 10.00 (w/w).

Published: October 2018

Este trabajo tiene como finalidad revelar la estructura territorial del turismo en Santiago, Nuevo León, municipio perteneciente a la zona metropolitana de Monterrey. Se explica, desde un punto de vista geográfico, el arreglo y articulación del turismo en el territorio, para ello se alude a la distribución de los recursos naturales y culturales, así como de la infraestructura y servicios que atienden a esta actividad económica, y se examina la procedencia geográfica de los visitantes, que transitan por distintos canales de comunicación hacia Santiago. Los resultados indican que la demarcación municipal posee una diversidad de recursos, en particular de índole natural, que soportan su promoción como destino turístico, sin embargo, el crecimiento del turismo en esta localidad depende, en gran medida, de lo que acontece en la ciudad de Monterrey, lugar de pernocta de una proporción importante de los visitantes que llegan a Santiago y desde donde se promociona la llegada de turistas a esta localidad. Se trata pues de un ejemplo de destino turístico supeditado a una gran metrópoli en términos de accesibilidad, servicios y conectividad.
Las presas de jales en el noroeste del estado de Sonora: una aproximación geográfica mediante percepción remota
Authors: Dávila Luna Jaime , Díaz Caravantes Rolando Enrique , Navarro Navarro Luis Alan , Romeo Méndez Estrella
Published: October 2018

La minería es una de las actividades impulsoras de la economía que más contamina el medio ambiente. Los desastres por derrames en presas de jales mineros en todo el mundo así lo indican. En estas circunstancias, un reto es desarrollar esta actividad garantizando la sustentabilidad del entorno, y para ello es necesario contar con un diagnóstico real del estado de conservación y funcionamiento de estas instalaciones. Esta tarea es difícil de lograr debido a la poca supervisión de las dependencias oficiales responsables, a la falta de un catastro público confiable de estas instalaciones y a la dificultad para obtener datos del lugar por las restricciones de las compañías mineras. Con el fin de contribuir a la elaboración de un diagnóstico, en este trabajo exploratorio se propone la metodología del Índice J empleando la percepción remota para la localización preliminar de instalaciones mineras de cobre. Su aplicación en el noreste del estado de Sonora, una importante área minera donde se encuentra la mina de cobre más grande de México, permitió identificar el 100% de las minas de cobre señaladas por el Servicio Geológico Mexicano. La aplicación del Índice J en otras zonas permitiría localizar presas de jales y excavaciones mineras de cobre de una manera confiable, relativamente rápida y a bajo costo, así como la identificación de lugares adicionales con características espectrales similares, información útil para que las autoridades responsables verifiquen en campo lo que ocurre en dichos lugares.

Authors: Smolej Lukáš , Andrýs Ctirad , Maisnar Vladimír , Pour Luděk , Malý Jaroslav
Published: October 2018

Angiogenesis plays a major role in the development and progression of haematological malignancies. In our study we measured plasma concentrations of key angiogenic activators vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) using comercially available sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 37 patients with lymphoid malignancies and 20 healthy donors. We found a statistically significant increase in bFGF concentrations in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL, n=18) compared to the control group (median 118.8 vs. 9.3 pg/ml, p<0.001). However, we didn’t find any significant difference in VEGF concentrations between B-CLL patients and the control group. There was also no significant increase in bFGF or VEGF in patients with multiple myeloma (n=7) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (n=12). Our pilot study shows that measurement of angiogenic activators in plasma is a feasible and reproducible method of angiogenesis assessment. Larger studies are needed for correlation between serum and plasma concentrations and detailed statistical evaluation including the impact on patients’ survival.

„Podróż ku sobie w podróże od siebie”. O poezji i sztuce Ewy Kuryluk
Authors: Stankowska Agata
Published: October 2018

The paper is devoted to Ewa Kuryluk’s poetry and art. The author describes intermingling dimensions of the poet’s artistic identity – existential, hermeneutical and aesthetical – presenting three major tensions present in her work. The first one is between the apocalypse and utopia. The second one may be described by the phrase from one of her poems, establishing the first rule of hermeneutics, according to which she tries to understand herself and the world. The poet defines existence and understanding as a “journey towards oneself and from oneself”. The idea of the third tension may be defined as a spread between the shade/contour and the reflection/picture. The author focuses on presenting the parallels between Kuryluk’s artistic work and her early poems.
„I razem sobie zmyślamy różne bajeczki i bzdurki”. Lingwizm w poezji Danuty Wawiłow
Authors: Kwiatkowska Agnieszka
Published: October 2018

Danuta Wawiłow’s poems for children were created in the second half of the 20th century. The poems classify as the language poetry, employing in the compositions the mechanisms and figures of speech characteristic of this aesthetic current. The poet uses stylization, she reconstructs the creative attitude to language typical of kindergarteners, which is based on experimentation and abounding in similar-sounding words. Wawiłow implements the particularly strongly individualized variation of linguism. She tests the language potential with regards to the needs of an individual – a child who attempts to express their feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Wawiłow’s poetry is not only focused on the language, but also explores the subjectivism of the lyrical subject and new ways of its expression.
„Ta gorsza” – czyli o kilku wierszach Elżbiety Szemplińskiej
Authors: Wróbel Elżbieta
Published: October 2018

In the article, the author brings back the forgotten poet of the interwar period Elizabeth Szemplińska. The starting point of the discussion is the political and social situation that occurred in Poland in the thirties. The economic crisis, from which the whole of Europe was struggling from, favored radicalization among the Polish intelligence. Szemplińska openly admitted to her communist sympathies. The article remembers young poets from the Quadriga group, one of whom was also Nina Rydzewska. The group suggested the slogan „poetry socialized” showing the misery and suffering of the lowest social class. The author focused on the analysis of several lines from Szemplińska’s poems, in which the poet shows a woman of the proletariat crippled by hard work.
„To nie jest poezja w całym słowa tego znaczeniu”. Pieśni żałobne getta Izabeli Gelbard
Authors: Karolak Sylwia
Published: October 2018

The main purpose of this article is to analyse the reception of Izabela Glebard’s (Czajka-Stachowicz’s) works, with particular emphasis on her only book of poety Pieśni żałobne getta . At first Gelbard intentionally chooses poetry, but after the experience of World War II, she leaves it completely and repleces by prose. The root cause of this state of affairs is the war trauma. Very important is also the critical attitude of the writer to her poems. These works have not been appreciated by literary critics who treat them as a document and testimony rather than a valuable poetry. It seems that the Gelbard poems, like all her works, are waiting for a new, contextual reading.
Konwencjonalne i emocjonalne w poezji Małgorzaty Hillar
Authors: Przymuszała Beata
Published: October 2018

Text, showing the most important ways in the 20th century to think about poetry, refers to modernist epiphany (Ryszard Nycz). On the example of Małgorzata Hillar’s poetry, the author shows the inadequacy of this concept. It focused on the linguistic aspect of transmitting emotions, bypassing their bodily sensations. The recent studies on the relationship between emotions and language also allow to present a relationship with language and poetry. Recent studies on the relationship between emotions and language also allow us to otherwise present the relationship between language and poetry.

Un método didáctico de empoderamiento a partir de la serie de tv: «Black Mirror»
Authors: Cerdán Martínez Victor
Published: October 2018

Este artículo analiza la serie de ciencia ficción «Black Mirror», desde la morfología lingüística y la morfología del relato, con el objetivo de proponer un método didáctico que sirva a profesores para impulsar una actitud reflexiva de los alumnos universitarios. «Black Mirror» es una serie, actualmente distribuida por «Netflix UK», que ha cosechado un éxito de crítica y espectadores. Cada episodio presenta un futuro próximo donde la sociedad vive sumergida en un mundo construido por imágenes artificiales. Esta investigación emplea una metodología cualitativa para confeccionar el método didáctico desde las teorías sobre la morfología del relato de J. Campbell, V. Propp y C. Vogler. Al igual que el héroe de ficción, el alumno es conducido por las mismas fases que enuncia Campbell en el «Héroe de las mil caras»: partida, iniciación y regreso. El alumno visiona un capítulo de la serie (partida), realiza una práctica (iniciación), y la publica en las redes sociales (regreso). El autor aplica el método didáctico propuesto a una muestra de quince alumnos de la Facultad de Cine de la Universidad Camilo José Cela de Madrid. La intención es examinar la validez del método en el aula universitaria y comprobar sus resultados. El resultado es un método didáctico que fomenta la actitud reflexiva y el empoderamiento de los alumnos con respecto a la emergente cibersociedad.

Influence of hormonal functional status on survival in adrenocortical carcinoma: systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Vanbrabant T , Fassnacht M , Assie G , Dekkers O M
Published: October 2018

Objective

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a malignancy with a poor prognosis. Many publications in ACC report on risk factors for a poor outcome; one risk factor studied is hormonal hypersecretion (cortisol, sex-hormones, steroid precursors or aldosterone). The aim of this systematic review was to study the association between hormonal secretion and recurrence or mortality in ACC.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched PubMed, EMBASE and The Cochrane library (January 2018) for cohort studies examining the association between hormonal secretion on overall or recurrence-free survival in ACC.

Methods

A random-effects model meta-analysis was performed to obtain a weighted relative risk comparing cortisol-secreting and/or androgen-secreting ACCs to non-secreting tumours regarding overall and recurrence-free survival. Risk of bias assessment was performed for all studies included.

Results

Nineteen publications were included representing a total of 3814 patients. Most studies were generally considered low/intermediate risk of bias. Meta-analysis showed higher mortality risk for cortisol-secreting ACCs, weighted relative risk 1.71 (95% CI: 1.18–2.47) combining studies that adjusted for tumour stage; also a higher recurrence risk was found for cortisol producing ACCs, relative risk 1.43 (95% CI: 1.18–1.73). Androgen secretion was not clearly associated with survival (RR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.60–1.12).

Conclusion

This systematic review and meta-analysis show that cortisol-secreting ACCs are associated with a worse overall survival; future research is needed to establish whether this association points to negative effects of cortisol action, whether it signifies a more aggressive ACC subtype or whether cortisol is merely a prognostic marker.
MANAGEMENT OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE: Impulse control disorders in patients with hyperpolactinemia treated with dopamine agonists: how much should we worry?
Authors: Barake Maya , Klibanski Anne , Tritos Nicholas A
Published: October 2018

Dopamine agonists (DAs) represent a cornerstone in the management of patients with hyperprolactinemia and have an important role in the treatment of neurologic disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and restless legs syndrome. A growing body of evidence has identified impulse control disorders (ICDs) as possible adverse effects of DA therapy. A variety of ICDs may occur in patients treated with DA, including compulsive shopping, pathologic gambling, stealing, hypersexuality and punding (repetitive performance of tasks, such as collecting, sorting, disassembling and assembling objects). These behaviors can have devastating effects on patients’ life and family. In the present review article, we summarize available data on ICDs in patients with hyperprolactinemia as well as other disorders. Possible risk factors for the emergence of ICDs in patients treated with DA are discussed and the putative pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the development of ICDs in this setting are reviewed. In addition, strategies for the early identification and management of ICDs in patients on DA are discussed. In conclusion, a wide variety of ICDs can occur in patients treated with DA, including those with hyperprolactinemia. The development of ICDs can have serious implications for patients’ well-being and family. Endocrinologists and other physicians involved in the care of patients on DA therapy must be aware of this potential adverse effect, counsel patients regarding pertinent symptoms and regularly evaluate treated patients for the development of ICDs. Early detection of ICDs and discontinuation of DA therapy can mitigate the potential harms associated with ICDs in these patients.

Eliminación de la justicia penal militar en la Policía Nacional de Colombia en el posconflicto
Authors: Moreno González Fernando Antonio
Published: October 2018

El objetivo principal de este escrito tiene como fin cuestionar la pertenencia de la Policía Nacional de Colombia a la justicia castrense en el posconflicto con una adecuación o correspondencia de algunos soportes y fundamentos de las categorías analíticas y elementos teóricos de la sociología jurídica. Actualmente sus miembros uniformados que se hallan en servicio activo, pueden ser investigados y juzgados por la justicia penal militar cuando cometen delitos en relación con la función policial. Una vez cese el conflicto armado, se propone la creación de una justicia especial que haga parte de la justicia penal ordinaria; inclusive, podría ser operada por miembros en retiro de la Policía Nacional. Pero nada impide que los operadores judiciales para estos funcionarios uniformados de la institución policial sean los jueces comunes a los demás colombianos, siempre y cuando se tengan en cuenta todas las circunstancias sociales, jurídicas, fácticas y demás aspectos psicosociales que puedan intervenir cuando se investigan, acusan o juzgan estos servidores públicos especiales.
Grafología forense: llave de ingreso al inconsciente criminal
Authors: Borbón Hoyos Mercy Lilliana , Flórez Guzmán Mario Heimer , Plazas Estepa Rodrigo Alberto
Published: October 2018

El presente artículo de investigación da cuenta de la importancia que tiene la grafología en los procesos de selección de personal a partir del estudio del perfil criminal. Desde el constructo teórico, se abordan las teorías de la grafología descriptiva y emocional de Max Pulver, Mauricio Xandró y Augusto Vels, los cuales afirman que la grafología es una técnica que permite identificar estados emocionales, tipos de personalidad e inclinaciones de personalidad y esta es utilizada para determinar si los perfiles de las personas se ajustan a las necesidades de la organización, propendiendo de esta forma por la optimización de los recursos. Metodológicamente, es un estudio descriptivo explicativo, de corte documental, puesto que se abordan los principales estudios que en términos de grafología existen en la academia, basados principalmente en la acepción de las fichas documentales como instrumento para la recopilación y análisis de la información. Como conclusión, se obtuvo que la grafología forense permite identificar la concordancia que existe entre el perfil, el comportamiento del entrevistado, las necesidades de la organización y los rasgos de personalidad mostrados por los grafos inscritos por el entrevistado. Además de eso, permite diseñar un perfil supuesto del entrevistado en donde se puede rastrear la inclinación del aparato psíquico a la comisión de un delito económico.

Published: October 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: Current challenges in the food and nutrition fields have required training nutritionists to develop teamwork skills, demanding the use of active methodologies. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study aimed at knowing Nutrition students' perceptions about the use of Team Based Learning (TBL) in a course. Focus groups were conducted and submitted to content analysis. Results: Categories were grouped into three axes: (1) principles of the method (teamwork, individual preparation and teacher's role), (2) results of the experience (knowledge acquisition, critical judgment and communication/argumentation) and (3) meanings of the experience (engagement/motivation and preference for the method). Teamwork was the most frequent category (51 occurrences), followed by knowledge acquisition (44) and engagement/motivation (35). Axis 1 categories came out linked to each other and to at least one Axis 2 category, revealing the course's coherence with TBL principles, thus allowing better knowledge acquisition, communication skills, and development of critical judgment. Axis 3 was connected to the others, pointing out that both principles of the method and results of the experience contributed to students' engagement and preference for the method. Conclusion: According tostudents' perceptions, TBL can contribute to provide nutritionists with better technical training, critical judgment, and communication skills.
Optimal roofing solutions for Australian green buildings: a life-cycle cost perspective
Authors: Illankoon I M Chethana S , Tam Vivian W Y , Le Khoa N , Wang Xiangyu , Wang Jiayuan
Published: October 2018

Thermal insulation is a significant factor in building construction. As a result, Green Star in Australia requires building envelopes to be insulated properly. Further, green buildings require at least 15% above the required R-values (which are measured in m2 K/W) for achieving Green Star credit points. Thermal insulation of the roof depends on various factors such as insulation material, sarking material, air films and roof covering. Therefore, there are many options with different combinations available to obtain the required total R-values. This research aims to identify optimum solutions for roofing solutions considering the life-cycle cost. There are ten commonly used roof types in Australia. Therefore, this research calculated the life-cycle costs using the net present value technique for more than 2000 options of roofing solutions and selected optimum solutions for each climate zone in Australia. The outcome shows that the initial cost and the replacement cost significantly influence the life-cycle cost. Further, the maintenance, replacement and disposal costs vary from 47 to 69% of the life-cycle cost. Sensitivity analysis concludes that the discounting rate has a significant influence on the life-cycle cost of the roofing solution. However, the changes in labour rate have only a slight impact on the life-cycle cost of roofing solutions.
Shaping the offshore decommissioning agenda and next-generation design of offshore infrastructure
Authors: Gourvenec Susan
Published: October 2018

Many thousands of structures have been installed in the world’s oceans to service the offshore hydrocarbon and renewable energy industries to provide energy resources to populations across the globe. Much of this infrastructure, particularly for hydrocarbon developments, has reached or is approaching the end of field life and requires decommissioning. Recent and future field developments, for both hydrocarbons and renewable energy, are setting up future waves of decommissioning activity. This paper presents recent developments in, and outlines the reshaping of, the offshore decommissioning agenda. The need for a multicriteria, multisector, transdisciplinary approach to informing offshore decommissioning and the design of the next generation of offshore infrastructure is demonstrated. Exemplar activities in this direction are described. The opportunity for society and governments to transform the agenda for decommissioning offshore infrastructure is put forward. Reduction in cost and risk and improved environmental outcomes of future generations of offshore infrastructure may exist for future generations in (global) society by resetting how decommissioning offshore infrastructure is carried out.

Background

Goodpasture syndrome (GP) is a pulmonary-renal syndrome characterized by autoantibodies directed against the NC1 domains of collagen IV in the glomerular and alveolar basement membranes. Exposure of the cryptic epitope is thought to occur via disruption of sulfilimine crosslinks in the NC1 domain that are formed by peroxidasin-dependent production of hypobromous acid. Peroxidasin, a heme peroxidase, has significant structural overlap with myeloperoxidase (MPO), and MPO-ANCA is present both before and at GP diagnosis in some patients. We determined whether autoantibodies directed against peroxidasin are also detected in GP.

Methods

We used ELISA and competitive binding assays to assess the presence and specificity of autoantibodies in serum from patients with GP and healthy controls. Peroxidasin activity was fluorometrically measured in the presence of partially purified IgG from patients or controls. Clinical disease severity was gauged by Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score.

Results

We detected anti-peroxidasin autoantibodies in the serum of patients with GP before and at clinical presentation. Enriched anti-peroxidasin antibodies inhibited peroxidasin-mediated hypobromous acid production in vitro. The anti-peroxidasin antibodies recognized peroxidasin but not soluble MPO. However, these antibodies did crossreact with MPO coated on the polystyrene plates used for ELISAs. Finally, peroxidasin-specific antibodies were also found in serum from patients with anti-MPO vasculitis and were associated with significantly more active clinical disease.

Conclusions

Anti-peroxidasin antibodies, which would previously have been mischaracterized, are associated with pulmonary-renal syndromes, both before and during active disease, and may be involved in disease activity and pathogenesis in some patients.
DEMOKRASİ, KRİZ VE SİYASAL KÜLTÜR
Authors: Çalışkan Köksal
Published: October 2018

Son yıllarda siyaset biliminin ana gündem maddelerinden bir tanesini demokrasinin
bir kriz içerisinde olup olmadığı sorusu oluşturmaktadır. Bu soruya yönelik
cevap arayışlarının ise genellikle kurumlara ya da ekonomik koşullara odaklanmaktan
öteye gidemedikleri görülmektedir. Oysa bu makale, demokrasinin içerisinde
bulunduğu krizin arkasında siyasal tutumlarda yaşanan değişimler ile küresel
düzeyde bir siyasal yabancılaşmanın ortaya çıkmasının yattığını iddia etmektedir.
Bunlar siyasal kültür ile siyasal yapı arasında uyumsuzluğun ortaya çıkmasının
ve bundan dolayı da demokrasilerin yüz yüze kaldıkları istikrarsızlığın ana
sebebidirler. Diğer taraftan demokrasinin bir kriz içerisinde olduğunu ele alan
çalışmalar genellikle Batı dışındaki ülkelere odaklanmışken, bu makale
demokrasinin tüm dünyada bir kriz içerisinde olduğunu ve Batılı demokrasilerin
de yıkılma tehdidi altında olduklarını iddia etmektedir.
BORSA EKONOMİNİN BAROMETRESİ MİDİR? TÜRKİYE’DE EKONOMİK AKTİVİTE İLE HİSSE SENEDİ FİYATLARI ARASINDAKİ NEDENSELLİK İLİŞKİSİ
Authors: KARACA Orhan
Published: October 2018

Ekonomi ile borsa arasındaki ilişki
uzun zamandır önemli bir ekonomik araştırma konusu olmuştur. Hisse senedi
fiyatları ile ekonomik aktivitedeki dalgalanmalar arasında gözlenen ilişki,
borsanın ekonominin barometresi olduğu şeklinde yaygın bir görüşün ortaya
çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Bu çalışmada bu görüş test edilmiştir. Çalışmada Türkiye’deki
ekonomik aktivite ile hisse senedi fiyatları arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi, üç
aylık veriler kullanılarak, 2000-2016 dönemi için araştırılmıştır. Ampirik
analizde Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik testi kullanılmıştır. Nedensellik testlerinin
sonuçları, Türkiye’de hisse senedi fiyatlarından ekonomik aktiviteye doğru tek
yönlü nedensellik olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu, borsanın ekonominin barometresi
olduğu görüşünü destekleyen bir sonuçtur.

Considerations to some forms of the verb a fi: sum and sunt
Authors: Chivu Gheorghe
Published: October 2018

The history of the verbal forms sum and sunt, introduced into the literary writing by the Transylvanian Latinist School, reveals a winding process in the elaboration of certain cultured norms proper to the modern literary Romanian. Not at all linear, this process was concurrently influenced by two, often divergent, tendencies that were active from the end of the 18th century up to the beginning of the 20th century: the use of some cultured forms, borrowed from Latin or created according to Latin patterns; and the revitalization of certain linguistic forms with regional diffusion.

Initially proposed as literary pronunciations, the two verbal forms were soon adopted and used as etymological graphic forms that corresponded to sîm and suntu from certain conservative patois. During the second half of the 19th century (sum), and during the first decades of the 20th century (sunt), the two graphic forms became orthoepic norms as well, due to the phonological tradition of the Romanian writing.
Cererea cananeencei sau despre rugăciune ca formă de politețe lingvistică
Authors: Felecan Daiana
Published: October 2018

Lucrarea își propune să stabilească limitele semantice dintre termenii rugăciune și rugăminte, implicit sensurile pragmatice comportate de cele două lexeme la diferite niveluri ale limbii. În ceea ce privește rugăciunea, destinatorul transmite un mesaj unui destinatar non-saturabil referențial în contextul pragmatic al lumii fenomenale, ci „reperabil” exclusiv în lumea necesității. Vom exemplifica o mostră de dialog dintre reprezentanții (femeia cananeeancă și Iisus Cristos) a două spații delimitate spiritual. Femeia cere milostivirea proprie întru deposedarea fiicei de duhuri necurate. Prin dibăcia cu care știe să negocieze sensurile respectînd pozițiile de rol situațional, ea se dovedește o bună practicantă a principiului cooperativ, în general, a politeții pragmatice, în special. Locutoarea face apel la mișcările de susținere a celor mai adecvate strategii discursive, care o vor conduce la obținerea unui nivel optim de comunicare, mai exact la dobîndirea obiectului rugăciunii sale: însănătoșirea fiicei.
Variables in the acceptability of transitive variants for internally caused verbs of change of state in Romanian
Authors: Poponeț Maria
Published: October 2018

This paper explores the acceptability of transitive variants for a number of seemingly internally caused verbs of change of state in Romanian, i.e. the verbs express change of state events and lack transitives. To this effect, we designed a linguistic questionnaire which tested the acceptability of transitive counterparts of these verbs, in which we varied the denotation of the subject argument, i.e. natural force vs. agent. The overall results obtained from the 33 participants in the survey revealed the influence of semantic factors on transitive acceptability. The respondents marginally accepted the transitives with natural force subjects, while they rejected the transitives with agent subjects. On the other hand, transitive acceptability varies with the age of the participants, the low scores assigned to the transitives put to the test, irrespective of the denotation of the subject argument, by the youngest group points towards the maintenance of the current valence of these verbs.
