Hayat Rehberi Kur'ân
Authors: YETİK Şahin
Published: January 2021

Her iman bir iddiadır ve her iddia ispat gerektirir. İman iddiasında bulunan insanlar bu iddialarının gereği olarak inançlarının ilkelerine uymak sureti ile imanlarını ispat ederler. Müslümanlar için de temel iman esaslarından biri de Allah’ın gönderdiği Kitaplara iman etmektir. Son gönderilen kitap olan Kur’an’a iman edilmeden Müslüman olunamaz. Peki, Kur’an’ı tanımadan, okumadan ve gerektirdiklerini hayata taşımadan bu iman iddiası ne kadar tutarlı olacaktır? Tanıtımını yapacağımız “Hayat Rehberi Kur’an” adlı eserin Kur’an’ı tanıma noktasında çok faydalı olacağına inanıyor ve Kur’an’ın toplum hayatına nasıl rehberlik etmesi gerektiğini vurgulaması açısından çokça istifade edilmesi gerektiğini tavsiye ediyoruz.

Natural saltlicks are used by mammal species mainly to supplement mineral deficiency playing critical role in animal ecology. There is information gap on the use of natural saltlicks by mammals in Bhutan. Nine natural saltlicks from Jomotsangkha Wildlife Sanctuary were purposively selected to fill this gap of information. The study aimed to assess mineral composition and ecological behaviour of mammals at natural saltlicks. Nine composite soil samples were randomly collected and nine camera traps were set up at nine saltlicks for a duration of 56 days from 2 January to 28 February, 2019. Data management and analysis were carried out using camerabase and R software. Potassium, phosphorus and sodium elements were found in the saltlicks. Camera traps yielded 419 independent events of 12 species under 10 families. Herbivores were most common (n = 390) and non-herbivores the least (n = 12). Wild dog was also captured licking salts (n = 1) which is least reported across the world. Mineral composition (r = 0.70, p < .05) and anthropogenic activities (r = 0.60, p < .05) were key factors affecting the visitation rate and ecological behaviour of mammal species. Disturbed saltlicks from Samdrupcholing Range revealed fewer individuals of mammals (n = 71) with disturbed ecological behaviour while undisturbed saltlicks from Jomotsangkha Range revealed higher individuals of mammals (n = 340) with undisturbed ecological behaviour. Therefore, anthropogenic activities at disturbed saltlicks call for planned monitoring.

Published: December 2020

This study developed tree species specific local volume equations and tables for Lingmethang and Rongmanchu Forest Management Units. The field work was conducted between December, 2019 and January 2020. Data was collected for five species (Schima sp., Ltihocarpus sp., Acrocarpus fraxinifolius, Pinus roxburghii and Castanopsis tribuloides) for Lingmethang FMU and six species (Beilschmedia sp., Persea sp., Quercus sp., Alnus nepalensis, Schima wallichii and Cinnamomum sp.) of trees for Rongmanchu FMU. The height and diameter over bark were measured for every sample trees. Using the height and diameter, volumes for each sample tree was calculated and then the models generated were fitted with a minimum of 32 trees per species, which were destructively felled for the purpose. The models were run in R version 3.4.4. A total of 16 models were fitted and tested for each species. The selected models performed well with small deviation for individual trees.

Physiological and microclimatic consequences of variation in agricultural management of maize
Authors: Pérez-Hernández Rosa Guadalupe , Cach-Pérez Manuel Jesus , Aparacio-Fabre Rosaura , Van der Wal Hans , Rodríguez-Robles Ulises
Published: January 2021

Background: Maize is cultivated under different agricultural management systems, which influence the ecological dynamics of the crop, and therefore the physiology of the plant.
Questions: What is the effect of different agricultural management on the microclimate and the physiology of maize plants?
Studied species: Zea mays L.
Study site and dates: Nacajuca, Tabasco, Mexico; January to April 2017.
Methods: Physiological performance of maize plants and microclimatic variation in the crop area was characterized under three management systems: maize monoculture, maize-bean, and maize-bean-squash intercropping. Each treatment was established in three 100 m2 plots (300 m2 per treatment). Four measurements were taken between days 33 and 99 after maize sowing, to characterize five microclimatic parameters (relative air humidity, air and soil temperature, vapor-pressure deficit and soil volumetric water content) and nine physiological parameters (photosynthesis, transpiration, water use efficiency, stomatal conductance, electron transport rate, quantum efficiency of photosystem II, non-photochemical quenching, foliar water potential and chlorophyll content).
Results: Maximum soil temperature was up to 4.4 ºC less in the maize-bean system than in the monoculture at 15:00 h; soil in the maize-bean-squash intercropping retained up to 45 % more water than the monoculture throughout the day. Photosynthesis and electron transport rate in the maize-bean intercropping was up to 32 % higher than in the monoculture. The highest non-photochemical quenching and transpiration rate were observed in the maize-bean-squash system.
Conclusions: The maize-bean and maize-bean-squash combination provides maize plants with lower soil temperature and higher water availability, allowing them better physiological performance compared to monoculture.
Autonomous pollination alleviates pollen limitation in the endemic Cienfuegosia yucatanensis Millsp. (Malvaceae)
Authors: Parra-Tabla Víctor , Alonso
Published: January 2021

Background: Self-compatibility is common on endemic plant species, but pollen limitation and self-pollination could be risk factors.
Study species: The endemic Cienfuegosia yucatanensis (Malvaceae), whose distribution is mainly restricted to the north coast of the peninsula of Yucatán, México.
Questions: a) Are flowers of C. yucatanensis autonomous for pollination? b) Are C. yucatanensis fruit or seed-set limited by pollen deposition? and, c) Is there evidence of early inbreeding depression in C. yucatanensis ?
Study sites and dates: Two sites in the north of the peninsula of Yucatán in a seasonally dry scrubland, in the rainy season of 2013 and 2014.
Methods: Number of flowers and fruits were weekly recorded. Flowers were collected to count the number of conspecific pollen load and the number of pollen tubes. Autonomous pollination and pollen limitation were evaluated with a hand-pollination experiment. Inbreeding depression on fruit and seed production, and seed weight was evaluated.
Results: Flower and fruit production occur simultaneously and last from August to October. Conspecific pollen deposition on stigmas occurred through the whole flowering season and a maximum of pollen tubes was observed in August. Autonomous pollination treatment lead to similar fruit and seed production than cross-pollination, but open pollination produced significantly more seeds. No significant differences among self- and cross-pollination treatments on fruit and seed production or seed weight, were found.
 Conclusions: Our results suggest that self-compatibility combined with a relatively efficient autonomous pollination, are suitable mechanisms for the reproductive assurance in C. yucatanensis , with no apparent effects of early inbreeding depression.
Description and distribution of Nemacystus howei (W.R. Taylor) Kylin (Chordariaceae) from the northern coast of the Yucatán peninsula
Authors: Ortegón-Aznar Ileana , Suárez Ana M. , Galindo-de Santiago María del Carmen , Wynne Michael J.
Published: January 2021

Background: There are few studies about Nemacystus on the Atlantic coast, and N. howei has been reported only once for Mexico; that record, however, did not provide a description of this species.

Question: What are the morphological characteristics of Nemacystus howei and its distribution on the Yucatan coast?

Species study: Macroalgae, Phaeophyceae, Nemacystus howei.

Study site and year of study: North coast of Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. Dry and rainy seasons from 2017 to 2019.

Methods: Sampling was carried out at five localities, at 5 and 10 m depths, with scuba equipment. Specimens were preserved in diluted formalin in sea water; silica gel and dried-pressed vouchers are housed at the UADY

Results: Six samples were collected at the five localities. Each one contains a small mass of filamentous of specimens of Nemacystus howei , that were found only during dry season, at both depths sampled. This alga has a thallus of an entangled filamentous mass of cylindrical, mucilaginous axes, of a light brown color. Younger branches have a solid central axis. Branching is abundant. The main, older axes are hollow. The assimilatory filaments are branched a few times, producing uniseriate colorless hairs and with plurilocular sporangia arising from the base. Nemacystus howei is easily confused with Cladosiphon occidentalis Kylin due to their similar morphology, branching pattern, and size.

Conclusion: The significant morphological similarities between these species as well as the paucity of specific works on the Phaeophyceae of the Yucatan Peninsula may explain why Nemacystus howei had not been previously reported.

Análisis de la eficiencia de un disco de freno convencional ventilado con respecto a un disco hiperventilado mediante mecanizado
Authors: Rojas Vicente , Pancha Johnny , Romero Vicente , Lema Jorge
Published: January 2021

El objetivo de este estudio tiene como finalidad rediseñar un disco de freno ventilado a un disco hiperventilado para comparar las diferencias de temperatura y distancias de frenado, para ello se instaló un sistema de monitoreo en el vehículo, que consistió en la implementación de dos sensores de temperatura ubicados cerca de cada disco y una tarjeta de adquisición de datos. Con la implementación de los discos hiperventilados se pudo disminuir la temperatura generada por la fricción del frenado. Se realizó el monitoreo de valores de temperaturas que se producen entre los discos al momento de frenar. Para obtener los valores de temperaturas de los discos de frenos, se realizaron pruebas de ruta con diferentes tipos de discos: discos ventilados en las dos ruedas frontales, discos hiperventilados en las dos ruedas frontales y discos mixtos. En los discos mixtos van un disco ventilado en rueda delantera derecha y uno hiperventilado en rueda delantera izquierda. Mediante visualización de datos en tiempo en los discos de freno se pudo concluir que los hiperventilados poseen una mejor disipación de calor ya que presentan una mejor ventilación. A partir de todos los resultados de las pruebas de rutas obtenidas, se pudo visualizar el comportamiento de temperatura en los discos al momento de frenar y se evidenció que los discos hiperventilados tienden a calentarse menos que los normales, llevando con esto a disminuir el tiempo y distancia de frenado.

Published: January 2021

Estudios numéricos del campo de flujo para toberas convergentes-divergentes con longitud de garganta han reportado fluctuaciones del flujo con ondas de choque oblicuo en la sección de la garganta, para la condición de flujo sobreexpandido. Sin embargo, para otras condiciones del flujo, para un mismo tipo de tobera, el conocimiento es limitado. En el presente trabajo, el objetivo es determinar el comportamiento del flujo en la longitud de garganta y en la divergente, para una tobera cónica experimental clasificada como Helios-X, para la condición de flujo subexpandido. Se realizaron simulaciones numéricas 2D del campo de flujo con el código ANSYS-Fluent versión 12.1, aplicando el modelo RANS. Se emplearon las ecuaciones gobernantes para el flujo compresible, conservación de la masa, cantidad de movimiento, energía y de estado; así como, para la turbulencia el modelo SST  de Menter y para la viscosidad en función de la temperatura la ecuación de Sutherland. En la sección de la garganta, adyacente a la pared, el flujo presentó fluctuaciones, en la simetría axial el flujo presentó una aceleración escalonada; en la sección divergente, el flujo se desaceleró en cierta región, sin embargo, el flujo salió de la tobera a velocidad supersónica ligeramente mayor de Mach 3. Se concluye que en la sección de la longitud de garganta se presenta un patrón de flujo, así como, en la sección divergente.

Authors: Ordonez-Camacho Diego
Published: January 2021

El Internet de las cosas es una de las tendencias más prometedoras en la actualidad. La rapidez de su adopción, sin embargo, ha provocado ciertas brechas críticas en la seguridad de los sistemas involucrados. Este proyecto analizó el problema de seguridad de una manera amplia, pero enfocándose en entornos de tipo hogar inteligente, donde el uso de dispositivos con tecnologías ampliamente heterogéneas genera problemas en la autenticación con múltiples servicios, y en la confidencialidad de los datos, si la red llegara a verse comprometida. Para atacar estos problemas, se juntaron tecnologías de última generación como OAuth2 y TLS, entre otras, junto a una metodología arquitectural de microservicios de acoplamiento ligero, para generar una arquitectura IoT segura y de amplio alcance, respaldada y validada por una implementación de referencia. La división en capas funcionales permite que tanto los dispositivos y sensores fijos como aquellos móviles, puedan acoplarse al sistema de manera transparente y fluida. El esquema de seguridad estructurado en tres niveles incrementales permite que cada equipo pueda integrarse al que mejor se adapte tanto a sus recursos computacionales como al tipo de información que debe entregar o consumir. Los resultados muestran la flexibilidad de la solución y la solidez del esquema de seguridad presentado.

Published: January 2021

This study aimed to establish a nomogram for the prognostic prediction of patients with early-onset cervical cancer (EOCC) in both overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). The 10,079 patients diagnosed with EOCC between 2004 and 2015 were captured within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and further were divided into training and validation sets randomly. The independent prognostic factors were identified in a retrospective study of 7,055 patients training sets randomly. Besides, the prognostic nomogram was developed using R software according to multivariable Cox regression analysis. Furthermore, the model was externally validated using the data of 3,024 patients diagnosed at different times enrolled in the SEER database. In training set, the C-indexes for OS and CSS prediction were 0.831 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.815-0.847) and 0.855(95%CI:0.839-0.871). The results of ROC indicated that nomograms possessed better predict performance compared with TNM-stage and SEER-stage. And the areas under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram for OS and CSS prediction in ROC analysis were 0.855(95%CI:0.847-0.864) and 0.782(95%CI:0.760-0.804), respectively. In addition, calibration curves presented perfect agreements between the nomogram-predicted and actual 1-, 3-, and 5-year in the validation cohort, in OS rate and CSS rate. This study established and validated a prognostic nomogram that provided an accurate prediction of 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS and CSS of EOCC patients, which contributed to clinicians to be useful for patients’ counseling and clinical trial designing.
Expression and Purification of Thermostable Proteins Expressed in E. coli v1
Authors: Van Dyke Michael
Published: January 2021

Our laboratory studies putative transcription regulatory proteins from the extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus HB8. To do so, these proteins are often expressed in the mesothermic organism Escherichia coli and purified from whole-cell extracts. Here we describe our standard expression and purification scheme and its analysis using the thermostable protein His6-GFP-TEV. His6-GFP-TEV is usually used as an N-terminus tag for the bacterial expression of recombinant proteins. However, this surrogate provides a facile visual indicator of thermostable protein expression and purification and is especially amenable for laboratory instruction in a primarily undergraduate educational environment.
Hair cortisol analysis protocol v1
Authors: Parker Katy , Bristow Matt
Published: December 2020

There has been considerable interest in the measurement of cortisol in hair as a biomarker of stress since work by Davenport et al. (2006). The methodology developed by our laboratory is intended to allow for a scalable method for hair analysis that can be undertaken for large numbers of hair samples and has the minimum number of steps to reduce the chance of error and reduce costs. Our method reduces the number of steps where the sample is transferred to another container as it is kept in the same tube from initial weighing through to end of the methanol incubation. The procedure is also very scalable. The ‘rate limiting’ step for our hair analysis procedure is the grinding of the hair and this has been partially automated using the MP Biological Fast Prep grinder which is highly scalable. Final quantification of cortisol is performed via an ELISA assay, an assay which is rapid and cost effective. References: Davenport, M. D., Tiefenbacher, S., Lutz, C. K., Novak, M. a., & Meyer, J. S.

Deviant behavior is detrimental to adolescents, and parental monitoring is necessary to forestall this act. Consequently, this study investigated the influence of parental monitoring on adolescents' deviant behavior as expressed by married adults in the Ilorin metropolis. This study also investigated moderating variables, including gender, age, family type, and religion, on the respondents' view. It employed a descriptive survey method where 200 married adults were selected through simple random and purposive sampling techniques. The participants responded to a questionnaire titled 'Influence of Parental Monitoring on Deviant Behavior Questionnaire' (IPMDBQ).' The instrument's validity was conducted by a team of five experts from Nigeria, and the reliability yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.72. Besides, t-test and ANOVA statistical tools were employed to test the hypotheses at an alpha level of 0.05. The result revealed a positive influence of parental monitoring on adolescents' deviant behavior. It was found that there was no significant difference in the respondents' views based on gender, age, family type, and religion. Therefore, it is recommended that parents should monitor their wards appropriately to forestall deviant behavior among adolescents in Nigerian society.

Its orientation is more focused on advancing national character development based on local wisdom and unique culture in Indonesia. The authority of the Indonesian education system policy program in strengthening character education covers religiousness, nationalism, independency, mutual cooperation, and integrity with the development of local wisdom-based learning materials. The purpose of this research is to discover the process of dance learning implementation in students’ character education development. This research employs quantitative with descriptive statistics data analysis. The data were collected through an observation of 22 primary school students during a dance learning process and in-depth interviews to two dance teachers to obtain data regarding local wisdom-based dance learning implementation to develop students’ characters. The findings show that character education developed in local wisdom-based dance learning can be done through various learning activities such as appreciation and introduction of traditional dance materials, instilling values, independent and group study to build independency and mutual cooperation, and familiarize students to pray before and after learning. These are to plant local wisdom values through dance movement learning.
Promoting Students' Understanding of the Concept of Pressure: Active Learning Environment versus Traditional One
Authors: Tural Güner
Published: January 2021

One of the topics students have understanding difficulties in science is pressure. The study investigates the effectiveness of an active-learning environment on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. The sample consisted of 30 students from a public secondary school in Turkey. This study used a pre-test, post-test, quasi-experimental research design with a control group. Ten lessons were conducted with both groups. The control group was taught using the coursebook's two activities, while the experimental group was taught using additional activities and models. After the treatment, a post-test was given to both groups to determine the active-learning environment's effectiveness on the students' understanding of the concept of pressure. Interviews were also conducted with the experimental group. The post-test results showed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group. It was determined that students in both groups had misunderstandings of the topic before and after instruction. The interviews showed that the experimental group students perceive that the active learning environment facilitated better and easier learning. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the active learning environment was more effective for the students in the experimental group to learn about the concept of pressure.

En este fotoensayo recoge las fotografías que, diariamente y durante el confinamiento por motivo de la crisis derivada del COVID – 19, realicé a un ginkgo biloba que tenía en el despacho de casa y publiqué en Instagram. A lo largo de las mismas se ve cómo crece durante unos tres meses y medio mientras me acompaña en la búsqueda de presencia, la reflexión sobre los cuidados y el renamoramiento por los pequeños cambios.
Aprender a mirar
Authors: Lage de la Rosa Marta
Published: January 2021

Es un fotoensayo de creación colaborativa de una experiencia artístico pedagógica en el período de confinamiento. 

Los objetivos coinciden con los generales de la Educación Infantil y contribuyen a desarrollar importantes capacidades en la formación de profesorado.

El proyecto creativo y artístico permite conectar con la espiritualidad, esencia del ser humano. Es un acercamiento a la belleza de lo imperfecto, lo incompleto, lo cambiante, pone de manifiesto el valor de aquello modesto y humilde tan importante en educación. 

El resultado responde a las preguntas de partida: ¿Se puede enseñar a mirar?, ¿Cómo se aprende a mirar?, ¿En otras culturas se mira de la misma forma?, ¿Cómo se mira en la infancia?, ¿Qué y cómo se aprende? En la experiencia destaca el aprendizaje activo, el valor del error, de la sensibilidad, la belleza, la aceptación de lo imperfecto, el camino como meta en la construcción del aprendizaje y de la vida para la felicidad. Sólo se enseña lo que se es. Sólo se aprende lo que se vive.

El espacio nunca es neutro ya que es habitado por sujetos que van forjando identidades en los lugares que ocupan. Dentro de este contexto la Facultad de Educación de Bilbao (UPV/EHU) ha llevado a cabo en el curso 2019-2020 un proyecto enfocado a la reflexión conjunta de diferentes agentes educativos sobre los espacios. El proyecto tiene como objetivo ahondar en las inquietudes personales de las personas participantes recogiendo sus voces a partir de dos preguntas generadoras: ¿Cuál es la razón por la que estamos en el proyecto?, ¿Qué nos ha llevado a tomar parte en este proyecto? El hecho de recoger las voces ayuda a crear un diálogo horizontal entre la palabra y la imagen, posicionando las mismas en un mismo nivel como vehículo narrador de las historias que transitan desde una visión personal a una visión más colectiva y sitúa a las personas en continua relación con los espacios.
Creación, espacio y educación. Una relectura artística del entorno como fuente de aprendizaje experiencial
Authors: Torres Carceller Andrés
Published: January 2021

Con una concepción del espacio como elemento clave para el aprendizaje, adoptamos una voluntad creativa en el habitar, estableciendo cuatro ejes conceptuales (refugio, tránsito, no lugar, encuentro) sobre los que investigar nuestra relación con el entorno mediante la Educación Artística a partir de cuatro talleres. Redescubrir el espacio con toda la potencialidad artística que comporta nos permite una mirada transversal enriquecedora. Crear espacios polivalentes y flexibles que rompan con la rutina, que potencien la imaginación, que promuevan activamente relaciones, comunicaciones y encuentros, representa un poderoso elemento educativo.
Percepción significante en la ciudad: una mirada desde lo artístico
Authors: López Rodríguez Silvia
Published: January 2021

La práctica artística como proceso creativo supone una plataforma que ofrece las herramientas, la actitud y los métodos de abordaje del espacio desde un nuevo punto de vista. El arte por tanto es propuesto como medio de conocimiento de la realidad y del hombre y concretamente en nuestro caso, como instrumento de conocimiento de la ciudad. La percepción significante, el estado de ciudadano-artista, y la deriva serán las principales aportaciones para promover la vivencia del entorno urbano a través de una experiencia artística.
Aspects of localness: a pilot study of kiosk and grill food names in Finland
Authors: Ainiala Terhi
Published: January 2021

This article examines the localness of commercial names in Finland and focusses specifically on the names of grill food kiosks and products. There are two research objectives: firstly, to determine the number of local names that occur in the material, and secondly, to analyse how these names work as indexes of localness. This article explores the claim by sociolinguist Barbara Johnstone that particular linguistic forms can index meanings along a variety of dimensions and some forms may index locality. Furthermore, these types of linguistic forms can be used in discourses that shape people’s senses of place and the social identities associated with place. Of the 15 names of kiosks, almost all names, a total of 13 names, can be interpreted as manifesting local characteristics. Most of the kiosk names include a local place name. Of the product names, more than half (46 out of 84 names) are to be construed as describing something local. Although most of the local names in the group of product names include a local place name, personal names are also rather common. In addition, local dialect or slang is also visible in the product names. Another type of reference to a region appears in two kiosk names and in some of the product names. These names constitute a special case and demonstrate how local history can be incorporated in names creatively.

Dokonania profesor Aleksandry Cieślikowej w zakresie słowotwórstwa onomastycznego
Authors: Biolik Maria
Published: January 2021

The article presents the achievements of professor Aleksandra Cieślikowa in the field of word-formation of proper names. The most important issues concerning the creation of anthroponyms in the Old Polish era selected from monographs and scientific articles are detailed. These issues include the problems of motivation in onomastic word-formation, the onimization process and the way of describing non-derivatized words by word formation and the participation of paradigmatic derivation in the emergence of Old Polish personal names. The views of Aleksandra Cieślikowa regarding Old Polish anthroponymy contributed to the development of onomastic word-formation, an integral part of the grammar of proper names and gave methodological foundations for the description of Old Polish personal names from a synchronic perspective.

Leksem świnia i formy pokrewne jako wyrazy motywujące w polskiej onimii
Authors: Wójcik Urszula
Published: January 2021

The aim of the article is an attempt to trace the fate of several appellatives grouped in the lexical field around the hyperonym świnia ʽpig, swine’ (wieprz ʽhog’, knur/kiernoz ʽboar’ and prosię ʽpiglet’) as the motivation of many names in Polish onymy, mainly in anthroponymy and toponymy. My research has been conducted along the lines of historical anthropology. Proper names in this approach play an important role in the reconstruction of the past. The field of interest of this article includes mainly names belonging to the old onymic layer. Proper names arise from the lexicon of a given language, which is why my analysis is based on lexical and semantic methodology. My point of departure is the meaning (often reconstructed) of appellative lexical units, including their semantic modifications in the proprial layer. I interpret proper names on the basis of findings regarding their origin and motivation. The first names motivated by the lexeme świnia were associated with the economic organization of the Piast state. In the article I present the history of their creation. I go on to discuss the other lexemes which became the basis of many names belonging to different naming categories. The presence of etymons of interest to us in so many proper names during the Middle Ages allows us to draw the conclusion that pigs played an extremely important role in the lives of our ancestors.
Kapliczki i krzyże przydrożne w nazwach terenowych (na przykładzie mikrotoponimów gminy Wręczyca Wielka w powiecie kłobuckim)
Authors: Jelonek Tomasz
Published: January 2021

The main purpose of this article is an attempt at the description of the role of roadside shrines and crosses in geographical names. The study encompasses more than 1,000 microtoponyms collected in the years 2011–2017 in the area around the village of Wręczyca Wielka near Kłobuck (Silesian voivodeship). The analysis also offers a justification for the onyms, as well as stories and legends elicited during informal conversations with the middle and the oldest generation of inhabitants of the explored area. The author uses the research tools of cultural onomastics. The objects of sacral architecture which appear in geographical names frequently have a number of functions. Mostly, roadside shrines and crosses help to locate or mark fields, meadows, forests and paths. Furthermore, the data that shed light on the motivation of microtoponyms document the relationship between the abovementioned examples of sacral architecture with the surrounding physiographic objects, highlighting the role of these forms in folk culture. Both roadside crosses and shrines commemorate past events and preserve the elements of rural customs. The few specimens of sacral architecture functioning as the motivation for microtoponyms also confirm the fact that, for the oldest generation of village inhabitants, religion is still one of the most important values.

Utekstowiona przestrzeń miejska w świetle badań mediolingwistycznych
Authors: Makowska Magdalena
Published: December 2020

Discussions concerning contemporary communication usually centre around communication that is mediallyintermediated. However, it appears that also urban space may constitute an interesting source of research inspiration since it is full of urban texts which assume diversified functions in it. Research into the so-called linguistic landscape focuses on the verbal layer of the text. In the meantime, the majority of urban texts pertain to multimodal texts, making use not only of words, but also images. In the article an attempt was made at describing the multimodal linguistic landscape of Cracow. The collected research material was subject to analysis taking into consideration the composition of particular texts as well as tasks performed by them, which became the basis for the creation of a profile of urban texts in structural and functional terms.
