Authors: Filiz Bijen
Published: February 2020

The aim of this study was to determine whether physical education teachers' (PETs) views and attitudes towards the use of technology in education differed by gender, educational stage, type of school, age, and number of students in classroom. Study sample consisted of 270 volunteer PETs. A parallel mixed design was used. General screening method was used in the quantitative study and content analysis was used in the qualitative study. Data were collected using the scale of attitudes towards the use of technology in education, and open-ended questions prepared by the researcher. It was determined that PETs who are women, work in high school, their classroom between 26-30 and 36-40 years old have more difficulty in using technology and classroom control in the course. Moreover, PETs working in private schools had more developed technical skills. The results indicate that PETs attitudes towards the use of technological materials should be improved.

Published: February 2020

Because of the rapid technological developments taking place today, it is inevitable that these developments will show themselves in every aspect of human life. These rapid transformations constitute many changes in the structure and living conditions of society. Technology, having started to show itself with all of its aspects especially in the present century, is important in terms of making people reach whatever there is in the field of technology and innovation as soon as possible through mass media. In this context, many countries create systems that produce sports technology by integrating technology into sports. These technologies, which are not limited only to sports products, have also shown their effect on the materials used by referees who are the head of decision mechanisms in sport. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of sports, sports education, technological uses, and their effects on sports education. The study is a descriptive one based on qualitative research methods. Document review has been implemented as a data collection method.

Authors: Pachariya Manoj Kumar
Published: February 2020

This article presents the empirical study of multi-criteria test case prioritization. In this article, a test case prioritization problem with time constraints is being solved by using the ant colony optimization (ACO) approach. The ACO is a meta-heuristic and nature-inspired approach that has been applied for the statement of a coverage-based test case prioritization problem. The proposed approach ranks test cases using statement coverage as a fitness criteria and the execution time as a constraint. The proposed approach is implemented in MatLab and validated on widely used benchmark dataset, freely available on the Software Infrastructure Repository (SIR). The results of experimental study show that the proposed ACO based approach provides near optimal solution to test case prioritization problem.

Published: February 2020

Namen članka je predstaviti kakovost družbene infrastrukture izbranih kratkih oskrbnih prehranskih verig v Mestni občini Ljubljana in njen vpliv na varovanje virov, zmanjšanje odpadne hrane in embalaže. V raziskavi smo obravnavali šest ponudnikov, vključenih v kratke oskrbne prehranske verige z zabojčki, skupnim naročanjem in partnerskim kmetovanjem. Presoja objektov s pomočjo smernic trajnostne gradnje BNB (Bewertungssystem Nachhaltiges Bauen) je pokazala slabo kakovost in pomanjkljivo družbeno infrastrukturo. V pogovoru z intervjuvanci smo spoznali, da si želijo urejena in lahko dostopna prevzemna mesta z objekti, ki bi omogočali dobre pogoje za ljudi in živila. Mestna občina Ljubljana ima glede na bližnje podeželje z dobrimi pogoji za ekstenzivno in ekološko kmetijsko pridelavo še veliko možnosti za povečanje samooskrbe s kakovostno domačo hrano, ob tem pa bo morala poskrbeti za razvoj družbene infrastrukture.

Authors: Gil Tae Hyun , Lee Wang Heon , Ahn Johng-Hwa
Published: February 2020

Objective : Present research discussed the utilization of pumpkin-seed residue (PSR) after oil extraction with methanol as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solution.Method : The experiment was carried out to evaluate the influence of PSR adsorbent dose (7.5-25 g/L), initial MB concentration (25-200 mg/L), contact time (30-120 min), pH (3-11), and temperature (293-333 K). Adsorption isotherms were modeled with the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms. The kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models.Results and Discussion : A pseudo-equilibrium state was reached within 30 min of contact time at low initial MB concentration (25-50 mg/L) and 90 min at high concentration (100-200 mg/L). Increasing pH and temperature caused an increase in adsorption capacity. Thermodynamic studies demonstrated that the adsorption process was spontaneous with Gibb’s free-energy values ranging between -15.78 to -13.87 kJ/mol and endothermic with an enthalpy value of 0.011 kJ/mol. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted well with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was 20.33 mg/g. Tempkin isotherm model clarified that the heat of sorption process was 6.28 J/mol. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second order kinetics model and its rate constant was 0.002-0.278 g/mg･min.Conclusions : Findings of the present study indicated that the PSR can be successfully used for removal of MB from aqueous solution. Therefore, the PSR was shown to have good potential as a biosorbent for MB removal.

Recent government initiatives have required universities to include specific literacy and numeracy targets for the students. The authors – both members of the English discipline at Charles Sturt University – were invited to develop and run a two-semester program for all students studying to become early childhood, primary, and secondary teachers. This article outlines the nature of the two subjects which comprise the program: the first focused on reading and comprehension, the second on writing and composition. These subjects were conceived from collegial dialogues between academics in education and the humanities, and then developed from these different assumptions and starting points. Over the last five years, the shared experiences of teaching these prospective teachers has grown into a strongly coherent first year of study. This article seeks the describe the experiences of teaching literacy to first-year education students, and it is by turns hypothesising and speculative, reflective and qualitative, in its approach. In the process, this article offers colleagues across the country a reflection on the hypotheses of literacy education, some new ideas for teaching literacy, and some optimism for the future of the teaching profession, and the dignity of those who aspire to be a part of it.

The model took into account the influence of elevation fluctuation and latitude change on the model, and analyzed the relevant characteristics with seasonal changes. The 2015 GGOS grid data and radiosonde data were used as the reference value for accuracy assess. The established QTm model was compared with GPT2w model in bias and RMS. Compared with GGOS grid data, the average annual bias and RMS of QTm model were -0.28K and 2.70k respectively. The RMS of GPT2w-5 and GPT2w-1 were 58.16% and 28.84% higher, respectively. Compared with radiosonde data, QTm model has 1.13k average annual bias and the RMS error of 2.92k. Compared with GPT2w-5 and GPT2w-1, the RMS value of QTm model was improved by 25.08% and 29.43%, respectively. The value of atmospheric water vapor conversion coefficient was calculated by the integral method calculated by radio sounding data in the Qinghai-Tibet region in 2015 was used as the reference value for assess the performance of conversion factor K, and compared and analyzed the conversion coefficient K which provided by QTm and GPT2w. The results show that the value of Tm provided by QTm model has the highest accuracy, which is 25.07% higher than that of GPT2w-5 and 29.42% higher than that of GPT2w-1.

AN ENERGY SEGMENTATION METHOD OF HIGH-RESOLUTION SAR IMAGE BASED ON MULTIPLE FEATURES
Authors: Wang Y. , You H. T. , Liu T L.
Published: February 2020

Abstract. To achieve the optimal image segmentation, an energy segmentation method based on multiple features and blocks for high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image is proposed in this paper. First of all, a feature vector of pixel is formed with the texture feature extracted by curvelet transform and means function, the boundary feature extracted by curvelet transform and Canny Operator, and the original spectral feature; a feature set is formed by all feature vectors of pixels in the image. The feature vector is considered as segmentation basis, and its domain is partitioned by regular tessellation. On the partitioned image domain, a label variable is assigned to a regular block; each homogeneous region is fitted by one or more regular blocks; Obviously, a label field is formed by all the label variables of regular blocks. The model of label field is built by using energy function of neighborhood relationship. The feature set is considered as a realization of a random filed of multiple features (multiple features field for short). A heterogeneous energy function is used to establish the model of multiple features field. Then the established models of the label field and multiple features field are combined to define global energy function of image segmentation, and non-constrained Gibbs probability distribution is used to describe the global energy function to build the energy segmentation model based on multiple features. Further, a RJMCMC algorithm is designed to simulate from the model to segment SAR image. To verify the feasibility and superiority of the proposed approach, real SAR images are tested.

Published: February 2020

Abstract. Technologies such as satellite remote sensing, global positioning, laser scanning, airborne radar, tilt photography, and drones are rapidly developing. Spatial data is exploding at an unprecedented rate every day, in a short period of time. The elements of natural resources products vary, and sampling inspection is generally used to evaluate the quality level of a lot of products. The sampling inspection is based on the rigorous probability theory. Samples are randomly taken from a lot of products according to the sampling scheme for inspection, and the quality of the lot is represented by the quality status of a small number of samples. In the small data era, it can achieve quality inspection of natural resources products with the least labor cost and the smallest number of samples. However, how to select a good sample is a difficult problem. In theory, using any set of sample data, we can not get the exact total truth value, and the sampling error is inevitable.This paper gives an overview of the basic rules of sampling inspection, including the basics of mathematics, basic principles and selection of sampling schemes. It introduces in detail the parameters, characteristics and methods of a sampling inspection, and uses the surveying and sampling scheme adopted for Natural Resources Products inspection. For example, it analyzes the incompatibility of the risk of the producer, the user, the inspector and the sample size selection, and puts forward suggestions for improving the sampling scheme of natural resources products.

Published: February 2020

Abstract. This paper mainly uses manual calibration technology to check the elements Yaw, Pitch and Roll (YPR) in the LiDAR DGPS/IMU system and obtained the error value. Combined with the error angle, the external azimuth angle elements Kappa, Omega and Phi required by photogrammetry are obtained. The paper points out that the placement angle error will have a serious impact on the LiDAR foot position. Therefore, this paper puts forward a method to check the placement angle of the steeple roof and flat straight highway, and gives the design scheme of the optimized route to reduce the number of flights. This paper focuses on the specific process of YPR calibration, and gives a mathematical calibration model based on the influence of attitude angles Yaw, Pitch and Roll on the LiDAR foot during the flight. The placement angle error is obtained after the calibration, and the error angle matrix is used to convert the elements YPR and OPK. After checking and error correction, the point cloud obtained from adjacent airlines have achieved better coincidence effect. The experimental results show that the theory and method of YPR element calibration are correct and feasible, which simplifies the conversion process of YPR and OPK. Compared with the traditional calibration method that requires control points, this method can greatly improve the efficiency and reliability of the inspection.

Africa, the Sweet Home of Roots or the Dark Continent of Primitiveness?: Alice Walker’s Africa in The Color Purple
Authors: Sun Lei , Kong Xiangyong
Published: February 2020

With the detection from the post-colonial perspective, there is a certain amount of truth in the statement that Alice Walker’s The Color Purple sometimes reveals Eurocentric ideology, even though she overtly makes efforts for Africa and Africans. The way in which she delineates Nettie’s missionary job in Olinka, confirms habitual Western suspicions about equality between Europe and Africa. With the reexamination of the depiction about the African continent Nettie sketches out, additionally, we might notice Walker’s intention of setting up Africa as a foil to Europe, to some extent, echoes Said’s orientalist discourse.

Authors: Hong H. , Dowdy D. W. , Dooley K. E. , Francis H. W. , Budhathoki C. , Han H-R. , Farley J. E.
Published: February 2020

SETTING: The ototoxic effects of aminoglycosides (AGs) lead to permanent hearing loss, which is one of the devastating consequences of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment. As AG ototoxicity is dose-dependent, the impact of a surrogate measure of AG exposure on
AG-induced hearing loss warrants close attention for settings with limited therapeutic drug monitoring.OBJECTIVE: To explore the prognostic impact of cumulative AG dose on AG ototoxicity in patients following initiation of AG-containing treatment for MDR-TB.DESIGN: This
prospective cohort study was nested within an ongoing cluster-randomized trial of nurse case management intervention across 10 MDR-TB hospitals in South Africa.RESULTS: The adjusted hazard of AG regimen modification due to ototoxicity in the high-dose group (≥75 mg/kg/week) was
1.33 times higher than in the low-dose group (<75 mg/kg/week, 95%CI 1.09–1.64). The adjusted hazard of developing audiometric hearing loss was 1.34 times higher than in the low-dose group (95%CI 1.01–1.77). Pre-existing hearing loss (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.71, 95%CI 1.29–2.26)
and age (aHR 1.16 per 10 years of age, 95%CI 1.01–1.33) were also associated with an increased risk of hearing loss.CONCLUSION: MDR-TB patients with high AG dose, advanced age and pre-existing hearing loss have a significantly higher risk of AG-induced hearing loss. Those
at high risk may be candidates for more frequent monitoring or AG-sparing regimens.

Authors: Kubielas Grzegorz
Published: February 2020

The number of patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) that require inclusion in the renal replacement therapy program (RRT) is steadily increasing. This fact caused an increase in vascular operations involving the production of vascular access. According to the current guidelines, the best and safest option for a patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the early creation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF). An efficient vascular access to haemodialysis determines the procedure and directly affects the quality of life of a patient with CKD. The aim of this paper is to present the author's project of the health policy program „Vascular access in renal replacement therapy - fistula first / catheter last", the essence of which is to assess the practical effectiveness and develop an optimal model of CKD patient care organization qualified for the chronic RRT program. The target population of the program consists of all patients diagnosed with CKD, qualified for the RRT program. The basic measures of the program's effectiveness include: (1) reduction in the number of re-hospitalizations related to vascular access, (2) reduction in the number of complications associated with haemofiltration surgery, (3) reduction in general mortality among patients undergoing dialysis in a 12-month perspective, (4) increasing knowledge in the field of self-care and self-care of arteriovenous anastomosis, and (5) creating a register of vascular access in Poland. To sum up, health policy programme "Vascular access in renal replacement therapy - fistula first / catheter last" covering health care services provided in the scope and on the conditions specified in the regulations issued on the basis of article 31d of the Act of 27 August 2004 on health care benefits financed from public funds, is to check whether planned changes in the organization and delivery of services will improve the situation of patients with CKD eligible for chronic RRT and whether it will be effective the point of view of the health care system.

Published: February 2020

Objectives Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and hypersomnolence (HPS) are very disabling conditions that may share some pathophysiological factors. This study aimed to evaluate the interaction between MSK pain and HPS and its association with mood symptoms, fatigue, quality of life, and both objective and subjective sleep quality.

Design Cross-sectional study.

Setting General population based sample.

Participants 510 individuals from EPISONO cohort, São Paulo (Brazil).

Measurements All participants completed questionnaires, had clinical assessment and underwent a full-night polysomnography. HPS was defined according to Epworth Sleepiness Scale while the presence of MSK pain was defined by structured questionnaire. The sample was allocated into 4 groups: control (CTRL, n=281), HPS (n=141), MSK (n=50), and both conditions (HPS+MSK, n=38).

Results MSK pain and HPS by themselves were associated with worse mood symptoms and quality of life. However, individuals with both associated conditions (HPS+MSK) presented higher frequencies of moderate to severe depression (44.1%) and anxiety symptoms (45.7%), as well as an additional decrease in quality of life compared to the other groups. There were no differences between HPS+MSK and MSK groups in objective sleep pattern. With regard to subjective sleep, HPS+MSK presented a higher prevalence of sleep attacks and cataplexy compared to all other groups.

Conclusions The combination of MSK pain and HPS was associated with worse mood symptoms, quality of life and HPS-related features. This study suggests that sleepiness may be an important symptom to be investigated and treated in MSK pain-related conditions for a better quality of life.
La juridización judicial de la salud en relación al cannabis. Análisis de fallos españoles de tribunales superiores
Authors: Galati Elvio
Published: February 2020

El trabajo analiza algunos fallos españoles del tribunal supremo y del tribunal constitucional referidos al cannabis para dar cuenta del grado de juridización de la salud presente en ellos. También se los analiza desde la Teoría General del Derecho, para comprobar si elaboran o aplican normas. Y se relacionan estos dos aspectos: la juridización y el funcionamiento de las normas. En la Medicina la medicalización y en el Derecho la juridización implican la intervención indebida de una disciplina, transformando situaciones de la vida cotidiana o factores de riesgo en enfermedades o en delitos o ilicitudes, respectivamente. La juridización es judicial cuando quienes intervienen indebidamente son los jueces. La juridización puede ser baja, media o alta, según la intensidad de la intervención, que es valorada negativamente, si la justicia es la libertad del individuo para que, según su cosmovisión, desarrolle su personalidad. La metodología es cualitativa y cuantitativa, en tanto, por un lado, aúna el rigor numérico de la regularidad, y la comprobación empírica de las afirmaciones y, por el otro, comprende el sentido -interpretación- de las conductas apreciadas a través del estudio de casos. Se concluye provisoriamente en la juridización judicial a nivel de los tribunales superiores españoles.

The paper analyzes some Spanish judgements of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court as regards cannabis to account for the degree of juridization of health included in them. They are also analyzed from the General Theory of Law, to check whether they elaborate or apply rules. And these two aspects are related: the juridization and the operation of the rules. In medicine, medicalization, and in law, juridization imply the improper intervention of a discipline, transforming situations of everyday life or risk factors into diseases, or into crimes or illegality, respectively. Juridization is judicial when those who are inappropriately involved are judges. The juridization can be low, medium or high, depending on the intensity of the intervention, which is negatively assessed, if justice is the freedom of the individual so that, according to their worldview, individuals can develop their personality. The methodology is qualitative and quantitative because, on the one hand, it combines the numerical rigor of regularity and the empirical verification of the statements and, on the other hand, it comprises the sense -interpretation-of the behaviors appreciated through the study of cases. It is provisionally concluded in the judicial juridization at the level of the Spanish superior courts.

Authors: García Capilla Diego José , Torralba Madrid María José
Published: February 2020

La aparición del Estado del bienestar a mitad del siglo XX tuvo consecuencias sanitarias que culminan con el reconocimiento del derecho a la protección de la salud y el deber de asistencia sanitaria del Estado, con una extensión de la medicina a campos desconocidos, medicalizando la vida de las personas. El TDAH es un caso paradigmático, convirtiéndose en una patología psiquiátrica a partir de su inclusión en el DSM-III 1980, con inconsistencias y subjetividad en las clasificaciones. La etiología del trastorno es desconocida, su diagnóstico es subjetivo y dudoso, su tratamiento poco efectivo y con riesgos, incrementando el número de casos diagnosticados y los beneficios de la industria farmacéutica. Desde la Bioética se impone una reflexión sobre los posible daños derivados de la medicalización (no-maleficencia), una prudente actuación de los profesional (beneficencia), respeto al criterio de niños y adolescentes (autonomía) y una perspectiva crítica en relación con el gasto derivado de su diagnóstico (justicia).

The emergence of the welfare state in the mid-twentieth century had health consequences that culminated in the recognition of the right to health protection and the duty of health care of the State, with an extension of medicine to unknown fields, medicalizing the life of people. ADHD is a paradigmatic case, becoming a psychiatric pathology due to its inclusion in the DSM-III 1980, with inconsistencies and subjectivity in the classifications. The etiology of the disorder is unknown, its diagnosis is subjective and doubtful, its treatment ineffective and with risks, increasing the number of cases diagnosed and the benefits of the pharmaceutical industry. From the Bioethics a reflection on the possible damages derived from the medicalization (nonmaleficence), a prudent action of the professional (beneficence), respect to the criterion of children and adolescents (autonomy) and a critical perspective in relation to the expense is imposed derived from his diagnosis (justice).

La adopción de los planteamientos metodológicos de una teoría del discurso permite abordar en forma descriptiva y explicativamente adecuadas la complejidad del funcionamiento y la estructura de los actos de habla. El análisis de cuatro tipos de actos de habla en el Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes realizado en este artículo permite comprobar que los planteamientos explicativos del documento curricular están anclados, sobre todo, en una perspectiva gramatical que lleva a tratar en forma insatisfactoria la mayoría de las tácticas discursivas. Estas últimas se sirven de unidades no gramaticalizadas, que son una parte esencial de los recursos disponibles para la construcción de los actos de habla.

The adoption of the methodological basis of a theory of discourse makes it possible to analyze the complexity of the functioning and the structure of speech acts in a adecuate descriptive and explanatory manner. The analysis of four types of speech acts in the PCIC carried out in this article shows that the explanatory points of view of the Instituto Cervantes curriculum are anchored, above all, in a grammatical perspective that leads to the unsatisfactory treatment of most of the discursive tactics, based on ungrammaticalized units, which are an essential part of the resources available for the construction of speech acts.
De la micro a la macroestructura: una aproximación a las funciones discursivas y procesos de gramaticalización de las construcciones «no digamos», «no te digo nada» y «no te digo más»
Authors: Brenes Ester
Published: February 2020

Este artículo pretende realizar una aportación al estudio de la evolución de los operadores discursivos, centrándonos, para ello, en el análisis de las expresiones metalingüísticas no digamos, no te digo nada, y no te digo más. Estas tres construcciones, que tienen como base la negación del verbo decir, han adquirido en las últimas décadas un contenido procedimental relacionado con la dimensión argumentativa que ha conllevado modificaciones de diversa índole en su funcionamiento. Nuestro estudio alberga una aproximación a la identificación de las funciones discursivas desempeñadas por cada una de ellas y del estadio de fijación alcanzado. Las conclusiones obtenidas nos muestran que son unidades en pleno proceso de gramaticalización que han surgido para dar respuesta a las necesidades expresivas de los interlocutores.

This article intends to make a contribution to the study of the evolution of discursive operators. For this, we focus on the analysis of metalinguistic expressions, no digamos, no te digo nada, and no te digo más.

These three constructions have acquired a procedural content related to the argumentative dimension that has led to changes of various kinds. Our study involves an approach to the identification of the discursive functions performed by each of them, as well as the stage of fixation reached. The conclusions obtained show us that they are units in the process of grammaticalization that have arisen to respond to the expressive needs of

the interlocutors.
Atenuación y posibilidad: interacciones entre dos contenidos procedimentales
Authors: Fuentes Rodríguez Catalina
Published: February 2020

El estudio de la atenuación implica tener en cuenta el contenido léxicosemántico de las expresiones, las construcciones en las que aparecen y la presencia de operadores especializados. El presente trabajo analiza dos construcciones, en la medida de lo posible y en lo posible, describe sus usos y los contenidos procedimentales que expresan, que van en dos direcciones: la limitación de la referencia (función marco, argumentativa, ligada al concepto de posibilidad) y la atenuación discursiva (estrategia a la que sirven cuando la minimización afecta a la fuerza ilocutiva). Además, se plantea el grado de fijación de ambas construcciones para determinar si pueden ser consideradas ya operadores discursivos

 The study of attenuation implies taking into account the lexical-semantic content of the expressions, the constructions in which appear and the presence of specialized operators. This paper analyzes two constructions, en lo posible and en la medida de lo posible, describes their uses and the procedural meanings they convey, which goes in two directions: the limitation of the reference (argumentative framework function, linked to the concept of possibility) and the discursive attenuation (strategy they serve when minimization affects the illocutive force). The degree of fixation of both constructions is also discussed in order to determine whether they can already be considered discursive operators.
Condicionantes sociolingüísticos en la expresión del sujeto pronominal en el corpus PRESEEA-Sevilla: el sociolecto alto
Authors: Repede Doina
Published: February 2020

Este trabajo se propone analizar la variable presencia / ausencia del pronombre personal sujeto junto a un verbo conjugado en el español hablado de la comunidad urbana de Sevilla. En concreto, intentamos establecer cuáles son los factores internos y externos que determinan el empleo del sujeto pronominal en una muestra de 24 entrevistas semidirigidas correspondientes al sociolecto alto y que forman del corpus PRESEEA en la ciudad. Para ello, seguimos la guía de codificación propuesta por Bentivoglio, Ortiz y Silva-Corvalán (2011) para el proyecto panhispánico PRESEEA. Los resultados muestran que el pronombre sujeto se utiliza un 24,8%, y parece estar condicionado, entre otros, por criterios como persona gramatical, especificidad, ambigüedad de la forma verbal, clase semántica del verbo, correfencialidad, edad, etc.

This study aims to analysis the variable presence/absence of the personal pronoun subject with a conjugated verb in Spanish language spoken in the city of Seville. Specifically, we try to stablish which internal or external factors are involved in the pronominal subject use in a sample of 24 semi-controlled interviews corresponding to the high sociolect and taken from the PRESEEA-Seville corpus. For this, we base our analysis on the coding guidelines proposed by Bentivoglio, Ortiz and Silva-Corvalán (2011) for the PRESEEA panhispanic project. The results show that the subject pronoun is used in 24,8% and it is conditioned by different criteria, such as grammatical person, specificity, ambiguity of the verbal form, semantic class of the verb, co-reference or age.
Los verbos «llamarse» y «apellidarse»: una caracterización histórica y cognitiva
Authors: Fernández Jaén Jorge
Published: February 2020

El propósito de este artículo es presentar una caracterización sintáctica y semántica de los verbos llamarse y apellidarse efectuada desde los presupuestos de la lingüística cognitivo-funcional. Nuestro objetivo es poner de manifiesto cómo funcionan estos verbos en español, cuáles son sus peculiaridades conceptuales (peculiaridades muy notables en el contexto de las lenguas europeas) y cuáles son las posibles razones -históricas y lingüísticas- por las que estas formas verbales pronominales y no otras se utilizan en español para expresar el nombre propio y el apellido. El trabajo ofrece reflexiones originales acerca de estos verbos e hipótesis novedosas sobre la relación entre los verbos de habla, la reflexividad, la representación de uno mismo y la fuerza ilocutiva del lenguaje.

This article has as its purpose to offer a syntactic and semantic profile of the verbs llamarse and apellidarse carried out from the postulates of cognitive-functional linguistics. It i  sour intention to: (a) show how these verbs work in Spanish; (b) identify their conceptual peculiarities (which are quite remarkable within the context of European languages); and (c) explain the possible -historical and linguistic- reasons why these pronominal verbs, and not others, are used to express the Christian name and the surname in Spanish. This work provides original and the illocutionary force of language.
Wpływ złagodzenia reżimu granicznego na Białorusi na wielkość ruchu turystycznego – wstęp do badań = The influence of relaxation of the border regime in Belarus on tourist traffic – introduction to the research
Authors: Więckowski Marek , Cyargeenka Aliaksandr
Published: February 2020

Belarus was long a country to which visits by foreign tourists were highly restricted. However,recent years have brought a marked improvement in conditions and possibilities regarding crossings of the border and onward travel into the country. Of key significance to the introduction of the new facilitations are changes of the border regime and an easing of the regulations concerning arrivals that have been achieved by action at central level. Since 2015 in particular, it has been possible to note an unprecedented new scale and rate of change where the border regime is concerned. By virtue of Decisions of the President of the Republic of Belarus, a number of signed Decrees have appeared to bring zones of visa-free travel into existence, with a view to it being easier for visitors to cross over the state border into the country. Presidential Decrees have in fact both established visa-free zones and brought in other regulations making it easier for foreigners to visit. While on the one hand these changes are analogous to those found in other parts of the world at various different times, they on the other hand have certain unique features, especially given the specific nature of Belarus’s isolation in the international arena over more recent decades. Thus, the last few years have seen three types of visa-free zone system come into existence, i.e.: • border zones – on the Poland-Belarus border, and partly also that between Belarus and Lithuania; • zones at airports – especially the capital-city (national) airport known as Minsk-2, but also the airports (and the railway stations) in Brest and Hrodna; • visa-free regimes associated with special occasions, notably sporting events. In terms of main reasons for establishment, the zones that have appeared are: • along the western border (with a view to tourism developing in the Brest and Hrodna regions); • by airports (for the sake of the development of the airports as such, but also the adjacent industrial and capital-city areas, as well as the furthering of regional tourism); • linked closely with sporting events (to help ensure that the image of the country as a whole is promoted). The entry into force of the Decrees in question, and the subsequent taking effect of visa-free regimes at all border crossings, has done much to increase the intensity of the traffic involving Polish people. Since 2015, there has been a steady rise in both absolute numbers of Poles travelling into Belarus, and the share of all visits they account for. This can be closely associated with the commencement of the visa-free regimes. Consecutive years after the years of introduction did not necessarily bring major further increases in numbers travelling; or even witnessed certain decreases. There is also a marked seasonality to numbers of Poles travelling to Belarus, with the peak obviously tending to coincide with the summer months.
O „chronicznej nieokreśloności tłumaczenia”. Uwagi o przekładach Paradise Lost Johna Miltona na języki francuski i polski
Authors: Dąmbska-Prokop Urszula
Published: February 2020

W uwagach o „chronicznej nieokreśloności tłumaczenia” postawiono pytanie o stopnie przekładalności tekstu, od hipotetycznej przekładalności maksymalnej do przekładalności „przybliżonej”, trudnej do zaakceptowania. Analizą objęto poemat Paradise Lost Johna Miltona, jego dwa przekłady francuskie (Chateaubrianda i Armanda Himy’ego) oraz trzy polskie (wraz z szeregiem tłumaczonych krótkich na ogół fragmentów). Przypomniano czynniki warunkujące z jednej strony zamysł autora tłumaczonego tekstu, z drugiej strony odczytanie i przekazanie tekstu przez tłumacza. Podkreślona została zależność między przekształcaniem dyskursu przez poszczególnych tłumaczy a celem jaki sobie stawiali, sytuacją w jakiej działali i ich indywidualnymi upodobaniami. Porównanie tekstów nie doprowadziło jednak do „schematycznego i ścisłego opisu” stopni przekładalności, co potwierdzałoby tezę o chronicznej nieokreśloności tłumaczenia.
