Modeling Natural Frequencies of Vibration of Three Dimensional Frames under Two Dimensional Loading
Authors: Mutala Gideon Nzioki
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between natural frequency of vibration, the height of the structure, the stiffnesses of members and number bays of a structure. The relationship was to be developed based on data obtained using two methods. The methods were theoretical and experimental. In the theoretical method Computer Modeling was done based on structural theory. In the experimental method physical prototypes of structures were made to vibrate freely.

In the theoretical approach, a matrix approach a computer program which generated structural models was developed using a matrix method. A horizontal force would be input   at a top joint of each model and deflection at the centre of mass was calculated. The deflection was the amplitude of vibration. The stiffness of the structure was then calculated using the structural amplitude obtained. The stiffness would then be used to calculate the natural frequency of vibration for the structural model.

In the experimental approach, physical miniature structures were fabricated with different heights, member stiffnesses and number of bays. An increasing force would be applied on each structure using a magnet which would release it, at a certain magnitude of force, to vibrate freely. Deflections against time at the centre of mass were then measured using an horizontal motion transducer. The transducer has a probe which gets depressed on contact with a vibrating object. The instrument was connected to a TDS 302 data-logger which displayed deflection against time on a screen.

Analysis of data obtained from the two approaches was done using a graphical method. The experimental data correlated very closely to the theoretical data. The results of the analysis enabled development of a formula for obtaining the natural frequency of vibration using the various parameters. The formula will aid the engineering design of tall buildings such that they do not resonate with the forces acting on them. In this way it will be possible to avoid catastrophic resonance disasters.
Las altas cortes y el cambio en las agendas gubernamentales en temas socioambientales en Argentina y Colombia

Published: December 2023

The article describes and analyzes high court decisions that aim to alter government agendas in terms of achieving intersectoriality. It is based on a comparative study of the judicialization of water pollution in rivers in Buenos Aires and Bogotá, which shows that, although the decisions respond to contextual conditions, they define similar measures for managing the fragmentation of state action, with an important difference in terms of monitoring and control mechanisms. In addition, they open opportunities for the incorporation of actors and articulation mechanisms between sectors and levels of government, which allow for the recognition and operationalization of certain cross-sectoral interdependencies. The article positions the high courts as important actors in the design of public policies; and raises the need to expand research on the results and effects of judicial decisions in order to understand their capacity to structure sustained changes in such policies.
Using Mind Maps to Identify Meaning-Making about ELs in Pre-Service Teachers
Authors: Reinhardt Katrina M. , Denney Kaitlyn E.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this research was to examine the use of mind-mapping as a classroom strategy for identifying and assessing the knowledge base of pre-service teachers as they prepare to work with English Learners (ELs) in mainstream classrooms. Using mind maps, the study identified the pre-service teachers’ knowledge base on ELs at the beginning of a 3-week service-learning course and in what areas they were able to grow. Using an action research framework and thematic analysis of the phrases written on mind maps, researchers were able to identify eleven themes prioritized by the pre-service teachers. Analysis of the mind maps revealed that pre-service teachers grew in ways that developed their knowledge of 1) supporting ELs through specific classroom strategies, 2) building awareness of and appreciating cultural diversity, 3) approaching language learning with an asset-oriented mindset, and 4) gaining a basic understanding of second language acquisition. The study found that mind maps are a helpful tool for identifying what pre-service teachers find meaningful about working with ELs as well as a source for data to inform teacher educators as they design and implement curriculum and experiences in teacher preparation that focus on ELs.

The method of GPS monitoring of small-scale inhomogeneities of the ionosphere and its application for predicting the noise immunity of satellite communication systems
Authors: Pashintsev V.P. , Tsimbal V.A. , Peskov M.V. , Toiskin V.E.
Published: December 2023

A method has been developed for GPS monitoring of small-scale fluctuations in the total electronic content of the ionosphere and using its results to predict changes in the noise immunity of satellite communication systems under ionospheric disturbances. To this end, the software of the GPStation-6 receiver of the global navigation satellite system was modified in the direction of replacing the code measurements of the total electronic content of the ionosphere with combined (code-phase) measurements, which practically eliminates the "noise" component of the measurement error. To separate small-scale fluctuations of the total electronic content from large-scale ones, it is proposed to use a 6th-order digital Butterworth filter, which in the transmission frequency range (1-10 Hz) at a sampling frequency of 50 Hz provides an amplitude-frequency response close to ideal and introduces a delay not exceeding the permissible value. An expression is obtained for calculating the output samples of this digital filter. The obtained results of estimating small-scale fluctuations of the total electron content of the ionosphere at the output of the digital filter allow us to estimate the standard deviation of these fluctuations. On this basis, the results of calculating the ionospheric flicker index of the received signals of satellite communication systems are obtained. This makes it possible to predict the probability of their erroneous reception at a given average value of the signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the satellite receiver. Analysis of the obtained results of predicting the noise immunity of satellite communication systems shows that in the conditions of an undisturbed mid-latitude ionosphere, the probability of erroneous reception may exceed the permissible value for 30 seconds. This confirms the assumption that with small-scale disturbances of the ionosphere, the probability of error in satellite communication systems may exceed the permissible value for a long time.

Published: December 2023

The task of measuring the signal-to-noise ratio in a working discrete communication channel when transmitting multi-level phase- or frequency-shift keyed signals without distorting the communication system operation is quite relevant, especially if it does not require significant computational costs. To solve it, it is proposed to use the statistical properties of a sampling of the values of the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitudes of the adjacent (current and previous) information symbols at the moment of the end of their reception. It is shown that in the channel with Gaussian noise, these properties are determined by the signal-to-noise ratio only and do not depend on the absolute levels of both signal and noise. Two algorithms for processing sample elements are introduced based on estimating their variance or frequency of exceeding a specified threshold. The necessary calculation ratios are obtained, a statistical simulation of the algorithms for estimating the channel signal-to-noise ratio when receiving a phase-shift keyed signal is carried out, and their accuracy characteristics are found. It is established that the proposed algorithms make it possible to measure the signal-to-noise ratio with the required accuracy at an appropriate sample size. The results of the study can be used both in the design and operation of digital information transmission equipment.

Background: Hair loss, commonly associated with genetics, hormones, or health conditions, is prevalent. Dandruff, resulting in flaky scalp skin, is also widespread. Ayurvedic herbal remedies show potential for addressing these hair issues. This clinical trial assesses the efficacy and safety of an ayurvedic hair oil in healthy adults with hair loss (alopecia). The aim is to evaluate its purported benefits in reducing hair fall, stimulating hair growth and alleviating scalp dandruff.
Methods: This 8-week study involved 30 subjects with hair fall. After obtaining subject consent, a test hair oil was applied topically. Assessments included evaluating hair-fall, scalp dandruff, hair-growth rate, density, and thickness. Ayurvedic assessment determined hair type. Phototrichogram, pluck-test measured growth, with endpoints including pull-test, combing-test, dermatological evaluation, and subjective questionnaires. Statistical analysis used R software (Version: 4.1.2).
Results: The study revealed significant therapeutic efficacy. The mean hair-growth rate increased significantly by 227µm/day (79.92±69.31%) over 8 weeks (p<0.01). Hair-fall decreased by 63.49±21.44%, from 97 to 31 hairs. Hair-thickness and density improved by 34.26±16.36% (p<0.01) and 39.82±34.3% (p<0.01) respectively. Scalp dandruff showed a reduction of 76.33±15.95% (p<0.01). The A:T ratio shifted positively from 3:1 to 5:1, indicating an increase in hairs in the anagen phase. No adverse effects were observed.
Conclusions: Consistent use of 'moha: 5-in-1' hair oil over 8 weeks was well-tolerated and found effective.

Tinea infections are one of the most occurring dermatophyte infection in the world and more so in tropical countries. It majorly infect children which may lead to them being segregated and shunned away from the community thereby affecting their psychological state. To prepare topical gel containing deep eutectic mixture of luliconazole heating and dispersion method were utilised, and it comprised several steps. The main focus was to improve the solubility as well as the permeability of the drug as it comes into contact with the skin. Choline bitartrate was used as a hydrogen bond donor (HBD), Gallic acid which is a carboxylic acid was used as a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), Carbopol 984NF a carbomer was used as a gelling agent. A combination of choline bitartrate and gallic acid in the ratio expressed by formulation code N3 was used for the final preparation. The final properties of the gel; viscosity, spreadability and the drug release profile of the prepared gel were investigated. The drug release of the prepared formulation was compared to the marketed formulation. 4 formulations were prepared using different ratios of the excipients and the optimized formulations were subjected to characterization. Viscosity of the tablet was controlled by amount of gelling agent used in the manufacturing process. Following FTIR studies, it was found that there were no interaction between the drug and the excipients and that the drug release depended on the type of the excipients used in the formulation. Dispersion method was found to be a suitable, easy and efficient technique for designing Topical gel containing deep eutectic mixture (DEM) for topical use.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest zagadnienie grzechu pierworodnego, tj. grzechu pierwszych ludzi w tradycji prawosławnej – Adama i Ewy – zwanego upadkiem, zepsuciem lub najczęściej grzechem prarodziców. To brzemienne w skutki wydarzenie u zarania dziejów ludzkości przyniosło następstwa, które ludzkość odczuwa do dziś. Przez wieki pojęcie upadku Adama i Ewy zrodziło wiele różnych koncepcji. W artykule zajęto się pojęciem grzechu pierworodnego według nauki Kościoła prawosławnego i ukazaniu poglądów Ojców Kościoła i pisarzy kościelnych na temat aktu stworzenia człowieka, stanu w jakim się znajdował przed upadkiem oraz charakterystyki natury ludzkiej. Człowiekowi, stworzonemu na obraz i podobieństwo Boże nie udało się osiągnąć zamierzonego celu, jakim było przebóstwienie, co w efekcie prowadziło do upadku. Upadek przyniósł śmiertelność człowieka, co z kolei dało całej ludzkości określone skutki samego grzechu pierworodnego. Zrodziło to w ciągu wieków polemikę na ten temat. W odróżnieniu od poglądów teologów zachodnich, wśród których wyróżnić możemy twórcę doktryny o dziedziczności grzechu pierworodnego, czyli św. Augustyna, chrześcijański wschód, w opinii Ojców Kościoła oraz współczesnych teologów, stał zawsze na stanowisku, że grzech prarodziców jest grzechem osobistym Adama i Ewy, a ich potomkowie dziedziczą jedynie jego skutki. W artykule ukazano odmienną koncepcję na temat upadku pierwszych ludzi i przedstawiono alternatywny punkt widzenia na stan człowieka po upadku, a także wyjaśniono rozbieżności między innymi w kwestii dogmatu o Niepokalanym Poczęciu Najświętszej Marii Panny, który to dogmat nie jest uznawany przez Kościół Prawosławny.

Published: December 2023

This article addresses the critical issue of low-vision rehabilitation (LVR) services, focusing on the challenges faced by visually impaired patients, particularly those with central visual field limitations and visual acuity of 3/60 or worse in the better eye. Glaucoma, a chronic progressive optic neuropathy, poses a significant threat to vision and quality of life. Despite the absence of a definitive cure, various treatment modalities aim to control and slow down its progression. However, the impact of glaucoma-related structural and functional vision loss on patients’ quality of life is profound. Visual rehabilitation plays a pivotal role in guiding patient-centered therapeutic decisions, yet it remains underutilized for glaucoma patients. Understanding the available LVR is crucial in developing new tools and approaches. This article provides an overview of LVR options for visually impaired individuals and emphasizes the importance of comprehensively assessing and addressing their needs, both in terms of visual function and overall well-being.

Published: December 2023

Objectives: Aortic stenosis is the most common form of degenerative heart valve disease. Acute kidney injury (AKI) after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a common complication and is related to worse outcomes. Age, creatinine, and ejection fraction (ACEF) score is a simple scoring method that includes three parameters. Our study aimed to evaluate whether ACEF score could predict the development of AKI in patients who underwent AVR.
Methods: A total of 366 consecutive patients who underwent isolated AVR for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis were evaluated retrospectively. The development of AKI was the primary endpoint of the study. The ACEF score was calculated by the formula: age (years)/left ventricular ejection fraction (%) + 1 (if baseline serum creatinine was >2 mg/dL). According to the ACEF score the study population was divided into two groups.
Results: AKI was developed in 66 (18%) patients. The cut-off value of the ACEF score for the prediction of AKI was 1.07 with a sensitivity of 69.7% and a specificity of 56.7% (AUC 0.663; 95% CI: 0.589-0.736; P<0.001). AKI incidence was found to be higher in patients with high ACEF score than low ACEF score [46 (26.1%) vs. 20 (10.5%); P<0.001]. In addition, ACEF score [OR: 2.599; 95% CI: 1.399-4.828; P=0.002] and hemoglobin levels (OR: 0.837; 95% CI: 0.729-0.961; P=0.012) were found to be independent predictors of AKI.
Conclusions: Our study revealed that the ACEF score is an independent predictor of AKI. ACEF score, as a simple and objective score, can be useful in predicting AKI in patients undergoing AVR.

Članek predstavlja analizo izhodiščnih besed za slovenizme v avstrijski nemščini ter ugotavlja njihovo današnje poznavanje in rabo. Analiza izhodiščnih besed za nekatere slovenizme (izbor po Trummerju 1997) je pokazala, da je večina teh besed nevtralnih, tako semantično kot tudi glede rabe. Rezultati anketiranja govorcev nemščine kot prvega jezika na avstrijskem Štajerskem so pokazali, da informanti najbolje poznajo slovenizme Klapotetz, Jause, Kren, Keusche in Schliwowitz in da samo te tudi pogosto uporabljajo. Članek potrjuje Trummerjevo domnevo o izginjanju slovenizmov in kaže smeri raziskovanja v povezavi z umeščanjem nemških neknjižnih zvrsti v avstrijskem govornem prostoru.

Zahvaljujoč hitremu razvoju informacijske tehnologije so digitalni korpusi postali standard v korpusnem jezikoslovju. Pridobljena spoznanja se uporabljajo v prevodoslovju, leksikografiji in poučevanju jezikov, še posebej poučevanju tujih jezikov. Prispevek se posveča vprašanju, v kolikšni meri je leksikografija v zadnjih dveh desetletjih sledila razvoju informacijske tehnologije in s tem tudi korpusnemu jezikoslovju. Pri tem je raziskovalni interes usmerjen v pedagoško leksikografijo. Z gradnjo obsežnih digitaliziranih besedilnih korpusov, kot so DeReKo Inštituta za nemški jezik v Mannheimu, jedrni korpus Digitalnega slovarja nemščine (DWDS) in drugi, je nastala dobra podlaga za sestavo enojezičnih in dvojezičnih spletnih slovarjev za potrebe učenja nemškega jezika. Kljub obsežnim besedilnim korpusom in visoko razviti tehnologiji pa še vedno ni na voljo ustreznega nabora slovarskih iztočnic, ki bi lahko služil kot podlaga za sestavo spletnih učnih slovarjev. Težavo predstavljajo predvsem kriteriji za izbor, ki so tudi tema prispevka.

Die Grenzen der Sprache und die Grenzen losigkeit der Welt. Zum Problem der Alterität bei Alma M. Karlin
Authors: Kos Dejan
Published: December 2023

Besedila Alme M. Karlin zaznamuje empatična težnja po preseganju meja lastnega sveta s pomočjo estetike in duhovnosti. Pri tem je pomenljivo, da v analitični perspektivi tako estetski (fikcionalnost, večpomenskost) kot tudi metafizični potenciali (kenoza, apofaza) ostajajo neizkoriščeni. Temeljno potezo poetike Alme M. Karlin lahko odkrijemo šele v značilnem povezovanju obeh razsežnosti. Poseben učinek njenih besedil izhaja prav iz diskretne drže, ki omogoča vzajemno transgresijo. Estetska gesta fikcionalizacije služi le kot ozadje, pred katerim se izkaže, da metafizične razsežnosti ni mogoče fikciona‑ lizirati, metafizične reference pa pričajo o tem, da je njihova odprtost absolutnejša od estetike večpomenskosti. Tako se znajdemo v svetu duhovne estetike, ki oslabi temeljne ontološke in kavzalne mehanizme konstrukcije resničnosti. Razen tega je ključnega pomena tudi dejstvo, da koncept jaza kot osnovno načelo vzpostavljanja skladnosti ni oslabljen le spričo omenjene kontingence, temveč tudi z mejno bivanjsko izkušnjo nemoči v situacijah avtentične drugosti. V značilni poetični sintezi omenjenih dejav‑ nikov se ideja bližine ne kaže le v teozofskem smislu kot skupnem jedru metafizičnih tradicij, temveč tudi kot njihov apofatični praizvor. Svetovi drugih jezikov so dostopni le v molčečnosti počel, ki vzpostavljajo jezik in svet.

Authors: Brasel Sylvia
Published: December 2023

Prispevek sodi med raziskave o potujočih Evropejkah 19. in 20. stoletja. Osrednje za‑ nimanje je namenjeno dvema besediloma Alme M. Karlin: pripovedi z naslovom Die Blaue Eidechse (1930) in delu potopisa Einsame Weltreise (1930), ki govori o Koreji. Opirajoč se na medijsko zastopanost in obravnavo Karlinove in njenega dela v dvajsetih in tridesetih letih 20. stoletja je predstavljena inscenacija »znamke« Alma Karlin, ki jo avtorica razprave v časovnem kontekstu razlaga kot rezultat interakcije med literaturo, public relations in medijsko recepcijo. V nadaljevanju prispevka je z vidika eksotizma analizirana pripoved Die Blaue Eidechse; medbesedilno je navezana na dela Maxa Dauthendeya (1911) und Rudyarda Kiplinga (1990). Z zornega kota primerjalne lite‑ rarne zgodovinarke, ki se poglobljeno ukvarja z Vzhodno Azijo, so predstavljeni novi raziskovalni izsledki. V zaključnem delu so predstavljeni pragmatični vidiki poglavja Koreji v potopisu Einsame Weltreise. Analiza vnovič dokazuje interakcijo med li‑ teraturo, public relations in recepcijo, ki vodi do uveljavitve »znamke« Alma Karlin.
Examining the Environmental Awareness of Rural Households in Terms of Household Waste Management and Purchasing Decisions
Authors: Mészáros Katalin , Németh Nikoletta , Kurucz Attila
Published: December 2023

Achieving sustainability is a shared interest which concerns both macro- and micro-level actors in the economy. Households' environmental awareness can be assessed in several aspects, where the use of resources (energy use; products, and equipment purchased) and the amount of waste produced are the key elements. Conscious purchasing behaviour and, on the other hand, waste reduction is the focus of the present study, being essential not only for sustainability but also for the implementation of a circular economy. In our study, we examined the practice of households in and around Sopron by random sampling and analysed the data with SPSS statistical program. Our aim was to highlight the differences in the attitudes of people living in villages, urban agglomerations, and the city center towards selective waste collection. Our expectation was that the examined demographic variables have an effect on environmentally conscious purchasing behavior and selective waste collection. The main consequences of the research were that the population of Sopron and its surroundings is mostly aware of selective waste collection (supported by the values obtained for the willingness and disposal of selective waste) and the commitment is independent of gender, but influenced by place of residence.
Učinkovito izobraževanje za zeleni prehod, kompetence za trajnost in projektno delo s študenti
Authors: Potočnik Topler Jasna
Published: December 2023

Visokošolsko izobraževanje je ključno pri spodbujanju zelenega prehoda in pri povečanju odpornosti družbe na izzive prihodnosti. Raziskave, inovacije ter izobraževanje, ki se izvajajo na univerzah in visokošolskih ustanovah, so pomembni, če ne celo najpomembnejši dejavniki za uresničevanje trajnostnih ciljev in oblikovanje prihodnosti, ki bo bolj odporna na spremembe. Pomen visokošolskega izobraževanja za zeleni prehod in odpornost je zlasti v raziskovanju in inovacijah, izobraževanju in osveščanju, sodelovanju s podjetji in odločevalci, učenju kritičnega razmišljanja in v izobraževanju za trajnost. Pri vseh kategorijah, še zlasti pa pri slednji, velja izpostaviti kompetence za trajnost in tako imenovani Evropski okvir kompetenc za trajnost. Ena od učinkovitejših metod učenja trajnostnih kompetenc je projektno delo, kar bomo prikazali na primeru študentskih projektov PKP in ŠIPK.

Authors: Flisar Nino
Published: December 2023

Javni zavod Mladinski kulturni center Maribor, znan tudi pod kratico MKC (em-ka-ce), predstavlja nepogrešljiv del zgodovine odraščanja več generacij mladih v Mariboru. Njegove korenine segajo v šestdeseta prejšnjega stoletja, ko je začel delovati Klub mladih na Orožnovi 2, v naslednjih dveh desetletjih so se v njem odvijale številne dejavnosti za mladino. Leta 1988 se je Klub mladih preimenoval v Klub MKC, leta 1993 pa je bil uradno ustanovljen javni zavod MKC Maribor. Pričujoča publikacija na kratek in pregleden način ob slikovnem materialu podaja bogato zgodovino tega javnega zavoda na področju mladinske kulture in politike. Ob predstavitvi raznolikih programov in projektov, ki obsegajo glasbeno, literarno ter multidisciplinarno umetniško ustvarjanje, galerijske in festivalske dejavnosti, podporo marginalnim družbenim skupinam in mladinski turizem, v njej najdemo še zgodovinske dokumente in medijske odmeve, vezane na delovanje zavoda, ter predstavitev založniške produkcije zavoda. Vse to priča o izjemno pomembni vlogi te institucije pri aktivnemu vključevanju mladih v mestno kulturno in druž­beno življenje.
As tecnologias sonoras aplicadas ao processo educativo
Authors: Ferreira Rosinete de Jesus Silva
Published: December 2023

Os campos da Comunicação e Educação possuem gêneses distintas, mas se entrelaçam constantemente. A mídia não pode ser excluída do processo de educação e sim incorporada nas ações diárias e práticas de ensino. Os adolescentes estão cada vez mais imersos nas tecnologias e nem sempre os professores os acompanham e tiram benefícios dessas dinâmicas tecnológicas para aprendizagem. Neste sentido, a pesquisa teve como objetivo central desenvolver produtos sonoros com conteúdo educacional formal e não formal. Aplicamos questionários aos professores do ensino médio do Estado do Maranhão e produzimos os podcasts com a perspectiva de potencializar o uso do áudio como uma metodologia em sala de aula. Os resultados dos questionários apontam para conhecimento da mídia podcast por meio dos professores, no entanto, há pouca utilização dessa mídia como instrumento facilitador no processo de ensino-aprendizagem.

Cyprus dispute lasts over 35 years. Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Ankara would not accept Cyprus as the chairman of the council of the European Union in the second half of 2012 year, if there is no earlier agreement concerning uniting of the island. Cyprus was divided in 1974 in response to a coup made by the Cypriot National Guard on the President of Cyprus Makarios III. In 1983, The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus declared itself independent from the Republic of Cyprus. The country was condemned by the United Nations, and is not recognized by any countries other than Turkey. Ankara, which in 2005 started accession negotiations with EU refuses to recognize Republic of Cyprus inhabited mainly by Greeks what causes the conflict between both countries and remains an obstacle to Turkish aspirations to become the member of European Union.
Liquid Fear: Bauman’s Metaphorical Insights in Relation to Covid-19 Fear Metaphors
Authors: Dixon Izabela
Published: December 2023

In this study I attempt to demonstrate how Zygmunt Bauman’s insights published in his book entitled Liquid Fear (2006) benefit the cognitive study of the emotion of fear by drawing correspondences between Bauman’s liquid reality and the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on my, largely unpublished, linguistic study of fear and on metaphors pervading Bauman’s work, I extrapolated key components of the fear frame. Having also conducted the study of concepts that dominated the Covid-19 media narratives, I relate and analyse the validity and transferability of conceptual domains within selected contextual models of social and verbal behaviours related to fear. Bauman’s metaphorical observations are woven into the analytical patchwork of this paper.
Julian of Norwich’s a Revelation of Love: A Grounded Cognition Approach to a Late Medieval Text
Authors: Stadnik Katarzyna
Published: December 2023

Julian of Norwich was a late medieval anchoress and writer, whose work, The Showings, is known for its vivid imagery and bodily resonance it prompts in the reader. The paper identifies a gap in research on the embodied aspects of Julian’s imagery. The article discusses the connection between perception, action and the grounded nature of cognition, exploring its role in structuring Julian’s text. It uses the conceptions of situated conceptualisation and sociocultural situatedness to embed the work in the visual/material culture of the Middle Ages. It reveals how the mystic construes emotionally intense images, which underpin the abstract language of the text’s final chapters. To conclude, the recent conceptions from cognitive science may expand the analytical toolkit of cognitive-diachronic research in particular, helping illuminate the interplay of language, culture, and cognition.
The interface of real world, lexicalization and conceptualization on the example of the Contact Sense of the German preposition an (on, at) and its Polish Spanish and English counterparts
Authors: Mazurkiewicz-Sokołowska Jolanta
Published: December 2023

The paper takes up the issue of creating meanings, focusing the dynamic relation between lexicalization and conceptualization on the example of prepositions. By providing a systematic view of the specific meanings of the Contact Sense of the German preposition an (on, at) and its Polish, Spanish and English counterparts, the interface between the given real spatial relation of two objects, its lexicalization and the emerging conceptualization is highlighted. Special attention is paid to the role of the particular pieces of knowledge and experience being activated in creating these meanings in order to look closely at the concept of context as this context is usually interpreted differently by different researchers. The attempt to show what happens step by step when conceptualizing a real spatial relation and its linguistic expression fixed in the lexicalization pattern is motivated by the finding that the difficulty with clear determination and separation of the context information from the information actually creating the meaning is one of the reasons why studies on the cognitive aspects of the semantics of prepositions have been abandoned over time. The paper aims to contribute to the elaboration of an authoritative method of establishing and identifying meanings of prepositions, and to contribute to the discussion about the language-thought relation providing arguments supporting the view of language as a trigger for conceptualizations provided by the embodied cognition rather than as a tool shaping thoughts.
Ciało i czas
Authors: Adamczyk Monika Dorota
Published: December 2023

Ciało i czas, pojęcia tak często przez nas używane. Rozumiemy je intuicyjnie, jak „zmarszczkę lub kartkę z kalendarza” i jesteśmy przekonani, że nic nowego powiedzieć na ich temat nie można. Rozdział ciało i czas ukazuje inną, nową perspektywę, osadzając oba zjawiska na płaszczyznach oczywistych i mniej oczywistych. Rozważania przedstawione w rozdziale, prowadzą czytelnika przez obszary tematyczne wyjaśniające wzajemne powiązania ciała i czasu, w kontekście procesów i zjawisk społeczny takich jak np. rozwój kultury konsumpcyjnej i towarzyszący je „kult młodego ciała”, starzenia się globalnej populacji, rozwoju nauki i technologii. Poszczególne części rozdziału poświęcone są charakterystyce najistotniejszy teorii opisujących obie kategorie pojęciowe, jak również najważniejsze zagadnienia związane z ich rozumieniem. Pojęcia czasu ilościowego, czasu jakościowego, sekwencyjności zdarzeń, czy czasu społecznego ilustrowane są przykładami wiążącymi je z pojęciem ciała. Zabieg taki przybliża czytelnikowi nie tylko znaczenie poszczególnych pojęć, ale również wskazuje na trwałe wzajemne powiązanie obu kategorii pojęciowych na poziomie indywidualnym i społecznym.
