Efectos del cambio tecnológico en los mercados de trabajo regionales en México
Authors: Rodríguez Pérez Reyna Elizabeth , Castro Lugo David
Published: January 2020

El cambio tecnológico ha provocado que las organizaciones requieran trabajadores con mayor calificación para el desarrollo, implementación y adaptación de tecnología en aras de hacer frente a la competitividad internacional. El objetivo de este documento es analizar las transformaciones que se han presentado en los mercados de trabajo regionales en México en materia ocupacional y salarial e identificar en qué medida estas modificaciones pueden ser consecuencia del cambio tecnológico y si este comportamiento es homogéneo a nivel espacial. La fuente principal de información fueron los microdatos de la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo Urbano (eneu) 2000–2004. Los resultados del análisis empírico –que consideró trabajadores en actividades de alta y baja intensidad tecnológica y aplicó una función de ingreso minceriana con diferentes criterios de clasificación: educación, sexo, grupos de edad y regiones– indican que durante el periodo se han presentado modificaciones importantes en el mercado laboral mexicano como consecuencia del cambio tecnológico sesgado, ya que se aporta evidencia estadística que indica la existencia de un mayor premio salarial para los subordinados en el área tecnológica y efectos diferenciados a nivel regional, favoreciendo en mayor medida a la frontera.
New Insights into Oxidative Damage and Iron Associated Impairment in Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Toro-Urrego Nicolas , Turner Liliana F. , Avila-Rodriguez Marco F.
Published: January 2020

:

Traumatic Brain Injury is considered one of the most prevalent causes of death around the world; more
than seventy millions of individuals sustain the condition per year. The consequences of traumatic brain injury on
brain tissue are complex and multifactorial, hence, the current palliative treatments are limited to improve patients’
quality of life. The subsequent hemorrhage caused by trauma and the ongoing oxidative process generated
by biochemical disturbances in the in the brain tissue may increase iron levels and reactive oxygen species. The
relationship between oxidative damage and the traumatic brain injury is well known, for that reason, diminishing
factors that potentiate the production of reactive oxygen species have a promissory therapeutic use. Iron chelators
are molecules capable of scavenging the oxidative damage from the brain tissue and are currently in use for ironoverload-
derived diseases.

:

Here, we show an updated overview of the underlying mechanisms of the oxidative damage after traumatic brain
injury. Later, we introduced the potential use of iron chelators as neuroprotective compounds for traumatic brain
injury, highlighting the action mechanisms of iron chelators and their current clinical applications.
An Experimental Study on Dynamic Model Groove Under Shock Excitation
Authors: Yang Changmin , Hou Tongfei , Cui Bing , Lou Jiaqi
Published: January 2020

Introduction:

Variation laws of dynamic response and settlement deformation at different depths of soil roadbed were investigated and summarized in this study through a simulation test with a dynamic model groove in soft clay foundation of low road embankment.

Materials and Methods:

In this test, the traffic load was simulated by single-point and double-point shock excitation. Besides, loading frequency, intensity and duration were adjusted by a single variable control method. Research results show that peak values of soil pressure and pore water pressure decrease with the increase of buried depth, but they are unrelated to loading intensity and frequency.

Conclusion:

Nevertheless, settlement deformation does not increase linearly with the increase of frequency or time difference. The accumulative settlement at a depth varies as the loading time increases.
Curing Depth and Degree of Conversion of Five Bulk-Fill Composite Resins Compared to a Conventional Composite
Authors: Rezaei Samaneh , Abbasi Mehdi , Sadeghi Mahounak Farzaneh , Moradi Zohreh
Published: January 2020

Background:

Limited curing depth and its effect on the degree of conversion are among the challenges of working with light-cure composite resins. The use of bulk-fill composites is one strategy to overcome these limitations.

Methods:

Ever X Posterior (EXP), Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior (FBP), Sonic Fill 2 (SF2), Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill (TNB), and X-tra Fil (XF) bulk-fill and Filtek Z250 conventional composite were evaluated in this in vitro experimental study. Six samples for the assessment of microhardness and three samples for the evaluation of DC were fabricated of each composite. After light curing and polishing, the samples were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Microhardness was measured by a Vickers hardness tester three times and the mean value was calculated. DC of the top and bottom surfaces was determined using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test.

Results:

Microhardness and DC were significantly different among the groups (P<0.001). XF and Z250 equally showed the highest bottom-to-top surface microhardness ratio (0.97 ± 0.01) and significantly higher DC in the top (P<0.001) and bottom (P<0.005) surfaces compared to other groups. TNB showed the lowest microhardness ratio (0.88 ± 0.04) and DC (68.66 ± 1.52 and 61.00 ± 2.00); the difference in DC of the bottom surface was statistically significant (P<0.003).

Conclusion:

It appears that bulk-fill composites evaluated in this study are adequately polymerized at 4 mm depth. Their DC was optimal and within the range of conventional composites.
Staff Members’ Experience of Providing Parental Support in a National Burn Centre
Authors: Lernevall L.S.T. , Moi A.L. , Gjengedal E. , Dreyer P.
Published: January 2020

Background

Paediatric burn injuries affect not only the child but the whole family, especially the parents. Knowledge of how parents are affected psychologically has increased, but there is an ongoing dearth of literature on parental support while hospitalised. There is also very little documentation of the ways in which burn staff members support parents.

Objectives

To explore staff members’ lived experiences of supporting parents with children hospitalised at a burn centre due to a burn injury.

Methods

Four focus group interviews were conducted in 2017 with a total of 21 staff members at the National Burn Centre in Norway. Seven different burn staff professions participated. Data were analysed using a Ricoeur-inspired method for text analysis and managed using NVivo 12Plus.

Results

Four themes were identified in the treatment trajectory: creating a safe, secure and trusting environment from the moment parents enter the burn centre; helping parents deal with feelings of guilt; helping parents navigate in their daily routines while continuing to be a mother or father; and gradually involving parents in wound treatment as preparation for discharge.

Conclusion

Staff must carefully consider their verbal and non-verbal (body) language and how to approach parents from the very moment they enter the burn ward. Most parents are affected by feelings of guilt and these feelings must be addressed and processed. During the treatment trajectory, parents are guided to participate in the daily care of their child and are gradually assisted in taking over the wound treatment prior to discharge.

Authors: Hai Dinh Tuan , Van Tam Nguyen
Published: January 2020

Background:

In the rapidly-developed construction industry, labor productivity has improved to a great extent, still, it is low compared with many other industries. The enhancement of labor productivity has become important that attracts much attention and focus from researchers in Vietnam and around the world.

Aim:

This paper focuses on key factors affecting labor productivity of construction sites in Vietnam by introducing a regression model to evaluate the extent of each factor’s impact on the labor productivity of construction workers.

Methods:

Ten groups of impacting factors were identified as factors relevant to construction worker, factors relevant to site operation and management, factors relevant to motivation, factors relevant to working time, factors relevant to labor working tools, factors relevant to labor working conditions, factors relevant to working safety, factors relevant to project informations, factors relevant to natural environment, and factors relevant to socio-economic conditions.

Results:

By referring to research results, Vietnamese construction contractors will be able to come up with workable solutions towards a better performance of construction workers.

Conclusion:

On that basis, the productivity of construction firms and the workers will be improved correspondingly.
L’esprit Gallimard: Stratégies médiatiques et dispositifs éditoriaux de Détective, Voilà et Marianne (1928–40)/The Spirit of Gallimard: Media Strategies and Publishing Plans in Détective, Voilà, and Marianne (1928–40)
Authors: Thérenty Marie-Ève
Published: January 2020

Cet article s’intéresse à l’association entre 1928 et 1940 de la prestigieuse maison d’édition Gallimard et de trois hebdomadaires créés par Gallimard: Détective, un magazine orienté autour des faits divers; Voilà, un périodique centré autour du grand reportage; et Marianne, un journal politique. Grâce à des documents d’archives, l’article prouve que, malgré les déclarations publiques et malgré la différence des contenus rédactionnels, il faut considérer l’ensemble comme un système entièrement organisé autour des écrivains Gallimard et de leur production. L’article fait même l’hypothèse que l’association généralisée entre hebdomadaires et maisons d’éditions, notamment le nexus Gallimard, a permis de trouver un débouché éditorial hybrides à la frontière entre journalisme et littérature et de les légitimer.

This article focuses on the association between 1928 and 1940 of the prestigious publishing house Gallimard and three weeklies launched by Gallimard: Détective, a magazine focusing on crimes; Voilà, a periodical centred on major reports; and Marianne, a political newspaper. Thanks to archival documents, the article shows that, despite public statements and differences in editorial content, this group of periodicals is to be considered as a system entirely organized around Gallimard writers and their production.The article even suggests that the widespread association between weeklies and publishing houses, particularly the Gallimard nexus, has made it possible to find editorial outlets for een journalism and literature and to legitimize them.
Expanding Transnational Networks: The Impact of Internal Conflict on the Feminist Press in Dokumente der Frauen (1899–1902) and Neues Frauenleben (1902–17)
Authors: D'Eer Charlotte
Published: January 2020

This article examines the interpersonal tensions between co-editors Auguste Fickert (1855–1910) and Marie Lang (1858–1934) to show how internal editorial conflict can stimulate transnational editorial relations. By placing the disagreement within the larger context of the international women’s movement at the turn of the century, I argue that Fickert’s vision on women’s organizations differed from Lang’s: Fickert fostered the transnational role of the periodical press, whereas Lang invested in a local approach. Although conflict has been considered a constitutive aspect of the periodical press, it has not been examined before in light of German feminist periodicals, such as Dokumente der Frauen (1899–1902), which Fickert co-edited for some time with Lang and Rosa Mayreder (1858–1938) and Neues Frauenleben (1902–17), of which she was the sole editor from 1902 to 1910. This article traces Fickert’s transnational collaborations. More specifically, it takes her connection to Finnish-born female editor Maikki Friberg (1861–1927) as a case in point to demonstrate how her personal and professional relationship with Friberg resonates through the pages of Dokumente and increasingly so, Neues Frauenleben. I will show how Fickert’s new periodical, Neues Frauenleben, benefited from her collaboration with Friberg especially, and resulted in a myriad of transnational connections that were mainly — but not only — Nordic. By taking the periodical as a locus of personal and professional conflict and collaboration, this article thus shed light on an under-researched link between female editorship and transnationality.

Published: January 2020

En los ecosistemas acuáticos se producen alteraciones cuando de forma continua están expuestos al N-(fosfonometil) glicina (glifosato), especies susceptibles a un determinado grado de concentración y tiempo de exposición a este compuesto químico. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar la concentración letal media (CL50(24)) en Artemia franciscana, así como la concentración inhibitoria media poblacional (CI50) y el coeficiente de forma (CF) en la cianobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa en ecosistemas acuáticos. Los resultados para A. franciscana fueron de una CL50(24) 0.31 mg L-1; y sobre M. aeruginosa de una CI50(72) 53.95 mg L-1. En cuanto al estudio del coeficiente de forma, en las células control de M. aeruginosa resultó en un CF≈1, mientras que expuestas a 72h-NOEC (Concentración sin Efecto Observable) fue de 2.95 mg L-1. La CI50(72) fue de 53.95 mg L-1 indicando que las células se mantienen esféricas, sin embargo, hay cambios significativos en su volumen y superficie celular en la CI50(72) de 7.69 ± 1.69 µm3 con un 33% en reducción de volumen comparada con la célula control, lo que refleja los peligros ecotoxicológicos de este herbicida. La exposición al glifosato resultó de categoría I (altamente tóxica) en A. franciscana y categoría II (tóxica) en M. aeruginosa, de acuerdo con la clasificación de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos (U.S. EPA).

Authors: Olicón-Hernández Dario Rafael , Acosta-Sánchez Álvaro , Monterrubio-López Ricardo , Guerra-Sánchez Guadalupe
Published: January 2020

El quitosano es una materia prima extremadamente versátil para la producción de fibras y biomateriales. Como antifúngico, posee un mecanismo de acción relacionado con interacciones electrostáticas de las membranas celulares, siendo efectivo contra diversos hongos. Por otro lado, el mucílago de nopal (Opuntia) es una matriz polimérica con aplicaciones interesantes en el campo agrícola y alimentario como componente estructural de geles o suplemento dietético. En este trabajo se diseñó una película comestible basada en quitosano (antifúngico) y mucílago de nopal (estructurante) como una alternativa para la defensa de los cultivos contra las infecciones por hongos. Se realizaron diversas pruebas de homogeneidad y resistencia variando la concentración de quitosano, glicerol y mucílago para seleccionar la mejor composición para la película. Posteriormente se realizaron estudios estructurales y reológicos como elementos para la caracterización de la formulación elegida. Finalmente, se hicieron pruebas in vitro e in situ para evaluar el potencial antifúngico en la protección de frutos de interés. Con base en la caracterización cualitativa y fisicoquímica se determinó que la película con integridad homogénea en su estructura se obtuvo a concentraciones de 3% de glicerol, 2% de quitosano y 20% de mucílago de nopal. La película resultante tuvo una superficie homogénea, flexible, luminosa, ligeramente oscura y con viscosidad acumulativa, lo que significa que la viscosidad total es la suma de las viscosidades de cada componente. La película demostró un fuerte efecto antifúngico contra Rhizopus stolonifer en condiciones in vitro e in situ y aumentó la vida útil de los frutos probados. Los resultados mostraron el potencial del uso de esta película ecológica para la protección de frutas de interés, lo que la convierte en un producto polimérico atractivo para su aplicación en el campo

Published: January 2020

Las Dalias (Dahlia spp.) son flores nativas de Mesoamérica y endémicas de México. Su consumo como alimento es una práctica antigua, en la actualidad es escasa la información y reglamentación sanitaria para su comercialización y consumo. Al respecto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar morfológica, bioquímica y molecularmente, bacterias de origen entérico asociadas con flores de Dalia. Los resultados de la caracterización morfológica revelaron la predominancia de bacilos cortos Gram negativos. A partir de la observación de la morfología colonial en medios de cultivo selectivos y diferenciales se identificaron como Escherichia coli y Salmonella spp. Sin embargo, el uso de un método comercial automatizado los clasifica como Enterobacter cancerogenus. Debido a que ambas pruebas arrojaron resultados distintos en cuanto a la identidad del microorganismo aislado, no fueron concluyentes. Por lo tanto, se recurrió a la caracterización molecular para la identificación del aislado bacteriano. La bacteria predominante en flores de Dalia, correspondió a Pantoea vagans (Número de acceso CP002206). Éste es el primer reporte de Pantoea vagans aislada de flores de Dalia.

Con el objetivo de identificar las propiedades químicas y los antioxidantes de interés en la industria de los biopolímeros se realizó la caracterización química del jugo de cuatro variantes de cladodios de Opuntia megacantha; las variantes presentan dos grados de madurez (tiernos y maduros) y dos manejos diferentes durante su desarrollo (silvestres y cultivados). El grado de madurez de los cladodios fue estadísticamente significativo (p ≤ 0.05), el jugo de los cladodios maduros presentó mayor cantidad de fibra cruda y material libre de nitrógeno, el jugo de cladodios tiernos contiene mayor cantidad de proteína, extracto etéreo y cenizas. No existió diferencia estadística significativa (p = 0.6917), en el contenido de los fenoles en las cuatro variantes se obtuvieron concentraciones entre 165.6 y 176.6 mg GAE/mL; (2.18 y 3.61 mg GAE/g en peso seco). Los jugos de los cladodios maduros contienen mayor cantidad de los diferentes azúcares cuantificados (p ≤ 0.05). Se prepararon películas de biopolímero utilizando jugo clarificado de cladodios silvestres tiernos para determinar su resistencia a la tensión con un resultado de 1.42 MPa, módulo de Young de 1.77 MPa y elongación a la rotura de 124.16%; se concluye que los jugos caracterizados en este trabajo pueden ofrecer una alternativa viable a los polímeros derivados del petróleo.
Stem Cell Therapy- An Overview
Authors: Jagiri Aishwarya Goud , Gotte Priyanka , Singireddy Swetha , Kadarla Rohith Kumar
Published: January 2020

Stem cells are defined as cells that have clonogenic and self-renewing capabilities and differentiate into multiple cell lineages. Stem cells are found in all of us, from the early stages of human development to the end of life. According to differentiation potential stem cells are divided into 5 types: totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent and unipotent. They are vital to the development, growth, maintenance, and repair of our brains, bones, muscles, nerves, blood, skin, and other organs. Stem cell therapy is emerging as a potentially revolution­ ary new way to treat disease and injury, with wide-ranging medical benefits. Stem cell research presents many ethical and scientific questions as well as future challenges. Stem cell therapy, a prologue to an era of medical discovery of cell-based therapies that will one day restore function to those whose lives are now challenged every day, is still at the beginning of the road. . Stem cells have great potential in tissue regeneration and repair but much still needs to be learned about their biology, manipulation and safety before their full therapeutic potential can be achieved.

Isolasi dan Seleksi Bakteri Proteolitik Asal Limbah Cair Tahu Sebagai Dasar Penentuan Agen Pembuatan Biofertilizer
Authors: Asril Muhammad , Leksikowati Sovia Santi
Published: January 2020

Liquid tofu waste has the effect of damaging the environment if treated poorly. The waste contains a reasonably high protein so that it can be used as a substrate for isolation of proteolytic bacteria. Proteases produced by proteolytic bacteria can hydrolyze proteins in liquid tofu waste. The results of protein hydrolysis are amino acids in the form of nitrogen. The nitrogen can be used by plants for nutritional growth so that bioconversion products from proteolytic bacteria can be used as biofertilizers. The purpose of this study was to isolate and select potential proteolytic isolates from tofu liquid waste, which could be used as biofertilizer agents. The method used was bacterial isolation, proteolytic activity test, potato decay test, hemolysis test, and antagonism test among isolates. The results showed that there were two potential isolates from 28 isolates that had been successfully isolated, namely BLT-12 and BLT 21 with each Proteolytic Index of 3.20 and 3.16, respectively. The two isolates were gram-positive in the form of basil, did not have hemolysis activity, could not decompose potatoes so that they did not have a pathogenic effect on the test plants and did not have antagonistic properties between the two others. Therefore, BLT 12 and BLT 21 isolates can be used as candidates for potential isolates of biofertilizer agents.

Published: January 2020

It is important  to treat periodontitis  before involvement  of furcation areas because of their complex anatomy and difficulty of access. Literature confirms  that it is difficult  to accurately  determine  the relationship  of the amount  of bone loss in the interdental  areas associated  with the interradicular areas and correlate  them with the clinical periodontal  status. The aim of this study was therefore  to assess the existence  of such an association,  if any, in subjects  with  chronic  periodontitis.  The  threshold  of  alveolar  bone  loss  associated  with  progression  of  periodontal  destruction  and  involvement  of interradicular   areas  of  the  furcations  is  not  clearly  defined  in  the  literature.  The  aim  of  this  study  was  to  investigate  a  correlation,  if  any  between interdental  and interradicular  bone loss and clinical parameters  in patients  with chronic periodontitis.  Periapical  (IOPA) radiographs  of mandibular  molars were obtained from 193 sites in 33 males and 21 females between the age group of 25 and 55 years having chronic periodontitis.  These were then scanned and digital measurement  of linear distances  was performed  using dicom software  of height and width of defect (horizontal  and vertical),  bone defect angle and interradicular  bone  loss.  These  measurements  were  correlated  to pocket  depth  (PD)  and  clinical  attachment  loss  (CAL)  using  One-way  ANOVA followed  by Tukeys  HSD post hoc tests. Bone height significantly  correlated  with probing  depth and CAL in horizontal  defects  (p<0.005)  with hardly any furcation  involvement  (1.55%)whereas both bone height and width showed significant  correlation  with probing depth and CAL in vertical defects(P<0.001) with nearly 77% of sites showing  furcation  defects.  A strong correlation  of clinical  parameters  with bone defect  dimensions  suggests  that early diagnosis and management  of interdental  bone loss may be critical to prevent furcation involvement.

The present study aims at analyzing the prescribing patterns of antimicrobial agents in different liver diseases and to identify the drug-drug interactions among the prescribed drugs. A cross sectional observational study was conducted from February to July 2018. A total of 120 cases of patients receiving antimicrobials having different types of liver diseases were included. Statistical analysis shows that 80% of the popuation were male and 64% of the population was above the age of 50 years. . Liver disease like Liver Cirrhosis, Non alcoholic steato hepatitis, Viral hepatits, Jaundice, Hepatocellular carcinoma was found to be present  among the study population,  50% of the  population  was overweight  and 32% were  alcoholic. Majority of them had ascites, abdominal distention and pedal edema as chief complaints and complications were hepatic encephalopathy and esophageal varices. The prescribed antimicrobial agents were antibiotics (95%) viz., Piptaz, rifaximin and taxim. antivirals (4%) such as entecavir and antifungals (1%) likeflucanazole. The drugs were prescribed according to the guidelines of the hospital. Mostly broad spectrum antibiotics were used in the management of liver disorders like Linezolid, Meropenem, Ertapenem, and Tobramycin. In severe cases combination of antimicrobials were given for effective therapy. Patient’s transplantation  was based on the MELD score, as the MELD score increases, the mortality rate also increases. MELD score =40 indicates mortality rate is >70%.

Em uma análise sociofilosófica, o ato da mediação, como “terceiro elemento” entre os mundos artísticos propostos por Howard Becker, é pensado dentro do contexto da Escola Floresta como processo fenomenológico que participa do desenvolvimento de uma relação entre público e obra. A partir da obra Unidade Tripartida de Max Bill, propomos o ato da mediação como perichoresis, e deste modo, uma dança em três movimentos: contato, experimentação e resposta. Consideramos em cada movimento, respectivamente, a hermenêutica de Hans-Georg Gadamer, a ética de Benedictus de Espinoza e o dialogismo de Mikhail Bakhtin.

Published: January 2020

Kerang adalah jenis moluska yang hidup di substrat beberapa ekosistem perairan. Kerang merupakan komponen penting yang berperan sebagai pemakan sisa organik yang berada di perairan (deposit feeder) dan pemakan suspensi (suspension feeder) dalam rantai makanan. Beberapa spesies kerang juga dapat berperan dalam mengakumulasi (bioakumulator) logam berat. Di Taman Nasional Baluran, Jawa Timur, Indonesia, kerang sering digunakan oleh masyarakat setempat sebagai bahan dasar makanan dan cangkangnya dijual sebagai dekorasi kamar, perhiasan, dan peralatan rumah tangga. Akibat terjadinya eksploitasi terhadap kerang secara berlebihan, telah diduga bahwa kepadatan populasi dan keanekaragaman spesies kerang telah menurun. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Oktober 2019 di Pantai Bilik di Taman Nasional Baluran untuk menentukan komposisi spesies dan preferensi habitat spesies kerang. Pengambilan sampel acak digunakan untuk mengukur komposisi spesies kerang di daerah penelitian. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat adanya 6 ordo, 8 famili, 11 genera, dan 14 spesies. Nilai keanekaragaman spesies yang dihitung menggunakan indeks keanekaragaman jenis (H'). Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan telah ditemukan 2,109, yang menunjukkan keanekaragaman spesies tingkat sedang. Analisis kemerataan spesies menunjukkan nilai sebesar 0,79, yang berarti kemerataan spesies rendah. Habitat kerang di Pantai Bilik  lebih terfokus pada bongkahan karang mati yang ditumbuhi alga. Moluska sering ditemukan bersama dengan karang dari keluarga Faviidae, terutama yang berasal dari genus Porites.

Quantitative lexical classifiers: A taxonomy proposal
Authors: Sipka Danko
Published: January 2020

The present paper proposes a taxonomy of Serbo-Croatian quantitative lexical
classifi ers (words like sheet, as in a sheet of paper or bag as in a bag of
potatoes). Based on the database of quantitative lexical classifiers
extracted from the six-volume Matica Srpska Dictionary and a survey of
native speakers, the author identifies the following binary oppositions:
dividing/uniting, internal/external, resultative/non-resultative,
quantitative/non-quantitative, countable/uncountable, shaping/non-shaping,
categorizing/non-categorizing, and metaphorical/non-metaphorical. The top
tier of the taxonomy is based on the opposition between dividing and
uniting, its second level on the opposition between internal and external
divisors and unifiers. All other oppositions are deployed at the third
level of taxonomy. The taxonomy is intended as a contribution to further
exploring Serbo-Croatian quantitative lexical classifiers and concurrently
as a tool of their more efficient lexicographic and second language
acquisition treatment.
The imperative in the vernacular of the Sirinic Zupa in the north Sar Mountains
Authors: Veljovic Bojana , Mladenovic Radivoje
Published: January 2020

This paper analyzes the use of the imperative in the vernacular of the
Sirinic Zupa in the north Sar Mountains. The corpus of this dialect
indicates that the imperative functions as a syntactic unit with a broad
syntactic and semantic range. Syntactic, semantic and stylistic features of
the imperative are determined on the basis of its primary modal meaning, but
also on the basis of its secondary meaning when it refers to single or
habitual actions in the past, which are typically repetitive. It turned out
that the imperative is stable in all three functional domains of the same
vernacular and that it is not suppressed by isofunctional units, i.e. those
with similar syntactic or semantic features. Finally, it was found that the
imperative has an expressive value when it undergoes temporal transposition,
which makes it a stylogenic unit.
