Assessment of Groundwater-Level Susceptibility to Degradation Based on Analytical Network Process (ANP)
Authors: Khorrami Behnam , Valizadeh Kamran Khalil , Roostaei Shahram
Published: November 2018

Groundwater resources are among the world’s most
important and vital supplies which are highly required for continuation of
human life as well as wildlife. The growth of world’s population and the
occurrence of climatic drought in recent decades have put a severe strain on
these blessings all over the world so that most of the aquifers have dried up
and the depth to groundwater in wells has deepened severely. In the present
study the Analytic Network Process was used to extract degradation risk zones
of groundwater in Marand Plain. To do this, all the effective factors including
precipitation, air temperature, land use, soil permeability, flow direction,
proximity to rivers and groundwater exploitation via wells and qanats were
used. After construction of the database in GIS environment, the structure of
the network was designed in Super Decision software. Clustering and pair-wise
comparisons of the elements were executed based on the results of the Expert
Knowledge questionnaire and the priority weights for each cluster and parameter
was extracted consequently. Finally, the priority weights of the criteria were
applied on the map layers and the final degradation risk map created overlaying
all the maps. According the final output of the study, the Eastern and Western
parts of Marand Plain have the highest and lowest susceptibilities
respectively. It’s also found that the groundwater decline trend mimics the
surface topography and flow direction in which has an East-West pattern.
Anthropogenically-induced ecological risks in Lake Erikli, NW Turkey
Authors: Uludağ Musa , Kükrer Serkan , Erginal Gülsen
Published: November 2018

This study examined
the vertical distribution of heavy metals in the core sediments of Lake Erikli,
Turkey and their potential ecological risks. Two core samples 48 and 34 cm in
length were taken with a Kajak gravity core sampler. The samples were divided
into 2 cm sub-samples in the laboratory and analyzed using ICP-MS. The
enrichment factor (EF), potential ecological risk factor (PERI) and pollution
load index (PLI) were calculated to evaluate the environmental quality of the sediment.
According to the results, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, and Cr come from natural sources in
both cores and there is no anthropogenic contribution to the distribution of
these elements, while some anthropogenic effects were detected for As, Cd and
Hg. According to the calculated risk index (CRI) for each metal, the potential
risk of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, As and Cr is low. Two metals posing a threat to the
ecosystem were identified; Cd and Hg. PLI values significantly increased from
the bottom of the slice to the surface in accordance with the EF and PERI
values. Continuation of the pumping of domestic waste into Lake Erikli will
accelerate the process of deterioration.
Spatial Variation of Ground water Quality Parameters and its Suitability for Drinking at Makutopora Aquifer, Dodoma Municipality, Tanzania.
Authors: Kisaka Mary
Published: November 2018

A
study was conducted to benchmark the ground water quality parameters and its
spatial variation from Makutopora boreholes which are found 32 km from Dodoma
town. A total of 90 samples (from both deep and shallow wells)
were collected and analyzed for various quality parameters. The analysis results were interpolated using
statistics and Inverse Distance Weighting tool in a Geographical Information
System (GIS) environment to determine their spatial variation. The results indicated that all samples were within the permissible Tanzanian standards, except for two unused production boreholes which showed
higher levels of total hardness,
Electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids. However, gross pollution
was found in community shallow wells of Chihanga and Veyula that showed high levels of nitrate (78-82 mg/l), Manganese (1.05
mg/l), low pH (5.98)
and E. coli. (52/100 ml). It is quite clear from this study that the ground
water supplied to Dodoma is still meeting the set drinking water standards in
Tanzania although aquifer deterioration was noticed which demands an urgent
innovative ground water management. The results
obtained in this study will therefore be helpful for future monitoring and
sustainable ground water quality management in the Makutopora sub basin.
Natural and anthropogenic threats to the cultural tourism potential of Kıyıköy, Kırklareli, Turkey
Authors: Erginal Gülsen , Uludağ Musa
Published: November 2018

This
paper discusses the cultural tourism potential of Kıyıköy and the natural
and anthropogenic threats to extant cultural tourism values such as the Kıyıköy
castle walls, Aya Nicholas Monastery and historical Kıyıköy houses. For this coastal town where such different
cultural heritage elements are found together, cultural tourism offers an
important alternative opportunity. On the other hand, recent deterioration in the
structures is significant, especially due to ongoing human interventions. The
loss of architectural elements, vegetation cover and pollution as well as writing
on the walls and other damage by human impacts at the Aya Nicholas monastery
have almost eliminated the original texture of the structures. Although similar
examples are found in very few places in Turkey, the historic Kıyıköy houses are the most important
civil architecture assets of the town but have been exposed to intense
destruction and misuse. Protection and restoration work should immediately be
initiated in line with the Tourism Strategy of Turkey-2023.
A case study on the comparison of terrestrial methods and unmanned aerial vehicle technique in landslide surveys: Sarıcaeli landslide, Çanakkale, NW Turkey
Authors: Erenoglu R. Cuneyt , Erenoglu Oya
Published: November 2018

Landslides are
natural disasters with some effects in the natural environment of the Earth. A
landslide has a structure that changes the natural topography boundaries by
releasing the forest cover and vegetation. Heavy precipitation and seismic
activities, as well as the mass movement that can be caused by landslides,
trigger the possible tendency to move the soil. The formation of the current
Digital Elevation model (DEM) of the area subject to landslides is important in
terms of determining the direction, character and effects of the landslide. With
the help of aerial photographs obtained by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the
production of high resolution and accurate DEMs is becoming increasingly
widespread. In this study, production and analysis of DEMs obtained from
different dated flight data and reflecting the topography of an active
landslide area were performed. Finally, it was compared with RTK-GNSS
measurement results in landslide areas. According to the results obtained in
the study, the production of DEM based on UAV provides higher accuracy at
centimeter level. In addition, the method used is more efficient, faster and lower
cost than other terrestrial techniques.

Published: November 2018

Etnis Minangkabau dan etnis Tionghoa dikenal sebagai etnis yang mempunyai naluri bisnis yang tinggi. Meskipun sama-sama berjiwa bisnis, ada perbedaan cara berbisnis, etnis Minangkabau umunya berbisnis dalam skala kecil dan jangkauan terbatas. Sementara etnis Tionghoa dengan sistem kongsi berbisnis dalam skala besar dan mempunyai jaringan internasional. Namun, itu hanyalah salah satu permasalahan yang diangkat dalam buku ini. Buku karya Erniwati ini awalnya sebuah tesis S2-nya di Universitas Gajah Mada, lebih berusaha mengungkap kehidupan etnis Tionghoa di SUmatera Barat antar pertengahan abad ke-19 sampai awal abad ke-20. Etnis Minangkabau mempunyai sistem sosial yang berbeda dengan etnis lain pada umunya. Bila pada umumnya bersifat patrilineal, di Minangkabau bersifat matrilineal. Di tengah sistem yang berbeda inilah etnis Tionghoa berhasil masuk ke dalam masyarakat Minangkabau.

Masa silam tenunan songket dipakai oleh perempuan Minangkabau dalam upacara adat. Salah seorang perempuan Minangkabau yang memakai songket adalah Bundokanduang, untuk baju kurung, selendang dan sarung. Motif tenunan yang dipakai masa silam adalah: sirangkat, pucuak rabuang, saik kalamai, cukia baserak, saik ajik, biku-biku, siriah gadang, catua biteh, itiak pulang patang, da mudiak, balah kacang, salapah basauak, batang pinang, biku-biku, balah katupek, palo bapatah,dan tampuak manggih.Berkembangkannya aktifitas perempuan Minangkabau di sektor publik menuntut mereka untuk memanfaat waktu dengan efektif dan efesien. Begitu juga dalam pemilihan pakaian dilakukan berdasarkan kepantasan serta efektif dan efesien untuk dapat menuntup aurat. Masa silam perempuan apabila mengunjunggi mertua atau menghadiri upacara adat memakai tenun songket. Dewasa ini sebagain perempuan Minangkabau memilih pakaian dengan pertimbangan efektif dan efesien serta sesuai dengan tuntutan pekerjaan yang sedang dijalaninya.Perubahan peran perempuan Minangkabau dalam masyarakat, menyebabkan pemilihan mode dan bahan pakaian yang dipilih dengan pertimbangan terjangkau, mengikuti zaman dan dapat menutup aurat. Tidak jarang perempuan Minangkabau dewasa ini mengikuti mode pakaian yang sedang trend di pasaran, walaupun kadang-kadang mereka memadukan dengan jilbab sebagai ciri khas perempuan muslim. Penggunaan songket bagi masyarakat Minangkabau sudah mulai meluas untuk kepentingan hotel dalam interior, begitu juga perusahaan rekaman lagu-lagu Minangkabau dalam memasarkan produk kaset/CD/VCD, menggunakan tenunan songket baik untuk keperluan rekaman maupun hiasan sampul. Selanjutnya tenunan songket tidak jarang ditemukan dipakai perempuan Minangkabau dalam penyambutan tamu pemerintah, dan keperluan pelayan hotel serta pertunjukan tari tradisional untuk menunjukan identitas etnik Minangkabau. Motif yang diproduksi oleh pengrajin dewasa ini sebagian sudah tidak dikenal lagi, karena perkembang ilmu pengetahuan, kontak budaya serta kebutuhan pasar.

Poor quality sleep is related to mental health and there is increasing interest in student wellbeing and mental health. The aim of the current study was to evaluate sleep quality, daytime dozing, anxiety proneness, chronotype and preferred start time in a sample of university students. A total of 546 university students (age range, 18-55) from two university located in South East England were included and completed an online survey. Participants’ self-reported age, gender, year and field of study. Sleep quality, anxiety, daytime dozing, coffee/caffeine/tobacco use (coded as binary variables), preferred start time and chronotype were also recorded. Data were analysed using independent samples t¬-tests, chi-square, simple mediation-analyses and Analysis of Variance. Across the entire sample 46% percent of participants rated their sleep as fairly bad or very bad. Poor quality sleep was associated with significantly higher levels of anxiety which was not mediated by chronotype. Poor quality sleep is more prevalent in the first year of university and our sample endorsed a start time for university activities approximately 2 hours later than currently timetabled. The current findings demonstrate that a large proportion of students are chronically sleep deprived, obtaining, on average, less than 7 hours sleep per night on week days and this was more marked in first year students. In addition, we show that poor sleep is associated with increased anxiety. Based on the current evidence the authors suggest a review of current university timetabling and examination scheduling merits immediate consideration by policy makers and educators.
Synchronization of walking “in the wild”
Authors: Chambers Claire , Kording Konrad , Kong Gaiqing , Wei Kunlin
Published: November 2018

Marker-less video-based tracking promises to allow us to do movement science on existing video databases. We revisited the old question of how people synchronize their walking using real world data. We thus applied pose estimation to 348 video segments extracted from YouTube videos of people walking in cities. As in previous, more constrained, research, we find a tendency for pairs of people to walk in phase or in anti-phase with each other. Large video databases, along with pose-tracking algorithms, promise answers to many movement questions without experimentally acquiring new data.
Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling with Moderating Effects on SEM Parameters
Authors: Jak Suzanne , Cheung Mike W.-L.
Published: November 2018

Meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) is an increasingly popular meta-analytic technique that combines the strengths of meta-analysis and structural equation modeling. MASEM facilitates the evaluation of complete theoretical models (e.g., path models or factor analytic models), accounts for sampling covariance between effect sizes, and provides measures of overall fit of the hypothesized model on meta-analytic data. We propose a novel MASEM method, One-Stage MASEM, which is better suitable to explain study-level heterogeneity than existing methods. One-Stage MASEM allows researchers to incorporate continuous or categorical moderators into the MASEM, in which any parameter in the structural equation model (e.g., path coefficients and factor loadings) can be modeled by the moderator variable, while the method does not require complete data for the primary studies included in the meta-analysis. We illustrate the new method on two real datasets, evaluate its empirical performance via a computer simulation study, and provide user-friendly R-functions and annotated syntax to assist researchers in applying One-Stage MASEM. We close the paper by presenting several future research directions.
Two factors but one dimension: An alternative view at the structure of mood and emotion
Authors: Noel Yvonnick , Fevrier Florence , Deflandre Anne
Published: November 2018

This paper argues that the two factors of valence and activation, commonly recovered from factor studies on emotion and mood inventories, are best represented within a single nonlinear model, than as two independent factors. Arguments are provided that, as valence goes from positive to negative value, activation increases then decreases, thus displaying a inverse-U shaped relationship. This model appears in good agreement with classical and well-established models of emotion and stress management (Lazarus (1999), Seligman (1972), Selye (1956)), while providing a more synthetic and integrated view. Psychometric arguments are given about why such a structure results in two factors using principal component analysis. The same arguments also explain why circular patterns of variables and person points commonly emerge in these analyses, and why they should be regarded as statistical artifacts. The new model has important consequences on the way emotional states should be measured and a practical assessment procedure is detailed.
Politics, lies and video tapes: Non verbal cues and signals in the age of 'fake news'
Authors: Stewart Patrick A. , Senior Carl
Published: November 2018

With our current preoccupation with ‘fake news’ it is perhaps time to consider how such (mis) information spreads and whether “fake news” is false, misleading, or merely uncomfortable. Ironically, these political narratives are often disseminated by the political figures themselves – who then complain about the veracity of media coverage when it does not match their message. This situation is captured by the, perhaps unduly, pessimistic old joke “How can you tell a politician is lying? His lips are moving” which underscores a fundamental concern for scholars who study the political world: how does one judge when a political figure is being truthful ?
Call Your Leader: Does the Mobile Phone Affect Policymaking?
Authors: Rezki Jahen Fachrul
Published: November 2018

This paper analyses the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on policymaking on an Indonesian Village level. In this study, I use data from different waves of the Indonesian Village Potential Statistics (Potensi Desa) to determine whether mobile phone signal strength affects village policies and civic engagement activities. The results indicate that villages with a strong signal are statistically more likely to possess the proper infrastructure and economic programs. Furthermore, mobile phones increase civic engagement, which is consistent with previous studies related to collective action or mass mobilisation. Using the plausibly exogenous variation of lightning strike intensity as the instrumental variable, this study suggests that higher mobile phone signal strength is positively associated with the policies implemented by the village head. This study also demonstrates that ICT has a stronger effect in rural areas. One possible explanation is that mobile phones improve the relative ability for rural people to interact with their leaders. Another potential answer is the fact that there are significant differences between rural village and urban village governments, which could also affect policymaking.

The Shape of Things to Come and what to do about Tom and Mia. Interrogating the OECD’s International Early Learning Study from an anti-colonialist perspective
Authors: Urban Mathias
Published: November 2018

In this article, I discuss the International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study (IELS), which is currently being rolled out by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and De-velopment (OECD). I summarise the development of IELS and the critique that has been voiced by early childhood scholars, professionals and advocates. I then move to an aspect of IELS that has so far been absent from the discussion: the actual conduct of the test, using the two stylised child characters Tom and Mia. I provide a provisional reading of the Tom and Mia imaginary through the lens of post- and neo-colonial analysis. Applying the concept of colonisation as a frame of reference opens a space for introducing resistance and anti-colonial practices as productive forces to challenge the global hegemony. I draw on Pedro Sotolongo’s concept of the power of marginal notions to argue that experiences made on the margins of society, both geographically and socially, offer very practical alternatives to reconceptualising early childhood education, and services for young children, families and communities.
Metabolic Syndrome in Schizophrenia
Authors: Ghimire SR , Rai Y
Published: November 2018

Metabolic syndrome (MS), a constellation of interconnected metabolic disorders including obesity (central and abdominal), hyperglycemia, dyslipidemias and hypertension is highly prevalent among patients with schizophrenia. The prevalence of MS varies across countries and ethnic groups. There are multiple determinants of MS among patient with schizophrenia, important being age, sex, ethnic group, longer duration of illness, advanced age, and use of antipsychotics. Early detection and management of metabolic abnormalities could prevent associated premature morbidity and mortality in schizophrenia. Future research is needed to identify and explore genetic determinants of MS in schizophrenia which could help to prevent and manage the illness in better way.J Psychiatrists’ Association of Nepal Vol .6(1), 2017, p.3-11

Primarni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi najbolje koncentracije fitohormona i idealni medij zakorjenjivanja za reznice od stabljike vrste Ficus benjamina L. Konvencionalno, najčešća metoda vegetativnog razmnožavanja je zakorjenjivanja pupova u različitim supstratima kao što su perlit, treset, pijesak do izloženosti visoko koncentriranim hormonima zakorjenjivanja (IBA, IAA, NAA, itd.). Ali ta konvencionalna tehnika zahtijeva široka područja u fazi zakorjenjivanja masovne produkcije, sprječava nadzor tijeka zakorjenjivanja i traži visoku količinu materijala koji se koriste kao hormoni i mediji zakorjenjivanja. U ovom istraživanju, ispitana je nova metoda koja bi mogla biti poželjnijom u masovnoj proizvodnji biljaka. Izvršeno je 39 različitih tretiranja i prikazani su njihovi rezultati. Pijesak i perlit korišteni su kao kruti medij zakorjenjivanja. Pupovi su se trajno čuvali u hormonima niske koncentracije nakon rezanja (tekući medij). Na taj način je ispitana njihova sposobnost zakorjenjivanja. Ispitivanja zakorjenjivanja provedena su prije nego su pupovi odnijeti u kruti medij zakorjenjivanja. Kao zaključak, dobiveni su najviši omjeri zakorjenjivanja za 10 ppm NAA (94.43%) te 100 ppm IBA (93.9%) u tekućim medijima. Najveća duljina korijena i prosječna duljina korijena bile su prilično male u tekućim medijima.

U tri godine istraživanja (2012., 2014. i 2015.) praćene su fenološke karakteristike listanja poljskog jasena (Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl) u klonskoj sjemenskoj plantaži Nova Gradiška. Motrenjem su obuhvaćena 42 klona s četiri ramete po klonu (ukupno 168 biljaka) porijeklom iz triju populacija (Jasenovac, Novska i Stara Gradiška). Razvoj lista podijeljen je na šest fenofaza, međutim u radu je analizirana isključivo faza L2 (početak listanja). Prosječni broj dana od 1. siječnja do početka listanja iznosio je 98 dana u 2012. godini, 93 dana u 2014. godini i 103 dana tijekom 2015. godine. Prosječan broj dana koji je bio potreban za razvoj lista u 2012. godini iznosio je 27 dana, u 2014. godini 26 dana, dok je u 2015. godini bio 20 dana. Na osnovi fenoloških rezultata klonovi su podijeljeni na dvije ekotipske forme: ranu i kasnu. Prosječne vrijednosti broja dana s obzirom na početak listanja iznosile su od 90 do 101 dan za ranu ekotipsku formu te od 99 do 107 dana za kasnu. U radu je dokazana visoka povezanost između kumulativnih vrijednosti količine oborina (od 1. prosinca do nastupanja faze L2) i početka listanja. Istraživanjem je utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između svih istraživanih klonova, između klonova unutar populacija, kao i između istraživanih ekotipskih formi. Statistički značajna međupopulacijska varijabilnost nije utvrđena. Unutarklonska varijabilnost smanjivala se sa starošću sjemenske plantaže, što ukazuje na veću stabilnost i ujednačenost fenoloških karakteristika između rameta s povećanjem njihove starosti. Pripadnost klonova ekotipskim formama nije pratila njihovo geografsko porijeklo, čime je dodatno potvrđena značajna unutarpopulacijska varijabilnost poljskog jasena.
Raspodjela teških metala (Cd, Pb, Hg, As) i esencijalnih elemenata (Fe, Se) u šumskom tlu i biljnim zajednicama državnog otvorenog lovišta ˝Krndija II˝ XIV/23

Elements such as Pb, Cd, Hg, and As, are an integral part of the biosphere, they do not decompose but circulating in nature in different oxidation and chemical forms. Human activity increases the naturally occurring levels of these elements in the environment. Wild animals that live in natural ecosystems are particularly exposed to the various environmental factors. The environment is the main factor that determines health status and population of wildlife. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the concentration of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, As and Hg) and essential elements (Fe and Se) in the soil and plant communities of the forests (litter and ground flora) in habitat conditions for two years. In the state open hunting area ˝KRNDIJA II˝ XIV/23 was taken 14 samples of soil and samples of litter and ground flora from four areas of hunting grounds. We performed a chemical analysis of the soil and analysis of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg) and essential elements (Fe, Se) in samples of soil, litter and ground flora. It was found that the area of research is characterized by acid soils that are medium humus to humus, poor in potassium and phosphorus and medium provided with iron and deficient with selenium. The determined concentrations of heavy metals in soil were lower than the maximum permissible concentrations. Increased concentrations of cadmium and lower concentrations of iron and selenium from the desired concentration was determined in samples of litter and ground flora.

Sažetak
Popis štitastih uši na domaćinima iz roda Quercus L. sastavljen je od svih dostupnih literaturnih podataka faunističkih istraživanja štitastih uši u Hrvatskoj i podataka faunističkih istraživanja koja su trajala od 2005. do 2014. Prema literaturnim podacima u Hrvatskoj registrirano je 15 vrsta štitastih uši na hrastu. Istraživanjima je utvrđeno 12 vrsta štitastih uši, od kojih je u odnosu na vrste iz literaturnih podataka registrirano šest novih. U ovom trenutku popis štitastih uši na hrastovima obuhvaća 21 vrstu iz četiri porodice kako slijedi: porodica Asterolecanidae: Asterodiaspis ilicicola (Targioni Tozzetti 1888), A. quercicola (Bouche 1851), A. variolosa (Ratzeburg 1870), porodica Coccidae: Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus 1758, Eulecanium tiliae (Linnaeus 1758), Parthenolecanium rufulum Cockerell 1903, Pulvinaria sericea (Fourcroy 1785), porodica Diaspididae: Chionaspis etrusca Leonardi 1908, C. lepineyi Balachowsky 1928, C. salicis (Linnaeus 1758), Diaspidiotus alni (Marchal 1909), D. bavaricus (Lindinger 1912), D. ostreaeformis (Curtis 1843), D. zonatus (Frauenfeld 1868), Gonaspidiotus minimus (Leonardi in: Berlese & Leonardi 1896), Lepidosaphes beckii (Newman 1869), L. ulmi (Linnaeus 1758), Targionia vitis (Signoret 1876) i porodica Kermesidae: Kermes quercus (Linnaeus 1758), K. roboris (Fourcroy 1785) i K. vermilio Planchon 1864.
U srpnju 2014. godine, zamijećeno je propadanje hrasta crnike u Poreču. Nakon što je obavljen vizualni pregled, uzeti su uzorci. Dijagnostička analiza, koja je obavljena u Laboratoriju za zoologiju Zavoda za zaštitu bilja, pokazala je da se radi o štitastoj uši crnike K. vermilio. Budući da je ovo prvi nalaz K. vermilio u Hrvatskoj, vrstu možemo smatrati novim članom hrvatske entomofaune. Ova štitasta uš napada zimzelene domaćine iz roda Quercus, ponaj­prije Quercus ilex L. Široko je rasprostranjena u zemljama Mediteranskog bazena. U prošlosti, štitasta uš K. vermilio imala je značajnu gospodarsku važnost kao izvor crvene boje za tkaninu, no danas ima status invazivnog gospodarski značajnog štetnika.
The Physical Discourse of Fan Fiction
Authors: Zoriana Hodunok
Published: November 2018

The research of physical discourse, typical characters, stereotypical gender roles of fan fiction’s texts, based on “Harry Potter”, “Supernatural”, “The Song of Ice and Fire”/“The Game of Throne”, is realized in the article. The author uses Psycholinguistics (Frame Method and Free Associative Experiment), Hermeneutics, some elements of Comparative analysis to describe the main characteristics of the personages and explain peculiarities of their sexual interactions.

Fan fiction prose is a kind of virtual mass literature, so it has special features inherent to mass literature in general, for example, comfort reading, typical personages in typical dramatic plot, often – happy end etc.

The physical discourse is the most important part of fan fiction’s texts, because the experience of sexual interactions is desirable for a person and it is a base of human’s life. The frame “body” covers not only sex, but also love and security (for example, to be safe in one’s hands). The most frequent nouns of the frame are “hands/fingers” and “eyes/ gaze”. It is important to note that man’s hands and eyes often show his character. But woman’s eyes and hands realize her emotions and feelings. It depends on stereotypical gender roles of mass culture: man has a function to interact with the world, and woman has a function to safe life inside (to give birth), which is confirmed by the free associative experiment.

Physical damages (scars, injuries, deceases – for man; rapes – for woman) make the personages more emotionally close to a reader of fan fiction; show an act of initiation (transition from the fandom text to fan fiction text).
ПОРАЗКА ВАРШАВСЬКОГО ПОВСТАННЯ 1944 Р. ЯК ПРОЯВ ТА НАСЛІДОК ЕТНОНАЦІОНАЛЬНОГО ЧИННИКА НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ РАДЯНСЬКОГО КОМУНІСТИЧНОГО РЕЖИМУ
Authors: Володимир Лущай Ірина Батюк,
Published: November 2018

У статті розглядається проблема Варшавського повстання 1944 р. в контексті виявлення ключової причини її поразки. Воєнно-політичними передумовами повстання було потрапляння Польщі влітку 1944 р. у сферу політичного впливу Радянського Союзу внаслідок розгрому групи армій «Центр» радянською армією (РА), а також утворення 21 липня 1944 р. у Москві ПКНВ на противагу уряду в еміграції С. Миколайчика.  Аналіз воєнних передумов Варшавського повстання 1944 р., врахування очевидної переваги РА у силах і засобах, ситуації всередині німецького вищого військового командування після замаху на А. Гітлера в липні 1944 р. та становища німецьких військ на варшавському напрямку, наявності південних плацдармів на західному березі Вісли та кількадесят тисяч бійців Армії Крайової (АК) у Варшавській окрузі формують висновок, що на початку серпня РА була здатна у короткостроковій перспективі звільнити Варшаву. Проте в ніч на 1 серпня наступ РА було призупинено до 9 вересня, в чому ми вбачаємо політичну мотивацію Кремля через задуми про комуністичне майбутнє Польщі. Внаслідок відсутності допомоги з боку РА, неможливості дієвої допомоги з боку союзницьких сил через політику Кремля, значної переваги німецьких військ Варшавське повстання 1944 р. завершилося поразкою, яка стала одночасно проявом та наслідком етнонаціонального чинника національної політики радянського комуністичного режиму.
Dialogue de la littérature et la peinture dans Femmes d’Alger dans leur appartement d’Assia Djebar
Authors: Gubińska Maria
Published: November 2018

The paper presents the phenomenon of hybridity present in Assia Djebar’s writings based on the example of the collection of short stories entitled Femmes d’Alger dans leur appartement (Women of Algiers in Their Apartment). The title of the collection makes reference to famous paintings by Delacroix and Picasso but in doing so the author also supplements the Europocentric discourse with her own voice, the voice of a Francophone Algerian writer who, holding a dialogue with the painters, breaks with exoticism and the orientalising European approach. The dialogue with painting is accomplished on two levels; the first, diegetic and second, essayistic; in ‘The Overture’, and especially in ‘The Afterword’, which is not only a commentary to the painting works by Delacroix and Picasso, but also a complementation of the literary plot. The permanent link of Djebar’s writings to the dramatic present and the remembrance of the women deprived of their voice and subjected to reification is voiced powerfully in the work, which cannot be easily evaluated as it is very diverse in its references to other fields of art.
Réécrire Don Juan au XXe siècle : entre hybridité et intermédialité, nouveaux modes d’exploitation d’un mythe
Authors: Gournay Aurélia
Published: November 2018

The contemporary rewritings of Don Juan’s myth highlight several forms of hybridity and illustrate the stakes involved. The hybridation affects in the first place the sources of the myth since the authors appeal to numerous intertextual references. But the successive transpositions of the mythical scenario also lead to a generic hybridity. This intermediality has a reflexive dimension: it raises the question of the limits of language to talk about the myth and abolishes the frontier between fiction and critical speech.
Hybridité et voix auctoriale
Authors: Motard-Noar Martine
Published: November 2018

This article analyzes three hybrid narratives – Sylvie Gracia’s Le livre des visages (2012), Pascal Quignard’s Les ombres errantes (2002), and Hélène Cixous’s Hyperrêve (2006). Although their hybridity can be found at different levels, such as the generic level, or the lexical level, all three texts attempt to catch the Mother in their narrative subterfuges in order to bring her back to life (or in the case of Cixous, to keep her alive), in vain. In the process, the authorial voice is reinforced as the voice leading the reader through narrative transgressions.
