Published: September 2018

Professionals outside of the area of Computer Science have an increasing need to analyze large bodies of data. This analysis often demands high level of security and has to be done in the cloud. However, current data analysis tools that demand little proficiency in systems programming struggle to deliver solutions which are scalable and safe. In this context we present Lemonade, a platform which focuses on creating data analysis and mining flows in the cloud, with authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) guarantees. Lemonade provides an interface for the visual construction of flows, and encapsulates storage and data processing environment details, providing higher-level abstractions for data source access and algorithms. We illustrate its usage through a demo, where a data processing flow builds a classification model for detecting fake-news, also extracting some insights along the way.

Published: September 2018

Robust query optimization becomes illusory in the presence of correlated predicates or user-defined functions. Occasionally, the query optimizer will choose join orders whose execution time is by many orders of magnitude higher than necessary. We present SkinnerDB, a novel database management system that is designed from the ground up for reliable optimization and robust performance.

SkinnerDB implements several adaptive query processing strategies based on reinforcement learning. We divide the execution of a query into small time periods in which different join orders are executed. Thereby, we converge to optimal join orders with regret bounds, meaning that the expected difference between actual execution time and time for an optimal join order is bounded. To the best of our knowledge, our execution strategies are the first to provide comparable formal guarantees. SkinnerDB can be used as a layer on top of any existing database management system. We use optimizer hints to force existing systems to try out different join orders, carefully restricting execution time per join order and data batch via timeouts. We choose timeouts according to an iterative scheme that balances execution time over different timeouts to guarantee bounded regret. Alternatively, SkinnerDB can be used as a standalone, featuring an execution engine that is tailored to the requirements of join order learning. In particular, we use a specialized multi-way join algorithm and a concise tuple representation to facilitate fast switches between join orders. In our demonstration, we let participants experiment with different query types and databases. We visualize the learning process and compare against baselines.
iSPEED

Published: September 2018

The recent technological advancement in digital pathology has enabled 3D tissue-based investigation of human diseases at extremely high resolutions. Discovering and verifying spatial patterns among massive 3D micro-anatomic biological objects such as blood vessels and cells derived from 3D pathology image volumes plays a pivotal role in understanding diseases. However, the exponential increase of available 3D data and the complex structures of biological objects make it extremely difficult to support spatial queries due to high I/O, communication and computational cost for 3D spatial queries. In this demonstration, we present our scalable in-memory based spatial query system
iSPEED
for large-scale 3D data with complex structures. Low latency is managed by storing in memory with progressive compression including successive levels of detail on object level. On the other hand, low computational cost is achieved by pre-generation of global spatial indexes in memory and additional on-demand generation of indexing at run-time. Furthermore, iSPEED applies structural indexing on complex structured objects in multiple query types to gain performance advantage. During query processing, the memory footprint of iSPEED is minimal due to its indexing structure and progressive decompression on-demand. We demonstrate iSPEED query capability with three representative queries: 3D spatial joins, nearest neighbor and spatial proximity estimation on multiple datasets using a web based RESTful interface. Users can furthermore explore the input data structure, manage and adjust query pipeline parameters on the interface.
A demonstration of sterling
Authors: Hynes Nick , Dao David , Yan David , Cheng Raymond , Song Dawn
Published: September 2018

In this work, we demonstrate Sterling, a decentralized marketplace for private data. Sterling enables privacy-preserving distribution and use of data by using
privacy-preserving smart contracts
which run on a permissionless blockchain. The privacy-preserving smart contracts, written by data providers and consumers, immutably and irrevocably represent the interests of their creators. In particular, we provide a mechanism for data providers to control the use of their data through automatic verification of data consumer contracts, allowing providers to express constraints such as pricing and differential privacy. Through smart contracts and trusted execution environments, Sterling enables privacy-preserving analytics and machine learning over private data in an efficient manner. The resulting economy ensures that the interests of all parties are aligned.

For the demonstration, we highlight the use of Sterling for training machine learning models on individuals' health data. In doing so, we showcase novel approaches to automatically appraising training data, verifying and enforcing model privacy properties, and efficiently training private models on the blockchain using trusted hardware.
ConTPL

Published: September 2018

In many real-world systems, such as Internet of Thing, sensitive data streams are collected and analyzed continually. To protect privacy, a number of mechanisms are designed to achieve ϵ-differential privacy for processing sensitive streaming data, whose privacy loss is considered to be rigorously controlled within a given parameter ϵ
.
However, most of the existing studies do not consider the effect of temporal correlations among the continuously generated data on the privacy loss. Our recent work reveals that, the privacy loss of a traditional DP mechanism (e.g., Laplace mechanism) may not be bounded by ϵ due to temporal correlations. We call such unexpected privacy loss
Temporal Privacy Leakage
(TPL). In this demonstration, we design a system,
ConTPL,
which is able to automatically convert an existing differentially private streaming data release mechanism into one bounding TPL within a specified level. ConTPL also provides an interactive interface and real-time visualization to help data curator to understand and explore the effect of different parameters on TPL.
Efficient construction of approximate ad-hoc ML models through materialization and reuse

Published: September 2018

Machine learning has become an essential toolkit for complex analytic processing. Data is typically stored in large data warehouses with multiple dimension hierarchies. Often, data used for building an ML model are aligned on OLAP hierarchies such as location or time. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of efficiently constructing approximate ML models for new queries from previously constructed ML models by leveraging the concepts of
model materialization
and
reuse
. For example, is it possible to construct an approximate ML model for data from the year 2017 if one already has ML models for each of its quarters? We propose algorithms that can support a wide variety of ML models such as generalized linear models for classification along with K-Means and Gaussian Mixture models for clustering. We propose a cost based optimization framework that identifies appropriate ML models to combine at query time and conduct extensive experiments on real-world and synthetic datasets. Our results indicate that our framework can support analytic queries on ML models, with superior performance, achieving dramatic speedups of several orders in magnitude on very large datasets.
How good are modern spatial analytics systems?
Authors: Pandey Varun , Kipf Andreas , Neumann Thomas , Kemper Alfons
Published: September 2018

Spatial data is pervasive. Large amount of spatial data is produced every day from GPS-enabled devices such as cell phones, cars, sensors, and various consumer based applications such as Uber, location-tagged posts in Facebook, In-stagram, Snapchat, etc. This growth in spatial data coupled with the fact that spatial queries, analytical or transactional, can be computationally extensive has attracted enormous interest from the research community to develop systems that can efficiently process and analyze this data. In recent years a lot of spatial analytics systems have emerged. Existing work compares either limited features of these systems or the studies are outdated since new systems have emerged. In this work, we first explore the available modern spatial processing systems and then thoroughly compare them based on features and queries they support, using real-world datasets.
Argumentation and Reflection in Plato’s Gigantomachia (Sophist 245e6–249d5)
Authors: Vázquez Daniel
Published: September 2018

This paper argues that Plato’s gigantomachia is simultaneously concerned with first-order arguments about metaphysics and epistemology and with second-order arguments that reflect on the impact of ethical components, argumentative strategies and theoretical assumptions in the conversation. This complex argumentative structure reveals, I suggest, an organic and systematic conception of philosophy where all the elements are interdependent. This interpretation has four consequences, two at the second-order level, and two concerning the first-order arguments. First, it shows that there are methodological and ethical requirements without which philosophy is impossible. Second, it shows that the text does not refute materialism but tries to reflect the necessary conditions to consider possible the existence of incorporeal beings. Third, it argues that the text assumes a conception of knowledge where knowing something is a complex activity composed of two causal relations. Finally, it offers a new interpretation of the overall conclusion of the passage.
Tax Dispute Resolution and Taxpayer Screening
Authors: Sato Hideki
Published: September 2018

The purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of the tax tribunal, and the functions of its dispute resolution decisions according to a law and economics perspective. We show that the tax agency can use the tax tribunal as a screening device. That is, the tax agency can inform taxpayers of income tax that minimizes their expected costs, and then can screen taxpayers based on whether they appeal to the tax tribunal.
The even, the odd, the superalgebras and their derivations
Authors: Roger Claude
Published: September 2018

We give an introduction to superalgebra, founded on the difference between even (commuting) and odd (anti-commuting) variables. We give a sketch of Graßmann’s work, and show how derivations of those structures induce various superalgebra structures, Lie superalgebras of Cartan type being obtained with even derivations, while odd derivations induce Jordan-type superalgebras.

Strength and stiffness of the reaction wood in five Eucalyptus species
Authors: Soares Bruno Charles Dias , Lima José Tarcísio , Goulart Selma Lopes , Assis Claudineia Olímpia de
Published: September 2018

Tree stems deviating from the vertical position react by the formation of tension wood (TW) or compression wood (CW), which are called in general as reaction wood (RW), in which the cells are modified chemically and anatomically. The focus of the present work is the mechanical behavior of TW in five 37-year-old Eucalyptus species, which were grown on a planting area with an average slope of 28% leading to decentralized pith in the trees, which is an unequivocal indication of the presence of RW. TW and opposite wood (OW) samples were isolated and subjected to a compression-parallel-to-grain test. It was observed that TW is less resistant and less stiff than the OW.
A coupled complex boundary expanding compacts method for inverse source problems
Authors: Zhang Ye , Gong Rongfang , Gulliksson Mårten , Cheng Xiaoliang
Published: September 2018

In this paper, we consider an inverse source problem for elliptic partial differential equations with both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The unknown source term is to be determined by additional boundary data. This problem is ill-posed since the dimensionality of the boundary is lower than the dimensionality of the inner domain. To overcome the ill-posed nature, using the a priori information (sourcewise representation), and based on the coupled complex boundary method, we propose a coupled complex boundary expanding compacts method (CCBECM). A finite element method is used for the discretization of CCBECM. The regularization properties of CCBECM for both the continuous and discrete versions are proved. Moreover, an a posteriori error estimate of the obtained finite element approximate solution is given and calculated by a projected gradient algorithm. Finally, numerical results show that the proposed method is stable and effective.

Published: September 2018

Biochar (BC) generated from thermal and hydrothermal cracking of biomass is a carbon-rich product with the microporous structure. The graphene-like structure of BC contains different chemical functional groups (e.g. phenolic, carboxylic, carbonylic, etc.), making it a very attractive tool for wastewater treatment, CO2 capture, toxic gas adsorption, soil amendment, supercapacitors, catalytic applications, etc. However, the carbonaceous and mineral structure of BC has a potential to accept more favorable functional groups and discard undesirable groups through different chemical processes. The current review aims at providing a comprehensive overview on different chemical modification mechanisms and exploring their effects on BC physicochemical properties, functionalities, and applications. To reach these objectives, the processes of oxidation (using either acidic or alkaline oxidizing agents), amination, sulfonation, metal oxide impregnation, and magnetization are investigated and compared. The nature of precursor materials, modification preparatory/conditions, and post-modification processes as the key factors which influence the final product properties are considered in detail; however, the focus is dedicated to the most common methods and those with technological importance.

Published: September 2018

Für die steigenden Anforderungen der Zuverlässigkeit und Präzision von Messergebnissen für die Oberflächenqualität werden vermehrt mehrere Sensorsysteme bzw. Multisensor-Messsysteme eingesetzt. Durch Verwendung von Sensorsystemen unterschiedlicher Eigenschaften kann so mithilfe einer Fusion ein holistischeres Ergebnis erzielt werden. In diesem Beitrag werden zwei Möglichkeiten für die Fusion bei der Verwendung von konfokaler Mikroskopie und Weißlichtinterferometrie vorgestellt. Die Fusion wird einmal anhand von Gaußprozessen sowie mit einem Weighted Least-Squares-Verfahren durchgeführt. Die Gaußprozesse werden hierfür mit einem hierarchischen Ansatz und einer Bayes’schen Komitee- Maschine [20] umgesetzt. Das Weighted Least-Squares- Verfahren wird über implizite Oberflächen und mit einer gewichteten Kernel-Regression realisiert. Die verwendeten Sensoren sowie die Verfahren, die explizit für den Anwendungsfall adaptiert wurden, werden kurz vorgestellt. Auf die Ergebnisse anhand von Simulationen und realen Daten wird eingegangen. Verschiedene Metriken werden für die Bewertung der Resultate eingesetzt.

Published: September 2018

The charge density distribution of the intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) Mes2PCH2CH2B(C6F5)2(1), the phosphinimine HNPMes2CH2CH2B(C6F5)2(2), as well as a FLP homologue with nitrogen NEt2CHPhCH2B(C6F5)2(3) were investigated with Bader’s quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). The charge densities were derived from both experimental high-resolution X-ray diffraction data (2,3) and theoretical calculations (1,3). The QTAIM analysis for the FLPs1and3showed the prominent B-pnictogen interaction to be weak dative bonds without significant charge-transfer. This holds also true for the B–N–bond of2. The nitrogen atom is negatively charged, due to a charge transfer from phosphorous and shows features of a sp2-hybridization. The bond is therefore best described as a non-hypervalent Pδ+–Nδ−moiety.
A proteomics analysis of adventitious root formation after leaf removal in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)
Authors: Cheng Libao , Liu Huiying , Jiang Runzhi , Li Shuyan
Published: September 2018

The formation of adventitious roots (ARs) is an important process for lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), which does not have a well-formed main root. In lotus, the removal of leaves above the waterline significantly promoted AR formation, while the removal of leaves below the waterline inhibited AR formation. Proteins were identified using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantization technique. The number of proteins decreased with increasing sequencing coverage, and most of the identified proteins had fewer than 10 peptides. In the A1/A0 and A2/A1 stages, 661 and 154 proteins showed increased abundance, respectively, and 498 and 111 proteins showed decreased abundance, respectively. In the B1/B0 and B2/B1 stages, 498 and 436 proteins showed increased abundance, respectively, and 358 and 348 proteins showed decreased abundance, respectively. Among the proteins showing large differences in abundance, 17 were identified as being related to AR formation. Proteins involved in the glycolytic pathway and the citrate cycle showed differences in abundance between the two types of leaf removal. The transcriptional levels of nine genes encoding relevant proteins were assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results of this study illustrate the changes in metabolism after different types of leaf removal during AR formation in lotus.
Hypothalamic CCL2/CCR2 Chemokine System: Role in Sexually Dimorphic Effects of Maternal Ethanol Exposure on Melanin-Concentrating Hormone and Behavior in Adolescent Offspring
Authors: Chang Guo-Qing , Karatayev Olga , Halkina Viktoriya , Edelstien Jonathan , Ramirez Estefania , Leibowitz Sarah F.
Published: September 2018

Clinical and animal studies show that ethanol exposure and inflammation during pregnancy cause similar behavioral disturbances in the offspring. While ethanol is shown to stimulate both neuroimmune and neurochemical systems in adults, little is known about their anatomical relationship in response to ethanolin uteroand whether neuroimmune factors mediate ethanol's effects on neuronal development and behavior in offspring. Here we examined in female and male adolescent rats a specific population of neurons concentrated in lateral hypothalamus, which coexpress the inflammatory chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) or its receptor CCR2 with the orexigenic neuropeptide, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), that promotes ethanol drinking behavior. We demonstrate that maternal administration of ethanol (2 g/kg/d) from embryonic day 10 (E10) to E15, while having little impact on glia, stimulates expression of neuronal CCL2 and CCR2, increases density of both large CCL2 neurons colocalizing MCH and small CCL2 neurons surrounding MCH neurons, and stimulates ethanol drinking and anxiety in adolescent offspring. We show that these neuronal and behavioral changes are similarly produced by maternal administration of CCL2 (4 or 8 μg/kg/d, E10–E15) and blocked by maternal administration of a CCR2 antagonist INCB3344 (1 mg/kg/d, E10–E15), and these effects of ethanol and CCL2 are sexually dimorphic, consistently stronger in females. These results suggest that this neuronal CCL2/CCR2 system closely linked to MCH neurons has a role in mediating the effects of maternal ethanol exposure on adolescent offspring and contributes to the higher levels of adolescent risk factors for alcohol use disorders described in women.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTEthanol consumption and inflammatory agents during pregnancy similarly increase alcohol intake and anxiety in adolescent offspring. To investigate how neurochemical and neuroimmune systems interact to mediate these disturbances, we examined a specific population of hypothalamic neurons coexpressing the inflammatory chemokine CCL2 and its receptor CCR2 with the neuropeptide, melanin-concentrating hormone. We demonstrate in adolescent offspring that maternal administration of CCL2, like ethanol, stimulates these neurons and increases ethanol drinking and anxiety, and these effects of ethanol are blocked by maternal CCR2 antagonist and consistently stronger in females. This suggests that neuronal chemokine signaling linked to neuropeptides mediates effects of maternal ethanol exposure on adolescent offspring and contributes to higher levels of adolescent risk factors for alcohol use disorders in women.
Stac Proteins Suppress Ca2+-Dependent Inactivation of Neuronal l-type Ca2+Channels

Published: September 2018

Stac protein (named for its SH3- and cysteine-rich domains) was first identified in brain 20 years ago and is currently known to have three isoforms. Stac2, Stac1, and Stac3 transcripts are found at high, modest, and very low levels, respectively, in the cerebellum and forebrain, but their neuronal functions have been little investigated. Here, we tested the effects of Stac proteins on neuronal, high-voltage-activated Ca2+channels. Overexpression of the three Stac isoforms eliminated Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) ofl-type current in rat neonatal hippocampal neurons (sex unknown), but not CDI of non-l-type current. Using heterologous expression in tsA201 cells (together with β and α2-δ1auxiliary subunits), we found that CDI for CaV1.2 and CaV1.3 (the predominant, neuronall-type Ca2+channels) was suppressed by all three Stac isoforms, whereas CDI for the P/Q channel, CaV2.1, was not. For CaV1.2, the inhibition of CDI by the Stac proteins appeared to involve their direct interaction with the channel's C terminus. Within the Stac proteins, a weakly conserved segment containing ∼100 residues and linking the structurally conserved PKC C1 and SH3_1 domains was sufficient to fully suppress CDI. The presence of CDI forl-type current in control neonatal neurons raised the possibility that endogenous Stac levels are low in these neurons and Western blotting indicated that the expression of Stac2 was substantially increased in adult forebrain and cerebellum compared with neonate. Together, our results indicate that one likely function of neuronal Stac proteins is to tune Ca2+entry via neuronall-type channels.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTStac protein, first identified 20 years ago in brain, has recently been found to be essential for proper trafficking and function of the skeletal musclel-type Ca2+ channel and is the site of mutations causing a severe, inherited human myopathy. In neurons, however, functions for Stac protein have remained unexplored. Here, we report that one likely function of neuronal Stac proteins is tuning Ca2+ entry vial-type, but not that via non-l-type, Ca2+ channels. Moreover, there is a large postnatal increase in protein levels of the major neuronal isoform (Stac2) in forebrain and cerebellum, which could provide developmental regulation ofl-type channel Ca2+ signaling in these brain regions.

Agrarni odnosi na području bivše Dubrovačke republike (1814-1850)
Authors: Obad Stijepo
Published: September 2018

Zemljišni odnosi na području bivše Dubrovačke Republike složene su i specifične naravi, stoga ih treba pažljivo promatrati i proučavati. Za bolje razumijevanje tih odnosa spomenuto razdoblje može se analizirati kroz dvije osnovne razvojne faze, i to: od dolaska Austrije 1814. do 1841, za koje je vrijeme stanovništvo dubrovačkog kraja oprošteno od plaćanja poreza državi, a radna činidba kmetova prema zemljišnim vlasnicima bila je nešto blaža i mogla se potkraj toga perioda zamijeniti novčanom naknadom. Druga faza traje od 1841. do 1850, kada se na tom području prvi put uvodi i plaća porez u obliku desetine ili paušalne desetine, da bi se posljednje godine na temelju izrađenog katastra počeo ubirati u vidu zemljarine. Pokušat ćemo utvrditi osnovne tendencije u rješavanju kmetskih odnosa u navedenom razdoblju
Romanički zvonik u Ninu
Authors: Radulić Ksenija
Published: September 2018

Do obnove god. 1964. ninski je zvonik za povijest arhitekture izgledao potpuno nezanimljivo, ožbukanih zidova izvana i iznutra. Jedini vidljivi stilski elementi na njemu bili su profilacija završnoga vijenca i plitki istak, napravljen u žbuci, na početku i u ključu luka malih prozora koji su, grupirani po dva, rastvarali zidni plašt. Ne obraćajući pažnju na polukružni kameni okvir na vratima prvog kata, zvonik se obično, prema vijencu, prozorima i piramidi, datirao u XVIII st. ili, prema Bianchiju, u kraj XVII st., tačnije god. 1681.* Nakon potresa god. 1963, bio je potreban temeljit popravak. Tom se prilikom otkrilo da ninski zvonik nije osrednje djelo kasnog i osiromašenog provincijskog baroka, već jedan od najvećih romaničkih zvonika na našoj obali.
Marginalije uz odnose Vuka Karadžića s Dalmacijom
Authors: Foretić Dinko
Published: September 2018

Prve poznate kontakte Vuka Stefanovića Karadžića sa sjevernom Dalmacijom, i posebno sa Šibenikom i Zadrom, predstavlja njegova prepiska s rukovodiocima pravoslavne crkvene organizacije u Dalmaciji, arhimandritom Gerasimom Zelićem i episkopom Benediktom Kraljevićem. Kraljević je živo nastojao da prikupi što više pretplatnika na Vukov Rječnik i ta njegova revnost potakla je Vuka da mu se u času kad je bio bez zaposlenja, tj. dvadesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, obrati s molbom da otvori srpsku vjersku školu u Šibeniku i da njega uzme za učitelja. To se, međutim, nije ostvarilo, jer sva vla dičina nastojanja na realizaciji toga cilja ostala su do toga vremena bezuspješna. Tek 1832. osnovano je pravoslavno sjemenište u Šibeniku, gdje je privremeno bilo i sjedište eparhije dalmatinske.
Počeci radničkog pokreta u Dubrovniku
Authors: Obad Stjepo
Published: September 2018

Radnički pokret u Dubrovniku javlja se i razvija u uvjetima ekonomsko-društvene zaostalosti s jedne, i narodno-preporodnog gibanja, s druge strane. I jedno i drugo ostavit će znatna traga na obilježje pokreta. Od prvih do sada poznatih političkih istupanja radnika revolucionarne godine 1848, do kraja devetnaestog stoljeća, kada pokret dobiva socijalističko obilježje, ovo razdoblje u razvitku radničkog pokreta u Dubrovniku može se promatrati kroz slijedeće razvojne faze: od prvih zahtjeva radnika godine 1848. do osnivanja radničkih društava 1873—-1874; zatim od osnivanja društava do kraja sedamdesetih godina, kada uglavnom završava borba između narodnjaka i autonomaša oko idejnog utjecaja u radničkim društvima, te od početka osamdesetih godina do potkraj stoljeća, kada radnički pokret u ovome gradu dobiva socijalistički karakter. Posljednje dvije faze podudaraju se s tzv. periodom radničkih društava.

I za vrijeme vladavine Petra II Petrovića Njegoša od 1830. do 1851. g. bilo je nesnosno' političko stanje na granici Crne Gore i Skadarskoga i Hercegovačkoga pašaluka. Turci i Arbanasi su, tako reći. posvednevno vodili prave bitke s Crnogorcima. Oni su obično iznenada u ranu zoru upadali na crnogorsko zemljište, napadali crnogorska sela, ubijali Crnogorce, vodili u ropstvo Crnogorke i crnogorsku djecu, palili crnogorske kuće, kolibe, staje, slamu, sijeno i drugu stočnu hranu i plijenili na stotine sitne i krupne stoke. Staviše su žnjeli i usjeve s crnogorskih njiva, vozili ih svojim kućama ili su ih prilikom svoga povlačenja uništavali.

Zadar za vrijeme hrvatskih narodnih vladara
Authors: Antoljak Stjepan
Published: September 2018

Potkraj VI i početkom VII stoljeća u bizantskom Zadru stanovništvo se je dijelilo na kler, plemiće, puk, vojnike i bespravne robove. Pod plemićima (nobiles) uopće se misli i na patricije (patritii romani), koji su bili najviša klasa u gradu i njime su zapovijedali. Obrtnici i radnici koji su se bavili nekim poslom, te siromašan narod sačinjavali su plebs. Vojnici su bili mali i srednji posjednici koji su na osnovi zakona morali za porez na svoje zemljište služiti u vojsci. Prema tome, to je bila pokrajinska ili gradska milicija, ustanovljena za održavanje reda i mira.
Kantova anticipacija tretmana principa uzroka kao metodološkog pravila
Authors: Festini Heda
Published: September 2018

Pravu teorijsku obradu principa uzroka kao metodološkog pravila koje podstiçe učenjake u njihovu istraživanju dao je K. Popper. I sve do danas u metodologiji znanosti problem uzroka ne samo da je ostao jedno od značajnih pitanja, nego je postao mjerilo zastarjelosti ili modernosti nekog pristupa znanosti.
Kako je Alberto Fortis mogao doći do "Hasanaginice"
Authors: Franić Ante
Published: September 2018

Prije dvije stotine godina pojavila se u pisanom obliku na našem jeziku i u talijanskom prijevodu usmena (narodna) balada »Ža- lostna pjesanca plemenite Asan-aginice«, danas poznatije pod naslovom »Hasanaginica«. Od 1774, kad je izašla u Veneciji u putopisu talijanskog opata Alberta Fortisa Viaggio in Dalmazia, ta je pjesma, po riječima mnogih književnih stručnjaka, kao prva naša usmena pjesma prevedena na strani jezik, postala sastavnim dijelom svjetske književnosti kao pravi, nepatvoreni »pjesnički biser«. Umjetničkom jednostavnošću i skladom, zgusnutošću izraza i elegancijom iz- kaza složene ljudske tragike u formi tragedije jedne obitelji, posebno jedne plemenite žene, supruge i majke, pjesma je oduševila i oduševljava školovane i neškolovane, književne stručnjake i književne laike; i u SVom primarnom, »originalnom« obliku, iz usta narodnog pjevača, i u sekundarnom, zapisanom stanju, iz knjiga usmene poezije, i u tzv. tercijalnim, »neautentičnim« vidovima, iz prijevoda na strane jezike.
Bergsonova koncepcija apsolutne samostalnosti duha
Authors: Habazin Anđelko
Published: September 2018

Jedna od prvih i glavnih intencija filozofije XX stoljeća je otvaranje novih regija realiteta. Naime, to se vrijeme umorilo od staroga spora škola: »Namjesto konstruktivne spekulacije u velikim cjelokupnim sistemima klasične metafizike, s njihovim bezuvjetnim zahtjevom za jedinstvom i njihovim vrhunaravnim podrijetlima, stupa deskriptivno-analitički postupak. On napreduje od onoga što se može pokazati, dokazanoga ili vjerojatnog konkretnih područja iskustva, u ono načelno i sveobuhvatno pitanje o realitetu i bitku uopće, - bez stida od mnoštva i mnogostrukosti, i uvijek sebi svjestan onoga prethodno fragmentamoga svakog zamišljanja.«

Prilog proučavanju sintaktičke interferencije kod jezika u kontaktu
Authors: Tihomirović Dunja Jutronić
Published: September 2018

U svom članku u Suvremenoj lingvistici profesor Rudolf Fili- pović napominje slijedeće: »Dakle, evropski jezik kao jezik primalac može doći u kontakt s engleskim jezikom u dvjema sredinama i pod dvama različitim uvjetima: a) Evropski jezik kao jezik primalac dolazi u kontakt s engleskim, kao jezikom davaocem, u sredini u kojoj je jezik primalac službeni jezik, jezik nacije, a engleski je strani jezik. b) Evropski jezik kao jezik primalac dolazi u kontakt s engleskim, jezikom davaocem, koji je službeni jezik te zemlje i materinji jezik nacije. Tako se jezik primalac nalazi u podređenom položaju i izložen je snažnom svakodnevnom utjecaju jezika davaoca, službenog jezika.
Starohrvatska pasionska drama i pitanje stranih izvora

Takozvani pasionski tekstovi, tekstovi u kojima se obrađuje tema Kristove muke, najbogatiji su fond hrvatskog srednjovjekovnog stihotvorstva i to u lirici i u drami. Zato se njihovim proučavanjem mogu zapaziti mnoge pojave koje će vrijediti za cjelokupnu hrvatsku srednjovjekovnu poeziju.
O odrazu Dostojevskoga na poeziju Augusta Cesarca
Authors: Muljačić Žarko
Published: September 2018

Kult Dostojevskoga kod Hrvata1 ostavio je vidljiv trag čak i na Cesarčevu revolucionarnu poeziju. 0 utjecaju i odrazu Dostojevskoga na prozna djela Augusta Ce- sarca opširno je pisano u hrvatskoj književnoj kritici poslije II svjetskog rata2. U ovom radu pokušat ćemo dokazati da je F. M. Dostojevski ostavio uvjerljiv odraz na našega hrvatskog revolucionarnog pjesnika Augusta Cesarca, koji je stvarao svoja djela između dva rata (1918—1941).
Visoko školstvo u Zadru tijekom devetnaestog stoljeća
Authors: Obad Stijepo
Published: September 2018

Dalmatinski studenti stoljećima su stjecali naobrazbu na talijanskim sveučilištima, osobito na Sveučilištu u Padovi.1 Uslijed brojnih ratova, siromašna stanja stanovništva i velike udaljenosti, mletački senat dopustio je dalmatinskim studentima (1680) da mogu u Padovi izvanredno studirati pravo bez obveza i bez uvjeta da tijekom studija polažu ispite. Ispit su polagali samo na kraju studija radi diplomiranja.2 Mogućnost izvanrednog studiranja prava, koja su uglavnom koristili plemićki sinovi, bila je teže izvodiva uslijed nedostatka dovoljno sposobnih mentora-učitelja i rigorozna ispita. U osamnaestom stoljeću, stoljeću prosvjetiteljstva i napretka znanosti javili su se zahtjevi za otvaranje svjetovnih prosvjetnih zavoda. Mletački senat donio je odluku (1779) o utemeljenju zaklade Sv. Di- mitrija u Zadru za školovanje muške mladeži, uključujući stjecanje osnova iz pravnih znanosti.3 * Mletački knez namijenio je ženski samostan sv. Dimitrija za obrazovanje muške omladine. U Zadru je postojalo još nekoliko zaklada, npr. Antuna Ciprianusa, namijenjena plemićima, Ivana Giovinoa i Sv. Mihovila na Ugljanu (San Michiele in monte).
Dalmacija i poljsko-hrvatska kulturna uzajamnost početkom XX stoljeća
Authors: Pazdzierski Lech
Published: September 2018

Ako se već pokušava dokazati da Poljska »leži na Mediteranu«1 u smislu klasičnih, renesansnih, baroknih i dr. podsticaja, sa istim se pravom može tvrditi da se to odnosi i na jadransku jugoslovensku obalu kroz koju su vodili putevi po »zlatno runo« u Italiju, Grčku itd. Ne dirajući daleku prošlost obeleženu tačkama: Jan Kochanow- ski —■ dalmatinski đaci italijanskih univerziteta (a takođe Jan Kocha- nowski — Andrija Dudić i Ignjat Durđević); najzad I. Gundulić, A. Sapieha, T. T. Jež (Uskoci) itd., valja malo prozboriti o oblikovanju kulturnih veza početkom našeg stoljeća, koje se i nas indirektno ili direktno tiču.

Kratak pregled bosanske književnosti Mihaela Napotnika iz godine 1884.
Authors: Rotar Janez
Published: September 2018

Kada je godine 1878. Austrijska Monarhija okupirala Bosnu i Hercegovinu, u štampi se uskoro počeo pojavljivati izraz »Nova Austrija«. Njime se označavalo zaposjednute zemlje i samim tim, na svojevrstan način i po ugledu na klasični evropski kolonijalizam, održavao se odnos podunavske Monarhije prema okupiranim zemljama »južno od Save«. Ali situacija se u ovom slučaju znatno razlikovala od klasičnih kolonijalnih odnosa evropskih zemalja. »Nova Austrija« neposredno se naslanjala na dotadašnje granice Monarhije, dok u etničkom i jezičnom pogledu granice nisu ni postojale; bile su samo političke, a djelimično i vjerske, konfesionalne. One su, međutim, bile neodredive iz različitih i poznatih razloga, a do izražaja nisu mogle jače doći ni zbog jezično-etničke ni socijalne povezanosti stanovništva.
Markantun de Dominis u "The staple of Newes" Bena Johnsona

Vrednovanje umjetničkog književnog djela ne može biti ograničeno samo na estetsko-umjetničku analizu. Ako jedno djelo zaista ima umjetničku vrijednost, ono zaslužuje da ga se prouči s više aspe- kata. Potrebno je poznavati u dijalektičnom jedinstvu svu kompleksnost stvarnosti, tj. prostora i vremena u kojem je djelo nastalo. Da bismo, dakle, mogli bolje razumjeti i bolje doživjeti djela jednog Shakespearea, Ben Jonsona, Thomasa Middletona i drugih, ukoliko govorimo o engleskoj književnosti, moramo poznavati uz ostalo i izvore iz kojih su ti književnici crpili svoje inspiracije, prototipove likova koje su prikazali i lokalne specifičnosti koje su se u tim djelima odrazile, što, ujedno, ne znači da ta djela nisu istovremeno i općeljudska, univerzalna ili bolje reći odraz svih vremena i svih ljudi. U tome i leži njihova veličina i vrijednost.
Osnove za jednu moguću koncepciju predmeta kultura oblikovanja
Authors: Vrančić Josip
Published: September 2018

Industrijska revolucija je rodila radničku klasu, a nova klasa je neizbježno revolucionirala cjelokupnu društvenu strukturu, misao i praksu društvenog života. Međutim to revolucioniranje društvene situacije nije izbilo odjednom niti se kretalo pravolinijski. I ono poznaje svoja krivudanja i put kroz maglu, period sazrijevanja. Stare strukture i stara shvaćanja posjedovala su privid apsolutnosti i ne- promjenljivosti te su rani reformistički, socijalističko-utopistički filantropski pokušaji predlagali promjene koje su zahvaćale samo površinu stvarnosti. Tek je Marxova misao usmjerila napore na bitno: totalno znanstveno osmišljeno prestrukturiranje društvenih odnosa. Od površine krenulo se prema samoj jezgri stvari.
Obnavljanje škola u Zadru nakon oslobođenja
Authors: Zaninović Mate

Zadar je u svojoj povijesti bio plijen različitih osvajača, prodavan i otuđivan, pa je tako nakon prvog svjetskog rata Rapalskim ugovorom od 12. studenoga 1920, temeljenim na Londonskom sporazumu tadašnjih velikih sila kao sastavnom dijelu ekspanzionističke politike talijanskog imperijalizma, otuđen od teritorija i naroda kojem je od davnina geografski i etnički pripadao.
Quirina Traversa Pars zadarskih srednjovjekovnih isprava
Authors: Strgačić Ante
Published: September 2018

Zlatarska djela koja su u toku srednjeg vijeka nastala u Zadru stekla su u našoj kulturnoj javnosti izvjesnu popularnost. Izložba »Zlato i srebro Zadra«, koju je Jugoslavenska akademija organizirala u svojim prostorijama u Zagrebu u jesen god. 1951, i prigodne publikacije o toj izložbi — katalog i knjiga reprodukcija s predgovorom M. Krleže — odigrale su značajnu ulogu u tom pogledu. Znatni podaci o djelovanju zlatara u Zadru bili su nam i otprije poznati, ali su znatno nadopunjeni i zaokruženi publikacijom C. Fiskovića, koji je objavljujući rezultate svog istraživanja u zadarskom Historijskom arhivu iznio niz podataka o zlatarima koji su od XIV do XVI st. živjeli i djelovali u Zadru. Međutim, glavni posao na tom vrijednom materijalu nije još izvršen. Temeljita analiza spomenika nije učinjena, nisu se međusobno komparirali pojedini predmeti koji su po funkciji ili po stilskim osobinama srodni. Nešto je opširnije obrađen tek srebrni kovčeg sv. Šimuna, ali i on čeka detaljniju i suvremeniju obradu.Ostali su još neistraženi vrlo vrijedni predmeti koji su se sačuvali u seoskim crkvama zadarskog primorja i zadarskih otoka, kao i u gradovima Ninu i Pagu koji su sa Zadrom u toku srednjeg vijeka imali jake doticaje. Oni pak po svojim karakteristikama mogu znatno pridonijeti izučavanju zadarskog zlatarstva. Orijentirana ekonomski na Zadar i o njemu ovisna u crkveno-organizacionim poslovima, ta su naselja u toku stoljeća nabavljala u Zadru liturgijski inventar.
O jednom tipu lučne fibule iz naših arheoloških zbirki
Authors: Lisičar Petar
Published: September 2018

Takozvana lučna fibula "na šarnir" (njem. Bogenscharnierfi- bel), navodno » tipa Štrpci«, antički je specijalitet iz naših i dru­gih nalazišta, tipološki porijeklom iz Grčke ili iz Male Azije. Luk joj je ukrašen zrnastim, u presjeku zvjezdolikim ojačanjima. Jedan kraj luka (glava) ima oblik palmette, pravilnog ili deformiranog oblika.  Tu se igla pridržava šarkom (njem. Scharnier). Drugi je kraj luka (noga) u vidu slova T s raznim dekorativnim dodacima. Tu je u savijutku ležaj za kraj igle. Fibula se javlja u raznim varijantama.
