Nusikalstamų veikų kvalifikavimo studijų orientyrai
Authors: Bieliūnas Egidijus
Published: August 2016

Straipsnyje pateikiama nusikalstamų veikų kvalifikavimo teorijos būklės ir perspektyvų Lietuvos tei­sininkų darbuose apžvalga. Apibūdinami šios teorijos studijų svarbos, jos šaltinių, metodų, galimybių klausimai. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į teorijos nepakankamą brandą, sietiną su įsišaknijusia tradicija, pagal kurią nusikalstamų veikų kvalifikavimas sudaro tam tikrą baudžiamosios teisės doktrinos dalį. Bandoma pagrįsti idėją, kad būtina sutelkti dėmesį į oficialių nusikalstamų veikų kvalifikavimą kaip santykiškai savarankišką reiškinį. Įtvirtinant tokį požiūrį reikia peržengti baudžiamosios teisės ribas ir kvalifikavimo fenomeną tyrinėti plačiau, atsižvelgiant į visą jam reikšmingą juridinį kontekstą. Kvalifikavimo teorija plėtotina taip, kad duotų kuo didesnę naudą kriminalinei justicijai. Todėl ji privalo būti orientuojama ne vien į baudžiamosios teisės žinių pagilinimą, bet į universalesnių ir tobulesnių kvalifikavimo rekomenda­cijų sistemos parengimą. Tai reikalauja įžengti į kitų teisės šakų, ypač baudžiamojo proceso, problemati­ką. Tokia suderinta sistema lengviau įsitvirtintų tiek įstatymuose, tiek justicijos praktikoje. L’article présente l’apperçue de l’état actuel de la théorie de qualification des infractions criminelles, telle qu’elle apparaît dans des publications des juristes Lituaniens. Les questions de son importance, de ses sources, méthodes et des possibilités y sont abordées également. On fixe l’attention sur ses défauts liés à la tradition enracinée, selon laquelle la qualification des infractions ne constitue qu’une partie de la doctrine du droit pénal. L’auteur de cet article fait un effort de promouvoir l’idée qu’il est nécessaire de se limiter uniquement à la qualification officielle des infractions. Une telle approche exige, néanmoins, de passer outre des limites habituelles au droit pénal, en regardant le phénomène de la qualification comme plus vaste et qui implique l’intérêt envers le contexte juridique élargi. La théorie de la qualifica­tion doit être développée au profit maximal de la justice criminelle. Donc, elle est obligée d’abandonner ses orientations restrictives vers le droit pénal. Son but est d’élaborer le système des règles, qui seraient, en matière de qualification, plus universelles et achevées. Ceci n’est guère possible sans intervenir dans le problématique des autres branches du droit, notamment de la procédure pénale. Un tel système pouvait s’introduire plus facilement tant en la législation que dans la pratique de la justice.
Lenkijos baudžiamojo kodekso 218 straipsnio 1 paragrafas – darbuotojų teisių pažeidimas kaip nusikalstama veika (atskiri aspektai)

Shoreline Drizzle Applications for Control of Incipient Patches of Yellowflag Iris (Iris pseudacorus)
Authors: DiTomaso Joseph M. , Kyser Guy B.
Published: August 2016

Yellowflag iris, native to Europe, is a rhizomatous, emergent, invasive plant found in pond margins, ditches, and other wetland sites in much of the United States. In water depths up to approximately 50 cm, it forms dense stands, which displace native sedges and rushes, reducing waterfowl habitat and water flow. The rhizomes can reach 6 m in lateral spread, making it very difficult to control by mechanical methods. In addition, conventional boom-sprayer applications are often impractical in most aquatic systems. Drizzle application is a technique for directed treatment of hard-to-reach invasive plants. It uses low volumes (26 to 104 L ha—1) of concentrated herbicide solution, applied using a spray gun emitting a thin stream of solution with an effective range of 6 m. In this study, conducted along the margins of two ponds at the University of California, Davis, we compared drizzle applications of glyphosate, imazapyr, and triclopyr to applications using a conventional boom sprayer. Although both glyphosate and imazapyr provided excellent control (> 96 %) of yellowflag iris with either treatment technique, only the drizzle treatments of imazapyr at 2.26 and 4.52% ae (10 and 20% product) at spray volumes of 52 and 26 L ha—1, respectively, were below the maximum labeled rate and still gave > 98 % control. Furthermore, a cost analysis indicated that the most economical application for effective control of yellowflag iris was a drizzle application of imazapyr at 4.52 % ae (20 % product) at 26 L ha—1. This study demonstrates that drizzle application with imazapyr can be a practical application method for yellowflag iris control in aquatic systems in which broadcast treatments with conventional boom sprayers may be difficult.
Scenario analysis of embodied greenhouse gas emissions in UK construction
Authors: Giesekam Jannik , Barrett John , Taylor Peter
Published: August 2016

Motivated by national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions budgets, the UK construction industry is pursuing reductions in emissions embodied in buildings and infrastructure. The current embodied GHG emissions benchmarks allow design teams to make a relative comparison between buildings and infrastructure but are not linked to sector or national GHG emissions reduction targets. This paper describes a novel model that links sector-level embodied GHG emissions estimates with project calculations. This provides a framework to consistently translate international, national and sector reduction targets into project targets. The required level of long-term GHG emissions reduction from improvements in building design and material manufacture is heavily dependent on external factors that the industry does not control, such as demand for new stock and the rate of electrical grid ‘decarbonisation’. A scenario analysis using the model suggests that, even if external factors progress along the better end of UK government projections, current practices will be insufficient to meet sector targets.
LES CORRÉLATIONS DE PERSONNE DANS L’ÉNONCÉ ORAL : ENJEUX ÉNONCIATIFS ET PROSODIQUES
Authors: SANOGO Amidou
Published: August 2016

RÉSUMÉ. Selon Benveniste (1966), l’espace énonciatif se répartit entre personnes (Je/Tu) et non-personne (Il). On peut citer, entre autres critères de détermination, les oppositions de nombre et les propriétés syntaxiques et les phénomènes      suprasegmentaux tels que le ton et l’intonation. Celle-ci correspond à la variation de la hauteur de la voix au cours de l’énonciation. L’étude aborde des énoncés de type oral avec une construction segmentée par une pause virgulaire. Cette segmentation comporte des implications prosodiques et distributionnelles qui fondent nos préoccupations. Dès lors, quelles peuvent être les incidences de ces phénomènes suprasegmentaux sur les corrélations de personne Je/Tu et Je, Tu/Il. L’étude a pour objectif de montrer la fonction différentielle de certains prosodèmes comme le ton, l’intonation, l’accent, etc. elle revêt l’intérêt de démontrer les limites de la dichotomie personne # non personne. Notre hypothèse est que les phénomènes prosodiques contribuent à la  cohésion des instances énonciatives à travers la catégorie de la personne. L’étude se propose d’examiner les schémas intonatifs et d’en dégager les propriétés sous l’angle de la personne grammaticale. 

 

Mots-clés: distributionnel, énonciation, intonation, personne, prosodie. 

 ABSTRACT. Benveniste’s (1966) theory underscores that the enunciation’s space is  divided between the persons (I / you) and non-person (It, he). These include, among other criterias, the opposition of numbers (singular/plural) and the syntactic properties (substitution, inversion…), which ones go along with some suprasegmental phenomena such as intonation. The intonation is the variation of the pitch of the voice when producing utterances. Therefore, what are the implications of these suprasegmentals phenomena on person correlations between I / You and I, You / It. The present contribution intends to highlight the differential properties of some prosodemes like tone, intonation and stress, etc., in the understanding of the dichotomy person # non-person. We hypothesize that the suprasegmental realizations help to the cohesion of the different levels of enunciation through the category of the person. In this study, we want to go through the intonation patterns and identify their properties on the perspective of the grammatical person.

 Keywords: distributional, enunciation, intonation, person, prosody.
MULTILINGUISME ET DYNAMIQUE DU FRANÇAIS AU CAMEROUN : VARIATIONS, CRÉATIVITÉS LEXICO-SÉMANTIQUE ET MORPHO-SYNTAXIQUE
Authors: PIEBOP Gisèle
Published: August 2016

RÉSUMÉ. Motivé par la forte différenciation ethnico-linguistique d’un pays caractérisé par un profil sociolinguistique pléthorique et complexe du fait de ses 283 unités linguistiques, l’Etat camerounais opte au lendemain des indépendances pour une politique linguistique érigeant l’anglais et le français comme langues officielles. A ce titre, ces deux langues des anciennes puissances coloniales bénéficient de privilèges de premiers rangs, au détriment des langues nationales qui se contentent de statuts et fonctions secondaires. Le français en ce qui le concerne se retrouve ainsi sur un territoire où les diversités ethnique, géographique et culturelle détermineront ses modalités d’appropriation et d’expansion, et surtout les variations sociolinguistiques auxquelles il est soumis. Se pose alors la question du développement et du devenir de cette langue importée et le présent article vient apporter des éléments de réponse à ce sujet. Ainsi, le travail analysera à partir de l’approche variationniste, les usages du français camerounais qui évolue et s’enrichit chaque jour un peu plus de tournures morpho-syntaxiques, d’emprunts, de nouvelles graphies, de calques, de nouveaux sens, etc.

 

Mots-clés: appropriation, diversité, français camerounais, statuts, variations.

ABSTRACT. Motivated by the strong ethno-linguistic differentiation of a country with a bloated and complex sociolinguistic profile due to its 283 linguistic units, the Cameroon government after independence opted for a language policy erecting English and French as official languages. As such, the two languages of former colonial powers receive forefront of privileges at the expense of national languages which merely secondary status and functions. As well as it is concerned, the French language finds it self in a territory where ethnic, geographic and cultural diversities determine its terms of appropriation and expansion, especially sociolinguistic variations to which it is subjected. This raises the question of the development and the future of this imported language, and this article just provides answers to this. The variationist approach is the framework through which the Cameroonian French, that evolves and grows each day a little more through morphosyntactic turns, loans, new spellings, layers, new meanings, etc. is analyzed.

« NOUS » ET LA CONSTRUCTION D’UN ETHOS INDIVIDUEL ET COLLECTIF DANS LE DISCOURS POLITIQUE
Authors: PU Zhihong LU Qiuyan,
Published: August 2016

RÉSUMÉ. La construction de l’image d’un pays ou d’une personne s’avère importante dans les échanges internationaux. Ainsi, notre étude porte sur la construction de l’ethos à la française pour mieux connaître les stratégies concernées et pour arriver à une communication efficace avec les Français à l’avenir. Le pronom « nous », considéré comme une jonction entre « je » et « non-je », demeure un marqueur important en ce qui concerne la construction d’un ethos individuel et collectif, et nous ouvre la perspective sur sa valeur stratégique dans le discours politique aussi bien que sur sa fonction dans les relations hiérarchiques des actants. Notre travail, qui étudie le duel entre Sarkozy et Hollande en 2012 pendant les élections présidentielles, est essentiellement ancré dans l’analyse du discours, dans la théorie de l’énonciation de la subjectivité (Benveniste, 1966, 1974 ; Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2009) en particulier.

ABSTRACT. The national or personal image building is very important in international exchange. Therefore, our study focuses on the construction of ethos in a French way in order to gain a better understanding of the relevant strategies and to achieve effective communication with Frenchmen in the future. The pronoun “we”, which is supposed to be a junction between “I” and “non-I” in enunciation, is an important symbol in the construction of individual and collective ethos, and opens up the possibility to carry out a study on its strategic value in the political discourse, as well as its function in the hierarchical relationship among the participants. Our work, which is studying the duel between Sarkozy and Hollande during the presidential election in 2012, is rooted in the theory of discourse analysis, especially in the theory of enunciation of subjectivity (Benveniste, 1966, 1974; Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2009).

Os sistemas de rastreamento de toda a cadeia produtiva de animais estão cada vez mais presentes. Assim, todas as etapas do processo produtivo podem ser monitoradas por meio de sistemas inteligentes que auxiliam com precisão na tomada de decisão, maximizando todo o sistema. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho do sistema de identificação eletrônica por radio frequência (RFID) do tipo tag passivo instalado em uma câmara de preferência ambiental (CPA) quanto à detecção dos movimentos de frangos de corte, e foi realizado em duas partes: 1) Detecção do alcance das antenas utilizando um robô; 2) Rastreamento do movimento de frangos de corte entre os compartimentos da CPA. Observou-se que o sinal de RFID emitido pela etiqueta pode ser lido a aproximadamente 10 cm de distância da antena, identificando uma zona de não detecção. Portanto, o sistema RFID instalado na CPA não apresentou o desempenho esperado, e esta tecnologia deve ser replanejada ou substituída.

In this paper, Xiahe county which belongs to Tibetan Plateau pastoral was investigated. Six parameters(via, chloride, COD, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate, fluoride, sulfate) were selected to assess the water quality and health degree by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods. The hydrochemical type in surface water was of HCO3--Mg2+-Ca2+ type. The cations and anions in surface water were mainly from weathering and dissolution of carbonate rock. Results showed that the water quality in all 69 sampling sites was all of class Ⅰ. The integrated health degree reached more than 0.85 and the health rate were 100%. Although ammonia nitrogen was regarded as the main contamination factor, but it had a little effect on the entire body of water. Overall, the surface water qualities of most samples in Xiahe County was good condition.
Dinamika Perubahan Sosial Dan Hukum Islam

Abstract: The Dynamics of Social Change and Islamic Law are related each other in making a change. In the one hand,  social changeis caused by the Islamic law, but on the other hand, the change of Islamic law itself is causedby the social changes. The existence of Islamic law, which was brought  by Rasulullah Saw, had clearly changed the social community at that time;the changes started from jahiliyyah societyera that strongly held  their  tradition to the Islamic societyera that held Islamic law.By the same token, Islamic law had also made a change due to social changes. According to juries-prudency of Islamic law(regulations made by fukaha/Islamic cleric) that thechange of the fatwa (advice) was caused by the change of the periode, place, situation (niat) and tradition".  By doing the change of law, the Islamic law becomes dynamic, and adaptable and islamic lawswould be up to date in accordance with the current development and the social changes.الملخص: الدينا ميكية الاجتماعية والأحكام الشرعية مرتبطان في إيجاد التغير. من جهة كان التغير الاجتماعي بسبب وجود الأحكام الشرعية. ومن جهة اخرى تغيّر الحكم الشرعي بسبب التغيّر الاجتماعى . وجود الشريعة الاسلامية التي أتى بها الرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم غيّرت - بوضوح - المجتمعات فى ذلك الوقت من مجتمعات جاهلية متمسكة بالعادات إلى مجتمعات إسلامية متمسكة بالشريعة الاسلامية. ولكن الأحكام الشرعية أيضا تتغير بسبب التغير الاجتماعي الموافق بالقاعدة الفقهية التي وضعها الفقهاء " تغير الفتوى بتغير الزمان والمكان والاحوال والعادة " فبتغير الاحكام  تكون الأحكام الشرعية مرنة، عطوفة، لينة، قابلة للمواجهة ، اذن كانت الأحكام الشرعية قابلة للتجديد ومناسبة بتطور الزمان والتغير الاجتماعي. Abstrak: Dinamika sosial dan hukum Islam saling memiliki keterkaitan dalam melakukan perubahan. Satu sisi perubahan sosial karena hukum Islam. Di sisi lain, perubahan hukum Islam karena  perubahan sosial. Keberadaan hukum Islam yang dibawa oleh Rasulullah Saw. dengan jelas merubah sosial masyarakat pada waktu itu dari masyarakat jahiliyyah yang berpegang kepada adat kebiasaan mereka menjadi masyarakat Islam yang berpegang kepada hukum Islam. Tetapi hukum Islam juga melakukan perubahan karena terjadinya perubahan sosial. Sesuai dengan kaidah fikih yang dibuat oleh fuqaha: “berubahnya fatwa dengan sebab berubahnya masa, tempat, keadaan (niat) dan adat kebiasaan.” Dengan melakukan perubahan hukum, maka hukum Islam itu dinamis, dan mampu beradaptasi, sehingga hukum Islam itu op tu date sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman dan perubahan sosial.

Without seeing them, fifty respondents with and without an art-and-design-based background were asked to describe their feelings in their words as they touched the cases as well as explain them by provided words. The results show that different surface textures did evoke different respondents’ feelings of which those familiar with the design were able to express a wider range. All participants were able to describe both the initial sense of physicality and complex feelings toward every textured surface investigated.© 2016. The Authors.

Authors: Chang Shenglin Elijah , Yang Ze-jyun , Kuo Ming-yang , Hsiao Ting-hsiun
Published: August 2016

This paper examines the most effective ways of engaging urban citizens to appreciate rural villages and agriculture traditions. Pondering on experiences of rural revitalization experiments in Asian societies, this paper proposes the concept of “participatory agricultural humanities.” Participatory agricultural humanities are tools and processes engaging citizens into eco-friendly farming and land related works or events. Based on action research and qualitative research methods, we have been working with peri-urban and rural communities in Taiwan since 2009. Only embracing agricultural humanities as our values, we could re-establish eco-friendly rural developments with biodiversity and cultural diversity as a whole.© 2016. The Authors.

From Isovist to Spatial Perception: Wayfinding in Historic Quarter
Authors: Chen Chih-Hung , Lin Ting-Ju , Chen Chih-Yu
Published: August 2016

Based on the assumption that human behaviours are mainly affected by physical and animate environments, this empirical research takes the changeful and complex historical district in Tainan to observe wayfinding behaviours. An a priori analysis of the isovist fields is conducted to identify spatial characteristics. Three measures, the relative area, convexity, and circularity, are applied to scrutinize the possible stopping points, change of speed, and route choices. Accordingly, an experiment is carried out to observe spatial behaviours and different influences of social stimuli. Results show that social interactions afford groups and pairs to perform better than individual observers in wayfinding.© 2016. The Authors.

Published: August 2016

The walkability approach is essential to ensure the connectivity among space in the urban area. The design should be appropriate, safety, maximize and capable of reaching every inch of the spaces, just by walking. Good connectivity must allow people to walk freely and accessible in many ways. People have great chances to meet each other or having potential outdoor activities without any challenges. This study aims to measure the user perception of the existing spaces in the urban public housing environment that been covered and uncovered with the walkability linkages. The objectives of this study are to identify the existing pedestrian linkages in the study area; to investigate the user perception of the existing walkability system in the study area, and finally to conclude and provide a better solution for better walkability opportunity among residents to access the public park.© 2016.

Experimental studies on the hybrid system of heat and cold production from solar energy
Authors: Gil Stanislaw , Gradon Boguslaw , Bialik Wojciech
Published: August 2016

In recent years more and more energy is consumed in the European Union countries for summer air conditioning in buildings. This consumption will probably increase even more due to the predicted climate warming and the desire to improve the quality of life. At present final energy as heat and electricity is sourced mainly from fossil fuels. However, recently alternative renewable energy sources are increasingly taken into account as a result of efforts toward environmental protection and fuels savings. This paper presents results of the analysis of a hybrid solar-assisted heating and cooling system for buildings in the temperate climate of west and central Europe. Solar energy potential was estimated. The investigation was performed using a large scale laboratory installation, which contains an evacuated solar collector, a single-stage NH3-H2O absorption chiller and a hot water tank. The impact of the main system parameters on its performance was analyzed on the basis of energy balances.
Numerical research of the compressible flow in a vortex tube using OpenFOAM software
Authors: Burazer Jela , Cocic Aleksandar , Lecic Milan
Published: August 2016

The work presented in this paper is dealing with numerical simulation of energy separation mechanism and flow phenomena within a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube. Simulation of turbulent, compressible, highly swirling flow inside vortex tube is performed using RANS approach, with Favre averaged conservation equations. For turbulence closure, k-? and k-? shear-stress transport models are used. It is assumed that the mean flow is axisymmetric, so the 2-D computational domain is used. Computations were performed using open-source CFD software Open- FOAM. All compressible solvers available within OpenFOAM were tested, and it was found that most of the solvers cannot predict energy separation. Code of two chosen solvers, which proved as the most robust, is modified in terms of mean energy equation implementation. Newly created solvers predict physically accepted behavior in vortex tube, with good agreement with experimental results. Comparison between performances of solvers is also presented.

Published: August 2016

Different scale tests to explore the influence of fiberglass mesh on the fire behavior of expanded polystyrene (EPS) have been conducted. Micro scale combustion calorimeter to measure the heat release rate per unit mass, heat release capacity, and the total heat release of EPS and as well as the fiberglass for milligram specimen mass has been used. Cone colorimeter bench scale burning tests with the EPS specimens and EPS-fiberglass compound specimens have been carried out. The heat release rate per unit area, ignition times, and the derived minimum igniting heat fluxes were determined. Comparative burning tests on the fire spread tendency of EPS and EPS-fiberglass compound specimens have been carried out. It was established that the fiberglass mesh stabilizes the EPS fire as a wick fire due to the adherence of the melting polystyrene adheres to the fiberglass mesh and this causes an upwards fire spread.
Evaluating Needs of Road Maintenance in Sweden with the Mixed Proportional Hazards Model
Authors: Svenson Kristin , Li Yujiao , Macuchova Zuzana , Rönnegård Lars
Published: August 2016

National road databases often lack important information for long-term maintenance planning of paved roads. In the Swedish case, latent variables of which there are no recordings in the pavement management systems database are, for example, underlying road construction, subsoil conditions, and amount of heavy traffic measured by the equivalent single-axle load. The mixed proportional hazards model with random effects was used to capture the effect of these latent variables on a road’s risk of needing maintenance. Estimation of random effects makes it possible to identify sections that have shorter or longer lifetimes than could be expected from the observed explanatory variables (traffic load, pavement type, road type, climate zone, road width, speed limit, and bearing capacity restrictions). The results indicate that the mixed proportional hazards model is useful for maintenance planning because the weakest and strongest sections in a road network can be identified. The effect of the latent variables was visualized by plotting the random effect of each section in a map of the road network. In addition, the spatial correlation between road sections was evaluated by fitting the random effects in an intrinsic conditional autoregressive model. The spatial correlation was estimated to explain 17% of the variation in lifetimes of roads that occur because of the latent variables. The Swedish example shows that the mixed proportional hazards and intrinsic conditional autoregressive models are suitable for analyzing the effect of latent variables in national road databases.
