O DIREITO AO TRABALHO ACHADO NA RUA: O DESPERTAR DA SOCIEDADE E AS TRANSFORMAÇÕES SUBSTANTIVAS REQUERIDAS PELO MUNDO DO TRABALHO E PELO ESTADO DEMOCRÁTICO DE DIREITO
Authors: Rocha Cláudio Jannotti da , Porto Lorena Vasconcelos , De Paula Quenya Correa
Published: November 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo precípuo analisar o direito ao e do trabalho a partir do direito achado na rua, que é uma concepção inspirada no humanismo dialético do jurista Roberto Lyra Filho e que invoca o espaço comunitário para a conscientização de que há vida jurídica fora do universo oficial. Próxima do povo pobre e excluído, essa mirada interdisciplinar, em sua abordagem crítica, posiciona-se pela legitimidade dos movimentos sociais para combater a sociedade desigual em relação a qual o positivismo jurídico, assente no rigor cientificista, revela pouca sensibilidade por força do dogmatismo do sujeito absoluto idealizador.  Sob essa égide, os autores preocupam-se em levantar a problemática de que para a máxima efetividade do Estado Democrático de Direito, deve-se tutelar o trabalho que é realizado nas ruas ou nas ações coletivas e não somente proteger as relações empregatícias, afinal, o direito ao trabalho é um direito fundamental, praticado pelo homem de maneira atemporal, onipresente e indeterminada, fruto dos movimentos sociais e onde se ressalta a existência da vida além das indústrias e fábricas, situação ora evidenciada pelos autores de direito ao trabalho achado na rua. A metodologia utilizada neste artigo é a qualitativa, na modalidade descritiva, consubstanciada na pesquisa bibliográfica e documental à luz do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro e internacional.
Investigation on Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) Membrane of Composition [(1-X) PEO: x AgCl] Prepared by Hot Press Technique
Authors: L.VERMA MOHAN , VERMA ARTI
Published: November 2018

Solid polymer Electrolyte (SPE ) is prepared by using PEO as host polymer and AgCl as salt in appropriate wt% ratio of the composition [(1-X) PEO: x AgCl ] where X = 10, 20, 30, 40 etc.by novel hot press technique. For ion transport property study conductivity (s) measurement is done for various composition x in (wt %) and the composition [70 PEO: 30 AgCl] is identified as optimum conducting composition (OCC). The variation in conductivity as a function of temperature is analysed and activation energy (Ea) is computed be least square fitting of the data of conductivity with respect to temperature. The conductivity enhancement of more than one order is obtained in SPE (OCC) as compare to pure PEO. The morphological and structural characterization of SPE membrane is done by using XRD/DSC, SEM, and FTIR studies.
RuPaul’s Drag Race: A study in the commodification of white ruling-class femininity and the etiolation of drag
Authors: Hodes Caroline , Sandoval Jorge
Published: November 2018

This article explores the spectacularized commodification of the queer body that takes place in RuPaul’s Drag Race. In appropriating the political history of drag culture as both social commentary and activism, RuPaul’s Drag Race silences the resistance to hegemonic gender binaries that is characteristic of the origins of radical drag. Drag Race commodifies the body through performances of drag that simultaneously attempt to subvert as they reify and fetishize hegemonic expressions of white, ruling-class femininity. This brings into stark relief the continuing relevance of both bell hooks and Judith Butler’s early theoretical interventions into the world of drag. Our examination of RuPaul’s Drag Race will draw on these insights by putting them into conversation with Catherine Rottenberg and Matt Sparke’s work on the embodiment of neo-liberal market ideology in a way that speaks to Ali MacLaurin and Aoife Monks’ conceptualization of the everyday through what Marcel Mauss refers to as techniques of the body. It is our contention that through the manipulation of physiology, the contestants in RuPaul’s Drag Race render corporeality a form of costuming that simultaneously etiolates drag and commodifies the body. Instead of subverting gender norms, the show’s capacity to create and disseminate legitimate and illegitimate modes of embodiment both reinforces and continues to shape already existing social hierarchies at the intersection of race, class, sexuality and gender.
Objectify me: Thing theory, Deborah Voigt and the Little Black Dress
Authors: Holt Annie
Published: November 2018

This article examines the notorious firing of Deborah Voigt from Covent Garden in 2004 – on the grounds that her body would not suit the costume design – and her triumphant return four years later after undergoing bariatric surgery. It reads Voigt’s fascinating 2008 YouTube video in which she works out her creative differences with the costume (a Little Black Dress [LBD]), now animated and endowed with a male British voice. Both the situation and the video blur the line between costume and body, and between human performers and objects. This article applies recent object theory – especially the work of Latour, Brown and Bennett – to costume design, and places this research in dialogue with feminist theories that examine the relationship of female bodies to objects. I suggest that it is not the costume–object that exerts surprising ‘thing-power’ in this situation; rather, it is Voigt’s body itself, which becomes a ‘thing’. This incident shows us that the materiality of the performer’s body (qualities like size, sex, skin colour) can become an actant in the mimetic process. Usually, costumes work to erase the gap between the actor’s body and the ‘character body’ – a term I borrow from costume design practice – but in this situation, the LBD apparently cannot close the gap between Voigt’s body and the role she was to portray. This separation creates a new space for thinking about the relationship between onstage objects and subjects, and their possible collapse into the costume–body. This article ends with questions for further research: could object theory function as a trap door into a new kind of power for female stage performers – or is it just a trap?
The costumographer: Revolutions in performance pedagogy
Authors: Smith Lorraine
Published: November 2018

This visual essay reflects on the impact of costume on dance performance practice and pedagogy, focusing initially on the author’s professional engagement with experimental costume pedagogy and the impact this had on subsequent work. Discussing the transformation of her creative practice through interaction with costume, and most recent collaborative costume performance project Elizabeth & the Three Sisters, the text proposes the term ‘costumographer’ as a new definition for choreographers and performers working with costume as starting point and principal focus of the performance. It highlights the effect costume can have on the understanding and implementation of the moving and performing body, as well as the devising process and brings awareness to the lack of real costume experiences in dance education, advocating the importance of sharing pedagogies and artistic practices to critique and develop interconnecting art forms relating to performance.
Commedia dell’Arte masks today: Old forms and new commedia
Authors: Crick Olly
Published: November 2018

Commedia masks have achieved iconic status in some theatrical circles, though recent interviews undertaken for my ongoing Ph.D. thesis reveal that contemporary teleological practice relates to the purpose to which each individual re-creator conceives commedia, and not necessarily to the historical model. A commedia mask is identified as always being a specific role or stock type. These stock types, or ‘tipi fissi’ (fixed types), are, however, recreations or re-imaginings of the original Renaissance masks, and yet the purpose to which they are being put is, self-evidently, contemporary and performative. Using these historical masks, other than in the sense of Brechtian historicization, to make contemporaneously engaged theatre falls short due to a mismatch between contemporary and historical culture. Out of this mismatch arises then, the questions of who or what the masks represent today, and how new types can develop? Historical scholarship tended to focus on the individual mask, but I currently propose that contemporary Commedia dell’Arte masks be considered primarily as an ensemble or ‘set’, rather than as a collection of individuals. The performed function of this interdependent grouping is to comically communicate to an audience activity within the ‘set’, with the ‘set’ being defined as a purposed reflection of a society. This allows the genre to progress into areas of comically directed social and gender interrogation, promoting evolution within the mask set, rather than accepting the constraints imposed by their use as a mirror of Renaissance society to mirror our own. This analysis presents a theoretical framework to aid ongoing contemporary explorations into the form, purpose and design of the genre’s masks. In this article I employ three terms to describe the genre: ‘Commedia dell’Arte’ to describe the historical form, Guilia Filacanapas’s neologism ‘Neo-Commedia’ to describe the genre’s recreations since 1945 and ‘Commedia’ to include both or indicate the genre.

Políticas de inclusión lingüística en España destinadas al alumnado de nacionalidad extranjera de reciente incorporación al sistema educativo: Dilemas y tensiones en tiempos de crisis
Authors: Rodríguez Izquierdo Rosa María
Published: November 2018

Este artículo examina las políticas lingüísticas destinadas a los escolares de nacionalidad extranjera de reciente incorporación al sistema educativo en España. En primer lugar, ofrecemos una descripción de las políticas y programas de apoyo lingüístico a nivel escolar, y en particular de las denominadas “aulas especiales”. En segundo lugar, haremos un breve análisis de su impacto con la intención de aportar al debate de cómo han podido servir para el desarrollo de procesos de inclusión o para la implementación de formas de exclusión o de segregación de este alumnado. Los resultados revelan que en las aulas especiales no se reconoce el carácter complejo de lo que implica el aprendizaje de la lengua, no cuestionándose la organización escolar. Más bien las medidas se fundamentan en las nociones de compensación y en el enfoque de déficit de los estudiantes de nacionalidad extranjera. El artículo sostiene que mientras las políticas se basen en dichas ideas los estudiantes de nacionalidad extranjera seguirán estando en desventaja y tendrán menos oportunidades educativas. Finalmente, se propone un modelo de escuela que favorezca el apoyo lingüístico no solo para los estudiantes de nacionalidad extranjera sino también como un instrumento de una educación de calidad para todos.
Políticas públicas de formação de diretores de escolas públicas no Brasil: Uma análise do Programa Nacional Escola de Gestores da Educação Básica (PNEGEB)
Authors: Sottani Natália Bazoti Brito , Mariano Sandra Regina Holanda , Moraes Joysi , Dias Bruno Francisco
Published: November 2018

Este texto apresenta os resultados da análise da política pública de formação de diretores de escolas públicas, implementada por meio do Programa Nacional Escola de Gestores de Educação Básica (PNEGEB), que vigorou no Brasil de 2006 a 2016 e empregou R$70.017.228,06. A análise foi realizada sob a perspectiva do modelo de ciclo de políticas públicas (Howlett & Ramesh, 1995, 2003). Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com especialistas do Ministério da Educação (MEC), Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Rio de Janeiro e de universidades participantes do Programa, e foram consultados documentos disponibilizados pelo MEC. Das 36.443 vagas ofertadas, ao final de 2016, somente 19.257 gestores (53%) haviam concluído o Curso. A complexidade da implementação do Programa em âmbito nacional e a falta de articulação entre os diversos atores envolvidos nesta política, em certa medida, explicam a elevada evasão. O MEC não avaliou o Programa, reafirmando a dificuldade do país em avaliar políticas públicas de forma consistente e que possibilite orientar ações e investimentos futuros. A descontinuidade do Programa e a falta de uma política pública que o substitua sugerem um rebaixamento deste tema entre as prioridades do país.
The mechanical properties of OFHC copper and CuCrZr alloys after asymmetric rolling at ambient and cryogenic temperatures
Authors: Kočiško Róbert , Kvačkaj Tibor , Kováčová Andrea , Šimčák Dušan , Bidulský Róbert , Lupták Milostav , Vlado Martin , Pokorný Imrich
Published: November 2018

This work deals with comparing the mechanical properties of OFHC copper and CuCrZr alloys processed by asymmetric ambient rolling (ASaR) and asymmetric cryorolling (AScR). The conditions for asymmetrical rolling were ensured by different diameters of the main rolls. The thickness of samples was reduced about 20% - 70% at ambient temperature and at a temperature of liquid nitrogen. Mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, reduction of area and microhardness were determined for all rolled samples. Rolling at cryogenic temperatures provide about 50-60MPa more tensile strength for Cu and 60-80 MPa for CuCrZr alloys when rolling at ambient temperature. After AScR of CuCrZr alloys, a start of precipitation was shifted at the temperature of 434∘C and recrystallization was a part of the precipitation peak. According to the results, plastic deformation through shear bands is the dominant mechanism in materials with lower stacking fault energy (CuCrZr) treated under cryogenic conditions.
The selected roof covering technologies in the aspect of their life cycle costs
Authors: Apollo Magdalena , Siemaszko Agata , Miszewska-Urbańska Emilia
Published: November 2018

In the article is presented an analysis of the life cycle costs calculation for selected roof coverings. The scope of research includes costs of construction, maintenance and demolition of the roof covering structure for two alternative technologies – the traditional and new generation. On the presented example of an industrial building with a roof area of 1000 m2, the above costs are taken to consideration for the roof covering made of two thermoplastic asphalt torching polymer membrane layers and a new generation PVC thermoplastic film with a reinforcing layer. The input data presented in the article comes from the investor (the owner of the future facility) and from property managers responsible for the maintenance of facilities in regard to the purpose, volume and applied method.

The subject of the research is the analysis of the range of impact of the selected roof covering technology on the long-term costs of its maintenance. The aim of the research conducted by the authors is to indicate the possibility of reducing the costs related to the maintenance and elimination of a selected building structure (roof covering) in the assumed period of its operation for 70 years.
Can we distinguish between tree-ring eccentricity developed as a result of landsliding and prevailing winds? consequences for dendrochronological dating
Authors: Wistuba Małgorzata , Malik Ireneusz , Krąpiec Marek
Published: November 2018

The aim of our study was to compare patterns of tree-ring eccentricity developed in Norway spruce trees as a result of landsliding with the one caused by the prevailing wind (in 2 study sites), and with the normal growth of trees (in 2 reference sites). We sampled 20 trees per study site and 10 per reference site. Two cores were taken from each tree (120 cores in total) from the upslope and downslope, windward and leeward sides of stems. Ring widths measured on opposite sides of stems were compared using the method of percent eccentricity index. Graphs of the index obtained for individual trees were analysed. Statistical indicators were calculated for a percent eccentricity index. Disturbance events were dated and the response index was calculated. The results show that the patterns of eccentricity developed as a result of the prevailing winds and due to landsliding differ from one another and from the reference sites. The results suggest that the impact of the prevailing wind on tree growth is more severe than the impact of landsliding. The difference may result from the slow-moving character of the landslide under study. The results, however, indicate that wind impact should be taken into account in dendrogeomorphic research and that the impact of mass movements should be considered in dendroecological studies on wind.
A funny matter: Toward a framework for understanding the function of comedy in social change
Authors: Chattoo Caty Borum
Published: November 2018

Despite its cultural reach and influence, comedy may not be well-understood in communication and public engagement efforts for social justice challenges. Research about comedy’s influence in social issues exists across disciplines and lacks common language. This article creates a practical framework toward the understanding of mediated comedy in social change communication by presenting a typology of distinct formats of comedy – scripted entertainment, satire news, humorous ads, and stand-up comedy – and synthesizing multidisciplinary scholarship that deals with the role of comedy in audience understanding of civic and social issues. The resulting framework for comedy’s influence in social justice includes: attracting attention, persuasion, offering a way into complex issues, dissolving social barriers, and encouraging message sharing. Implications for leveraging comedy in social change public engagement efforts, as well as directions for future innovation and research, are discussed.
Deprivation of liberty or imprisonment? Metaphorical motivation of some terms in the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania and their translation into English
Authors: Šeškauskienė Inesa , Urbonaitė Justina
Published: November 2018

The paper sets out to examine the stability and motivation of collocations with the wordlaisvė‘liberty, freedom’ in theCriminal Code of the Republic of Lithuaniaand tendencies of their rendering into English. The methodology of research relies on the cognitive linguistic principles of embodiment, the understanding of metaphor in terms of cross-domain mappings, the relevance of context and frames. The results demonstrate very stable collocations in Lithuanian, all of which are metaphorically motivated and constitute legal terms. Their translation into English uncovers some tendencies of the same and different conceptualisation of such notions of criminal law as the restriction of liberty, deprivation of liberty, imprisonment and some others. The English terms, equivalents of the selected Lithuanian terms with the wordlaisvė, are much less metaphorical than could be expected.
Presuppositions as discourse strategies in court examinations
Authors: Li Jian , Sun Yuxiu
Published: November 2018

Based on the literature review of previous studies in court interaction, this paper tries to confine its discussion into a relatively detailed topic— presuppositions—in both direct examination and cross-examination. The primary aim is to examine the interaction between illocutionary acts, meaning and intentions in court discourse, which is helpful to understand the interaction between different discourse community in judicial system, while the ultimate goal is to investigate the balance between narrative and persuasion achieved by patterns of presuppositions, which are initiated by court questioners: prosecutors and lawyers. This paper finds in direct examination, presuppositions make evidence more admissible, witness more credible and therefore narrative more coherent, believable; in cross-examination, presuppositions are mainly used to challenge the credibility of the hostile witness and therefore deconstruct the narrative of the opposite lawyer. A presupposition is a method of verifying or challenging facts and credibility.
Endeavours towards a plain legal language: The case of Spanish in context
Authors: Alsina Naudi Anna
Published: November 2018

Implementing plain legal language is a project for those who are trying to build trust in legal systems all over the world. This paper aims at comparing successful policies in certain countries and describing the efforts made towards achieving a Spanish plain legal discourse. The paper lays out the definition of plain language, reviews the reluctance of professionals to make changes in legal language and specifies which legal documents are under discussion. The long-standing plain English movement and the positive Swedish example are considered, in combination with the ongoing developments of the German and French legal languages. It then analyses the legislative process within the European Union and uncovers the need for more collaboration between jurists and linguists. Adding to these case studies, this paper interrogates the contemporary state of legal Spanish. Despite institutional efforts in various countries, which are detailed in the last section, legal Spanish remains obscure and holds back the democratization of justice. Taking into account that Spanish is the second-most widely spoken language in the world and the wide use of the Internet for legal matters, the need to clarify legalese is more pressing than ever. The demand for trust in justice advances incessantly, but the implementation of a transparent legal discourse seems to be at a standstill.
The conceptual metaphors in law—a case analysis of PRC Company Law
Authors: Wang Xiaolu , Tu Yanjun
Published: November 2018

It is said that metaphor is often than not ignored in forensic language in respect of legislation, judiciary, law enforcement and dissemination, as people think that law is a rigorous discipline and legal language is rigid, and that the use of metaphor can make the law lose its accuracy and authority. Then what is the truth? Based on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), this study aims to investigate the conceptual metaphor in the cognitive domain of law. The authors have conducted a text analysis and a follow-up review on Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC Company Law for short) and extracted five categories of conceptual metaphor centering on A COMPANY IS A LEGAL PERSON, including its identity, rights, obligations, liabilities and relationship with other companies.
Evolution and issues of marine pollution law in China: From 1970s to 2018
Authors: Li Yingying
Published: November 2018

What’s responsibility Sanchi oil tanker should take under Chinese law? Under the initiative of the belt and one road, especially Maritime Silk Road, China Maritime Court has extended jurisdiction to cover all cases arising from seawater since 2016, which means that China Maritime Court has criminal and administrative jurisdiction in maritime affairs besides civil jurisdiction in the near future. The compound mode of jurisdiction is one of the most important steps in the judicial reform of China. This development will affect maritime legislation deeply, especially marine pollution law. China has made the great improvement in marine pollution legislation in the past forty-five years. However, due to the old administrative pattern of land-based strategy, “from many doors” becomes the difficult pyridoxine for practice; Chinese governments used to depending on the special regulations instead of Ocean Basic Law to regulate marine pollution act, there is no global law to regulate marine pollution act up to now. Based on the results of marine pollution cases judged or solved by the China Maritime Court, marine polluter only needs to pay economic damages and there is no criminal liability. For solving practical matters more efficiently and thoroughly, and for protecting the marine environment more globally, we’d better adjust administrative management pattern, make Ocean Basic Law, and set multiple liabilities for marine polluter and unify marine pollution legislation.
Dynamics of a Predator–Prey Model with Holling Type II Functional Response Incorporating a Prey Refuge Depending on Both the Species
Authors: Molla Hafizul , Sabiar Rahman Md. , Sarwardi Sahabuddin
Published: November 2018

We propose a mathematical model for prey–predator interactions allowing prey refuge. A prey–predator model is considered in the present investigation with the inclusion of Holling type-II response function incorporating a prey refuge depending on both prey and predator species. We have analyzed the system for different interesting dynamical behaviors, such as, persistent, permanent, uniform boundedness, existence, feasibility of equilibria and their stability. The ranges of the significant parameters under which the system admits a Hopf bifurcation are investigated. The system exhibits Hopf-bifurcation around the unique interior equilibrium point of the system. The explicit formula for determining the stability, direction and periodicity of bifurcating periodic solutions are also derived with the use of both the normal form and the center manifold theory. The theoretical findings of this study are substantially validated by enough numerical simulations. The ecological implications of the obtained results are discussed as well.
Vulgar Latin as an emergent concept in the Italian Renaissance (1435–1601): its ancient and medieval prehistory and its emergence and development in Renaissance linguistic thought
Authors: Eskhult Josef
Published: November 2018

This article explores the formation of Vulgar Latin as a metalinguistic concept in the Italian Renaissance (1435–1601) considering its continued, although criticized, use as a concept and term in modern Romance and Latin linguistics (1826 until the present). The choice of this topic is justified in view of the divergent previous modern historiography and because of the lack of a coherent historical investigation. The present study is based on a broad selection of primary sources, in particular from classical antiquity and the Italian Renaissance.

Firstly, this article traces and clarifies the prehistory of the concept of Vulgar Latin in ancient and medieval linguistic thought. Section 2 demonstrates that the concept of Vulgar Latin as a low social variety does not exist in pre-Renaissance linguistic thought.

Secondly, this article describes and analyzes how, why and when the concept of Vulgar Latin emerged and developed in the linguistic thought of the Italian Renaissance. Section 3 surveys the historical intellectual contexts of the debates in which this concept was formed, namelyquestione della linguain the Latin and Vernacular Italian Renaissances. Section 4 demonstrates how the ancient concept and term ofsermo vulgarisas a diaphasic variety was revived, but also modified, in the Latin Renaissance of the fifteenth century, when the leading humanists developed new ideas on the history, nature and variability of ancient Latin. Section 5 demonstrates how a diglossic concept of Vulgar Latin was formed in the vernacular Italian Renaissance of the sixteenth century, when Italian philologists more carefully approached the topic of the historical origin and emergence of Italian.

Thirdly, Section 6 presents a synthesis of the historiographical results that are attained and revises modern historiography on some important points.
On Cicero’s fine-grained perception of the prosodic features in Latin
Authors: Marotta Giovanna
Published: November 2018

The long tradition of philology and comparative linguistics acknowledges the distinctive value of vowel length in Latin phonology. However, to think of Latin as a spoken language, and not only as a literary one, implies the adoption of a sociolinguistic perspective based on the idea of variation, at all levels of grammar. In this view, with due caution, it is possible to argue that vowel length was unstableab antiquoin spoken Latin, at least in the low diaphasic and diastratic levels. In this view, the paper analyzes some passages by Cicero often interpreted as testimonies in favor of the maintenance of contrastive vowel length in the phonological competence of Roman speakers. In those passages, Cicero compares the performance of the orators in theforumto the one of the actors in the theater. This comparison is based on the idea that the competence in the phonetic and prosodic elements of language could determine the success of the locutory act in both communicative contexts. The detailed analysis of the texts suggests that the whistles of the audience in the theater of which Cicero speaks to us might refer to prosodic errors concerning the length of the verse rather than that of the vowel. Therefore, those testimonies could not be considered an evidence in favor of the fine-grained perception of vowel length by all the speakers of Latin.
Copular clause classification in Latin
Authors: Bortolussi Bernard
Published: November 2018

Starting from Higgins’s taxonomy, this paper investigates Latin copular constructions and in particular the existence of “specificational” copular clauses. Morphosyntactic and semantic criteria are put forward in order to make clear the status of copular clauses such as Hic est danista (Plaut. Epid. 621).
Quintilian, Inst. 1, 5, 40 on solecism and Apollonius Dyscolus
Authors: Callipo Manuela
Published: November 2018

Throughout the history of the Latin grammatical tradition barbarism is regularly described according to the system of the four categories of change known as quadripertita ratio, whereas the description of solecism is more controversial. In the grammatical chapters of his first book, Quintilian attests to the application of the fourfold system to solecism in his age, but he also knows a second tradition, which ends up becoming the predominant theory in Latin grammar and regards solecism as the fault by substitution (inmutatio). Quintilian attributes this tradition to some anonymous grammarians (quidam) who have not been identified yet. After considering Quintilian’s testimony in light of the Greek sources and especially Apollonius Dyscolus’ Syntax, we have concluded that Quintilian and Apollonius may rely on a common source, probably of Alexandrine descent, which separated solecism from the first three categories of change of the fourfold system (addition, subtraction and inversion of the regular word order).
Some remarks on the infinitivus indignantis. Is this label necessary?
Authors: Cuzzolin Pierluigi
Published: November 2018

The present paper focusses on the issue of the terminological labels used in grammatical descriptions and to what extent they are necessary. The label discussed here is the so-called infinitivus indignantis, mainly employed to express emotions like surprise, disdain, indignation. To this construction handbooks and grammars generally devote just a few lines. In this paper it will be shown that the syntactic features associated with this pattern occur with other similar constructions and are not exclusive thereof. The question is raised whether this pattern could be analyzed and subsumed under the category of mirativity. At the end of the analysis of this type of infinitive, it is claimed that infinitivus indignantis is not a necessary label.
On the use of facio as support verb in late and Merovingian Latin
Authors: Galdi Giovanbattista
Published: November 2018

Support verb constructions are documented throughout the history of Latin as well as other (typologically also irrelated) languages. As shown in several studies, such constructions are characterized by the presence of a support verb exhibiting a more or less reduced semantic force, and a predicative (abstract or verbal) noun that often constitutes its direct object. The present contribution deals, specifically, with the use offacioas support verb (as inbellum facere, iter facere, insidias facere, etc.), focussing on the post-classical and late period. In particular, three questions shall be investigated: (i) whether, and if yes, howfacioincreases its popularity in later centuries both in non-Christian and Christian sources; (ii) how is the spread of use offacio-support verb constructions in theMulomedicina Chironisand in theItinerarium Egeriaeto be accounted for; (iii) what type of semantic evolution does the verb undergo in later Latin and whether, in this respect, continuity or rupture should be assumed with regard to the archaic and classical periods. This last point will enable us to suggest a more convincing explanation for an often-quoted passage of Cicero (Phil. 3,22), in which the constructioncontumeliam facereoccurs.
Reading Latin and the need for empirical research: A psycholinguistic approach to reading comprehension in Latin
Authors: Bextermöller Delaram
Published: November 2018

The idea of reading Latin has been addressed by different teaching methods and theoretical approaches, but it has not been until recently that the reading process in Latin has become an object of empirical investigation. While qualitative research methods can examine the strategies consciously used by learners, experimental studies provide insight into the mental processes during reading. In psycholinguistics, the study of sentence processing forms an important strand of research which is also concerned with non-native processing. The present article discusses how psycholinguistic methodology can be used to investigate how Latin sentences are processed by learners.
Latin students’ bottom-up and top-down strategies for reading Latin literature and the impact of cross-linguistic influence
Authors: Boyd Rebecca M.
Published: November 2018

In an attempt to apply modern foreign language research and theory to the instruction of classical languages, this article describes the qualitative phase of a research study (Boyd, R. M. 2016.High school students’ comprehension strategies for reading Latin literature. Washington, D.C.: George Washington University doctoral dissertation.) on Latin reading comprehension strategies. First, there is a discussion of the linguistic factors that affect native English language readers of Latin, including cross-linguistic influence and negative syntactic transfer. Second, there is a review of the relevant literature on second language reading comprehension strategies, derived from empirically-tested reading strategies reported in modern second language research journals and described anecdotally in classics journals. Finally, there is a thorough description of the semi-structured interview that was conducted with twelve high school students to gather the Latin reading strategies they used during an authentic classroom reading comprehension assessment. Results showed that Latin students overall demonstrated a preference for bottom-up strategies when reading Latin, with limited transfer of top-down strategies due to insufficient Latin language proficiency. Students imposed English language patterns onto Latin texts, and negative English syntactic transfer hindered Latin reading comprehension.
How do Dutch adolescents translate Latin into coherent Dutch? A Journey into the Unknown
Authors: Luger Suzanne
Published: November 2018

This article discusses translation processes of proficient students who translate Latin fables into Dutch in secondary school. The participants performed two tasks on a computer. They translated a Latin fable and edited a Dutch translation of another Latin fable while their activities were monitored by eye-tracker, screencast and keystroke logging. Immediately after the tasks the participants were invited to view their eye-tracking film and retrace their thoughts at the time of translating (stimulated recall). The article focuses on the stimulated recall interviews, and more specifically on the role of revision in the translation process. It presents a case study of one participant, as well as the strategies participants described to have used in tackling two specific translation problems.

Data suggest that proficient participants rely on text comprehension rather than morphological knowledge to solve translation problems. The research shows three key elements as indicators for successful translation process resulting in a coherent target text: (1) a wide variety of problem-solving strategies and the ability to switch strategies, (2) the availability and use of metalanguage to verbalise the chosen strategy, and (3) revision of the target text.
Coupling configurations between extended surface electromagnetic waves and localized surface plasmons for ultrahigh field enhancement
Authors: Abdulhalim Ibrahim
Published: November 2018

Local enhancement of electromagnetic (EM) fields near dielectric and metallic surfaces is usually associated with the existence of a confined EM wave at least in one direction. This phenomenon finds applications in enhancing optical spectroscopic signals, optical emission, nonlinear optical processes, biosensing, imaging contrast and superresolution, photovoltaics response, local heating, photocatalysis, and enhanced efficiency of optoelectronic devices. A well-known example is when the surface electromagnetic wave (SEW) is excited at the interface of two media, the field gets enhanced normally to that interface. This article reviews the different configurations revealing enhanced EM fields, particularly those giving ultrahigh enhancement, such as when a localized SEW is excited not from free space but via an extended SEW. Of particular interest are surface plasmon waves (SPWs) excited at the surface of metal-dielectric and particularly when exciting localized SPWs using extended ones. The latter case so far gave the highest local field enhancement; however, configurations involving Bloch SEWs, guided mode resonances, and cavity resonances have also been shown to give significant enhancement when used to excite localized surface plasmons. With this strategy, field enhancement by more than an order of magnitude can be attained. Using this ultrahigh enhancement, the strong coupling experiments between molecules and the intense optical field will be possible and new devices may emerge from those new methodologies for ultrahigh sensitive sensing for environmental and medical applications, as well as for improved optoelectronic devices.

Published: November 2018

In this work, we report our efforts to develop a novel inorganic halide perovskite-based bi-functional light-emitting and photo-detecting diode. The bi-functional diode is capable of emitting a uniform green light, with a peak wavelength of 520 nm, at a forward bias of >2 V, achieving a high luminance of >103 cd/m2 at 7 V. It becomes an efficient photodetector when the bi-functional diode is operated at a reverse bias, exhibiting sensitivity over a broadband wavelength range from ultraviolet to visible light. The bi-functional diode possesses very fast transient electroluminescence (EL) and photo-response characteristics, e.g. with a short EL rising time of ~6 μS and a photo-response time of ~150 μS. In addition, the bi-functional diode also is sensitive to 520 nm, the wavelength of its peak EL emission. The ability of the bi-functional diodes for application in high speed visible light communication was analyzed and demonstrated using two identical bi-functional diodes, one performed as the signal generator and the other acted as a signal receiver. The dual functions of light emission and light detection capability, enabled by bi-functional diodes, are very attractive for different applications in under water communication and visible light telecommunications.

Metallic nanostructures with nanometer gaps support hybrid plasmonic modes with an extremely small mode volume and strong local field intensity, which constitutes an attractive plasmonic platform for exploring novel light-matter interaction phenomena at the nanoscale. Particularly, the plasmonic nanocavity formed by a metal nanoparticle closely separated from a thin metal film has received intensive attention in the nanophotonics community, largely attributed to its ease of fabrication, tunable optical properties over a wide spectral range, and the ultrastrong confinement of light at the small gap region scaled down to sub-nanometer. In this article, we review the recent exciting progress in exploring the plasmonic properties of such metal particle-on-film nanocavities (MPoFNs), as well as their fascinating applications in the area of plasmon-enhanced imaging and spectroscopies. We focus our discussion on the experimental fabrication and optical characterization of MPoFNs and the theoretical interpretation of their hybridized plasmon modes, with particular interest on the nanocavity-enhanced photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies, as well as photocatalysis and molecular nanochemistry.

Background

Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a drug-delivery method for patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM). The study objective was to investigate whether PIPAC is possible in an outpatient setting.

Methods

Data was extracted from the prospective PIPAC-OPC2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03287375). Patients with PM were treated by cisplatin and doxorubicin (PIPAC C/D), except patients with colorectal PM, who were treated by oxaliplatin (PIPAC OX). Patients were evaluated concerning the suitability for carrying out the PIPAC procedure in an out- patient setting. The preconditions for outpatient surgery were that the patient should be (1) freely mobilized, (2) adequately pain-relieved, (3) have untroubled urination and (4) without anxiety or discomfort caused by leaving the hospital.

Results

During the study period, 106 PIPAC procedures (79 PIPAC C/D, 27 PIPAC OX) were performed in 41 patients with gastrointestinal or ovarian PM. Ninety percent (37/41) of the patients were pretreated with systemic chemotherapy. Eight patients (20%) received bidirectional chemotherapy. Twenty-four percent (10/41) of the first PIPAC procedures were completed in an outpatient setting, which increased to 65% (13/20) in PIPAC no 3 (p=0.008). In the PIPAC C/D cohort, 28% and 80% of the PIPACs were performed in the outpatient setting at PIPAC 1 and 3 respectively, contrasting to only 11% and 20% in the PIPAC OX group. No readmissions after outpatient care. Postoperative morphine administration was more frequent in the PIPAC OX group.

Conclusions

The PIPAC procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting. The critical component for success is pain control.
Latinas for Trump Analysis of Processes of Identification and the Use of Narratives to Construct Subject-Positions
Authors: Zambrano Mayela
Published: November 2018

The public and commercial spheres constantly address the largest ethnic minority in the United States, people with ancestry or from a Latin American country, as a homogenous group under the ethnopolitical terms “Latinos,” “Hispanics,” and even “Mexicans.” This panethnic view, and the negative stereotypes associated with it, was especially visible during the 2016 presidential election. While the majority of Latinos found Donald Trump’s remarks on “Mexicans” offensive to the Latin community as a whole, a large number of people still supported his opinions, even those belonging to the “Latino” community. Even more so, women of Latino heritage still supported a nominee that went against their own advance in society given his constant misogynistic comments. In this essay, I analyze the groundings for this apparent contradiction in the preference for said candidate. I argue that these women’s political preference is a tool with which they build their identity in the U.S. Besides, I explore the ways in which individuals linguistically construct their own identity in three ways (i) by actively doing the identification instead of merely receiving it by an unknown agent; (ii) by choosing the self-representation of their preference, and (iii) by finding commonalities and bonding with other individuals they deem part of their group. Through this approach, I analyze semiotic processes, such as intertextuality, use of pronouns, and discourse alignment, that are used to construct identifications of the self that go beyond imposed categories, such as gender and ethnicity.

3Al3 series (RE=Y, Gd–Tm, Lu; T=Co, Ni) have been prepared by arc-melting the rare earth metals with appropriate amounts of TAl precursors. All compounds crystallize in the tetragonal crystal system with space group P42/nmc in the Gd14Co3In2.7-type structure.

The lattice parameters of all members have been refined from powder X-ray diffraction experiments. The Y and Lu containing compounds for T=Co and Ni exhibit Pauli paramagnetic behavior, indicating that the Co and Ni atoms exhibit no localized magnetic moment in line with a filled 3d band. The other compounds show paramagnetism, in line with the rare earth atoms in the trivalent oxidation state. Detailed magnetic investigations, however, were impossible due to the presence of e.g. RE

Yapılan araştırmalar kalite algısı ve marka imajında olduğu gibi yeşil kalite algısının ve yeşil marka imajının marka performansına pozitif etki yaptığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma ile yeşil kalite algısı ve yeşil marka imajının marka performans göstergelerinden olan daha fazla ödeme isteğine olan pozitif etkisini ortaya koymak, aynı zamanda yeşil göz boyamanın bu ilişkideki etkisini tespit etmek amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında belirlenen beyaz eşya markası ile ilgili 250 katılımcıya sorular yöneltilmiştir. Toplanan veriler regresyon analizi ile test edilmiş ve beklendiği gibi yeşil imaj algısı ve yeşil kalite algısı arttıkça tüketicilerin marka için daha fazla ödemeye razı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte marka ile ilgili yeşil göz boyama algısı yüksek olan tüketicilerde kalite ve imaj algısının etkisinin önemli ölçüde azaldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
