A POSSIBILIDADE DE UTILIZAÇÃO DO FAT TAX COMO MEDIDA PROTECIONISTA / THE POSSIBILITY OF USING THE FAT TAX AS A PROTECTIVE MEASURE
Authors: Anholete Adílio
Published: January 2019

Diante do aumento nos gastos públicos para materialização das garantias fundamentais envoltas ao acesso a um sistema de saúde, ocasionados pela má alimentação, alguns países instituíram um tributo – Fat Tax, a fim de proporcionalmente destinar os gastos aos consumidores responsáveis por tal medida. Devido ao caráter subjetivo que envolve a classificação do que poderia ser objeto da tributação ou não, é possível questionar a validade da medida e sua utilização como uma medida protecionista, apto a violar o multilateralismo e lesões ao comércio internacional, exigindo um estudo para lapidação do instrumento fiscal em questão.
Metodologias Ativas na formação profissional em saúde: uma revisão
Authors: Colares Karla Taísa Pereira , Oliveira Wellington De
Published: January 2019

A formação profissional em saúde, historicamente, tem sido baseada em métodos de ensino tradicionais, fundamentados numa formação conteudista e tecnicista. No entanto, nas últimas décadas, tem se discutido a respeito da eficiência desse modelo em formar profissionais com espírito crítico reflexivo, aptos a resolver problemas na sua realidade, conforme previsto pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN’s). Neste contexto, se abrem as discussões sobre o uso de metodologias ativas na formação profissional em saúde. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a produção científica sobre o uso de metodologias ativas na formação profissional em saúde. Pretende se ainda, discorrer brevemente sobre a formação e atuação do docente da área de saúde. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa realizada a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica em artigos científicos indexados nas bases de dados Scielo, e Capes Periódicos, livros, documentos públicos e outras publicações de cunho científico disponíveis on-line. A literatura tem se reportado às metodologias ativas como estratégia relevante no Ensino em Saúde, capaz de estimular no discente a autonomia, a reflexão, a criticidade e a capacidade de solucionar impasses, aproximando o conhecimento teórico e técnico da realidade. Apesar do crescente movimento para o uso dessas metodologias, evidencia-se uma predominância ao ensino tradicional. O uso das metodologias ativas constitui ainda um desafio, pois, requer a ruptura de paradigmas e revela uma ausência e/ ou deficiência na formação pedagógica dos docentes. Percebe-se ainda, uma escassez de estudos que abordem os aspectos avaliativos bem como, o nível de satisfação dos estudantes da saúde no âmbito das metodologias ativas.

Published: January 2019

Aim: This study was conducted to study the coagulase (coa) gene-based genetic diversity of Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from different samples of cattle from three different regions in East Java Province, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: A total of 160 raw milk samples collected in East Java Province, Indonesia, were screened for the presence of S. aureus. The presumptive isolates were confirmed by coa test. The confirmed S. aureus isolates were subjected to coa gene polymerase chain reaction. Results: Of 160 different samples, 20 (12.5%) isolates of S. aureus were confirmed by positive coa test. Of 20 S. aureus isolates, 19 (95%) isolates carried coa gene. Six different genotypes of coa gene, i.e., 440 bp, 510 bp, 547 bp, 680 bp, 740 bp, and 820 bp were obtained. One coa genotypes, 510 bp (10 isolates) were observed in polymorphism to be more prevalent than the others, and the genotype was present in at least one isolates from every region. Conclusion: It can be concluded that coa gene is easily epidemiological tool for detection of variation strain from S. aureus.

Published: January 2019

The Lesser Sundas Region continues to be widely unexplored even in such relatively well-known animal groups as birds (Aves). We report the results of an ornithological expedition from November through December 2015 to Timor, Alor and Rote islands along with some opportunistic observations made in that area between 2006 to 2015, providing details on numerous first records of bird species outside their previously known geographic or elevational ranges observed or otherwise recorded during this expedition. Our results underscore the fragmentary nature of our knowledge of the composition of the avifauna of the Lesser Sunda Islands, and demonstrate that there continues to be a large volume of significant new records and range extensions of birds on these islands.
Notes on ecology of wild goffin’s cockatoo in the late dry season with emphasis on feeding ecology
Authors: Mioduszewska Berenika Monika , O’Hara Mark Christopher , Haryoko Tri , Auersperg Alice Marie Isabel , Huber Ludwig , Prawiradilaga Dewi Malia
Published: January 2019

Experimental work on captive Goffin’s cockatoos (Cacatua goffiniana) has highlighted the remarkable cognitive abilities of this species. However, little is known about its behavior in the natural habitat on the Tanimbar Archipelago in Indonesia. In order to fully understand the evolutionary roots leading to cognitively advanced skills, such as multi-step problem solving or flexible tool use and manufacture, it is crucial to study the ecological challenges faced by the respective species in the wild. The three-month expedition presented here aimed at gaining first insights into the cockatoos’ feeding ecology and breeding behavior. We could confirm previous predictions that Goffin’s cockatoos are opportunistic foragers and consume a variety of resources (seeds, fruit, inflorescence, roots). Their breeding season may be estimated to start between June and early July and they face potential predation from ground and aerial predators. Additionally, the observational data provide indications that Goffin’s cockatoos are extractive foragers, which together with relying on multiple food sources might be considered a prerequisite of tool use.

Authors: Bangun Kristaninta , Chen Zung Chung
Published: January 2019

Background: Neurofibroma is a major facial hamartoma and is one of the most destructive and debilitating disease affecting the skin, muscle, mucosa, and the skeletal systems. Involvement of the ear usually increases the dimensions of the auricular skin and underlying tissues, distorts normal architecture along with auricular malpositioning, producing an ear that is abnormal in size, shape and position. The correction of the auricle in neurofibroma and benign tumors of the head and neck has been reported, but overall favorable results appear difficult to attain. We present a case of neurofibroma of the auricle in which radical resection was performed, and reconstruction was done in a two-stage surgery with satisfactory result. Patient and Methods: A 30 years-old female presented with type-1 neurofibroma to our office, especially concerned of a large tumor growth on the right auricle. With prior experience in treating microtia cases by Nagata’s method, we performed a two-stage operation on the patient. The first operation involved excising the whole auricular mass, and fabricating as well as grafting of a three-dimensional costal cartilage framework. In the second stage, the ear was elevated.Result: Nine months after the second surgery, the result was satisfactory with good auricular definition attained, and proper elevation of the ear at the correct anatomical site. No sign of neurofibroma recurrence was found on the surrounding reconstructed auricle.Summary: In our experience, the correction Neurofibroma of the ear by using the aggressive tumor removal principle combined with Nagata’s two-stage total ear reconstruction delivered a satisfactory result.

Authors: Sari Tessa Puspita , Sudjatmiko Gentur
Published: January 2019

Background: Gynecomastia is a common problem of the male breast, with a reported overall incidence of 32 to 36 percent. The surgical management of gynecomastia has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, from a predominantly open approach to one involving liposuction only or liposuction combined with direct excision through a periareolar or remote incision. Patients and Method: We present five cases with bilateral gynecomastia. One patient is a teenager and others are adult males. Liposuction only was performed in patients without palpable glandular breast mass. Direct excision was made to help remove the excessive glandular breast mass. The compressive garment is worn for 4 to 6 weeks after procedure to prevent the complications of the surgical procedure.Result: Three of the patients are corrected with liposuction only. There are two patients who underwent combination of open excision and liposuction. The liposuction procedure only left minimal scar from canulas incision. Other patient has minimal periareolar incision to remove excess breast tissue. None of the patients showed complication after surgery.Summary: All of the patients presented were satisfied by the correction of gynecomastia using liposuction. None of the patients shows any complication after liposuction procedure. The result after surgery is a natural-looking chest without extensive scar. The patients appreciate the early return to work and normal physical activities.
Pectoralis Major Musculocutaneous Flap and Splitthickness Skin Graft for The Reconstruction of Pharyngocutaneous Fistula After Total Laryngeal Resection
Authors: Atmodiwirjo Parintosa , Pribadi Sweety
Published: January 2019

Background: Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most frequent complication in the early postoperative period after total laryngectomy. Most PCF respond well to conservative management, but when it fails and the fistula persists surgical closure in indicated. Patients and Methods: Sixty-five year-old male was consulted to our division following total laryngectomy by the Ear Nose Throat surgeons, with wound dehiscence and pharyngocutaneous fistula. We performed a pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap (PMMCF) to close the fistula after a failed conservative management. The skin island of PMMCF was used as an inner lining to close the laryngeal fistula, the exteriorized muscle part of the "ap was then covered by skin graft.Results: PMMCF is a technically simple and reliable distant musculocutaneous pedicled flap to cover defect on the neck area. The skin island of the flap provided an adequate air-thight cover and successfully closed the laryngeal fistula.Summary: PCF is a problematic complication resulting from the resection of head and neck tumor. Early diagnosis and proper multidisciplinary management is required to prevent further morbidity. PMMCF is a simple, easy to perform and reliable option for closure of PCF.
Computer Simulation Aided Study of a Real-time Energy Benchmarking Parameter for Lift Systems under different Traffic Control Schemes
Authors: So Albert Ting Pat , Chan Ricky , Kaczmarczyk Stefan
Published: January 2019

At present, there are benchmarking parameters to assess the energy performance of lifts, e.g. one in Germany adopted by VDI (4707-1/2), one internationally published by ISO (BS EN ISO 25745-2:2015), and the other in Hong Kong adopted by The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government.  These parameters are mainly checking and governing the energy consumed by a lift drive without considering real time passenger demands and traffic conditions, the one in Hong Kong pinpointing a fully loaded up-journey under rated speed while the two in Europe pinpointing a round trip, bottom floor to top floor and return with an empty car, though including energy consumed by lighting, displays, ventilation etc.  A holistic normalization method (So et al 2005, Lam et al 2006) was developed more than ten years ago by the first author of this article, which can simultaneously assess both drive efficiency and traffic control performance, termed  which is the name of the parameter measured in unit, J/kgm, and is now adopted by the HKSAR Government as a good practice in the Technical Guidelines of the Energy Code, but not yet enforced in the mandatory code.  In Europe, the energy unit of Wh has been used but here, the unit of Joule (J), i.e. Ws, is adopted to discriminate the difference between the two concepts.  In this article, such parameter is evaluated under different drives and lift traffic control scenarios by using computer simulations, with the aim of arriving at a reasonable figure for benchmarking an energy efficient lift system with both an efficient drive as well as an efficient supervisory traffic control. This parameter could also compare the performance of different types of intelligent car dispatcher.
The Current Immunoassays and Merging immunogenomic Approaches for Immunomonitoring Cancer and Infectious Diseases
Authors: Zhang Xi , Zhang Xi , Wang Yan , Ouyang Qin , Levy Hara , Levy Hara , Levy Hara
Published: January 2019

As remarkable advances have been made in immunotherapies, the overall goal of immunotherapy has become the selection of patients and evaluating the benefits of treatment. One of the major obstacles to develop immunotherapies is the lack of effective immune monitoring. Monitoring of key changes in the immune system during immunotherapy (immunomonitoring) provides important insights into efficacy as well as the immune mechanisms of response at the molecular and cellular levels. Immunomonitoring techniques include traditional immunoassays that use specific antibodies to recognize the analytes of interest, new high-throughput immunoassays that target immune cells and nucleic acids, and less classical immunogenomic approaches that rely on genome-wide profiling and computational analysis on various types of clinical samples. Substantial progress has been made in the application of immunomonitoring strategies to pre-clinical and clinical studies, especially for patients with cancer and infectious diseases. Current and emerging immunoassays performed in clinical practice will be examined herein, and immunogenomic approaches that complement these techniques will be highlighted and compared with traditional methods. Finally, we will discuss several new computational methods for analyzing gene signatures for immunomonitoring, including gene expression data profiling by microarray, the nCounter technique, regular RNA-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq. Novel immunomonitoring techniques, especially immunogenomic approaches, will continue to be developed to facilitate assessment of immunotherapeutic response and predict patient outcomes in cancer and infectious disease.
Weitergeben. Theater mit Kindern für Erwachsene als Generationsverhältnis: Milo Raus Five Easy Pieces
Authors: Westphal Kristin
Published: January 2019

In Bildungseinrichtungen wie dem Theater spielt das Weitergeben von Traditionen, Wissen und Praktiken eine grundlegende Rolle, indem die Älteren den Jüngeren ihr Wissen, ihre Traditionen etc. weitergeben. Für die Pädagogik stellt sich das Problem, dass Erziehen und Bilden auf eine unbestimmte Zukunft für den Zuerziehenden hin ausgerichtet ist, von der keiner wissen kann, wie sie sich gestalten wird. Im Theater kann mit diesen Möglichkeiten gespielt werden. Verfolgt wird die These, dass ein Weitergeben eine Umwandlung im Sinne einer Responsivität zu verstehen ist. Geben und Nehmen als ein verschränktes Verhältnis bedeutet dann weniger ein Ansichnehmen, sondern im Sinne von Levinas ein Aufsichnehmen und Übernehmen. Vor diesem Hintergrund soll am Beispiel von Milo Raus Five Easy Pieces eine Theaterarbeit mit Kindern für Erwachsene im Generationsverhältnis genauer erörtert und befragt werden.
Nichttun als Gabe?
Authors: Seitz Hanne
Published: January 2019

Am Beispiel von Inszenierungen und Performances von Xavier le Roy, Tino Sehgal und Marina Abramovic wird die »Gabe des Nichttuns« als Korrektiv einer ausschließlich auf das aktive Handeln konzentrierten Sichtweise beschrieben. Die künstlerischen Arbeiten rücken die Passivität und damit verbunden die Verschränkung von Lassen und Tun ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit; sie geben Zeit, was zuletzt auch als Absage an eine durch Beschleunigung beherrschte Gesellschaft verstanden werden kann. Nichttun heißt keinesfalls, nichts zu tun, sondern von sich abzusehen. Eine Ästhetik des Unterlassens, die der Unverfügbarkeit der Gabe Rechnung trägt, kommt am Ende nicht umhin, nach den Grenzen des Menschlichen zu fragen.
Gender und Biopolitik
Authors: Fütty Tamás Jules
Published: January 2019

Das Zweigeschlechtermodell ist schon lange ein umkämpfter Schauplatz von Transformation sowie Versuchen der Fixierung binärer Identitätskonzepte. Tamás Jules Joshua Fütty geht der Frage nach, was Normen mit Geschlecht, Gewalt, Staatlichkeit und Biopolitik zu tun haben. Im Gegensatz zu der Reduktion auf ›transphobe Hassgewalt‹ wird ein erweitertes Gewaltverständnis begründet: als normative und intersektionale Gewalt, die v.a. über Recht und Medizin institutionell verankert ist und ungleiche Lebenschancen für Trans*Menschen hervorbringt. Innerhalb bestehender Sicherheitsdispositive und ihrer Grenzregime sind mehrfachdiskriminierte Trans*Menschen besonders stark für lebensbedrohliche Gewalt und vorzeitigen Tod exponiert.
Stanisław Brzozowski and Die Neue Zeit
Authors: Gángó Gábor
Published: January 2019

Stanislaw Brzozowski's contribution to Die Neue Zeit (The New Times), »Der Geschichtsmaterialismus als Kulturphilosophie: Ein philosophisches Programm« (Historical Materialism as Philosophy of Culture: A Philosophical Project), has long been known to scholars. The original Polish version, which was published in Przeglad Spoleczny (Social Review) and in Brzozowski's book Idee (Ideas), has been subject to intensive analysis. In this paper, I will argue that although the German version of the article does not considerably enrich Brzozowski's work from a strictly thematic point of view, it cannot be dismissed as a re-issue either. The circumstances of its publication in Die Neue Zeit, the theoretical journal of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), do help us to understand Brzozowski's intellectual and political dilemmas, especially in regards to his personal relationship with German and Polish Social Democracy between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the outbreak of the »Brzozowski affair« in early 1908, when he abruptly abandoned all efforts to gain an international reputation. Thus, this article challenges the commonly held view on the lamentable ignorance of Brzozowski outside of Polish literature through the contextual reconstruction of the story of his sole appearance in the most important forum of German Social Democracy.

What is “Masculinity”? Conceptual Keys to Critical Studies in Men and Masculinities
Authors: Zdravomyslova Elena A. , Temkina Anna A.
Published: January 2019

This article focuses on the key categories, which define the field of Critical Men’s Studies, widely used in gender studies and even emerge in public discourse. We consider the central concept of this field of knowledge — “hegemonic masculinity” — and its use to analyze the hierarchies of “subordinated” and “marginalized” masculinities. We also analyze such discursive derivative constructs of “hegemonic masculinity” as the “crisis of masculinity” and the metaphor of “angry white men”. As a result, these conceptual keys allow us to comprehend the intersectional turn in modern gender studies, which is so difficult to explain to public.
Mobile devices as a tool for establishing work — life balance: the downside
Authors: Son Hyun Ik , Chernova Zhanna V.
Published: January 2019

Modern corporate culture in the context of Bauman's liquid modernity is greatly defined by the level of freedom, in particular, flexibility, mobility, new technologies and mass communications.  Staying connected 24/7 both in professional and private life known as ‘hyperconnectivity’ becomes commonplace. Hyperconnectivity entails not only positive but also negative consequences regarding the effectiveness of an individual’s work as well as the work of entire organizations.  The purpose of the article is to consider the negative aspects of the use of mobile devices as a way to establish work-life balance in the context of modern liquidity. Individual’s ‘right to disconnect’ minimizing the adverse effects of hyper connectivity is essential to the analysis of the issue. The right to disconnect is a new addition to the list of labor rights allowing an individual to disconnect from the work primarily by switching off e-mail or disabling work-related messages during non-working hours. To study the need to introduce ‘the right to disconnect’ and to achieve a better work-life balance the authors examine the labor practices in South Korea and two European countries (Germany and France).

Attractiveness of megalopolis public spaces as evaluated by its residents (through the example of shopping and entertainments centers and park zones of Yekaterinburg)
Authors: Notman Olga V. , Bagirova Anna P.
Published: January 2019

This paper presents an analysis of the perceptions of public spaces by megalopolis’ residents. The research aim was to reveal the degree and criteria of urban public spaces’ attractiveness (shopping and entertainment centers and park zones), as well as to identify demographic and socio-economic determinants of residents’ preferences. Based on the results of a survey of Yekaterinburg residents (N=3570), the authors draw up the attractiveness rating of the objects on the city map where the positions are justified in terms of basic characteristics of focal public spaces (accessibility, multifunctionality, "service" equipment, etc.) and propose a typology of public spaces’ consumers according to a variety of objects needed for multiple public activities. The authors reveal explicit disparities in the practices of public spaces’ use.  Choices of shopping and entertainment centers depend on respondent’s age and wealth status. Choices of recreation facilities depend on respondent’s occupation, education level, wealth status, whether respondents have pre-school or school-age children. The more active users of one type of urban public spaces tend to use the other one more frequently. The practical significance of the obtained results is connected with the possibility to use them for the improvement of certain objects and for municipal strategic planning and development in general.
Acknowledgment. The study was part of the research project “Formation of the concept of prospective development of community areas of the municipal settlement “the city of Yekaterinburg” until 2035 (municipal contract № 15/2016-2 dated November 17th, 2016).

Life chances of population in capitals and provinces in mass consciousness
Authors: Mareeva Svetlana V.
Published: January 2019

In the article, based on the empirical data of all-Russian representative studies, the problem of perception of life chances in different types of settlements in mass consciousness is analyzed. It is shown that the image of the provinces in terms of life chances available to their residents is characterized in the mass consciousness by the opportunities to create a fairly comfortable microcosm, while life in capitals, in views of Russians, gives a wider range of life opportunities associated with different types of goals. Compared with 2003, the main trend in this regard was the convergence of perception of the opportunities that exist in capitals and provinces, i.e. a decrease in the acuity of settlement inequality in mass consciousness. The belief in more advantageous life in capitals in terms of the life opportunities is clearly dominant among Russians, and the residents of the capitals are more satisfied with various aspects of their life and higher assess the existing life chances (which go beyond material well-being and consumption). However, the degree of realization of their own life plans is lower for the capital residents than for residents of the provinces. Moreover, life in capitals is associated not only with a wider space of life opportunities, but also with the greater prevalence of certain risks associated with non-monetary aspects of life.

Studi kekar tiang di Situs Pajangan yang baru tersingkap pada tahun 2016 masih memerlukan penelitian lanjut yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui petrogenesis hasil magmatisme serta karakteristik kekar tiang Bukit Pajangan.Penelitian ini mencakup survey observasi lapangan, analisis petrografi, dan analisis karakteristik kekar tiang. Observasi lapangan meliputi pemetaan geologi Situs Pajangan dan sekitarnya, pengambilan orientasi kekar tiang, kemiringan kekar tiang, dan pengambilan sampel batuan. Analisis petrografi dilakukan untuk mengetahui tekstur dan persentase mineral. Analisis karakteristik kekar tiang dapat mengetahui geometri kekar tiang, orientasi kekar tiang, dan arah pendinginan magma saat membentuk Bukit Pajangan.Litologi penyusun daerah penelitian dari tua ke muda yaitu, intrusi basalt, lava andesit, breksi andesit, dan endapan aluvial. Seluruh sampel batuan di Bukit Pajangan ditentukan sebagai Andesit Basaltik. Orientasi kekar di daerah penelitian membentuk derajat kemiringan sebesar 0o-45o, diasumsikan sebagai kemiringan magma saat mengintrusi. Magmatisme pada saat pembentukan andesit basaltik secara umum dikontrol oleh fraksinasi kristal dan pencampuran magma, sedangkan komposisi mineralnya mengindikasikan hasil aktivitas Gunung Gajah yang memiliki tipe magma menengah-basa. Karakteristik kekar tiang pada Situs Pajangan adalah tipe subdivisi kekar tiang lower colonnade dan hasil aktivitas intrusi dangkal.

Published: January 2019

A study on diversity, seasonal occurrence, distribution percentage of microalgal taxa and physico-chemical parameters of five community ponds, located in Chinsurah town, Hooghly district of West Bengal, has been carried out. Correlation between occurrence of microalgal genera and some parameters of environment, physico-chemical nature of natural water bodies were explored by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Diversity indices have been calculated using PAST software program. A total of 23 microalgal taxa belonging to four algal classes were recorded and the study indicated that the microalgal diversity vary with variation in physico-chemical parameters of water and light intensity. Out of these genera, occurrence of Chodatella sp. in late summer and Tetrallantos sp. and Synechocystis sp. in winter season were specific. In CCA, multiple variables (dissolved oxygen, water temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, light intensity and inorganic phosphorous) played a significant role in occurrence of microalgal taxa. Observation concluded that the Chlorophycean members were dominant throughout the study period and the Shannon–Wiener diversity index was highest for a site with large number of Chlorophycean member. This study will help in future to assess water quality.

Published: January 2019

This paper puts forward a new method for measuring the three-dimensional deformation of warp-knitted spacer fabrics under tensile stress. The three-dimensional deformation mechanisms of warp-knitted spacer fabrics have been analyzed using stress–strain curves. Poisson’s ratio of the three-dimensional deformation has also been analyzed. The stress–strain curves obtained for tests in the warp-ward direction and weft-ward direction show a characteristic initial large deformation, followed by minimal-to-no deformation. The stress–strain curves obtained for tests in the thickness direction exhibit different characteristics due to the differences in stretch directions. In the weft-ward direction, the curve shows an approximate linear change with minimal strain. In the warp-wise direction, the curve shows a large stress with small strain, and subsequently, a small stress yielded a large strain. During the stretching process, the surface deformation perpendicular to the direction of tensile force is greater than the tensile deformation, and the deformation in the thickness direction is also minimal compared to that in the direction of the tensile deformation.
The European Union Digital Single Market—Challenges and Impact for the EU Neighbourhood States
Authors: Nyman-Metcalf Katrin , Papageorgiou Ioannis F.
Published: January 2019

The digital single market is one of the most important objectives and challenges for the European Union. However, given that digitalisation implies a borderless world it requires a different form of governance and has distinctive features from other aspects of the single market. In addition, it raises a number of practical and political issues for countries outside the EU, but which maintain close economic and trade relations with the latter. The article examines the regulatory implications of the digital world from the point of view of states involved in the European Neighbourhood Policy, in particular Georgia, and looks into the future challenges in this process.
Cultural Leadership and Entrepreneurship As Antecedents of Estonia’s Singing Revolution and Post-Communist Success
Authors: Nicoara Olga
Published: January 2019

The Baltic people of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia gained recognition with their successful use of a cultural tool, singing folkloric songs, to protest collectively against their common Soviet oppressor in the summer of 1988, preceding the collapse of the Soviet Union. Rational-choice theorists have argued that large rebellious movements are paradoxical because the larger the number of potential revolutionaries, the greater the leadership, participation, and coordination problems they face (Olson, 1971; Tullock, 1974). This paper investigates Estonia’s Singing Revolution and illustrates how ethnic Estonians used their shared cultural beliefs and singing traditions as a tacit, informal institutional solution to overcome the collective-action problems with organizing and participating in mass singing protests against the Soviet regime. The paper goes further to extend the standard rational-choice framework and to include a more dynamic, entrepreneurial-institutional perspective on socio-cultural change by accounting for the role of cultural leaders as cultural entrepreneurs, a subset of institutional entrepreneurs. The success of Estonia’s Singing Revolution can be ultimately attributed to leadership in the form of cultural entrepreneurship going back to pre-Soviet Estonian times. The revived legacy of ancient shared beliefs, folkloric practices, and singing tradition represented the necessary social capital for the Estonian people to voice collectively shared preferences for political and economic governance during a window of constitutional opportunity. Mikhail Gorbachev’s Glasnost, a policy aimed to improve Soviet formal institutions by fostering freedom of speech and political transparency, also provided a context propitious for the Singing Revolution because it lowered the perceived costs of participation in the rebellious singing and opened a window of opportunity for political change.
.eu regulations under Brexit
Authors: Sinisalo Touko Johannes
Published: January 2019

On 28 March 2018, the European Commission published a press release stating that there is a plan to revoke all.eu domains owned by the United Kingdom’s individuals and entities due to Britain’s exit from the European Union. The article highlights issues related to the process of the UK leaving the EU, gives examples from other fields of the Union law and the national law of the Member States which have experienced similar situations and also points out the fundamental rights that the Commission needs to comply with. The basics of domain names are also partially covered to inform the reader about what domain names are based on and of existing regulations in the field.
Dissipating the Political: Battersea Power Station and the Temporal Aesthetics of Development
Authors: Vijay Ameeth
Published: January 2019

This article analyses the idiom of “placemaking” in contemporary development, specifically considering the Battersea Power Station development in south London. It argues that the recourse to a highly aestheticised concept of place allows development to mediate the structural transformations they are enacting and create a narrative and discourse about development that deflects and dissipates political critique. In order for public-private “regeneration” to proceed as the default mode of urbanisation for contemporary London, developers need to not only create sound investments but also produce a hegemonic cultural narrative that articulates the stakes of their interventions in ways that make them not just compelling but inarguable and inevitable. Three modes of conceptualising the redeveloped city are considered: the concept of place, the aesthetic of the garden and rhetoric of sustainability, and the ethos of creativity. Together, these constitute a vision for the future technological city that seeks to render political disagreement marginal if not unthinkable.
Fifty Years of Moment Technique for Dynamic Analysis of Chemical Reactor Parameters
Authors: Doğu Gülşen , Doğu Timur
Published: January 2019

Moment technique has been extensively used for the evaluation of the rate and equilibrium parameters in chemical reactors and also in adsorption vessels, for about five decades. Adsorption and reaction rate parameters, as well as axial dispersion constants, effective diffusivities within porous catalysts and heat and mass transfer coefficients were shown to be effectively evaluated by analyzing the moments of the response peaks, which could be obtained from pulse-response experiments performed in a reaction/adsorption vessel. A detailed review of chromatographic processes, involving moment analysis of adsorption equilibrium and rate constants in fixed beds, dynamic analysis of batch adsorbers, moment analysis of fluidized bed, slurry and trickle bed reactors are reported in this manuscript. Applications of the single-pellet moment technique, which was developed for the effective investigation of intrapellet rate and equilibrium processes, by eliminating the contributions of axial dispersion and external transport parameters, are comprehensively discussed. Recent studies for the analysis of reaction rate parameters using the TAP reactor approach, use of single pellet system for the investigation of catalytic and non-catalytic solid-gas reactions and extension of the moment technique to non-linear systems opened new pathways in reaction engineering research.
Assessing productivity in contact: Italian derivation in Maltese
Authors: Saade Benjamin
Published: January 2019

Studies assessing morphological productivity almost exclusively focus on single languages. Maltese with its heavily mixed Arabic/Italian/Sicilian/English lexicon lends itself perfectly for a broadening of the study of morphological productivity towards a more crosslinguistic approach. Numerous derivational formatives that have been borrowed from Sicilian and Italian into Maltese are readily applied in new formations. This study investigates the degree to which these borrowed formatives have developed new productivity patterns in Maltese or just replicated patterns that are present in the source language. After a detailed typology of possible formations with the borrowed formatives, the investigation compares quantitative productivity scores for a subset of cognate derivational affixes in Maltese and Italian based on corpus data and lays out a general methodological framework for comparing productivity crosslinguistically. The approach has the potential to enrich the methodological repertoire of language contact studies by enabling more detailed statements about the status of borrowed morphology in a recipient language.
Syntactic structures of Mandarin purposives
Authors: Liao Wei-wen Roger , Lin Tzong-hong Jonah
Published: January 2019

This paper investigates three constructions in Mandarin, all of which convey a purposive/teleological meaning, including thelaipurposive, thehaopurposive, and the bare purposive. Despite the fact that each type of purposive clause in Mandarin occurs at the right edge of a sentence, it is argued that none of the purposive clause is a genuine right adjunct in the underlying syntactic structure. On the other hand, our analysis shows that thelaipurposive employs complementation of a secondary predicate, thehaopurposive involves conjunction of two clauses, and the bare purposive should be analyzed as left adjunction that is stranded in the right edge after verb movement. The evidence for our analysis is drawn from subject and object gaps, theba-construction in Mandarin, agentivity, and linear ordering of multiple purposive clauses. This work thus demonstrates representative cases where a structure that appears to involve right adjunction may in fact employ no right adjunction at all. The conclusion is thus consistent with the prediction of Linear Correspondence Axiom (LCA).
