EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON CONTINUOUS BEAM TYPE SQUARE CFST BEAM-TO-COLUMN CONNECTION
Authors: Fujinaga Takashi , Clifton Charles G.
Published: March 2020

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are used widely as building structure components because of their good performance. It can be complex, however, to connect beams into CFST columns, especially when rigid beam-to-column connections are required. In order to simplify the fabrication requirements and cost of these connections, a continuous beam type connection through the column is proposed. This can develop the full plastic moment capacity of the beam. In this paper, the experiment testing results of two types of CFST beam-to-column connection specimens are presented and the connection performance and load transfer mechanisms are examined. The continuous beam type connection performance is compared to that of traditionally used through-diaphragm type of connection, which is more complex and demanding to fabricate. Both specimens showed good seismic performance, exhibiting stable hysteretic behavior with high energy absorption. The maximum experimental strength exceeded the calculated value. For a continuous beam type specimen, there is the potential for the column flange to be affected by the local deformation from the steel beam under bending induced beam tension. However, such effects were not observed in practice until late in the test after extensive beam plastic action had occurred.
FRP-FLEXURAL STRENGTHENING OF STEEL BEAMS: A FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS STUDY
Authors: Regmi Bagale Bibek , Parvin Azadeh
Published: March 2020

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening has been widely used for concrete structures. However, limited studies have been conducted on its application to steel structures. The use of FRP materials to retrofit steel members is an effective replacement for welded or bolted steel plates and offer high strength-to-weight ratio, resilience to environmental degradation, and a robust fatigue performance. Past studies have shown that the application of FRP to steel is a promising technical solution to help against corrosion and also to increase the load carrying capacity of steel members. In the present study, finite element analysis (FEA) model of a steel beam strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates was developed using ANSYS Mechanical finite element software program. The model was validated by comparing the FEA and experimental results of an existing study in the literature and they were in good agreement. A parametric study was conducted on the validated steel beam model with the aim to investigate the effects of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) and two types of adhesives on its performance under static loading. The FRP laminates provided an increase in flexural capacity and pseudo ductility of the beams. The optimum bond length was found to be 2/5 of the span length for the beam in this study.
GOVERNMENT ROLES IN PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS PROCUREMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURES: THEORETICAL APPROACH
Authors: Ojelabi Rapheal Abiodun , Fagbenle Olabosipo Ishola , Amusan Lekan Muritala , Afolabi Adedeji Olushola
Published: March 2020

Social and economic infrastructures provision has been the sole responsibility of the government in the time past. However, due to the geometric demand in human infrastructures needs, the government supply capacity has been constrained. The inability of the government to close the infrastructural gaps is due to the inequality in financial capacity and the financial worth of social and economic infrastructures. Despite the paucity of the fund required for infrastructures provisions in government, the need for social and economic infrastructures cannot wait due to its relevance in nation-building. The innovative approach to meeting the social and economic infrastructures is engineered through the adoption of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) procurement option. The procurement option is a sure route through which infrastructural provision can be sustained. This paper reviews literature on Public-Private Partnership by buttressing on the expected roles of the government through the Governance theory concept.
INFLUENCE OF PROJECT PREPARATION QUALITY ON THE PROJECT OUTCOME: A QUALITATIVE APPROACH
Authors: Hofstadler Christian , Kummer Markus
Published: March 2020

To achieve the targets of all project key stakeholders, construction projects, in particular, require sufficiently long preparation and execution periods that go beyond ensuring project break-even. Assessing the break-even, or commercial viability, of a project directly depends on its complexity and underlying conditions. Time and funds are necessary to achieve a sufficiently high quality in construction project management, planning, and specification. At the project planning stage, the budget associated with specific use requirements should be calculated whilst also determining the quantities and quality standards achievable within a pre-defined budget. To successfully plan and execute construction projects, it is crucial to identify available resources in terms of funds and time in advance, thus making it possible, at a very early stage, to strike a realistic balance between the (financial) project targets and the available budget. If these targets exceed the budget, works are often specified incompletely, or specified quality standards are lowered with a view to arrive at lower costs in early project phases in order to ensure that the required permit is issued. This paper adopts a qualitative approach to highlight the influence of project preparation (i.e. project lead time and project preparation budget) on achieving the client's/owner's project targets.
Towards improved forestry performance: evaluating the added value of the timber legality assurance system in Indonesia
Authors: Astana S. , Riva W.F. , Hardiyanto G. , Komarudin H. , Sukanda A.
Published: March 2020

Indonesia is a main tropical timber-producing country and is a leader in implementing Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Voluntary Partnership Agreements (FLEGT-VPA) with the European Union (EU). In 2015, as a part of the FLEGT-VPA process, the government began a timber legality
assurance system called Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu (SVLK), which is mandatory for all timber product businesses. Since November 2016, Indonesia has issued FLEGT licenses for timber products exported to the EU. This study shows that the SVLK scheme has added value for the public
in controlling timber legality, eradicating illegal logging and illegal timber trading, enhancing sustainable forest management and contributing to legal timber trading. The scheme also has added value in providing legal certainty for businesses. However, it contributes less to product marketing
and its use as a standard to assess sustainable forest management needs to be evaluated.
Enhancing equity in participatory forest management through forest management agreements: the case of Gathiuru and Karima forests in Kenya
Authors: Chisika S.N. , Yeom C.
Published: March 2020

Kenya is keen on realizing equity between the state and local communities participating in sustainable forest management. Hence, prominence is accorded to Forest Management Agreements (FMAs) under the Participatory Forest Management (PFM) framework. However, there is a scarcity of equity
lessons from FMAs implemented so far by the state and Community Forest Associations (CFAs). This paper addresses this gap by exploring two FMAs for procedural and distributive equity effects by comparing the processes of recognition, income, and cost-sharing as well as challenges experienced
by the state and CFAs to determine whether FMA implementation was yielding equity outcomes or not. Using literature review and 19 key informant interviews, results from Gathiuru and Karima forests substantiate that FMA is a reasonably robust, multi-objective-win-win tool that promotes equity
in PFM. However, the implementation process has been slow. There is a need for more capacity building of CFA members, establishing an inventory-based NTFPs utilization system, and complementing the current PFM framework with explicit provisions for Corporate Social Responsibility.
Nonlinear Forced Vibration Analysis of FG Cylindrical Nanopanels Based on Mindlin’s Strain Gradient Theory and 3D Elasticity
Authors: Gholami Y. , Ansari R. , Gholami R. , Rouhi H.
Published: March 2020

A numerical approach is used herein to study the primary resonant dynamics of functionally graded (FG) cylindrical nanoscale panels taking the strain gradient effects into consideration. The basic relations of the paper are written based upon Mindlin’s strain gradient theory (SGT) and three-dimensional (3D) elasticity. Since the formulation is developed using Mindlin’s SGT, it is possible to reduce it to simpler size-dependent theories including modified forms of couple stress and strain gradient theories (MCST & MSGT). The governing equations is derived and directly discretized via the variational differential quadrature technique. Then, a numerical solution technique is employed to study the nonlinear resonance response of nanopanels with various edge conditions under a harmonic load. The impacts of length scale parameter, material and geometrical parameters on the frequency–response curves of nanopanels are investigated. In addition, comparisons are provided between the predictions of MSGT, MCST and the classical elasticity theory.
“Maid to maiden”: The false promise of English for the daughters of domestic workers in post-colonial Kolkata
Authors: Chatterjee Anindita , Schluter Anne
Published: March 2020

Drawing from a larger ethnographic study, the current article examines, through interactional sociolinguistics, interview and observation data related to English-language tutorials between two employers and their domestic workers’ daughters in two households in Kolkata. The post-colonial, South Asian context represents a site in which such scholarship has been underrepresented (see Mills and Mullany’s 2011 Language, gender and feminism). The focus of analysis is two-fold: it evaluates the existing power structures between participants, and it assesses the degree to which widespread Indian discourses about the upward mobility of English (see Graddol’s 2010 “English Next India”, published online by the British Council) are relevant to the current setting. In terms of power structures, legitimated domination (see Grillo’s 1989 Dominant languages) of the employer over her domestic worker emerges as a salient theme; however, affective attachment (adapted from Hardt’s 1999 article “Affective labor”, published in Boundary; McDowell and Dyson’s 2011 article “The other side of the knowledge economy: ‘Reproductive’ employment and affective labours in Oxford”, published in Environment and Planning) and reciprocal dependencies help to both reinforce and diminish the severity of the power asymmetry. With respect to the applicability of popular Indian discourses that equate English-language proficiency with upward mobility, the study finds little evidence of their relevance to the current context in which the subordinate positioning of gender intersects with social class to compound its constraining influence.
Religious Diversity and the Concept of Religion
Authors: Danz Christian
Published: March 2020

The article deals with the concept of religion in the contemporary theology of religions. Many theologians in the current debate work with a general concept of religion. Such a conception of religion unifies the distinctive religious diversities. This article argues that against the background of the previous debate, a theology of religions must proceed from a concept of religion as communication. This concept emerges out of the Christian religious tradition: it carries a particular meaning and hence should not be treated as universally applicable. Starting with a concrete concept of religion, a theology of religion has the task neither to give a foundation for other “religions”, nor that of Christianity. Only this could be a basis for a real pluralistic conception. From this starting point follows the question on how other religions understand religion.
A Diachronic Analysis of the Translation of English Sound Symbolism in Italian Comics
Authors: Pischedda Pier Simone
Published: March 2020

Phonosymbolic elements such as ideophones and interjections test the translator’s ability in various ways. These forms would, in theory, require a complete change of form and substance of the source text but this has not always been possible because of graphical, cultural and linguistic reasons, and this led, in certain cases, to a foreignized target-text environment. Recent research has started to consider the relationship between verbal and visual modes as beneficial and not just as a mere constraint for the translator. This research aims to align itself with this approach in order to analyze how verbal and visual modes in Disney comic books have come together to welcome sound symbolic forms and how translators have dealt with them in Italian Disney comics, in particular. In order to clarify the behavior, function, translation and use of expressive sound symbolic devices in Italian Disney comics, this article will offer a diachronic analysis of these strategies as found in a diachronic bidirectional corpus compiled through extensive archival research.
Per Stups zum Energiesparen?
Authors: Andor Mark , Bensch Gunther , Fels Katja , Kneppel Nadine
Published: March 2020

Zahlreiche Länder und Staatengemeinschaften in aller Welt haben sich verpflichtet, ihren Energieverbrauch drastisch zu senken. Wie dies geschehen soll, ist bislang jedoch eine offene Frage. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersuchen die Autoren in einer Meta-Analyse, welche Potenziale verhaltensökonomische Interventionen haben, den Energieverbrauch von privaten Haushalten zu reduzieren. Konkret geht es um vier verhaltensökonomische Interventionen, genannt Feedback, Sozialer Vergleich, Selbstbindung sowie Labeling. Die Meta-Analyse fußt dabei auf insgesamt 83 Artikeln, die über eine systematische Suche identifiziert wurden. Diese Studien legen nahe, dass Feedback, Sozialer Vergleich sowie Selbstbindung den Stromverbrauch privater Haushalte im Durchschnitt um 2 bis 4 Prozent reduzieren. Für das Labeling erlauben die vorliegenden Studien bislang keine Berechnung des zu erwartenden Durchschnittseffektes, doch es kann ein effektives Instrument darstellen. Vor einer flächendeckenden Einführung von als kosteneffizient eingeschätzten Maßnahmen zum Energiesparen empfehlen die Autoren eine systematische Ex-ante-Evaluation in der jeweiligen Zielregion.
Merchant Card Acceptance: An Extension of the Tourist Test for Developing Countries
Authors: Aurazo Jose , Vasquez Jose
Published: March 2020

The paper extends the tourist test proposed by Rochet and Tirole (2011) to the situation of emerging countries which are characterized by informality (tax evasion through cash payments). We introduce a government which faces a cost associated to cash (resources to fight against crime minus seigniorage) and tax evasion in the base model. The main idea is that merchants benefit from tax evasion since they do not provide a receipt in cash transactions and thus pocket a fraction of the VAT. In the presence of informality, the tax benefit of cash reduces the merchants’ net operating benefit of accepting card sales. The tourist test aims to determine a maximum interchange fee (the fee that the acquirer pays to the issuer whenever a card transaction is done) which makes the merchant indifferent between accepting cash or card. In this new environment, the tourist test threshold now internalizes this tax benefit of accepting cash. We assess the socially optimal interchange fees in this new model setup derived from three different social maximization functions.
EMPREGO (E NÃO EMPREGO) DE DETERMINANTES EM TEXTOS ESCRITOS POR SURDOS
Authors: Almeida Dayane Celestino de , Araújo Deisieli Mirela Libralão de
Published: March 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar quais fatores linguísticos e extralinguísticos regem a variação entre o Emprego e o Não Emprego de Determinantes em contextos em que o Emprego seria obrigatório em Português. Observaram-se 40 redações de 40 indivíduos surdos que apresentam a Libras como L1 e o Português na modalidade escrita como L2. Seguiu-se o quadro teórico metodológico da Sociolinguística Variacionista, e partiu-se da premissa de que a produção textual em Português de grande parte dos surdos ainda está em estágio de "interlíngua". Formularam-se duas hipóteses: a primeira é a hipótese de que variante "gramatical" (Emprego de Determinante) seria própria do Português e a variante "não gramatical" (Não Emprego de Determinante) seria uma influência da Libras; a segunda é a hipótese de que a variação também é determinada pela influência de outros fatores, internos ao sistema linguístico, e não somente pela L1. Os resultados indicam que, quanto aos fatores extralinguísticos, o Não Emprego de Determinantes é desfavorecido quando os indivíduos adquiriram a Libras entre 6 e 12 anos de idade, e quando eles apresentam nível de Escolaridade Superior; quanto ao fatores linguísticos, os resultados nos mostram que o Não Emprego é favorecido quando o núcleo do sintagma apresentar o traço [- Humano] (e não o [+ Humano]) e quando estiver no Singular (e não no Plural). Os resultados indicam que a variação no Português de surdos é sistemática e motivada, e não simplesmente fruto do acaso ou de um erro resultante intrinsecamente da condição da surdez, o que é um mito frequente entre os leitores da escrita de surdos.Palavras-chave: Bilinguismo de Surdos; variação sociolinguística; determinantes.
FATORES (IN)CONSCIENTES QUE INFLUENCIARAM UMA ÍTALO-BRASILEIRA A USAR PROGRESSIVAMENTE O PORTUGUÊS EM DETRIMENTO DA VARIEDADE ITALIANA
Authors: Horst Cristiane , Krug Marcelo Jacó , Bernieri Simone Raquel
Published: March 2020

Com o presente artigo buscou-se compreender os fatores (in)conscientes que influenciaram a decisão de uma ítalo-brasileira com hoje 90 anos, cuja língua materna foi uma variedade italiana, a usar progressivamente com mais dominância, o português em detrimento de sua primeira língua. Investigou-se de que forma a língua instituída como língua nacional, no caso o português, foi gradualmente ganhando mais espaço e dominância na vida do informante desta pesquisa. A metodologia utilizada foi gravação audiovisual da aplicação do questionário (meta)linguístico e análise dos dados. As motivações que fizeram com que uma analfabeta saísse de sua "zona de conforto" e aprendesse uma nova língua, foram distintas em cada período de sua vida: Primeiramente foi o medo da punição empregada aos que não falassem o português no Brasil na década de 30 durante o Estado Novo, sob o governo de Getúlio Vargas, levando-a a usar português em contatos sociais e a variedade italiana no seio familiar. Em conjunto a isso, havia o receio em ofender os que eram apenas falantes de português ao usar a variedade. Posteriormente, com o nascimento dos filhos, a motivação em usar o português surgiu da preocupação de que estes tivessem uma vida escolar bem sucedida, e para isso a variedade não poderia “atrapalhar" o desenvolvimento das habilidades com o português. Neste período, no convívio familiar, tanto a variedade quanto a língua portuguesa eram utilizadas. Com o nascimento dos netos, a preocupação, foi de estreitar laços afetivos, aproximando-se deles com o uso do idioma que compreendiam; a língua portuguesa, passando assim, com a chegada dos netos a usar o português com maior dominância. Palavras-chave: Bilinguismo; Fatores de substituição linguística; Língua de imigração italiana; Português.
Astrocytes Modulate Baroreflex Sensitivity at the Level of the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract

Maintenance of cardiorespiratory homeostasis depends on autonomic reflexes controlled by neuronal circuits of the brainstem. The neurophysiology and neuroanatomy of these reflex pathways are well understood, however, the mechanisms and functional significance of autonomic circuit modulation by glial cells remain largely unknown. In the experiments conducted in male laboratory rats we show that astrocytes of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), the brain area that receives and integrates sensory information from the heart and blood vessels, respond to incoming afferent inputs with [Ca2+]ielevations. Astroglial [Ca2+]iresponses are triggered by transmitters released by vagal afferents, glutamate acting at AMPA receptors and 5-HT acting at 5-HT2Areceptors. In conscious freely behaving animals blockade of Ca2+-dependent vesicular release mechanisms in NTS astrocytes by virally driven expression of a dominant-negative SNARE protein (dnSNARE) increased baroreflex sensitivity by 70% (p< 0.001). This effect of compromised astroglial function was specific to the NTS as expression of dnSNARE in astrocytes of the ventrolateral brainstem had no effect. ATP is considered the principle gliotransmitter and is released by vesicular mechanisms blocked by dnSNARE expression. Consistent with this hypothesis, in anesthetized rats, pharmacological activation of P2Y1purinoceptors in the NTS decreased baroreflex gain by 40% (p= 0.031), whereas blockade of P2Y1receptors increased baroreflex gain by 57% (p= 0.018). These results suggest that glutamate and 5-HT, released by NTS afferent terminals, trigger Ca2+-dependent astroglial release of ATP to modulate baroreflex sensitivity via P2Y1receptors. These data add to the growing body of evidence supporting an active role of astrocytes in brain information processing.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCardiorespiratory reflexes maintain autonomic balance and ensure cardiovascular health. Impaired baroreflex may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and serves as a robust predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The data obtained in this study suggest that astrocytes are integral components of the brainstem mechanisms that process afferent information and modulate baroreflex sensitivity via the release of ATP. Any condition associated with higher levels of “ambient” ATP in the NTS would be expected to decrease baroreflex gain by the mechanism described here. As ATP is the primary signaling molecule of glial cells (astrocytes, microglia), responding to metabolic stress and inflammatory stimuli, our study suggests a plausible mechanism of how the central component of the baroreflex is affected in pathological conditions.

Published: March 2020

The diverse benefits of nature are increasingly well-known, but access to nature and its associated benefits are inequitable. In parallel, because school attendance is compulsory, schools are ubiquitous in every community. However, only a small fraction extend classroom settings into outdoor spaces developed as educational resources richly endowed with nature. By greening schoolyards, every community in the United States would provide safe, accessible, natural areas, greatly expanding available educational space and resources benefiting the entire school community. Greening schoolyards offers a promising strategy to ensure all children and communities have access to the health, wellness, learning, and myriad other benefits contact with nature provides. This paper makes the case for green schoolyards as a tool for providing access to nature for all children and sets a research agenda to support that goal.
The Physical Mechanisms ofDrosophilaGastrulation: Mesoderm and Endoderm Invagination
Authors: Martin Adam C
Published: March 2020

A critical juncture in early development is the partitioning of cells that will adopt different fates into three germ layers: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. This step is achieved through the internalization of specified cells from the outermost surface layer, through a process called gastrulation. In Drosophila, gastrulation is achieved through cell shape changes (i.e., apical constriction) that change tissue curvature and lead to the folding of a surface epithelium. Folding of embryonic tissue results in mesoderm and endoderm invagination, not as individual cells, but as collective tissue units. The tractability of Drosophila as a model system is best exemplified by how much we know about Drosophila gastrulation, from the signals that pattern the embryo to the molecular components that generate force, and how these components are organized to promote cell and tissue shape changes. For mesoderm invagination, graded signaling by the morphogen, Spätzle, sets up a gradient in transcriptional activity that leads to the expression of a secreted ligand (Folded gastrulation) and a transmembrane protein (T48). Together with the GPCR Mist, which is expressed in the mesoderm, and the GPCR Smog, which is expressed uniformly, these signals activate heterotrimeric G-protein and small Rho-family G-protein signaling to promote apical contractility and changes in cell and tissue shape. A notable feature of this signaling pathway is its intricate organization in both space and time. At the cellular level, signaling components and the cytoskeleton exhibit striking polarity, not only along the apical–basal cell axis, but also within the apical domain. Furthermore, gene expression controls a highly choreographed chain of events, the dynamics of which are critical for primordium invagination; it does not simply throw the cytoskeletal “on” switch. Finally, studies of Drosophila gastrulation have provided insight into how global tissue mechanics and movements are intertwined as multiple tissues simultaneously change shape. Overall, these studies have contributed to the view that cells respond to forces that propagate over great distances, demonstrating that cellular decisions, and, ultimately, tissue shape changes, proceed by integrating cues across an entire embryo.

Published: March 2020

This paper discusses the trials of life which in the Qur’an are called slander. The dominant meaning of slander is a troublesome ordeal. Bad trials here tend to be collective trials rather than individuals. That is, this word is more often used by a certain group in this case are infidels to attack other groups, namely Muslims. This is because many verses about libel fall during the period of makkiyah. Therefore, the meaning of slander that often appears in the Qur’an is chaos, persecution, assault, murder, kufr, expropriation of wealth and the like. Defamation as a test of one's faith is a sunnatullah that cannot be rejected or avoided by anyone. The quality of one's faith will be seen if it has been faced with various difficulties. To get comprehensive results from this discussion, the authors use the thematic method. This method tries to raise various issues and concepts of the Qur’an which ultimately gain an understanding that refers to a unified view of nature and life.

This paper discusses the typology of the reception of taḥfīẓ al-Qur’ān among IIQ Jakarta students. This paper departs from the diversity of one's motivation in memorizing the Qur’an. Especially, in recent years, many television programs have appeared on the program taḥfīẓ al-Qur’ān. The skills of children in memorizing the verses of the newspaper simultaneously enliven the universe of social media, thus encouraging parents’ enthusiasm to form their children as hāfiẓ/ah. Various motivations certainly become their own color. To find out the typology of their reception of the taḥfīẓ al-Qur’ān, the author uses a phenomenological analysis approach that was conceived by Edmund Husserl. The results of this study concluded that Jakarta IIQ female students were reception taḥfīẓ al-Qur’ān functionally, aesthetically, and exegetically. Various receptions conducted by Jakarta IIQ students when viewed from outside the structure shows that IIQ Jakarta students are very religious. They make taḥfīẓ the Qur’ān as the main routine in their daily activities. Meanwhile, when viewed from its structure, it contains the message of the truth of miracles kalām Allāh and the guarantee of the owner of His words for people who memorize the Qur’ān based on the logic of pragmatic epistemology.
Еміль Балецький - дослідник закарпатських українських говорів (другий етап наукової діяльності) До 100-річчя від дня народження

Published: March 2020

Emil Baleczky (his pseudonyms: E. Latorchanin, O. Vyshchak, and his cryptonym: E. A.) is one of the most prominent personalities in the history of Ukrainian studies in Hungary in the twentieth century. His main scientific interests include Transcarpathian dialectology and historical lexicology of the Ukrainian language.

The second stage of the scientist's professional carrier is connected with the University of Budapest, where in 1951, Emil Baleczky was appointed head of the Department of the Russian Language at the Institute of Foreign Languages, and at the same time assistant professor of the Russian Institute at the University.

Among the scientific interests of Emil Baleczky was the investigation of lexical units commonly used in Transcarpathia, first of all, in terms of their etymology. Among the achievements of the researcher, special attention must be paid to Emil Baleczky's attempt to determine the origin of some borrowed words, including those originally Slavic, which are common in the Carpathian Ukrainian dialects.

Emil Baleczky performed a deep etymological and lingual-geographical analysis of the word урик, урюк, орек in the Ukrainian language, that of the word дюг widespread in Precarpathian Ukrainian, Polish, and Slovakian dialects, and also that of the noun kert in Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialects. The author devoted a separate paper to the study of the origin of dialecticisms like фотляк, csulka ~ csurka, бôшн’ак, булґар’, валах, ґириґ, тôўт, and циганин, investigated the etymology of the terms of national dishes widespread in Carpathian Ukrainian dialects, in particular of the token бáник. He considered the role of the Old Church Slavonic language in the history of the Carpathian Ukrainian dialects.

According to his contemporaries, it is known that Emil Baleczky did not maintain official connections with the Soviet Transcarpathians but was surprisingly well-informed about the scientific processes in his native land. He analyzed the works contained in the two editions of the Dialectological Collection of Uzhgorod State University. In addition to examining the issues raised, Baleczky complemented, specified, and sometimes criticized the achievements of his colleagues, which indicates his deep knowledge of Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialectology.

Thus, we can state that Emil Baleczky's works testify the high professionalism of the author, his profound knowledge in the field of synchronic and diachronic dialectology. The love of Transcarpathian dialects inspired the researcher to study them thoroughly as well as to present the research results to the general public of Slavists. The main area of Emil Baleczky's scientific interest until the end of his life was Ukrainian linguistics, particularly Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialectology.

The aim of this paper is to present the Emil Baleczky's achievements in the field of Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialectology, focusing on the period from 1957 to 1979.
Ориентализмы-антропонимы в южнославянских устойчивых сравнениях
Authors: КУЗНЕЦОВА И. В.
Published: March 2020

The author discusses similes of southern Slavs (Bulgarians and peoples of the former Yugoslavia, i.e. Bosnians, Serbs, Croats, and Montenegrins) with a semantically similar component such as an anthroponym of Oriental origin. The author deals with both outdated similes and those that are actively used nowadays.

Orientalisms usually include words belonging to different groups of Turkic as well as Iranian and Arab-Semitic languages. Historical events and language contacts contributed to the borrowing of thematically diverse Orientalisms by South Slavic languages. The result of the five-century domination of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Peninsula is borrowing from the Old Ottoman (Old Turkish) language, which became both the source language and (often) the intermediate language through which Arabisms and Persisms entered the South Slavic recipient languages. Therefore, in Bulgaria, the term Turkish-Arabic-Persian words is used to refer to this vocabulary. In addition to the Arab-Persian elements, the old Ottoman language is rich in borrowings from other languages (e.g. Greek). The term Turkish usually refers to the vocabulary of the old Ottoman rather than the modern Turkish language. Due to the vastness of anthroponyms of Oriental origin as a special genetic layer of South Slavic vocabulary, the author analyzes the expressions that denote a person in such aspects as intelligence, gender, and occupation.

Oriental vocabulary penetrated into the languages of Southern Slavs mainly through oral spoken language. The degree of penetration of Turkish words into the languages of the peoples of Southern Slavia is different. The outcome of borrowings also varies: they either remained in the recipient languages as exoticism, or have been completely assimilated in them. During semantic adaptation in the language that accepts Oriental vocabulary, there is sometimes an expansion or contraction of the meaning of a word. Many of the Turkish words that make up the comparison became historicisms and entered the passive vocabulary and in the modern language they are not used because of the disappearance of the realities they denote (for example, words associated with the system of administration in the Ottoman era). Another reason for transition into the passive vocabulary in the Balkans is the process of replacing the original words.

The paper defines the functional, semantic, and stylistic status of Eastern vocabulary in different social and cultural layers (standard languages and dialects) of South Slavic similes. Due to historical reasons, the greatest number of borrowings from the Turkish language as a part of similes is observed in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in Shtokavian dialects of Croatia. In addition to this, the author gives cultural, historical, and etymological comments to similes, analyzing the meaning of units and components that are parts of similes.
The future of local waste material utilization in distributed energy production in Finland
Authors: Horttanainen Mika , Luoranen Mika , Eriksson Niko
Published: March 2020

A very small part of waste management has been carried out by incineration in Finland.About 300 kt of waste is incinerated or burned with other fuels. Waste materials have beenused in energy production mostly as co-combustion fuels at several energy production plants.The waste incineration directive of the European Union sets tight regulations for the emissionlimits, their measurements, as well as for temperature and residence time conditions in thefurnace. The costs of solid recovered fuel (SRF) utilization will increase remarkablyespecially in small heating plants because of these demands.In this study we focus on the preconditions for the utilization of local waste materials indistributed energy production. We introduce two different cases where a fuel produced fromlocal waste materials is used in small-scale energy production (<l 0 MW). The first caseincludes an existing 3.5 MW district heating boiler which has used SRF with biofuels forseveral years with good experiences and low emissions. The fraction of SRF is only about I 0% of the total fuel. The second case is based on package and construction waste collectedfrom the economic area of about 75 000 people. It was assumed that the technology of thenew heating plant would not have to differ a lot from the modem biofuel-using plant becauseof the good SRF quality. The amount of the waste-derived fuel is 10 000 Ua.In the first case the continuation of the energy use of waste would cause at least a 38 % rise tothe waste management fee. In the second case the investment and operation costs could becovered without a gate-fee if the owner of the plant (e.g. a sawmill) could save about 25€/MWh (approximate price of heat for customer) in the purchase costs of heat for their ownconsumption. If the plant could sell the heat to the district heating network with the price of15.5 €/MWh, the gate-fee would be about 38 €/t at the break-even point, which is the same asthe gate-fee of the energy waste at the moment.

Toxicity of some heavy metals (HM), heavy metal model mixture (HMMM), orimulsion, crudeoil and water of some biotopes of Lake Druksiai was evaluated by use of the fish in all stages ofdevelopment (embryos, larvae, adult fish). The rainbow trout was very sensitive test-organism tothe effect of different kind pollutants and the most sensitive to the impact of pollutants were fishat early stages of development i.e. larvae and embryos. The integrated biological parameters offish at all stages of development (survival, growth rate, and relative mass increase) were the mostsensitive ones. In accordance with the sensitivity to the impact of heavy metals, animals in theearliest stages of their development were more sensitive than plants, but the plants in some caseswere more sensitive to heavy metals than adult fish. Therefore, plants as well as animals -rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) of different life stages, as test-organisms, arerecommended for the inclusion of the complex biotests for the assessment of the impact of heavymetals. The complex of the most sensitive parameters investigated of rainbow trout can besuccessfully used for the water toxicity assessment containing different kind pollutants. The dataobtained let predict the impact of pollution not only to the physiological status of aquaticorganisms but as well as to their survival in natural water bodies.

Objetivou-se avaliar a probabilidade de fatores inerentes ao animal e ao alimento aumentarem o tempo de alimentação de fêmeas leiteiras ao longo de um dia. Para isso, foram avaliados todos os artigos publicados no Brasil entre os anos de 2000 a 2018 com acesso via plataforma SciELO e Google Acadêmicos. Como palavra-chave para busca dos artigos, foi utilizada a seguinte frase: €œcomportamento ingestivo de vacas leiteiras€. A partir dela, foram acessados 34 (trinta e quatro) artigos, dos quais, para entrar na base de dados deveriam informar o grupo genético e/ou raça dos animais, o peso das vacas e apresentar resultados de consumo e características bromatológicas da dieta. Após essa triagem, foram selecionados 9 (nove) artigos. Para análise das variáveis foi utilizada regressão logística, através do procedimento LOGISTIC, disponível no SAS. Os parâmetros foram avaliados pela estatística de razão de chances (odds ratio), em que a mudança nas chances de maior tempo de alimentação foi estimada a partir da função de acréscimos nas unidades das variáveis regressoras. Ã€ medida que se elevou o peso vivo, percentual de europeu e consumo de FDN, houve incremento nas chances de maior tempo destinado a alimentação. O consumo de matéria seca (CMS) reflete de forma inversa sobre o tempo de alimentação, à medida que ele se eleva há redução na chance de as vacas destinarem maior tempo a alimentação. O tempo de alimentação sofre influência de características relacionadas ao animal e a dieta.
Monitoring of bank account as a means of obtain evidence: the question about improving procedural form
Authors: Starenkyi O.
Published: March 2020

In the system of criminal proceedings means of obtain evidence the important place has an investigative (search) action which help to solve the grave and the particularly grave crimes, as show in world and domestic practice. One of the reason of the low level using the results of investigative (search) action in the criminal proceeding proof is imperfect procedural form the separate undercover investigative (search) actions which includes monitoring of bank accounts.

The author of the article aims to explore the problematic issues of procedural form of monitoring of banking accounts as a means of obtain evidence in criminal proceed.

Raising the issues of legal regulation of monitoring of banking accounts in criminal procedural legislation in the foreign country (Bulgaria, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia).

Attention is drawn to the inadmissibility of identification monitoring of banking accounts with governmental financial monitoring. That measures of their legal nature, the subjects, the reason and the objective, the evidentiary value of their results are significantly difference.

The incorrectness of the legislative technique in formulating provisions is indicated in p.1 art. . 2691 of Criminal procedural code of Ukraine which show that monitoring of banking accounts can be conducted as an certain condition and in the presence of grounds for assuming the possibility of achieving the goal in the norm. Propose to change the formulation “ if there is reasonable suspicion that the person is committing crime with banking account” on “ finding and fixation illegal action person with using bank account”

In the p.1 art. 2691 of Criminal procedural code of Ukraine describes that the prosecutor have an obligation to apply for monitoring of banking accounts to investigating judge but in practice that application pre-prepared by detectives which limits their autonomy as a subjects of criminal procedural proof.

Justified the position to make a change to art. 2691 of Criminal procedural code of Ukraine in the part of give the opportunities to conduct the monitoring of bank accounts not just detectives on National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine but by the investigators and by detectives from another pre-trial investigative bodies including detectives from The service of financial investigation.

Taking into account the problematic issues which arise during the provision of art. . 2691 of Criminal procedural code of Ukraine the author proposes the new version of the article.
Improved Parametric Models for Explosion Pressure Signals Derived From Large Datasets

Accurate recording and characterization of explosion-induced pressure signals are key components of the forensic analysis of explosion events in the atmosphere. Parametric overpressure models based on several key waveform features (peak overpressure, positive pulse duration, and impulse) are widely used to estimate explosion energy in terms of trinitrotoluene equivalent yield. However, those models are often developed by a limited dataset, including only a few events or recordings at relatively short propagation distances. Here, we develop empirical waveform-parameter models based on a regression analysis of a large set of data curated from four chemical explosion experiments including 16 detonations. We measured peak overpressure and impulse for positive and negative phases from ∼1000 pressure signals recorded at local ranges (<20  km) with scaled distance up to 8000  m/kg1/3. The measured waveform parameters showed large variation with respect to observing distances indicating the effects of atmospheric propagation. In this study, a second-order polynomial model was used in a least-squares regression to account for those propagation effects and to improve data fitting. In addition to model parameters for waveform features, we also determined range-dependent model uncertainties based on data variance. The model uncertainty represents the prediction error of our models and can be critical to evaluating the uncertainty of yield estimate.

Kształcenie medialne nauczycieli w kontekście koncepcji opóźnienia kulturowego Williama F. Ogburna
Authors: Wrońska Marta
Published: March 2020

Mass media i światowa sieć komputerowa to główne dominanty we współczesnym świecie. To one kształtują nowy model życia, a rzeczywistość generowana przez media zachęca młode pokolenie do swobodnego korzystania z technologii informacyjnych, a zwłaszcza z technologii mobilnych, z którymi uczniowie praktycznie się nie rozstają. Wobec powyższego kształcenie medialne przyszłych nauczycieli i permanentne dokształcanie w tym obszarze czynnych nauczycieli jest zagadnieniem priorytetowym. W tekście podjęto rozważania dotyczące edukowania medialnego w kontekście koncepcji opóźnienia kulturowego Williama F. Ogburna. Dokonano także szczegółowej analizy obowiązujących standardów kształcenia nauczycieli pod kątem występujących zapisów dotyczących aspektów medialnych. Podano przykłady czynników zakłócających rozwój profesji nauczycielskiej.
Postawy zawodowe nauczycieli a ich motywacja osiągnięć
Authors: Kopacz Anna Monika
Published: March 2020

Częstotliwość i moc motywu osiągnięć dla różnych grup społecznych jest różna, zestawiona z postawami zawodowymi okazuje się ciekawym tematem badań wśród nauczycieli. Celem podjętych badań było ustalenie zależności między postawami wobec pracy nauczycieli a ich motywacją osiągnięć. Badania przeprowadzono w lutym 2016 roku wśród 118 nauczycieli pracujących w Szkole Podstawowej nr 40 im. Leona Kruczkowskiego w Lublinie oraz Zespole Szkół im. ks. Antoniego Kwiatkowskiego w Bychawie. Do przeprowadzenia badań posłużono się Kwestionariuszem do badania motywacji osiągnięć oraz Kwestionariuszem wskaźników postaw zawodowych (KWPZ). Stwierdzono, że istnieje zależność między postawami wobec pracy badanych nauczycieli a ich motywacją osiągnięć zawodowych. Im wyższy poziom motywacji osiągnięć, tym częściej badani nauczyciele przejawiają pozytywne postawy wobec pracy. Ważna wydaje się motywacja osiągnięć nauczycieli. Podjęte badania mogą stanowić zachętę dla kolejnych badaczy do poszerzenia tematyki motywacji oraz jej determinantów. Otrzymane wyniki badań mogą posłużyć lepszemu zrozumieniu środowiska szkolnego, zrozumieniu reguł oraz mechanizmów kształtujących postawy wobec pracy.
