Zum Konnektorengebrauch in der gesprochenen Wissenschaftssprache Deutsch durch fortgeschrittene Lerner/innen
Authors: Slavcheva Adriana
Published: November 2022

Der internationale wissenschaftliche Diskurs ist heute stärker denn je durch akademischeMobilität geprägt. Das Gelingen der internationalen Wissenschaftskommunikation hängtdabei essentiell vom angemessenen Wissenschaftshandeln im akademischen Kontext desZielsprachenlandes ab und setzt die Herausbildung einer wissenschaftssprachlichenHandlungskompetenz in der jeweiligen Zielsprache – insbesondere im Mündlichen – voraus.Als eine wesentliche Teilkomponente der mündlichen Sprechhandlungskompetenz wird dieTextkompetenz erachtet. Diese wurde bisher allerdings keiner systematischen empirischfundierten Beschreibung unterzogen, die eine gezielte fremdsprachliche Förderungermöglichen könnte.Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich aus fremdsprachendidaktischer Perspektive einemzentralen Teilaspekt der Textkompetenz – dem Gebrauch von Konnektoren zur Herstellungvon Textkohäsion – in der gesprochenen Wissenschaftssprache Deutsch und stellt einempirisches Untersuchungsdesign zur Aufdeckung von Lernschwierigkeiten beimKonnektorengebrauch fortgeschrittener Lerner/innen vor. Dieses ermöglicht erstmaligumfassende empirische Einblicke in die Verwendungspräferenzen der Konnektoren in dermündlichen Wissenschaftskommunikation bei L2-Sprecher/inne/n im Kontrast zumuttersprachlichen Sprachproduktionen.
Memoria operativa y trade-offs entre los constructos de complejidad, precisión y fluidez
Authors: Mavrou Irini
Published: November 2022

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar en qué medida las dimensiones lingüísticas de complejidad, precisión y fluidez (CAF) entran en competición [trade-offs] durante la realización de tareas escritas en lengua extranjera que presentan diferentes grados de complejidad cognitiva. Asimismo, se persiguió examinar hasta qué punto la memoria operativa constituye un factor determinante de los posibles patrones de trade-off. Sesenta y cinco hablantes nativos de griego, aprendientes de español como lengua extranjera, llevaron a cabo dos tareas escritas y sus textos se evaluaron a partir de un total de quince medidas lingüísticas de CAF. El tratamiento estadístico de los datos se hizo mediante el Análisis Factorial Común y coeficientes de correlación. En líneas generales, los resultados no revelaron trade-offs entre las dimensiones lingüísticas de CAF. Solo se detectó un patrón consistente de trade-off entre la fluidez y la longitud promedio de las cláusulas en ambas tareas escritas, que fue más evidente para aquellos aprendientes con una baja capacidad de memoria operativa.
Hispanismos en el discurso romántico de Harlequin y Mills & Boon. Ámbitos temáticos y funciones socio-pragmáticas
Authors: González Cruz María-Isabel
Published: November 2022

This paper studies the Hispanicisms employed in 25 English popular romance fiction novels published by Harlequin and Mills & Boon. The texts belong to the corpus compiled for Research Project FFI2014-53962-P, which focuses on an interdisciplinary analysis of romances set mainly in the Canaries (Spain), but also in other Atlantic islands. In these romances, most of the authors resort to code-switching, i.e. the insertion of Spanish words, phrases and sentences, as a literary strategy. After offering a description of the socio-cultural framework of this type of works and a brief review of some studies on Hispanicisms, we will examine the semantic fields and the socio-pragmatic functions that these Spanish words and expressions seem to play in the English discourse. Our findings reveal that the Hispanicisms used in the texts are not merely restricted to the semantic field of ‘romance and love’, and that the socio-pragmatic functions they play go beyond the referential function. We suggest that the variety of functions detected seem to contribute to the performance of a kind of macro-function of representation of the bilingual contexts and identities the novels portray.
“Ágata” de Patricia Suárez o la intención parricida de la Nueva Narrativa Argentina
Authors: Pietrak Mariola
Published: November 2022

El volumen de cuentos de la escritora argentina Patricia Suárez, Ésta no es mi noche (2005), muestra una definida intención deconstruccionista de todas las categorías relacionadas con la familia, incluida la familia misma. De acuerdo con Elsa Drucaroff, tal intención “parricida” sería propia de la “primera generación de posdictadura” en la que, de hecho, incluye a Suárez. Especialmente visible en el cuento “Ágata”, en este espacio proponemos analizarlo estructurando la argumentación en tres bloques correspondientes a las principales categorías familiares (familia, madre, padre) y en base de la teoría de la mencionada Drucaroff en diálogo con dos teóricos franceses, en particular: Bourdieu y Cros. Con ello esperamos demostrar que el objetivo del relato es influir en el imaginario social deconstruyendo las representaciones vigentes de la familia, poniendo de relieve el conflicto existente entre las representaciones modélicas de “la” familia y las representaciones literarias de las últimas décadas que, como las suarecianas, contradicen el discurso familiar.

A história como estratégia e tema literários na Comédia de Diu (1601), de Simão Machado
Authors: Puga Rogério Miguel
Published: November 2022

Abstract Using concepts and the methodology of Imagology, this article analyses the process of fictionalisation of the period prior to the Siege of Diu (1538) in the bilingual play Comédia de Diu (Comedy of Diu, 1601), by Simão Machado. This historical play shares characteristics with the historical novel, and represents the conflicts between the Portuguese and the “Moorish” King Bandur in the Portuguese fortress of Diu (India). This article studies the playwright’s use of History and of self- and hetero-stereotypes to characterise and glorify the Portuguese historical characters and, metonymically, the Portuguese maritime and colonial enterprise in general.
Zur Instrumentalisierung von Musik in national geführten Diskursen
Authors: Dąbrowska-Burkhardt Jarochna
Published: November 2022

In zahlreichen Kulturen lassen sich enge Verknüpfungen zwischen Musik und Politik feststellen, denke man nur an bedeutsame Musikstücke wie Nationalhymnen, Partisanen- bzw. Freiheitslieder, kirchliche Gesänge, militärische Marschmusik, aber auch Evergreens, Schlager und Melodien, denen in bestimmten Sprachgemeinschaften unter besonderen Bedingungen eine bemerkenswerte Rolle zukommt. Musik stiftet Identität und kann Menschen mobilisieren. Sie ist somit ein geeignetes Werkzeug für den Widerstand oder auch die Rebellion. Darüber hinaus kann Musik stabilisieren und staatstragend sein, wenn sie eine stützende Funktion bei der Sicherung der bestehenden Staatsordnung erfüllt.Im folgenden Beitrag soll aufgezeigt werden, auf welche Weise Musik in den national geführten Diskursen instrumentalisiert werden kann. Anhand des gegenwärtigen Sprachgebrauchs in Europa wird präsentiert, welche Rolle bei der Besprechung der transnationalen Themen gerade kulturwissenschaftlich-anthropologische Perspektiven und kognitiv-semiotische Ressourcen spielen. Die Verbindung von verschiedenen Zeichenarten zeigt, dass sie interagieren, sich ergänzen bzw. auch partiell ersetzen können. Der Beitrag ist kulturanalytisch und politolinguistisch angelegt. Analysiert wird ein Ausschnitt des transnational geführten Diskurses über die Zukunft Europas um aufzuzeigen, wie mit Musik Politik gemacht wird und welche Rolle Musik als Medium der Erinnerung im politischen Diskurs spielen kann.
Übersetzungsstrategien für den deutschen Referatkonjunktiv in Kehlmanns "Die Vermessung der Welt"
Authors: Ek Britt-Marie , Nystrand Mikael
Published: November 2022

Das Deutsche unterscheidet sich vom Schwedischen dadurch, dass das morphologische Mittel des Konjunktivs dem Sprecher zur Markierung der Redewiedergabe zur Verfügung steht. Bei der so genannten berichteten Rede ist im Deutschen der Konjunktiv grundsätzlich obligatorisch. Hier wird morphologisch signalisiert, dass es sich in der gegebenen Textpassage um Redewiedergabe handelt – eine Möglichkeit, die im Schwedischen also nicht besteht. Im Schwedischen kann eine Redewiedergabe z.B. durch lexikalische Mittel wie redeindizierende Verben oder durch Präpositionalphrasen sowie durch die sog. Tempustransposition angezeigt werden. Jedoch sind auch viele andere sprachliche Mittel zur Signalisierung von Redewiedergabe vorhanden.

In dem hier untersuchten Text, der schwedischen Übersetzung von Daniel Kehlmanns Die Vermessung der Welt, besteht der Originaltext aus langen Passagen mit dem Referatkonjunktiv. Dies stellt den Übersetzer vor das Problem, in einer Sprache ohne den Referatkonjunktiv eine geeignete Entsprechung zur Redewiedergabe im Originaltext zu finden. Das Problem verschärft sich dadurch, dass das bei der Tempustransposition im Schwedischen vorhandene Präteritum auch in Erzählerkommentaren und in der erlebten Rede vorliegt, so dass nicht immer deutlich zwischen diesen Kategorien unterschieden werden kann. In solchen Problemfällen hat sich der Übersetzer verschiedener Übersetzungsstrategien bedient, die in der vorliegenden Arbeit näher diskutiert werden.
Percursos de Eros em O escuro que te ilumina de José Riço Direitinho
Authors: Araujo da Silva Maria
Published: November 2022

Propõe-se aqui uma reflexão sobre os percursos de Eros em O escuro que te ilumina de José Riço Direitinho (2018), um romance-diário que tece o retrato de um homem a caminhar, entre luz e sombra, à procura de si. Representado nas mais diversas manifestações e vivências e oscilando entre voyeurismo e exibicionismo, Eros assume, ao longo da narrativa, as vias do desejo sensual, da posse e do prazer para se afirmar como impulso que derruba fronteiras, num permanente desafio à moral vigente. Os corpos delineados no romance-diário erigem-se como força transgressiva numa Lisboa libertina, propícia a encontros fortuitos e repleta de variadíssimas tentações. Guiados pelo desejo e pela luxúria, esses mesmos corpos enveredam pelo excesso e pela vertigem, que funcionam como antídoto à angústia e a uma solidão potencialmente avassaladora.
Quotidianos da imigração nas crónicas de Mayone Dias: tradições e identidades transplantadas
Authors: Gago Dora Nunes , Cao Shuxiang
Published: November 2022

O quotidiano vivido pela comunidade portuguesa nos Estados Unidos da América tem sido o principal foco das crónicas de Eduardo Mayone Dias. Neste artigo, atendendo aos contributos teóricos de Michel de Certeau, Henri Lefebvre, Avtar Brah e Stuart Hall, entre outros, analisaremos o modo como é observada, pelo cronista, a transposição de algumas tradições portuguesas para o espaço de imigração e a forma como estas e outras atividades quotidianas se delineiam como um alicerce da construção identitária dos imigrantes no espaço diaspórico.
Turgenev’s appropriation of King Lear: A case of medieval transmission and adaptation
Authors: Bellmunt Serrano Manel
Published: November 2022

This paper tries to provide a thorough analysis of Ivan Turgenev’s appropriation of King Lear, the Shakespearean tragedy, as it appears in the novella King Lear of the Steppes (1870), from the perspective of translation and adaptation studies, and how this was adapted to 19th-century Russia. This analysis highlights the role of cross-cultural relations and its influence on the evolution of target literatures. The comparison with Shakespeare’s source text shows evident similarities but also differences, all of which raise multiple questions from the perspective of philosophy, history and ideology, among others. In fact, the interpretation of Shakespeare’s work, in Turgenev’s work and in the Russian literature as a whole, has become essential to understand the intellectual development of this country since the 19th century, as well as the rise of some debates about the Russian cultural identity, which still continue today. By focusing on Turgenev’s novella King Lear of the Steppes, the relevance of processes such as appropriation and adaptation for the development of national literatures will be underscored and how these foster debate and discussion within cultural systems. And, in order to illustrate this, it will also be highlighted that Shakespeare’s King Lear was in fact based upon several previous medieval sources and suffered multiple changes and adaptations over the centuries, which proves that knowledge transforms and adapts to the literary, cultural and ideological features of each period of time and society.
Narratives of collaboration and resistance: Three anti-fascist novels written by women in the 1930s
Authors: Paul Ronald
Published: November 2022

Throughout the 1930s, the impact of fascism on the role of women in society and in the family was the focus of several anti-fascist novels written by women. In this article I concentrate on three of the most significant and successful of these works in order to explore the way they dramatize the relationship between collaboration with and resistance to fascism. I show how they not only viewed the reactionary transformation of the state by fascist regimes as a historic defeat for women. They also sought to depict the effect this catastrophe had on their personal lives and how they coped with its social and political challenges. I have therefore selected the following novels – Storm Jameson’s In the Second Year (1936), Murray Constantine’s (Katharine Burdekin) Swastika Night (1937) and Phyllis Bottome’s The Mortal Storm (1938), since they address the fundamentally regressive nature of fascism in different ways as well as individual struggles against it. Moreover, they remain outstanding examples of anti-fascist fiction that still resonate with us today when the world is once more faced with the rise of rightwing, populist and neofascist parties.
Learning style and teaching style preferences in a foreign language classroom in Malaysia
Authors: Neo Swee Leng , Ng Lee Luan
Published: November 2022

Despite learning styles being one of the main topics of interest in education, not many studies have considered the influence of learning styles regarding students learning foreign languages in Malaysia. This study investigates the learning style preferences of 35 Spanish beginner level students aged between 20 and 24 years, the teaching style preferences of their Spanish teacher, and the relationship between the matching of teacher and learner styles and the learners’ language achievement. Data were collected using an adapted perceptual learning style preference questionnaire, a teaching style questionnaire, interviews and class observations. The findings show that the learners preferred kinaesthetic and auditory learning styles, while the teacher preferred kinaesthetic and tactile teaching. Interestingly, the results suggest that improvement in terms of achievement may not necessarily be related to a match between teacher and learner style. It was found that learners who improved were those who could adapt to the teacher’s styles and also those who would use multiple strategies to learn Spanish. Also, the results indicate that application of multiple teaching styles help students learn Spanish in a more enjoyable and effective manner. These insights are of interest to research on learner styles in general, and specifically to Spanish teachers in their instruction planning.
Where is home? Diaspora and hybridity in contemporary dialogue
Authors: Ortega Gema
Published: November 2022

Diaspora is the first step towards an encounter with the other, forcing a re-negotiation of one’s cultural identity. This quest for the self, known as diasporic consciousness, is thought to be disruptive, having the power to de-essentialize national narratives. While diaspora does shake the core of individuals, this paper differentiates diasporic from hybrid consciousness as two distinct discourses of self. Maintaining a diasporic consciousness means to sustain the idea of a physical ‘home’ that has been forever lost. The constant desire to ‘return’ underscores an unconditional alliance to the homeland and its diasporic footprint. Consequently, the diasporic experience does not necessarily produce transgressive forms of cultural identification. On the contrary, those who dwell on diasporic consciousness reify national discourses abroad. The language of nationalism remains intact, and ‘native’ and ‘other’ constitute themselves through a dialectic but mutually exclusive relationship with devastating consequences for those who cannot cope with the binary. The alternative to diasporic consciousness is Bakhtinian heteroglossia, for it exposes national discourses as ‘epic,’ and de-territorializes ‘home’ to find it in language. Hybrid narratives of self connect diverse memories, images, and experiences into individual stories of identity that ultimately transform official discourses of national, gender, religious, and racial identifications.
Inseln des Denkens und des Schreibens bei Yoko Tawada
Authors: Karlsson Hammarfelt Linda
Published: November 2022

Metaphern des Archipelischen werden oft verwendet, um das Schreiben der deutsch-japanischen Autorin Yoko Tawada zu charakterisieren, wobei die vielen tatsächlich in ihren Texten vorkommenden Insel-Darstellungen weitgehend unbeachtet bleiben. Ausgehend von John Gillis’ Feststellung, „Western culture not only thinks about islands, but thinks with them“ (2004:1), untersucht der vorliegende Beitrag Formen und poetologische Funktionen des Insularen und des Archipelischen in zwei Texten aus Tawadas Sprachpolizei und Spielpolyglotte (2007). Beide Texte, „Ma und Mu“ und „U.S. + S.R. Eine Sauna in Fernosteuropa“, bedienen sich der Insel als Raum und Denkfigur, um häufig mit (abgelegenen) Inseln verbundene Vorstellungen von Originalität und kultureller ‚Reinheit‘ herauszufordern und an ihrer Stelle die archipelischen Interrelationen und die Bedeutung des verbindenden, die Insel mitformenden Wassers zu akzentuieren.
Trauer, Trost und Macht. Leichenpredigten für Kinder als Rahmen für Positionierungen im 17. Jahrhundert
Authors: Tienken Susanne
Published: November 2022

Der Beitrag wendet sich der sprachlichen Gestaltung von Trauer, Trost und Macht im Hochadel des 17. Jahrhunderts zu und macht das Konzept der Positionierung für die historische Soziolinguistik bzw. historische Pragmatik nutzbar, um historische Lebenswelten zu rekonstruieren. Analysiert werden Positionierungen in zwei Leichenpredigten für die Kinder des Grafenpaares Maria Euphrosyne von Pfalz-Zweibrücken und Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie. Die Analyse von deutschsprachigen Leichenpredigten für drei der acht verstorbenen Kinder zeigt, dass zwar die tiefe Trauer der Eltern und Trost durch Gottes Gnade relevant gemacht werden, vor allem aber auch die ständische Position des Grafenpaares sowie die religiöse Sinnstiftung durch den Prediger manifestiert werden. Deutlich wird auch, dass die Gattung der Leichenpredigt dabei den Rahmen für diese Positionierungen bietet.
Narrativierte Erfahrungen im telekollaborativen Austausch zwischen Fremdsprachenlernenden
Authors: Becker Christine
Published: November 2022

Im Fremdsprachenunterricht ist es gang und gäbe, dass Lehrende und Lernende persönliche Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen narrativieren, zum Beispiel, wenn sie über das letzte Wochenende, Traditionen des Herkunftslandes oder ihre Familie erzählen. Bislang wurde jedoch nur in Ansätzen untersucht, was und wie Lernende Erfahrungen in Interaktionen mit anderen Lernenden oder den Lehrenden teilen. Ausgehend von empirischen Daten aus einem telekollaborativen Austausch zwischen Fremdsprachenlernenden in Deutschland und Schweden werden in diesem Beitrag Fragen beantwortet, die zum einen den konkreten Bezug zur Unterrichtspraxis haben, zum anderen aber auch das Potenzial des Erzählens für kulturbezogenes Lernen ausleuchten.
En pos del postporno en algunas escrituras del yo lésbico de la literatura argentina: Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, Dalia Rosetti y Luciana Caamaño
Authors: Rosier Marie
Published: November 2022

sexualidades de un yo lésbico, se elaborará una reflexión en torno a la búsqueda de elementos textuales que se pueden considerar como postpornográficos en unas propuestas artísticas autoficcionales –se tratará de ir en pos de lo postpornográfico– e intentaremos demostrar de qué manera el yo lésbico puede ser un yo sumamente político, subversivo e interseccional, que se condice con ciertos postulados postpornográficos. Nuestro corpus de estudio se compone de textos muy recientes de tres escritoras argentinas: Dalia Rosetti con Sueños y pesadillas, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara con Las aventuras de la China Iron y Luciana Caamaño con Lugares comunes de la lengua. Through a corpus of study of narrative and poetry in which the sexualities of a lesbian self are represented, a reflection is developed around the search for textual elements that can be considered post-pornographic in some self-fictional artistic proposals and this work shows that the lesbian self can be a highly political, subversive and intersectional self, which is in line with certain post-pornographic postulates. Our study corpus consists of very recent texts by three Argentine writers: Dalia Rosetti with Sueños y pesadillas, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara with Las aventuras de la China Iron and Luciana Caamaño with Lugares comunes de la lengua.
Cruces textuales y reconfiguraciones del deseo: De Leonor Silvestri a Iosi Havilio y Gabriela Cabezón Cámara
Authors: Semilla Durán María A.
Published: November 2022

La proposición de este artículo consiste en leer, a la luz de los conceptos vertidos por Leonor Silvestri en Ética amatoria del deseo libertario y las afectaciones libres y alegres, dos novelas: Opendoor de Iosi Havilio y Las aventuras de la China Iron de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara. Ambas podrían inscribirse en un intento ficcional de imaginar nuevas formas de organización social y familiar que incluyan la circulación entre los géneros, como instancias posibles e incluso fundadoras de prácticas subversivas y, como tales, emancipadoras. Las dos propuestas son de diversa profundidad, extensión, eficacia y radicalidad, pero ambas rompen los órdenes establecidos y, a la vez, cuestionan mitologías culturales e históricas y hacen estallar los marcos políticos de la dominación.

The proposal is to read two novels following the ideas displayed by Leonor Silvestri in Ética amatoria del deseo libertario y las afectaciones libres y alegres: Opendoor by Iosi Havilio, and Las aventuras de la China Iron by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara. These novels could be understood as a fictional attempt to imagine new ways of social and family organisation, ones that would allow circulation between genders, in order to produce subversive and emancipated practices. The two propositions are different in depth, extent, effectiveness and radicality, but both break the established order and, at the same time, question historical and cultural mythologies, while blowing up political domination’s frameworks.
Retraduction et paratexte : Les retraductions interlinguales des Misérables dans l’Empire ottoman et leurs retraductions intralinguales dans la Turquie moderne
Authors: Gökduman Umut Can , Karadağ Ayşe Banu
Published: November 2022

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les retraductions interlinguales et intralinguales de l’œuvre Les Misérables (Sefiller en turc) en Turquie. En ce qui concerne les retraductions interlinguales durant l’Empire ottoman et leurs retraductions intralinguales dans la Turquie moderne, l’accent est mis sur les différents motifs de la retraduction. Pour ce faire nous recourons aux paratextes des retraductions en question. Cet article se veut explorer les empreintes des acteurs littéraires dans la publication de cette œuvre qui entre sur le territoire turc en 1862, année de sa publication en France. Depuis, ce roman a été retraduit plusieurs fois, devenant l’un des ouvrages les plus retraduits en Turquie. Étant donné que l’ouvrage connaît différents concepts traductologiques tels que les retraductions interlinguales et intralinguales, ces concepts traductologiques sont étudiés dans ce travail tout en accordant de l’importance à des acteurs comme le traducteur, le propriétaire de la maison d’édition et les critiques. En cherchant le « pourquoi » de la retraduction des Misérables en Turquie, dans cet article, différentes retraductions ainsi que les raisons de leurs existences dans le contexte turc sont mises en avant par le biais des paratextes afin de dresser le panorama des retraductions interlinguales et intralinguales du chef-d’œuvre de Hugo.
L’œuvre de Jacques Brel en traduction suédoise – une médiation à multiples facettes
Authors: Aronsson Mattias
Published: November 2022

Nous étudions dans cet article la traduction et la médiation de l’œuvre de Jacques Brel en suédois. Les questions de recherche sont les suivantes : Quelles chansons de l’artiste belge ont été transférées en suédois ? Quand les interprétations sont-elles sorties sur le marché cible ? Quelles méthodes de traduction peut-on identifier dans les textes cibles ? Les résultats montrent que 52 chansons de Jacques Brel ont été traduites en suédois, et ces traductions ont donné lieu à 168 interprétations en langue cible. Les chansons sources les plus populaires en Suède sont « Ne me quitte pas », « Quand on n’a que l’amour » et « La chanson des vieux amants ». La plupart des textes cibles sont produits après la mort de l’artiste en 1978, et les traducteurs et les interprètes ont été particulièrement actifs pendant les années 1980. Pour l’analyse des méthodes de traduction, nous avons utilisé la typologie de Franzon (2021) et nous avons étudié les chansons qui ont introduit Brel en tant qu’auteur-compositeur dans le pays cible. La conclusion est qu’un processus de consécration de l’artiste s’est produit pendant cette période (1968-1983). Plus Jacques Brel devient connu et consacré en tant qu’auteur-compositeur en Suède, plus les paroles cibles sont fidèles aux textes sources et, par conséquent, aux intentions de l’auteur.
Can the neuroticism-willingness to communicate relationship across languages be explained by anxiety?
Authors: Piechurska-Kuciel Ewa , Ożańska-Ponikwia Katarzyna , Skałacka Katarzyna
Published: November 2022

This study focuses on the role of neuroticism in shaping L1 and L2 users’ communicative behaviour, as represented by the L1/L2 users’ willingness to communicate (WTC). It was expected that this relationship could be explained by language-specific forms of anxiety: communication apprehension (CA) in L1 communication, and language anxiety (LA) in L2 communication. The participants were 621 Polish secondary grammar school students at the intermediate to upper-intermediate levels of English proficiency. Two mediation analyses revealed that for L1 communication, neuroticism was significantly related to WTC, with CA mediating this relationship. For L2 communication, in contrast, this relationship could be observed only when controlling for LA, which suppressed the link between neuroticism and WTC. These findings suggest that the effect of neuroticism on the willingness to communicate is indirect in L2 communication, and detectable with the mediation of language anxiety. It can thus be concluded that the link between personality and aspects of communicative behaviour is likely to be language-dependent, suggesting that it may be necessary to apply more refined research models when assessing L2 effects.

Reflection on: “The Power and Paradoxes of Evaluation Systems – Increasing Use but Impeding Change”
Authors: Magdalenić Sanja
Published: November 2022

For me, evaluation is a fascinating field full of paradoxes and I welcome the fact that the article draws attention to the power and paradoxes of evaluation systems. The reflections that follow, rooted in the Swedish context, come from a PhD in sociology who has learned to love evaluation. I am privileged in that I can move across the Swedish evaluation landscape and its various fields of play such as academia, the Swedish Evaluation Society (SVUF) and the arenas that evaluation researchers tend to call “practice”. Here are my thoughts, sparked by the article, on contestability differential, evaluation systems, the paradox of epistemological coherence and the ways forward.
Democratic Values in Evaluation Systems – A Circle That Can Be Squared?
Authors: Benerdal Malin , Larsson Magnus
Published: November 2022

This paper is concerned with the interlocking of democratic values and evaluation systems. A central issue in evaluation has been adherence to democratic values by speaking truth to power or taking an inclusive approach to evaluands. In parallel with these democratic endeavours, evaluation design has increasingly moved from ad-hoc evaluations toward evaluation systems. The question we raise in this paper is how compatible the democratic endeavours of evaluation are with the rise of evaluation systems as the modus operandi. We apply this question to the case of the Swedish school system and its built-in evaluation system: systematic quality work (SQW). In order to explore the research question, school principals were asked to articulate how the democratic mission is visible in their SQW. The results indicate that prominent managing logics at different school levels seem to affect how well democratic values are incorporated into the SQW, highlighting the need to address the institutional and governing setting of evaluation systems in combination with the actors’ roles and decisions in accordance with the democratic evaluation literature.
Evaluation in Norway: A 25-Year Assessment
Authors: Askim Jostein , Døving Erik , Johnsen Åge
Published: November 2022

This article analyses the Norwegian government’s evaluation practice over the 25-year period from 1994 to 2018. Evaluations are mandatory for government ministries and agencies in Norway, with the government conducting some 100 evaluations annually. This article utilises data from a unique database to describe the development of the evaluation industry, focusing on the volume of evaluations, the most active commissioners and providers of evaluations, and the types of evaluations conducted. First, the analysis indicates that the volume of evaluations peaked in around 2010 and has subsequently decreased. As a possible consequence, information relevant to policy may be less publicly available than before. Second, ministries have commissioned relatively fewer evaluations in the last decade than in the years before, and executive agencies have commissioned relatively more. Third, the proportion of evaluations performed by consultants has risen, with that of research institutes falling.
Reflection on: “Evaluation, Framing and Power”
Authors: Gröjer Anette
Published: November 2022

I have been working in evaluation throughout my entire professional life, both theoretically and in practice. My PhD in Political Science had a specific focus on evaluation. I have worked in a range of evaluation roles including project manager, assessor and head of evaluation departments at authorities such as the Swedish National Agency for Education, the Swedish Higher Education Authority, the Swedish Research Council and the Swedish Agency for Development Evaluation. I have also been part of the European Commission's working groups for planning evaluations and been president and board member of the Swedish Evaluation Society. In this reflection, I mainly focus on the case of PISA, but I also provide an example from the area of higher education.
Shaping Management in Gendered Work – A Comparative Study in the Swedish Public Sector
Authors: Forsberg Tina , Härenstam Annika
Published: November 2022

By exploring management in a study of different municipal departments, this paper contributes to a theoretical and empirical understanding of how the type of work shapes and reproduces management practices and inequality in working conditions within a horizontally segregated public sector. A structural theoretical model guides the design of the empirical qualitative study within education, elderly care and water supply in several Swedish municipalities. The comparative analysis shows that, while managers within water supply take control over management and are allowed to do so, managers in education and care are instructed to take personal responsibility when handling goal conflicts and lack of resources. Gendered norms and values inscribed in the type of work seem to be fundamentally integral to management practices, which affect the local manager’s authority and actions. The results of this study illustrate how management is practiced and reinforces differences in status between different types of work.
Analysis of Social Aid in Turkey During the Covid-19 Epidemic
Authors: Çotur Hüseyin
Published: November 2022

The Covid-19 epidemic started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and was accepted as an epidemic disease by the World Health Organization in January 2020 and was declared a pandemic on March 11th, 2011. Since the beginning of the epidemic, it has caused enormous social and economic losses, and its impacts are still continuing. Due to Covid-19, approximately 6 million people worldwide and a hundred thousand people in Turkey have died so far. Many solutions have been tried to be produced in the world and in Turkey in order to reduce the social and economic effect of Covid-19, which causes enormous social and economic losses, on societies.

Undoubtedly, the economic and social assistance to be provided by the states and other non-governmental organizations during disasters such as Covid-19 is important and necessary in terms of preventing the negativities experienced. Turkey, as the rest of the world, the government has tried to take measures to reduce the economic and social losses of Covid-19 and to fight the epidemic.

In order to reduce the effects of Covid-19, it is important to examine the aid provided in Turkey and to investigate its social and economic effects in terms of being prepared for similar disasters that may occur in the future. In this article, by obtaining the amounts and the qualifications of aids provided by the private sector and public institutions whether they are adequate or not has been examined and evaluated. As a result, it has been evaluated that the Covid-19 epidemic process is managed in a controlled manner due to the adequacy of health personnel and health institutions and also vaccine applications are successful; social and economic aids are provided, but the economic aid is not sufficient compared to the aid provided by developed countries.
Lean manufacturing application in the frozen goods industry
Authors: ERCEG Aleksandar
Published: November 2022

The long-standing producer's market, in which the selling price was the sum of costs and desired profit, has been transformed by globalization into a buyer's market, where profit is the difference between the realized selling price and the production costs. Therefore, every company must approach the reduction of operating costs and the optimal use of the resources at its disposal. Lean thinking can help companies in reducing business costs and increasing productivity. Lean companies can improve their processes and increase their competitiveness in the market. The paper aims to present lean thinking implementation in manufacturing companies to improve procedures and increase competitiveness. Based on proposed improvements to business processes, Frozen Ltd. saved time and costs, making it more competitive in the market and confirming the hypothesis that the lean methodology can help a company perform its business processes better. The company needs to continue with its efforts to use lean since this is not a single event but a journey.
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in the anterior mandible
Authors: Ferreira Ketsia Rayssa Henriques , Meira Clarina Louis Silva , Moraes Josiclei de Castro , Daroz Breno Gonçalvez , Souza Lucas Lacerda de , Xavier Thiago Brito
Published: November 2022

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare, non-invasive, benign neoplasm of slow and progressive growth, originating from the odontogenic epithelium. The benign aspect of AOT predicts a more conservative approach through enucleation and curettage, with larger lesions being subjected to marsupialization prior to surgical treatment. This article aims to report a case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor in the anterior mandible in a male patient who was treated with surgical marsupialization and posterior enucleation. Auxiliary therapeutic techniques can be used effectively to reduce the lesion, and accurate histological diagnosis is mandatory to avoid unnecessary aggressive surgery.
Sustainability and ecology in the architecture of Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Authors: Domazet Sanja , Nadić Darko
Published: November 2022

Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser today stands for a veritable example of a man as an accomplished ecological being. The merging of art, architecture, politics, and ecology into one utopian concept oriented towards the future positioned Hundertwasser not only an architectural experimenter but also as a specific visionary of ecological architecture. Throughout his lifetime, Hundertwasser opposed the so-called "mainstream" culture and materialism, which later contributed to his popularity. This popularity is certainly limited just as for those circles of social activists who believed that architecture must possess a "human figure". He was a man who, through art, knowledge of nature and its processes, created a new chapter in various fields, such as painting and design, all the way to architecture and the fight to preserve nature. This paper deals with the contribution of an unconventional artist to architecture and ecology. The introductory discussion approximates the significance of sustainable architecture, while the first part of the paper presents a brief biographical overview of Hundertwasser's character and oeuvre, as well as his understanding of life. The second part of the paper focuses on his views of the importance of ecological identity and the place of architecture in it, while the third part of the paper shows examples of the ideas of sustainable construction and their possible implementation in practice.
The trend forecast model in the achievement of energy security of the countries and regional complexes
Authors: Stanojević Petar
Published: November 2022

The paper describes and illustrates a simple, robust, yet sufficiently detailed model that ensures quick and accurate enough forecast of trends and their possible effect on the processes related to energy security and, accordingly, global security. The heuristic model also takes into account diversity in the understanding of the energy paradigm. It is based on the 4As definition of energy security (Acceptability, Availability, Affordability, Accessibility) and uses the regional security complex theory. It considers four factors of the first and twenty-three factors of the second level. The created model enables considering the factors that are difficult to measure, which makes the forecast comprehensive. The model is applied in the cases of the EU, Serbia and China. The conclusion is that a set of factors acting towards the reduction of energy security of the countries whose strategic aspiration is the "green paradigm" exceeds by far the number of those with positive effects. The results point to the conclusion that China should continue the current energy strategy. The actual application of the model, through the analysis of influential factors, indicates the problems that will have their security-related repercussions. The factors that need to be treated as priorities have been singled out if the actual situation needs improvement for the purpose of increasing and maintaining energy security of a country or a regional complex.
Aproximación a las nuevas formas de sociabilidad digital impulsadas por la pandemia
Authors: Manzanera-Román Salvador , Brändle Señán Gaspar Rufo
Published: November 2022

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has fostered the digital turn, which has resulted in the transformation of different areas of daily life. The goal of this work is to identify new digital practices and their social impact in this context of progressive digitization. By means of a methodology based on a bibliographical and secondary data sources review, the work stresses some of the consequences of these digital habits, such as self-exploitation due to the difficulty of dissociating between leisure time and teleworking, videodysformia and exhaustion caused by the permanent videoconferences, the excess of misinformation or the lack of digital privacy and security. To prevent these undesirable effects of a hyperconnected, hyperactive and unequal society, the adoption of digital hygiene measures is proposed to minimize risks and turn them into opportunities. The improvement of digital skills becomes essential to achieve this aim.

La pandemia provocada por la COVID-19 ha contribuido a acelerar el giro digital, lo que tiene como resultado la transformación de distintos ámbitos de la cotidianidad. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar nuevas prácticas digitales y su impacto social en este contexto de progresiva digitalización. A partir de una metodología basada en la revisión bibliográfica y de fuentes de datos secundarias, se visibilizan algunas de las consecuencias de estos hábitos digitales, tales como la autoexplotación por la dificultad de disociación entre tiempos de ocio y teletrabajo, la videodisformia y el agotamiento por las permanentes videoconferencias, el exceso de desinformación o la falta de privacidad y seguridad digitales. Para prevenir estos efectos indeseados de una sociedad hiperconectada, hiperactiva y desigual, se propone la adopción de medidas de precaución e higiene digital que minimicen los riesgos y los tornen en oportunidades, siendo clave para ello la mejora de las competencias digitales.
Enredos bibliográficos y catalogación: Pedro Escuer y sus supuestas emisiones de 1634
Authors: Ruiz Astiz Javier
Published: November 2022

Este artículo pretende mostrar lo necesaria que es la bibliografía para llevar a cabo una correcta catalogación del libro antiguo. Para ello se estudian tres obras de Prudencio de Sandoval que fueron publicadas en Pamplona entre 1614 y 1615, y con posterioridad todas ellas supuestamente reeditadas en forma de emisiones por Pedro Escuer en 1634. Gracias a este trabajo se comprueba que tras estas últimas también estuvo Martín de Labayen, impresor pamplonés que habría pactado con el mercader zaragozano sacar al mercado dichos títulos como si fuesen nuevas ediciones. Se consigue aclarar, por tanto, este enredo bibliográfico.

This document provides guidance on how an organization can use metrics to identifies the adequacy of an in-place security controls, policies, and procedures. It provides an approach to help management decide where to invest in additional security protection resources or identify and evaluate nonproductive controls. It explains the metric development and implementation process and how it can also be used to adequately justify security control investments. The results of an effective metric program can provide useful data for directing the allocation of information security resources and should simplify the preparation of performance-related reports.
Discrepancies between clinical diagnoses and autopsy findings: A comparative study conducted in South Africa
Authors: Joubert DM , Rossouw SH , Solomon C , Meyer PWA
Published: November 2022

Background. The anatomical pathology autopsy serves several purposes, notably as a quality management tool for evaluation of accuracy in clinical diagnosis. Despite its value, for various reasons there has been an international decline in autopsies conducted. In the modern medical era, with all its advances in technology, diagnostic techniques and interventions, there is still a high discrepancy between clinical diagnoses and postmortem findings.Objectives. To establish the discrepancies between clinical diagnoses and postmortem findings in anatomical pathology autopsies.Methods. A retrospective, descriptive study was conducted over the 4-year-period 2014 - 2017. The clinical diagnoses and postmortem findings of cases referred to the Department of Anatomical Pathology at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, were evaluated and compared using the modified Goldman criteria.Results. A total of 288 cases qualified for the study and were evaluated. The gender distribution was 155 (53.8%) male and 133 (48.2%) female, with the majority of cases in the age group 19 - 60 years (mean 36.4). The majority of the cases were referred by internal medicine, followed by paediatrics. The most common cause of death in major missed diagnoses was pulmonary conditions. Of the cases, 115 (39.3%) had a major discrepancy and 62 (21.5%) a minor discrepancy.Conclusion. This study showed that there is still a high discrepancy between clinical diagnoses and postmortem findings, similar to studies conducted globally. The current COVID-19 pandemic may be a driver for revival of the anatomical pathology autopsy, and future studies are recommended to evaluate whether the decline can be reversed.
