Kogi Demonstratives and Engagement
Authors: Knuchel Dominique 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
While demonstratives typically signal aspects of the spatial configuration of speech act participants and objects in the speech situation, intersubjective parameters, such as the attentional state of the interlocutor, have recently gained importance in the analysis of such forms. Several systems have been described in which the use of certain forms is conditioned by shared vs. non-shared attention towards a referent. Phenomena of this kind have recently been considered under the notion of ‘engagement’, i.e. the expression of a speaker’s assumptions about the knowledge or attention of their interlocutor (Evans et al. 2018a, b).
The present study contributes to the ongoing investigation of engagement by a descriptive account of demonstratives in Kogi (Chibchan). It is argued that the use of certain (ad)nominal forms that were initially associated with addressee proximity cannot be accounted for in merely spatial terms. The paper proposes a novel analysis in terms of engagement and shows that the forms apply when a referent is in the attention of, or is known to both interlocutors. Evidence in support of this comes from elicited data as well as an interactive matching game in which attentional states of participants can be observed.
The Role of Context in Translating Colour Metaphors: An Experiment on English into Estonian Translation
Authors: Kalda Anu , Uusküla Mari 
Published: January 2020

AbstractContemporary theory on metaphor states that metaphor is conceptual, conventional, and part of the ordinary system of thought and language. It has been argued that metaphors can become a translation problem, since transferring them from one language and culture to another may be restricted by linguistic and cultural differences. We investigated how colour metaphors are translated from English into Estonian. To understand how metaphors are translated, a cognitive empirical study was carried out with 21 colour metaphors. The experiment was conducted with two separate groups of volunteers. The first group participated in a context-based translation task, the second in a context-free one.The experiment indicates that colour metaphors are culture specific. It also revealed that context plays a crucial role in the comprehension and translation of colour metaphors. The more novel and original the metaphor is, the more varied are the translation strategies used by the participants (e.g.yellow-bellied person). Differences in translation choices were obvious between translators and non-translators. Qualitative differences appeared as translators were more target culture oriented and non-translators more source culture oriented, for example.
The Essences of Objects: Explicating a Theory of Essence in Object-Oriented Ontology
Authors: Howdyshell Stanford 
Published: January 2020

AbstractIn this paper, I will discuss the need for a theory of essences within Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) and then formulate one. I will do so by drawing on Graham Harman’s work on OOO and Martin Heidegger’s thought on the essence of being, presented in hisIntroduction to Metaphysics. Harman touches on essences, describing them as the tension between a withdrawn object and its withdrawn qualities, but fails to distinguish between essential and inessential qualities within this framework. To fill in the gaps, I will turn to Heidegger’s explication ofphusisin order to show that an essential aspect of being is how one enters into causal relations and continually reveals oneself to other beings. In bringing OOO and Heidegger together, I will find that each object has a unique way of exerting itself in the world and that the domestic relations that make up this unique profile are essential to it, while other domestic relations, those that do not influence its particular way of exerting itself, are inessential. Thus, the essence will be found to be the set of domestic relations that make up the determinate form, or unique causal profile, of the object.
On Correlationism and the Philosophy of (Human) Access: Meillassoux and Harman
Authors: Young Niki 
Published: January 2020

AbstractSpeculative Realism (SR) has often been characterised as a heterogeneous group of thinkers, united almost exclusively in their commitment to the critique of what Quentin Meillassoux terms ‘correlationism’ or what Graham Harman calls the ‘philosophy of (human) access.’ The terms ‘correlationism’ and ‘philosophy of access’ are in turn often treated – at times even by Meillassoux and Harman themselves – as synonymous. In this paper, I seek to analyse these terms to evaluate their similarities, but also possible differences. I shall argue that the difference between the two terms ought to be retained and emphasised, since it hints at important differences between the positions of Harman and Meillassoux.
Influences of Contact Force towards Dressing Contiguous Sense of Linen Clothing
Authors: Kuang Caiyuan , Ye Cong , Liu Guolian 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
In this paper, the experimental paradigm of cognitive behaviors to study the cognitive activities in the contiguous sense cognition of the tested linen clothing is introduced. The experimental program is written with E-Prime 2.0, while the expression of experimental stimulus material is realized with the developed dressing contiguous sense measurement device, which output the senses of urtication, roughness and smoothness among the fabric contiguous sense. Changing the relative force for the contact between fabric and human skin, the dressing contiguous sense is tested in different contiguous force conditions. The result shows that, with the increase of relative contiguous force, the evaluation value for the sense of urtication is increase, the value for the roughness sense is also increase, but that for the smoothness sense is decrease.
What is in three words? Exploring a three-word methodology for assessing impressions of a social robot encounter online and in real life
Authors: Damholdt Malene Flensborg , Christina Vestergaard , Kryvous Anna , Smedegaard Catharina Vesterager , Seibt Johanna 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
We explore the impressions and conceptualisations produced by participants after their first encounter with the teleoperated robot, Telenoid R1.
Participants were invited to freely report the first three words that came to mind after seeing the robot. Here we triangulate (i) three-word data from an online survey (n=340) where respondents saw a brief video of the Telenoid with (ii) three-word data from an interaction study where participants interacted with a physically present Telenoid (n=75) and, (iii) data from qualitative interviews (n=7) with participants who had engaged with the Telenoid. Data were subjected to sentiment analysis, linguistic analysis and regression analysis.
Ranking of the most frequently produced words in the two groups revealed an overlap on the top-10 produced words (6 out of 10 words). Sentiment analysis and regression revealed an association between negative predicates and the online condition. Sentiments were not convincingly associated with age or gender. Linguistic categorisations of the data revealed that especially adjectives expressing response-dependent features were frequent. We did not find any consistent statistical effect on categorising the words into cognitive and emotional predicates.
The proposed three-word method offers, unguided approach to explore initial conceptualisations of robots.
A New Approach to Assessment of Bird Carcass Removal (Scavenging) Time on Wind Farm in Egypt
Authors: Abdou Wed Abdellatif Ibrahim 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Wind farms developing rapidly in order to meet the high demand for energy from green sources. However, the impact of wind farm operation on the environment still needs to be established. The risk to wild birds is drawing the attention of stakeholders and bird conservation organizations. Carcass search is the main method used to assess the impact of wind farm operation on wild birds of various systematic groups and sizes. Assessment of the overall risk that wind farms pose to birds depends primarily on accurate calculation of carcass removal times and the detection ability of the searcher.
Most studies have assessed the carcass removal time using pet bird species, pigeons, or various local birds. In Egypt, all studies conducted in operating wind farms up to 2016 had used chickens to assess the carcass removal time and in this way to the estimate the total number of bird fatalities within wind farms.
The use of birds killed by a wind farm in carcass removal trials provides the actual time of carcass disappearance, in contrast with the use of other bird species. The removal times of carcasses of parakeets, quails, partridges and chickens were shorter than those of carcasses of White Stork, White Pelican, Honey Buzzard, Black Kites and eagles used in the current study and in another study in Australia.
The results of the present study indicate that carcasses of birds killed within the studied wind farm remain for two to three months, while the carcasses of other in species other localities remain no more than 1 to 15 days, which unquestionably influences the calculation of total fatalities and leads to overestimation of the overall risk that wind farms for birds.
Autumn Migration of the Wood Pigeon, Columba palumbus, at Eastern Part of the Polish Baltic Coast
Authors: Machowina Justyna M. , Rząd Izabella 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The Wood Pigeon, Columba palumbus, is a common diurnal migrant across most of the Europe. The visual observations were carried out during autumn work of the Operation Baltic ringing stations, mainly at Mierzeja Wiślana (54°21’N, 19°19’E) parallely to the ringing of birds. Observations of passing birds were performed 15 minutes per every hour from sunrise to sunset. The autumn observation period was long enough to cover whole pigeons migration at the southern coast of Baltic (14 Aug. – 11 Nov.). Altogether 119,019 Wood Pigeons were observed within 20 seasons of observations. The goals of this work is (1) to describe the course of the Wood Pigeon autumn migration at the Polish Baltic coast as to numbers in long-term aspect and the seasonality of migration, (2) to propose further development in the study on wave structure of the bird passage. The main analysis of this work-description of the seasonal dynamics of migration - was carried out with modified and widened method used for that kind of analysis in earlier publications. In the present paper the wave structure is described by the estimated border days between supposed waves taking under consideration different properties of the passage dynamics. Here are used three groups of parameters: (1) total numbers of birds observed daily during several years, inter-year variability (as SD between year number values), and the coefficient of variation (V), (2) number of migration peaks that occurred in that date within years of the study (there were used two classes of peaks – High Peaks and Peaks), (3) numbers of birds passing during recognized peak days. All estimations were done independently of others and only finally summarized using common ranking scheme. Such step by step procedure make estimation more and more reliable. Very high agreement between estimations based on three groups of parameters suggests strongly that the proposed estimation procedure is effective enough.
Estimation of the Autumn Migration Pattern of Passerines within the SE European Flyway by Orientation Cage Tests
Authors: Busse Przemysław 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The general migration pattern of passerines can be estimated using a variety of methods. A number of partial analyses based on ringing data, usually limited to a few species, have been published. A very few continent-scale presentations have been offered, as extremely long periods of ringing activity are necessary for passerines. This is especially true for areas where the recovery rate is very low, including vast areas of north-eastern and eastern Europe and the Middle East/Africa. Similarly, radar and moon-watching studies are of limited value for drawing migration patterns within wider areas. Radar studies require good coverage by the radar systems, while weather radar distribution density and the level of evaluation are very uneven. Modern logger and satellite tracking are more applicable to non-passerines, and as yet enable detailed study only of limited numbers of individuals, and not population studies. At the end of the 20th century, a very simple tool was introduced for field studies on the preferred headings of individual birds caught for ringing, i.e. the use of flat orientation cages. This method was introduced as a standard within the SEEN (SE European Bird Migration Network) in 1995. This study presents a preliminary large-scale evaluation of the data collected within this project. The database used contains more than 43,000 orientation tests performed at 45 ringing sites. The area covered stretches from the northern part of western Russia to southern Egypt and from Italy and Poland to Siberia and Armenia. Eight streams of migration are identified within this area, creating a fairly complicated pattern of avian movements.
Evaluating of daylighting in selected office room: Case of Study
Authors: Erika Dolnikova 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
On average, we spend 90% of our time indoor particularly at work and a healthy work space is essential to that feeling of wellbeing. In a typical building, lighting accounts for up to 40% of energy consumption. Allowing more natural light to penetrate the building and controlling both the light and heat components of power consumption, will result in significant reductions. However, using natural light doesn´t come without some issues. Glare, overheating, variability and privacy issues can all cause problems. Daylight is a basic human need, which is highlighted by the provision of transparent and translucent surfaces to all occupied spaces that we see around us. In many cases, the drive to create healthier, more occupant-conscious buildings works hand in hand with the requirement for greater energy efficiency. This article presents illumination of indoor workspace using daylight lighting. Measured values were compared with values calculated by simulation program Velux Daylight Visualizer 3.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Results of daylight illuminance measurements of the field testing of two light guides with different roof installations is presented in the article. The first one is a common tubular system with a glass roof dome and the second one is a new light guide prototype with a concentrator head. The daylight illuminance was measured in a test chamber with the light guides installation. The measurements were carried out at the end of a summer season from August to September 2017. The measured data show differences in the daylight illuminance of the two tested light guides. The measured data were compared with simulation outputs in software Holigilm. In summary, it was found that the common light guide is about 37 percentage more efficient in light transmittance compared to the new light guide prototype. In temperate climate with dominant cloudy and partly cloudy daylight conditions the common light guide transmitted more light that the device with the concentrator head which reduced light transmission much more.
Evaluation of concrete deterioration under simulated acid rain environment
Authors: Smolakova Michaela , Estokova Adriana 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Acid rain is identified as one of the most serious environmental problems nowadays and it is mainly a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids. Deterioration of concrete structures exposed to aggressive acid rain attack is a key durability issue that affects the performance and maintenance costs of vital civil infrastructures. The motivation for understanding the acid rain corrosion process is high because of the early age deterioration of many concrete structures exposed to acid rain. The main objective of this study was to investigate the durability of concrete specimens with different supplementary cementitious materials, such as fly ash, zeolite and blast furnace slag against acid rain attack. Experiments of acid rain simulation influence on the composites were carried out for 7 weeks and parameters like visual changes, absorbability and leachability of calcium and silicon ions were evaluated. The increase in absorbability was detected for all samples while the sample with blast furnace slag was identified to be the most durable in this point of view. The most durable sample considering leached-out calcium and silicon ions was found to be sample with fly ash.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Sustainable construction and its architecture of buildings seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency in the use of materials, energy, and development space and the ecosystem at large. Sustainable buildings use a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the built environment in cities. This article is devoted to the environmental assessment of three family houses which represent three different material and design solutions. The houses were evaluated through the Slovak building environmental assessment system (BEAS), which has been developed for Slovak conditions at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, TUKE. This study shows that the influence of green design, compared to traditional construction, is important and more beneficial for the practice of designing sustainable buildings. It creates the most comprehensive relationship between the building and its environment and significantly affects building sustainability.

Authors: Figmig Róbert , Kováč Marek 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Article contains experiment investigating influence of partial cement replacement by zeolite on consistency of fresh concrete, early compressive strength development and temperature development in early stages of curing. Four concrete mixture compositions were tested – containing zeolite in 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% of binder weight. Consistency was tested by flow table test in 5 minutes and 30 minutes after mixing of fresh concrete. Compressive strength and temperature gain were tested after 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours of curing. Results showed significant influence of zeolite on consistency of fresh concrete while compressive strength results were still in the acceptable range.
Deflection of concrete slabs with GFRP reinforcement caused by shrinkage
Authors: Kušnírová Darina , Priganc Sergej 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The use of new reinforcing materials and products in the construction industry requires their thorough assessment for a variety of design situations. One of the significant effects is the shrinkage of the concrete, which in the case of asymmetrically reinforced elements can cause the element to be deformed. The research was focused on slabs asymmetrically reinforced by composite reinforcement (GFRP) and by three reinforcement stages. To eliminate the effect of concrete non-homogeneity, a concrete slab of the same dimensions was made of the same concrete. The results show a significant effect of shrinkage on reinforced slabs.
Integration der Geflüchteten in den Arbeitsmarkt: Ziele, Strategien und Hemmnisse aus Sicht der Jobcenter
Authors: Boockmann Bernhard , Scheu Tobias 
Published: January 2020

AbstractZiel dieses Beitrags ist es, wichtige Herausforderungen und Handlungsansätze der Jobcenter bei der Integration der Geflüchteten in Arbeit zu identifizieren. Hierzu wurden qualitative Interviews in fünf Jobcentern durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse geben Aufschluss über Vorbedingungen und Problemlagen sowie über Ziele, Strategien und Instrumente bei der Betreuung von Geflüchteten. Übereinstimmend wird das geschäftspolitische Ziel der Vermeidung von Langzeit-Leistungsbezug betont. Andere Ziele wie die Integration in Arbeit oder die soziale und kulturelle Integration haben je nach Jobcenter einen unterschiedlichen Stellenwert. Entsprechend unterschiedlich fallen auch die Strategien der Jobcenter und ihre Bewertung von arbeitsmarktpolitischen Maßnahmen aus. Die Wahl der Strategien durch die Jobcenter wird durch Kontextfaktoren wie Vorerfahrungen mit Migrantengruppen im SGB II und die regionale Arbeitsmarktsituation beeinflusst.
Finanzialisierung als Entdifferenzierung – Zur wachsenden Verschränkung von Finanzmarkt und Wohlfahrtsstaat in der deutschen Sozialpolitik
Authors: Rohringer Julia , Münnich Sascha 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Der vorliegende Artikel zielt auf ein vertieftes konzeptionelles Verständnis der wachsenden Verschränkung von Finanzmarkt und Wohlfahrtsstaat. Wir schlagen vor, diesen Prozess als Entdifferenzierung zu konzeptualisieren – als eine Neubestimmung der institutionellen Verschränkung von wohlfahrtsstaatlichen und finanzwirtschaftlichen Geldkreisläufen. Diese Perspektive entwickeln wir aus einer theoretischen Zusammenschau der Literatur zur Finanzialisierung in der Politischen Ökonomie und der Wohlfahrtsstaatsforschung. Anhand von deskriptiven Daten zur Transformation der deutschen Sozialpolitik identifizieren wir dann vier Kanäle der Entdifferenzierung von Finanzmarkt und Sozialsystem: Die private Vorsorge im Sparverhalten der Haushalte, den Bedeutungszuwachs privater Versicherungen, das Anlageverhalten der Sozialversicherungsträger sowie die private Verschuldung als sozialpolitisches Problem. Schließlich weisen unsere Beobachtungen darauf hin, dass im deutschen Bismarck’schen Wohlfahrtsmodell Entdifferenzierung maßgeblich durch vermittelnde Institutionen im Sinne privater Versicherungsunternehmen einerseits und der gesetzlichen Sozialversicherung andererseits geprägt wird.
Zur fehlenden Äquivalenz von Mindestsicherungsbezug und Armutsgefährdung
Authors: Cischinsky Holger , Weber Ines 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Die Armutsgefährdungsquote unterscheidet sich in Deutschland von der Mindestsicherungsquote. In Übereinstimmung mit anderen Studien zeigt unsere Analyse mit Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels, dass neben der Überschneidung beider Gruppen es auch Haushalte gibt, die trotz Mindestsicherungsbezugs nicht armutsgefährdet sind, während andere Haushalte zwar armutsgefährdet sind, jedoch keine Mindestsicherungsleistungen beziehen. Die empirischen Auswertungen weisen darauf hin, dass diese Unterschiede von der Art des Haushaltstyps und des Wohnorts abhängen. Da diese Ex-post-Analyse jedoch unvermeidlich unpräzise ist, greift dieser Artikel ferner auf ein Analysetool zurück, welches eine Ex-ante-Analyse des Mindestsicherungsanspruchs auf der Haushaltsebene ermöglicht. Die vorgenommene Analyse identifiziert die zugrundeliegenden Gründe für die beobachtete fehlende Übereinstimmung zwischen Armutsgefährdungs- und Mindestsicherungsquote.
