Ellen Glasgow’s In This Our Life: “The Betrayals of Life” in the Crumbling Aristocratic South
Authors: Milică Iulia Andreea 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Ellen Glasgow’s works have received, over time, a mixed interpretation, from sentimental and conventional, to rebellious and insightful. Her novel In This Our Life (1941) allows the reader to have a glimpse of the early twentieth-century South, changed by the industrial revolution, desperately clinging to dead codes, despairing and struggling to survive. The South is reflected through the problems of a family, its sentimentality and vulnerability, but also its cruelty, pretensions, masks and selfishness, trying to find happiness and meaning in a world of traditions and codes that seem powerless in the face of progress. The novel, apparently simple and reduced in scope, offers, in fact, a deep insight into various issues, from complicated family relationships, gender pressures, racial inequality to psychological dilemmas, frustration or utter despair. The article’s aim is to depict, through this novel, one facet of the American South, the “aristocratic” South of belles and cavaliers, an illusory representation indeed, but so deeply rooted in the world’s imagination. Ellen Glasgow is one of the best choices in this direction: an aristocratic woman but also a keen and profound writer, and, most of all, a writer who loved the South deeply, even if she exposed its flaws.
Icebound Modernity: The Shipwreck as Metaphor in Dan Simmons’ The Terror
Authors: Lovasz Adam 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In this article, I seek to present a “metaphorology” of the shipwreck through a literary example. As Hans Blumenberg has noted, the shipwreck has served as a metaphor for the contingency of human existence in Western culture. Building on Blumenberg’s ideas, I argue that modernity heightens contingency and destroys the possibility of a coherent, anthropocentric discourse. For Quentin Meillassoux, the modern outlook exposes the contingency and inhumanity of reality. Building on Meillassoux and Blumenberg’s work, I address ideas pertaining to contingency and the metaphor of modernity-as-shipwreck by engaging with Dan Simmons’ historical novel, The Terror (2007), based on events surrounding the failed Franklin Expedition of 1845-48. The sinister, frozen wastelands of the Arctic figure as the limit of both European humanity and rationality. In Simmons’ novel, the traumatic encounter with cultural otherness conjures up visions of an implosion of colonial ambitions, as the crew members are gradually consumed by both the harsh environment and the ancient Inuit ice demon Tuunbaq and must confront the indifferent frozen wastes of a mythological, gothic North. Simmons’ gothic North Pole constitutes an example of “extro-science fiction,” situated beyond the limits of all knowledge.
Forgotten partners and function regulators of inducible metallothioneins
Authors: Pavić Mirela , Turčić Petra , Ljubojević Marija 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Metallothioneins are peculiar cysteine rich, heat resistant, small cellular plasma proteins expressed through almost all life forms. The currently established biological functions of metallothioneins are the homeostasis of essential metals and protection against toxic transitional metals (TM) alongside defence from oxidative stress by direct scavenging of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS). In mammals, among the four main evolutionary conserved forms, only the ubiquitously expressed metallothionein 1 and 2 (here abbreviated as MT) are inducible by TM, oxidative stress, glucocorticoids and starvation among various other stimuli. However, more than sixty years after being discovered, metallothioneins still bear unresolved issues about their possible physiological function and regulation. The biological function of MTs has still not been associated with the in vitro-demonstrated capacity of MT interaction with cellular molecules glutathione (GSH) or adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or with the possibility of direct iron-MT binding in the reducing intracellular environment of some organelles, e.g. lysosomes. Iron as the most abundant cellular TM is also one of the main physiological sources of ROS. Moreover, iron exhibits strain, sex and age differences that reflected ROS generation and MT induction in (patho)physiology and toxicology studies. A recent study showed that iron sex differences follows expression of both ferritin and MT leading to wide implications from essential TM interconnectivity to aging. This review places emphasis on biochemically proven but physiologically ignored interactions of MT with iron to stimulate advanced research for establishing a wide frame of the biological roles of MTs important for health and longevity.
Negative correlation between the number of sunspots and the occurrence of 7Be and 22Na in the surface air and their contribution to radiation doses
Authors: Brodnik Drago , Glavič-Cindro Denis , Korun Matjaž , Nečemer Marijan , Maver-Modec Petra , Petrovič Toni , Vidmar Tim , Vodenik Branko , Zorko Benjamin 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article presents yearly mean concentrations of cosmogenic radionuclides 7Be and 22Na occurring in dry and wet depositions (fallout) and aerosols. Time dependencies negatively correlated with the yearly mean number of sunspots. Activity concentrations of 7Be and 22Na in aerosols in the surface air had a correlation of near-unity. 7Be in aerosols exhibited a smoother time dependence than 22Na, implying that the production of 22Na is more sensitive to the solar activity than the production of 7Be. The effect of the measured doses on the general population through internal and external exposure to radiation from cosmogenic radionuclides was small.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the effect of irinotecan (IRI) on urinary elimination of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in a rat experimental model, we developed an analytical method for the determination of the mass concentration of THC and its metabolites [11-hydroxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-OH) and 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH)] in the urine of rats treated only with THC and treated simultaneously with THC and irinotecan. For this purpose, hydrolysis and solid phase extraction conditions of the investigated analytes were optimised and a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed to determine all three analytes in rat urine. The most effective hydrolysis method for THC, THC-OH, and THC-COOH conjugates was so-called tandem hydrolysis by the β-glucuronidase enzyme from Escherichia coli at 50 °C for 2 hours and followed by alkaline hydrolysis. The proposed method was then applied for determining concentrations of analytes in 24-hour rat urine. THC was not detected in either sample, THC-OH was detected in 50 % of samples, and THC-COOH in all of the samples. Enhanced urinary THC-COOH excretion was noted in rats administered combined treatment compared to single THC treatment. The method described herein was suitable for determining the mass concentration of THC metabolites in the rat urine due to its sensitivity (detection limits: 0.8-1.0 μg/L), accuracy (>96 %), and precision (RSD <6 %).
Multidimensional model of managing older employees: The case of financial service companies in Slovenia
Authors: Rožman Maja , Čančer Vesna 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Future economic growth and competitiveness will increasingly depend on how effectively employers can utilise their ageing workforces. To manage the inevitable changes in demographics, employers need to start preparing for an ageing workforce and developing strategies to manage and retain older employees. The main objective of this paper is to determine the impact of leadership and employee relations on work satisfaction of older employees, as well as to determine the impact of work satisfaction on the work engagement of older employees in financial service companies in Slovenia. To test the hypotheses, the authors used structural equation modelling. The results show that the effects of leadership and employee relations on work satisfaction in the case of older employees in financial service companies in Slovenia are positive, and the effect of work satisfaction on the work engagement of older employees is positive, too.

Ways of Automatic Identification of Words Belonging to Semantic Field
Authors: Zakharov Victor 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The paper presents results of the ongoing research on creation of the semantic field of the “empire” concept. A semantic field is a collection of content units covering a certain area of human experience and forming a relatively autonomous microsystem with one or several centers. Relations in such microsystems are also called associations. The idea is to extract from data on syntagmatic collocability a set of lexical units connected by systemic paradigmatic relations of various types and strength using distributional analysis techniques. The first goal of the study is to develop methodology to fill a semantic field with lexical units on the basis of morphologically tagged corpora. We were using the Sketch Engine corpus system that implements the method of distributional statistical analysis. Text material is represented by our own corpora in the domain of “empire”. In the course of the work we have acquired lists of items filling the semantic space around the concept of “empire”.
From the National Corpus of Polish to the Polish Corpus Infrastructure
Authors: Ogrodniczuk Maciej , Górski Rafał L. , Łaziński Marek , Pęzik Piotr 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The National Corpus of Polish emerged as a cumulative result of many years of work on large reference corpora by computer scientists and linguists in Poland. While its impact on research in linguistics, humanities and language technology is unquestionable and highly significant, the construction of the national corpus was halted in 2011. In the paper we call for activating the research community and funding institutions around the construction of a corpus infrastructure with the national corpus at its heart. It is claimed that on the verge of an artificial intelligence revolution the envisaged Polish Corpus Infrastructure would provide reliable language data, combine available resources and allow easy integration of new ones.
New Generations of Students from the Perspective of Value Co-Creation at University
Authors: Pluta-Olearnik Mirosława 
Published: December 2019

Summary
At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, new paradigms emerged regarding the value creation in management and marketing in organizations. They causes also redefining the role of universities as a service organization and participants in the process of higher education (including especially students, lecturers, management). In this context, the current and important research problem appears to be the impact of new generations of students, exhibiting different attitudes and purchasing behaviors from on the image of a modern university. A particular challenge for the higher education organization is therefore the problem not only of creating and delivering the expected value as part of the education service, but the issue of shaping positive educational experiences with the active participation of actors in the entire education cycle.
The aim of the article is to identify the attitudes and behavior of the young generation of students at Polish universities and to diagnose their potential in the process of co-creating the value of an educational service. By adopting the paradigm of co-creating a service based on variables such as co-production, relationships and experience, we can determine the possibilities of formulating the strategy and image of Polish universities. In particular we focus on chances of implementing the co-creating concept of an educational service at a higher level from a student's perspective. The article reviews secondary research based on foreign and polish literature and — on this basis — indicates different behavioral students styles and their readiness to participate in co-creating the educational service at the university. The diagnosis and final conclusions refer to the results of studies carried out in 2017 at selected polish economic universities, in the field of management, and published by Polish researchers in reputable scientific journals and books.
Academic authenticity of neuro-linguistic programming as a discursive practice
Authors: Gilyasev Yu. V. 
Published: December 2019

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is considered to be one of the socially valued practices whose conceptual and methodological grounds can be articulated when seen in the light of its discursive representation. Characterization and evaluation of this area in applied psychology proceeds through analysis of expert standpoints and views rendered in secondary sources where they express the conformity level of the discourse in question to academic standards existent in psychology as a theory. Special attention is given to the propositional expression of the ideas defining NLP studies as well as to the exposure of presuppositional attitudes of the NLP expert whose textbook is under discussion in the article. The logical correctness and validity of those presuppositions are analyzed in relation to their adequate representation of scientific or mass worldview. After having exposed the author’s intentions one can state the pragmatic strategy and ideology pursued by the NLP expert in the textbook alongside with the identity of NLP as a discursive and social practice, its position among other discursive practices. The results obtained after the analysis of a particular piece of NLP discourse are congruent with the current trends typical of postmodernist consumerist society. Characteristic postmodernist ways to organize verbal interaction – in particular, forms of discourse imitation, its variation and hybridization – are found in the examples provided. A practical workbook on NLP in English was taken as a source for evidence. Critical discourse-analysis (CDA) served as the guiding approach to the problem, which was realized at some points of the study as contextual analysis, definitive analysis, interpretation method, statistical procedures altogether with quantitative estimation.
Diachronic analysis of coloronyms in French scientific-chemical discourse: semantic & structural-syntactical aspects
Authors: Volkova M. V. 
Published: December 2019

This paper is devoted to the structural-semantic evolution of French coloronyms in scientific chemical discourse. The author analyzes the definition of scientific chemical discourse and its distinctive functional-linguistic characteristics, such as aim, agents, clients, functional space, linguistic peculiarities. Coloronyms are described as colour terms, promoting the enrichment of the scientific-chemical communication. Semantic analysis of vast empirical material helps to create the classification of coloronyms based on their etymology (coloronyms of animal origin, mineral origin, synthetic origin, metallic origin). The author carries out meticulous diachronic analysis of coloronyms in French scientific chemical discourse in the XIXth – XXth centuries with regard to the structural and syntactical aspects.French scientific chemical discourse is a special sphere of communication which is actively developing and possesses its own set of peculiar functional-linguistic parametres. With the help of diachronic analysis of the scientific-chemical texts of the XIXth and XXth centuries the author reveals structural-syntactical transformations, e.g. simplification of structural models, the tendency to the diversity of syntactical roles of coloronyms.

The Challenge of Indonesian Diplomacy Against Palm Oil Discrimination
Authors: Suwarno Windratmo 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTIndonesia will continue to face a discrimination of palm commodity in European Union in the next decade. The challenge the European black campaign against palm oil is not easy to overcome. Most of European people have a bad perception about palm oil. The issue of palm oil is not only about the forestation, but also it is influenced by bad perception on health and social impact. It is a time for Indonesian diplomacy to make a strategy to resolve this issue by improving public diplomacy through lobbying, corporate diplomacy and identification of stakeholders. Although in the European Parliament statement does not mention the elimination of palm oil, discrimination against palm oil will continue in the trilogy. Palm oil must face accusations from various interested parties such as NGOs and members of parliament who have relations with farmers in Europe. They have a strategy to phase out using palm oil for biofuels. The issue of palm oil is not only about a battle of the vegetable industry anymore, but it is more about politics to defend other vegetable oil in the market by disseminating any kind issues related to oil palm plantation. It must be deal with the total diplomacy taken by all stakeholders in Indonesia and in Europe. Key words: oil palm, public diplomacy, biofuels, European Parliament

Published: December 2019

Classroom instructors have a task to choose the most appropriate strategies for effective teaching to enhance student achievement. The study sought to establish factors that influence classroom instructors to select suitable instructional strategies to use for teaching SiSwati as a first language in primary schools in Eswatini. The study adopted an interpretive paradigm where a qualitative research approach and a multiple case study were used. Schools and teachers were purposively sampled. The study used face to face interviews as a primary research instrument, document analysis and observations supplemented the interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyse data. The findings of the study revealed that learners who were highly and responsive to instruction easily comprehend when taught in a variety of complex ways. The study revealed that once learners perform well, teachers used routine instructional methods. The study concluded that most teachers struggle in selecting appropriate teaching strategies when teaching Siswati. It was recommended that the Ministry of education should engage subject specialists who will assist teachers in selection of appropriate teaching strategies for the types of learners they have. It was also recommended that school administrators should allocate only teachers who are qualified and experienced in teaching the Mother Tongue.
