Validating the impact of various ionosphere correction on mid to long baselines and point positioning using GPS dual-frequency receivers
Authors: Elghazouly Alaa A. , Doma Mohamed I. , Sedeek Ahmed A. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Due to the ionosphere delay, which has become the dominant GPS error source, it is crucial to remove the ionospheric effect before estimating point coordinates. Therefore, different agencies started to generate daily Global Ionosphere Maps (GIMs); the Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) values represented in GIMs produced by several providers can be used to remove the ionosphere error from observations.
In this research, an analysis will be carried with three sources for VTEC maps produced by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), Regional TEC Mapping (RTM), and the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). The evaluation is focused on the effects of a specific ionosphere GIM correction on the precise point positioning (PPP) solutions. Two networks were considered. The first network consists of seven Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers from (IGS) global stations. The selected test days are six days, three of them quiet, and three other days are stormy to check the influence of geomagnetic storms on relative kinematic positioning solutions. The second network is a regional network in Egypt.
The results show that the calculated coordinates using the three VTEC map sources are far from each other on stormy days rather than on quiet days. Also, the standard deviation values are large on stormy days compared to those on quiet days. Using CODE and RTM IONEX file produces the most precise coordinates after that the values of IRI. The elimination of ionospheric biases over the estimated lengths of many baselines up to 1000 km has resulted in positive findings, which show the feasibility of the suggested assessment procedure.

This paper scrutinizes and chronologically reconstructs Hans Vaihinger’s impact on contemporary Kant research. It provides an account of his engagement at both the exegetical and the institutional level. More broadly, it allows us to appreciate – for the first time, and in a comprehensive way – Vaihinger’s significance to the assessment of Kant’s legacy.
Kant and the Production of the Antinomy of Pure Reason
Authors: Herszenbaun Miguel Alejandro 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this article, I claim that the Antinomy of pure reason emerges as the result of synthetic activities that require succession. In this regard, I show that cosmological conflicts involve different kinds of representations: (1) cosmological ideas, purely conceptual representations of the unconditioned and the product of non-temporal synthetic activities; and (2) putative complete series of spatiotemporal conditions, which require temporal synthetic activities. As I show, purely conceptual representations cannot produce cosmological conflicts: The Antinomy requires the interaction of reason, understanding, and sensibility. I also discuss the maxim and principle of pure reason, how they lead to the unconditioned (and its different notions), and how the cosmological syllogism produces the Antinomy.
Das Verhältnis von Subjektivität und Zeit bei Kant und Schopenhauer
Authors: Gebrecht Raphael 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper focuses on Kant’s and Schopenhauer’s models of self-consciousness and their specific relation to time. It aims to show that genuine philosophical theories can explain the idiosyncratic relation between ourselves and the world without relying on pure metaphysical speculations or strictly empirical and phenomenally oriented conceptions, as many contemporary proponents of analytic philosophy entail. The first groundbreaking doctrine in this regard is Kant’s transcendental theory of apperception, which unfolds a new theoretical dimension of thinking, grounding the logical unity of thought in the pure, originally synthetic unity of the subject itself. In order to constitute a structural order within the appearing phenomenal world, Kant conceptualizes a theory of self-affection in the second edition of the Critique of pure reason, positing a dynamic relation between the spontaneously acting intellect and the purely receptive inner sense of time as a result of productive transcendental imagination. The problematic relation between self-reliance and empirical consciousness that Kant did not resolve completely led to various subsequent transformations of Kant’s transcendental principles, one of which boasts Schopenhauer as a prominent but rarely considered representative.
Schopenhauer’s systematic approach consists in a modified version of Kant’s transcendental idealism, which ties the Kantian subject of logical and transcendental unity to an intuitive corporeal individual that can only conceptualize itself as an original, willing subject. The Schopenhauerian subject unfolds its empirical character in accordance with its own inner impulses and motivations, which manifest themselves in time but can only be interpreted as a phenomenal representation of a higher, metaphysical unity, which Schopenhauer calls the will as a thing in itself. Schopenhauer reaches his final metaphysical conclusion via a problematic analogy, positing another perspective on the corporeal nature of the individual which, by means of abstraction, can be extended to the whole phenomenal world. Therefore, Schopenhauer interprets the underlying (intelligible) character of the subject and the phenomenal world as a whole as a timeless, omnipresent will to live which can be temporally experienced within the nature of our own subjectivity.
Engaging students in multimodal literacy practices in a university ESP context: towards understanding identity and ideology in government debates
Authors: Incelli Ersilia Amedea 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper focuses on issues of multimodal literacy practices in ESP higher education settings. In particular, the research explores how students become engaged in various literacy activities aimed at enhancing their critical-thinking skills and interpretation of images. For this purpose, two datasets consisting of video clips were extracted from a larger multimodal corpus and developed for teaching applications: one involved a UK live parliament debate and the other a US House of Representatives debate. The main objective is to identify the key verbal strategies reflecting persuasive, argumentative rhetoric and the non-verbal features accompanying these verbal utterances such as prosodic stress, body/head movements, gaze, gesture. Thus, the focus of the analysis is on how different semiotic modes of communication construct meaning, especially in terms of how they reinforce the construction of identity and ideological stance. The results were systematically categorized and applied on a practical level to a teaching unit on ‘identity and ideology’.

The origins of the term “phraseology”1
Authors: Autelli Erica 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Most researchers associate the beginnings of phraseological studies with Charles Bally (1909) and Soviet studies, especially with V. V. Vinogradov (e.g. 1944; 2001 [1947]), and with English and German studies (e.g. Burger 1973; Rothkegel 1973). However, this article will show that phraseology actually has a centuries-long tradition, at least as far as some languages, including Italian, are concerned.
For example, for the Spanish historical phraseological tradition it is worth mentioning Montoro del Arco (2012) and Olímpio de Oliveira Silva (2020). As the Spanish tradition has already been much studied, it will not be further investigated in this paper, although some Spanish “historical phraseologiae” have also been found (such as in the Italian-Spanish works by Franciosini 1620 and the plurilingual work by Pielat 1673).
First, I will briefly show what “phraseology” means according to a modern conception, and what it meant originally. The development of the term is traced using some old rediscovered “phraseologiae”, which also have relevance to phraseography and phraseodidactics.
Morphemic and Syntactic Phrasemes
Authors: Mel’čuk Igor 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
A morphemic phraseme is a phraseme (= a constrained combination of linguistic signs) composed of morphemes that are part of the same wordform. Like a lexemic phraseme, a morphemic phraseme has a segmental signifier. All logically possible types of morphemic phrasemes are presented and illustrated: morphemic idioms, collocations, nominemes and clichés. Formally, these can be phraseologized complex stems, phraseologized complex affixes and phraseologized wordforms.
A syntactic phraseme is a phraseme that includes at least two minimal syntactic subtrees and whose signifier is non-segmental (it involves prosody or an operation). All syntactic phrasemes are idioms. A syntactic idiom must be distinguished from 1) phrases described by means of semantically loaded surface-syntactic relations; 2) phrases consisting of a lexical unit taken together with its actants; 3) lexemic phrasemes consisting of “light-weight” words, such as Rus. ˹nu i˺ [X]! lit. ‘Well and [X]’ = ‘What an amazing X!’, and 4) lexemic phrasemes with syntactic pecularities. The notion of fictitious lexeme, necessary for designating some syntactic idioms (those that are expressed only by prosody), is introduced. An illustrative list of 29 Russian syntactic idioms is presented, as well as the lexical entries for several Russian syntactic idioms.
“Shall I (compare) compare thee?”
Authors: Buljan Gabrijela , Maras Lea 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper presents the results of a corpus-based analysis of a special type of modification of the English (as) Adj as NP similes. The modification involves filling the property slot with a cognate noun-adjective compound, i.e., a compound adjective consisting of the original adjective and the noun representing the original source of comparison, and inserting a new source of comparison into the construction (red as blood vs blood-red as a raw steak). Our data come from three sources: the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), the iWeb Corpus, and material published on the Google website. Using quantitative methods we first explored whether there is a relationship between various distributional and formal features of the “original” as-similes and their likelihood of exhibiting this type of modification behavior. We then performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the semantic and, to a lesser extent, discourse-related features of authentic examples of this type of modification. Our results indicate that while these modifications are not abundant, the as-similes that have been found to modify in this way are significantly different from the as-similes that have been found not to modify in this way, on a number of formal and distributional features. The analysis of the semantic and discourse-related features of the modifications themselves revealed (i) the typical semantic domains of the three nominal entities featured in the modified simile: the original source, the new source, and the target, including the semantic fit among the domains of those entities; (ii) the typical semantic domains of the properties for which the three nominal entities are compared, including the semantic fit among the domains of those properties; and (iii) the typical text varieties accommodating these modifications. The latter results confirm, and to some extent elaborate on, some earlier findings about the semantic and discourse-related profiles of similes at large.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). It was declared on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization as a pandemic disease. Regrettably, the spread of the virus and mortality due to COVID-19 have continued to increase daily. The study is performed using the Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo operator with a harmonic mean type incidence rate. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the fractional COVID-19 epidemic model have been developed using the fixed point theory approach. Along with stability analysis, all the basic properties of the given model are studied. To highlight the most sensitive parameter corresponding to the basic reproductive number, sensitivity analysis is taken into account. Simulations are conducted using the first-order convergent numerical approach to determine how parameter changes influence the system’s dynamic behavior.
Experimental study on the influence of mixing time on concrete performance under different mixing modes
Authors: Zhao Wu , Yang Jing , Zhao Wenjun , Yang Chi 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
To study the influence of different mixing times on the performance of concrete under vibration mixing and conventional mixing, C40 and C60 are selected in this paper to verify the influence of mixing time of 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 s on the compressive strength and durability of concrete comparing vibration mixing and common forced mixing. The results show that the early strength of concrete is more significantly improved in 3 and 7 day; the strength with vibration mixing for mixing 105 s in each age is higher than that of conventional mixing at 120 s; under the condition of guaranteed strength, the mixing time of at least 15 s can be reduced. The strength of C40 concrete with vibration mixing has a peak value with the corresponding mixing time of 105 s, and the rapid growth stage of compressive strength is 15 s earlier than that of conventional mixing. For all mixing time, the electric flux of vibrated concrete is significantly smaller than that of forced concrete, and the change rate is generally above 10%; compared with conventional mixing for 120 s, the durability of C40 and C60 concrete increases by 11.8 and 11.1%, respectively, at the time of vibration mixing for 105 s. It was found that under the same mixing time, the compressive strength of concrete with vibration mixing method is higher than that of conventional mixing. In a certain range, the durability of concrete can be improved by prolonging the mixing time.
A continuum damage model for fatigue life prediction of 2.5D woven composites
Authors: Wang Nan , Wen Weidong , Cui Haitao 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
A new model based on continuum damage mechanics is proposed to predict the fatigue life of 2.5D woven composites. First, a full-cell model reflecting the real microstructure of 2.5D woven composites is established in ANSYS. Subsequently, three independent damage variables are defined in the framework of the composite micromechanics to establish the component constitutive relations associated with damage. The strain energy density release rate and damage evolution equations for the matrix, fiber in yarns, and matrix in yarns are derived. Finally, the proposed model is implemented for fatigue life prediction and damage evolution analysis of 2.5D woven composites at 20 and 180°C. The results show that the numerical results are in good agreement with the relevant experimental results.
Challenging Valuations: How Rankings Navigate Contestation
Authors: Ringel Leopold 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Accounts of why rankings are pervasive features of the modern world focus mostly on their properties as valuation devices that, upon entering the public sphere, exert pressure on the ranked. In doing so, however, research tends to overlook the important role played by the different types of organizations that produce rankings. To remedy this, the article draws from a qualitative study consisting of semi-structured interviews with members of these organizations to show that they put a great deal of effort into addressing and responding to different kinds of criticism. Working towards building and maintaining the credibility of rankings is thus revealed to require constant attention by their producers, who devise multiple procedures and rhetorical strategies to this end.
Research note: The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on scientific work in German sociology
Authors: Sawert Tim , Keil Maria 
Published: November 2021

AbstractSince the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific work is highly affected by the governments’ measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus. With closing colleges, universities, and kindergartens, scientists had to adapt to new forms of working procedures. Immediately after the peak of the first COVID-19 wave in Germany, we surveyed in professors and postdoctoral researchers in the field of German sociology in May 2020 to investigate how their work is constrained by these measures. In this research note, we present the results of this survey. They show that the position in the sociological field as well as demographic factors affect the degree to which sociologists feel constrained in their work. Postdoctoral sociologists feel more restricted in their work than professors, and qualitatively working sociologists more restricted than quantitatively working sociologists. Moreover, being a woman and having children under the age of 14 years increases the probability that sociologists expect to research less. Our empirical results shed some light on the effect of COVID-19 measures on working routines and inequality in Higher Education during the pandemic.

On Evidence Preclusion in Tax and Control Procedures: a Comparative Legal Approach
Authors: Etel Leonard , Strzelec Dariusz 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In the framework of tax collection procedures in different legal orders, various mechanisms may be introduced aiming at the implementation of the economy and the promptness of proceedings, which are aimed at observing the rule of evidence material concentration. One of the ways of securing it is the institution of so-called evidence preclusion, which constitutes a certain limitation on the possibility of referring to new evidence due to the stage of particular proceedings. The objective of the paper is to establish whether the institution of evidence preclusion in the tax procedure is necessary. One should search for the clues to answer the question presented through comparative legal studies. Implementing such a complex aim of research, we analysed legal regulations connected with the concentration of evidence material in selected states. So far, this question has not been a subject of a separate analysis. The results of the studies demonstrated that in the legal orders under analysis there are solutions, the aim of which is, to prevent lengthy proceedings and seeking that the resolution occur in the shortest possible time; if possible, without any harm for the actual and legal clarifying the matter. Evidence preclusion cannot be used by tax authorities as an instrument limiting the taxpayer’s right to a fair tax process.
Current Problems of Financial Law in Poland and in the Czech Republic Including Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Tyniewicki Marcin , Kozieł Michal 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
It should be clearly stated that current pandemic of the COVID-19 virus has significantly impacted the public finances of many countries and considerably influenced the functioning of world’s economy. Allocation of public resources to prevent, or counteract, negative effects of the pandemic has taken various forms. Regardless of the extraordinariness of this situation, the possibility to use aid instruments depends on legislative changes and, thus, on the prior passing of appropriate legal provisions, since they determine the rules based on which these instruments are implemented. Poland, and the Czech Republic, have taken proper actions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Referring to the experience of both of these countries, it should be noted that legal and financial solutions used to counteract the pandemic have not always been conducted in accordance with constitutional norms, established financial law rules, or principles of conducting financial economy in the public finance sector. The Authors of this article, while evaluating these solutions, have decided to indicate certain general trends happening in the current financial law, which, unfortunately, are not always positive.
Rethinking the Indirect Taxation of Trust in the Reform of the Italian Tax System
Authors: Parente Salvatore Antonello 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In Italy, among the priorities of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), a strategic position is taken by the tax reform, which is part of the actions to remedy the structural weaknesses of the country’s system and to stimulate economic recovery aft er the Covid-19 crisis. In this context, in order to design a new tax structure, in terms of economic growth and competitiveness, a legislative rethink of indirect taxation of trusts and other destination constraints is desirable. In fact, the current tax rules of these negotiation models, in addition to giving rise to numerous disputes, oft en discourage their use in regulating new interests and needs.
