The Reflection of a Classical Playwright in the Mirror of Postmodernism
Authors: Iacobuţe Ramona-Petronela 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the search for a form of theatre that is as close as possible to the ideal became more intense and the active involvement of the public a habit. Likewise, postmodernism has become more and more present in the theatre shows. For the new generations of spectators, postmodernism in theatre is no longer an element of novelty and not even so difficult to digest, because when you grow into a certain historical period, you easily assimilate the features reflected in all aspects of life, cultural, social or political. A special generation from which the audience for the theatre under the postmodernist empire has been selected is generation Y, the generation of those born between 1980 and 1995. For this generation, Shakespeare, for example, can also be extremely cool, not only a classic. Among the performances that claim a modern Shakespeare, helped by video projections and modern music we can focus on the shows Hamlet, directed by Ada Lupu Hausvater at the National Theatre in Timişoara, and, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, directed by Radu Afrim, and also Hamletmachine, directed by Giorgos Zamboulakis.
Postmodern Valencies in Samuel Beckett’s Theatre. Waiting for Godot
Authors: Bandac Alexandra 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Postmodernism is still a landmark for theatre creators worldwide. Hard to define, it proposes, as Umberto Eco also acknowledged, a critical view of the past, filled with witt and irony, when referring to a disbalanced present, lacking value or perspective. It seems relevant, when talking about postmodernism, to yield Samuel Beckett’s writings, his prose and his theatre being stamps of change in the middle of the XXth century. We chose for analysis the play Waiting for Godot, which uncovers postmodern traits, and by discovering them, the text is better understood for the director or actor who is to stage the play or a character from it.
Theater Aesthetics from the First Signs to Postmodern Echoes
Authors: Florea Silvian 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In the second part of The Art of Theatre (the first presentation of the evolution of theatre aesthetics written by a Romanian author), George Banu highlights the dynamic essence of the performance, without excluding the existence of referential terms that structure its manifestations on the whole. The author calls them “means of communication that were imposed at the time”, means that start from a unitary significance given to the theatrical act. This significance is, according to George Banu, affiliated to a certain aesthetics, formulated with the help of historical determinations specific to theatre or emerged from each personality’s particularity.
About a Way Built Step by Step
Authors: Ciobotaru Anca Doina 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The programme of Luceafărul Theatre in Iaşi announces a new premiere – A Japanese Story, created by Irina Niculescu and John Lewandovski. Watercolour images and live music invite us to a world of metaphors. The story comes to life under the viewer’s eyes; the hero offers his breath, his heartbeat, and determines them to follow him in his initiation journey, to take joy and meditate on it.
I watch what happens on the stage with the eyes of my mind and soul; it’s only this way that I can come close to the meaning of the Emperor’s words: “May victory belong to those who fight without ego!”. It isn’t a mere line, but a sort of confession; Irina and John have searched for a source, they have fought without ego, and they are following their path. I take advantage of this meeting and raise a couple of questions; Irina Niculescu’s answers are the mirror of a way built step by step.
School as Workshop
Authors: Bălăiţă Vasilica 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The experience of the master class held by the actress Roberta Carreri (Odin Theatre) at the National University of Arts, Iaşi, has made me understand the necessity of the theatre laboratory born out of the need to leave aside all other concerns, including that of making “good” theatre. The workshop means letting yourself carried in silence as an active life principle, by other principles – of the stage movement – rediscovering the expressiveness of the body as form and sonority. It means forgetting everything you think you know about theatre and what has become an automatism; fighting with the everyday movement, abandoning it. The technical terms that designate the two types of action on the stage are “everyday movement” – where the brain acts in accordance with and by reason of automatisms, and “extra-everyday movement”, where the brain must make the effort to think in spite of the automatism. The extra-everyday movement elaboration comes from an excess/waste/potentiation of energy that is achieved by acting according to certain principles. These were carefully described in the theatre dictionary compiled by Eugenio Barba and the Italian theoretician Nicola Savareze, following half-century experiences through international confrontations of the Asian and European theatre/dance.
Hedda Gabler Show
Authors: Nechit Diana 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Intertextually, eclectically, stridently and parodically, without performing an extremely de-dramatizing process of Ibsen’s textual core, Botond Nagy’s show, Hedda Gabler (Radu Stanca National Theatre of Sibiu), is a nonconformist experience that proves the general tendency of the transcripts of the great masterpieces of universal dramaturgy, exploding the audience perception through a complex arsenal of musical and cinematic influences. Presented for the first time to the Sibiu audience on February 22, 2018, Hedda Gabler, directed by Botond Nagy, is, according to the director, a techno-poetical installation orchestrated by the conventions of an almost psychedelic incursion into human futuristic imagination, raises the reception standards the more so as the strategy applied by the young theatre director evokes a peculiar universe which is apparently incompatible with the fervent core of this drama.

Embedding resilience of urban areas to climate change: a case study of Rotterdam
Authors: Bilska Anna 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Climate change may have severe consequences for urban areas and many cities, such as those situated on deltas, are already threatened. The paper claims that the solution for endangered areas is the embedding of urban climate resilience. The concept of resilience is put forward to bring a broad perspective to a city with an indication that the city is a complex system with developed relations, both inward and outward. Social and institutional aspects of these relations are highlighted as they have the highest potential to make the city resilient. The paper indicates three fundamental features of embedding the resilience of urban areas to climate change: network building, a strategic approach and implementing urban projects. A practical application of these fundamental features is evaluated using the case study of Rotterdam. The research shows the reliability of these bases and indicates key characteristics of each fundamental feature: the network should be multidimensional with solid institutional and interpersonal relations, the strategy should have a holistic approach and project implementation needs the engagement of all the city actors.
Ore mineralization in the Miedzianka area (Karkonosze-Izera Massif, the Sudetes, Poland): new information
Authors: Mochnacka Ksenia , Oberc-Dziedzic Teresa , Mayer Wojciech , Pieczka Adam 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe Miedzianka mining district has been known for ages as a site of polymetallic ore deposits with copper and, later, uranium as the main commodities. Although recently uneconomic and hardly accessible, the Miedzianka ores attract Earth scientists due to the interesting and still controversial details of their ore structure, mineralogy and origin. Our examination of the ore mineralization from the Miedzianka district was based exclusively on samples collected from old mining dumps located in the vicinity of Miedzianka and Ciechanowice, and on samples from the only available outcrop in Przybkowice. In samples from the Miedzianka field, chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena, bornite, chalcocite, digenite, arsenopyrite, magnetite, sphalerite, tetrahedrite-tennantite, bornite, hematite, martite, pyrrhotite, ilmenite, cassiterite and covellite are hosted in quartz-mica schists and in coarse-grained quartz with chlorite. In the Ciechanowice field, the ore mineralization occurs mainly in strongly chloritized amphibolites occasionally intergrown with quartz and, rarely, with carbonates. Other host-rocks are quartz-chlorite schist and quartzites. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite-tennantite, bismuthinite, native Bi, arsenopyrite, löllingite, cassiterite, cobaltite, gersdorffite, chalcocite, cassiterite, bornite, covellite, marcasite and pyrrhotite. Moreover, mawsonite and wittichenite were identified for the first time in the district. In barite veins cross-cutting the greenstones and greenschists in Przybkowice, we found previously-known chalcopyrite, chalcocite and galena. The composition of the hydrothermal fluids is suggested to evolved through a series of consecutive systems characterized, in turn, by Ti-Fe-Sn, Fe- As-S, Fe-Co-As-S, Cu-Zn-S and, finally, Cu-Pb-Sb-As-Bi compositions.

Authors: Ligaj Bogdan , Szala Grzegorz 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT

In the paper [1] assumptions for fatigue life calculations in the low- and high- cycle fatigue ranges of metal
alloys, have been formulated. Three calculation methods: that expressed in stresses, strains and a mixed
(stress-strain) one, have been there presented. In this paper results of fatigue life calculations of C45 steel
performed in line with the above mentioned methods have been described, and their comparative analysis
has been made. The calculations have been carried out for two-level and multi-level load programs of the
varying parameters: maximum load within a load program and different values of spectrum filling factor.
The comparative analysis of the results of fatigue life calculations in compliance with the above mentioned
methods makes it possible to assess differences in the results and depenendence of the differences on values
of load program parameters.

Authors: Kiril Vassilev , Iva Apostolova , Hristo Pedashenko 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
A total of 546 releves collected in western Bulgaria and referred to Festuco-Brometea were classified into the alliances Festucion valesiacae, Saturejion montanae, Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati and Chrysopogono-Danthonion calycinae. All releves assigned to alliance Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati were further classified towards lower level which resulted in the description of a new association - Hieracio pilosellae-Festucetum dalmaticae and two new subassociations added to ass. Galio lovcense-Artemisietum chamaemelifoliae. Both associations were ecologically well differentiated on the basis of soil parameters (pH and humus content) as well as some additional factors (exposition, land use, etc.).
MicroRNAs in Breast Cancer — Our Initial Results

Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small [~21 nucleotide (nt)] non coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally. About 3.0% of human genes encode for miRNAs, and up to 30.0% of human protein coding genes may be regulated by miRNAs. Currently, more than 2000 unique human mature microRNAs are known. MicroRNAs play a key role in diverse biological processes including development, cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. These processes are commonly dysregulated in cancer, implicating miRNAs in carcinogenesis, where they act as tumor supressors or oncogenes. Several miRNAs are associated with breast cancer. Here we present our initial results of miRNA analyses of breast cancer tissues using quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (ReTi-PCR) (qPCR) involving stem-loop reverse transcriptase (RT) primers combined with TaqMan® PCR and miRNA microarray analysis

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The photoluminescence of SiO2-Al2O3-LiO2-LaF3 oxyfluoride glass and glass ceramic samples doped with Ce3+, Eu2+ and Ce3+/Eu2+ is investigated, and the spectra and fluorescence intensities are compared. The luminescence of samples activated by Eu ions is found to be more intensive than of the samples doped with Ce or Ce/Eu. The luminescence of glass ceramics is higher than that of the corresponding glass, which indicates that a proportion of the activator ions are embedded in the fluoride crystallites.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The main objective of the work was to analyze the operation of the large radio telescope RT-32 at the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre (VIRAC). The analysis has been performed in order to evaluate dimensional changes in the RT- 32 structural base due to reorientation of the antenna mirror. Three different orientations of the dish were considered, and the dimensional changes in the load carrying substructure were measured. The measurements were made to estimate possible effect of the geometrical changes of the antenna due to gravitational loads on the overall performance of the radio telescope with respect to the obtained astronomical results, their accuracy and validity. Comprehensive mapping and classification of the corrosive damage of steel elements in the antenna have been done. A preliminary numerical analysis by the finite element method was carried out to demonstrate the overall effect of the damaged steel beams on the geometrical distortion of the antenna surface.

Digital Base Band Converter As Radar Vlbi Backend / Dbbc Kā Ciparošanas Sistēma Radara Vlbi Novērojumiem
Authors: Tuccari G. , Bezrukovs Vl. , Nechaeva M. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
A digital base band converter (DBBC) system has been developed by the Istituto di Radioastronomia (Noto, Italy) for increasing the sensitivity of European VLBI Network (EVN) by expanding the full observed bandwidth using numerical methods. The output data rate of this VLBI-backend is raised from 1 to 4 Gbps for each radiotelescope. All operations related to the signal processing (frequency translation, amplification, frequency generation with local oscillators, etc.) are transferred to the digital domain, which allows - in addition to well-known advantages coming from digital technologies - achieving better repeatability, precision, simplicity, etc. The maximum input band of DBBC system is 3.5 GHz, and the instantaneous bandwidth is up to 1 GHz for each radio frequency/intermediate frequency (RF/IF) out of the eight possible. This backend is a highly powerful platform for other radioastronomy applications, and a number of additional so-called personalities have been developed and used. This includes PFB (polyphase filter bank) receivers and Spectra for high resolution spectroscopy. An additional new development with the same aim - to use the DBBC system as a multi-purpose backend - is related to the bi-static radar observations including Radar VLBI. In such observations it is possible to study the population of space debris, with detection of even centimetre class fragments. A powerful transmitter is used to illuminate the sky region to be analyzed, and the echoes coming from known or unknown objects are reflected to one or more groundbased telescopes thus producing a single-dish or interferometric detection. The DBBC Radar VLBI personality is able to realize a high-resolution spectrum analysis, maintaining in the central area the echo signal at the expected frequency including the Doppler shift of frequency. For extremely weak signals a very large integration time is needed, so for this personality different input parameters are provided. The realtime information can then allow exploring easily the desired range of search for unknown or not fully determined orbit objects. These features make Radar VLBI personality most useful in the space debris measurements.
Accuracy and Resolution Capacity of MRL-5(Is) Radar Ornithological Station and its Potential Development
Authors: Dinevich Leonid , Leshem Yossi 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Dinevich L., Leshem Y. 2012. Accuracy and resolution capacity of MRL-5(Is) radar ornithological station and its potential development. Ring 34: 3-21.
The paper presents the comprehensive assessment of the resolution capacity of MRL-5(Is) radar ornithological station developed in Israel. Theoretical calculations, as well as experimental testing and field experience enable the authors to evaluate the station’s performance and to suggest new directions of its potential development.
The computer-controlled system is able to select bird echoes and plot ornithological charts for distances up to 60 km. Under conditions of normal refraction at distances of 5-25 km, MRL-5(Is) is able to detect all the birds (undisguised by hills) at the horizon level. A bird as big as a stork flying 100 m higher than the radar location reflects an echo strong enough to be detected by the radar at the distance of 90 km. In the daytime, at the distance of up to 60 km from the radar, under conditions of the open horizon, the station detects 56-83% of migrating birds flying at the altitude of over 100 m above the radar location. At night, at the distance of up to 30 km from the radar, the station detects 74-89% of migrating birds flying at 150 m above the radar location. At the distances of 20 and 50 km, the resolution capacity of the station (i.e. detecting separated echoes of two or more birds flying at a distance from each other) are Δr = 200 m and Δr = 400 m, respectively; regarding the height and the tangential component; distance-wise, the capacity is 150 m regardless of the distance to the target.
Systematic observations of seasonal bird migration in the daytime and at night conducted during two autumn seasons and two spring seasons showed that the number of birds flying via Israel is significantly lower in spring than in autumn.
The EU Practice of Horizontal Agreement Assessment in Accordance with the Rule of Providing De Minimis Exemption
Authors: Puksas Andrius 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
This article analyses the practice of horizontal agreement assessment in accordance with its impact on competition. The following research is based on analysis of scientific literature, current provisions of European Union and national legal acts, as well as official positions of the European Commission (hereinafter - EC) and national authorities.
The current inconsistent practice of horizontal agreement assessment within the EU creates space for multiple interpretations. It is important to emphasize that the assessment rules provided in legal acts are, by their nature, only guidelines.
More flexibility, but also more obscurity, in the assessment process bring with it the possibility for institutions to independently set priorities (for instance ‘priority rule’ in Lithuanian legislation, i.e. in the Articles 18.2.3. and 24.2.8 of the Law on Competition of the Republic of Lithuania, Official Gazette, 2012, no. 42-2041).
The article analyses current regulation of horizontal agreement assessments in accordance with minor impact on competition.
Hostes Humani Generis: Cyberspace, the Sea, and Sovereign Control
Authors: Kalpokienė Julija , Kalpokas Ignas 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
Cyberspace is a new global space that is yet not fully explored nor effectively regulated. The authors are not sketching a regulatory framework for cyberspace, but instead are inclined to glean valuable experience from the developments in the regulation of other global spaces, especially the sea. First, the peculiarities of cyberspace and cybercrime are briefly outlined. Then, the other global spaces are analysed drawing comparisons between exploration, appropriation and regulations of the sea and the air and cyberspace. The authors suggest that it is vital to learn lessons from the past in order to achieve an effective model of regulation of cyberspace. One of the main focus points of the paper is the position of a pirate and the ways of regulating piracy in different global spaces.
Effective Governance to Develop Creative Quarters: Three Case Studies from Germany
Authors: Lauderbach Martina 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
As the positive economic and social impacts of the creative economy on regions are evident, many regions and local policy makers aim to attract creative industries and creative people by offering adequate spaces and framework conditions (Musterd & Murie 2010). Beside other efforts, creative quarters are initiated artificially by top-down governance. Based on the assumption that creatives (bohemians, core of the creative class) need a certain amount of autonomy and do not want to be instrumentalised, initiating creative quarters top-down seems to be difficult. This paper analyses different ways of governance to develop creative quarters in the range of top-down, bottom-up and co-governance. By reference to three quarters (located in the Ruhr area, Germany) which have been developed by different ways of governance, the research derives ideal governance structures and processes to develop creative quarters considering practical opportunities and limitations.
