Robustness of Support Vector Machines in Algorithmic Trading on Cryptocurrency Market
Authors: Ślepaczuk Robert , Zenkova Maryna 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This study investigates the profitability of an algorithmic trading strategy based on training SVM model to identify cryptocurrencies with high or low predicted returns. A tail set is defined to be a group of coins whose volatility-adjusted returns are in the highest or the lowest quintile. Each cryptocurrency is represented by a set of six technical features. SVM is trained on historical tail sets and tested on the current data. The classifier is chosen to be a nonlinear support vector machine. The portfolio is formed by ranking coins using the SVM output. The highest ranked coins are used for long positions to be included in the portfolio for one reallocation period. The following metrics were used to estimate the portfolio profitability: %ARC (the annualized rate of change), %ASD (the annualized standard deviation of daily returns), MDD (the maximum drawdown coefficient), IR1, IR2 (the information ratio coefficients). The performance of the SVM portfolio is compared to the performance of the four benchmark strategies based on the values of the information ratio coefficient IR1, which quantifies the risk-weighted gain. The question of how sensitive the portfolio performance is to the parameters set in the SVM model is also addressed in this study.
The Issue of a Transport Mode Choice from the Perspective of Enterprise Logistics
Authors: Gnap Jozef , Poliak Milos , Semanova Stefania 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The paper includes the research outputs in the area of examining the total costs of delivering products to the customer for a particular transport mode choice. The methodology of choice procedure is presented based on the calculation of threshold distance for different variants of shipments in road and rail transport based on delivery costs. The paper also assesses the possibility of compiling a multi-criteria function for enterprise logistics, that beside the costs takes into account also other aspects as rail transport availability, time for loading and unloading, shipping time or environmental impacts.
Can phonotactic constraints inhibit segmental change? Arguments from lenition and syncope
Authors: Honeybone Patrick 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThis article considers the interaction of phonotactics and diachrony. I argue two things: (i) language-specific phonotactic constraints on phonological forms can inhibit otherwise regular innovations, and (ii) the fact that such phonotactically-motivated process inhibition occurs in historical phonology is itself evidence for the reality of phonotactic constraints. I assume that there is a difference between those gaps in a language’s lexicon which are due to chance (‘A-gaps’) and those which are ruled out by the grammar (‘S-gaps’) and I consider some evidence in favour of this view. I consider two case studies where an understanding of phonotactics is necessary to analyse the patterning of change: Mid-Scots θ-debuccalisation and a late Middle English syncope. I ground the discussion in arguments about what phonotactic constraints are, and how they can be involved in diachrony. This involves a consideration of a number of examples from English, including onset-OCP-related constraints, the OCP (sibilance) constraint, and the constraint which imposes the defective distribution of [h].
Sibilant-stop onsets in Romance: Explaining phonotactic complexity
Authors: Pustka Elissa 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Focusing on sibilant-stop onsets, this paper deals with syllabic complexity in Romance languages. At its core are two empirical studies that address the complex case of French: a type-level study is based on the Petit Robert, and a token-level study uses Parisian and Southern French corpus data elaborated in the framework of the PFC program (Phonologie du Français Contemporain). The paper identifies three factors behind the emergence of phonotactic complexity: (a) vowel elision, (b) borrowing, and (c) expressivity.
Research on cooperation strategy between government and green supply chain based on differential game
Authors: Zeng Jingwei , Li Baizhou 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Based on the “three bottom line” and stakeholder theory, the paper considers the relationship and cooperation strategy between the government and the supplier and manufacturer of the green supply chain. By constructing the dynamic differential game model, the paper discusses the differences in the optimal effort level, green degree of product, reputation and the optimal benefit under the three situations of noncooperation, government promotion and collaborative cooperation. The results show that the optimal effort level, green degree of product, reputation and the optimal benefit in collaborative cooperation are obviously higher than the situations of non-cooperation and government promotion, and the cooperation of the three parties can promote the development of green supply chain. Government promotion is better than noncooperation. The government plays an active role in improving the optimal benefit and reputation of green supply chain. Finally, the reliability of the proposed proposition is verified by an example analysis, which provides an important reference for improving the efficiency of green supply chain.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
This article addresses a question central for this special issue of Multilingua on audiovisual translation (AVT) – of the relationship between the cross-cultural and the intercultural in audiovisual translation. The question underpins fundamental debates in the emergent field of AVT as cross/intercultural mediation, the focus in this volume, with subtitling and dubbing the two main interlingual modes considered in its pages from an interdisciplinary perspective embracing translation and audiovisual translation studies, pragmatics and cross-cultural pragmatics and film studies. The article doubles up as the introduction for the special issue, and provides its rationale and contents.
Transitivity, Events, and Gesture: The Case of the Causative-inchoative Alternation
Authors: Wu Suwei , Cienki Alan 
Published: August 2019

AbstractAn increasing number of studies are being devoted to the investigation of what aspects of grammar, and of events, expressed in speech are coordinated with gesture. However, previous studies have focused on gesture use in relation to either transitivity or event properties, without considering how these factors interact. In this study, we consider how gesture use relates to transitivity when the type of event in the causativeinchoative alternation is considered, and also how gesture use relates to properties of the events when the type of transitivity is considered. We found various relations both between gesture use and transitivity on the one hand, and between gesture use and certain properties of events on the other hand. Whereas some of the results contrast with the findings in previous studies about the relation between gesture and transitivity, other results obtained actually reinforce and complement some previous findings. The results concerning event properties and gesture also add to previous studies about which properties of certain motor-spatial events relate to gesture and how they do so. The study thus provides a more nuanced understanding of the relation between gesture and language.
Tel1/ATM Signaling to the Checkpoint Contributes to Replicative Senescence in the Absence of Telomerase

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Mecl/ATR and Tell/ATM trigger replicative senescence when telomeres become critically short in the absence of telomerase, but how Tell/ATM promotes senescence is still unclear. Menin et al. studied the functions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tel1 in senescence by using...
Telomeres progressively shorten at every round of DNA replication in the absence of telomerase. When they become critically short, telomeres trigger replicative senescence by activating a DNA damage response that is governed by the Mec1/ATR and Tel1/ATM protein kinases. While Mec1/ATR is known to block cell division when extended single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulates at eroded telomeres, the molecular mechanism by which Tel1/ATM promotes senescence is still unclear. By characterizing a Tel1–hy184 mutant variant that compensates for the lack of Mec1 functions, we provide evidence that Tel1 promotes senescence by signaling to a Rad9-dependent checkpoint. Tel1–hy184 anticipates senescence onset in telomerase-negative cells, while the lack of Tel1 or the expression of a kinase-defective (kd) Tel1 variant delays it. Both Tel1–hy184 and Tel1–kd do not alter ssDNA generation at telomeric DNA ends. Furthermore, Rad9 and (only partially) Mec1 are responsible for the precocious senescence promoted by Tel1–hy184. This precocious senescence is mainly caused by the F1751I, D1985N, and E2133K amino acid substitutions, which are located in the FRAP–ATM–TRAPP domain of Tel1 and also increase Tel1 binding to DNA ends. Altogether, these results indicate that Tel1 induces replicative senescence by directly signaling dysfunctional telomeres to the checkpoint machinery.
The Communist Revolt in Tallinn on the 1st of December 1924 and its Diplomatic Cover-Up
Authors: Butkus Zenonas 
Published: August 2019

This article, based on the archives stored in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia and some recently published documents, investigates the coup attempted by the Soviets on December 1, 1924 in Tallinn and evaluates its consequences within the broad context of international relations. During the research, it was established that an attempt to stage a coup in Estonia had been undertaken both by the Estonian communists and the USSR leadership, which had the highest political body – the Politburo – and the Comintern, a self-crafted tool set up for spreading the communist movement around the world, at its disposal. Thus, the revolution was masterminded by the Soviet authorities, whereas the Estonian communists were mainly responsible for its implementation. The task of the coup leadership was to seize power and hold on to it for some time, long enough to request that the USSR “renders support.” Preparations were underway for such support. This is evidenced by military preparations in the northern regions of the USSR and the territory near the Estonian border as well as by the deployment of Soviet ships in the vicinity of Tallinn and the activities of the Soviet embassy located in the capital. The attempted coup turned into a putsch due to the maximum conspiracy of their organizers. The conspiracy was brought about by the then-public awareness that the revolutionary events in Germany in 1923 had been instigated by the Soviets. The attempted coup in Estonia failed due to the extraordinary defensive operations put up by the Estonian authorities and power structures as well as due to the failure to involve the workers and the other strata of society in the coup.
Latvia, Estonia’s only ally, was the first country to stand by Estonia’s side after the country withstood the attempted coup. The lessons were learnt not only by these two countries but by Lithuania as well. They began taking adequate measures to stifle communist activities. Neither France nor England or any other Western state made plans to deploy their fleets to the Baltic Sea to support the Estonians or at least show, in a demonstrative way, their support in such a trying time. They also failed to hold any diplomatic démarches against the Soviets opposing the export of revolution practiced by the Soviets. Due to diplomatic pressure imposed by the USSR, Estonia could not publicly and officially name the actual organizers of the putsch. As a result, only the local communists were indiscriminately accused. Such forced tactics, if only indirectly, had at least partially been influencing the area of historical research as well.
However, the sudden and unequivocal liquidation of the putsch in Tallinn could have prompted the USSR to no longer expand its revolutionary export to the West, and the “abstinence” of such kind had lasted until the Second World War. The war itself and the previous collusion with Adolf Hitler made it possible for Stalin to cherish even greater ambitions to renew the spread of communism in other countries.

Книга известного польского ученого-русиста интригует уже своим названием: это название отсылает к «Большому стилю» Сталина в изобразительных искусствах, призванному подчеркнуть, что мощная власть пришла всерьез и на­долго, к культуре, именуемой после появления книги Паперного «Культура-2». «Культура-2» – это сталинские небоскре­бы, ВДНХ, кантата Исаковского о вожде, тяжеловесный канцелярит номенклатур­ного языка и другие подобные им явле­ния» (Г. Хазагеров). Сам автор книги о языковом монументализме так объясняет ее название: «Заглавный термин монумен­тализм использован нами как метафора, чтобы подчеркнуть громоздкость языка коммунистической системы. Выражение языковой монументализм отражает соц­реалистическую гигантоманию в языке и предельную идеологизацию языковых структур»
Tatyana Larina’s Letter from Onegin’s Perspective
Authors: Greenbaum Oleg 
Published: August 2019

This paper considers some issues of the rhythmical semantic analysis of the text of the letter written by Tatyana Larina, presented in the third chapter of A. S. Pushkin’s novel Eugene Onegin. Previous work in this area has been devoted to studying the structural and compositional peculiarities of the text, as well as to rhythmical and expressive aspects of the reader’s perception of Tatyana’s letter. The present study continues the selected method of analysis in a way related to the specific nature of this letter: the fragment of the novel is viewed as a separate text “inserted” into the whole, which can and should be read separately from the general course of the poetic narrative. The chosen approach allows us to examine the process of perception of Tatyana’s letter by the addressee, Onegin, and, at the same time, makes it possible to clarify Pushkin’s reasons for hiding the text of the letter from readers for so long, as though looking for the best time and place to present it. The study shows that the method of reading Tatyana’s letter as “separate” reveals that at the centre of the emotionally expressive perception of this text is the word “hope.” This fact helps to yield new evidence pointing to the reasons for Onegin’s ruthless and seemingly inadequate response to Larina’s letter.
Olga Tokarczuk’s Game with the Rules of Criminal Novels: The Case of “Plough Through the Bones of the Dead”
Authors: Wzorek Anna 
Published: August 2019

This article presents the game Olga Tokarczuk plays with criminal narration as based on her novel, Plough Through the Bones of the Dead (2009). The main problem is that this famous writer, recipient of numerous prestigious awards, here disregards a series of “iron” rules that have guided detective novels for ages to write a pastiche of a criminal novel. The analysis reveals that Tokarczuk retreats from common frameworks of criminal novels, only making a delicate reference to the problem of an “island.” The writer also discards the rule that a murder has to be the starting point for the criminal plot. She not only delays the moment of introduction of the criminal motive, but also, contrary to the abovementioned “iron” rules, avoids presenting the prerequisites necessary to unmask the criminal. She is far more interested in the daily life of the protagonist/narrator than in the circumstances surrounding the four murders. In the world created by Tokarczuk, there is no detective who conducts an investigation. At the end of this quasi-criminal novel, the very perpetrator discloses the secret of the mysterious deaths. Tokarczuk’s rather free attitude toward the rules of the criminal novel is also manifested in her choice to leave the murderer unpunished. Moreover, the author introduces an improbable method of crime. In Plough Through the Bones of the Dead—a title which also provides proof that this is a pastiche of a criminal novel—one will not find any references to classical criminal novels, but quotations from William Blake’s mystic poetry.
The Roles of Vision, Space, and the Body in Interpreting Unfamiliar Serbian and English Idiomatic Expressions
Authors: Stamenković Dušan , Bennett Austin , Antović Mihailo 
Published: August 2019

The present paper investigates whether lexicalized visuo-spatial configurations and/or an explicit reference to a human body part can facilitate the interpretation of unknown idioms by comparing the levels of correct interpretation of unknown English and Serbian idiomatic expressions. Two groups of respondents, American and Serbian engineering students, had the task to interpret literally translated idiomatic expressions from a target language they were not familiar with (Serbian or English). The idioms were divided into three groups: (1) visuo-spatial bodily idioms, (2) bodily idioms only, and (3) non-bodily idioms. The goal was to test whether references to visuo-spatial information and/or parts of the body would help respondents interpret the expressions correctly. Our results, compiled from both groups of respondents, suggest that there are significant differences for the three scores, with the combined visuo-spatial and bodily components taking the lead, the bodily component only coming second, and the non-bodily idioms falling strikingly far behind. This could provide support to the well-known assumptions of cognitive linguistics that visuo-spatial configurations and embodiment play a major role in the construction of abstract concepts.
The Method of Artistic Mystification in Ransmayr’s Novel “The Last World”
Authors: Kovtun Natalia 
Published: August 2019

The article proposes a new interpretation of the iconic novel by Austrian writer Christoph Ransmayr,The Last World (Die letzte Welt, 1988), recognized as the best European prose text of the late 1980s. The quest is the basis of the plot of the novel, the interpretation of Ovid’s mystified and mythologized poem, “Metamorphoses.” Various readings of the famous text can be interpreted as methods of externalization, verification of the author’s self-image, or attempts to approximate the truth of the primary meaning revealed in Genesis. The chosen foreshortening of the study reveals the forms of the author’s self-reflections through image-masks (hero—narrator—“com­mentator”—reader), a narrative story (facts of artistic reality—events of the story—the reading process—“commenting”), mystification of texts (works of world literature—character/narrator books—reader/“interpreter” texts), and a system of commentaries on them. Hero/storytellers, offer­ing different interpretations of the missing poem, implement their own understanding of reality, one that requires further discussion and examination. The process of cognition is the essence of reading; interpretations of prior texts and the creation of new ones disprove the main thesis of postmodernism about the reticence and hermeticity of works of literature. In this novel, Ovid reveals the mystery of elusive time, heaven, and hell. The process of empathy, the narrator’s and reader/listener’s co-creation, bring a closer understanding of the metaphysical foundations of being.
Corderos semiconfinados, alimentados con harina de Gliricidia sepium, subproductos de maíz y heno (Cynodon nlemfuensis), pastoreando restringidamente Urochloa brizantha y su efecto sobre consumo y ganancia de peso
Authors: Nouel-Borges Gustavo , García-Mosquera Ana 
Published: August 2019

Se evaluó la alimentación de corderos manejados en confinamiento parcial, que pastorearon ocho horas diarias en potreros de Urochloa brizantha y recibieron, en confinamiento, heno de Cynodon nlemfuensis como forraje en un arreglo factorial 2x2. Se ofrecieron diariamente dos niveles de harina de Gliricidia sepium (G1:0,283 y G2:0,566% del Peso Vivo (PV) en base a materia seca (MS)) y dos niveles de harina gruesa de subproductos de maíz (HGSM1:0,283 y HGSM 2:0,566% del PV en MS), con 2 repeticiones por tratamiento y cada una con cinco corderos (PV inicial 18,53 ± 0,63 kg, West African x Dorset) para cada repetición, con un total de 8 unidades experimentales, analizados completamente al azar, para un total 40 animales. Se contó también con un grupo testigo que no recibió suplementación de G o HGSM, para determinar su efecto sobre el consumo de alimentos en confinamiento, la ganancia de peso individual y por grupo y la conversión de alimento en peso vivo. Se encontraron diferencias entre niveles de HGSM para la variable ganancia de peso total (GPT) con 9,75 y 11,52 kg/animal en HGSM1 y HGSM2, respectivamente (p=0,0257). Para los niveles de G, hubo diferencias para las variables: GPT con 9,77 y 11,50 kg/animal (p=0,0290), costo de kg PV producido de 3,93 y 2,93 USD/kg (p<0,0001), conversión de alimento en carne de 11,39 y 8,89 kg alimento/kg PV producido (p=0,0024), ganancia de peso por grupo (repetición) de 33,50 y 43,75 kg/5 corderos en 84 días (p=0,0023), para G1 y G2, respectivamente en cada variable. Los resultados indican que los mayores niveles de oferta de G y HGSM mejoraron la ganancia de peso total, pero logrando los mejores resultados en conversión y costos de las prácticas por kg de PV ganado con hojas de Gliricidia sepium y HGSM al 0,283% cada una (T1) y al 0,566% de Gliricidia sepium y 0,283% HGSM (T3).

إن جمع القران فى عهد خلافة عثمان بن عفان رض قد دار دودا هاما فى تاريخ القرأن. لان في هذا العصر قد دون القرأن بعد جمعه في عهد أبى بكر رض وحفظه في عهد عمربن الخطا ب رض. وكان الدوافع الى التدوين هي المشاكل المنتشرة في مجمتع الاسلام التى تدور حول اختلاف القرءات بينهم حتى ان بعضهم يدعون ان ماعندهم من القراءة احسن من غيرهم وكذا عكسهم. وقد بلغ هذا الإختلاف الى درجة تكفير بعضهم إلى بعض. وقد تعجب بهذه المسألة و خاف منها زعماء الأسلام حتى قرر عثمان لتدوين القرأن ليكون إماما لأمة. ومن الروايات المنقولة في هذا تدل على ان عمل الذى قام به عثمان ليس لأجل نفسه أو تعصبه ولكن لأجل وحدة الأمة من ناحية ولأجل حفظ القرآن من ناحية أخرى.
