Is Locke’s Account of Personal Identity Really Subjectivist?
Authors: Lenz Martin 
Published: September 2016

Abstract:The aim of this paper is to challenge the notion of subjectivism involved in Udo Thiel’s and in other reconstructions of Locke’s account of personal identity. Although subjectivism is often taken to be the hallmark of Locke’s position, it is not entirely clear how we should understand this characterization. Thus, I will first address some general worries about this label. In a second step, I will discuss possible ways of construing Locke’s account as subjectivist and show how they rely on objective and intersubjective features. I shall conclude with a plea to drop this label with regard to Locke altogether.
Bundles, Selves, and Sceptical Realism in Udo Thiel’s The Early Modern Subject
Authors: Wunderlich Falk 
Published: September 2016

Abstract:This paper deals with how to understand David Hume’s theory of personal identity. Udo Thiel endorses a view that resembles the Sceptical Realist interpretation to some extent while taking issue with its ontological implications. Thiel argues that Hume’s so-called bundle theory of the mind is not a theory about its real essence but rather only a theory about our

Published: September 2016

Abstract
In this paper, we study the relation between a fuzzy measure and a fuzzy metric which is induced by the fuzzy measure. We also discuss some basic properties of the constructed fuzzy metric space. In particular, we show that the nonatom of fuzzy measure space can be characterized in the constructed fuzzy metric space.
A Neo-Armstrongian Defense of States of Affairs: A Reply to Vallicella
Authors: Perovic Katarina 
Published: September 2016

AbstractVallicella’s influential work makes a case that, when formulated broadly, as a problem about unity, Bradley’s challenge to Armstrongian states of affairs is practically insurmountable. He argues that traditional relational and non-relational responses to Bradley are inadequate, and many in the current metaphysical debate on this issue have come to agree. In this paper, I argue that such a conclusion is too hasty. Firstly, the problem of unity as applied to Armstrongian states of affairs is not clearly defined; in fact, it has taken a number of different forms each of which need to be carefully distinguished and further supported. Secondly, once we formulate the problem in more neutral terms, as a request for a characterization of the way that particulars, universals, and states of affairs stand to one another, it can be adequately addressed by an Armstrongian about states of affairs. I propose the desiderata for an adequate characterization and present a neo-Armstrongian defense of states of affairs that meets those desiderata. The latter relies on an important distinction between different notions of fundamentality and existential dependence.
Benthic diatoms of the Vrla River (Serbia) and their application in the water ecological status assessment
Authors: Jakovljević Olga , Popović Slađana , Živić Ivana , Stojanović Katarina , Krizmanić Jelena 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Epilithic diatoms from the Vrla River (Serbia) have been used to assess the ecological status of water. A total of 227 diatom taxa belonging to 50 genera were identified in the Vrla River during six research seasons with 13 dominant species recorded. Gomphonema (30 species), Navicula (28) and Nitzschia (26) were the most species-rich genera, followed by Pinnularia (12) and Encyonema (11). One taxa was recorded as new to Serbia – Geissleria acceptata. CCA grouped the diatom taxa into three main groups. The first group included taxa found at most of the sampling sites, the second group involved diatom taxa significantly positively correlated with the oxygen, while the third group showed positive correlation with temperature. RDA showed that some diatom taxa, including: Cocconeis placentula var. placentula, C. placentula var. lineata, C. pseudolineata and Mayamaea atomus var. permitis, are significantly positively correlated with temperature, while others, for example Achnanthidium minutissimum, Hannaea arcus, Nitzschia pura are mostly correlated with total phosphorus, alkalinity and water hardness. The ecological status of the Vrla River ranged from moderate, good to high. It was shown that according to the diatom indices, the ecological status of water downstream and upstream of a trout fish pond was slightly different.

Published: September 2016

AbstractIn aquatic environments, ciliates integrate the energy flowing through bacteria, smaller protozoa, and the prevailing fraction of algae and are further grazed upon by metazooplankton. Ciliates are incorporated into budgets and models describing ecosystem functioning. However, data for the parameterization and validation of models remain insufficient. In this study, annual production to biomass (P/B) ratios of pelagic ciliates were estimated in four lakes of different trophic status and at two sites located in the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea. All study sites were located in the temperate zone. The calculations were based on bulk data reflecting seasonal changes in ciliate production, which was estimated using an allometric equation. The annual ciliate P/B ratio for surface waters was 308 ± 81 yr-1(mean ± standard deviation). There was no statistically significant relationship between the mean annual ciliate biomass in particular water bodies and the annual P/B ratio. In the near-bottom waters, the annual P/B ratio was 78 ± 39 yr-1. Because of the possible food limitation of ciliate growth and reconstructions of the community due to changes in environmental conditions, the ciliate P/B ratio applied in models of temperate waters should range from 50% to 100% of the P/B ratios estimated in this study.
Selected extreme weather events on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea in the period 2001-2014
Authors: Filipiak Janusz , Malinowska Mirosława 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The article examines the spatial and temporal variability in selected extreme meteorological phenomena on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. Data from the 2001-2014 period related to a few meteorological and oceanographic elements were used to calculate indices of extreme weather events. The amount of intensive and widespread precipitation events in the 21st century corresponds well with the long-term means and is stable over a long period. The number of 50-60 frost days recorded per year has been systematically decreasing for several decades. Only a few deep cyclones occur per year and year-to-year variations of their number and magnitude corresponds to the overall long-term insignificant changes in the cyclone activity in the North Atlantic and the European region. The mean annual number of days with strong winds reaches nearly 8 cases per year. About 6 storm surges per year are recorded and this value has been slowly increasing in the long-term perspective. The rare occurrence of sea ice in 2001-2014 is a continuation of the reduction in the phenomenon observed in the 20th century. The passage of deep cyclones resulting in strong winds, storm surges and waves constitutes the most dangerous hazard to the coast.
The simplistic nitrogen input and output balance in Lake Łebsko – case study
Authors: Cieśliński Roman 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The paper is based on the hypothesis that coastal lakes significantly affect changes in the quality of freshwater coming from catchments, which is best reflected in the reduction of biogenic loads. Some of the main reasons for this phenomenon include unique geographic locations of coastal lakes and physical and chemical properties of their waters as well as other hydrographic determinants that affect water circulation in catchments. The study area covered the direct drainage basin of Lake Lebsko, which is located in Słowiński National Park in northern Poland, on the coast of the southern Baltic Sea. The study was conducted from June 2008 to October 2010. Fieldwork was the main part of the research project and included hydrographic mapping, water sampling for laboratory analysis, and measurement of the discharge in all tributaries and outflows of the studied lake. Water chemistry data for Lake Lebsko indicate a significant accumulation of biogenic materials in the lake, which proves a strong effect exerted by the lake on the incoming water. This is true for both total chemical loads per year as well as concentrations of selected ions over short time intervals. This standard pattern may be interrupted by seawater intrusions that alter water chemistry in the whole lake.
Cross-political pan-commercialism in the postmodern age and proposed readjustment of semiotic practices
Authors: Li Youzheng 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The present-day academic orientation of the semiotic movement is basically determined by professional institutions based on a global pan-commercialism across different political systems. This universal institutionalized scholarly tendency produces a utilitarian-motivated, pragmatist-determined attitude towards studies as well as to a set of profit-searching procedures. With a purpose to revive the classical ethos for scientific truth this paper redefines general semiotics as an interdisciplinary-directed functional organizer rather than as some fundamental philosophical doctrines. Being segregated from the mainstream of applied semiotic practices performed in different disciplines and cultural aspects the redefined general semiotics (GS model) will be directed to the higher academic-strategic problems about organizing the functionally unified development of human sciences in confrontation with the current intellectual-materialist domination originating from the commercial-technological trend towards globalization over spiritual freedom.
Apuntes sobre la historia de la vozgramaen español
Authors: Gutiérrez César 
Published: September 2016

ResumenLa vozgramaen español es considerada en la actualidad un patrimonialismo derivado del latíngraminapor medio de [min] > [mn] > [m]. No obstante, tanto esta etimología como esta evolución fonética son muy problemáticas por su naturalezaad hocen comparación con el resto de palabras castellanas cuyos étimos poseían [min] (v. gr.,alambre,hombre,nombre). En este artículo se investigarán estas cuestiones y se argumentará, primero, quegramaprocede, como otras variantes iberorrománicas (v. gr.,gambre,gramia,grame), de una forma similar al acusativo *graminem, y, segundo, que [min] > [m] es un desarrollo completamente ajeno al castellano. Estas conclusiones llevarán a proponer quegramaes un occidentalismo. Asimismo, se discutirán las causas de la epéntesis de [b] en las secuencias [mbɾ].
Phonetic accommodation in a situation of Spanish dialect contact: Coda /s/ and /r̄/ in Chicago
Authors: O’Rourke Erin , Potowski Kim 
Published: September 2016

AbstractWork on Spanish in the U.S. has increasingly examined the results of dialect contact. This paper analyzes realizations of syllable-final /s/ and word and syllable-initial /r̄/ in naturalistic interviews among 88 individuals in Chicago belonging to three generations of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans and two generations of “MexiRicans.” It explores: (1) whether realizations change depending on the dialect of the interviewer – that is, whether accommodation is taking place; (2) if there is change across generations; (3) in the case of MexiRicans, whether individuals’ realizations align with the mother’s ethnolinguistic group. Results show that Mexicans’ phonological behavior did not vary for /s/ or /r̄/ according to interlocutor, while Puerto Ricans used velarized /r̄/ more frequently with other Puerto Ricans at a rate approaching significance. Significant differences were also found between generations in several cases but not for mother’s ethnolinguistic group; the interaction of generation and interlocutor showed significance in some cases. We also observed a correspondence between the use of a weakened /s/ and velarized /r̄/, although there was considerable variation among individual speakers.

Authors: Shaaban Mohamed , Ghani Mohamed A. , Shaaban Khaled A. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
9-Hydroxy-10,11-dehydro-sarcotrocheliol (1), a new pyrane-based cembranoid diterpene, has been isolated along with three other known compounds, namely, sarcotrocheliol acetate (2), (+)-sarcophytol A (3), and (−)-sarcophytonin A (4), from the organic extract of the soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum. The chemical structures of compounds 1–4 were determined on the basis of their 1D and 2D NMR [1H, 13C, 1H–1H correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence, heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation, and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE)] and mass spectra [electron ionization (EI), electrospray ionization, and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)], and by comparison with related structures. The compounds 1–4 showed neither antimicrobial activity against 11 diverse tested microorganisms, nor cytotoxicity against brine shrimp, whereas the soft coral extract showed low cytotoxicity with a mortality rate of 1.7%.
The Quantum Dynamical Basis of a Classical Kinetic Scheme Describing Coherent and Incoherent Regimes of Radical Pair Recombination
Authors: Lukzen Nikita N. , Klein Johannes H. , Lambert Christoph , Steiner Ulrich E. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
In recent work from this group (J. H. Klein et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 11011), the magnetic field dependent charge recombination kinetics in donor/Ir-complex/acceptor triads has been determined with outstanding accuracy and reproducibility. The field-dependent kinetics has been analyzed in terms of a classical reaction scheme including the field-independent rate parameters of singlet recombination (rate constant k
S) and S/T0 mixing (rate constant k
ST0) and the field-dependent rate constant k±(B) connecting central and outer Zeeman levels. In the present work, the extraction of k± from the experimental data is more precisely defined and the appearance of a “coherent” and “incoherent” regime of spin motion in a double log plot of k± vs. B is confirmed. The experimental decay curves have been reproduced by a full quantum dynamical model based on the stochastic Liouville equation, which was solved numerically, taking into account isotropic hyperfine coupling with five nuclear spins (1 N on donor radical, 4 H on acceptor radical) and anisotropic hyperfine coupling with the nitrogen nucleus at the donor radical. The results of the quantum calculations serve as a rigorous basis of interpreting the classical parameter k±. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the incoherent part of spin motion is essential for a full understanding of the charge recombination kinetics even in the “coherent” regime.
Variables psicológicas que impulsan la difusión del rumor / Psychological variables which boost dissemination of rumor
Authors: Mazo Salmerón María Elena 
Published: September 2016

La difusión del rumor es un proceso que toma cuerpo mediante mecanismos muy complejos, entre los que se encuentran los procesos psicológicos que se van a identificar y analizar en este artículo. El rumor, como ejemplo de mensaje interpersonal y espontáneo, cobra una especial relevancia en la actualidad por su influencia en los medios de comunicación. Entre ellos cabe destacar su incidencia en los medios digitales. Desde que apareció Internet se ha multiplicado exponencialmente su cobertura de difusión. Además, se han producido destacados efectos, desde la desinformación, hasta la propagación de verdaderos “virus” en la sociedad actual. En las empresas y demás organizaciones también aparecen conflictos que generan un verdadero caldo de cultivo para este tipo de mensajes. El estudio de la persuasión, los procesos cognitivos, el entorno psicológico que favorece la propagación de rumores y el testimonio, entre otros, va a colaborar en la mejor comprensión del fenómeno objeto de estudio, como un caso peculiar y rebelde entre los diferentes tipos de mensajes que se generan en los medios y en los entornos corporativos –empresas e instituciones-.
What Happens When We Don’t Read Ballads Closely Enough
Authors: Socarides Alexandra 
Published: September 2016

Alexandra Socarides, “What Happens When We Don’t Read Ballads Closely Enough: The Cautionary Tale of the American Woman Poet and the Ballad” (pp. 215–226)
This essay looks closely at two ballads by the nineteenth-century American poet Emma Embury in order to explore some of the ways in which the ballad’s use of the structural refrain enables a critique of its often-gendered content. By situating Embury’s poems within the context of the proliferation of the “bad woman ballads” that appeared in print in the first several decades of the nineteenth century, this essay explores her particular manipulations of the genre. In Embury’s ballads, the cautionary tale is housed in a refrain that is sung by a woman. This form works to make these women’s downfalls come true at the same time that it suggests a way out of this endlessly repeatable story that the genre performs so faithfully. This essay suggests that in our consideration of the genre, we pay particularly close attention to how women poets approached the ballad’s formal devices.
