Philosophical meanings as the ordering principles of human life in culture
Authors: Шелекета Владислав , Sheleketa Vladislav , Ивахнов Василий , Ivakhnov Vasiliy 
Published: December 2015

The article discusses issues related to the problem of justifying the value of philosophical creativity in modern
culture. It proves the author’s position of special significance of philosophy for the development of personal
culture, and worldview of the person and modern society. The article shows that philosophizing is inherently
different from other forms of creativity in culture, and agues that philosophical oeuvre bases on the critical
perception of the existing knowledge. Involving the theory of self-organization – synergetic – the authors have
shown systemic nature of meaning, which plays the role of attractor (a stable solution in the space of cultural
meanings). But the sense of simultaneously co-exists in close connection with ad-culture knowledge represented
in archetypal forms, continually becoming, realized in connection with the activities of consciousness and
clarifying the nature of meaning. The authors demonstrate their position with the notion of discourse. The
phenomenon of discourse is considered in its ontological dimensions as a conceptual basis of human existence
and position in the culture. On the theories of postmodernism and poststructuralism the authors determine the
form of philosophizing, based on the paradoxical structures that have under-subject nature. In this sense, there
is the way to overcome the subject-object dualism, because the detection of under-subject nature of the meaning
displays this meaning beyond the boundaries of the semantic field of culture. In this case, Philosophizing is a
special form of operating in meanings that have just the same universal nature that is inherent to the nature of
the phenomenon of meaning. In the end, the authors conclude that the role of philosophy in culture consists of
the ability, which exists in its own nature. Philosophical discourse demonstrates its universal and integrative
nature in socio-cultural space, creating a unique specific form of positioning oneself in the world. The authors
conclude that philosophizing as a form of art, similar to “the science of Socrates” – the art of the truth birth in
the course of the dispute, allows all cultural forms to stay dynamic, being in constant dialogue with each other,
thereby freezing in their own forms.

Published: November 2015

Cel pracyCelem niniejszego badania było określenie nasilenia lęku jako cechy i lęku jako stanu u pacjentów leczonych intensywną, krótkoterminową psychoterapią grupową z powodu zaburzeń nerwicowych i zaburzeń osobowości oraz analiza różnic nasilenia lęku zmierzonych na początku i na końcu terapii.MetodaW badaniu wzięło udział 116 pacjentów (81 kobiet i 35 mężczyzn). Pomiaru nasilenia lęku dokonano przy użyciu polskiej adaptacji Inwentarza Stanu i Cechy Lęku (STAI).. Badane zmienne (lęk-stan i lęk-cecha) mierzono na początku i na końcu leczenia.WynikiU większości pacjentów (69% badanej grupy) nasilenie lęku-stanu na początku leczenia było wysokie, z czego u 47,4% bardzo wysokie. Nasilenie lęku-cechy na początku leczenia było wysokie u 64,7%, z czego u 50,9% bardzo wysokie. Na podstawie obliczonych wartości RCI oraz RCV (Reliable Change Index/Value) istotną zmianę w nasileniu lęku-stanu stwierdzono u 62%, w tym u 48,3% obniżenie, a u 13,8% zwiększenie nasilenia. W skali lęku–cechy istotną zmianę odnotowano u 44%, w tym u 36,2% poprawę, a u 7,8% pogorszenie. U ponad połowy badanych po zakończeniu leczenia zarówno poziom lęku-stanu, jak i lęku-cechy mieścił się w obszarze wartości średnich i niskich.WnioskiU większości pacjentów leczonych z powodu zaburzeń nerwicowych i osobowości nasilenie lęku-cechy i lęku-stanu na początku terapii jest wysokie. W toku psychoterapii dochodzi do istotnej redukcji nasilenia lęku-stanu i lęku-cechy, co przejawia się zmniejszoną tendencją pacjentów do reagowania lękiem. Istotnie pogorszenie w zakresie lęku-cechy obserwuje się u co trzynastego leczonego. Polska adaptacja kwestionariusza STAI jest użytecznym narzędziem do monitorowania skuteczności procesu psychoterapii i może znaleźć zastosowanie w diagnostyce przesiewowej zaburzeń nerwicowych i osobowości.
Carving, modelling, painting: Adrian Stokes and Merlin James
Authors: Iversen Margaret 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
As an antidote to reductive tendencies in much psychoanalytic art criticism, this article takes up the writings of the English art critic, Adrian Stokes. The great virtue of his criticism is that, rather than deciphering images, he responded to the handling of materials and the qualities of the medium. His key critical terms, carving and modelling, although derived from sculpture, are more generally illuminating. They are not just techniques but attitudes to the world informed by Melanie Klein’s ‘paranoid–schizoid’ and ‘depressive’ positions. The article concludes with a brief discussion of the painting and writing of one contemporary British artist who has a high regard for Stokes, Merlin James.
A ‘shimmering thing at the edge of analysis’: Figure/ground and the paintings of Agnes Martin
Authors: Morley Simon 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
My specific focus is the relationship of figure/ground segregation in painting to the pressures of impermanence, non-differentiation and non-duality. Figure/ground assignment depends on the mind’s ability to establish, process and stabilize clear contrasts or dualisms within the visual field, which then become the basis for all cognitive binaries. The flat, framed format of painting makes figure/ground assignment a central issue. Normally, when we perceive an image we also consign a background to imperception, but blurring out of fine detail, softening of sharp edges and contrast sensitivity frustrate this perceptual activity, undermining the distinction between presence and absence, and bringing to light an undifferentiated foundation. I discuss the physiology and phenomenology of vision, and research in the neurosciences, and focus on the paintings of the American artist Agnes Martin (1912–2004) and the challenge they pose to stable figure/ground assignment. Within her work I identify the shifting shape of non-normative subjectivity.
Jo Melvin and Clive Phillpot in conversation at the exhibition Jeff Gibbons: IN Signific Landscapes at Take 5, Norwich
Authors: Melvin Jo 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The article introduces Jeff Gibbons’ painting within the context of a public conversation held during his exhibition IN Signific Landscapes at Take 5, Norwich (29 September–18 October 2014) between Jo Melvin and Clive Phillpot. The term ‘conversation’ was deliberately chosen to indicate the discursive informality of the advertised gallery discussion. The edited transcript below preserves the performative quality of live exchange. Melvin curated the exhibition, which was accompanied by a publication devised for the occasion. This included a pseudonymously authored introduction by Melvin (Leo Manjivan), ‘Signific Landscapes for Jeff Gibbons: A play on authorship, expectation and significance’, and essays by Gustavo Grandal-Montero (senior librarian, special collections manager Chelsea, Camberwell, Wimbledon, University of the Arts, London), ‘Signific Landscapes’, and, by Gibbons, ‘Signing Significantly’. The conversation situates the way in which Gibbons takes his cue from the autodidact philosopher, Victoria, Lady Welby (1837–1912), who coined the term ‘signific’, using it as the starting point for this particular body of work.
Smitten: From domestic bliss to domestic violence in the Cook Islands and the Timeline of Abuse
Authors: Anderson Erica 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The Cook Islands is an archipelago of fifteen tiny islands scattered across an area of the Pacific that is equivalent in size to Western Europe but with only 13,500 inhabitants. This article describes and discusses the first research on domestic violence to have been conducted throughout the whole of the Cook Islands. Qualitative interviews were conducted on every inhabited island in the country. The participants were Cook Islands women who had been, or who still were, victims of domestic violence. The research aimed to discover whether there was domestic violence throughout the Cook Islands and to hear from the victims about their experiences. The research also had an overarching goal of ensuring that the victims’ voices were paramount, in order that they could be heard. In this article, the women tell their compelling stories and, despite the fact that the women come from several different generations and are on isolated islands, the results show that there are remarkable similarities in their stories. These similarities include the methods and types of abuse they experienced and their resultant psychosocial problems. Lastly, the results show that when the similarities in the women’s stories are synthesized and compared to existing, worldwide research, this leads to the theory of the Timeline of Abuse, which is published here for the first time.
Assesment of public policies regarding the Turkish juvenile justice system and inferences for functional system<p>Türk çocuk ceza adalet sistemi kamu politikalarının değerlendirilmesi ve işlevsel bir sisteme ilişkin çıkarımlar
Authors: Kula Sedat 
Published: December 2015

<p>Turkish juvenile justice system constitutes special and important place in justice system due to its focal point to the juvenile and juvenile rights. As it is in the world, the main purpose of the juvenile justice system in Turkey is not only to handle the judicial process, but also to get the juveniles out of the system at lower costs as possible and to make them continue their lives without having any problems. Besides the policies and implications carried out in the juvenile justice system in the name of struggling with juvenile delinquency, this study emphasizes the importance of crime prevention strategies out of the juvenile justice system. Within this frame, it is emphasized the necessity of all related institutions working together in a harmony after analyzing the Turkish juvenile justice system. Another important point that this study tries to emphasize is that policies in the scope of the juvenile justice system were not created based on the idea of preventing crime committing again, rather based on punishment, compensation, and public protection. Therefore, it is recommended to review the policies and to emphasize the necessity of functional and integrated juvenile justice system.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Odak noktasında çocuk ve çocuk haklarının olması sebebiyle Türk Çocuk Adalet Sistemi (TÇAS), adalet sisteminin çok özel ve önemli bir alanını oluşturmaktadır. Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de çocuk ceza adalet sisteminin temel amacı sadece çocuğun içinde bulunduğu adli durumla ilgili adil bir işlem tesis etmek değil aynı zamanda çocuğun bu zorlayıcı süreçten en az zararla çıkmasını sağlamak ve yetişkin bir birey olarak olabildiğince sorunsuz hayatlarına devam etmelerini sağlamaktır. Çocuk suçluluğu ile daha etkin mücadele edilmesi noktasında ceza adalet sistemi içerisindeki politika ve uygulamaların yanı sıra bu sistemin dışında ki suç önleme stratejilerinin de mutlaka ele alınması gerektiğinden haraketle bu çalışmada Türk çocuk ceza adalet sistemi üzerinde kapsamlı bir analiz yapılarak Türk çocuk adalet sisteminde yer alan tüm kurum ve kuruluşların uyum ve eşgüdümlü şekilde çalışması gerektiği üzerinde durulmaktadır. Üzerinde durulan diğer önemli bir husus ta çocuk ceza adalet sistemi içerisinde üretilen politikaların suçun tekrarının önlenmesine yönelik esaslı bir düşünce tarzından ziyade genelde cezalandırma, geleneksel caydırıcılık, etkisiz hale getirme, iyileştirme, kamunun korunması ve zararın tazmini temeline dayanmakta olduğu tezinden hareketle bu konudaki politikaların gözden geçirilerek işlevsel ve bütüncül bir sistemin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktır.</p>

Zusammenschreibung im Althochdeutschen und Altniederdeutschen bis ca. 975: Ergebnisse einer paläographischen Untersuchung
Authors: Busch Nathanael , Fleischer Jürg 
Published: December 2015

AbstractWord separation, an innovation of the early Middle Ages, was not yet as prominent in Old High German and Old Saxon records as it is in modern printing. A paleographic investigation, based on individual pages of ten different manuscripts mostly dating from the 9th century and originating from different scriptoria and dialect regions, unveils that clitics were often written together with their hosts. Individual differences between scribes are more important than date of a manuscript, dialectal provenance, or the language written: the usage of scribes by whom Latin as well as Old High German passages are attested does hardly display differences depending on the language.
Towards automated preprocessing of bulk data in digital forensic investigations using hash functions
Authors: Baier Harald 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Handling bulk data (e. g. some terabytes of data) is a issue in
contemporary digital forensics. Separating relevant data structures
from irrelevant ones resembles finding the needle in the haystack.
The article at hand presents and assesses automatic hash-based
techniques to preprocess the input data with the goal to facilitate
the investigator's job. We discuss concepts like blacklisting and
whitelisting based on cryptographic hash functions and approximate
matching, respectively. In case of two established process models for
a lab and an on-site investigation, respectively, we describe how to
jointly use these techniques to automatically get a pointer to the
needle.

Privacy issues in the Domain Name System and techniques for self-defense
Authors: Herrmann Dominik 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
There is a growing interest in retaining and analyzing
metadata. Motivated by this trend, the dissertation studies the
potential for surveillance via the Domain Name System, an important
infrastructure service on the Internet. Three fingerprinting
techniques are developed and evaluated. The first technique allows
a resolver to infer the URLs of the websites a user visits by matching
characteristic patterns in DNS requests. The second technique allows
to determine operating system and browser of a user based on
behavioral features. Thirdly, and most importantly, it is demonstrated
that the activities of users can be tracked over multiple sessions,
even when the IP address of the user changes over time. In addition,
the dissertation considers possible countermeasures. Obfuscating the
desired hostnames by sending a large number of dummy requests
(so-called range queries), turns out to be less effective than
believed so far. Therefore, more appropriate techniques (mixing
queries, pushing popular queries, and extended caching of results) are
proposed in the thesis. The results raise awareness for an overlooked
threat that infringes the privacy of Internet users, but they also
contribute to the development of more usable and more effective
privacy enhancing technologies.
Appreciation of the Swiss Franc and its Impact on Romania and other Central and Eastern European Countries
Authors: David Delia , Rai Shailendra Kumar , Paiusan Luminita 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The decision of the Swiss National Bank of giving up the fixed rate of 1,2 Euro/CHF on the 15th of January 2015, a rate established at its admission to the Monetary Economic Union, had consequences on Central and Eastern European countries because a great part of the credits granted were in Swiss francs. In all these countries, the national currencies depreciated and the financial market rates were reduced. Regional banks started to face difficulties regarding the management of the situation and were under the necessity of finding solutions to avoid the risk of not recovering the granted credits. The issue of the Swiss franc appreciation was treated differently by the analysed countries and took into consideration the particularities characteristic to the credits granted in this currency. The present paper aims at emphasising the impact of the Swiss franc appreciation on the Romanian banking system but also the approach of other countries in Central and Eastern Europe in this respect.
What Drives Private Equity Investments in Romania?
Authors: Precup Mihai 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
This paper aims at presenting the determinants of private equity investments in Romania over the period 2000 - 2013. Additionally, this paper presents the main highlights in terms of evolution, source of funding and activities in which the private equity funds invested during the crisis. Starting from the existing literature, this paper extends the analysis of private equity drivers to Romanian market by including variables such as: economic growth, market capitalization, interest rate, unemployment rate and public R&D expenditure which were already tested in previous papers. In addition, this paper introduces new variables such us productivity and corruption index which we consider important factors in explaining the evolution of private equity investments in Romania.
The results of our empirical model confirmed existing hypothesis regarding the importance of some determinants such as: unemployment rate, economic growth, market capitalization and corruption. Based on our empirical results, we have pointed several strategic directions that are meant to support the development of the private equity market in Romania. Keywords: private equity; economic growth; market capitalization; unemployment rate; corruption; private equity determinants; Romania.
Modelling Central Bank Independence and Inflation: Deus Ex Machina?
Authors: Dumiter Florin , Brezeanu Petre , Radu Claudia , Turcas Florin 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Central bank independence represents the core element of assessing the complex relationship between government and central bank, having at background the fundamental issue of a free monetary policy decision-making process from the hands of the political circle. However, central bank independence is a multilevel concept within some social, economic and behavioral implications both for the central banks and for the society at whole. Central bank independence is needed in order to establish an autonomous central bank with a high degree of freedom in choosing its’ instruments, objectives, techniques and tactics. Moreover, a high degree of transparency for the public disclosure and monitoring of central bank operation and transaction is needed for the social barometer of the central bank. Consequently the central bank must have a high degree of accountability and responsibility vis - á - vis of the most democratic institution, i.e. Parliament. In this article it is presented a comprehensive study regarding the complex relationship between central bank independence and inflation by modeling these two monetary policy panacea, in order to make a fine tuning regarding the causal relationship established in a heterodox manner.
Auch früher wollte man informieren – Zum Einfluss der Informationsstruktur auf die Syntax in der Geschichte des Deutschen
Authors: Speyer Augustin 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Theoretical insights achieved by research on information structure in the past 30 years have recently begun to be adopted by researchers working diachronically on German syntax. Several aspects, especially to Old High German syntax, have been investigated, but there are many desiderata and a synthesis is still missing. From these studies we can say that the influence of information structure on syntax has changed: While in Old High German all ‘fields’ of the clause have a special information structural assignment (up to the point that the presence/absence of a field is correlated to the presence/absence of a certain information structural category), in Modern German the prefield and the afterfield are multifunctional, whereas information structural ordering occurs only in the middle field. Some information structural dimensions have gained importance, e. g. the old-new distinction for object order.
