Epistemicity, social identity and politeness marking: A pragmatic analysis of Bajjika verbal inflections
Authors: Kashyap Abhishek Kumar , Yap Foong Ha 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThis article examines the pragmatic uses of the verbal inflections in Bajjika, a Bihari language within the “eastern” group of the Indo-Aryan family. Previous studies have shown that Bajjika has a very complex system of verb-agreement, which is typical of Bihari languages but atypical of other Indo-Aryan languages. Of particular interest here is that Bajjika allows a maximum of two person-agreement slots in its verbal morphology: the first slot for markers that co-index with nominative participants, and the second slot for those markers that co-index with non-nominative participants as well as third person referents that are outside the discourse context (cf. Kashyap 2012, The pragmatic principles of agreement in Bajjika verbs.Journal of Pragmatics44(13). 1868−1887). Our analysis, based on conversational data of Bajjika, reveals that the person-agreement system in Bajjika also registers the social standing of the interlocutors and third person referents along factors reflecting social hierarchy (e.g., age, rank, profession, and social class). Additionally, the non-nominative person-agreement markers (involving second and third but not first person reference) combine with future tense markers to yield epistemic effects (e.g., pragmatic softening or hedging) that contribute to the negotiation of face-needs among discourse participants and discourse referents. These findings have implications for the relationship between deictic elements (e.g., tense and person-agreement markers) and politeness strategies, and may shed light on the pragmatic uses of verbal inflections in other Bihari languages as well as other languages with verbal morphology that encode deictic information.
There and back again – but how? Motion event encoding in the Chinese translation ofThe Hobbit
Authors: Lester Richard 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThis paper extends Slobin’s (2005, Relating narrative events in translation. In Dorit D. Ravid & Hava B. Shyldkrot (eds.),Perspectives on language and language development: Essays in honor of Ruth A. Berman, 115–129. Dordrecht: Kluwer) examination of 10 satellite- and verb-framed translations of a single English text to Chinese, a language considered variously as a satellite-framed language and an equipollently framed language. The Chinese translation is examined in terms of the patterns of manner and path encoding employed in attempting to reproduce the vividness of manner description and degree of detailed path elaboration of the original source text, and in how these compare to the other languages examined in Slobin. Lexical, morphosyntactic, typological and cultural factors contributing to the overall narrative style of Chinese are examined, and an evaluation offered of the place of Chinese on proposed clines of manner and path salience.

Research of Surface Roughness Anisotropy
Authors: Bulaha N. , Rudzitis J. , Lungevics J. , Linins O. , Krizbergs J. 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The authors of the paper have investigated surfaces with irregular roughness for the purpose of determination of roughness spacing parameters perpendicularly to machining traces – RSm1
and parallel to them – RSm2
, as well as checking the relationship between the surface anisotropy coefficient c and surface aspect ratio Str from the standard LVS EN ISO 25178-2. Surface roughness measurement experiments with 11 surfaces show that measuring equipment values of mean spacing of profile irregularities in the longitudinal direction are not reliable due to the divergence of surface mean plane and roughness profile mean line. After the additional calculations it was stated that parameter Str can be used for determination of parameter RSm2
and roughness anisotropy evaluation for grinded, polished, friction surfaces and other surfaces with similar characteristics.

Abstract
To understand the mechanisms standing behind a successful stem cell-based therapy, the monitoring of transplanted cell’s migration, homing as well as the engraftment efficiency and functional capability in-vivo has become a critical issue. The present study was designed to track the labelled oADMSCs in-vitro and its visualization through MRI technique. oADMSCs from passage 4 (P-4) to passage 6 (P-6) were labelled with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) conjugated with rhodamine (Molday Ion Rhodamine-B - MIRB) at the concentration of 25μg Fe/ml in DMEM. Internalized MIRB was observed under fluorescent microscope after 72 hrs of incubation. Labelled oADMSCs showed Prussian Blue positive reaction demonstrating the iron uptake of the cells. The viability of the MIRB-labelled oADMSCs ranged between 98-99 per cent and Trypan blue exclusion test showed no significant difference in viability between labelled and unlabelled oADMSCs. MR signal in control group of cells was similar to that of water. MR signals or fluorescence in MIRB-labelled cells decreased with increasing concentrations of iron. The T2 weighted images of MIRB-labelled oADMSCs increased with increasing concentrations of SPIOs. The MIRB was found to be nontoxic, and did not affect proliferation capacity in-vitro.
Seasonal variation of bat-flies (Diptera: Streblidae) in four bat species from a tropical dry forest
Authors: Salinas-Ramos Valeria B. , Zaldívar-Riverón Alejandro , Rebollo-Hernández Andrea , Herrera-M L. Gerardo 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Seasonality of climate promotes differences in abundance and species composition of parasites, affecting host-parasite interactions. Studies have reported seasonal variation in bat-flies, which are obligate bat ectoparasites. We characterized the bat-fly load of three insectivores [Pteronotus davyi (Gray), Pteronotus parnellii (Gray) and Pteronotus personatus (Wagner)] and one nectarivorous [Leptonycteris yerbabuenae (Martínez and Villa-R.)] bat species in a tropical dry forest to test the existence of seasonality in response to the availability of resources during the wet and dry seasons. We collected 3710 bat-fly specimens belonging to six species and two genera from 497 bats. Most of the ectoparasite load parameters examined (mean abundance, mean intensity, richness, etc.), including comparisons among reproductive conditions and sex of the host, were similar in both seasons. Prevalence was the parameter that varied the most between seasons. The six bat-fly species were found in all bat species except P. personatus. The latter species and L. yerbabuenae had four and five bat-fly species in the wet and dry seasons, respectively. This study provides significant information of ectoparasites ecology in relation to seasonality, contributes to the understanding of host-parasite relationships in tropical dry forests and discusses the relevance of the abiotic and biotic factors that could impact host-parasite interactions.
Grenzenloses Heldentum revisited
Authors: Ganzer Christian 
Published: June 2017

Zusammenfassung
Die Kämpfe um die Brester Festung vom 22. bis 29. Juni 1941 gehören zu den weniger bekannten Ereignissen an der Ostfront während des Deutsch-Sowjetischen Krieges. In der Sowjetunion hingegen wurde die »heldenhafte Verteidigung der Brester Festung« als Schlüsselereignis dieses Krieges aufgefasst. Nach der offiziellen Version dauerte sie 32 Tage, gerieten nur wenige Rotarmisten in deutsche Gefangenschaft, alle kämpften bis zur letzten Patrone. Dies war die Grundlage, auf welcher der Festung der Titel »Heldenfestung« verliehen und eine monumentale Gedenkstätte eingerichtet wurde.
In einer dichten Beschreibung zeichnet der Autor den Verlauf der Kampfhandlungen auf der Mikro-Ebene nach. Darüber hinaus wendet er sich kontroversen Fragen wie den Verlustzahlen beider Seiten sowie einigen populäreren Motiven des offiziellen Narrativs zu. Er kommt zu dem Schluss, dass das offizielle Narrativ dem Gewicht der Quellen kaum standzuhalten vermag.1
Aufrüstung, Grenzschließung und Besatzungsstatus der DDR
Authors: Wettig Gerhard 
Published: June 2017

Zusammenfassung
Stalins Entscheidung, die DDR in die östliche Aufrüstung einzubeziehen, hatte Folgen: Die Propagierung der deutschen Einheit als Alternative zur Westbindung verlor ihre Grundlage; die Grenze zur Bundesrepublik und zu Westberlin wurde abgeriegelt; die Sowjetisierung wurde rücksichtslos vorangetrieben. Gleichwohl firmierten die militärischen Verbände als »Kasernierte Volkspolizei«; es gab Nötigung, aber keine Wehrpflicht; die Grenze in Berlin blieb entgegen Ulbrichts Drängen offen. Viele entzogen sich dem verschärften Zwangsregime durch Flucht in den Westen. Stalins Nachfolger suchten das Problem durch Entlastung von Druck zu lösen. Der Bevölkerung wurde verschwiegen, dass es um die Konsolidierung des Systems, nicht um seine Veränderung ging. Das führte zum 17. Juni. Der Kreml reagierte mit Stabilisierungsmaßnahmen und bekräftigte die Zweistaatlichkeit durch Aufhebung des Besatzungsregimes in der DDR, nicht aber in Berlin. Zur neuen Leitparole wurde die Forderung nach Ersetzung der NATO durch ein System der kollektiven Sicherheit in Europa.
Unidirectional reflectionless light propagation at exceptional points

Published: June 2017

Abstract
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of unidirectional reflectionless light propagation in photonic devices at exceptional points (EPs). EPs, which are branch point singularities of the spectrum, associated with the coalescence of both eigenvalues and corresponding eigenstates, lead to interesting phenomena, such as level repulsion and crossing, bifurcation, chaos, and phase transitions in open quantum systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Recently, it was shown that judiciously designed photonic synthetic matters could mimic the complex non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in quantum mechanics and realize unidirectional reflection at optical EPs. Unidirectional reflectionlessness is of great interest for optical invisibility. Achieving unidirectional reflectionless light propagation could also be potentially important for developing optical devices, such as optical network analyzers. Here, we discuss unidirectional reflectionlessness at EPs in both parity-time (PT)-symmetric and non-PT-symmetric optical systems. We also provide an outlook on possible future directions in this field.

Spatial and seasonal variations in the planktonic ciliate community and its relationship with environmental factors in Daya Bay, the South China Sea
Authors: Wu Fengxia , Huang Jianrong , Qi Zhanhui , Huang Honghui 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Planktonic ciliate composition, abundance and its response to environmental change were investigated during four seasons (winter of 2013, spring, summer and autumn of 2014) in Daya Bay, the South China Sea. A total of 41 species belonging to eight orders were identified, 14 of which were dominant. Planktonic ciliate communities showed a distinct seasonal pattern in ciliate abundance and a clear seasonal shift in the taxonomic composition. The largest number of ciliate species occurred in summer, whereas the highest abundance peaked in spring, mainly due to oligotrichids. In terms of spatial distribution, ciliate species were abundant in the area of artificial reefs, and ciliate abundance was higher in the Dapeng Cove aquaculture area and lower at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station. Clustering analysis demonstrated that the seasonal variations of the ciliate community structure were more obvious than spatial variations. Multivariate and univariate analyses illustrated that ciliate abundance was significantly correlated with the water nutrient level and chlorophyll-a concentration, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen. Moreover, the dominant abiotic environmental factors affecting the spatial pattern of ciliate communities varied between seasons.
Biological factor controlling methane production in surface sediment in the Polish part of the Vistula Lagoon
Authors: Reindl Andrzej R. , Bolałek Jerzy 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Due to the limited water exchange, lagoons are particularly prone to eutrophication. The consumption of oxygen in this process, coupled with simultaneous enrichment of bottom sediments with organic matter, reinforces the occurrence of anaerobic conditions and methanogenic growth. Methanogenic archaea activities cause depolymerization of organic compounds accumulated in sediments. As a result of such ecosystem transformation, methane might be produced and emitted from this basin. Chemical studies conducted in 2010 were focused on methane content in the surface bottom sediments in the Polish part of the Vistula Lagoon. The results showed that the highest methane concentration occurs in the southwestern part of this basin (6.45 mmol dm-3), while the lowest one in the southeastern part (7.1 × 10-3 mmol dm-3). Molecular studies were focused on specific methanogenic archaea gene identification. The comparison of nucleotide sequences of “mcrA gene” clones obtained from genomic DNA isolated from the Vistula Lagoon sediments indicates a similarity to the yet uncultivated archaea, but also to archaea from the Methanosarcinales and Methanomicrobiales orders.
Co-occurrence of Sinanodonta woodiana with native Unionidae in the lower Oder
Authors: Szlauer-Łukaszewska Agnieszka , Andrzejewski Wojciech , Gierszal Henryk , Urbańska Maria 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The Asiatic bivalve Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834), which is more and more widespread in all parts of Europe, in Poland has been mostly reported from lentic waters, especially fish ponds. In contrast to some other European countries, no data have been published on its presence in rivers of Poland. In 2015, monitoring was carried out in the lower Oder River and in the mouth of the Warta River, as a result of which S. woodiana was recorded there for the first time. This was possible due to prolonged drought, which led to extremely low water levels in most of the inland water bodies and watercourses, so that other research methods could be used. The presented results confirm that the species spreads easily by colonizing waters of various types, which in the future may lead to the formation of large populations.

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Nowadays, maritime infrastructure is heavily exploited, which requires monitoring. The article presents the implementation of spatial information which are point clouds for monitoring and analysis of the area around the port (buildings and wharves). For this study, point clouds coming from terrestrial (TLS) and airborne laser scanning (ALS), each of them having different accuracy, were used. An important part of the analysis was the integration of the two data sources. Through integration, the acquisition of information on areas not covered by the measurement in the presented case, one of the methods was possible for use (e.g. the roofs in case of TLS, or the lack of some of the walls of buildings in case of ALS). Another aspect was to use this data. Measurement of the shape and geometry of objects was executed. Additionally, the planeness analysis of individual elements of port infrastructure has been carried out. An interesting analysis was to determine the water level, based on relation to specific characteristics of the light reflectance.

Authors: Waś Jakub , Sitarski Dominik , Ewertowska Paulina , Bloda Justyna , Czaprowski Dariusz 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Introduction: In physiotherapeutic diagnostic processes, various tools and methods may be used. However, price and availability may limit their daily use in clinical practice. Therefore, the suggestion that smartphones with specific applications may be useful as diagnostic tools can be found in the literature. However, before using them in clinical practice, it is important to verify their reliability. The aim of the study was to evaluate the consistency of measurements of the curvatures in the sagittal plane performed with the Saunders digital inclinometer and a smartphone application.
Materials and methods: The study included 40 subjects aged 22-39 years (23.0 ± 3.7). All subjects had sagittal spinal curvatures (sacral slope - SS, lumbar lordosis - L, thoracic kyphosis - K, upper thoracic kyphosis - K1, lower thoracic kyphosis - K2) measured in both standing and sitting positions with the Saunders digital inclinometer and a smartphone application.
Results: In measurements performed with the use of the Saunders inclinometer and the smartphone, no significant differences were found between the size of the curvatures of the spine in a standing position (SS 19° ±8.2 vs. 17° ±8.4 p=0.3; L 32° ±11.1 vs. 29° ±10.3 p=0.2; K 43° ±8.4 vs. 41° ±8.1 p=0.2; K1 31° ±7.2 vs. 29.0° ±7.3; K2 11o ±7.4 vs. 11.0° ±6.7) and a sitting position (SS 3.75° ±8.9° p=0.8; L 5.8° ±9.06 vs. 5.2° ±8.5 p=0.75; K 40.0° ±8.1 vs. 36.7° ±7.9 p=0.6; K1 25.8° ±7.1 vs. 24.9° ±7.1; K2 14.5° ±9.9 vs. 11.5° ±9.4).
Conclusions: The examination of spinal curvatures in the sagittal plane using Saunders digital inclinometer and a smartphone application allows researchers to obtain reliable results. Therefore, smartphones can be used for an objective evaluation of the musculoskeletal system in daily clinical practice.

Missio Dei – the contemporary missionary paradigm and its reception in the Eastern Orthodox missionary theology
Authors: Sonea Cristian 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the reception of the missio Dei paradigm in the Eastern Orthodox theology of mission. We will start with a short presentation of the genesis of the concept, and we will continue with its reception in the Protestant and Roman Catholic theology, as well as in the Eastern Orthodox thinking. The paper attempts to demonstrate that the contemporary way to understand the missionary theology and practice is in accordance with the Orthodox traditional missionary theology. At the same time, the article emphasizes the fact that the reception of missio Dei is connected with the view that different ecclesiastical bodies have about church itself. The conclusion includes some practical remarks about ways of applying the concept in the contemporary ecumenical missiology and in the field of spiritual missiology.
