These robes were made for sin: The symbolism of clothing in Paradise Lost
Authors: Bodó Bence Levente 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
I examine how Paradise Lost by John Milton embeds the first recognition of nudity and the subsequent wearing of clothes in a crucially moral setting, creating a semiotic discourse where the material presence of the first garments signify the ontological change of the first pair. Clothes here, instead of fulfilling the functional purpose of covering the body to protect it from a harsh environment or even the penetrative gaze of the Almighty, reveal the presence of sin and, thus, the absence of innocence. To have knowledge of good and evil, it seems, also implies the knowledge of clothes. The study maps out how the very fact of wearing clothes and the differences between the garments that weave through the epic turn into ambiguous poetic tools, where clothes either represent a barrier between interpretation and meaning or turn into material manifestations of meaning.
A very British tease: Costume, fetishism and materiality in soft-core pornography
Authors: Kirkham Neil 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article will analyse the use of costume in heterosexual soft-core pictorial pornography. It will focus on the British website onlyallsites.com, which will be positioned as offering a materiality to costume that goes beyond the dressing of the female body. Building on this author’s wider work around clothing and pornography, and previous work on the sociocultural meaning of underwear and fetishism, it will situate its case study within the context of a ‘British erotic’ and emphasize the key role that costume plays in the construction of soft-core pornographic representations.
An action of orientation – Skinner Releasing Technique in reflective practice
Authors: Dean Sally E. , Nathanielsz Julie 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article contextualizes and critiques Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT), the somatic dance and movement practice developed by American choreographer, dancer and teacher Joan Skinner. The writing arises from conversations between Sally E. Dean and Julie Nathanielsz, each a SRT practitioner and teacher for over fifteen years, and lays out some of their emerging observations and questions about Skinner Releasing: What is the significance of orientating in the process of letting go? Is there an ‘underlying body’ in this technique? How do we understand possible relationships of body and image through the practice? The aim of this writing is to make connections with embodied3 experience rather than ideology, and to open an important dialogue into current practice and teaching of SRT, by first locating the technique in its somatic, historical and cultural context.
Eje 3. Producciones cinematográficas contemporáneas: características y estrategias narrativas: La (di)solución idiota de la política: el 15M en el objetivo
Authors: Martínez de Albeniz Iñaki 
Published: December 2017

La política atraviesa, en la actualidad, una profunda crisis de sentido. Este artículo plantea la hipótesis de que la única manera de salir de esta encrucijada es atendiendo a aquellos ámbitos de la realidad que han sido tradicionalmente considerados como impolíticos. Reviste especial relevancia en este empeño la paradójica figura del idiota, aquel que renunciando a la política se erige en subjetividad política por antonomasia. La dificultad de abordar esta figura reside en que más que definirla, sólo se puede mostrar. En este sentido, el cine es un dispositivo privilegiado para mostrar las potencialidades del idiota como nueva subjetividad política. En el texto se repasan las distintas propuestas de cine idiota, tanto europeas como norteamericanas, y se trata de arrojar luz a través de ellas sobre uno de los acontecimiento políticos más hermosos y desconcertantes que se han vivido en España en los últimos tiempos, el 15M.
Der Mensch als Selbst. Zum Begriff des präreflexiven Selbstbewusstseins in Kierkegaards Krankheit zum Tode (1849)
Authors: Viertbauer Klaus 
Published: December 2017

AbstractMy paper addresses the question whether Kierkegaard’s concept of the self is compatible with or even implies the notion of a prereflective form of selfawareness. I will connect Kierkegaard to the traditions of Idealism (e. g., Fichte) and Romanticism (e. g., Schleiermacher), as analyzed by the so-called “Heidelberg School,” in particular Dieter Henrich and Manfred Frank. While there are many interpretations of Kierkegaard’s concept of the self, especially with regard to The Sickness unto Death (1849), my own approach is unique in that it is based on a closer look at and comparison of Kierkegaard and Schleiermacher. I will argue, in particular, that both authors favor a non-egological model of self-awareness.
Theoretical study of the Nonlinear Quadratic Optimal Control implementation
Authors: György Katalin 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
In this brief, I study the finite and infinite nonlinear discrete time optimal control. The quadratic control problem for nonlinear case can be solved with different methods such as: linearization of the system model around each operation point or some different methods, where should be used an on-line parameter identification algorithm. In this paper, I study some properties of these algorithms in order to improve the control efficiency of the nonlinear process control. In this paper, I supposed the all states are accessible, so there is not necessary any state estimation algorithm for the implementation of the proposed optimal control (LQR - Linear Quadratic Regulators) methods.

Interpretation of Gamma Index for Quality Assurance of Simultaneously Integrated Boost (SIB) IMRT Plans for Head and Neck Carcinoma
Authors: Atiq Maria , Atiq Atia , Iqbal Khalid , Shamsi Quratul ain , Andleeb Farah , Buzdar Saeed Ahmad 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Objective: The Gamma Index is prerequisite to estimate point-by-point difference between measured and calculated dose distribution in terms of both Distance to Agreement (DTA) and Dose Difference (DD). This study aims to inquire what percentage of pixels passing a certain criteria assure a good quality plan and suggest gamma index as efficient mechanism for dose verification of Simultaneous Integrated Boost Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy plans.
Method: In this study, dose was calculated for 14 head and neck patients and IMRT Quality Assurance was performed with portal dosimetry using the Eclipse treatment planning system. Eclipse software has a Gamma analysis function to compare measured and calculated dose distribution. Plans of this study were deemed acceptable when passing rate was 95% using tolerance for Distance to agreement (DTA) as 3mm and Dose Difference (DD) as 5%.
Result and Conclusion: Thirteen cases pass tolerance criteria of 95% set by our institution. Confidence Limit for DD is 9.3% and for gamma criteria our local CL came out to be 2.0% (i.e., 98.0% passing). Lack of correlation was found between DD and γ passing rate with R2 of 0.0509. Our findings underline the importance of gamma analysis method to predict the quality of dose calculation. Passing rate of 95% is achieved in 93% of cases which is adequate level of accuracy for analyzed plans thus assuring the robustness of SIB IMRT treatment technique. This study can be extended to investigate gamma criteria of 5%/3mm for different tumor localities and to explore confidence limit on target volumes of small extent and simple geometry.

Published: December 2017

AbstractSamarium niobate SmNbO4(SNO) and tantalate SmTaO4(STO) thin films (~100 nm) were prepared by sol-gel/spin-coating process on alumina substrates with PZT interlayer and annealing at 1000°C. The precursors of films were synthesized using Nb or Ta tartrate complexes. The improvement of the crystallinity of monoclinic M′-SmTaO4phase via heating was observed through the coexistence of small amounts of tetragonal T-SmTa7O19phase in STO precursor at 1000°C. The XRD results of SNO and STO films confirmed monoclinic M-SmNbO4and M′-SmTaO4phases, respectively, with traces of orthorhombic O-SmNbO4(in SNO). In STO film, the single monoclinic M′-SmTaO4phase was revealed. The surface morphology and topography of thin films were investigated by SEM and AFM analysis. STO film was smoother with roughness 3.2 nm in comparison with SNO (6.3 nm). In the microstructure of SNO film, small spherical (~50 nm) and larger cuboidal particles (~100 nm) of the SmNbO4phase were observed. In STO, compact clusters composed of fine spherical SmTaO4particles (~20-50 nm) were found. Effect of samarium can contribute to the formation different polymorphs of these films for the application to environmental electrolytic thin film devices.

AbstractThis paper deals with the ways of categorising landscapes as ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ using a physicalist approach, where these terms have special meaning. The aim of this paper is to elaborate on the question whether such a division is still meaningful with regard to anthropogenic landscapes, not least in spatial planning. The concerns raised in this paper depart from the increasingly complicated structure of geographical space, including that of anthropogenic landscapes. Our standpoint is illustrated using cases of landscape ambiguities from Poland, Germany, Romania and Greece. Leaning on frameworks of physicalist (mechanicistic) theory, this paper suggests an explanation to the outlined semantic conflicts. This is done by pointing to the relationality between the impact of centripetal and centrifugal forces, the specifics of socio-economic development, as well as the varying landscape forms that emerge from the differences within that development.
Poverty risk trend in Slovakia: Changes in time and space
Authors: Michálek Anton 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Poverty is a serious problem in Slovakia, and it is concentrated in a few regions. The aim of this paper is to capture the spatial differences in poverty in order to identify the poorest districts and to point to the change in the development of poverty in regions during one decade (2001–2011). It was an important period, because it was when Slovakia joined the EU (2004) and the euro zone (2009), that the financial crisis appeared. Our approach to the topic of poverty is based on an aggregated poverty indicator. The indicator reflects three kinds of risks and a broad spectrum of poverty aspects.
Innovations and networking fostering tourist destination development in Slovakia
Authors: Gajdošík Tomáš , Gajdošíková Zuzana , Maráková Vanda , Borseková Kamila 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The paper focuses on the implementation of innovations and networking in the sector of tourism in two Slovak mountain destinations of international significance. The main objective of the paper is to identify and evaluate how innovations and networking contribute to tourist destination development in Slovakia. The implementation of institutional innovation resulted in the establishment of formal and informal networks. The developed networks consist of representatives of all sectors co-ordinating all relevant stakeholders. Formal and informal networks and the collaboration among stakeholders have launched other types of innovations in the tourism sector. The interactions and intensity of relations among stakeholders are analysed by network analysis. Destinations are compared with the network of the same size and density through quantitative network characteristics. Based on empirical research we investigate the impact of networks and innovations on tourist destination development. Due to the synergy effect of networking and implementation of multiple innovations, tourist destination development is observed.

Authors: Macía Arce Xosé Carlos , Lois González Rubén Camilo , Rodríguez Lestegás Francisco , Armas Quintá Francisco Xosé 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article provides the results of classroom research involving university students training to be secondary school teachers of geography and history. The research is based on the analysis of a word association test on Europe and the European Union. The results constitute an approach to the geographical and historical representations these students have of their own European continent. This is a fundamental question considering that this collective group is training to teach the contents and values of European geography in secondary school education. From here on, our intention is no other than to carry out an exercise of synthesis and overall reflection on the test results and introduce issues which could generate some debate in the educational community.
Review and summary of red-footed falcon (Falco vespertinus) observations during migration periods in Slovakia
Authors: Noga Michal , Vadel Luboš , Slobodník Roman 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The red-footed falcon (Falco vespertinus) migrates throughout the territory of Slovakia regularly, though it rarely breeds here. In the present paper we have reviewed and summarised its observations between the years 1905–2016, focusing on the spring and autumn migration periods and its occurrence outside the breeding season. In total, we have gathered the data on 799 observations of 3,717 individuals. Considering the unsystematic data collection, the data should be taken with caution and may rather serve for information purposes only. However, they provide useful basic items of information regarding the species’ seasonal dynamics in Slovakia and its phenology, and document the evident increase in the number of individuals observed since 2014.
Entertainment and the Nostalgia of Values
Authors: Visarion Alexa 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Whether we talk of Stanislavski’s theatre of living, or Meyerhold’s biomechanics (through which the eccentric actor can respond to the most unexpected emotional or physical requests), or Brecht’s theatre of alienation of representation, or psychological theatre, which pays attention to the character’s conduct, inspired by some of the discoveries of American behaviourists, in all these instances there is a certain common essential point, which, of course, is directly reached through nothing other than the false or truthful image of the contemporary man on the living stage. I believe that great achievements in acting are beyond the split between emotion and idea, or the illusory antagonism of conscious and unconscious, intelligence and sensitivity.
Stage Direction in Romania. The Postdramatic Perspective
Authors: Badea Gelu 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The last fifty years of theatre have put us closer to one of the most spectacular facts of this art: every generation of theatre makers managed – we do not know if programmatically – to build its own repertoire based on its own reality. In other words, every new wave of stage directors claimed that the dramatic authors define a new formula for the stage text and the reverse. This new reality also acted on a revisiting of the classical text or of the modern text deemed classical.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Amino-functionalized CoFe2O4@SiO2 nanoparticles have been used as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of 2,4-diamino-6-arylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives by the one-pot reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and guanidine hydrochloride under conventional heating, microwave, and ultrasound irradiations. This method provides several advantages including mild reaction conditions, the reusability of the catalyst and low catalyst loading, and the use of microwave and ultrasonic irradiation as a valuable and powerful tool.
