Published: November 2017

AbstractEvaluation of seismic signals is one of the most important research topics on Volcanology. Volcanoes have daily activity; therefore, high speed evaluation of recorded signals is a challenge for improving the study of the natural phenomena occurring inside these natural formations. The aim of this paper is the evaluation (denoising, localization and classification) and analysis of Llaima volcano activities, one of the most actives volcanoes in South America. Different already proposed methods, such as, Butterworth, Spectral Subtraction (SS) and Wiener Filter (WF) are compared to the proposed Modified Spectral Subtraction (MSS) and Modified Wiener Filter (MWF) to find the best method for denoising the volcano signals. Then, event localization based on received signals of volcano is performed. In this step, Time Delay Estimation (TDE)-based method is used on data acquired from 3 mechanical sensors located in the volcano area. The proposed method is used to estimate the area for event location. The proposed denoising methods make the starting point for the event more evident to increase the localization accuracy for events where the starting point is difficult to find. In the last step, a method based on the novel DNN technique is proposed to classify the three main events occurring in the Llaima volcano (TR (Tremor), LP (Long Period) and VT (Volcano Tectonic)).
Reactive power in circuits with sampled resistive load
Authors: Stork Milan , Mayer Daniel 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The process of power transmission lines, from source to load is a well-known, if the voltages and currents vary harmonically. With the lines is transmitted active power that is dissipated in load (this power exits from the system) and reactive power (this power oscillates between the source and the load). Note that it would be more appropriate designation the external power and the internal power. Such systems are known as cyclo-dissipative. The active power is dissipated in the load and the reactive power oscillates between the source and the load. Physically, reactive power is delivered to reactive elements of load. Transmitting reactive power increases Joule’s losses and voltage drops on lines. Reactive power can be compensated in a known manner. Compensation reduces the effective value of the current in the line. To the case of periodic but non-sinusoidal voltages and currents has been devoted many publications, conferences, etc. during the past 100 years. But despite much e ort, this problem has not yet been fully solved. In the present article, we show that in a system with a harmonic source of voltage even in the case of a linear pure resistive load a reactive power can be generated and can be compensated. A necessary, but not sufficient, condition is that the resistive load is time-varying. The presented study deals with a periodically sampled resistive load.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
We report an improvement of the artificial neural network (ANN) modelling of a piezoelectric actuator vibration based on the experimental data. The controlled vibrations of an actuator were obtained by utilizing the swept-sine signal excitation. The peak value in the displacement signal response was measured by a laser displacement sensor. The piezoelectric actuator was modelled in both linear and nonlinear operating range. A consistency from 90.3 up to 98.9% of ANN modelled output values and experimental ones was reached. The obtained results clearly demonstrate exact linear relationship between the ANN model and experimental values.
A Faster Kind of Photojournalism?
Authors: Nilsson Maria 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This article examines factors influencing the editorial processing of photographs, the impact of photojournalistic practices on those processes as well as perceptions of images. Perspectives on visual gatekeeping and the news value of photographs were applied to a newsroom and interview study with a specific focus on photographs for the main news section of a Swedish newspaper. Findings identified routines, publication formats and resources as key factors, with some challenges posed by mobile publication formats and a focus on routine news. Photo editors were found to have a key function asserting expertise in a shared and interactive process. Yet changing routines and a reduced visual expertise on weekends were found to result in some lower image quality. While the ‘observed moment’ appeared to remain a photojournalistic ideal among visual gatekeepers, there were divergent perceptions found of the current and future functions of the news photograph.
Crisis, What Crisis?
Authors: Simonsen Anne Hege , Evensen Jon Petter 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
As in most countries, Norwegian and Danish media houses struggle to adjust to new technological, economic and political realities. Photo departments have seen their budgets cut and people have been let go. It looks, however, as if the organisational response to the crisis is more nuanced than it may seem at first glance. We have examined three media organisations, with a reputation for an above average interest in photojournalism, through the filter of organisational psychology. By looking at the conjunction between organisational culture, the present climate, and what we may call visual editorial competence, which relates to a photo department’s relative power within the organisation, we try to shed some light on when and why photo departments are able to implement their own crisis management and thus influence their own situation. Our findings suggest that photo departments with a strong culture are more resilient to a climate marked by disruptive change. The overall visual editorial competence does, however, impact their manoeuvring space within the organisation.
Editorial: „Special Focus on Holm Tetens’s ‚Thinking God‘ (‚Gott denken‘)“
Authors: Brüntrup Godehard 
Published: November 2017

SummaryIn Germany, Holm Tetens is an influential analytic philosopher of science, mind, and logic. For many years he had been arguing within the widely accepted framework of naturalism and atheism. It came, to put it mildly, as a surprise to the entire philosophical community in Germany when he published a book defending theism in 2015. In this book “Thinking God” he claims that physicalism is an incomplete account of reality, because the mental and ideal realm cannot be reduced to the physical realm. As an alternative, he develops a version of theistic idealism which stands in the tradition of “panentheism”. Human subjectivity is fully embedded into the all-encompassing divine subjectivity. In dealing with the problem of theodicy, he then argues that the hope for eternal life and salvation by a supremely good being makes life more meaningful, esp. because it offers a prospect for justice to the countless victims of history. To Tetens, the worldview of naturalism and the worldview of theistic idealism are on the one hand both equally rational and defensible. On the other hand, both cannot be defeated by knock-down arguments. In closing, he urges his peers in philosophy to take the question of God seriously again. Shortly after the publication of the book, the Catholic Academy of Bavaria and the Munich School of Philosophy jointly organized an international master class on Tetens’s views which was taught by himself. The papers published in this issue grew out of this master class. For each paper by a young scholar there is also a reply by Tetens. The following editorial addresses specifically the German-speaking audience. It was thus not translated into English. All original papers discussing Tetens’s views and his replies to these, however, were written in English for the sake of reaching a larger worldwide readership.
God as Creator of Natural Laws: On the Relation of the Absolute and the Contingent World
Authors: Müller Tobias 
Published: November 2017

SummaryIn his essay on rational theology Holm Tetens broaches the issue of God’s role as creator and additionally addresses the relationship of the absolute to the contingent world in a philosophical perspective. By making this a topic, the question arises as to whether or not God’s creative activities are limited by the laws of nature. According to Tetens, God as the infinite self-conscious subject must not just considered as free from all restrictions concerning his creative activities, but rather, characterized as the absolute, he must be thought of as the ultimate ground of all beings, and therefore also as the creator of natural laws. In this article I will give a brief sketch of how this task could be tackled in philosophical terms. In doing so I will both pick up some of Tetens’ main intentions and concepts and try to explore them in some detail, as well as attempt to link them with the principle of determinacy as the main characteristic of the absolute.
Current practice in paediatric basic life support
Authors: Heczková Jana , Bulava Alan 
Published: November 2017

Abstract

Introduction. Although the incidence of cardiac arrest in children is much lower than in adults, the condition is still considered a major health problem with a very low chance for survival. As in adults, the timely provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in children is crucial. Current guidelines for CPR in children were published along with the guidelines for CPR in adults in 2015. As in previous years, they are based on consensus provided by International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Guidelines of particular ILCOR member councils may vary and reflect regional characteristic such as different access to health care, education methods or willingness of population to provide emergency assistance. Moreover, the conditions requiring CPR in children are characterized not only by different incidence, but also by aetiology or techniques used for different age groups. Therefore, emphasis is put on simplicity and feasibility as well as on consistency with adult guidelines to improve retention of the paediatric sequences. Nurses may be first rescuers not only in health care facilities. Better understanding of CPR guidelines might help them to improve their ability to detect conditions requiring CRP and also initiate and provide effective emergency care.

Aim. The aim of this study is to compare different approaches to paediatric CPR, in particular to basic life support (BLS), used in current guidelines of different ILCOR member councils.

Results and conclusions. General algorithm for adult CPR may be followed for victims of all age, but in case of children, slightly different approach might have much more favourable outcome.
Why Roma Children Need Language Asessments in Romani
Authors: Kyuchukov Hristo , Villiers Jill de , Tabori Andrea Takahesu 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIn this paper we make one major point: that Roma children in Europe need to be tested in their mother tongue before school placement. Roma children are in a particularly perilous position with respect to their education. We describe the problematic linguistic situation of Roma children, who are bilingual and often bidialectal, but are frequently evaluated in the language of the state for educational placement, a process that has been shown to significantly compromise their chance of success. We then review the considerable empirical evidence that bilingual children must be evaluated in both languages to give a fair assessment of their knowledge and skills. Furthermore, strength in the mother tongue has demonstrable transfer to skills in the second language. We provide a brief summary of a new assessment for Romani that has been used successfully to evaluate children aged 3 to 6 years, and present the results of a new study using it in Slovakia on 29 children aged 3 to 6 years.

Abstract
A filamentous benthic cyanobacteria, strain USMAC16, was isolated from the High Arctic Svalbard archipelago, Norway, and a combination of morphological, ultrastructural and molecular characterisation (16S rRNA gene sequence) used to identify to species level. Cell dimensions, thylakoid arrangement and apical cell shape are consistent with the Pseudanabaena genus description. The molecular characterisation of P. catenata gave 100% similarity with Pseudanabaena catenata SAG 1464-1, originally reported from Germany. Strain USMAC16 was cultured under a range of temperature and photoperiod conditions, in solid and liquid media, and harvested at exponential phase to examine its phenotypic plasticity. Under different culture conditions, we observed considerable variations in cell dimensions. The longest cell (5.91±0.13 μm) was observed at 15°C under 12:12 light:dark, and the widest cell (3.24±0.06 μm) at 4°C under 12:12 light: dark in liquid media. The study provides baseline data documenting the morphological variation of P. catenata in response to changing temperature regimes.
‘It Seems I’m Scattered by the Wind’: Liber tristium – Franciszek Pik Mirandola’s Debut Poetry Volume
Authors: Samborska-Kukuć Dorota 
Published: November 2017

Summary
Franciszek Pik Mirandola’s debut poetry volume, whose title Liber tristium (1898) was inspired by a book of elegies of the 16th-century Polish-Latin poet Ianicius, is a projection of the poet’s own psychological dilemmas in a tone of voice echoing the splenetic mode of Baudelaire and Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer. His poems are uneven; their weaknesses are hard to overlook. Yet in spite of his all too obvious dependence on the fin de siècle (and Young Poland’s) poetics and mannerisms, he manages to rise above the run-of-the-mill laments and decadent clichés. Taken as a whole, the poetry of the idiosyncratic pharmacist from Krosno has the ring of an authentic inner struggle of an alienated individual looking for some metaphysical signs that would give meaning to his life. In his search he draws on Schopenhauer and the currently fashionable Hinduistic themes, but he does it with commendable good sense. He should also be praised for his ‘aquatic’ poems, especially the sonnet cycle Nieznajomi (Strangers).
‘Hinc Habitat Regina Voluptas’: Literary Sources of Book III of Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus’ Zodiacus vitae (1536)
Authors: Drzewiecka Ewelina 
Published: November 2017

Summary
This article explores the literary sources of Book III of Zodiacus vitae, a philosophical poem by Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus. Publish in Venice in 1536, it was banned by Inquisition and condemned to oblivion in its native Italy. The infamy of the work in Italy was in stark contrast with the popularity it enjoyed in early modern Europe, including Poland. Book III (Gemini), which contains the work’s best passages, tells the story of the poet’s journey to the Garden of Lust (Voluptas), filled with a series of allegorical figures, where he was lectured on the nature of pleasure and its uses. In this way the garden is turned into Humanist locus docendi. The article tries to explain the main philospohical sources and contexts of this learned debate.
Olwid, Or the Beginnings of Polish Postcolonialism
Authors: Szewczyk-Haake Katarzyna 
Published: November 2017

Summary
This article presents a postcolonial interpretation of Olwid’s (Witold Hulewicz’s) book of poems Flame in Hand (Płomień w garści, 1921). His poetic ‘fragments’ describing the experience of the World War are remarkably similar to the poetry of German expressionism. Whereas previous critics treated this similarity as a proof of the derivative, unoriginal nature of the Poznań expressionism, this article claims that Olwid’s was a deliberate attempt to start a rapprochement between the Polish and the German culture. After decades of colonial dependence the breakthrough of 1918 the two cultures had a chance to resume a dialogue of equals with the expressionist poetics as a new footing. Hulewicz tones down the difference between the hegemon and the victim in the spirit of the expressionistic search for common humanity. To that end he also develops a new interpretation of the Polish Romantic tradition. His endeavours mark him out as a precursor of postcolonial criticism, and more specifically that type of postcolonialism which uses the emancipatory strategy as a means to the creation of a ‘truly free man’. That high goal is pursued not because of a commitment to cosmopolitanism but in the name of absolute human values.
Peculiarities of Distribution of Two Amblydromella Species (Phytoseiidae, Parasitiformes) in the Zone of Their Natural Intergradation in the Eastern Ukraine
Authors: Kolodochka L. A. , Bondarev V. Yu. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Distribution of two morphologically and ecologically related species of predatory phytoseiid mites of the genus Amblydromella (A. pirianykae and A. recki) in a zone of their natural intergradation (mountain ridge Donetsky Kriazh in the east of Ukraine) is studied for the first time. The list of plants populated by both predators is given. Consistent patterns of mite distribution on life forms of plants are determined biotopical fidelity on the basis of the coefficient. Very rarely, A. pirianykae and A. recki mites simultaneously populate the same plant organism (only 1.6 % of all samples) which can be attributed to the partially resolved antagonistic relationships. Th e basis of the antagonism is, in the first place, similarity of food preferences of the predators that, in principle, occupy the same ecological niche. Dramatic finale of this confrontation is the elimination of one of the species which has no distinct advantage in the specific conditions of a local microhabitat.
ÖPP – eine Linderung, keine Lösung
Authors: Puls Thomas , Schaefer Thilo 
Published: November 2017

Zusammenfassung:
In der Debatte um die Neuordnung der Bund-Länder-Finanzbeziehungen hat die Gründung der Bundesfernstraßengesellschaft einen extrem großen Raum eingenommen. Allerdings ging es in der Debatte weniger um die bestehenden Probleme und mögliche Lösungen, sondern vielmehr darum, wie eine angebliche Privatisierung der Autobahnen am wirkungsvollsten verhindert werden könne. Dabei stand eine materielle Privatisierung nie zur Diskussion, denn in Öffentlich-Privaten-Partnerschaften (ÖPP) wird die Ausführungsplanung an einen Privaten im Verbund mit der Finanzierung übergeben, wohingegen die Straße selbst in staatlichem Eigentum verbleibt. Dennoch waren einige Fraktionen bestrebt, ÖPP als Beschaffungsvariante vollständig zu streichen. Am Ende wurden das Instrument nur für Teilnetze und Streckenlängen von mehr als 100 Kilometer ausgeschlossen. Dadurch werden ÖPP jetzt aber explizit im Grundgesetz erwähnt. Die neuen Regeln schränken die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von ÖPP zwar ein, stellen aber keineswegs das Ende für das Instrument ÖPP dar. Denn weiterhin bestehen strukturelle Probleme in der Fernstraßenverwaltung, die durch den Einsatz von ÖPP gelindert werden können. Die Effizienz der konventionellen Beschaffung leidet unter diversen Vorschriften und Engpässen, was zu dem Zustand der Fernstraßen geführt hat, den wir heute beobachten können. An dieser Stelle können ÖPP ansetzen, da sie besseren und schnelleren Bau versprechen und gleichzeitig Aufgaben übernehmen können, welche die personell ausgebluteten Behörden kaum mehr leisten können. ÖPP sind also geeignet an den aktuellen Problemen anzusetzen. Dennoch bleiben ÖPP nur für bestimmte Projekte geeignet und die konventionelle Beschaffung wird die Norm bleiben.
Die politische Ökonomie deutscher Landkreise: Determinanten der Verschuldung
Authors: Boll David , Sidki Marcus 
Published: November 2017

Zusammenfassung:
Die kommunale Verschuldungssituation in Deutschland, insbesondere der starke und asymmetrische Anstieg in kurzfristigen Kassenkrediten in den letzten Jahren, steht verstärkt im Fokus von Politik, Forschung und der Öffentlichkeit. Dies betrifft nebst den Städten und Gemeinden auch die weniger wahrgenommene Landkreisebene. Diese verfügen über einen deutlich geringeren Grad an finanzieller Autarkie. Somit werden politökonomische Einflüsse auf die Kreisfinanzen eher in den jeweiligen Landesregierungen bzw. in der politischen Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Landkreis- und Landesebene vermutet. In dieser Arbeit werden bekannte politökonomische Determinanten der Kommunen und Staaten auf die Besonderheiten der Landkreise angepasst und für alle deutschen Landkreise für die Jahre 1998 bis 2010 empirisch untersucht. Wir finden Hinweise für einen verstärkenden Einfluss von Wahlzyklen der Landesregierung auf die Kassenkreditverschuldung der Landkreise. Ferner wirkt die politische Kooperation zwischen den Landräten und dem Finanzminister eines Bundeslandes verschuldungshemmend. Ebenso finden sich schwache Hinweise für einen positiven Einfluss des Wechsels von Landesregierungen und von Finanzministern auf die Verschuldung. Im Ergebnis unterstreicht die Analyse die Rolle des Landes als Finanzausstatter der Landkreise und somit deren hohe Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Landesregierung.
Numerical Solution of Conjugate Free Convection From a Vertical Fin Embedded in a Non-Darcy Porous Medium
Authors: Kumar Vikash , Rani Abha , Singh Ajay Kumar 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The problem of conjugate free convection from a vertical fin embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium is investigated. The governing nonlinear equations are solved iteratively by a highly implicit finite difference scheme. In this paper, the results based on four models, viz the Darcy model, the Brinkman model, the non-Darcian model with nonlinear inertia and viscous terms, and also the non-Darcian model with viscous, nonlinear inertia and velocity square terms, are compared. It is seen that fin cooling is more effective at higher Grashof or Darcy numbers due to stronger convection effects. The local Nusselt number is observed to increase with the Grashof or Darcy numbers and decrease slightly with the conduction–convection parameter. The limitation of the Darcy’s law is observed at higher values of permeability when the non-Darcian models are more relevant.
