Time taken and time told: Serial drawing as the becoming of now
Authors: Graham Joe 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This article presents a brief report of a first-person investigation through drawing, discussing how serially developed drawing can be understood to express the becoming of now – the present moment in time. By employing a phenomenological approach, the notion that drawing expresses the becoming of now is treated as an assumption, meaning a hypothesis to be tested through practice and theory combined. This occurs as part of my developing research practice, where I look to ‘perform philosophy in a non-philosophical way’ (Emoe 2014). Rather than treat art as an object for philosophy, I use philosophy to question a thought that I, as a practitioner, believe is immanent to drawing as form of art – that drawing itself is a form of becoming, based on the intentionality underpinning the temporal experience of drawing.
I employ a largely Husserlian ([1931] 2012) approach to my research, using the methods of variational practice and ‘bracketing’ to actively suspend my assumptions for the duration of each test. Deploying it here means I stand back from my uncritical ‘lived experience’ of time to establish how phenomenological theory renders the now an aporia, or puzzle, difficult to express in conventional terms. I then use this theory to develop an alternative mode of expression through drawing, developing the now as a rhythm with a fixed temporal duration, which then ‘becomes’ a spatial extension through drawing serially developed lines. In my analysis I seek the invariant understanding – meaning I ask the series what it expresses beyond the individual variation each drawing presents. I emerge from this process better able to articulate how drawing operates, but also with some reservations, leading towards some suggestions for potential development of the research.

Published: October 2015

AbstractThis paper presents the experimental results and analysis of the behaviour of steel 1.4762 at different temperatures. Tensile mechanical properties and creep behaviour were determined using uniaxial tests. Charpy impact test was used to determine impact energies at different temperatures. The mentioned mechanical properties are displayed as engineering stress–strain diagrams while material resistance to creep is presented in the form of creep curves. Based on Charpy impact energy an assessment of fracture toughness is given. Experimental results show that the values of mechanical properties are continuously decreased by increasing the temperature. After the temperature of 623 K (tensile strength: 468 MPa; yield strength: 298 MPa) the decrease of the ultimate strength and yield strength is especially emphasized and the difference between them becomes smaller. The creep resistance is considered quite small, except at low stress levels.
Ajāʾib ve gharāʾib: Ottoman Collections of Mirabilia and Perceptions of the Supernatural
Authors: Sariyannis Marinos 
Published: October 2015

Abstract:There is no word for the ‘supernatural’ in classical Ottoman, and one could argue that even the very notion is absent, as the notion of ‘nature’ is very near to that of ‘God’, and (as the latter is omnipotent) there is no extraordinary event that cannot be potentially true. The Ottomans would rather speak of the ‘marvelous’ or the ‘extraordinary’, which as mental categories played a major role in the medieval imagination both in East and West. As defined by al-Qazwīnī (1203–1283), author of a very well-known collection of
A New Wavelength Optimization and Energy-Saving Scheme Based on Network Coding in Software-Defined WDM-PON Networks
Authors: Ren Danping , Wu Shanshan , Zhang Lijing 
Published: October 2015

AbstractIn view of the characteristics of the global control and flexible monitor of software-defined networks (SDN), we proposes a new optical access network architecture dedicated to Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) systems based on SDN. The network coding (NC) technology is also applied into this architecture to enhance the utilization of wavelength resource and reduce the costs of light source. Simulation results show that this scheme can optimize the throughput of the WDM-PON network, greatly reduce the system time delay and energy consumption.
Towards a lexicographic account of GIRL: forms, meanings and values
Authors: Łozowski Przemysław 
Published: October 2015

Summary
Lexicography is basically concerned with the meaning and use of words. In recent times, lexicographers have investigated not only the meanings of words in their mutual systemic relations (e.g., synonymy, antonymy, hoponymy etc.), but modern lexicographic research has extended its interest into the area of studying the way words are used and, in particular, how lexical associations are used and how various meanings linked to individual lexical items are reflected in the areas of their word-formation; phraseological and paremiological productivity of lexicography is, therefore, directly connected to phraseology because the target of both disciplines is to investigate sets of fixed expressions (idioms, phrasal verbs, etc.) and other types of multi-word lexical units. This paper makes an attempt to make an in-depth lexicographic account of the lexical item girl and its productivity, as evidenced in lexicographic sources. Our sample data may provide a starting point for producing an alternative reference work for non-native learners of English.
“What is the date today?”: A dialogist perspective on expert EFL teachers’ classroom interaction
Authors: Tůma František 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This article presents a micro-analysis of an EFL classroom episode in which the teacher and the pupils worked on the concepts “date” and “day” (and relatedly saying the date in English), which the learners had not fully internalized yet. Conversation analysis (CA) and concepts from sociocultural theory (SCT) are used in the analysis to reveal how the mutual understanding proceeded. It is argued that the presented dialogist perspective can cast light on the intricacies of the teaching and learning processes.
The benefits and pitfalls of a multicultural teaching faculty and a monocultural student population: An interpretive analysis of tertiary teachers’ and students’ perceptions in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Moore-Jones P. J. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Emirati students at public universities have a wide demographic of faculty members teaching them courses in their second language, English. These faculty members bring with them their own cultural assumptions, epistemologies and use of language which at times are in stark contrast to those of the students.
The aim of the research is to shed light on the effects that a multicultural faculty have on a monocultural student body and vice versa. This study looks at both faculty and students’ perceptions of public tertiary education in the UAE. Namely, the research questions surround themes regarding the benefits and pitfalls of multiculturalism in a university environment.
Contentions are made based on qualitative data received regarding the levels of intercultural competence of both faculty and students. Noted are the importance of intercultural competence, how and why it is significant to have not only as a globalized member of a multicultural teaching faculty but how and why it is a central skill the fresh graduates must develop during their undergraduate careers.
Redefining Irishness: Fragmentation or intercultural exchange
Authors: Khalil Rania M. R. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
The traditional definition of Irishness has been overwritten by internationalization, cultural and political discourses. Globalisation today sets the ground for the redefinition of a “new Ireland” altering the ethnocultural base to the definitions of Irish national identity. Recent cultural criticism on modern Irish studies have described the Irish nation as undergoing moments of crisis and instability within a global context. This paper explores and analyzes the process by which literary dramatic works dealing with Irish national distinctiveness have been put subject to being written and re-written as the Irish nation passes through periods of instabilities and problematisations. Ireland has been affected by conflicting narratives and needed to move “towards a new configuration of identities” (Kearney, 1997, p. 15). Edward W. Said comments on this fracturing of identity as “human reality is constantly being made and unmade” (1979, p. 33). The attempt Irish playwrights have made to address factors affecting Irishness and the violent assertion of national identity addressed in this paper, are considered within a post-nationalist and post-colonial context of dramatic works.
Governing Mining Resources in the History of Colombia: Between Official Institutions and Resistance
Authors: Álvarez Juan Diego 
Published: October 2015

AbstractThe article analyzes the history of mining in Colombia from an institutional perspective. Since colonial times the official order established formal institutions to govern the mining resources, institutions that, for the most part, created an exclusive and extractive system that became a historical constant. However, local agents did not passively receive those official institutions and in consequence have established parallel systems of management of mining resources based on community authorities and experiences. Therefore, the history of mining activity in Colombia has been the one created by the interaction and collision of those different legal orders. The interaction of those legal orders have been particularly tense in the last couple of decades due to the increased pressure that local territories are experiencing, a socio-economic dynamic that has triggered a complex socio-environmental conflict that is defining not only the areas in which mining is taking place, but also rural areas in general. The official legal system lacks the categories to solve the conflicts and to understand the regulatory complexity that characterizes those resource rich areas. In consequence, the article closes with a call to explore legal pluralism as an alternative framework capable of decoding the regulatory diversity seen in Colombian mining areas, as well as a first step to start organizing the multiple legal orders operating on the ground in these complex social areas.
Meaning change in a petri dish: constructions, semantic vector spaces, and motion charts
Authors: Hilpert Martin , Perek Florent 
Published: October 2015

AbstractThis paper explores how the visualization tool of motion charts can be used for the analysis of meaning change in linguistic constructions. In previous work, linguistic motion charts have been used to represent diachronic frequency trends and changes in the morphosyntactic behavior of linguistic units. The present paper builds on that work, but it shifts the focus to the study of semantic change. How can motion charts be used to visualize semantic change over time? In order to answer this question, we draw on semantic vector space modeling to visualize aspects of linguistic meaning. As an analogy to this approach, the title of this paper alludes to a petri dish in which the growth and development of biological microorganisms can be observed. On the basis of diachronic corpus data, we monitor developments in the semantic ecology of a construction. This allows us to observe processes such as semantic broadening, semantic narrowing, or semantic shift. We illustrate our approach on the basis of a case study that investigates the diachrony of an English construction that we call the ‘many a NOUN’ construction.
A Note on Saturated Models for Many-Valued Logics
Authors: Flaminio Tommaso , Bianchi Matteo 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
In this short paper we will discuss on saturated and κ-saturated models of many-valued (t-norm based fuzzy) logics. Using these peculiar structures we show a representation theorem à la Di Nola for several classes of algebras including MV, Gödel, product, BL, NM and WNM-algebras. Then, still using (κ)-saturated algebras, we finally show that some relevant subclasses of algebras related to many-valued logics also enjoy the joint embedding property and the amalgamation property.
ℍ-Perfect Pseudo MV-Algebras and Their Representations
Authors: Dvurečenskij Anatolij 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
We study ℍ-perfect pseudo MV-algebras, that is, algebras which can be split into a system of ordered slices indexed by the elements of an subgroup ℍ of the group of the real numbers. We show when they can be represented as a lexicographic product of ℍ with some ℓ-group. In addition, we show also a categorical equivalence of this category with the category of ℓ-groups.
The Long History of Lutheranism in Scandinavia. From State Religion to the People’s Church
Authors: Markkola Pirjo 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
As the main religion of Finland, but also of entire Scandinavia, Lutheranism has a centuries-long history. Until 1809 Finland formed the eastern part of the Swedish Kingdom, from 1809 to 1917 it was a Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire, and in 1917 Finland gained independence. In the 1520s the Lutheran Reformation reached the Swedish realm and gradually Lutheranism was made the state religion in Sweden. In the 19th century the Emperor in Russia recognized the official Lutheran confession and the status of the Lutheran Church as a state church in Finland. In the 20th century Lutheran church leaders preferred to use the concept people’s church. The Lutheran Church is still the majority church. In the beginning of 2015, some 74 percent of all Finns were members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. In this issue of Perichoresis, Finnish historians interested in the role of church and Christian faith in society look at the religious history of Finland and Scandinavia. The articles are mainly organized in chronological order, starting from the early modern period and covering several centuries until the late 20th century and the building of the welfare state in Finland. This introductory article gives a brief overview of state-church relations in Finland and presents the overall theme of this issue focusing on Finnish Lutheranism. Our studies suggest that 16th and early 17th century Finland may not have been quite so devoutly Lutheran as is commonly claimed, and that late 20th century Finland may have been more Lutheran than is commonly realized.

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Aiming at the non-linearity of state equation and observation equation of SSP (Siemen Schottel Propulsor) propulsion motor, an improved particle filter algorithm based on strong tracking extent Kalman filter (ST-EKF) was presented, and it was imported into the marine SSP propulsion motor control system. The strong tracking filter was used to update particles in the new algorithm and produce importance densities. As a result, the problems of particle degeneracy and sample impoverishment were ameliorated, the propulsion motor states and the rotor resistance were estimated simultaneously using strong track filter (STF), and the tracking ability of marine SSP propulsion motor control system was improved. Simulation result shown that the improved EPF algorithm was not only improving the prediction accuracy of the motor states and the rotor resistance, but also it can satisfy the requirement of navigation in harbor. It had the better accuracy than EPF algorithm.
Research on Deep Joints and Lode Extension Based on Digital Borehole Camera Technology
Authors: Han Zengqiang , Wang Chuanying , Zhu Hengyin 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Structure characteristics of rock and orebody in deep borehole are obtained by borehole camera technology. By investigating on the joints and fissures in Shapinggou molybdenum mine, the dominant orientation of joint fissure in surrounding rock and orebody were statistically analyzed. Applying the theory of metallogeny and geostatistics, the relationship between joint fissure and lode’s extension direction is explored. The results indicate that joints in the orebody of ZK61borehole have only one dominant orientation SE126° ∠68°, however, the dominant orientations of joints in surrounding rock were SE118° ∠73°, SW225° ∠70° and SE122° ∠65°, NE79° ∠63°. Then a preliminary conclusion showed that the lode’s extension direction is specific and it is influenced by joints of surrounding rock. Results of other boreholes are generally agree well with the ZK61, suggesting the analysis reliably reflects the lode’s extension properties and the conclusion presents important references for deep ore prospecting.

Numerical Modeling of Hydrodynamic and Sediment Siltation Due to Typhoon in Estuary Channel Regulation
Authors: Zhao Hongbo , Zhang Qinghe , Xie Mingxiao 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Oujiang Estuary is a complex tidal estuary with many channels and shoals in the East China Sea, which was affected by typhoon frequently. The navigation channel of Wenzhou Port is located in the north branch of Oujiang Estuary, which happened serious sediment siltation in many times due to typhoon impact. The regulation is considered to decrease siltaion of the channel and protect shoals as well. According to the site survey data, the mathematic model is established and validated, which simulates the hydrodynamic, sediment transport and channel siltation due to typhoon in Oujiang Estuary. The channel regulation scenario is studied by the model simulation after analysis of the silation character. It indicates that the high concentration sediment from shoals north of channel is main sediment source caused siltation in the channel, which can be prevented into the channel by the regulation scenario and decrease siltation efficiently.
Numerical Research of the Viscous Effect of the Bilge Keel on the Damping Moment
Authors: Deng Rui , Duan Wenyang , Ma Shan , Ma Yong 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
Bilge keels are effective passive devices in mitigating the rolling motion, and the usage of them covers almost all the sea going vessels. This paper focuses on the viscous effect of the bilge keel, ignored the effect of the free surface and the effect of the ship hull, for the general viscous characteristic of the bilge keel. In order to investigate the viscous effect of the bilge keel on the total damping moment, a special 2 dimensional numerical model, which includes a submerged cylinder with and without bilge keels, is designed for the simulation of forced rolling. Three important factors such as bilge keels width, rolling periods, as well as maximal rolling angles are taken into account, and the viscous flow field around the cylinder is simulated by some codes based on the viscous method in different conditions, in which the three factors are coupled. Verification and validation based on the ITTC method are performed for the cylinder without bilge keels in the conditions of different rolling periods and maximal rolling angles. The primary calculation of damping moment induced by the cylinder with 0mm, 4mm, and 10mm width bilge keels shows some interesting results, and a systematic analysis is conducted. The analysis of the damping moment components suggests there is phase difference between the damping moment induced by the cylinder and the bilge keels, and when the bilge keels width reaches a special size, the total damping moment is mitigated. The calculation of the damping moments induced by the cylinder with some larger bilge keels are also performed, and the results suggest that, the damping moment induced by the bilge keels is increased rapidly and becomes the dominant part in the total damping moment while the width of the bilge keels are increased, but the damping moment induced by the cylinder is not changed significantly. Some illustration of the vortices formation and shedding is included, which is the mechanism of the damping moment caused by the bilge keels. The present work shows an interesting problem, and it is useful for the bilge keel design.

Published: October 2015

Abstract

Introduction. The associations of drugs that may interact with the statins resulting in elevated serum concentration of the statins are an important risk factor for statin induced muscle disorders. We aimed to determine the prevalence of these associations in all hospitalized patients that had been prescribed statins before/during hospitalization and to find out how often they are associated with muscle-related side effects.

Methods. This prospective, non-interventional study performed in two internal medicine departments included patients with statin therapy before/during hospitalization. Data on each patient demographic characteristics, co-morbidities and treatment was collected from medical charts and interviews. We evaluated patients’ therapy for the targeted associations using Thomson Micromedex Drug Interactions checker and we ranked the identified drug-drug interactions (DDIs) accordingly. Each patient with statin treatment before admission was additionally interviewed in order to identify muscular symptoms.

Results. In 109 patients on statin treatment we found 35 potential (p) DDIs of statins in 30 (27.5%) patients, most of which were in the therapy before admission (27 pDDIs). The pDDIs were moderate (20 pDDIs) and major (15 pDDIs). Of the total number of pDDIs, 24 were targeting the muscular system. The drugs most frequently involved in the statins’ pDDIs were amiodarone and fenofibrate. Two of the patients with pDDIs reported muscle pain, both having additional risk factors for statin induced muscular effects.

Conclusion. The prevalence of statins’ pDDIs was high in our study, mostly in the therapy before admission, with only a small number of pDDIs resulting in clinical outcome.

Abstract
A 42-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for planning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT). He was diagnosed as multiple myeloma (IgG type Kappa) in 2003. His physical examination was normal with no important abnormality on laboratory evaluation. Chest radiography performed for routine evaluation prior to transplantation revealed a large, well-defined mass, that had obtuse angles with the chest wall consistent with extraparenchymal lesion superposed on second and third ribs. Also, there were multiple bony structures demonstrating changes of destructive effects of multiple myeloma. Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy was obtained from the mass by transthoracic fine-needle aspiration (FNAB) method. Biopsy was reported as extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) contrary to our expectation of multiple myeloma.
