The author offers an associative experiment as an effective means for identifying the psychologically relevant content of the word and its specificity in various languages. The comparative study of lexical units is usually based on explanatory dictionaries, which cannot fix the dynamics of language units connected to the oral activity of individuals. The author theoretically justifies the identification of a set of features of association, which make it possible to effectively compare the structure and content of associative fields of different words and languages. It is highlighted in the article that it is important to interpret the relation between stimulus and reaction, rather than the content of a particular associate. It allows us to offer fundamentally different parameters for creating associative fields of compared languages. The field is based now only on frequency of associates. The "stimulus – reaction" relation that is regarded as a verbal action makes it possible to actualize the motive of the verbal action in the semantics of associates. This allows us to clarify methods of identifying the personal meaning represented by the associate and to find out dominant features of the association that may become the basis for determining the semantic difference between meanings. The author sets parameters by which one can estimate how the meaning of a word of the compared languages changes. The parameters help to define: a decrease in the number of actualized semantic signs in different zones of the associative field; reduction of the diversity of reactions and the number of single reactions in the associative fields; the prevalence of the number of conceptual and operational reactions over emotionally evaluative reactions and reactions-conceptions; a decrease in the number of metaphorical and nationally specific or culturally significant reactions; changing of the positive connotation of a lexeme to neutral and negative; the number of rejections (in percentage correlation with the total set of associates).

The Comparative Study

The paper aimed to ascertain the possibility of using the chemometric (discriminant) method when analyzing the results of mid-range IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for a comparative study of heroin to establish a common source of origin. The advantage of this method of comparative research in comparison to the existing ones is the reduction in the time for obtaining the result, the clarity and automation of the comparison process, which is essential for the comparative study of a large number of objects and the keeping of the corresponding type of forensic accounting. The paper shows that the results obtained by chemometric processing of data from two non-correlating analysis methods (IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) coincided.

The Comparative Study

The past decade has witnessed a rapid, but uneven, growth in comparative studies. While certain types of political systems have received the lion's share of attention, others have remained backwaters of comparative research, experiencing little or no development in the application of comparative techniques. The comparative study of communist states, until recently, fell into the latter category—relatively neglected and certainly not enjoying the reputation and prestige of work with newly emerging nations or Western political systems.Now this state of affairs is undergoing a change, or at least the promise of one. In the past several years, the possibility of developing comparative techniques in the study of communist political systems has become the object of growing interest and has provoked not a little discussion and debate.1The opportunities and the problems that face this field—especially in developing empirically oriented comparative analysis—are the subject of the present article.

National Borders

This chapter explains that the comparison of legal phenomena has always implied, alongside a synchronic and spatial juxtaposition, a certain relevance of the time factor. Here, the comparative method sought to develop a more complex and multi-faceted interpretation of the law, free from the constraints of national borders and sovereign states. It intended to reveal complexity, and to draw different legal experiences closer together. In so doing, it necessarily embraced the dimension of change and diversity. The comparative method and the historical method are thus rarely seen as antithetical; more often than not, the two approaches are jointly applied in an investigation that seeks to combine the synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The chapter reveals, however, that the dialogue between history and comparison was far from straightforward. At no time was the diachronic perspective pre-eminent, or capable of absorbing and guiding the comparative study. It rather limited itself to playing an essentially secondary, subservient role.

Level Of Analysis

Over the last 20 years or so the comparative study of health policy and services has become a well-established field of research. However, over this same period, health policy and services themselves have undergone significant transformations, and this has changed the business of comparison itself. Comparisons have become more diverse in terms of geographical and substantive scope, in the inclusion of practice in addition to policy, and at the level of analysis with greater interest for sub-national levels. This transformation results in a range of challenges related to ensuring comparability, to comparing beyond the nation-state and to finding appropriate data for comparison. Importantly, although the challenges are not necessarily greater now, they are different ones. Also, as this monograph issue demonstrates, the appeal of a comparative perspective remains strong as does the richness of insights offered.

The Comparative Study

The comparative study of empathy should be based on the developmental taxonomy of vicarious experiences offered by the abundant literature on infants and children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. Comparative research on the topic should refer to the various kinds of empathy emerging in an orderly fashion early in human development.

Wind Induced Vibration

In this paper, the comparative study of RWIV will be proceeding. Aim at the model of rivulet, a kind of sine function is accepted, and another kind of rivulet model is established on the basis of analysis on the stress of the rivulet. Aim at the model of cable’s initial curve under gravity, a kind of parabolic function is accepted, and another kind of model accepted as a catenary. Then, solve the equations of cable and the rivulet jointly by numerical method, get the characteristics of motion of the cable and rivulet, then investigate the factors which is related with the model. The influence of the different model of cable is very little when the rivulet model is assumed as a sine function. However, the influence of the different model of cable is large when the rivulet model is established on the basis of analysis on the stress. Then discover the catenary cable with moving rivulet is more rational with the field observation.

The Comparative Study

Abstract: This research is a comparative literary study that uses Malay and Javanese versions of Mahabarata text sources. The research objects used were the text edition of Pandhawa Gubah (PG) by Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto and the text of Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) by Khalid Hussain. The research method used is descriptive-analysis method. In the comparative study used a comparative literary theory proposed by Endraswara (2011). The results of the text comparison reveal the similarities and differences in the image of Bima figures in the Javanese and Malay versions. The equation as a whole is that both texts contain the same heroic storyline and heroic character, Bima. In addition, Indian influence is still evident in the two texts seen from the nuances of Hinduism that exist in both texts. While the difference is seen in the events that accompany Bima's struggle in achieving his victory. Based on these similarities and differences, it can be seen that the authors attempt to represent the concept of metaphysical interactions vertically and horizontally expressed through PG text. --- Abstrak: Penelitian ini adalah satu kajian sastra bandingan yang menggunakan sumber teks Mahabarata versi Melayu dan Jawa. Objek penelitian yang digunakan adalah edisi teks Pandhawa Gubah (PG) karya Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto dan teks Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) karya Khalid Hussain. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif-analisis. Dalam telaah perbandingan digunakan teori sastra bandingan yang dikemukakan Endraswara (2011). Hasil perbandingan teks mengungkapkan adanya persamaan dan perbedaan citra tokoh Bima dalam versi Jawa maupun versi Melayu. Persamaan secara keseluruhan adalah kedua teks tersebut mengandung alur cerita kepahlawanan dan tokoh pahlawan yang sama yaitu Bima. Selain itu, pengaruh India masih tampak dalam kedua teks tersebut dilihat dari nuansa Hinduisme yang ada dalam kedua teks. Sementara perbedaannya tampak pada peristiwa-peristiwa yang menyertai perjuangan Bima dalam mencapai kemenangannya. Berdasarkan persamaan dan perbedaan tersebut tampak adanya upaya penulis untuk merepresentasikan konsep interaksi metafisik secara vertikal dan horizontal yang diungkapkan melalui teks PG.
