Antonomasia can not be confidently attributed to a single case of metonymy or metaphor, as antonomasia is based on whether similar or on adjacent identifying objects. In speech antonomasia is a stylistic device, namely, the conscious use of existing or creation of a new name, which is realized together with the given value and is subject-logical at the same time. This leads to the fact that the name not only identifies the object, but characterizes it differently. Depending on whether the common name is transferred to its own (that is, the basis of the new name of the own name is the subject-logical value of the existing common name) or the potential subject-logical value of the embodied name is obtained in the foreground, we distinguish two types of antonomasia. This option indicates not the primary referent of the name, but its characteristics, distinctive features. However, the reference equivalence remains, but may be gradually erased. If it completely disappears, it causes the creation of a new common name. Considering antonomasia from the position of the nomination act, we can characterize it both as a process, and as a result of nominative activity. It is also worth recognizing the difference between antonomasia that characterizes the unit of speech, i.e. its own name, which has a potential subject-logical value implemented in certain contexts, and antonomasia as a stylistic device, i.e., special use of the name in context to achieve certain pragmatic effects.

Background: Health prevention and promotion are both important in making better public health. In order to actualize both aspects, Posyandu cadre play major role. Cadre have bigger chance and impact to educate the people who are living around them. However, doing a direct education has become more difficult since physical contacts were minimalized during this COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, an effective tele-education is needed as an effort to prevent COVID-19 transmission. The study aims to evaluate the effect of tele-education through Youtube and Whatsapp to enhance people's understanding on COVID-19 transmission prevention Method: The study was a cross-sectional study with observational descriptive-analytical methods and quantitatively approach. Subject of the study was Posyandu cadre in Burangrang Village, Lengkong District, Bandung with the subject total was 19. Results: After given a tele-education, there was an increase in total score means between pretest and posttest with p=0.000 (p<0.001). Moreover, there were increases in both social media’s impression and engagement on educational video which was uploaded on Youtube. Discussion: In doing tele education to Posyandu cadre, video as a media to deliver the content was more preferred. Sharing the knowledge through video along with evaluating participants' understanding of the given topics could enhance cadre knowledge about handwashing as a prevention in the middle of COVID-19 outbreak. Conclusion: Tele education using video could enhance cadre’s understanding about handwashing. The media that has been used was able to deliver the content based on impression and engagement evaluations.

Aim:The article has been selected due to the need to determine the legal basis for the consolidation of entrepreneurs on the pharmaceutical market and to identify the difference from the common pattern established by the regulations set forth in the Competition and Consumer Protection Act dated 16 February 2007. The selection of an enactment (the Competition and Consumer Protection Act or the Pharmaceutical Law Act) as the appropriate basis for ruling shapes the legal status of an entrepreneur on the pharmaceutical market, in particular with respect to selecting specific remedies. Design / Research methods:The text of enactments was analyzed using mainly the linguistic method. The aim of the analyzed regulations and the system of values protected by law were also investigated. Conclusions / findings:The regulations concerning anti-competition consolidation on the pharmaceutical market set forth in the Pharmaceutical Law Acta are lex specialis with respect to solutions adopted in the Competition and Consumer Protection Act (this applies only to issuing a permit for running a retail pharmacy and a limited service pharmacy). These regulations are related with respect to content but, simultaneously, they differ with respect to the adopted consolidation criteria (qualitative criterion: the Competition and Consumer Protection Act, and quantitative criterion: the Pharmaceutical Law Act). The regulations set forth in the Competition and Consumer Protection Act apply also to consolidation on the pharmaceutical market since the obligation to report a consolidation intent is not specific to the industry in which the consolidation takes place. It means that President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection is competent to study the consolidation status and issue decisions related to consolidation on the pharmaceutical market, and entrepreneurs can appeal from the President’s decisions to the Regional Court in Warsaw. Originality / value of the article:The approach presented is not present in the current literature which is the main value of the article. The subject matter of the article can be interesting for entrepreneurs present on the pharmaceutical market and law practitioners.

The notion of distinctive features has had a firm position in phonology since the time of the Prague Linguistic Circle and especially that of one of its representatives, Roman Jakobson, whose well-known delimitation of a phoneme as “a bundle of distinctive features” (Jakobson, 1962, p. 421), that is, a set of simultaneous distinctive features, has inspired many scholars. Jakobson’s attempt “to analyse the distribution of distinctive features along two axes: that of simultaneity and that of successiveness” (ibid., p. 435) helped cover several phonetic and/or phonological processes and phenomena. Distinctive features, although theoretical constructs (Giegerich, 1992, p. 89), reflect phonetic, that is, articulatory and acoustic, properties of sounds. In the flow of speech, some features tend to influence the neighbouring phonemes. Sometimes speech organs produce something that the brain just ‘plans’ to produce (anticipatory speech errors). There are situations where it seems as if the successive organization of phonemes went hand in hand with the simultaneous nature of certain articulatory characteristics of those phonemes (the transgression of consonants and inherence of vowels in Romportl’s theory), or the given feature seems to be anticipated by the preceding segment. This is the case with nasalization and/or anticipatory coarticulation, as well as regressive (anticipatory) assimilation. In addition, simultaneity/consecutivity is a decisive criterion for the difference between the so-called complex segments, as specified in Feature Geometry, and simple segments (Duanmu, 2009). Moreover, the phonological opposition of simultaneity- successivity (that is, consecutivity) itself functions as a feature making a difference between segmental and suprasegmental elements in the sound system of a language, as was first mentioned by Harris (1944), later indicated by Jakobson (1962) and then fully developed by Sabol (2007, 2012).

We discuss the most important and simple concept of basic circuit theory—the concept of the unideal source—or the Thevenin circuit. It is explained firstly how the Thevenin circuit can be interpreted in the algebraic sense. Then, we critically consider the common opinion that it is a linear circuit, showing that linearity (or nonlinearity) depends on the use of the port. The difference between the cases of a source being an input or an internal element (as it is in Thevenin’s circuit) is important here. The distinction in the definition of linear operator in algebra (here in system theory) and in geometry is also important for the subject, and we suggest the wide use of the concept of “affine nonlinearity.” This kind of nonlinearity should be relevant for the development of complicated circuitry (perhaps in a biological modeling context) with nonprescribed definition of subsystems, when the interpretation of a port as input or output can become dependent on the local intensity of a process.

The Royal Society has already done me the honour of publishing in the Philosophical Transactions three memoirs on the relations of radiant heat to the gaseous form of matter. In the first of these memoirs* it was shown that for heat emanating from the blackened surface of a cube filled with boiling water, a class of bodies which had been previously regarded as equally, and indeed, as far as laboratory experiments went, perfectly diathermic, exhibited vast differences both as regards radiation and absorption. At the common tension of one atmosphere the absorptive energy of olefiant gas, for example, was found to be 290 times that of air, while when lower pressures were employed the ratio was still greater. The reciprocity of absorption and radiation on the part of gases was also experimentally established in this first investigation. In the second inquiry† I employed a different and more powerful source of heat, my desire being to bring out with still greater decision the differences which revealed themselves in the first investigation. By carefully purifying the transparent elementary gases, and thus reducing the action upon radiant heat, the difference between them and the more strongly acting compound gases was greatly augmented. In this second inquiry, for example, olefiant gas at a pressure of one atmosphere was shown to possess 970 times the absorptive energy of atmospheric air, while it was shown to be probable that when pressures of 1/30th of an atmosphere were compared, the absorption of olefiant gas was nearly 8000 times that of air. A column of ammoniacal gas, moreover, 3 feet long, was found sensibly impervious to the heat employed in the inquiry, while the vapours of many of the volatile liquids were proved to be still more opaque to radiant heat than even the most powerfully acting permanent gases. In this second investigation, the discovery of dynamic radiation and absorption is also announced and illustrated, and the action of odours and of ozone on radiant heat is made the subject of experiment.

Summary It was emphasised in the work whether there are differences in soil productivity of FADM farms from countries belonging to EU-15 and EU-12, and whether CAP subsidies impact the degree of these differences. For this purpose, a comparative analysis was conducted for the soil productivity indicators (taking into account the value of CAP subsidies in the value of production from agricultural activity and without such subsidies) as well as a statistical assessment of differences between those indicators in EU-15 and EU-12 countries based on the Mann-Whitney U test. EU-FADN data was used in the work. The timeframe covered the period of 2007-2013, the spatial scope covered EU-27 countries while the subject scope covered farms representative for particular EU-15 and EU-12 countries. A hypothesis was made that including subsidies from the Common Agricultural Policy in the total production generated from farming causes absence of the significance of differences, in the productivity of soils from EU- 15 and EU-12 countries. As a result of the conducted analyses, it was confirmed that CAP subsidies increase the difference in the scope of soil productivity between farms from EU-15 and EU-12 countries. A bigger level of differences occurred between FADN farms from countries composing EU-15.

The purpose of this article is to present one of the most problematic issues in the Civil Code of Georgia, which is manifested in the confusion of the institution of subrogation in insurance law with such institutions as cession and the condition of regression. They are close in content to each other, and this fact makes it difficult to see differences between them. Seeing the difference in content between them has not only theoretical but also practical significance, as each institution is characterized by a different legal outcome, and in each specific case the proper qualification of the relationship is crucial. One of the most practical different legal consequences of the given institutions is revealed in the different terms of the statute of limitations. For example, until 2012, it was unknown to the Georgian court that the statute of limitation of a subrogation starts from the period when the insurer has the right to claim damages against the insurance underwriter. Before then, it was an unknown fact that, different from regression, only legal relationship is established with one obligation in subrogation. In this article, we have discussed the distinctive features of subrogation, cession, and the condition of regression, and the accompanying legal consequences. We have discussed the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia, which discuss the differences in the content and results of the above-mentioned institutions. As a result, it was revealed that the practice of the Civil Court of Georgia before 2012 was unknown about the institution of subrogation, which is a really significant problem. It can be said that a uniform practice of the Supreme Court has been established at the Subrogation Institute and the problems that existed before have been solved.

In order to improve the performance of the spiral groove dry gas seal (S-DGS), the spiral groove dry gas seal with an inner annular groove (AS-DGS) was invented. Based on the narrow groove theory, the sealing performance parameters of the AS-DGS were gained by using approximate analytical method to solve the gas film pressure control equations, and the results were compared with those of the common S-DGS. The results show that, in the given operating conditions, the opening force of AS-DGS is smaller than that of the S-DGS with the difference less than 0.5%, and the film stiffness is larger than that of the common S-DGS with the difference less than 5% in the case of low-speed or high-pressure operation, but the leakage is a little larger.

In this brief chapter some reflections of a comparative nature between the Austrian legal order and some state systems of the German Empire are presented regarding the standards of judicial review adopted between 1890 and 1910. The comparison is based primarily on the research works of Angela Ferrari Zumbini and Lilly Weidemann, which, after a general introduction to the subject in the different legal orders, present a series of judgments issued by the administrative courts of last instance in that period. This chapter outlines the common and distinctive features of the review conducted by these courts before examining whether, and in what ways, this case law has contributed to the formation of general principles and rules of conduct for public administrations.
