Storytelling is often employed as a teaching method. If storytelling is not used properly, however, teachers run the risk of banality and of delivering meaning-poor content. The author believes that storytelling in an intercultural context must privilege the aspects of relations and creativity. As a consequence, she started a narration practice entitled “Creative Writing Relay.” Schools and public bodies collaborated in this project; this spanned different country and continents, allowed for the creation of coexistence (a sort of conviviality) of differences workshops and for the forging of significant relations between children from different places. The site of the exchange was virtual, thanks to a purpose-built virtual environment. The results were positive: the children developed an ability to appreciate the relativity of different and distant points of view, acquired an interest in other cultures, and discovered new alphabets; in fact, they started to appreciate that differences can be an opportunity for enrichment.

Objective Necessity

Introduction. The objective necessity of the appearance of this code of laws for the pharmaceu-tical industry is shown. The proofs of the readiness of all branches of pharmacy to develop the text of the Pharmacopoeia, taking into account modern international requirements for scientific and practical activities in the development, manufacture and production of medicines, are presented.Text. The work presents the history of the creation of the VII edition of the State Pharmacopoeia of the USSR. The sequence of steps for the formation of the Pharmacopoeia Commission, the stages of its activities for the preparation of the updated text of the Pharmacopoeia is described, a detailed analysis of the prepared text is given in comparison with the current Pharmacopoeia of the VI edition (1910). Various points of view of experts on the content of the main text are cited, which served as the basis for the new document. The role of domestic scien-tists-pharmacists in the development and publication of the VII edition of the State Pharmacopoeia of the USSR is evaluated.Conclusion. The role of the Pharmacopoeia Commission in the timely development of the text of the new edition of the State Pharmacopoeia is emphasized.

<div>A partir de considerações sobre a renovação do espetáculo na história do circo, são apresentados pontos de vista em relação às inf uências da organização do circo e da finalidade dos espetáculos na estética circense. Sublinhandose que o circo social traz mudanças na fi nalidade do espetáculo, faz-se uma descrição do que é o circo social, de como se constitui e como atua. É realizada uma análise dos fundamentos pedagógicos que interferem na criação do espetáculo de circo social, encontrando-se uma relação com o horizonte teórico dos Estudos da Performance. Conclui-se que o circo social renova a cena circense contemporânea e colabora com os outros movimentos artísticos que destacam a importância da arte e do espetáculo como recursos pedagógicos.<br /><br>Beginning with considerations about the renovation of the show in the circus history, are presented points of view about the influences of the circus organization and the finality of the shows in the circus aesthetics. Underlining that the social circus brings change in the finality of the show, is developed a description of what is the social circus, how it is constituted and how it acts. Is realized an analysis of the pedagogic bases that interfere in the creation of the show and is found a relation with the theory of the Performance Studies. The conclusion is that the social circus renews the circus contemporary scene and collaborates with other artistic movements that evidence the importance of the art and the show like pedagogic resources. </div>

The Creation

From the creation until the adoption of the Constitution of 1921 (the so-called Vidovdan Constitution), the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes wandered aimlessly in the constitutional provisional for almost three years. The Vidovdan Constitution finally established some kind of legal organization of the newly formed state. However, the subject of this paper will not be the analysis of social and political circumstances before and after the adoption of the Vidovdan Constitution, but the author will analyze different views on the Vidovdan Constitution from the pens of the most important Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian constitutional lawyers. In that way, through a comprehensive comparative legal analysis, a big step will be made towards shedding light on all the problems that burdened the newly formed kingdom from the start, and which were a stumbling block in building stable relations between Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Based on the analysis of the mentioned different points of view on the Vidovdan Constitution, the author will point out the most controversial elements of the biggest names in the constitutional law of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia and report certain conclusions about the nature and character of the Vidovdan Constitution.

The directionality of grammaticalization in Spanish

Semantic Properties

The paper examines three directions of grammaticalization by subjectification. Using the general cline Grammar > Discourse and Discourse > Grammar or Grammar ↔ Discourse, Spanish shows three types of diachronic subjectification, going in three different directions: (1) Grammar > Grammar; (2) Grammar > Discourse; (3) Grammar > Discourse > and again Grammar. Directions 1 and 2 are well known; direction 3, as far as I know, is unknown in the literature about grammaticalization. (1) Initiates in the Grammar, at the textual-syntactic level, and continues to function in the Grammar, with a different distribution and different syntactic-semantic properties as regards its etymon. (2) Begins in the Grammar, cancels the syntactic and morphological capacities of the etymon, produces syntactic isolation and widening of scope and results in the creation of autonomous forms which work at the discourse level. (3) Begins in the Grammar, goes to the Discourse via the cancellation of the morphological and syntactic capacities of the objective form, widens its scope and results in an autonomous form. Once it has operated in the Discourse, it returns to the Grammar, narrowing its scope, taking a new grammatical role again, and paradigmatizing with other forms. The form preserves the subjective meaning of the second stage. The process in all cases is semantically the same: the speaker’s appraisals, points of view and attitudes about the event and his/her interaction with regard to the hearer find explicit codification in grammar, becoming a coded and highly-conventionalized meaning in the grammar of a language (Traugott 1995b, 1999), but the direction of the change is different in each case. Subjectification looks like a multi-dimensional process, not a unidirectional one.

Visual Fidelity

This paper provides an overview of the literature on the visual system, placing special emphasis on those visual characteristics regarded as necessary to produce adequate visual fidelity in virtual environments. These visual cues apply to the creation of various virtual environments including those involving flying, driving, sailing, or walking. A variety of cues are examined, in particular, motion, color, stereopsis, pictorial and secondary cues, physiological cues, texture, vertical development, luminance, field-of-view, and spatial resolution. Conclusions and recommendations for research are also presented.

The paper examines the cycle of stories “The capture of Novgorod the Great” and “The Taking of Pskov” in manuscripts of the 16th–17th centuries. Since at least two manuscripts contain the stories “The taking of Novgorod the Great” and “The taking of Pskov” in the same sequence, thematically related, the creator of this cycle probably used the same chronicle source. The author analyzes texts taking into account the composition of the manuscripts and the context of chronicle texts of the 15th–16th centuries on the annexation of the North-Western lands to the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Attention is focused on the fact that the story “The taking of Pskov” simultaneously contains signs of both Pskov and Moscow points of view on the events of 1510. Consequently the author suggests a hypothesis: the creator of the cycle of stories “The taking of Novgorod the Great” and “The taking of Pskov” processed now lost source of the story “The taking of Pskov”, which reflected Pskov point of view on its annexation, the Grand prince`s attitude towards joining the North-Western lands of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and according to his plan, connected with the creation of ideas about joining the North-Western lands as a single process of gathering lands.
