Gli usi dell’articolo e del pro-aggettivo in alcuni tipi di sintagmi nominali italiani a confronto con lo sloveno

The article focuses on the relationship between postmodifiers in the form of noun phrases, relative and content clauses, and the use of articles or pro-adjectives in the nominal heads. The results of a qualitative analysis of Slovene and Italian texts and their translations into Italian and Slovene are presented, the main purpose of which was to identify markers of definiteness in Slovene and to predict the use of articles in Italian, thus showing the possibilities for Slovenes to express themselves appropriately in Italian. Assuming that definiteness is a universal category and therefore recognisable also in languages without articles (Slovene), and considering the author and the translator ideal speakers of Slovene and/or Italian, the Slovene texts served as the starting point of each analysis, while the Italian texts played the role of control. An article use is defined as cataphoric if the content of the postmodifier contributes to the definite interpretation of its head. Subordinate noun phrases can be divided into conceptual and argumentative. In Italian, the former, expressing a non-entity, are marked by a zero article and form a semantic unit with their heads, whereas the latter, expressing an entity, are marked by an article (included the zero one) and do not form a semantic unit with their heads. Related to definiteness is the restrictiveness of the clause, which consists in the article or pro-adjective determining the head including its postmodifier. Such heads can be both definite or indefinite. The analyses have shown instances of relative clauses that are placed between restrictive and non-restrictive ones. Conveying descriptive information, they occur after the heads preceded by an indefinite article. The definiteness of nominal heads preceded by a pro-adjective or without a determiner in Slovene texts is also discussed.

Overview of the Research

Chapter 3 begins with an overview of the law in Pennsylvania regarding economic sanctions. It then provides an overview of the research that my students and I conducted in Pennsylvania, research that combines perspectives from criminology, psychology, and law. It also discusses the need for and use of multiple research methods and multiple levels of analyses in addressing issues that affect public policy. The rationale for this multiplistic approach is that consistent findings across studies, despite the different strengths and weaknesses of the different methods, indicate that those findings are probably valid. The research used state-wide data from courts, data from individual counties for both adult and juvenile offenders, and surveys of victims, offenders, and judges. The chapter then discusses three studies of economic sanctions based on statewide data or on data from multiple counties, which together provide broad descriptive information about how economic sanctions are handled in different parts of the state.

Defining Boundaries: Towards an Identity of The Malaysian Third Sector

Reviews of the literature suggest the Malaysian third sector lacks basic descriptive information. Research on what makes up the sector is scarce, indicating little effort was undertaken to define and identify its components from the Malaysian perspective. This paper proposes the scope of the Malaysian third sector by suggesting its boundaries and identifying the constituents. Inclusion was based on the structural-operational definition of third sector organisations developed by Salamon and Anheier (1992, 1996) and the primary basis for exclusion is distribution of profits to shareholders and promoters. It is proposed that social, voluntary, non-governmental and nonprofit organisations make up the Malaysian third sector, while state linked organisations and profit-distributing organisations such as cooperatives and social enterprises are excluded. Knowing the third sector’s boundaries and constituents would allow more focussed research to be undertaken; enabling actors, researchers, and policymakers to identify issues and develop policies and strategies to address them.

Herencia medieval y neologismo en el léxico cromático de textos historiográficos en el siglo de Oro según el Corpus diacrónico del español

The main objective of this investigation is to examine with textual support the use of the vocabulary of color during the Golden Period through the investigation that it is a medieval heritage or a neologism. This chromatic terminology was little used during the thirteenth century and in the following centuries its use is multiplied by the communication needs of a society that demands descriptive information on many social, cultural and economic issues, as happens with historiographic documents. To this end, a quantitative investigation has been designed in three phases: (a) search for chromatic voices that designate six selected colors; (b) determination of the first documentation of this group of voices; and (c) quantitative analysis to find a trend regarding the silver duality. For the search of these empirical references, the Diachronic Corpus of Spanish has been used as a data bank to collect textual examples on the chromatic vocabulary extracted from different historiographic sources. The result is the presentation of 100 terms with their respective empirical testimonies that reflect the continuity of the medieval heritage in the colors white, black and red, while formal neologisms are very frequent for the rest.

“Science Festival” may not mean what we think it means: an analysis of how researchers and practitioners use this term

The modern science festival movement has grown significantly since the Edinburgh International Science Festival launched in 1989. Hundreds of science festivals now occur annually and vary widely. This article examines how the term “science festival” is used within research and practice. We find that most research articles fail to describe the science festivals they study. A subsequent analysis of festival websites and other publicly available information confirms the wide variability of science festival formats, which suggests the need for descriptive information about science festivals in scholarly work.

The Integrative Theory of the Administrative Process is the Only True Basis for Building a Model of the Administrative Process

The article highlights and criticizes two mutually exclusive approaches to understanding the administrative process that currently exist in Russia, which emasculate its complex content, predetermined by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. From the system analysis of art. 10, 18, 72, 118, 126, 132 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation the administrative procedure legislation of the Russian Federation is distinguished, which is considered as a single legal basis for the administrative proceedings carried out by the courts (including: the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, courts of general jurisdiction, arbitration courts), and the administrative process carried out by the public administration (including: federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation and local self-government bodies performing administrative and public functions, as well as organizations, which, by virtue of federal law, have the status of a state or other body for the purpose of performing certain administrative and public functions). With this approach, two components are distinguished in the structure of the administrative procedural legislation of the Russian Federation: 1) administrative-procedural legislation that forms the legal basis of judicial administrative proceedings; 2) administrative-procedural legislation that forms the legal basis of executive (non-judicial) judicial administrative proceedings. Developing the information-psychological approach developed in the theory of law, in relation to the scientific knowledge of the administrative process, administrative-indicating legal norms are distinguished, the analysis of which allows us to reveal the content, form and structure of the judicial administrative process, as well as the executive (non-judicial) administrative process and to establish an integrative relationship between them. Using such a scientific technique, the following is distinguished: 1) a group of administrative-indexing norms that establish discretionary (descriptive) information about judicial administrative cases; 2) a group of administrative-indexing norms that establish discretionary (descriptive) information about non-judicial administrative cases. By means of a differentiated analysis of the selected legal norms, it is argued: judicial and extrajudicial administrative cases are separated, differentiated concepts of administrative proceedings and administrative proceedings are introduced, the structure of judicial and executive (extra-judicial) administrative proceedings is revealed. Based on the developed scientific positions, the key proposals for the systematization of the judicial administrative process and the executive (non-judicial) administrative process in Russia are put forward. Summarizing the above, it is concluded that the presented integrative approach to understanding the administrative process and the proposals put forward on its basis for differentiated systematization of judicial and executive (extrajudicial) administrative process are the only true way to develop the Russian model of administrative process.

Survey of Jordanian Awareness about Hazardous Symbols of Chemicals

The use of chemical substances has commonly increased, there are such a number of chemical dangers all spherical us that it is probably almost now no longer feasible to feature if we centered constantly on the dangers. This is precisely why we need to don't forget the dangers. Everyone need to apprehend exactly what do in case of unstable contact with risky material. Previously we tested consciousness of Jordanian peoples and measured the employees’ interest of risky chemical compounds1. So this new seek aimed to research chemical symbols attentions, a questionnaire survey come to be executed among a whole of 245 peoples. The questionnaire come to be acquainted with flammable risky symbols as 90.6%, however handiest 7% for fitness chance symbol. Statistical assessment of the statistics come to be finished with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The effects show that the descriptive information confirmed that scholars proven truthful to excellent familiarity and expertise of chemical chance caution symbols. Most college students had bad to truthful attitudes closer to chemical laboratory protection; however, the evaluation of college students’ chemical laboratory protection practices found out truthful to suitable practices. While college students’ protection focus and practices, however now no longer attitude, at this college have been acceptable, protection tactics want to be applied inside an extra expert protection training and coherent threat and protection weather management

Teacher-report of where preschool-aged children play and are physically active in indoor and outdoor learning centers

The childcare environment impacts physical activity participation, but little descriptive information is available in different types of programs. Most studies focus on the schoolyard despite children spending more time indoors. This study identified which learning centers were available, used by children, and promoted physical activity, both inside and on the schoolyard. Teachers ( N = 139; licensed centers, n = 59; home-based programs, n = 80) identified available learning centers and ranked locations where children spent free-choice time and participated in physical activity. Indoors, blocks, books, and dramatic play were frequently available, and dramatic play was ranked as an area where children spent time (87%) and were active (63%). Outdoors, open/grassy areas, fixed equipment, sandbox, and seating were available, and open/grassy areas and paved areas for balls/objects were locations where children spent time (73%–100%) and were active (87%–100%). Addition of learning centers that were unavailable but promoted physical activity (e.g. lofts) may be a point of intervention.

Typical is Trustworthy - Evidence for a Generalized Heuristic

When judging whether someone is trustworthy, people rely on the perceptual typicality of a person’s face. We tested whether a more general typical-is-trustworthy heuristic exists based on the descriptive typicality of a person. In four experiments, we provided participants with descriptive information about the typicality of target persons’ attributes (i.e., population prevalence) and measured perceived trustworthiness. Participants consistently expected descriptively typical targets to be more trustworthy than descriptively atypical targets. These findings show that typicality-based trustworthiness inferences are not only confided to perceptual typicality but also apply to descriptive typicality, suggesting a general typical-is-trustworthiness heuristic. This implies a human tendency to trust typical individuals more and, conversely, a disadvantage for atypical individuals such as minorities.
