Visual Rhetoric and the Power of Imagery: A Brief Lesson in the Rhetorical Power of Images and the Need for phronesis and krisis in the Teaching of Visual Rhetoric

Since the ancient rhetoricians, humans have awarded imagery, the visual, and the vivid an extraordinary effect on emotions and memory. Such assumptions have led to iconophobia, iconoclasm, and myths about the special power of images. The issue of the power of pictures, however, is more complicated. As all other kinds of rhetorical utterances, the visual can be both powerful and powerless depending on the circumstances. For many pictures, the rhetorical power lies not mainly in their political deliberation, but instead in their nature as demonstrative or epideictic rhetoric: a rhetoric that does not primarily advocate immediate change, but tries to increase adherence to existing view-points, attitudes and values. Even though visual rhetoric may perform a powerful address to those who are already convinced, it does not necessarily hold much power over adversaries and sceptics. This article argues that when teaching visuality and the power of imagery, educators ought to help young pupils – and the citizenry in general – not only to decode visual communication, but also to interpret and evaluate it. The first requires knowledge about rules of visual literacy, the second requires not only critical thinking, but also situational and cultural knowledge, as well as sound judgment.

THE MEDICAL CHARMS: SEARCH FOR UNIVERSALS IN THEGENRE (BASED ON SLAVONIC AND KORYAK MATERIALS OF MEDICAL CHARMS)

В статье представлены результаты сопоставительного анализа заговорных лечебных текстов двух генетически не связанных этнических традиций, взаимовлияние между которыми минимально (славянской и корякской). В ходе анализа был использован сравнительно-типологический метод, предполагающий выявление типологически сходных явлений на базе сопоставления разнородного эмпирического материала. Заговорная традиция коренных народов Дальнего Востока является одной из наименее разработанных сфер фольклористического исследования. В то же время обширность фонда опубликованных славянских заговоров позволяет привлекать их в качестве сравнительного материала для выявления типологически сходных явлений. Единой структуры заговорного текста, в равной степени присущего разным этническим культурам, не существует, однако наблюдаются некоторые схождения в области мотивного состава. Текст заговора моделирует ситуацию с участием сакрального персонажа, актуального для национальной традиционной культуры. В рамках сюжета лечебного заговора сакральному персонажу соответствует функция помощника-целителя, избавителя от болезни. Универсальным является мотив пути сакрального персонажа или знахаря. Данный мотив не только является сюжетообразующим для целого ряда заговорных текстов, но и предстает в качестве инициирующего посыла произнесения лечебного заговора и совершения магического исцеляющего ритуала. Применение заговора требует от целителя особого ментального состояния, которое в тексте символически изображается как пересечение пространства, т. е. путь. К универсальным можно отнести и мотив изгнания болезни, в основе которого лежит древнейшее представление о болезни как персонифицированной сущности. Для традиционного знахарства характерна апелляция к суточному временно му циклу. В частности, время рассвета предстает как время исцеляющее, в связи с чем в разных этнических традициях существует практика произнесения текста и совершения ритуала во время утренней зари. Независимо от этнической специфики текстов, для знахарской практики характерна вера в магическое средство, при этом особую роль играют элементы животной природы (например, зубы зверя). Восприятие звериного начала как магического свидетельствует о мифологической основе формирования данных мотивов, отголоски которой проявляются до настоящего времени в традиционных лечебных заговорах разных этнических культур. In this paper comparative analyses of therapeutic charms recorded from such ethical groups as Koryaks and Slavonic people are represented. Interaction between these groups (Koryaks and Slavonians) was minimal and they unrated genetically. During analysis comparative-typological method enabled to find similar typological phenomenon while comparing different empirical material. In folkloristic research charm traditions of native people from Far East is relatively poorly studied. At the same time Slavonic charm tradition has substantial background, which allows to use it as comparative material to find typologically similarities. There is no uniform structure of the charm text in different cultures, though some overlaps in the motives can be found in texts. In the charm text modulation of the situation with sacral character has a place but the character is specific for the traditional culture. In the plot of therapeutic charms, the sacral character has a function of healer who helps fight diseases. The route motive of the healer is universal. This motive is not only plot-forming for several charm texts, but also represents the initial point of the spell and magical healing ritual. The use of the spell requires special mental condition of the healer which is symbolized in the texts as a path, space crossing. The motive of disease banishment is also universal. The roots of this can be found in ancient representation of disease as an evil creature. Another characteristic feature of traditional healing process is appeal to daily circles. In particular, the sunrise id represented as healing time. Due to this concept in many ethnical tradition’s spells are pronounced and rituals are held during the sunrise. Despite ethnical tradition belief in magical healing agent is characteristic. Notably, elements of the fauna, teeth for example, are believed to have special power. The believe of the animal beginnings being equal to magical ones shows mythological basis for these motives. Even nowadays pieces of this mythological basis can be found in healing charms of different cultures.

The Special Power Concept Of State Attorney General In Preventing The Governmental Product/Service Procurement-Related Crime In Indonesia

The basic duty of RI’s General Attorney in Special Crime Division is to undertake repressive function. In addition, preventive strategy is an action taken to prevent the product/service corruption crime by Civil and State Administration Division of RI’s Attorney General (DATUN). This study aims to analyze the construction of JPN authorization based on RI’s Attorney General Law. The method used in this study was juridical normative one. The result of research shows that the textual meaning with grammatical interpretation related to the attorney’s duty and authority in civil and state administration function based on Article 30 clause (2) of RI’s Attorney General Law in the terms of acting for and on behalf of state or government, the prosecutor in civil and state administration area should have special power. This article mentions firmly the phrase “special power”, but does not mention explicitly the State Attorney General. Nevertheless, the interpretation of special power as mentioned in Article 30 clause (2) of Attorney General Law to be State General Attorney is found in Republic of Indonesia Attorney General’s Regulation. However, in the concept of norm constructed, this authority should be preceded with a demand. The translation of JPN in the context of function provides a legal deliberation that on the one hand the absence of special power of attorney facilitates the role of JPN in the attempt of preventing corruption crime, but on the other hand an inconsistent application of rule occurs.

Szczególni pełnomocnicy spółek kapitałowych w sporach ze spółką

<p>The study provides an analysis of the status of representatives in disputes with the company and, consequently, of the rules of representation in those disputes. The research problem addressed herein is based on the analysis of Article 210 § 1 and Article 253 of the Polish Code of Commercial Partnerships and Companies (CCPC). These rules govern issues related to the occurrence of disputes with the company and, in particular, the problem of the participation of the company’s representatives in those disputes. It should be clear that power of attorney plays a special role in the regulation of the Code of Commercial Partnerships and Companies. It is also widely applicable not only in the classic representation of entities or persons within the company, but also of the company itself. A representative is granted a special status due to the transactions in which he participates. One should also keep in mind the situations where a representative represents the company in classical activities besides Articles 210 or 253 CCPC. In that case, the representative’s authorisation is “activated” by the body usually having the power to do so (the management board) or by other representatives (statutory representatives or representatives appointed under a power of attorney, if the conditions laid down in Article 106 of the Polish Civil Code are met). Another situation is when they are appointed by a meeting of shareholders or partners (Articles 210 and 253 CCPC). Another feature of the special power of attorney is the use of it in disputes and not in legal transactions. It can therefore be concluded that the use of the word “representative” in the context of the provisions of the Polish Code of Commercial Partnerships and Companies may be of particular importance.</p>

Determining the Optimal Method for Analyzing Specific Accidents (Case study: Falling accidents in the construction project of a combined cycle power plant)

Introduction: Today, accident investigation and analysis is an important component of safety programs in preventive measures. Incident investigation involves collecting all the information and actual interpretations of an incident, analyzing information to find out the causes of the incident, and writing an incident report. Methods: This descriptive-analytical article was conducted to determine the most important criteria for investigating and selecting the techniques of accident investigation as well as analyzing and selecting the best method of accident analysis in the events of the power plant industry. In this research, previous research studies were studied and expert opinions were collected with regard to the most important criteria for choosing a specific accident analysis method. Later, the 4 accident analysis methods was applied in a special power plant accident and the decision matrix was designed based on the strengths and weaknesses of the model formation. Finally, these four methods were prioritized using the Topsis decision-making method. Results: The key factors in investigating the main criteria for selecting an incident analysis method included the ability to understand the sequence of events in the model, identifying the root causes, descriptiveness and ability to provide reasons for managers and specialists, the need for technical experts, and the time criterion. The TRIPOD BETA method was selected as the best method for analyzing the power accidents. Conclusion: The TRIPOD BETA method was introduced as the most effective method for investigating power plant accidents.

Fast calculation method of transient temperature rise of motor for electro-mechanical braking

Electro-mechanical braking is a new braking mode of rail vehicles, which has the advantages of compact structure, fast response speed, and high precision. It is a new braking technology that conforms to the development trend of full electrification and full intelligence of rail transit brake devices. Due to the special power demand of the electro-mechanical braking device, the electro-mechanical braking motor has a short-time and intermittent working mechanism and is in the state of blocking during working, resulting in its high-temperature rise. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the temperature rise of the motor quickly and accurately at the beginning of its design. To address this problem, based on the coupling calculation of the equivalent thermal circuit method and the equivalent magnetic circuit method, a fast temperature rise calculation method of the motor is proposed. Then, using the fast calculation method, the temperature rise of the electro-mechanical brake motor under different working periods and wind speed is calculated. By function fitting the calculated results, the motor temperature rise curve fitting function is obtained, which can accurately predict the temperature rise of the motor under different working conditions. It provides a theoretical basis for the use of electro-mechanical braking motor in different working conditions and also provides a reference for the design of the electro-mechanical braking motor.

ON THE PROBLEMS OF EXERCISING THE AUTHORITY OF THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CLAIMANT TO RECEIVE THE AWARDED FUNDS: ALL DOUBTS ARE NOT IN FAVOR

The author examines the problematic aspects of the implementation by the representative of the claimant under the enforcement document of a special power to receive funds both in the course of enforcement in the presence of enforcement proceedings initiated in the relevant division of bailiffs, and in the order of presenting the writ of execution directly to a Bank or other credit organization. It is stated that there is no uniformity of judicial practice on the issue of recognizing the right of a representative to demand the transfer of funds due to the recoverer to the account of the recoverer’s representative in the event of the exercise of this power during the initiated enforcement proceedings. The article substantiates the provision on the involuntary nature of the Bank’s actions carried out in accordance with Article 8 of the Law on Enforcement Proceedings, as well as on the unreasonableness of the ban on transferring funds to the personal Bank account of the representative in the case of applying with an enforcement document to the Bank for the purpose of collecting in a simplified manner. It is concluded that there are no significant grounds for differentiating the considered options for collecting funds in order to determine whether the representative of the recoverer has the right to receive the money awarded to the recoverer.
