Evaluativity of degree achievements and verbal prefixes: Evidence from Czech morphology

The telicity behavior of degree achievements has been a puzzling problem to many linguists. The most successful and currently standard theory (Kennedy & Levin 2008) treats them as degree expressions lexicalizing different types of scales, which in turn influence the resulting evaluative or non-evaluative interpretation. While it may account for English, this theory does not hold up cross-linguistically. We challenge the scalar theory with new Slavic data and show that verbal prefixes influence the (non-)evaluative interpretation of degree achievements more than their underlying scales do. This proposal is formalised as an addition of two type shifters, morphosyntactically realised as prefixes, which, in result, have an evaluative/non-evaluative effect on the given degree achievement.

ANALISIS YURIDIS PENGENAAN PAJAK PERTAMBAHAN NILAI (PPN) DALAM PEMBIAYAAN MURABAHAH DI PERBANKAN SYARIAH

The requirement of the Value Added Tax (PPN/ Pajak Pertambahan Nilai) on the murabahah endowment at the Islamic banking has created legal problems and led to the Islamic banking insolvency or ruin. Such ruin will mainly results from the fact that the murabahah product at the Islamic banking is not compatible with the credit applied in the conventional banking that is freed from the PPN. This is ironic as the existence of the Islamic banking is badly needed within the Indonesian society to become an alternative to the financial conventional institution or system. On the other hand, it must be openly acknowledged that the entitlement of tax, including PPN, which constitutes the source of national income, is truly necessitate, as when the murabahah product is freed from PPN, the income from the tax sector would be decreased. This article attempts to study and review this puzzling problem through legal and juridical approach.

Mode coupling between nonpolar and polar phonons as the origin of improper ferroelectricity in hexagonal LuMnO3

Currently, the most puzzling problem associated with the hexagonal LuMnO3 (h-LMO) is a large temperature-gap between the structural phase transition to the polar P63cm phase at ∼1290 K and the emergence of the spontaneous polarization at a substantially reduced temperature, ∼750 K.

The Research and Implementation about AFIS

Automatic identification technology becomes a urgent need of production and life, authentication technology gained worldwide attention because of its high reliability, fingerprint identification technology which applied to social security system can accurately determine protects a person's identity and prevent the phenomenon of the pension of falsely claim that solves this one long-term puzzling problem. Based on the preeminent fingerprint identification algorithm is improved, and combining with actual demand the improved algorithm, Using the fingerprint identification and IC card combination way realization of distributed fingerprint authentication system collection. Through the practical efficiency test analysis proves the whole system is feasible, and the running effect is good by practical application.
