The pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic aspects of language use vary across different situations, languages, and cultures. The separation of these two facets of language use can help to map out the socio-cultural norms and conventions as well as the linguistic forms and strategies that underlie the pragmatic performance of different language speakers in a variety of target language use situatio...

The centenary of the establishment Department Classics at University Kraków coincides with that beginnings study ‘Pompeii Syrian Desert.’In spring 1920, British Indian soldiers digging in ruins known as Salihiyeh overlooking Euphrates accidentally revealed ancient paintings. Recorded by archaeologist James Henry Breasted, these discoveries would soon lead to further excavations Franz Cumont (19...

patients and methods a questionnaire was developed by a departmental checklist focus group, which aimed to identify the perception of health care checklists in general as well as specific checklists for routine and crisis situations in anesthesia. furthermore participants were asked regarding their perception of performing routine anesthesia and managing crisis situations without any cognitive ...

Gedankenexperimente in der Philosophie zeichnen sich durch ein widersprüchliches Verhältnis aus: Sie werden gleichzeitig häufig genutzt und vielfältig kritisiert. Im Zentrum Kritik steht dabei das Szenario sowie seine teilweise als absurd wahrgenommenen Details. Als Verteidigungsstrategie Methode wird daher zum einen versucht, realistische zu bevorzugen, anderen, Argument hinter dem deutlicher ...

E.G. Bessonov suggested the time integrated strength of an electric field ∫−∞∞E(r,t)dt=SE(r) as a parameter to classify electromagnetic (EM) waves. Since then, this has been studied and used in many works on microwave laser physics, especially when it comes unipolar, bipolar few cycle EM pulses. In paper, is shown that SE(r)=0 identity for wide class free space pulses finite total energy. This ...

A relation is obtained between weak values of quantum observ-ables and the consistency criterion for histories of quantum events. It is shown that " strange " weak values (such as values less than zero for projection operators) always correspond to inconsistent families of histories. It is argued that using the ABL rule to obtain probabilities for counterfactual measurements corresponding to th...

We propose a general mechanism by which strange non-chaotic attractors (SNA) can be created during the collision of invariant tori in quasiperiodically forced systems, and then describe rigorously how this mechanism is implemented in certain parameter families of quasiperiodically forced interval maps. In these families a stable and an unstable invariant circle undergo a saddle-node bifurcation...
