Author(s): Sonila PIRI,Aida Gjinali / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2014

The first part provides an analysis of the concept of culture: the one related with the academic meaning of the word, which expresses the level of a society’s evolution regarding literature, music, and painting, i.e. artistic and intellectual expressions of a society. In addition, this concept includes the anthropological perspective which encompasses the way of life, customs, traditions, beliefs, mindsets, principles, as well as abilities that the individual and the community in which he lives have developed. Further on, an analysis is provided of the concept of culture in glottodidactics and its importance in the program of studying a foreign language. The second part highlights the importance of learning culture and civilization in the foreign language classroom; this is a major task which every teacher and instructor should pay close attention to: when learning a foreign language it not only necessary to acquire knowledge of its morphology and syntax, but also to study aspects of culture and civilization. In order to optimally achieve this, the teacher can use different methods to analyze cultural differences; for example comparisons, simulations, newspapers, media and the classroom too. The third part focuses on the importance of authentic material as this material originally reflects the culture in a particular moment and context. In this way, by the use of this material, the teacher provides students with a way of understanding situations and foreigners’ behavior, in this case the persons who represent the culture and the language being learnt. New technology, such as video and internet, is very good sources of authentic material. Internet is particularly a mere environment where students can interact in order to improve their communicative competences and where they can discover the culture of the language which they are learning.

Диагонални точкови конфигурации. Правило на триъгълника. Инварианти

Author(s): Zdravko Lalchev,Irina Voutova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

Some new concepts such as diagonal configuration of points and its invariants are introduced in the present work. It is shown that the quadrilateral and the octahedron are concretization of a diagonal configuration of points and that the invariants of these configurations are analogues of the concepts of area of a quadrilateral and volume of an octahedron. The idea of invariants of diagonal configurations of points is consistently developed (an integrated approach is used) for 2-dimentional, 3-dimentional, 4-dimentional, n-dimentional (n> 4) space. Compact symbols are introduced in order to facilitate the general conclusions and to simplify the demonstrations, also the „triangle rule“ is deduced and consistently applied.

Components of subject search in the computer environment, are access points, such as classification tags, subject words, descriptors, title words. Search is done in a nowadays world via online catalogue. In 1997, IFLA developed a study “Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records”, and for bibliographic marking of records, MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) format. To enable the subject search, the key is the document subject processing. Subject heading is made of a set or line of words, that are term designations, which as a whole, give a concise statement about the subject. Search and designation are two interrelated processes that must be based on the same terminology.

The value of the self-help groups in getting out of addiction and being sober of the punished persons – proposals for socialization

Author(s): Anna Kieszkowska / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The necessity of comprehensive support for people leaving prisons and their families should become the supreme activity of interdisciplinary teams. The article presents the complex and changing nature of modern society, which is a threat to isolated individuals, does not facilitate finding an agreement and makes it difficult to find a sense of belonging in an environmental group. Society does not propose to the individual how to solve the problem of sense of nonsense, but as a rule he tries to eliminate it from human life through access to various forms of institutional help that do not adequately support programs. The decisive role in rebuilding satisfaction is played by such factors as: belonging to the AA group, duration in sobriety, alcohol involvement and participation in psychotherapy. The most benefits come from the support of the community, which gives strength and spiritual and social development, which favors the improvement of functioning in the individual and social sense

АВТОР И ГЕРОЙ В ПОЭМЕ А. К. ТОЛСТОГО «ИОАНН ДАМАСКИН»

Author(s): Tatiana Fedoseeva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2018

A. K. Tolstoy is a poet of the realistic epoch who kept a romantic approach to reality. The poem “John of Damascus” holds a specific place in the poet’s creative body of work representing the writer’s worldview and his aesthetic position. The subjective and objective world of the writing is under investigation in terms of Bakhtin’s theory and modern historical poetics. The article brings to light the specificity of speech organization of the text, narration functioning, dialogue and monologue. While studying the poem the author appeals to the hagiographic texts and funeral canticles by the Reverend that allow precising the ties between the image of John and his prototype. He also points out the meaning of the closing episode of the hagiography of the Holy Man for the poem’s storyline, and the role of the romantic motif of the detachment in the depiction of the hero. The hero’s dialectic image in the poem is defined as the one that traces back to the image of the Reverend John of Damascus and remains under the impact of the image of the author himself. An inner nature of the hero’s image is seen as a juxtaposition of the idea of the superior Divine office, deriving from the historical prototype, and the author’s romantic aspiration for absolute freedom in creative work. The violation of an aesthetic border of the hero’s objectivization is achieved due to the subjectiveness of the writer. The lyric monologues and fragments of the improper and direct speech constituting the poem objectify the hero’s image. Through the expressiveness of the latter the author’s subjectiveness is traced. The author and the hero are thought as the images that possess subjectiveness and objectified at the same time in the world. The study of the nature of subjective and objective relations in the poem gives an access to the value-based level of its content. The poem “John of Damascus” presents parallel ways of searching for truth by two poets — a theologian and an artist. The first one comes to the ideal of a humbled man, whilst the other one to the idea of the assertion of man’s dignity in front of God. The value-based level of the poem’s content going back to orthodox understanding of the historical prototype, the hero’s and author’s images, defines semantic wholeness of the poem.

There is a direct relationship between socio-economic and academic development of countries in connection with usage of scientific data. The main purpose of this study was to determine whether population and socio-economic development affect the publication productivity and the number of publications showing the academic development and to compare socio-economic and academic development of Turkic World countries. In this respect we compared socio-economic development levels of countries containing gross domestic product (GDP), purchasing power parity (PPP) GDP values calculated from the calculation of GDP per person, human development index (HDI)) and Internet users (IU) and we evaluated academic developments of Turkic World countries in accordance with the number of publications by scanning the Web of Science database between 1992 to 2014. Relations were searched with correlation analysis and the number of publications of Turkey in 2015 was estimated by regression analysis with curve fitting and the results were discussed.

Author(s): Beata Adamczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2008

Russification was intensified consistently since the suppressing of November Uprising and that circles limited the development printing and book trade in Warsaw particularly and it had an effect on development of publishing firms and of reading. Market of publishing firms was widen by all the terrains, where people lived who spoke Polish language e.g. owing to transportations. The most noticeable factor of activity of czar’s government was censorship, censors forbade or delayed publication of valuable books. The next unfavourable factor was the low level education of society and sensible proportion of illiterates. As a consequence of this state of affairs was a low number of potential readers. Since 1830-1864 prestige of publisher increased considerably and because of changes of publishing framework, increasing of level of general education and working knowledge of jobs connected with books and other kinds of printed publications.

Rękopiśmienny epigramat De monarchiis Filipa Melanchtona ze zbiorów Książnicy Kopernikańskiej w Toruniu

Author(s): Sławomir Wyszomirski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The article addresses various issues connected with the manuscript of the epigram De monarchiis by Philip Melanchton and donated in 1607 by Michael Falck (1575–1624) to the gymnasium school library in Torun. The comparative research of the manuscript has proved that it is the original work by Melanchton. The author of the epigram made a substantial number of copies of the poem in the years 1556–1558, which he later gave to his family and friends. They differed in the number of verses: some of them included eight elegiac couplets, while others only seven. The differences between them were not limited only to the number of verses, but they also included varieties of the text in some passages. They were taken into account in the criticism of the edited text, which also included various editions of the epigram. The second part of the article discusses briefly the content of the epigram and its interpretation in the context of the political situation of the epoch when Melanchton lived. The author enclosed the isometric translations of the epigram prepared by Piotr Osiński, the PhD student at the Philological Faculty of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
