Full textWe should reject presentism as the most intuitive theory of time. Prima facie, presentism might seem intuitive due to our perception of time. However, if presentism accurately represents the metaphysics of time, then presentism entails some counter-intuitive results regarding events, truths about the past, and temporary intrinsics. I argue that presentists can only allow for the present to be instantaneous, and then only at the cost of losing events as ontological entities. I argue that an ersatz B-series of times is viable only at the cost of losing the special metaphysical status of the present. Finally, I argue that the claim that propositions are true simpliciter is inconsistent with the claim that propositions are not eternally true. Given these problems, we can see that presentism has some strongly counter-intuitive entailments.

Full text19th Century Danish thinker Søren Kierkegaard believed society alienates individuals from their true selves. Kierkegaard entitles this concept "despair." As such, despair deals not only with Kierkegaard's interpretation of the individual but also of the evolution of societies. While arguing that despair has existed throughout human history, this paper is an exploration of the ways in which modern or "Present Age" societies uniquely exacerbate despair according to Kierkegaard. This work begins with an in-depth look at Kierkegaard's interpretation of the individual and of the self and then addresses the difference between modern and pre-modern societies. Analysis of Kierkegaard's works concludes with a discussion of modern social institutions and their contributions to the problems of the present age

Full textThe Western Aeronautical Test Range (WATR) of NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) is facing a challenge in meeting the technology demands of future flight mission projects. Rapid growth in technology for aircraft has resulted in complexity often surpassing the capabilities of the current WATR real-time processing and display systems. These current legacy systems are based on an architecture that is over a decade old. In response, the WATR has initiated the development of the WATR Integrated Next Generation System (WINGS). The purpose of WINGS is to provide the capability to acquire data from a variety of sources and process that data for subsequent analysis and display to Project Users in the WATR Mission Control Centers (MCCs) in real-time, near real-time and subsequent post-mission analysis. WINGS system architecture will bridge the continuing gap between new research flight test requirements and capability by distributing current system architectures to provide incremental and iterative system upgrades.

Full textThis work aims to situate, in a sociological and historical way, some questions linked to factors that constitute our occidental modernity. The archeological prospect used in this work aims to display a certain number of ideological links with the juxtaposition of the linear and the synchronic, of the historic and the contemporary, but also of the institutional and the ephemeral. It allows us to follow what foucault called "transformations" where as the language of modernity talk about logical stages of a progress which he defines as continuous, and about an historical causality in a way inevitable. To another level, we also examine the position of the contemporary sociological literature in relation to this language. A very special attention is raised about the different orientations claiming to belong to the postmodernism, from m. Maffesoli to j. F. Lyotard, and it is aloso raised about the approach of a socio-anthropological type, with some authors like g. Balandier or m. Auge. From the advanced art of the interwar period to hedonist practices of nowadays, we have tried to show the antagonism of the sovereign ego and the "body-machine", the one of the erratic pulse and the rationalization. We have also tried to give a concept, in their symbolic dimension as well as their technical dimension, the recombinings of the present time wich affect the sphere of the private and the public one, but also the field of the expressing of the real and the one of the fiction, the one of the information and the one of the entertainment. At last, through this analysis, we also examine the continuity of the reactionary thought, its most unexpected extensions

Este estudo investiga as possíveis causas responsáveis pela ocorrência de erros no desempenho de falantes nativos do português do Brasil, aprendizes do inglês como segunda língua, ao empregarem o present perfect. Através da análise de erros contidos em dados produzidos, utilizando a Análise Contrastiva entre a Interlíngua dos aprendizes e a norma selecionada na língua-alvo, são identificados e classificados os erros que ocorrem no desempenho dos aprendizes como oriundos de transferência da língua materna, causados por influências intralingüísticas e ainda atribuídos à existência de uma lacuna semântica nos sistemas verbais das línguas portuguesa e inglesa. A metodologia empregada foi a da Psicolingüística Experimental e consistiu na provocação de dados que apresentassem a estrutura objeto desta pesquisa ? o present perfect. Analisou-se um corpus da língua produzida por 37 falantes nativos do PB aprendizes do inglês como língua estrangeira, alunos de três turmas do 3º ano do ensino médio do Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica (CEFET) da cidade de Curitiba no estado do Paraná. A análise desse corpus tornou possível evidenciar na produção de erros dos aprendizes efeitos inter e intralingüísticos, bem como ressaltou as diferenças existentes entre a língua portuguesa e a inglesa relativas ao aspecto verbal.

Nesta pesquisa, procuramos descrever os diversos usos do particípio presente nas comédias de Plauto (séc. II a. C.), à luz de alguns postulados da Linguística Funcional, em sua vertente norte-americana. Propomos uma associação entre noções linguísticas explicitadas nos textos dos autores latinos e conceitos próprios de nosso suporte teórico: as concepções de uso, variação e mudança discutidas pelas correntes teóricas modernas já estavam presentes nos manuais de retórica e de gramática antigos. Constatamos que o particípio era interpretado, de acordo com pensamento antigo, como uma classe de palavras distinta das demais, por participar ao mesmo tempo da natureza do verbo e do adjetivo. Antes mesmo da análise dos dados, indicamos diversos apontamentos acerca do emprego do particípio presente, pautados em compêndios gramaticais modernos, com o objetivo de contrastar tais informações com usos encontrados no texto do comediógrafo. Em um recorte sincrônico, observamos os particípios sempre levando em consideração o seu contexto de uso. Coletamos os exemplos nas 20 comédias, e com base neles, propomos quatro padrões funcionais: a) particípio presente com função verbal: b) particípio presente com função própria; c) particípio presente com função adjetiva; e) particípio presente com função circunstancial. Com base nesses padrões, comprovamos a nossas hipóteses iniciais de que o particípio possui níveis escalares de significação de acordo com o seu contexto de aparição e de que tais níveis escalares partem da categoria do verbo para a categoria do adjetivo
In this research, we intend to describe various uses of the present participle in the comedies of Plautus (centuries. III-II. B.C.), under the view of some postulates of Functional Linguistics in its North American line. We propose an association between linguistic concepts explained in the texts of Latin authors and concepts of our theoretical support: the concepts of use, variation and change discussed by modern scholars were already present in the ancient manuals of rhetoric and grammar. We note that the participle was interpreted, according to ancient thought, as a word class distinct of the others, participating at the same time the nature of the verb and adjective. Even before the data analysis, we indicated several notes about the use of the present participle, guided by modern grammatical textbooks, in order to contrast the information with uses found in the comedy writer text. In a synchronic cut, we observe the participles always taking into account their context of use. We collect the samples in the 21 comedies, and based on them, we propose four functional standards: a) present participle with verbal function: b) present participle having individual functions; c) present participle with adjectival function; e) present participle with circumstantial function. Based on these patterns, we proved to our initial hypothesis that the participle has scalar levels of meaning, according to their appearance of context, and that such scalar levels range from the category of the verb for the category of adjective

Grande parte das gramáticas tradicionais normativas faz uma diferenciação bem marcada entre os modos verbais Indicativo e Subjuntivo: enquanto se considera o Indicativo o modo da certeza, atribui-se ao Subjuntivo o valor da incerteza, da hipótese. Todavia, há casos em que essa distinção não se manifesta tão segura, visto que em orações factuais nem sempre o Indicativo é utilizado, assim como os dois modos, por vezes, podem expressar falta de certeza (PERINI, 2009; 2010). Além disso, CAMARA JR. (2009: 280-281) assevera que “em português, como nas demais línguas românicas, o subjuntivo sofreu a interferência do indicativo e só aparece em determinados tipos frasais, por uma servidão gramatical”. É usado em contextos bem específicos, dentre os quais se destacam: oração independente depois do advérbio de dúvida talvez; oração integrante subordinada a verbos de significação volitiva ou optativa; oração adverbial que desenvolve uma concessividade, uma finalidade ou uma causalidade. Neste trabalho, sob a ótica da Sociolinguística Variacionista, investigou-se a variação entre o presente do indicativo e o presente do subjuntivo, nos referidos contextos sintáticos em que a prescrição gramatical preconiza o uso obrigatório do modo verbal subjuntivo. Assim, analisam-se casos em que, em maior ou menor grau, a expectativa de emprego do subjuntivo é contrariada, gerando enunciados de aceitabilidade duvidosa no âmbito da variante de prestígio do português. Para a consecução dos fins da pesquisa, realizaram-se testes sociolinguísticos de percepção e de produção com turmas iniciais e finais do segundo segmento do Ensino Fundamental e 3º ano do Ensino Médio, em seis escolas públicas e privadas dos municípios de Niterói e Itaboraí e analisaram-se produções textuais dos discentes dessas mesmas escolas. Consideraram-se estatisticamente relevantes as variáveis extralinguísticas tipo de escola, escolaridade e cidade e as variáveis linguísticas contexto sintático e pessoa gramatical com significância estatística. Constatou-se também que a variável contexto sintático pode ser descrita em um continuum, no qual as orações adverbiais de finalidade apresentam maior frequência de uso do subjuntivo, enquanto no polo oposto localizam-se as orações adverbiais de causalidade. Por fim, percebeu-se que a 1ª pessoa gramatical motiva o uso do indicativo, assim como alunos do 6º ano de escolaridade tendem a usar mais frequentemente esse modo verbal nos contextos de uso estudados
Many of the traditional normative grammars stablish a well-marked differentiation between Indicative and Subjunctive verbal modes. As the Indicative is considered the mode of certainty, the value of uncertainty, or hypothesis, is attributed to the Subjunctive. However, there are cases where this distinction doesn’t show itself as safe, as in factual clauses the Indicative is not always used, as well as the two modes, sometimes, can express lack of certainty (PERINI, 2009; 2010). In addition, CAMARA JR. (2009: 280-281) states that “in Portuguese, as in other Romanic languages, the subjunctive suffered the interference of the indicative and appears only in certain types of sentences, by a grammatical servitude”. It is used in very specific contexts, among which are: independent clause after the adverb of doubt perhaps; integral clause subordinated to verbs with volitional or optative signification; adverbial clause that develops a concession, a purpose or causality. In this work, from the perspective of variationist sociolinguistics, we investigated the variation between the present tense and the present subjunctive, in those syntactic contexts in which the grammatical prescription recognize to the compulsory use of the verbal mode subjunctive. Thus, we analyzed cases where, to a greater or lesser extent, the expected use of subjunctive is counteracted, creating statements of questionable acceptability under the scope of Portuguese prestigious variant. To the consecution that work, Sociolinguistic tests of perception and production are carried out with initial and final classes of primary education and the second cycle of secondary education in six schools – both the public and private types – in the cities of Niteroi and Itaborai and we analyzed textual productions of the students of those schools. We also consider the extra linguistic variables type of school, schooling and city and as linguistic variables, we considered syntactic context and grammatical person with statistical significance. We also contacted that the variable syntactic context can be described in a continuum which adverbial clauses of purpose had more signal subjunctive use, while at the opposite pole are located the adverbial clauses of causality. Finally, it is clear that the 1 st grammatical person motivates the use of the indicative, as well as students from 6th grade tend to use more often this way in the use of verbal contexts we studied

Full textA més de fer un inventari -unes 4.000 entrades- dels mots característics d'aquest parlar (mots exclusius del dialecte o que en el dialecte presenten una particularitat formal o semàntica), n'estudiem més específicament un miler, d'acord amb la següent estructura: Mot. Transcripció fonètica -sempre que ho creguem necessari-. Categoria gramatical. Significat. Àrea d'ús del mot (que ens permet de veure les concordances entre el parlar estudiat -del qual tenim informeció directa, de camp- amb els altres dialectes de la llengua -dels quals tenim información bibliogràfica: fonts lexicogràfiques, monografies dialectals-. Precisem amb (L), (F) o (S) si l'àrea assignada es refereix a l'extensió del lexema o de la variant formal o de la variant semàntica. Documentació antiga. Diccionaris (constatem 1"aparició o no del mot en els vocabularis específics de la zona o en els diccionaris valencians o generals). Vitalitat d'ús i documentació actual en textos escrits i en entrevistes orals. Etimologia.
El model d'estructura de les entrades que proposem creiem que podria servir de pauta per a futurs estudis monogràfics de cara a poder aprofitar al màxim la aportació que aquestes monografies suposen.
Per a la documentació dels mots ens hem basat en obres publicades i també en material inèdit que aportem, en forma d'edició critica, en els volums segon (documents escrits -textos que a més de l'interès lingüístic, tenen interès també per als historiadors orals, per als antropòlegs o per als etnòlegs-) i tercer (textos orals) d'aquesta tesi.
Dediquem també un capítol a analitzar en quina mesura l'ensenyament del català a l'escola tendeix a uniformar el lèxic en la zona objecte d'estudi cap al lèxic considerat estàndard. I un altre, a detectar les actituds interdialectals entre els parlants tortosins i els barcelonins.
Es tracta, doncs, d'un treball de dialectologia on emprem els mètodes tradicionals combinats amb els de la sociolingüística i els de l'antropologia.
L'anàlisi comparativa del vocabulari bàsic tortosí, valencià i nord-occidental respecte d'un inventari de mots bàsics (1.500) del català central, demostra la coincidència major amb el lèxic valencià que no pas amb el nord-occidental -tot i que en la classificació dialectal vigent el tortosí es considera un subdialecte d"aquest darrer-. Constatem també que -com era d"esperar- només un 11% del vocabulari bàsic tortosí és diferent del vocabulari bàsic general de l'inventari susdit.
Els criteris de selecció de mots que havien de constar en l'inventari ha estat el següent:
1) Criteri de propietat lèxica, pel qual s'inclouen mots que, essent netament catalans, es reserven a un ús literari o restringit (abellir, atansar, eixir, bla(n)), mentre que en el dialecte estudiat són d'ús comú.
2) Criteri de determinació de l'objecte: paraules del català general que en tortosí corresponen a objectes i significats diferents (llevar, moll)
3) Criteri d"especificitat semàntica. També s'inclouen mots que tenen una accepció molt precisa i, en aquests casos, només ens ocupem d'aquesta accepció i no de la més general.
4) Criteri d'exclusió formal: detectem els casos en què el tortosí empra una de les formes sinònimes esteses per tot el domini i exclou completamente l'altra. També aquest criteri ens serveix per incloure o no els castellanismes: si són l'únic mot emprat, l'incloem, si hi ha altres mots usuals, no.
5) Criteri de diversitat geogràfica en el sentit propi. S'inclouen paraules noves des de tots els punts de vista: (semer, enrònia, guaixar),
Hem pogut constatar la gran riquesa lexical del dialecte tortosí, que, com la major part dels dialectes catalans està en perill de pèrdua perquè els parlants tendeixen a la simplificació i a la substitució de mots genuïns per préstec de l'espanyol, o, en el millor dels casos, per l'equivalent estàndard.
Un inventari d'aquesta mena -on intentem de donar una forma escrita apta per al mot dialectal- creiem que, en l'etapa de normalització en què es troba el català, pot ser útil perquè molts mots són recuperables, sobretot si els escriptors estan segurs que és legítim d'emprar-los.
We consider the lexical characteristics of the Catalan dialect known as "tortosí" and which can be described as a transitional dialect between Northwest Catalan and Valencian.
In addition to presenting en inventory of approximately 4,000 terms characteristic of this speech area (words exclusive to the dialect or which present a formal or semantic peculiarity in the dialect), the thesis studies 1,000 terms in depth, according to the following structure, which is proposed as B model for lexical entries: "Word", "Phonetic transcription" (when necessary), "Grammatical category", "Meaning", "Geographic area" where used (which allows us to see similarities between the dialect under study, for which we have data from field work, and other Catalan dialects, for which we have published references such as lexicographic sources or dialect monographs. We use (L)/(F)/(S) to see if the assigned area refers to the extension of the lexeme or to the formal or semantic variant. "Old documents", "Dictionaries": we record the appearance or absence of the word lists specific to the area or in dictionaries of Valencian or of Catalan in general, "Degree of use" and current frequency in documents and oral interviews. "Etymology"
To document words, we have based ourselves on published works as well as on unpublished materials, which we present with annotations in the second (written documents) and third (transcription of oral passages) volumes of this dissertation.
We also dedicate a chapter to analyzing the way the teaching of Catalan in schools is tending to homogenize the lexicon in this area end make it more similar to that of the standard language.
Another chapter discusses the attitudes between speakers of the Tortosa dialect and speakers from Barcelona.
In sum this dissertation presents dialect work in a traditional framework combined with elements of sociolinguistic and anthropological methodology.
Comparative analysis of the basic vocabulary of "Tortosí", Valencian, and Northwestern Catalan with respect to the inventory of basic vocabulary (1,500 words) of Central Catalan indicates a higher degree of similarity with Valencian, as opposed to Northwestern Catalan, although the traditional dialect divisions classify "Tortosí" as a subdialect of Northwestern Catalan and not Valencian.
We record the tremendous lexical variety of this dialect which, as is the case for most Catalan dialects is in danger of disappearing because speakers autoctonous words with loans from Spanish, or from the standard dialect.

Cobalt has become more and more popular in the realms of academia, industry, and media due to its integral role in many of the most commonly-used lithium-ion battery cathodes today. Many issues have been evaluated regarding the controversial labor and volatile sociopolitical environments associated with cobalt mining and concerns over the ability of cobalt supply to continue to meet demand, especially the increasing demand due to the electric vehicle revolution. Cobalt is a critical element in a variety of products outside of the battery industry, including: superalloys, hard-facing metals, cutting tools, magnets, chemical catalysts, and pigments. In this thesis, I assessed the criticality of cobalt demand in non-battery sectors with the intention of assessing whether demand of cobalt in its traditional, inelastic sectors will supply be a limiting factor of technological progress by 2030 and by 2050. In order to do so, data was collected on the past and present demands of cobalt in its four primary sectors, outside of batteries: superalloys, cutting tools and hard-facing metals, magnets, and chemical catalysts. Future demand projections were made based on the historic data as well as via a bottom-up approach from industry projections for future product demand and cobalt intensity of products. Substitutes for cobalt in these applications were also investigated and are discussed below. The prices at which substitutes become more favorable than cobalt were also evaluated.

Full textThis article presents a panoramic and critical overview of isiXhosa lexicography and its impact on the intellectualisation of this indigenous South African language. The history of isi¬Xhosa lexicography dates back more than two centuries. However, there still exists a need for dic¬tionaries that serve the language-speaking community as practical tools for addressing diverse communication and learning-oriented needs in the current language policy dispensation. The Isi¬Xhosa National Lexicography Unit (XNLU) is currently working on dictionary projects that attempt to address this situation while at the same time not losing sight of the mandate that the Pan South African National Language Board (PanSALB) placed on all the National Lexicography Units (NLUs). For this to happen, the article argues that the NLU needs to put lexicographic prac¬tice into its historical perspective, i.e. conceiving dictionary projects in the light of existing diction¬aries and lexicographic traditions in the language. Over and above that, there is a need to take into account the recent developments in lexicographic research, adopt co-operative lexicographic prac¬tice and develop a dictionary culture among the isiXhosa-speaking community.
