On names in Mažuranić’s epic The Death of Smail-Agha Čengić (Smrt Smail-age Čengića)
Get PDFIako sam o leksikografskoj obradi Mažuranićeve pjesni Smrt Smail-age Čengića već pisao, ostalo je podosta toga o čemu još treba progovoriti. Tom dijelu pripada i rasprava o imenima u Mažuranićevoj Smrti. Ovo je, čini mi se, ponajbolja prigoda da se o tome prozbori u članku koji je posvećen Svečaru.Starting from his overall lexicographic approach to Mažuranić’s epic The Death of Smail-Agha Čengić, the author focuses his attention here on the analysis of its corpus of names. Most studies of the epic to date have not paid special attention to the onomastic material although it was partly incorporated into Benešić’s Dictionary of the Croatian Literary Language. The author believes that a dictionary of words used in an individual literary work or in complete works of an author, i.e. a Writer’s Dictionary, should contain all the words with their meanings, including proper names (anthroponyms, place names and ethnonyms), especially since proper names as a category do not rank very low on a frequency scale. Even if a name appeared only once in a given work (e.g. in Mažuranić’s The Death of Smail-Agha Čengić), it should nevertheless be included in a dictionary. In compiling a complete dictionary of Mažuranić’s poem The Death of Smail- Agha Čengić, the author has found that the poem contains slightly less than 6.000 words (including all word forms), or 1.661 headwords used in 1.134 verses and 5 cantos of the epic: Agovanje, Noćnik, Četa, Harač and Kob. The corpus contains approximately eighty forms of onomastic names and their adjectival derivations, which can be considered as onomastic headwords. The author lists names in the alphabetical order together with the number of their occurrences and variants (in brackets), thus presenting their collocations as well. They will subsequently be listed according to semantic categories and frequency
GAVELLA’S READER’S VIEW ON THE POEM DEATH OF SMAIL-AGA ČENGIĆ
Get PDFThis paper analyses Gavella’s essay called Poetic structure of Mažuranić’s Smail-aga (1961) which, based on the example of canonical literary text, summarizes the author’s principal and theoretical views about the relationship between literature and dramatic performance. Following his insight that dramatization of a literary text, in the first place, requires a reading-interpretative effort kept within the frames of textual analysis of linguistic material, the second part of this paper represents the reading of controversial textual points in Mažuranić’s poem in the light of Gavella’s interpretative guidelines. At the same time, metatextual signals are shown to be essential for understanding Smail-aga, the analysis of the correlation between narrator and author, the status of the storyteller, and the associated shift in understanding of poetic language from constative to performative
Testing the evolutionary link between submillimetre galaxies and quasars: CO observations of QSOs at z~2
Get PDFWe have used the IRAM Plateau de Bure millimetre interferometer and the UKIRT 1–5 μm Imager Spectrometer (UIST) to test the connection between the major phases of spheroid growth and nuclear accretion by mapping CO emission in nine submillimetre-detected QSOs at z= 1.7–2.6 with black hole (BH) masses derived from near-infrared spectroscopy. When combined with one QSO obtained from the literature, we present sensitive CO(3–2) or CO(2–1) observations of 10 submillimetre-detected QSOs selected at the epoch of peak activity in both QSOs and submillimetre (submm) galaxies (SMGs). CO is detected in 5/6 very optically luminous (MB∼−28) submm-detected QSOs with BH masses MBH≃ 109–1010 M⊙, confirming the presence of large gas reservoirs of Mgas≃ 3.4 × 1010 M⊙. Our BH masses and dynamical mass constraints on the host spheroids suggest, at face value, that these optically luminous QSOs at z= 2 lie about an order of magnitude above the local BH–spheroid relation, MBH/Msph, although this result is dependent on the size and inclination of the CO-emitting region. However, we find that their BH masses are ∼30 times too large and their surface density is ∼300 times too small to be related to typical SMGs in an evolutionary sequence. Conversely, we measure weaker CO emission in four fainter (MB∼−25) submm-detected QSOs with properties, BH masses (MBH≃ 5 × 108 M⊙), and surface densities similar to SMGs. These QSOs appear to lie near the local MBH/Msph relation, making them plausible ‘transition objects’ in the proposed evolutionary sequence linking QSOs to the formation of massive young galaxies and BHs at high redshift. We show that SMGs have a higher incidence of bimodal CO line profiles than seen in our QSO sample, which we interpret as an effect of their relative inclinations, with the QSOs seen more face-on. Finally, we find that the gas masses of the four fainter submm-detected QSOs imply that their star formation episodes could be sustained for ∼10 Myr, and are consistent with representing a phase in the formation of massive galaxies which overlaps a preceding SMG starburst phase, before subsequently evolving into a population of present-day massive ellipticals
Ivan Mažuranić and his Contribution to Croatian Literature: For the 170th Anniversary of the Epic Poem The Death of Smail-Age Čengić
Get PDFAutor daje osvrt na pjesnički rad Ivana Mažuranića (1814. – 1890.) istaknutog htvatskog književnika i političara rođenog u Novom Vinodolskom i poznatog kao ban-pučanin zbog svojeg neplemićkog porijekla. Članak je nastao u povodu nekoliko nedavnih obljetnica vezanih uz njegov život, 125 godina od njegove smrti (1890.) te 170 godina od nastanka njegovog najznačajnijeg knjiženog djela, epa „Smrt Smail-age Čengića“ (1845.). Bio je izuzetna osoba u kojoj se sjedinilo domoljblje, talent pjesnika i politička mudrost. Uspješno je nadopunio završne dijelove Gundulićeva djela „Osman“ i pritom oživio autentičan Gundulićev pjesnički stil. Pjesništvom se intenzivno bavio tijekom jednog desetljeća, od 1835. do 1845. kada nastaje ep „Smrt Smail-age Čengića“. Pisao je o ljudskom nasilju i oholosti, a u književnom i političkom djelovanju nadahnula ga je borba Iliraca za uvođenje hrvatskog kao službenog jezika u Hrvatskom saboru 1847. godine.The author presents an overview of the work of Ivan Mažuranić (1814-1890) the prominent Croatian writer and politician born in Novi Vinodolski and famous as ban-commoner due to his non-aristocratic origin. The article was written upon the occasion of the recent anniversaries connected to his life, 125 years since his death (1890) and 170 years from the creation of his most important literally work, the epic poem ‘The Death of Smail-Age Čengić’ (1845).He was an exceptional person in whom patriotism, a talented poet and political wisdom were all combined. He successfully completed the final parts of Gundulić’s work ‘Osman’ and in doing so revived Gundulić’s authentic poetic style. He dealt intensively with poetry for a decade, from 1835 to 1845 when the epic poem ‘The Death of Smail-Age Čengić’ was created. He wrote about human violence and arrogance, and in literally and political activities the fight of the Illyrians for the introduction of Croatian to be the official language in the Croatian parliament in 1847 inspired him

Strategies of Enunciative Erasure and Position Taken by the Author-Researcher Case of Doctoral Student Articles
No full textThe main purpose of this article is to examine the construction of authorship in scientific articles written by Algerian doctoral students. We focused on the personal subject pronouns (nous and on) as the main mark of the expression of subjectivity, trying to see how the identity of the author is constituted in the texts of these young researchers. The observations indicates tyhat,dispite the requirement of objectvity that caracterireres the discursive genre in research,the writings of doctotoral studients continue to include markers of the first person. This usage diffes from that found in common dicoure, suggesting a particular construction of authorial identityLe propos principal de ce présent article est d’examiner la construction de l’identité d’auteur dans les articles scientifiques écrits par des doctorants algériens.Nous nous sommes concentrées sur les pronoms personnels sujets (nous et on) comme la principale marque de l’expression de la subjectivité, en essayant de voir comment se constitue l’identité de l’auteur dans les textes de ces jeunes chercheurs. Les observations indiquent que, malgré l’exigence de l’objectivité qui caractérise le genre discursif en recherche, les écrits des doctorants continuent s’inclurent des marques de la première personne. Cet emploi se différencie de celui que l’on trouve dans le discours commun,ce qui indique une construction particulière de l’identité auctorial
Comparison of Lauritzen-Spiegelhalter and successive restrictions algorithms for computing probability distributions in Bayesian networks
Get PDF© 2016 Author(s). The basic task of any probabilistic inference system in Bayesian networks is computing the posterior probability distribution for a subset or subsets of random variables, given values or evidence for some other variables from the same Bayesian network. Many methods and algorithms have been developed to exact and approximate inference in Bayesian networks. This work compares two exact inference methods in Bayesian networks-Lauritzen-Spiegelhalter and the successive restrictions algorithm-from the perspective of computational efficiency. The two methods were applied for comparison to a Chest Clinic Bayesian Network. Results indicate that the successive restrictions algorithm shows more computational efficiency than the Lauritzen-Spiegelhalter algorithm
How current is western Marxism?
Get PDFOsnovna teza članka glasi da je kasni Engels u razračunavanju s Marxovom kritikom političke ekonomije razvio pristup za teoriju građansko-kapitalističkog društva, unutar kojega je s jedne strane novcu, odnosno njegovoj akumulaciji u kapitalu, u potpunosti pridan konstitutivni značaj za tu društvenu formaciju, a time i intrinzična funkcija u duhu politike moći, a s druge strane u obzir uzet vrijednosno-racionalni aspekt građanskoga prava. Engels izbjegava monizam Marxova Kapitala tako da analizira sistemsku isprepletenost kapitalističkog tržišta s državnom administracijom od početka novoga vijeka do svojega vremena te pritom konstatira normativan napredak. Autorova je teza da njegova pojašnjenja unatoč svom fragmentarnom karakteru pokazuju dalekosežne veze s Weberovom teorijom novca i njegovim razumijevanjem modernog procesa racionalizacije. Autor izlaže svoju tezu kroz kontrast Engelsovog nasuprot Marxovu pristupu, te kasnijem razvoju ovih tema u radovima Lukácsa, Horkheimera, Adorna i Habermasa.The core argument of the article is that Engels in his late thought dealing with Marx’s critique of political economy developed an approach to theory of bourgeois capitalist society, Within this society, on the one hand, the money and its accumulation through capital has a constitutive role of social formation and intrinsic function of creating political power. On the other hand, this theory develops rational value aspect of bourgeois law. Engels avoids the monism of Marx’s The Capital by analyzing systemic relationship between capitalist market and state administration from the beginning of modern age to his own time and noticing a progress in this relationship. Author maintains that, despite the fragmented character of Engels’s theory, it shows a connection with Weber’s theory of money and his understanding of modern process of rationalization. Author develops his thesis by contrasting Engels’s approach to that of Marx and later development of these themes in works of Lukács, Horkheimer, Adorna and Habermasa
Evropska ekonomska zajednica i izmijenjene uloge transporta
No full textThe author first reviews the correlation of transport factor and distribution of production in Europe, to subsequently point out the problems originating in the sector of transport in relation to the process of economic integration in Europe after the year 1992. The author reminds of the inevitability of introduction of a common transport system and a common transport policy in Europe which cannot proceed either in a smooth or a simple manner. Unless our country accepts this concept we shall witness a specific isolation which we cannot afford.</p
Environment and self-regulation in galaxy formation
Get PDFThe environment is known to affect the formation and evolution of galaxies considerably best visible through the well-known morphology–density relationship. It is less clear, though, whether the environment is equally important at a given galaxy morphology. In this paper, we study the effect of environment on the evolution of early-type galaxies as imprinted in the fossil record by analysing the stellar population properties of 3360 galaxies morphologically selected by visual inspection from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in a narrow redshift range ( 0.05 ≤z≤ 0.06 ). The morphological selection algorithm is critical, as it does not bias against recent star formation. We find that the distribution of ages is bimodal with a strong peak at old ages and a secondary peak at young ages around ∼2.5 Gyr containing about 10 per cent of the objects. This is an analogue to 'red sequence' and 'blue cloud' identified in galaxy populations usually containing both early- and late-type galaxies. The fraction of the young, rejuvenated galaxies increases with both decreasing galaxy mass and decreasing environmental density up to about 45 per cent, which implies that the impact of environment increases with decreasing galaxy mass. The rejuvenated galaxies have lower α/Fe ratios than the average and most of them show signs of ongoing star formation through their emission line spectra. All objects that host active galactic nuclei in their centres without star formation are part of the red sequence population. We confirm and statistically strengthen earlier results that luminosity weighted ages, metallicities and α/Fe element ratios of the red sequence population correlate well with velocity dispersion and galaxy mass. Most interestingly, however, these scaling relations are not sensitive to environmental densities and are only driven by galaxy mass. We infer that early-type galaxy formation has undergone a phase transition a few billion years ago around z∼ 0.2 . A self-regulated formation phase without environmental dependence has recently been superseded by a rejuvenation phase, in which the environment plays a decisive role possibly through galaxy mergers and interactions
