Avtobiografija, potopis, avtobiografska potopisna in fiktivna proza Alme Karlin
No full textThe Autobiography, Travelogue, Autobiographical Travelling and Fictional Prose of Alma Karlin
The article defines the literary work of Alma Karlin by genre. She was a writer from Celje that wrote in German. Between the two world wars, she was a famous and a very popular author. In Yugoslavia, after the Second World War, she was disregarded and ignored as a “German” author. The article divides her prose into autobiography, travelogue, and fiction. From the standpoint of literary science, Alma Karlin’s prose had been unexplored for a long time. In the article, her examples are analyzed in the European context. Alma Karlin is presented as a double, intercultural, German-Slovenian identity.Članek zvrstno opredeljuje literarno delo Alme Karlin, pisateljice iz Celja, ki je pisala v nemščini, bila v obdobju med obema svetovnima vojnama zelo znana in priljubljena avtorica, po drugi svetovni vojni pa v Jugoslaviji kot »nemška« zamolčana in zanikovana. V članku je njena proza razdeljena na avtobiografijo, potopis, avtobiografsko potopisno in fiktivno prozo. Proza Alme Karlin je bila dolgo literarnovedno neraziskana. V članku so analizirani njeni vzorčni primeri in uvrščeni v evropski kontekst. Alma Karlin je predstavljena kot dvojna, medkulturna, nemško-slovenska pisateljska identiteta

Jezik in slog v delih Alme M. Karlin
No full textAlma Maksimiliana Karlin (1889–1950) was born in Celje 130 years ago. Since the mid 1920s, she was considered an important world traveler and by the end of World War II Alma Karlin became a very popular and notable German writing author. The volume provides research findings on the linguistic and stylistic aspects as well as some others specific features of Karlin’s literary heritage. The papers are classified according to theoretical, methodological and empirical background and devided into three sections. The contributions in the first part discuss the possibilities of different ap-proaches to studing literary and aesthetic characteristics in Karlin’s select-ed works. Dejan Kos (Maribor) illustrates how Alma M. Karlin’s texts are characterized by an empathetic tendency to transcend the boundaries of her own world through aesthetics and spirituality. The discussion by Sylvia Brä-sel (Erfurt) shows that Karlin does not merely convey knowledge about the world and reflects on entertaining, foreign, and exotic, but also systematically re-presents herself. Alenka Jensterle-Doležal (Prague) describes the ways in which women’s roles and identities are constructed in the novel Svetlikanje v mraku. The analysis of style and language reveals that the author critically asseses woman’s life in a patriarchal society, while advocating racist judgments and prejudices of the time. The article by Melania Larisa Fabčič (Maribor) focuses on Karlin’s autobiography and her style, which is primarily constructed through reflection of emotions, recognized by the reader even when the text does not explicitly demonstrate them. The texts in the second part focus on different approaches of Alma M. Karlin’s textual style. Vida Jesenšek (Maribor) transparently presents the complexity of the author’s style. By implying linguistic, pragmatic and cognitive aspects, the research identifies the connections and mutual correlations between general principles of text’s structure, specific stylistic »meanings« and substantive textual aspects. Inge Pohl (Schwieberdingen) presents the first comprehensive linguistic analysis of the novel Windlichter des Todes, focusing on the archi-tectonic, structure and composition of literary characters and highlightening the function of the narrative perspective and the narrative structure. One of the most outstanding feautres of Alma M. Karlin’s literary texts is conveing emotions. In her research, Hana Bergerová (Ústí nad Labem) demonstrates that Karlin’s describes emotions in different, explicit and implicit, ways. The papers in the third part examine the creative use of language in Alma M. Karlin’s selected works. The reader notices linguistic creativity when rec-ognizing those linguistic meanings or devices in a text which seem unusual, unexpected, or deviating from expected. Urška Valenčič Arh (Ljubljana) studies the use of phraseological expressions in Der blaue Mond’s and compares the original to the Slovene translation. Alja Lipavic Oštir (Maribor) resarches travel texts with a particular emphasis on geographical names. Simona Štavbar (Ma-ribor) proceeds from the assumption that Karlin’s geobiographical texts contain evaluating statements which reinforce social prejudices. It is not surprising, therefore, that there are numerous euphemisms and dysphisms which Karlin uses to »indirectly« denote things, people, and events, concealing or empha-sizing certain judgments. Karlin’s creativity is also reflected in the effective use of word-formations. Inge Pohl (Schwieberdingen) studies neologisms in the novel Windlichter des Todes and describes the word-forming patterns used by Karlin to attract readers’ attention but which also demonstrate her exceptional knowledge of German. The volume offers a scholarly insight into a number of previously unexplored topics related to language and style of Alma M. Karlin’s literary works and outlines possibilities for further researches.Pred 130 leti se je v Celju rodila Alma Maksimiliana Karlin (1889–1950), po-membna svetovna popotnica in zelo brana ter priljubljena slovenska pisateljica, pesnica in publicistka, ki je svoja dela objavljala v nemškem jeziku. Prispevki v monografiji analizirajo in prikazujejo jezikovne in slogovne značilnosti ter posebnosti literarnega ustvarjanja Alme M. Karlin. Razprave so razvrščene v tri vsebinske razdelke glede na teoretska, metodološka in empirična izhodišča. Besedila v prvem delu monografije nakazujejo različne pristope k preučevanju literarno-estetskih posebnosti. Dejan Kos (Maribor) ponazarja, kako besedila Alme M. Karlin zaznamuje empatična težnja po preseganju meja lastnega sveta s pomočjo estetike in duhovnosti. Razprava Sylvie Bräsel (Erfurt) teme-lji na pregledu izbranih besedil z vzhodnoazijsko tematiko. Prikazano je, da Karlinova s pisanjem posreduje védenje o svetu, razvedrilno prikazuje tuje, eksotično in pri tem sistematično ter ciljno gradi svojo samopodobo. Alenka Jensterle-Doležal (Praga) predstavlja roman Svetlikanje v mraku in prikaže načine, kako so v romanu oblikovane ženske vloge in identitete. Analiza pripovednega sloga, samosvoje metaforike in groteskno-nenavadnih primer kaže, da Karlinova kritično ocenjuje življenjsko okolje ženske v patriarhalni družbi, obenem pa zagovarja tedanje rasistične predsodke. Melanija Larisa Fabčič (Maribor) razpravlja o njeni literarnosti pisateljičine avtobiografije, ki je povezana z ubesedovanjem emocij. Prispevek dokazuje, da logično‑semantično sklepanje bralcev omogoča njihovo prepoznavanje tudi takrat, ko površinska podoba besedila izrecnih poimenovanj emocij ne izkazuje. Prispevki v drugem delu monografije prikazujejo različne pristope, s katerimi lahko jezikoslovno proučujemo literarna besedila. Vida Jesenšek (Maribor) pregledno predstavi kompleksnost in raznolikost besedilnega sloga. Če ga analiziramo z jezikoslovnih, pragmatičnih in spoznavnih vidikov in ga razume-vamo v relacionalnem smislu, lahko razumemo povezave in soodvisnosti med splošnimi načeli besedilnega oblikovanja, posebnimi slogovnimi »sredstvi« in vsebinskimi besedilnimi značilnostmi. Inge Pohl (Schwieberdingen) podaja prvi celoviti jezikoslovni opis dela Windlichter des Todes. Izpostavi funkcij-skost pripovedne perspektive in pripovednostrukturno realizacijo tematike. K temeljnim značilnostim večine literarnih besedil Alme M. Karlin sodijo načini ubesedovanja čustev in njihovo vzbujanje pri bralcih. Hana Bergerová (Ústí nad Labem) obravnava dve geobiografski besedili s toposom ‘Južno morje’ in dokazuje, da Karlinova dosega čustvenost na različne načine. Odvisno od funkcije besedila in želenih učinkov pri bralcih se odloča za eksplicitne in implicitne oblike ubesedovanja čustev, pri tem pa izrablja različne ravnine oz. sestavine jezikovnega sistema. Razprave v tretjem delu monografije preučujejo ustvarjalno rabo jezika pri Almi M. Karlin. Bralec opazi jezikovno ustvarjalnost, ko posamezna jezi-kovna sredstva ali načine ubesedovanja občuti in dojema kot nenavadne, nepričakovane, odstopajoče od običajnega. Urška Valenčič Arh (Ljubljana) proučuje rabo frazeoloških izrazov v delu Der blaue Mond in jo primerja s slovenskim prevodom. Zanima jo sporočanjska in umetniška ustreznost prevoda posameznih leksikalno-skladenjskih enot. Ugotavlja, da Karlinova frazeološke izraze skladno z besedilnimi funkcijami tudi smiselno prenavlja. Alja Lipavic Oštir (Maribor) raziskuje zemljepisna imena in uvodoma predstavi njihovo vlogo v besedilih. Zemljepisno lastno‑ in občoimenskost povezuje z besedilnimi lastnostmi oz. s pisateljičinimi sporočanjskimi namerami, oboje pa obravnava glede na postopke prevajanja, parafraziranja in metaforizacije, ki jih Karlinova v besedilu udejanja. Simona Štavbar (Maribor) domneva, da geobiografska besedila Alme M. Karlin vsebujejo vrednotenjske izjave in utr-jujejo družbene predsodke. Karlinova s številnimi evfemizmi in disfemizmi, s katerimi stvari, ljudi in dogodke »posredno« poimenuje, prikriva ali poudarja vrednostne sodbe. Koncepti/pojmovna polja ‘rasa’, ‘spol’, ‘prostitucija’ in ‘tabu’ so pri Karlinovi pogosto olepšanipisateljica z njihovo različno rabo posredno ubeseduje tudi lastne vrednostne sodbe in nazore. Alma M. Karlin učinkovito izrablja besedotvorne možnosti nemškega jezika. Inge Pohl (Schwieberdingen) proučuje ustvarjalno rabo priložnostnih tvorjenk (okazionalizme) v romanu Windlichter des Todes. Dokazano je, da so okazionalizmi funkcionalno po-membni ‒ na bralca učinkujejo (predvidoma) na poseben način (emocionali-zacija, dramatizacija, vzbujanje asociativnih povezav, jezikovna ekonomija), Almi M. Karlin pa omogočajo samopredstavitev, saj z njimi dokazuje, da izvrstno obvlada jezik. Monografija obravnava doslej neraziskana področja, ki so povezana z jezikov-no-slogovno podobo literarnih del Alme M. Karlin. Odpira nova pomembna raziskovalna vprašanja o jeziku in slogu Alme M. Karlin in spodbuja nadaljnji znanstveni razmislek

J/psi Elliptic Flow in Pb-Pb Collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV
No full textWe report on the first measurement of inclusive J/psi elliptic flow v(2) in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. The measurement is performed with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range 2.5 < y < 4.0. The dependence of the J/psi v(2) on the collision centrality and on the J/psi transverse momentum is studied in the range 0 <= p(T) < 10 GeV/c. For semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV, an indication of nonzero v(2) is observed with a largest measured value of v(2) = 0.116 +/-0.046(stat) +/- 0.029(syst) for J/psi in the transverse momentum range 2 <= p(T) < 4 GeV/c. The elliptic flow measurement complements the previously reported ALICE results on the inclusive J/psi nuclear modification factor and favors the scenario of a significant fraction of J/psi production from charm quarks in a deconfined partonic phase
Soluble tau species, not neurofibrillary aggregates, disrupt neural system integration in a tau transgenic model
No full textNeurofibrillary tangles are a feature of Alzheimer disease and other tauopathies, and although they are generally believed to be markers of neuronal pathology, there is little evidence evaluating whether tangles directly impact neuronal function. To investigate the response of cells in hippocampal circuits to complex behavioral stimuli, we used an environmental enrichment paradigm to induce expression of an immediate-early gene, Arc, in the rTg4510 mouse model of tauopathy. These mice reversibly overexpress P301L tau and exhibit substantial neurofibrillary tangle deposition, neuronal loss, and memory deficits. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization to detect Arc messenger RNA, we found that rTg4510 mice have impaired hippocampal Arc expression both without stimulation and in response to environmental enrichment; this likely reflects the combination of functional impairments of existing neurons and loss of neurons. However, tangle-bearing cells were at least as likely as non-tangle-bearing neurons to exhibit Arc expression in response to enrichment. Transgene suppression with doxycycline for 6 weeks resulted in increased percentages of Arc-positive cells in rTg4510 brains compared with untreated transgenics, restoring enrichment-induced Arc messenger RNA levels to that of wild-type controls despite the continued presence of neurofibrillary pathology. We interpret these data to indicate that soluble tau contributes to impairment of hippocampal function, although tangles do not preclude neurons from responding in a functional circuit
J/psi production and nuclear effects in p-Pb collisions at=5.02 TeV
No full textInclusive J/psi production has been studied with the ALICE detector in p-Pb collisions at the nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy = 5.02 TeV at the CERN LHC. The measurement is performed in the center of mass rapidity domains 2.03 < y (cms) < 3.53 and -4.46 < y (cms) < -2.96, down to zero transverse momentum, studying the mu (+) mu (-) decay mode. In this paper, the J/psi production cross section and the nuclear modification factor R (pPb) for the rapidities under study are presented. While at forward rapidity, corresponding to the proton direction, a suppression of the J/psi yield with respect to binary-scaled pp collisions is observed, in the backward region no suppression is present. The ratio of the forward and backward yields is also measured differentially in rapidity and transverse momentum. Theoretical predictions based on nuclear shadowing, as well as on models including, in addition, a contribution from partonic energy loss, are in fair agreement with the experimental result
