Diagonal form factors and heavy-heavy-light three-point functions at weak coupling
No full textIn this paper we consider a special kind of three-point functions of HHL type at weak coupling in N = 4 SYM theory and analyze its volume dependence. At strong coupling this kind of three-point functions were studied recently by Bajnok, Janik and Wereszczynski. The authors considered some cases of HHL correlator in the su(2) sector and, relying on their explicit results, formulated a conjecture about the form of the volume dependence of the symmetric HHL structure constant to be valid at any coupling up to wrapping corrections. In order to test this hypothesis we considered the HHL correlator in su(2) sector at weak coupling and directly showed that, up to one loop, the finite volume dependence has exactly the form proposed in. Another side of the conjecture suggests that computation of the symmetric structure constant is equivalent to computing the corresponding set of infinite volume form factors, which can be extracted as the coefficients of finite volume expansion. In this sense, extracting appropriate coefficients from our result gives a prediction for the corresponding infinite volume form factors
Lapsed ja sõda. Sõjatrauma Tiina Kurnimi autobiograafias „Sõrve rahva elukeerdkäigud“ ja Ülo Tuuliku romaanis „Sõja jalus“ / Children and War. War trauma in Tiina Kurnim’s Ups and Downs in the Life of the People of Sõrve and Ülo Tuulik’s novel In the Way
No full textArtikkel uurib mäletamismustrit, mis joonistub välja kahes lapsepõlvekogemust vahendavas teoses, mille autorite lapsepõlv jäi Teise maailmasõja aastatesse: Tiina Kurnimi autobiograafias „Sõrve rahva elukeerdkäigud“ (2014) ja Ülo Tuuliku dokumentaalromaanis „Sõja jalus“ (1974; kärpimata versioon 2010). Nii Kurnim kui ka Tuulik vaatavad tagasi oma lapsepõlvele Saaremaal Sõrve säärel, kust sakslased evakueerisid 1944. aasta sügisel sunniviisiliselt suurema osa kohalikust elanikkonnast, nende hulgas Kurnimi ja Tuuliku ning nende perekonnad. Mõlemas teoses ilmneb selle sündmuse psühholoogiliselt traumeeriv mõju nii autoritele kui kogu Sõrve kogukonnale, mis võimaldab käsitleda neid teoseid tunnistusena.

The article poses the question what type of remembering patterns emerge in two works communicating childhood experiences whose authors’ childhood coincided with the years of WWII. Tiina Kurnim in her 2014 autobiography Ups and Downs in the Life of the People of Sõrve recalls her childhood on the Sõrve Peninsula on the island of Saaremaa, and the author Ülo Tuulik does the same in the novel In the Way of War, first published in 1974 (the unpurged version referred to in the article came out in 2010). Childhood is of a central importance in the development of all people, for early experiences affect a child’s ability to relate to others and the external world and to express their feelings, as well as their general development. The childhood experiences of Estonians born before WWII were fashioned to a signicifant degree by the war that undermined their sense of security, as did deportations, desctruction of homes, and economic difficulties that many families had to face after the war. The events of WWII, life changes caused by the war and experiences related to death and violence that have been conveyed as explicitly traumatic, also dominate in the first third of Kurnim’s autobiography in which the author takes a retrospective look at her childhood. Tuulik’s novel does not contain many personal childhood memories of the author, but uses memories of his parents and other people from Sõrve, diary excerpts and other documentary materials.
Kurnim’s autobiography and Tuulik’s documentary novel belong to the tradition of the literature of witnessing that emerged after WWII and was initiated in Estonian literature by Tuulik’s novel. Kurnim’s autobiography fills in the gaps in the events described in Tuulik’s novel of which Tuulik, who was four at the time, has only a few fragments of memory or that he cannot recall at all. The historical context of both works is the forced evacuation of the people of Sõrve by the Germans in the autumn of 1944 that they had to participate in as children. The people of Sõrve who went through the evacuation as children in retrospect interpret the event as a tragedy, consider themselves victims of Nazism and emphasise that no one would explain to the people what was expecting them. For many of the people of Sõrve the evacuation turned out to be a traumatic experience first and foremost because it hit them unexpectedly and caused fear, suffering and death.
It is a paradoxical that speaking of individual traumas related to WWII has been shunned in both European and Estonian memory cultures. Peter Leese has claimed that acknowledging the suffering of the victims of WII has been so complicated due to social and political stigmatisation that it has led to them being silenced and rendered invisible. Sophie Delaporte has suggested that war veterans have been silent about their suffering either because of their self-effacing stance and their inabiliy to voice their experiences, or lack of people who would have listened to them. The same can certainly also be claimed about other people who suffered in the war. In addition to the above, in Eastern European countries speaking of war-related traumatic experiences has also been hindered by the political circumstances: even if those victimised by the war had empathetic listeners whom they could tell of their suffering, fear of the power in office in the country made them prefer silence.
Both Kurnim’s autobiography and Tuulik’s novel sketch a similar pattern of recollections that is characteristic of traumatic victim memory; however, while the part of Kurnim’s autobiography that mediates childhood experiences is dominated by traumatic evidence of suffering, Tuulik’s novel is marked by a tone of accusation and reproach. In Kurnim’s autobiography the author recalls the most traumatic experiences of her childhood, bringing to the reader also the experiences of other children from Sõrve during WWII. She creates a detailed picture of the conditions in which hundreds of children deprived of parental care due to the war would find themselves, as well as of the trials that the war inflicted upon their family members and to the community as a whole. Kurnim’s autobiography as witnessing is characterised by the overlapping subject positions of witnessing and confession: the confessing self that speaks of the suffering that befell her as a child simultaneously fulfills the role of the witnessing self who is giving witness of the tragic events that befell their loved ones and their community.
Tuulik’s novel is a literary witness statement in which the autobiographical, documentary and fictional elements intermingle. The devastation of a year of his childhood seems to have had a deeply traumatic effect on the author, as does the scarcity of personal memories of the time. The moral dimension of Tuulik’s novel openes up in an attempt to construct memory and, on the level of poetics, through the confessions, reasonings and deliberations of the writer as a character in the novel, as well as in three episodes depicting premature deaths. The thematisation of the novel’s writing process demonstrates how Tuulik, while drawing on his own traumatic childhood experiences, explores the aesthetic and ethical limits of representing the sufferings of the people of Sõrve who found themselves in the way of war. He is engaged in such studies also on his memory trips to the island of Saaremaa and outside Estonia, in time and space, while attempting to maintain and protect the truth of the events that occurred on the Sõrve Peninsula during WWII. Tuulik’s novel as a piece of moral witnessing has been written with the aim to counter pain and fear, and first and foremost to fight forgetfulness; häving discussed the nature of war and its effects on the civilian population, at the end of the novel Tuulik reaches the conclusion that war crimes do not expire

No full textSažetak
Danas smo svjedoci iznimna ubrzanja djelatnosti istraživanja i razvoja u svim granama znanosti. To vrijedi za zaštitu okoliša, automobilsku industriju, a također i za naftnu industriju. Naš rad predstavlja jedan novi primjer kada se taj postupak usredotoči na usklađivanje nastojanja navedenih industrija u nekom određenom području. MOL Plc. je razvio proizvodnju motornog goriva jedinstvene kakvoće koje udovoljava svim zahtjevima zaštite okoliša, motornih vozila, a također i očekivanjima kupaca. Međutim, postizanje navedenih zahtjeva ovisi o nekoliko čimbenika, kao što su odgovarajuća konstrukcija motora, katalizator i formulacija motornoga goriva. Ovo potonje zadatak je naftne industrije koja mora postići ekonomičnu proizvodnju odgovarajućih goriva. Naša inovacija smjera ka razvijanju novog koncepta goriva koje će udovoljavati i najsloženijim zahtjevima. Osim konvencionalnih koraka razvoja goriva, uspostavili smo i proveli i nova laboratorijska i primjenska ispitivanja kako bismo poboljšali i optimizirali sastav goriva.
Uspjeli smo razviti 99-oktanski, nesumporni, visoko izoparafinski reformulirani benzin. Zahvaljujući svojem naročitom sastavu i sadržaju aditiva, MOL TEMPO 99 EVO osigurava izvrsnu vozivost i snagu, dugotrajnu stabilnost pohrane, čistije izgaranje, te nižu emisiju CO, CH i NOx. Štiti motor, te posjeduje odlična svojstva održavanja čistoće, čišćenja, zaštite od korozije i podmazivanja.Abstract
Nowadays we are witnessing an extraordinary acceleration of research and development activity in all branches of science. This is the situation in environmental protection, automotive industry and oil industry, too. Our paper introduces a new example when this process is focused on harmonisation of attempts of these industries in a specific field. MOL Plc. has designed the manufacture of a unique quality motor fuel that satisfies all needs of environmental protection, motor vehicles and customers’ expectation, too. However, the attainment of these requirements depends on several factors such as proper motor construction, after-treatment catalyst and the formulation of the motor fuel, too. The latter is the task of the oil industry producing the appropriate fuels economically. In our innovation we aimed at developing a new fuel concept meeting the most complex requirements. Beside the conventional steps of fuel development we established and applied new laboratory and application tests to improve and optimise fuel composition.
We succeeded in developing a 99 octane, sulphur-free, high isoparaffin reformulated gasoline. Based on its special composition and additive content MOL TEMPO 99 EVO provides excellent driveability and power, long storage stability, cleaner burning, lower CO, CH, NOx emissions. It protects engines with excellent keep clean, clean up, anticorrosion and lubricating effects
Sensibilities of the digital era. New media and future technologies in K-drama subgenre narratives
No full textThe presented article provides insight into the development of the SF tropes in K-dramas, pointing out the correlation between the technological discourses, narrative modifications, and the viewers’ expectations. The author focuses on three chosen titles – Crash Landing on You (Sarang-ui bulsichak), My Holo Love (Na Hollo Geudae), and Memories of the Alhambra (Alhambeura Gungjeonui Chueok) – which underline the differences between technological narratives in K-dramas. The dynamic development of K-drama subgenres indicates that the generic love story has to be accompanied by additional elements, building engaging and memorable background. There is a need for exciting surroundings transgressing the notions of probability and drifting into the fantastic or futuristic worlds. Focusing on the serialized representations of technological development, the author analyzes how K-drama anticipates the future and creates a new specter of cultural sensibilities.The presented article provides insight into the development of the SF tropes in K-dramas, pointing out the correlation between the technological discourses, narrative modifications, and the viewers’ expectations.

“Mis on möödas ega see ei kordu…” Kurt Eiskopi kirjad Edith Eiskopile aastaist 1940–1941 kui ajalootunnistaja tunnistus
No full textThis article examines the letters of a young Estonian man, Kurt Eiskop (1919–1944), to his beloved and future wife, Edith Eiskop (1919–1991). Kurt Eiskop’s 55 letters were handed over to the Estonian Cultural History Archives in 2022, as a result of the collection campaign “Letters in my life”, a competition organised cooperatively by the Estonian Life Stories Association and the archives. Most of the letters were written between 16 April 1940 and 29 June 1941, while Eiskop was doing his military service in the army of the Estonian Republic. In this article I consider his letters as a testimony of a historical witness, based on what he saw and experienced during the arrival of the Red Army forces in the Estonian Republic in June 1940 and its subsequent annexation. What interests me in Eiskop’s letters as testimony is, first and foremost, the author’s subjective experience, which can be seen in the way emotions are expressed in his letters. As is characteristic of love letters, the main topic of Eiskop’s letters is emotions – longing for the beloved and nostalgia for life before the army. In retrospect, the latter seems like a paradisaical idyll to him, while the present reality seems like being in prison. In addition to the expression of emotions, the subjective experience of the writer emerges in the letters through descriptions of everyday life in the army, which also contain the author’s thoughts, moods, and attitudes toward the new regime.
It emerges from Eiskop’s letters that service in the army of the Estonian Republic was disagreeable to him, as it separated him from his beloved and impeded their beginning a life together. The arrival of reinforcements of the Red Army in the Estonian Republic in June 1940 put the Estonian Army and those performing their military service there in a complicated situation: they had to get used to alienating new circumstances and rules; likewise there were fears that the war would spread to the Estonian territory and that soldiers would be sent to fight the war for the Soviet Union. In a politically complicated time, which also entailed complications for personal life, writing letters provided support and a way of sustaining relationship despite being apart. The letters Eiskop wrote to his beloved during his military service became a kind of refuge for him, a safe world, the creation of which was enabled by nostalgic memories. These are poeticised and idealised images of the past which provide comfort and strength, while intensifying his closeness to the addressee. It is interesting that in Eiskop’s letters nostalgia is not always unidirectionally aimed at the past, but some memories are bound to the author’s hopes and plans for the future. However, nostalgia is not the only emotion that Eiskop expresses in his moments of solitude. Eiskop’s letters are also filled with longing for the beloved, expressed by the author in bursts of emotion, sometimes more controlled, sometimes more expressive, in some letters also as desperation

Ⅷ. Appendix 13MasterThis paper develops a composite indicator of systemic stress (CISS) for Korea to enhance early warning of financial crisis. The index includes money, bond, equity, financial intermediaries, foreign exchange market based on Hollo, et al(2012). Especially in Korea, real estate accounts for high proportion of individual assets. Therefore, author propose to incorporate real estate market into index to reflect financial industry fully.
The methodology to aggregate subindices is application of portfolio theory considering time-varying cross correlations between subindices. To find out real impact on CISS, analysis is conducted when real estate market included or excluded.
It is important to forecast future value of CISS to prepare financial crises. In this paper, author uses Vector Autoregressive with other macro variables. Although it is less predictive than the infrequent leading economic index, it has a higher predictive power than other indexes that show financial instability
Oral motor functions, speech and communication before a definitive diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
No full textThe aim of this study was to explore the cranial nerve symptoms, speech disorders and communicative effectiveness of Finnish patients with diagnosed or possible amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at their first assessment by a speech-language pathologist. The group studied consisted of 30 participants who had clinical signs of bulbar deterioration at the beginning of the study. They underwent a thorough clinical speech and communication examination. The cranial nerve symptoms and ability to communicate were compared in 14 participants with probable or definitive ALS and in 16 participants with suspected or possible ALS. The initial type of ALS was also assessed. More deterioration in soft palate function was found in participants with possible ALS than with diagnosed ALS. Likewise, a slower speech rate combined with more severe dysarthria was observed in possible ALS. In both groups, there was some deterioration in communicative effectiveness. In the possible ALS group the diagnostic delay was longer and speech therapy intervention actualized later. The participants with ALS showed multidimensional decline in communication at their first visit to the speech-language pathologist, but impairments and activity limitations were more severe in suspected or possible ALS. The majority of persons with bulbar-onset ALS in this study were in the latter diagnostic group. This suggests that they are more susceptible to delayed diagnosis and delayed speech therapy assessment. It is important to start speech therapy intervention during the diagnostic processes particularly if the person already shows bulbar symptoms. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc.Peer reviewe
Beat Poetry in Finland in the 1960s
No full textEdited by A. Robert Lee.eBook ISBN: 9781315210278.International audienceThe poem had been introduced to Finland in a partial translation in 1959. Firstly, the appropriation of Beat literature in Finland has to be related to the internal evolution of the literary field of the country and especially to discussions of poetic discourse and the role of the poet. Among the Finnish poets, Anselm Hollo had the closest ties with American Beat authors. This creative appropriation and interpretation of Beat is particularly striking in the poem "Superman as Child". Superman in this respect is to be compared with the Prince Valiant, Heracles, and Ulysses mentioned later in the poem. The shared sense of restlessness driven by desire and/or despair and so characteristic of Beat as mapped by Ginsberg, here is adapted to Kejonen's own life and world. In "Divine Comedy I", Into attacks hypocrisy and sense of captivity that characterize the "system".ORCommenting on Pekka Kejonen’s poem “Other Howl” (“Toinen huuto,” 1965), Jorma Korpela, acclaimed modernist author and the then 22-year-old Kejonen’s mentor in literature, said he had never imagined someone so young could suffer so much (Kejonen 1994: 51). Reading Kejonen’s debut work Jam Session (Jamit, 1963), a collection of joyful and witty stories of young jazz musicians and teenagers in a provincial town in Finland during the late 1950s and early 1960s, one may indeed wonder whether life was as hard as depicted in the poem. It is true however, that the author was in permanent conflict with the authorities of his time, consuming alcohol and Pervitin—a methamphetamine used by the Finnish army during the war—in big quantities and living a restless bohemian life in the grey zone between literary salons and the gutter. He spent long periods in hospitals and asylums in forced rehabilitation before quitting drinking and drugs definitively in the 1970s. It is no wonder that Ginsberg’s “Howl,” characterized by Christopher Gair as “probably the best-known countercultural assault on the stultifying destruction of the individual by authoritarian surveillance and control” (Gair 2008: 71) and by Marjorie Perloff as having a sense of “displaced violence” (Perloff 2006: 41) at its core, intrigued Kejonen to the point that he appropriated it in his own work
Tieto riemua lisää : Suunnitelma lasten tietotuokioiden toteuttamiseksi kirjastoissa
No full textTässä työssä kehitän uutta lastenkirjastotyön muotoa, tietotuokiota. Idea on syntynyt omien, lapsiin liittyvien kokemusteni pohjalta, joita on kertynyt sekä työelämästä että oman lapsirikkaan lähipiirin parista. Tämän työn tuloksena syntyneet mallituokiot on suunniteltu kuusivuotiaille lapsille, mutta konseptia voidaan soveltaa eri ikäryhmille ja erityisryhmille.
Työ koostuu tietopohjasta, jonka avulla perustelen painettujen medioiden käyttöä tietotuokioiden toteuttamisessa. Tämän lisäksi tietotuokioissa on olennaista rauhallinen ajankäyttö, vuorovaikutteisuus sekä yhdessä tutkimisen ja oivaltamisen ilo. Edellä mainittuja perustelen erilaisilla kasvatusnäkemyksillä ja eri alojen tutkijoiden ajatuksilla koskien mielekästä ja hauskaa oppimista ja laajemmin mielekästä työelämää.
Tietoyhteiskunnan nopea kehitys muuttaa elämäntapaamme, ajankäyttöämme ja ajatteluamme. Tässä työssä tuon esiin näitä muutoksia muun muassa filosofin, aivotutkijan ja kasvatusammattilaisten silmin. Tuntien suunnittelua varten käytin hyväkseni ajatuksia hauskasta oppimisesta ja Ilon pedagogiikasta, sekä 1900-luvun alkupuolella vaikuttaneen Juho August Hollon kasvatusajatuksia, joista muun muassa lapsen kunnioitus, yhdessä kasvamisen ajatus ja huumorin kokoava voima innostivat minua paljon.
Tätä työtä tehdessä syntyneiden ajatusten myötä näen, että kirjaston tulevaisuuden roolit tulevat liittymään nimenomaan yhteisöllisyyteen, hauskaan oppimiseen ja rauhalliseen tiedon prosessointiin. Uskon, että tietotuokiot ovat yksi käyttökelpoinen menetelmä viedä kirjastoa tähän suuntaan. Seuraava päämääräni on lähteä viemään ideaa käytäntöön ja kehittää käytännön kokemusten kautta tietotuokioita eteenpäin. Tämän työn eri osa-alueet tarjoavat runsaasti jatkotutkimusaiheita liittyen muun muassa kirjastopedagogiikkaan ja kirjaston tulevaisuuden rooleihin.Rapid development of information society is changing our ways of life and the ways we use our time. It is also changing the way we think. In this study some of these changes from a philosopher`s, neuroscientist`s and educational professionals` point of view are discussed. In this thesis a new form of children’s library work, info flash is developed. This idea was created by the author based on experiences working with children. Although thematic examples of info flashes are designed for six-year-old children the concept can also be applied to different age groups together with groups with various needs.
Work consists of theoretical background, which is applied to argue the use of printed media in the implementation of info flashes. It is relevant to focus on the notions of tranquility, interactivity and the joy of studying together in the info flashes. The above-mentioned elements are argumented by various educational and pedagogical views. In addition to that, there is a multidisciplinary approach with an emphasis on fun learning and meaningful working life.
To plan info flashes, ideas about fun learning and Pedagogy of Joy are studied. The author was greatly influenced by educational ideas of Juho August Hollo, who emphasized respect towards children and the idea of growing together. He thought that humour is a significant force in children`s upbringing.
While completing this thesis, it became evident that library in the future is supposed to be a communal place of fun learning and slow processing of information. On the basis of this study, it can be concluded that info flashes constitute a practical approach to enhance these communal endeavours. The possible topic for further study could be to take the idea of info flashes into the practise and develop it forward. Other possible further research topics could be related to library pedagogy and the future roles of library
