The language of the Mafia in the Italian TV series Squadra antimafia - Palermo oggi
No full textIl tema di questa tesi di laurea è il linguaggio della mafia nella serie tv italiana Squadra antimafia – Palermo oggi. In primo luogo, si è domandati in che cosa consista questo linguaggio e se sia legittimo chiamarlo tale. Inoltre, si è parlato della voce ‘mafia’, delle origini sia della parola in sé sia della mafia come organizzazione criminale. È stato fatto un accenno alla storia dell’organizzazione mafiosa Cosa Nostra che opera in Sicilia ma anche in America. In più, è stata data anche la rappresentazione della struttura gerarchica all’interno di Cosa Nostra. Dopo aver tracciato un quadro generale del fenomeno mafioso, si è passati al nucleo della tesi, ovvero all’analisi del linguaggio di cui usufruiscono i mafiosi nelle serie. Attraverso vari esempi si è potuto vedere come parla un mafioso nella serie: usando impliciti, metafore, allegorie e frasi evocative. L’accento è stato posto sull’oralità ma un po’ di spazio è stato dedicato anche alla comunicazione via pizzini e a quella non verbale. Inoltre, sono stati elencati e analizzati i soprannomi di alcuni mafiosi risultati importanti in quanto i soprannomi hanno una valenza linguistica e si comportano allo stesso tempo come denotatori e connotatori. In fine, è stato fatto un breve glossario contenente termini usati nella serie del campo semantico relativo alla mafia.Tema ovog diplomskog rada jest jezik mafije u televizijskoj seriji Squadra antimafia - Palermo oggi. Na samom početku postavilo se pitanje od čega se taj jezik sastoji i je li uopće legitimno nazvati ga jezikom. U nastavku bilo je govora o leksemu 'mafija', o podrijetlu riječi te o mafiji kao zločinačkoj organizaciji. Nadalje, napravio se kratak uvid u povijest mafijaške organizacije Cosa Nostra koja djeluje na Siciliji, ali i u Americi. Također, napravljen je i prikaz hijerarhijske strukture unutar Cosa Nostre. Nakon prikaza opće slike mafijaškog fenomena, prelazi se na srž rada, odnosno na analizu jezika kojim se mafija služi u televizijskoj seriji. Kroz razne primjere bilo je moguće vidjeti kako mafijaš govori u istoj: koristeći implicitne izraze, metafore, alegorije i evokativne rečenice. Naglasak je stavljen na oralnost, no dio prostora posvećen je i komunikaciji putem pizzina te neverbalnoj komunikaciji. Pored toga, navedeni su i analizirani nadimci nekih mafijaša koji su se pokazali važnima zbog svoje jezične vrijednosti te jer se istodobno ponašaju kao denotatori i konotatori. Na samom kraju napravljen je kratak pojmovnik koji sadrži izraze korištene u seriji, a koji pripadaju semantičkom polju mafije.The subject of this thesis is the language of the mafia in the TV series Squadra antimafia - Palermo oggi. First, it was necessary to specify what this language consists of and whether it was legitimate to denominate it as such. Following, there was mention of the word 'mafia', as well as its origins and mafia as a criminal organization. One chapter was dedicated to the history of the Mafia organization Cosa Nostra which operates in Sicily but also in America. The representation of the hierarchical structure within the Cosa Nostra was also given. After offering a general picture of the mafia phenomenon, we moved on to the core of the thesis – the analysis of the language used by the Mafia in the series. Through various examples, it was possible to see how a mafioso speaks: using implicit expressions, metaphors, allegories and evocative sentences. The emphasis was placed on orality but a little space was also dedicated to communication via pizzini and non-verbal communication. Besides, we have listed and analysed the nicknames of some mafiosos, which have shown importance because of their linguistic values and because they simultaneously act as denotators and connotators. In the end, a short glossary was made containing terms used in the semantic field of mafia
The Influence of Concentration with a Membrane Process of Nanofiltration on the Aroma Compounds of Cabernet Sauvignon Wine
No full textAroma predstavlja jedan od najvažnijih parametara za određivanje kvalitete vina. Spojevi arome koji su odgovorni za miris vina hlapivi su pri sobnoj temperaturi. Oni nastaju i mijenjaju se kroz sve faze procesa proizvodnje vina: od zrenja grožđa do fermentacije mošta te odležavanja vina. U svrhu korekcije aromatskog profila vina vrlo često se primjenjuje postupak koncentriranja vina nanofiltracijom. Stoga, cilj ovog rada je bio ispitati utjecaj koncentriranja crnog vina Cabernet Sauvignon nanofiltracijom na aromatski profil dobivenih retentata. Postupak koncentriranja proveden je na membranskom filteru s pločastim modulom primjenom četiri različita tlaka (25, 35, 45 i 55 bara) te dva temperaturna režima (s i bez hlađenja). Rezultati su pokazali da su primijenjeni procesni parametri, tlak i temperatura, imali značajan utjecaj na zadržavanje spojeva arome u vinskim retentatima. Procesi bez hlađenja rezultirali su određenim gubitkom pojedinih aromatskih spojeva u retentatima u odnosu na početno vino i retentate dobivene koncentriranjem s primjenom hlađenja. Veće zadržavanje spojeva arome u retentatima postignuto je i primjenom višeg tlaka. Iz tog razloga, najveće zadržavanje aromatskih tvari zabilježeno je u retentatu dobivenom postupkom nanofiltracije na 55 bar uz hlađenje.Wine aroma represents one of the most important quality parameter. The aroma compounds responsible for the wine odour are volatile at room temperature. They are formed and changed through all stages of the wine production process: from grape ripening to must fermentation and wine aging. In order to correct the aroma profile of wine, concentration of wine by nanofiltration could be applied. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of Cabernet Sauvignon red wine concentration by nanofiltration on the aroma profile of the obtained retentates. The concentration procedure was performed on a plate-and-frame membrane filter using four different pressures (25, 35, 45 and 55 bar) and two temperature regimes (with and without cooling). The results showed that the applied process parameters, had a significant impact on the retention of aroma compounds in wine retentates. Processes without cooling resulted in a certain loss of individual aroma compounds in the retentates comparing to the untreated wine and retentates obtained by concentration with the application of cooling. Greater retention of volatile compounds in retentates was also achieved by applying higher pressure. For this reason, the highest retention of aroma compunds was recorded in the retentate obtained by the nanofiltration process at 55 bar with cooling
Sugar alcohols (polyols)
No full textŠećer je neizostavan sastojak hrane, međutim pretjerana konzumacija istoga uzrokuje brojne štetne učinke za organizam, kao što su debljanje, pojavu karijesa, dijabetesa itd. Saharoza je od davnina poznata kao najviše upotrebljavani šećer u kućanstvu i u industriji. Međutim, u današnje vrijeme ljudi i industrija posežu za alternativnim prirodnim i umjetnim šećerima, kako zbog boljih tehnoloških svojstava, tako i zbog manje nutritivne i kalorijske vrijednosti. Jedni od nutritivnih sladila su i polioli, koji imaju 50 % manju energetsku vrijednost od saharoze te se zbog toga mogu kombinirati s drugim niskokaloričnim sladilima što rezultira ukusnim manje kaloričnim proizvodima. Zbog niza dobrih karakteristika kao što su stabilnost pri visokim temperaturama, ugodan i neutralan okus, otpornost na djelovanje bakterija, polioli se, osim kao sladila, upotrebljavaju kao emulgatori, krioprotektori, sredstva za stabiliziranje i vezanje vlage. Najčešće upotrebljavani su isomalt, laktitiol, maltitiol, manitol, sorbitol, ksilitol i eritrol, koji su opisani u ovome radu.Sugar is an infallible food ingredient, however the exaggerated usage of latter causes numerous harmful effects for the organism, such as obesity, caries appearance, diabetes etc. Sucrose has been always known as the most used sugar in domestic and industry activities. However, nowadays people and industry take alternative species of natural and artificial sugars because of better technologic properties and less nutritious and calorie value. One of the nutritious sweeteners is polyol which has 50% less energy value than sucrose, thus they can be combined with other low-calorie sweeteners which results low-calorie, but tasty products. Because of series of good characteristics such as stability at high temperatures, pleasant and neutral taste, resistance against bacterial activities, polyols are used, besides as sweeteners, as emulgents, cryoprotectans and as a medium for stabilization and connection of humidity. The most used are isomalt, lactitiol, maltitiol, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol and erytrol, which are elaborated in this research
Translation and traductological analysis of a short story «Поэт и муза» written by Tatyana Tolstaya
No full textТема данной дипломной работы - перевод и анализ перевода рассказа Татьяны Толстой «Поэт и муза». После того, что познакомили читателя с этой современной русской писательницей очень интересного стиля написания, явился следствием анализ перевода. В анализе объясняется с какими переводческими трансформациями переводчик может пользоваться при переводе и приводятся примеры из рассказа. Кроме того, одна глава посвящена переводу реалий. Учитывая, что реалии - это понятия, характерные для определенной культуры и народ, их перевод представляет собой проблему для переводчика, но также и вызов. Теоретики перевода посвятили много трудов данной теме, предлагая свои стратегии и давая предлоги о том, как лучше всего перенести «несуществующее» в культуру ПЯ. Помимо реалий, в последней главе, говорилось и о метафорах, перевод которых тоже является непростой задачей для переводчика.Tema ovog diplomskog rada jest prijevod i traduktološka analiza pripovijetke Pjesnik i muza Tatjane Tolstoj. Nakon upoznavanja čitatelja s ovom suvremenom ruskom spisateljicom veoma zanimljivog stila pisanja, uslijedila je traduktološka analiza prijevoda. Objašnjeno je kojim se sve traduktološkim promjenama prevoditelj može koristiti pri prijevodu te su navedeni primjeri iz pripovijetke. Nadalje, jedno je poglavlje posvećeno prijevodu realija. S obzirom na to da su realije pojmovi specifični za određeni narod i kulturu, njihovo prevođenje predstavlja za prevoditelja problem, ali i izazov. Teoretičari prijevoda posvetili su mnogo radova upravo toj temi, nudeći svoje strategije i prijedloge kako najbolje prenijeti „nepostojeće“ u kulturu ciljanog jezika. Uz realije, u radu je posvećeno poglavlje i metaforama, čiji prijevod također ne predstavlja za prevoditelja lak zadatak.The subject of this thesis is a translation and a traductological analysis of Tatyana Tolstoy’s short story “The Poet and the Muse”. After introducing the readers to aspects of the biography of this modern Russian writer, we have proceeded with the traductological analysis of the translation. It has been explained which translation transformations can be used by a translator while translating, and the examples from the short story have been listed. In addition, one chapter has been dedicated to the translation of realia. Since the realia are intended as concepts specific to a particular culture and people, their translation presents a huge problem for the translator, but it is also challenging. Furthermore, translation theorists have dedicated a big amount of scientific works and publications to this topic, proposing their own strategies and suggestions on how to relocate the “non-existent” in the best possible way into the culture of the target language. Except to the realia, there is a chapter dedicated to the use of metaphors, the translation of which also represents a difficult task for the translator
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
