PARAGUAYISMS. PARAGUAYAN SPANISH AND GAURANI. JOPARÁ "THE THIRD LANGUAGE" OF PARAGUAY. JUAN MANUEL MARCOS "GUNTER'S WHINTER"
No full textIn the article the peculiarities of the linguistic situation of Paraguay are analyzed: the typical lexical units, paraguayisms "the linguistic units of Spanish and Guarani that are contrasted with the spoken Spanish of other countries of Latin America and Spain, which pose certain difficulties of rapid comprehension for Spanish speakers". The description and general classification of paraguayisms is made from several points of view. Formal classification: phonetic paraguayisms; grammatical (morphosyntactic); lexicals (even idioms and turns of speech). Lexico-semantic calcification from the point of view of the appearance of connotations. The linguistic situation of Paraguay is presented as the only one, "ideal bilingualism", with certain nuances of multilingualism. Author rescues some peculiarities, most notable of the Spanish and Guarani of Paraguay. Article first reveals the linguistic units that belong to the lexical paraguayisms of Spanish and Guaraní. The classification of Spanish paraguayisms (occasionalism) is offered. It is stated that lexical paraguayisms belong to idioms fixed expressions whose meanings cannot be deduced from the words that compose it. It is a linguistic custom that allows condensing an idea in a few words and transmitting this concept to all those who share the same language It offers the differentiation between proverbs and idioms. An idiom, on the other hand, of saying, does not educate, does not have that intention. Describe a situation, a personality trait and nothing else. For example: Being a pig or eating more than a remorse. An idiom can be a phrase or a single word Speaking of the Paraguayan Guarani, it is stressed that it is not only the language, but the philosophical stone of the race that reveals its origin and destiny and is based on the own cosmogony set of beliefs, experience that form the culture of the people, among which find the mythical story about the origins of the world or the evolution of the Universe. According to the Guarani, language is something divine because it was invented and given to them by their God, Ñamandú. Pay attention to the importance of careful analysis of the mentality of the Guarani for the correct translation of written and oral texts because the Guarani cosmogony takes us back to the origins of the creation of the world, with a simplicity and simplicity that any reasonably reasonable person can understand without the complications of "mysteries" of which most civilized cultures are full. The historical aspects of the coexistence of Spanish and Guarani are mentioned. The author rescues the most remarkable peculiarities of the Spanish of Paraguay and the Guarani. It is noted that the conquest situation gave certain advantages to the development of the Guaraní. There was no imposition of one culture over the other. On the contrary, both of them went through a mutual process of linguistic enrichment. This condition led to the mixture of two different cultures and languages and the appearance of the "third language" of Paraguay jopará (guarañol, hispanicized Guarani), which de facto is the "main language" of Paraguay today. Some aspects of the formation of jopará are clarified: morphosyntactic, lexical, in the first place. Notice that the characteristics of the Paraguayan linguistic situation are observed not only for the spoken language of the people, but are they reflected in contemporary Paraguayan literature, firstly in Juan Manuel Marcos's novel "Gunter's Winter", one of the ten most outstanding novels in the history of Paraguayan literature. In the base of this novel the functions of the paraguayisms in the literature are shown, its aesthetic value is underlined in the culture, the history and the soul of the Paraguayan people in general
Ingegoten spoor op bruggen: Onderzoek naar prestatieverbeteringen voor verlengen van levensduur en snellere reparatie van ingegoten spoor op bruggen
No full textIn dit verslag wordt een alternatieve uitvoering gezocht voor de intensieve reparatiewerkzaamheden van ingegoten spoorstaaf constructies op stalen spoorbruggen. Gedurende het onderzoek is informatie ingewonnen door gesprekken met verschillende bedrijven. Allereerst is gesproken met ProRail over de problematiek en de probleemstelling. Vervolgens heeft een gesprek plaatsgevonden met het bedrijf Edilon)(Sedra welke de ontwikkelaar is van het ingegoten spoor en de wereldwijd marktleider hierin is. Ook is gesproken met aannemer StruktonRail over de reparatie en uitvoering van ingegoten spoor op de Moerdijkbrug. Op deze manier is een volledig beeld gevormd van de problemen en mogelijkheden. Er is geprobeerd om een onafhankelijk standpunt in te nemen waardoor zowel in gesprek is gegaan met de opdrachtgever en spoorbeheerder (ProRail), de ontwikkelaar en verkoper van het ingegoten spoor (Edilon)(Sedra en de aannemer StruktonRail. De aanbevelingen zijn zowel voor het veranderen van de probleemsituatie die nu voorkomt op huidige constructies, maar is vooral ook bedoelt als aanbeveling voor de constructie van toekomstige kunstwerken. Er wordt een onderscheidt gemaakt in aanbevelingen die uitvoerbaar zijn op de huidige spoorbruggen en op aanbevelingen voor methodes waarvoor extra onderzoek nodig is. De belangrijkste aanbeveling is om het voorgedragen ontwerp te testen voor haalbaarheid in de spoorconstructie.Civil Engineering and GeosciencesStructural EngineeringRailway Engineerin
Wheel/rail interface optimisation
No full textIn this thesis, wheel/rail interface optimisation, and particularly the problems of wheel and rail profile design are considered. The research task pursued by this thesis engenders investigation of a range of problems. First, geometric properties of contact between wheel and rail are investigated. Then, physical properties of rolling contact between wheel and rail are studied with the help of contact mechanics. Railway vehicle dynamics are then considered using multibody dynamic approach. Finally, a numerical optimisation method is used for the design of the wheel profile. All these disciplines are combined in one wheel (rail) profile design procedure. The wheel (rail) profile design procedure is developed with the idea that the rolling radius difference (RRD) function, to a large extent, describes the wheel/rail contact properties. Therefore, for a known optimal RRD function, a wheel profile that delivers the required contact properties defined by this RRD can be determined. Wheel and rail profile measurements are used to analyse wheelset contact properties in order to design the target RRD function. The problem of finding a wheel profile corresponding to the target RRD function is formulated as an optimisation problem. The dynamic performance of a vehicle with the designed wheel profile is tested for stability, wear, and dynamic contact stresses using the ADAMS/Rail computer package. In this research, three railway system types are considered - tram, metro, and conventional railway. Using the developed design procedure, new wheel profiles are designed for each above mentioned case, solving for, respectively, the problems of flange wear, stability (as a result of excessive tread wear), and RCF. In the first two cases, wheel profiles were successfully implemented on the respective networks. Successful application of the design procedure to real-life problems has proven its usability and expediency.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
Renovation for Transfer Points in Dry Bulk Terminal
No full textThis project focuses on the transfer point renovation topic in one dry bulk terminal. As in reality, a lot of manufacturers take great efforts in offering better transfer point solution, less academic research has been done especially for the transfer point itself This makes transfer points a quite interesting topic for me. And the Kleinpolder plein which is one of the transfer points in EMO dry bulk terminal plays the key role in being the case study object. Although the research and design is done for the Kleinpolder plein, the methodology used and the designs developed in the project can be applied to other transfer points once adaption has been made.TILTransport, Infrastructure and LogisticsDelft University of Technolog
Logistics Chains in Freight Transport Modelling
No full textThe flow of trade is not equal to transport flows, mainly due to the fact that warehouses and distribution facilities are used as intermediary stops on the way from production locations to the points of consumption or further rework of goods. This thesis proposes a logistics chain model, which estimates empirically valid transport flows necessary to ship the goods from production to consumption locations, emphasizing a proper modeling of flows related to warehouses and distribution centers.TLOTechnology, Policy and Managemen
Юридическая трактовка взглядов на определение сделок, совершаемых в обход закона, в современном праве Российской Федерации
No full textThe article states that the emergence of transactions that are bypassing the law is associated with the optimization of its activities by business entities. The author considers numerous points of view connected with the definition of the legal phenomenon of transactions in circumvention of the law, as well as their place in civil legislation. In his study, the author notes that the domestic legal doctrine has developed a variety of approaches to the definition of transactions that are circumvented by the law. Thus, transactions circumventing the law can be interpreted as a form of mock transactions; as a kind of legal violation or even as lawful actions based on the principle of freedom of contract and so on. Each of the approaches analyzed is not perfect. Therefore, along with these approaches, the author proposes a position according to which the transactions circumventing the law represent such actions, which in their essence are a form of abuse of the law
