Expression de la cause prépositionnelle dans les papyrus grecs non littéraires de la période impériale

This paper deals with the statement of cause in Greek documentary papyri of the Imperial Period. It studies the frequency of occurrence of the adverbial designations, the detection of their position within the clauses and the identification of the terms they define in Greek non‑literary papyri from 31 B.C. until 4th century. The examples come from a body of approximately 30 000 Greek non‑literary papyri texts and ostraca. The search of the material was based on the online database Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri (DDbDP), which includes all the documentary papyri. In order to avoid possible mistakes in electronic publications, the papyri texts were also checked by the printed volumes of texts.

Complex Events: Drug Effects and Emergent Causality

This article works with Connolly's (2004) concept of “emergent causality” to counter the insistence on linear expressions of cause and effect in dominant strands of drug prevention evaluation. I elaborate this concept with reference to recent controversies concerning the policing of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. The use of sniffer dogs to furnish the reasonable suspicion required to authorize police “stop and search” procedures has been a key part of this controversy. Substantiated in terms of its universal applicability, high visibility and purported deterrent effect, this practice actually forms part of the complex and evolving environment in which new and more dangerous forms of sex-related drug consumption have emerged. Emergent causality makes it possible to see how any element in a given assemblage can acquire contingent agentic capacities. Grasping these developments as events, or processes of eventuation, sets out an active, engaged and agonistic role for research practice.

Tratamiento de datos personales en el Estado y acceso a la información pública

Before the amendment of Article 8 of the Constitution of 1980 and the enactment of Act 20 285, on transparency and access to information of public services, there is a new protective legal mechanism and procedures in order to exercise the right of access before the organs of state and, in case of refusal to the delivery of records, deeds, contracts, documents, resolutions and state contracts, go for defense before the Council of Transparency. However, the previous period of law 19.628 on protection of privacy and the actual wording of the law 20 285-on «active transparency» and «grounds of secrecy or confidentiality, to reasonably require legal protection treatment Personal data on public services should become a law limiting access to administrative information, especially when no need to require expression of cause or reason for the applicant is one of the essential principles of the law 20 285.

Teaching expressions of cause, effect, purpose and function in English to students of science and technology

Definitions of scientific terms, descriptions of scientific and technological processes and procedures, and the like have a pride of place in most of the scientific writings. As a result, the students who pursue their undergraduate or masters program in science and technology in various universities across the world require using several expressions in their writing tasks intended to define, describe and discuss certain concepts pertaining to their respective domains of knowledge. Among them, expressions to explain causes and effects, purposes and functions are more frequently used than others in the writing tasks carried out by the students of science and technology. This article discusses the strategies and the practical exercises that can be used by the teachers of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) to teach the expressions of cause, effect, purpose and function in their ESP classes. Key words: English, writing, science and technology, teachers, classroom.

Expression of cause, evidence, justify and motivation rhetorical relations by causal hypotactic clauses in Brazilian Portuguese

This paper aims at investigating the expression of cause, evidence, justify and motivation rhetorical relations by means of causal hypotactic clauses in formal oral discourse (university lectures and interviews with academic researchers) in Brazilian Portuguese. The investigation is based on Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST), a theory of text organization which describes the implicit relations that arise from the combination of parts of texts. The identification of these relations was based on a parameter from Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG): layers of representational and interpersonal levels. From interpersonal level, layers move and discourse act were used. From representational level, layers propositional content and states of affairs were employed. Non-volitional cause relations are established by clauses conveying states of affairs, volitional cause relation is established by clauses conveying propositional contents. Justify relation and evidence relation are established by clauses conveying discourse acts (in evidence relation an instance of what was stated in the nucleus portion is provided in the satellite portion). Finally, motivation relation is established by clauses conveying a motivation subsidiary discourse act.

Les verbes de cause à partir de l'exemple de causer

The aim of this contribution is to compare Les Verbes français by Dubois & Dubois-Charlier (1997) with several papers dealing with the verbal expression of cause : concept based thesaurus, syntactic verb classification, meaning-text approach. In this way the productivity of these various points of view may be assessed. J. Dubois & F. Dubois-Charlier’s works, which results in a semantic classification based on the syntactic and distributional properties of all French verbs, appears to be the most compelling through its tight association of content and expression. It shows that languages establish their own semantic structure which is not equivalent with the referential or conceptual intuition.

Waiting for the crisis

Experience in daily routine reveals that most of ICU patients usually go through "crisis" within 14 days of admission. Only few patients need remarkable more time to get to this point and it seems there is hardly anything to be done therapeutically to change the course of it. We therefore examined a large group of ICU patients in order to find reasons for this course or to spot them as an "entity of their own". 1,861 ICU patients all being on IPPV for more than three days were included in the study. Every day 18 variables were taken down in a standardised way until the day IPPV was finished. We extracted 170 patients who were artificially ventilated for more than 40 days. For these patients we established mean values for each of the 18 variables during the first and the last 40 days of ventilation. In both groups we compared survivors to non-survivors. Mortality was almost the same in both groups (IPPV < 40 days vs. IPPV > 40 days). Survivors and non-survivors showed remarkable differences regarding extrapulmonary factors-in terms of total fluid amount and transfusion, state of abdomen, brain, liver and kidney function and circulation problems. Pulmonary factors revealed major differences only towards the end of the observation period. There seems to be an "entity of ist own", a small population of patients who arrive at the crucial turning point later. Pulmonary complications (pneumonia, ARDS) is not the reason but the expression of cause for prolonged ventilation. The key to the extrapulmonary origin of the crisis remains unknown, the only thing we can do is alleviate its manifestations.

Cause and effect: An overview∗

Abstract Understanding of cause‐effect relations is critical to reading comprehension. Various expressions of cause and effect are discussed. True cause‐effect relations are described, along with similar relations: purpose, condition, and concession. Single causes and effects are focused on, but multiple causes and/or effects are also noted. Direct statements of cause‐effect are described as well as implied cause‐effect relations, which must be inferred.

GOITER: CURRENT ERRORS IN ETIOLOGY AND TREATMENT

A goiter is not merely a lump on the neck, but a local expression of causes originating or having originated elsewhere in the body. Also, contrary to popular notion, the cure of goiter is not necessarily by means of iodine or by thyroidectomy. In a prolonged study of the subject, with a series of thousands of cases, I have found that a large percentage of patients seen have already been iodized, thyroidectomized, or both, with detriment to the individual. The reason why treatment of goiter is still largely chaotic is that the doctor’s span of existence is too short to know everything about everything in medicine. The subject of goiter, because of its broad implications with regard to pathogenesis and subjective and objective symptomatology, frequently requires a most widespread regime of therapeusis. Goiter is a specialty and is as large and exacting as any in medicine. Even the few goiter specialists to be found in this country have still very much to learn on this subject. Each day presents new problems...
