This paper deals with [V V] dvandva compounds, which are frequently used in East and Southeast Asian languages but also in Greek and its dialects: Greek is in this respect uncommon among Indo-European languages. It examines the appearance of this type of compounding in Greek by tracing its development in the late Medieval period, and detects a high rate of productivity in most Modern Greek dialects. It argues that the emergence of the [V V] dvandva pattern is not due to areal pressure or to a language-contact situation, but it is induced by a language internal change. It associates this change with the rise of productivity of compounding in general, and the expansion of verbal compounds in particular. It also suggests that the change contributes to making the compound-formation patterns of the language more uniform and systematic. Claims and proposals are illustrated with data from Standard Modern Greek and its dialects. It is shown that dialectal evidence is crucial for the study of the rise and productivity of [V V] dvandva compounds, since changes are not usually portrayed in the standard language.

AbstractWe discuss a potential case of borrowing in this paper: Breton a- ‘of’, ‘from’ marking of (internal) verbal arguments, unique in Insular Celtic languages, and reminiscent of Gallo-Romance de/du- (and en-) arguments. Looking at potential Gallo-Romance parallels of three Middle Breton constructions analyzed in some detail (a with indefinite mass nominals in direct object position, a-marking of internal arguments under the scope of negation, a [allomorphs an(ez)-/ahan-] with personal pronouns for internal arguments, subjects (mainly of predicative constructions) and as expletive subjects of existential constructions), we demonstrate that even if there are some semantic parallels and one strong structural overlap (a and de under the scope of negation), the amount of divergences in morphology, syntax and semantics and the only partially fitting relative chronology of the different constructions do not allow to conclude with certainty that language-contact is an explanation of the Breton facts, which might have come into being also because of internal change (bound to restructuring of the pronominal system in Breton). More research is necessary to complete our knowledge of a-marking in Middle Breton and Modern Breton varieties and on the precise history of French en, in order to decide for one or the other explanation.

Social Engineering of Making Agricultural Road Access in Subak Gunung Kangin Bangli Village Baturiti Subdistrict Tabanan Regency Social engineering of making agricultural road access in Subak Gunung Kangin is an effort to overcome the problem of the road that is less good. The success of making access to agricultur roads is interesting to examine by looking at aspects of social capital that support and social engineering processes. The purpose of research to determine social capital owned by subak and social engineering process. The research location is located in Subak Gunung Kangin, Bangli Village, Baturiti Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency. The analytical method used is qualitative descriptive. The results showed that social capital owned by subak supports social engineering (1) trust; The existence of trust among subak members, subak with kerama adat, subak with road initiator and subak with outsiders; (2) social value; The value of togetherness, the value of mutual cooperation, and the value of volunteerism; (3) social networks; The existence of social relations with karma adat, outsiders and local government. While the social engineering process of making agricultural road access is seen from social engineering indicators; (1) cause of internal changes due to lack of access to roads and external changes of opportunity; (2) agent of change is the initiator of the road; (3) target of internal change is subak and external are external; (4) channel of internal change is paum subak and external is negotiation with outsiders; And (5) strategy of change is a personal approach.

An examination of heat-induced expression of proteins in tissues from adult and embryonic liver in rats shows that albumin, which is constitutively expressed in adult liver and is not synthesized in embryos before 16 days of gestation, appears in liver cells at earlier stages of development upon heat shock. On the basis of available evidence for the expression of heat shock proteins at distinct stages of development and on the basis of our findings, it may be argued that there could be common molecular events taking place during development and as a result of heat shock. We suggest also that one of the consequences of heat shock could be an internal change of pH within the cell which, in turn, might trigger alterations in gene expression.

In keeping with identifying dialectics as one of four model of change, many of the chapters of this handbook identify various dualities as important to understanding organizational change. This chapter focuses particularly on the duality of exogenous and endogenous change (or external and internal change) and considers the various ways in which the two are entangled. It reflects on seven chapters of the handbook that provide a range of perspectives on the issue, and separates the range of orientations into three categories: chapters that take the difference between internal and external as an ontological fact and explore how separable entities interact with one another; chapters in which the difference between internal and external is an analytical process (and which are apparently agnostic about ontological differences); and chapters that reject an ontological distinction between exogenous and endogenous and explore the entangled nature of exogenous and endogenous within a single ontology.

AbstractIn this paper, the quality changes of fresh dumpling wrappers during storage were studied by measuring the changes of microbial growth, color, pH, texture, cooking property, moisture content and distribution of raw dumpling wrappers. The correlation of these indicators was analyzed. The results showed that the dumpling wrappers had generated lots of microorganisms during storage and the pH value decreased gradually. The dumpling wrappers had browning and the color became darker. The texture of the dumpling wrappers changed obviously. The original structure of raw dumpling wrappers were destroyed, the water distribution is uneven and migration to the surface. The apparent index of raw dumpling wrappers has a significant correlation with the internal change, which provides a certain guiding significance for maintaining the good quality of dumpling wrappers.

Educators are faced with an important issue as it pertains to academic writing and research. There are many studies on academic dishonesty and cheating at all levels of education. Administrators and faculty in education need to be aware of the entrepreneurial gravity of this scheme and be proactive in communication by informing all stakeholders to develop policies to this academic epidemic. This article will also research the motives of academic dishonesty, deep web schemes to defraud, avoidance of criminal prosecution, and non-conventional intellectual warfare while making recommendations for internal change and reform. The purpose of this article is to enlighten practitioners and researchers to include students and educational administrators about the growing concern of plagiarism, unintentional plagiarism, defrauding funding sources, governmental agencies, educational institutions, perspective employers, and affixing serious long-term consequences and liability to participants and placing a negative stigma on brand reputation and further stress on academia.
