We present the results of further analys of 152nd sessions of the exemplary case of Amalia. We apply the methods of conversation analysis and the analysis of metaphors to the script of the audio record using the new system of transcription that reflects prosodic elements of dialogue in the analytic dyad. In this part of our study one can “see” a) a “dance of insight” of the patient and the analyst, which reveals the pattern of interaction between two positions; b) the creation of metaphors by the participants of the analytic dyad, which are then used as cognitive tools and means of communication that allows among other things to reflect the extraordinary complexity of the analytic interaction in a condensed way. In addition, we show the relevance of the threefold model of analytic conversation for the generalized descriptions of prosodic rhythmicity and other prosodic characteristics. This model consists of the following components: “interaction engine”, “talking to” and “talking about”.

Studies of the psychotherapeutic process using the methods of conversation analysis can make a substantial contribution to further development of psychotherapeutic practice. The case study of Amalia, particularly session 152, has been analysed many times using different methods that are briefly reviewed here. This paper is devoted to the analysis of session 152, based on the new transcription material that includes the prosodic elements of the dialogue in the analytical dyad. Our study demonstrates the following: (a) how the analyst and the patient together create a common object of conversation, i.e. psychoanalysis; (b) the use of different therapeutic tools that have not been properly covered in literature yet and may be described as ‘devices’. We define our work as a qualitative study based on the non-statistical data of the verbal production analysis whose results may be used for advancing new hypotheses.

We look first at the situation in the early years of the restored Han dynasty. Liu Xin’s system continued in use for more than half a century. Then, in 85 CE, Liu Xin’s system was replaced. We have records of the practical and theoretical grounds on which the old system was rejected, and of the creation and implementation of a new system. Next we follow the story of how c. 92 CE Jia Kui advocated a fundamental innovation in both theory and practice: he insisted on the ecliptic as being central to astronomical observation and calculation. The richness of records from this period makes it easy to tell a detailed story of technical innovation in its fullest context, leading up to the work of Zhang Heng (78–139 CE), for whom astronomical calculation was just one of several fields in which he gained a reputation for exceptional originality.

Although much work has been conducted on studying conversational openings of telephone and ritual expressions, conversational closings and ritual expressions have received less attention by researchers due to the complexity and difficulty of identifying the beginning of closings in telephone conversations. The parts of closing and ritual expressions on telephone have been examined in some languages, but Arabic has not been studied in landline telephone or mobile phone. Therefore, this study seeks to identify the sequences and ritual expressions between Saudi friends and relatives to explore the strategies of closing informal mobile phone calls by using a conversation analysis approach. Thirty audio-recorded and transcribed mobile phone conversations served as the data source for this study. The results found that the majority of mobile phone closing conversations include three parts: pre-closing, leave taking, and terminal exchange that are similar to many languages such as English, Japanese, and German. Also, various expressions were used in pre-closing and leave taking sequences, but the expressions of using prayers were used more frequently in the sequences. Finally, closing conversation is affected by various external and internal social factors in the sequences and the use of ritual expressions.

The R.A. system KSV [1] has been used in the USSR Time Service for observations with small transit instruments since 1970. Some methodological errors were made when creating the KSV [2] and the use of the proper motion system, distorted with the position errors of GC and KSV [3], make it necessary to improve the KSV system. Work on the creation of a new system KSV-2 was organized for this purpose. The catalogue included about 0.3 million computer-readable observations with small transit instruments of the USSR Time Service with mean standard deviations σ = 11 sec δ ms.

Research conducted at Badan Penanaman Modal dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu (BPMPTSP) Padang City aims to analyze the process of making a trading business license and design a new system capable of overcoming the existing obstacles. Making SIUP in BPMPTSP still done manually, which means not yet using an application program. For example, in creating reports, employees still use Microsoft Excel and archiving in document form. In addition, there is often difficulty in data search due to the absence of databases for data storage. Therefore, it is necessary to build an information system using Visual BasicNet 2010 programming language for monitoring the creation of trading business license containing and empty on BPMPTSP, so that information can be presented quickly and accurately. The advantages of this proposed system are in the recording and stored in a database making it easier to generate reports. Thus making SIUP becomes more clear and precise.


The creation of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) is the most prominent change in the European legal landscape for the last four decades. This book explains how the new system works in practice and how to make the best use of its provisions. It offers readers an in-depth and comprehensive commentary on the legal mechanisms of the upcoming ratified European Patent Law, and advice on potential problems that users of the forthcoming regulations may face. The book first describes the creation of the Unified European Patent Law and how its four new legislative texts interact. The new legislative texts are then explained and commented on in detail, rule by rule, with diverse approaches and perspectives from a practitioner team comprising patent litigators, European patent attorneys, law professors and patent judges. The Commentary takes into account the practical needs of users of the new system on both the prosecution and enforcement sides, addressing substantive and procedural problems. This book is the most authoritative text on the Unitary Patent and Unified Patents Court, and an invaluable tool for practitioners in this rapidly developing area of law.
