The discussion offered in this article focuses on the problem of the back fricative segments in Ukrainian. An attempt is made to provide their phonological representations that account both for their distribution and phonological behavior. The analysis proposed here is coached within the framework of Government Phonology, a non-linear model, that awards considerable autonomy to phonological primitives building melodic expressions. Our concern, therefore, is to specify which elements define each of the turbulent sounds and determine the role they play within the relevant melodic structures. In accordance with the principles of the framework, it is predicted that the internal elemental content and organization of primes directly conditions the phonetic manifestation of the fricative segments. The aim of the present analysis is also to pinpoint the significance of the head-dependent distinction that obtains within melodic structures, as it often underlies, if not determines, the strength of expressions and their susceptibility to phonological processes.

The role of the body in human perception of the surroundings has been continually investigated in the recent past. It has been influenced by the embodiment hypothesis which holds that the human body provides the very first experience that humans have about their environments. This article brings evidence from Dholuo that the head is conceptualized in various ways like metonymic head for hair, head for person, head for character traits, unit of measurement. Metaphorically, the head is extended to mean reason, emotion, container, tool, memory, among others. These findings show that the head is highly polysemous in Dholuo.

Objectives The head constitutes 6% of the total body weight, which is linked to the cervical spine and all other joints through the kinematic chain by various muscles. The forward head posture is one of the most common postural disorders and seems to be especially dangerous. The goal of the work was to assess the impact of 4 weeks of training neck and nape muscles on the head posture. Material and Methods The subjects were 20 participants, who performed neck exercises for 20 days. The head posture in a sagittal and frontal plane was assessed photogrammetrically twice: before and after the exercises. The following have been used for the assessment: craniovertebral (CV) angle, head tilt angle (HT), and frontal head tilt angle (FHT). Results After a 20-day program of neck and nape exercises the values of specific angles were compared. The results indicated significant changes in the head posture. In the sagittal plane: the average value of the CV angle before the training was 47.17°, and 50.82° after the training; the average value of the HT angle before the exercises was at 20.99°, and 24.31° after. In the frontal plane the average value of the FHT angle before the exercises was at 2.71°, and after 20 days of training the average value of this angle decreased to 2°. Conclusions The results demonstrate that a short, home-based targeted exercise program can improve head posture. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(1):43–51

The head is an important element of the biokinetic chain. Under physiological conditions, it should extend along the midline of the body. Due to its location and the fact that it constitutes approx. 6% of the total body weight, many authors believe it has a significant impact on its functioning. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic literature search and to synthesize the evidence of the impact of the head posture on the functioning of the human body. A systematic review was conducted within 3 databases: PubMed, Medline OVID, and EBSCO, using the following terms: “forward head,” “posture,” “position,” and “neck.” For the analysis, scientific articles published after 2013 were selected. A total of 16 studies matched the inclusion criteria of this systematic review. Their results have proven that the position of the head has a significant effect on the human body. Research findings show that abnormal head position changes affect muscle activity, proprioception, the pattern of breathing and neck pain. This is the first systematic review of the relationship between the head posture, and the functioning of the human body. The results of this study seem to be promising if used in therapeutic practice.

Informacja radiowa, ze swej natury obiektywna, niesie za sobą często ogromny ładunek emocjonalny. Nadawcy, chcąc zatrzymać słuchacza, odwołują się do skrajnych emocji: na jednym biegunie za cel stawiają sobie wywołanie poczucia zaniepokojenia, na drugim próbują rozbawić odbiorcę lub dostarczyć mu rozrywki. Media bombardują doniesieniami dotyczącymi terroru, krwawych wypadków, sporów politycznych czy katastrof ekologicznych. Aby rozładować to napięcie, nadawcy sięgają po infotainment, informacje lekkie, zabawne, czasami wręcz infantylne. Najsilniej nacechowane emocjonalnie są heady zapowiadające serwisy informacyjne. I to właśnie te elementy serwisów informacyjnych Radia ZET z okresu od 6 do 12 maja 2019 r. stanowią materiał do analizy. Badania ilościowe pokazują, po które emocje nadawcy sięgają najczęściej, natomiast analiza jakościowa pozwoli przyjrzeć się środkom językowym wykorzystywanym do tego celu.

Seemingly objective radio-information sharing often exhibits a significant amount of emotional weight. Senders tend to invoke extreme emotions in order to rivet listeners’ attention. On the one hand, they focus on the feeling of anxiety, however, on the other the primary goal is to amuse and entertain. Media bombards us with news regarding terror, bloody accidents, political disputes or ecological disasters. Senders often use infotainment — light-weight, humorous, and at times infantile information — to release the tension. The strongest emotional impact can be found in the news’ headings. Aforementioned headings presented during the Radio ZET’s broadcasts (for the period ranging from 6th until 12th of May 2019) construct the corpus on which the analysis is conducted. The quantitative research indicates which emotions are most frequently exploited, however the qualitative research allows for the further examination and analysis of stylistic devices used.

The author refers to the image deeply rooted in the European literature (Platon, Thomas Hobbes, Giorgio Agamben) of a social group pictured as an organism, with the head representing its leadership centre, and applies an anthropologicalanalysis to the group of the “Silesian native population” (Marian Gerlich). A metaphor of a decapitated body seems to be a proper way to describe this group’s well consolidated pursuit of distinctiveness or even its separatist tendencies. The concept emerges from a number of tragic historical experiences, such as the death of Henry II the Pious in the Battle of Legnica (1241), the execution of Andrzej Kochcicki, the leader of the Silesian protestant nobility (1634) or a mysterious death of the leader of the 3rd Silesian Uprising, Wojciech Korfanty (1939). The research revolves around the analysis of Wojsko św. Jadwigi (St. Hedwig’s Army), a “Young Poland” drama of 1920 by Jan Nikodem Jaroń, whose main characters are Prince Henry’s closest relatives and their subsequent incarnations (the most important being the final ones – those of a Silesian insurgent family members). The concept of Upper Silesia as a Decapitated Body, which, although deprived of a leader, wants to live its separate life, or picturing this group as a monstrum (a dragon in Szczepan Twardoch’s novel Drach) can be treated as a reflection of the region’s autonomous tendencies. Such a vision of Silesia, autonomous or at least clearly distinctive from the rest of Poland – by cultural memory (Jan Assmann) if nothing else – emerges also from the results of the research conducted by modern sociologists (Marian Gerlich, Maria Szmeja).

Autor, odwołując się do utrwalonego w literaturze europejskiej (Platon, Thomas Hobbes, Giorgio Agamben) wyobrażenia grupy społecznej jako organizmu, w którym głowa symbolizuje ośrodek przywódczy, poddajeantropologicznej analizie grupę „śląskiej ludności rodzimej” (Marian Gerlich). Mocno utrwalone w jej obrębie tendencje odrębnościowe, czy wręcz separatystyczne, dają się opisać poprzez metaforę ciała pozbawionego głowy. To wyobrażenie wyrasta z tragicznych doświadczeń historycznych: śmierci księcia Henryka Pobożnego w czasie bitwy pod Legnicą (1241), egzekucji dokonanej na przywódcy śląskiej szlachty protestanckiej – Andrzeju Kochcickim (1634) i tajemniczej śmierci dyktatora III powstania śląskiego Wojciech Korfantego(1939). Osią rozważań jest analiza fragmentów młodopolskiego dramatu Jana Nikodema Jaronia Wojsko św. Jadwigi (1920), którego bohaterami są najbliżsi krewni księcia Henryka oraz ich późniejsze wcielenia (najważniejsze z nich to ostatnie – członków rodziny biorącej udział w powstaniu śląskim). WyobrażenieGórnego Śląska jako Zdekapitowanego Ciała, które, mimo iż pozbawione przywódcy, chce żyć osobno lub wyobrażenie tej samej grupy jako monstrum (smok w powieści Szczepana Twardocha zatytułowanej Drach) można traktować jako odzwierciedlenie tendencji autonomicznych w tym regionie. Taka wizja Śląska – jeśli nie autonomicznego, to przynajmniej się od reszty Polski różniącego, chociażby pamięcią kulturową (Jan Assmannn) – wyłania się także z rezultatów badań współczesnych socjologów (Marian Gerlich, Maria Szmeja).
