Abstract The paper explores the existence of cognitive linguistics principles in translation of emotion-related metaphorical expressions. Cognitive linguists (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; Lakoff, 1987) define metaphor as a mechanism used for understanding one conceptual domain, target domain, in terms of another conceptual domain, source domain, through sets of correspondences between these two domains. They also claim that metaphor is omnipresent in ordinary discourse. Cognitive linguists, however, also realized that certain metaphors can be recognized and identified in different languages and cultures whereas some are language- and culture-specific. This paper focuses on similarities and variations in metaphors which have recently become popular within the discipline of Translation Studies. Transferring and translating metaphors from one language to another can represent a challenge for translators due to a multi-faceted process of translation including both linguistic and non-linguistic elements. A number of methods and procedures have been developed to overcome potential difficulties in translating metaphorical expressions, with the most frequent ones being substitution, paraphrase, or deletion. The analysis shows the transformation of metaphorical expressions from one language into another and the procedures involving underlying conceptual metaphors, native speaker competence, and the influence of the source language.
Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease. In patients with Parkinson’s disease among other symptoms occur cognitive dysfunctions, which can be shown by P300 wave changes. Aim: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that patients with Parkinson’s disease have reduced amplitude and prolonged latency, longer than 300 ± 10 ms. Material and Methods: The study included 21 patient suffering from Parkinson’s disease. After reviewing the medical records and analyzes the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients were subjected to the same procedure examining auditory cognitive potentials (P300 wave) and the results were analyzed and compared to reference value for healthy population. Results: We have shown that patients with Parkinson’s disease have prolonged P300 targeted and frequent stimulus latency compared to reference value for healthy population. From 21 patient 18 had a pathological P300 target stimulus amplitude, and even 20 patients had pathological P300 frequent stimulus amplitude. Conclusion: People with Parkinson’s disease have altered P300 which indicates the presence of cognitive dysfunction in these patients.
UDK: 595.768.1:582.475(234.422 Zvijezda) Bark beetles are the most important pests of the coniferous forests. Although they are considered to be a secondary pest, they are becoming the primary pests that attack healthy trees. One of the important spruce bark beetle is the Pityogenes chalcographus (L.) - a small spruce beetle. The research was conducted in the municipality of Vareš, on three locations: Ponikva, Pobrin Han, Doli. The active period of the bark beetle for development began in the last decade of April. P. chalcographus in the field of research had two generations. For the development of generations it took between 12 and 13 weeks. Weather conditions in the object of research did not allow the completion of the second generation. The activity of the bark beetle ends in mid-September. When we talk about the characteristics of wood material which prefers small bark beetle of spruce, we can say that he prefers to inhabit thinner parts of trunk with thin and smooth rind. In the object of research for monitoring of population of bark beetle P. chalcographus was used trap trees. As a measure to combat the small spruce bark beetles are strongly advised in due time, autumn and winter, remove the dried trees and trees with drilled bark beetles. Maintenance and establishment of forest order to reduce the amount of wood material suitable for the settlement of bark beetles.
Digital printing has matured and it is now present in daily production. This is true for both the large format inkjet printing and digital commercial printing (with toner based and increasingly with ink jet technique). In the graphic arts industry in particular the latter use case shows tremendous growth figures where small and medium run lengths are taken over increasingly from the offset market (Kraushaar, 2010). As digital printing industry grows every day a lot of work has been done in improving and developing new technologies and products. This increased growth demands higher level of quality assessment in order to be able to compare different products and technologies and evaluate them (Pedersen et al., 2011). Most production digital printing processes depend on the use of certified paper to perform to their best capacity. Any adjustments that need to be made to the actual press require the intervention of technical support personnel other than the press operator (Chung & Rees, 2007). Print quality is very important in each printing technology, and also for digital printing (Rilovski et al., 2012). A common way for analyzing the print quality is to quantitatively assess image color and tone value reproduction using corresponding measuring device. This way of analyzing print quality is easy, since tone and color are easily perceptible, but they are not enough for determining print quality (Dhopade, 2009; Kiurski & Oros, 2012). Several experiments proved that print quality is not a monotonic function of hue, saturation and brightness (Fedorovskaya, Ridder & Blommaert, 1997; Pedersen et al., 2009). Quantitative print quality assessment depends on a number of quality attributes (Pedersen et al., 2011; Rilovski et al., 2012). There are several of them such as contrast, sharpness, macro-uniformity, etc., which are not associated with tone and color but have considerable influence on print quality. They are directly connected with line and dot quality, which are structural elements of any image (Dhopade, 2009). So far many researches have been done that confirmed the importance of different quality attributes, but there is no overall agreement which of them are most important (Pedersen et al., 2011; Rilovski et al., 2012). One of the reason is multidimensionality and complexity of image quality (Pedersen et al., 2011).
This paper investigates the performance of the BCH encoder and decoder for different error-correcting capabilities. The focus is on BCH codes of length 255. The motivation for this research is a project where data symbols of this length are transmitted over an error-prone wireless channel. The paper presents a mathematical introduction into encoding for cyclic codes and decoding of the BCH code. The code was implemented in both software and hardware and the performance and cost of both implementations were measured for different code parameters.

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is widely used in the evaluation of known and suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Imaging of heart in stress and rest enables the comparison of myocardial uptake of radiotracer in proportion to the needs and coronary flow, which is used for detection of perfusion defects. Exercise stress and pharmacologic agents are used for the stressing purpose. Novel pharmacologic stressor regadenoson is A2A selective adenosine agonist, which selectively binds to the adenosine receptors in coronary arteries causing coronary dilatation. Materials and methods: We analyzed 50 myocardial perfusion studies performed with regadenoson as a pharmacologic agent that was injected before Tc99m-sestamibi in stress imaging. Stress and rest sets of images were evaluated for relative uptake of Tc99m-sestamibi in order to detect and characterize perfusion defects. After the injection of regadenoson, hemodynamic parameters and potential side-effects were closely monitored. Side-effects were stratified per severity as mild, moderate and severe. Studies were read by nuclear medicine physicians using quantitative perfusion SPECT software. Additional diagnostic information such as wall motion and wall thickening were provided by gating. Results: Thirty-three patients (66%) experienced one or more side-effects upon the administration of regadenoson, most commonly warmth and chest discomfort. In all patients but one (98%), the symptoms were mild, of short duration and self-limiting. Out of all side-effects registered, 44 (96%) were mild, and 2 (4%) were moderate. Two moderate side-effects developed in one patient with a prior history of asthma, and included shortness of breath and cough. Heart rate changed by 16 +- 31 bpm. Highest increase in blood pressure was 30 mm Hg for systolic, and 10 mm Hg for diastolic. One case of significant decrease in blood pressure was noted from the hypertensive basal values, 50 mm for systolic, and 30 mm Hg for diastolic. ST segment depression of up to 1 mm occurred in 4 cases (8%), and T-wave changes in 3 cases (6%). No conduction abnormalities, significant hypotension, symptomatic bradycardia or cardiac arrest ocurred. Conclusion: Our first institutional experiences proved regadenoson as A2A selective adenosine agonist as a pharmacologic stressor to be safe, tolerable and easily used. Its safety profile enabled the study to be performed in patients with respiratory disease also.
