Ana y el Rey o las virtudes de la elipsis en Crónica sentimental de la transición, de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán by Georges Tyras

“…Thanks to these two features, a sceptical or sarcastic outlook on the narrated events, incidents or attitudes is established. One episode, which could be intertextually entitled «Ana and the King», seems to suggest that the literary dimension of the text enables the author to eschew the obligations linked to the theme he addresses and to the environment in which he evolves, and makes for the expression of an implicit point of view which can subvert official historical narratives.…”

THE PERSPECTIVES OF EDUCATION: COMPETENCES, INTELLECTUAL ENVIRONMENTS, TRANSDISCIPLINARITY by Andrey L. Andreev

“…The reason is seen in the fact that to reduce the aims of education to “competences” means to ignore intuitive, or soGcalled personal knowledge, which cannot betested in a usual way. The article also attracts attention to the fact that in newly adoptededucation standards competences are treated as widely as to include moral dispositions and values, and this position from the philosophical point of view seems very doubtful, as soon as in this case the notion of competence embraces nearly the whole contents of our mentality. …”

Parametric Investigation of Dual-Mass Flywheel Based on Driveline Start-Up Torsional Vibration Control by Liupeng He, Changgao Xia, Sida Chen, Jiwei Guo, Yi Liu

“…On account of the partial nonstationary characteristic of driveline during start-up, the start-up process is separated into 3 phases for discussing the influence of DMF rotary inertia ratio, hysteresis torque, and nonlinear torsional stiffness on attenuation effect. The test and simulation results show that the DMF undergoes severe oscillation when driveline passes through resonance zone, and the research model is verified to be valid. …”

Macrostructures and rhetorical moves in research articles in nanotechnology by Xianqing Luo, Jiajie Ji

“…IntroductionNotwithstanding the fact that extensive studies focused on exploring generic structures in established disciplines, scant attention has been directed to macrostructures and rhetorical moves in RAs in some emerging disciplines.MethodsBased on a self-compiled corpus of 50 research articles (RAs) from five top ranking journals in the field of Nanotechnology, we explored the macrostructures and rhetorical moves in RAs in Nanotechnology.ResultsIt was found that (i) scientists in Nanotechnology have a propensity to employ a merged [R&amp;D] structure to immediately discuss and contribute new knowledge tentatively in the specific contextualised situation after research results were presented, (ii) Even though RAs in Nanotechnology largely follows IMRD structure by abiding writing conventions in the research world, disciplinary variations were found regarding the rhetorical structures, specifically, scientists in Nanotechnology tend to employ more moves and steps in establishing research niche, detailed description of research methods, suggesting future research, but less moves and steps related to promotional strategies (M3S4, M3S5, M3S6).DiscussionThe research results have significant implications for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) instructors to make informed choices by using disciplinary empirical-based decisions to guide novice writers and students at tertiary level to write RAs by following disciplinary conventions of research communities in Nanotechnology so as to avoid overgeneralization.…”
