Índice de vulnerabilidad en dos barrios de Cartagena de Indias
Authors: Lobera-Peña Eliana , Olivero-Verbel Jesús
Published: April 2022

El cambio climático está generando efectos cada vez mayores y en los barrios de Cartagena de Indias esta situación se refleja en el alto grado de vulnerabilidad relacionado a múltiples características de sus habitantes. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estimar vulnerabilidad asociado a los impactos por cambio climático en los barrios El Pozón y Las Gaviotas. La metodología para estimar la vulnerabilidad incluyó la aplicación de encuestas en los hogares con el fin de caracterizar los factores de riesgo, utilizando los resultados para calcular los índices a través del método de vulnerabilidad de medios de vida (IMV) y el modelo propuesto por el IPCC (IMV-IPCC). El IVM está compuesto por 7 componentes: sociodemográfico, las estrategias de sustento o supervivencia, redes sociales, salud, alimentación, acceso al recurso hídrico, información sobre desastres y variabilidad climática. El IMV-IPCC relaciona los siete componentes con los conceptos de exposición, capacidad de adaptación y sensibilidad. Los resultados del IVM indican que ambos barrios son vulnerables. El índice propuesto por el IPCC sugiere que ambos barrios se ubican en la escala de vulnerabilidad baja. En conclusión, las características socioeconómicas como falta de ingresos económicos adicionales, de oportunidades laborales y la poca comprensión de los conceptos asociados al cambio climático de los habitantes, influyen en los factores de riesgos asociados a los impactos de cambio climático.

Published: April 2022

La identificación y delimitación de zonas de recarga hídrica en una cuenca son importantes en la gestión del recurso hídrico, sin embargo, la escasa implementación de metodologías prácticas y participativas que contribuyan al conocimiento del proceso y la ubicación de las zonas de recarga por parte de los actores locales dificultan su conservación. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar participativamente áreas con una posible recarga hídrica potencial en la microcuenca quebrada Cune, del municipio de Villeta-Cundinamarca, aplicando un modelo metodológico que incluyó e integró el conocimiento técnico y científico con el saber local de las comunidades rurales. Se identificaron cinco (5) zonas potenciales de recarga hídrica y se representaron en un mapa participativo. El programa ArcView® fue utilizado para validar la metodología, permitiendo establecer comparaciones entre el mapa participativo con el mapa obtenido técnicamente. El mapa de zonas potenciales de recarga hídrica obtenido, indica que el 71,31%, del área total de la microcuenca corresponden a zonas categorizadas con una posibilidad de recarga moderada y alta. Adicionalmente, se presenta bastante concordancia entre las categorías de clasificación de zonas de recarga hídrica identificadas por los actores locales con las identificadas técnicamente. El mapa de zonas potenciales de recarga hídrica elaborado en este estudio se propone como una herramienta que contribuye a la gestión ambiental participativa y la planificación local en el manejo de los recursos hídricos subterráneos del área de estudio.

Authors: Blanco-Corredor Andrés Felipe , Bustos-López Martha Cristina , Arrieta-Loyo Gabriela
Published: April 2022

Este estudio de caso presenta el diagnóstico preliminar del estado de saneamiento básico de los municipios de Puerto Wilches y Yondó, localizados estratégicamente en la región del valle del Magdalena medio y que vierten sus aguas residuales sin tratamiento previo a la cuenca del río Magdalena. Además, su población presenta una alta vulnerabilidad social y económica. A través de la recopilación y análisis de la información secundaria se realiza un panorama de la prestación del servicio de acueducto y alcantarillado de la población urbana y se identifican puntos dispersos de vertimiento de efluentes domésticos y de aguas residuales generadas por las principales actividades económicas de la zona: extracción de hidrocarburos y producción de aceite a partir de palma africana. Como resultado se identifica una alta presión sobre la calidad del agua del río Magdalena por vertimientos directos y otros aportantes que entregan aguas residuales de las diferentes actividades de la zona.
La ontología ecopolítica del riesgo en los Tepehuas. Una reflexión sobre el ritual a la Sirena
Authors: Castillo-Oropeza Oscar Adán
Published: April 2022

El objetivo principal de este texto ha sido reflexionar sobre la construcción de la ontología ecopolítica del riesgo por inundación en la población indígena Tepehua, que se ubica en el municipio de Huehuetla Hidalgo, México. A partir del enfoque de la ecología política relacional, se discuten algunas ideas sobre las condiciones de vulnerabilidad de esta población en ese lugar y cómo estos sujetos, a través de un conocimiento socioculturalmente acumulado sobre el territorio que habitan, definen las causas y consecuencias de vivir cerca del río Pantepec, el cual cada temporada de lluvias amenaza con desbordarse y destruir su patrimonio labrado por generaciones. Se identificó que la principal estrategia para hacer frente a las posibles inundaciones es la práctica de rituales, como el ritual a la Sirena. Para todo ello, se hizo una investigación documental, recorridos y observaciones de campo y, se recuperaron testimonios de informantes clave. Finalmente, se aportan otros elementos heurísticos para el análisis de los riesgos socioambientales y su relación con el conocimiento indígena no sólo en México, sino en América Latina.
Contracaecum sp. (Nematode: Anisakidae) en peces de interés comercial en el golfo de Morrosquillo, Sucre - Colombia
Authors: Vergara-Flórez Vicente , Consuegra Adolfo
Published: April 2022

El pescado es la base de la alimentación en comunidades costeras y se desconoce el grado de infestación parasitaria de las especies consumidas en Coveñas y Berruga, golfo de Morrosquillo, norte de Colombia. Fueron colectados peces de gran demanda comercial Scomberomorus brasiliensis (sierra), Centropomus undecimalis (róbalo), Lutjanus synagris (pargo chino), Caranx crysos (cojinúa) y Mugil incilis (anchoa), para establecer el grado de infección parasitaria por nemátodos anisákidos y su relación con el estado de salud. Solo róbalo con un porcentaje de prevalencia parasitaria (%PP) de 68 % y anchoa con 29 % presentaron infección. El róbalo en la época lluviosa presentó 72 % y en época seca 64 %, mientras que la anchoa arrojó 23 y 34 %, respectivamente. En promedio, la intensidad parasitaria por nemátodos en los peces fue de 12,18 ± 4,01 para róbalo y 9,11 ± 3,31 para anchoa, lo que probablemente está relacionado con sus distintos hábitos alimenticios, por cuanto el factor de condición (FC) indicativo del estado nutricional y de robustez del pez es óptimo para anchoa (1,11) y bajo para róbalo (0,73). Igualmente se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas respecto al FC en las cinco especies y las estaciones de muestreo (P = 0,0004 y P = 0,0000). Basados en la morfología observada en microscopio, se puede afirmar que los nemátodos aislados pertenecen a Contracaecum sp. correspondientes al tercer estadio larvar (L3).
Jean de Berry’s Croix Couverte at Beaucaire (Gard) in its Pan-European Architectural-Cultural Contexts
Authors: Timmermann Achim
Published: April 2022

This contribution explores a remarkable but very much understudied late medieval roadside monument, the so-called Croix Couverte near Beaucaire in the eastern Languedoc. not only is it one of the earliest extant structures erected in the novel Flamboyant Gothic style, it can also be conclusively linked to the patronage of Jean de Valois, Duke of Berry from 1360, and resident as Lieutenant du Roi at Beaucaire from 1382 to 1384. This study investigates the Croix within several rings of inquiry, which gradually widen as the discussion proceeds, beginning with its local context, and proceeding with a detailed examination of the monument’s place within several architectural traditions (roadside furniture, covered crosses especially; ciboria and honorific baldachins). In order to better comprehend its cutting-edge design, the Croix is then positioned within broader (micro-)architectural trends around 1400, a period often referred to as the age of International Gothic. The final part is devoted to some of the architecturally themed miniatures in Jean de Berry’s famous book of hours, the Très Riches Heures, which reflect and refract many of the broader themes of this study, including the “signing” of landscapes through roadside monuments; the simultaneous control and sanctification of certain locales; and the late medieval fascination with turriform and ciboriform structures in the framing of both the sacred and the political.
St. James the less or St. Bartholomew the Apostle? A Work by El Greco and his Workshop from the Collection of Edmund Bourke
Authors: Nyerges Éva
Published: April 2022

Around 1808–1810, during his time in Madrid, the Danish Ambassador Edmund Bourke may have purchased the painting of St. Bartholomew the Apostle by El Greco which later appears in the 1821 inventory of the Esterházy collection. The Scottish-born George Augustus Wallis was one of the earliest enthusiasts of El Greco; this is proven by a letter he wrote to William Buchanan in 1808, in which he describes the then-unknown Spanish master. The knee-length figure of St. Bartholomew is closely connected to the so-called Study of a Head in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, which is a fragment of a painting of St. Bartholomew likewise originating from a series of Apostles.

Bortnyik und die „Műhely“ •
Authors: Bakos Katalin
Published: April 2022

Bortnyik and the “Workshop”. The graphic design work of Sándor Bortnyik (1893–1976) and the “Hungarian Bauhaus”. In the Hungarian and international art history literature, Sándor Bortnyik is primarily known as an avantgarde artist attached to the circle of the MA (Today/Hungarian Art) periodical established by Lajos Kassák. Less well known is his role in the emergence of modernism in Hungary after 1925. From the very start, his painting and printmaking developed in parallel with and in interaction with his graphic design work. Having spent time in the milieu of the Bauhaus in Weimar between 1922 and 1924, upon his return to Hungary he continued to work not only in painting and printmaking, but also in book art and advertising, as well as photography, toy and furniture design, theatre work, and animation. The transcendence of the boundaries between genres, and even between branches of the arts, and the mutual influence between traditional art problems and processes and new media, are among the characteristic and still influential aspects of the modern culture of objects and visuality that were brought about by the twentieth-century avantgarde movements, and which continued in their wake. The work produced by Bortnyik, who believed that art played a role in shaping society, evolved in this spirit. His private graphic design school, the “Workshop” (in Hungarian: Műhely), was the representative in Hungarian visual culture of the Bauhaus concept of practice-based art training and functionalism, which fed off the ideas of Constructivism. The study provides a brief overview of the later development of his career, and his turn away from the genre of graphic design towards the direct communication of social, and later ideological content in painting and in printmaking.
Prefrontal cortical activation in Internet Gaming Disorder Scale high scorers during actual real-time internet gaming: A preliminary study using fNIRS
Authors: Cho Tae Hun , Nah Yoonjin , Park Soo Hyun , Han Sanghoon
Published: April 2022

Background

Observation of real-time neural characteristics during gameplay would provide distinct evidence for discriminating the currently controversial diagnosis of internet gaming disorder (IGD), and elucidate neural mechanisms that may be involved in addiction. We aimed to provide preliminary findings on possible neural features of IGD during real-time internet gaming using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Methods

Prefrontal cortical activations accompanying positive and negative in-game events were investigated. Positive events: (1) participant’s champion slays or assists in slaying an opponent without being slain. (2) the opposing team’s nexus is destroyed. Negative events: (1) participant’s champion is slain without slaying or assisting in slaying any opponent. (2) the team’s nexus is destroyed. Collected data were compared between the IGD group and control group, each with 15 participants.

Results

The IGD group scored significantly higher than the CTRL group on the craving scale. Following positive events, the IGD group displayed significantly stronger activation in the DLPFC. Following negative events, the IGD group displayed significantly weaker activation in the lateral OFC.

Discussion and Conclusions

Individuals scoring high on the IGD scale may crave for more internet gaming after encountering desired events during the game. Such observations are supported by the correlation between the craving scale and DLPFC activation. The IGD group may also show diminished punishment sensitivity to negative in-game experiences rendering them to continue playing the game. The present study provides preliminary evidence that IGD may demonstrate neural characteristics observed in other addictive disorders and suggests the use of fNIRS in behavioral addiction studies.

The objective: to examine the effects of spinal anesthesia (SA) in the mother and Central hemodynamics parameters blood in utero-placenta vascular circuit when childbirth women operation of caesarean section (CS), practicing techniques to optimize utero-placental hemodynamics. Materials and methods. In order to practice the technique of optimizing hemodynamics of the mother and uteroplacental vascular circuit during the MCA surgery, the CS performed a series of Doppler ultrasound studies in 34 women who underwent the MCA to anesthetize the planned operation, prior to the onset of uterine contractile activity. Blood flow parameters in the uterine arteries and umbilical arteries were evaluated. The measurements were performed using the apparatusPhilips HD 11XE. Results. It has been established that the SA in women with anesthetic, there is a problem quickly advancing and more expressed arterial hypotension, compared with patients’ gynecological operations. Justified and refined technique of optimization of hemodynamics of mother and utero-placental vascular path while carrying out operations by introducing the SA for CS mini-doses of oxytocin (0,1–0,5 units) at the beginning of the spinal anesthesia, which helped to improve the degree of anesthesia safety benefits to the mother and fetus. Conclusion. Use in pregnant women under the influence of spinal anesthesia, carried out with the aim of anesthesia of cesarean section, intravenous administration of oxytocin in a mini-dose (0.1–0.5 units) prevents the development of early and severe arterial hypotension by reducing the potential capacity of the uterine vascular bed and it does not have a negative impact on the state of the fetus. Key words: caesarean section, spinal anesthesia, hemodynamics.

Published: April 2022

Menopausal urogenital syndrome (MMC), formerly known as vulvovaginal atrophy, atrophic vaginitis, or urogenital atrophy, is characterized by clinical symptoms secondary to their clinical manifestation. Genitourinary syndrome during menopause is a hypoestrogenic condition with consequences that affect the condition of the external genital organs, have an impact on sex life and the work of the urinary organs. In one way or another, the symptoms of MMC are manifested in a large number of women: they are noted by approximately 15% of women who were interviewed during the premenopausal period and about 40–54% of the patients during the postmenopausal period. In connection with life expectancy, which is increasing worldwide, this group of women will also expand at the expense of a group of patients over 65 years old, whose share will be 1/6 of the population by the next decade of the 21st century. Thus, MMS is a complex disease, the presence of which is necessary for professionals to know in order to inform the patient in time in order to avoid long-term risks. Selection of therapy is always a balance between eliminating a medical problem, taking into account the risk profile for patients and improving their quality of life. Key words: menopausal urogenital syndrome, atrophic vaginitis, urinary incontinence, chronic cystitis, local estrogens.

The single umbilical artery (SUA) is considered an independent risk factor for perinatal complications. The influence of some endocrine, gynecological and general factors on the occurrence of SUA, the detection of SUA at different stages of pregnancy, and the effect of SUA on the fetal and placental state are assumed. The article presents some features of ultrasound indicators at different trimesters of pregnancy with SUA compared with pregnant women with three umbilical vessels and physiological births in the future. The objective: is to study and analyze some ultrasound indices of the fetus and placenta at different trimesters of pregnancy with SUA, to conduct a comparative characteristic of the revealed features with such indices in pregnant women with three umbilical vessels. Materials and methods. 31 pregnant women with a single umbilical artery of the fetus (study group), 62 pregnant women with 2 umbilical cord blood arteries (control group). Results. In our study in 6 patients (19.4%) of pregnant women with SUA during ultrasound scanning at 12–13 weeks of pregnancy reverse flow in the venous duct was found. According to doplerometry, the flow rate in the fetal aorta in pregnant women with SUA is definitely less than that of the control group, although it does not exceed the normal values. There is a tendency to a greater importance of the cerebroortal index among pregnant women with SUA. Conclusions. In the 12-13 week period, reverse flow in the venous duct can be considered an SUA marker. According to the data of doplerometry in pregnant women with SUA fetuses, there are slight negative changes in the direction of increasing peripheral vascular resistance (according to the blood flow velocity in the fetal aorta) and the tendency to centralize the blood circulation (according to the cerebroortical index). Key words: single umbilical artery, venous duct, doplerometry, cerebroortal index.

The objective: was to reduce the obstetric and perinatal complications in women with the usual miscarriage of pregnancy and the acquired form of thrombophilia by developing, implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of the complex of diagnostic, treatment and preventive measures at the stage of pre-bladder training. Materials and methods. A survey was conducted on 377 patients with a normal pregnancy incontinence. In 140 (37.1%) women, the pathological level of antiphospholipid antibodies was detected. Depending on the type of pre-bladder preparation, women were divided into two groups: the main (I; n = 80) patients were trained according to the proposed method, and the comparison group (II; n = 60), whose patients were trained according to the protocol. The control group included 30 somatically healthy women without disturbing the generative function. The examination included: determination of hormonal, immune status, homocysteine level, infectious profile, determination of antiphospholipid antibodies, hemostasis studies of all stages of hemostasis, consultations of adjacent specialists. Results. The pathophysiological level of antiphospholipid antibodies was found in 37.1% of women with a history of fatal pregnancy. In women of the studied groups, the mild degree of activity of the antiphospholipid syndrome by the level of detected antibodies (10-20 U/D) was 65%, the average degree (20-60 U / D) was recorded at 20%, and in 10% of patients a severe degree was detected (> 60 U.D.). In the group where the developed complex of pre-glare preparation was carried out, the level of antiphospholipid antibodies decreased to normal, the hemostatic potential was normalized, sanation of the secondary infection centers was performed, and the indices of immune and hormonal status were normalized. In patients of Group II, an increased antibody level (> 10 U.D.) was recorded in almost 40% of patients. The algorithm of pre-glare preparation developed by us allowed to reduce the frequency of involuntary abortions and dead pregnancies by up to 22 weeks by 25% and reduce the frequency of preterm births by almost 25%. Conclusion. The developed and implemented program of treatment and rehabilitation measures in the pregravidder period allows to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality in women with the usual miscarriage of pregnancy against the background of antiphospholipid syndrome. Key words: habitual miscarriage of pregnancy, antiphospholipid syndrome, pregravidar preparation, plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin.

The objective: to study the clinical manifestations of uterine fibroids in the postmenopausal period. Materials and methods. 85 patients with uterine myoma in the postmenopausal period were examined. The average age of patients was 58±1.0 (47–80) years. Criteria of inclusion are all patients with uterine myoma of up to 12 weeks of gestation of various localization in the postmenopausal period .In all patients, the clinical and anamnestic manifestations of uterine fibroids were studied. The state of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian system, the determination of the level of the CA 125 tumor. Results. In 47 (55.3%) patients, various clinical manifestations of uterine fibroids were noted: in 37 (78.7%) patients there was pain of varying intensity, in 22 (46.8%) of patients was bloody discharge, in 17 (36.2%) dysuric phenomena, 10 (21.3%) patients had bleeding and 10 (21.3%) patients had defecation disorders. In 34 (72.3%) patients, the presence of menopausal syndrome of varying severity was noted. At the same time, the frequency of mild menopausal syndrome was 23.4% (n=11), moderate climacteric syndrome was 21.3% (n=10), and the frequency of severe degree was 27.7% (n=13). In patients with uterine myoma in the postmenopausal period, there was a significant increase in Prl, DHEA-S, E1 and a significant decrease in the LH / FSH ratio, E2, and Ttot (P<0.05). The changes in the level of the CA125 tumor marker were insignificant and did not represent diagnostic value. Conclusion. Data analysis of the results of this study demonstrated that the main factors affecting the growth and development of uterine fibroids in postmenopause are the presence of hyperprolactinemia, hyperandrogenism of adrenal genesis and hyperestrogenia due to an increase in estrone level, which leads to an imbalance of apoptosis and proliferation mechanisms. Key words: uterine myoma, postmenopausal period, bleeding, hyperandrogenism, hypoestrogenism, climacteric syndrome.
Wartości w prośbach kierowanych do Matki Bożej. Analiza pieśni maryjnych

Published: April 2022

The primary purpose of the paper is to elaborate on the language of values in the prayers addressed to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Marian songs written by Fr. Jan Siedlecki. The analysis of individual hymns revealed the existence of a particular hierarchy in the valence individual values are credited. Whereas the values of sacral, moral, and social nature are given somewhat of a priority, values pertaining to a person’s life are viewed as less relevant; this seems to be in accord with the standard axiology of the Catholic Church. The comparison of valence is most predominately realized by the use of descriptive rather than evaluative language.

The Term Razlichiye in the First Slavic Grammars: Signification and Denotation Issues
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Rebrushkina Irina , Ariskina Olga ,   Ogarev Mordovia State University, Merkulova Inna ,   Voronezh State University
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the term razlichiye functioning in the first Slavic grammars. The research is based on the data contained in the works of Laurentiy Zizaniy and Meletius Smotrytsky, as well as in some later grammatical descriptions. On the basis of etymological, motivational and orienting analyzes, the ratio of denotative and significative components in the structure of the term, which in the first native grammars functioned as razlichiye, was identified. The review of theoretical research papers on the issue is introduced. The variability of the term usage resulting from the studied exponent signification and denotation ambiguity has been revealed. At the opening phase of the formation of grammatical terminology, reflected in the grammars of the Church Slavonic language in the 16 th – 17 th centuries the linguistic personality of grammarians, the cultural context of the era are proved to play an important role. The authors conclude that introducing the term razlichiye in the description of the Church Slavonic grammatical structure was the first step towards understanding the relational meaning of flexion as a morpheme. A comparative analysis of the term and its equivalents functioning in the grammars of ancient Greek, Latin, and Slavic languages has been performed. It was found that the interpretation of the medieval understanding of the term razlichiye as one of the parts of speech is recognized by the majority of modern researchers, but different assumptions are made about the significative and denotative correlation of the term (indicative-relative pronouns or articles). It is assumed that the signification of the term razlichiye in its modern interpretation can be explained as follows: it is a rudimentary inflectional category of syncretic (part-of-speech-and-affixal) nature, embodied in the forms of pronouns i, ja, e. The denotation of the term razlichiye is a transitional phenomenon between the realities corresponding to a definite article, an indicative-relative pronoun and an inflection.

Baudrillard and taking into account the linguistic and semiotic features of up to date advertising discourse, it is shown that advertising communication is a part of the global information and communication space, which tends to multicultural codes, an international semiotic system, when interaction with the audience is carried out on the platforms of web 2.0 network social services primarily using various iconic signs and symbols. These features are found in the conceptual content of consumer society of the concept, which reflects such categories as network society, marketability, demand engineering, handling consumer practices and following consumption models, and also demonstrates the shift of the social hierarchy towards eHomo. It is established that consumer society in the modern global world is organized not by the idea of materialism, but by the idea of a dream, which the advertising discourse transmits through myths and simulacra, stereotyping, influencers, etc. Advertising communication is characterized by the reduction of the verbal component, polycode and multimedia content, striving for social-and-cultural symbols.
Expressing the Dynamics of Linguistic Modality Concepts Through the Matrix Approach
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Kuksa Irina
Published: April 2022

The paper considers the reasons behind the unwavering scholarly interest to the issue of modality, it focuses on key theoretical approaches to the understanding of this concept, and analyses the differences in interpretations of its status, structural foundations and functional origins shared by different schools of linguistic thought. The research proposes a matrix designed approach to describe the variety of scientific views on modality and their dynamics. The left-hand column of the matrix lists the main categories of the content plane which are related to the typical means of expression listed in the upper row. The bottom row contains key theoretical approaches used to describe this or that linguistic universal. The points where these parameters connect in the matrix contain essential typological characteristics of modality. On the one hand, the matrix helps to systematically describe the key characteristics (planes of expression and content, elements of structure, functional importance, etc.) of different approaches to linguistic modality. On the other hand, it integrates different views on the complicated and multifaceted structure of modality as a linguistic category: the matrix objectifies intensified linguistic enquiry into the multidimensional nature of modality, from the formal grammar approach to the functional communicative, from the modality of an utterance to the modality of text. Finally, it highlights the development of a relatively new, pragmatic-communicative view of modality.
Hate Show: Implementation of Hate As a Communicative Phenomenon
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Rebrina Larisa
Published: April 2022

The article focuses on the communicative phenomenon of hate, and the peculiarities of its implementation in Russian hate shows. The composition and types of Russian hate shows, the degree of their theatricality as compared to functioning of hate in reality, the correlation of the phenomenon of hate with different classes of the language of enmity have been determined. The communicative tactics of the hate show participants and the main language means are characterized. It is shown that within the framework of existing hate speech classifications, the hate phenomenon can be considered as mild hate speech implementation in its textual and/or contextual forms. Three groups of hate shows are distinguished. They differ in the general idea, cast, the correlation with the ontological features of hate in reality, and the degree of theatricality in relation to real hate practices: comedy roasts with celebrities in the role of haters demonstrate a high degree of theatricality; roast shows with haters are least theatrical; roast battles significantly deviate from the characteristic features of the hate. It has been established that the communicative tactics of the subjects and objects of the hate have similarities and differences in different types of hate shows. They are determined by the idea, the combination of different targets and the casting of show participants. The main linguistic means of the staged realization of hate include: lexical units with negative semantics. They denote professional, intellectual, moral, and external characteristics of the subject; rhetorical questions; designation of negative emotions and sensations; means of expressing opposition, exaggeration, unreality, communicative distance reduction; precedent phenomena; direct speech.
Modern Word-Formation Processes in the Field of Adverbs and State-of-Being Words (Based on the Material of Internet Forums)
Authors:   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Shchenikova Elena
Published: April 2022

The article focuses on current word-formation processes in the Russian language and the role of adverbs and state-of-being words involved. The Runet forum discourse presents a favourable medium for such processes. The author analyzes new derivatives in the above-mentioned parts of speech found in different Internet thematic forums and present the structural and semantic characteristics of such units with some elements of pragmatic and stylistic analysis. The ways of word-formation revealed in the available sample are considered successively. The most productive word-formation models, derivative stems, affixes, related stylistic devices, etc., are pointed out. It was found out that the most productive way is suffixation, while pure combination, fusion and the prefix-suffixal mode also display noticeable productivity. The status of the suffix -en'ko is discussed. It demonstrates a particular activity within the sample as it is involved in the realization of several word-formation methods at once. We note the frequent use in derivational processes of the stems and affixes evaluating the size (there are both diminutives and magnifying ones), as well as the abundance of various anomalies associated with the creation of new words: alternate steps; oxymoronic, pleonastic, stylistically contrasting combination of derivational units in the derivative word; abnormal graphical/orphographic representation of new derivatives, etc.

The article conveys the need to improve the efficiency of social advertisement. The relevance of the research undertaken is due to the lack of variety and low efficiency of most social-issue related advertisements, placed on posters and billboards, and the requirement for systematic assessment of impact means circulating in advertising. The authors dwell on the analysis of one of the most popular methods of increasing efficiency, namely blending, which is the formation of new words by combining their parts in unusual for the Russian language ways. In advertising this method is used mainly to enhance the expressiveness of the text due to the emergence of unusual associations that are easily created with this technique rather than to name new objects and phenomena. In the field of social advertising, purely graphic blends are distinguished, they are generated by the introduction of various graphic highlights of words or their parts, thus giving the slogan additional meaning; textual-and-graphic blends are constructed by imposing a part of one word onto another; text blends are presented in combining the name of the subject with the evaluative component. The authors also consider it reasonable to single out subject-logical contamination, the case when two completely different images of objects (or word forms) are merged into one image (or word form). Finally, visual blending is distinguished, parts of two objects are combined in one image to create a new image that realizes the idea of a poster; in textual-and-visual blending the meaning of a new combined visual image is explained with the text; lexical blending is formed by combining paronyms (sometimes rather loosely interpreted).
Hotel Websites: Pragmatic Adaptation in Translation from English into Russian and from Russian into English
Authors:   Altai State Pedagogical University, Bozhkova Alena
Published: April 2022

The article focuses on pragmatic adaptation in translation of hotel internet websites from English into Russian and from Russian into English. Tourist content translation itself including hotels web sites translation is not a simple mechanical decoding of information from one language into another but its adequate pragmatic adaptation to linguistic and cultural peculiarities of the target audience. The study material comprises such hotel websites as Radisson Hotels, Сorinthia London, Holiday Inn and the others. The comparative text analysis of the hotel websites shows that the target text should be completely or partially adapted in order to create effective content and preserve attractiveness. In the process of adaptation, such translation transformations as descriptive translation, meaning extension, addition and omission of information, paraphrasing, etc., are used. Transformations are shown to be carried out on the basis of tourist website content assessment regarding cross-cultural peculiarities, including type of cultures, and concepts relevant to culture. In the process of translation, the linguistic means explicating the concept of "privacy", which is significant to British culture, are rendered using such techniques as paraphrasing and explication followed by syntactic deployment of the structure in the secondary text. This study may present interest for tourist discourse experts, creators of multilingual versions of hotels websites, as well as market experts who assess the attractiveness of tourist products.
Eschatological Expectations in the Early Christian Anglo-Saxon Tradition
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Proskurina Anna
Published: April 2022

This article is devoted to the problem of interdisciplinary study of linguacultural transfer based on the material of the Old English poem Judgment Day (I), included in the Exeter manuscript dating back to the 10 th century, considered in the aspect of eschatological expectations in the early Christian Anglo-Saxon tradition. The comprehensive understanding of the end of the world, as shown in the work, is reflected already in the early written tradition. The reference to natural disasters, which lead to the apocalypse, is inherently characteristic of Christian texts. Linguacultural transfer is understood in this article as the transfer of information in time, which is considered in two ways: the momentary transfer of information is communication, while handing the information down the generations is a transfer. The article deals with the issues of information transfer in time and space. As an example of rethinking the values of one culture in the tradition of another, the author cites the memetic theory of religion. The article also shows that the theory of linguacultural transfer can be considered and described from the standpoint of cultural matrices, as well as memes (and memetic complexes). The author emphasizes that the vitality of religious beliefs is precisely due to the linguacultural transfer of information within one generation or through the generations.
