O município de Salvador, primeira capital do Brasil, atualmente se destaca por ter a maior população do Nordeste e ser a quarta maior cidade entre os municípios brasileiros. A capital baiana está localizada no litoral nordestino e possui uma densidade demográfica superior a quatro mil habitantes por quilômetro quadrado, sendo oficialmente dividida em 18 regiões administrativas, que são compostas por 170 bairros [1]. A capital do estado da Bahia encontra-se em um processo de transição demográfica, e por esta razão tem adquirido uma população com perfil mais envelhecido e com baixo ritmo de crescimento. Nesta linha de raciocínio, as estatísticas têm demonstrado que desde o ano de 2000 o índice de envelhecimento da população baiana alcançou da ordem de 25,8% e a partir de 2010 subiu para 44,8%, mantendo-se constante até 2020. Isso significa que, aproximadamente, existem 45 pessoas idosas para cada 100 jovens com menos de 15 anos de idade [2].
Applying digital natural language processing tools to optimize subject teacher training in a multilingual educational environment
Authors: Zaripova Rinata Raisovna
Published: February 2024

The aim of the research is to automate the analysis process of the most common grammatical forms and syntactic structures of a foreign or second language to optimize the content and acquisition of English language programs in the training of future Mathematics teachers for professional activities in a multilingual educational environment. The paper theoretically justifies the necessity of a comprehensive frequency analysis of language structures. Software tools for natural language processing (the Python programming language and the spaCy library) were developed, which were subsequently applied in the course “Methods of Mathematical Data Processing” to identify the most frequent grammatical forms and syntactic structures characteristic of the English language of Mathematics. Based on the data obtained, methodological recommendations were formulated for the content and outcomes of English language programs for future Mathematics teachers in a multilingual educational environment. The scientific novelty of the research lies in using digital natural language processing (NLP) tools for a quantitative and statistical analysis of language data, necessary for the development of methodological recommendations for the content and outcomes of foreign/second language programs for subject teacher training. As a result of the research, it was found that digital natural language processing tools can be used to improve the language training of subject teachers in a multilingual educational environment.
Linguistic and socio-cultural distinctness of the dialect phraseology of Swiss German
Authors: Kopchuk Lyubov Borisovna
Published: February 2024

The study aims to identify and typologize the distinctive features of the dialect phraseology of Swiss German in accordance with the factors of their linguistic and socio-cultural conditionality. The main factors considered are: the specificity of the socio-cultural “background” of a dialect; the identifying and connotative properties of a dialect; formation of special “phraseological symbols” in a dialect; concreteness of dialect images and a dialect’s “aversion” to abstraction; the desire to update figurative foundations; special phraseological creativity of dialect speakers. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the following: the paper is the first to show and substantiate that dialectal phraseology in Switzerland is a separate phraseological subsystem that has significant differences from the phraseology of the literary level due to the special nature of the socio-cultural context of Swiss German dialects. As a result of the study, it has been found that the formation and preservation of an original phraseological subsystem is ensured by the fact that dialectal phraseology draws its images and metaphors from a special conceptual sphere the basis of which is formed by the features of life and worldview that are relevant for speakers of the dialects.
Image of Soviet childhood as a condition for the hero’s self-identification in L. Rubinstein’s mature poems
Authors: Bibergan Ekaterina Sergeevna , Bogdanova Olga Vladimirovna , Ryabchikova Anna Vladimirovna
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of structural, compositional and figurative series of the “catalog” poems “The Appearance of a Hero” (1986), “Mama Washed the Frame” (1987), “This Is Me” (1995) by Lev Rubinstein, which made up his most representative collection “Regular Writing” (1996). The research was undertaken in order to comprehend not only the formal features of Rubinstein’s poems, which modern criticism most often turned to, but also the content and semantic layer of the poet’s “card” texts. The authors of the article differentiate the main ideological and figurative dominants of Rubinstein’s mature poems, identify the existential spaces of the characters contoured in the text, trace the maturation of the persona’s own idea of the world and himself. In particular, the authors consider the motif of the hero’s self-identification, his self-determination in the atmosphere of memories of childhood, of the Soviet past, which is an end-to-end motif for all the analyzed poems. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that it is the first to examine various aspects of the hero’s self-determination within the framework of Rubinstein’s conceptualist poems, to reveal axiological perspectives of the persona’s memories of the Soviet past, the country and himself. As a result, it is proved that Rubinstein’s catalog texts, declared by conceptualists as “meaningless”, are permeated not only with semantic, but also with nostalgic motifs.
Folklore symbolism of I. Bunin’s short story “The Raven”
Authors: Liu Minjie
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to a poetical analysis of Ivan Bunin’s short story “The Raven” (1944), which is a part of the cycle of short stories about love “Dark Alleys”. The research is undertaken in order to comprehend the role of folklore in the formation of the poetic world of Bunin’s love story, to identify the emotional and aesthetic perspectives of the images, motifs, and the central conflict of the short story, which is contextually conditioned and mediated by folklore symbols. The research is novel in that it is the first to analyze in detail the short story “The Raven”, its character system (images of the father, the son, the daughter, Elena Nikolaevna) and to identify the most important folklore components of the central conflict of the story (a love conflict). As a result, it is shown that the active involvement of folklore symbols (the folklorized concept “The Raven”, a color palette of folklore), which were close and understandable to the Parisian community of Russian emigrants, allowed Bunin (who adhered to national traditions, including folklore ones) to bring additional poetic intentions into the text of the shott story, imbued with imagery familiar from childhood and bright fairy-tale emotionality, to bring the perception of the text created in exile closer to the nostalgic memory of the abandoned homeland of Russia.
Linguistic expression of gender status in German: Pros and cons
Authors: Belova Valentina Fedorovna , Lebedenko Galina Aleksandrovna , Shavkun Natalia Sergeevna
Published: February 2024

The study aims to determine the influence of modern social processes in the ethnic society of German-speaking countries on the linguistic component of gender expression in the German language. The paper analyzes the current means of gender identity expression in the German language, emphasizes the role of including the gender parameter in linguistic research. The scientific novelty of the work lies in systematizing modern trends in gender expression, determining the role of language for expressing gender identity, roles and expectations in the German ethnic society. As a result of the study, two main strategies for combating androcentrism in the German language are identified: the replacement of gender-specific linguistic units with gender-neutral ones and the equal use of lexical units of the feminine and the masculine grammatical gender in speech. The analysis of the public reaction to modern innovations in the expression of gender status in language is carried out.
Reconocimiento de la prostitución como trabajo susceptible de protección: diferentes fórmulas jurídicas

Este artículo pretende poner de manifiesto, por un lado, la situación actual y la problemática que conlleva el gran vacío legal existente en relación con la prostitución -a pesar de no ser una actividad ilegal- y, por otro lado, mostrar la posibilidad de regular la prostitución como una actividad económica susceptible de protección jurídica, que puede ser reconocida y regulada como un trabajo, facilitándoles a las personas que prestan servicios sexuales remunerados tanto el acceso a los derechos laborales y sociales en igualdad de condiciones con el resto de trabajadores, como protección ante situaciones de explotación sexual, explotación laboral, trata de personas y todo tipo de abusos, que conlleva la actual situación de carencia de derechos.
Razones para un cambio en la indemnización por despido improcedente
Authors: Gorelli Hernández Juan
Published: February 2024

Tras más de una década de la reforma de 2012, que afectó al despido reduciendo notablemente la cuantía de las indemnizaciones por despido improcedente, ha llegado el momento de reflexionar sobre la eficacia protectora del trabajador de dicha regulación. La conclusión es la necesidad de incrementar la tutela del trabajador, pues dicha reforma supuso una alteración en el objetivo de la normativa sobre despido, que lejos de configurarse como un mecanismo de tutela del trabajador, se ha convertido en un mecanismo para facilitar la extinción al empresario.

La sentencia objeto de este comentario llama la atención por cuanto supone la asunción por parte del Tribunal Supremos del uso de una ley especial, como es la Ley 5/2014, de Seguridad Privada (en adelante LSP), para determinar la existencia de una vulneración de derechos fundamentales. En este comentario a dicha sentencia expongo las implicaciones que desde mi punto de vista conlleva tal argumentación, así como la problemática de alejarse del tradicional juicio de proporcionalidad e idoneidad, más cuando lo que está en juego es precisamente la licitud de una prueba y por tanto el derecho fundamental de la parte a un proceso con todas las garantías.

Examining interpersonal aspects of a mathematics teacher education lecture
Authors: Ebbelind Andreas , Helliwell Tracy
Published: February 2024

In this paper we present findings from an initial phase of a more extensive study focussed on ways in which prospective mathematics teachers negotiate meaning from mathematics teacher education situations. The focus of this paper is on the language of one mathematics teacher educator and specifically the interpersonal aspects from one mathematics teacher education lecture in Sweden for prospective upper-primary school teachers. We draw on the enactivist view of cognition as a theoretical basis for a methodology we develop that utilises Systemic Functional Linguistics as an analytical tool for studying language-in-use. We exemplify our interpretations through a series of extracts from the mathematics education lecture. This initial phase of our study has exposed several important questions about how participating in an initial teacher education situation may contribute to the development of teacher identities, questions we raise throughout our analyses to provoke further investigation as part of our future research.

Unfolding Into Each Other: Examining the Effects of Capoeira with Specifically Anti-Racist, Social Justice-Oriented Instruction on Students’ Empathy
Authors: Delattre Brennan
Published: February 2024

Arts-based approaches within research and therapeutic settings are increasingly being investigated for their benefits to individual and societal mental health. Specifically, activities that rely on creativity and synchronized movement could positively interact with individuals’ ability and motivation to empathize with others, which could translate to mental health benefits downstream. In this study, 205 university students in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil participated in a semester of capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian cooperative movement art, with either capoeira instruction as usual, capoeira instruction with a specifically anti-racist, social justice-oriented enhanced curriculum, or half a term of the standard instruction followed by enhanced instruction. Participants completed the Basic Empathy Scale (BES), which includes cognitive and affective empathy subscales, and other psychological questionnaires prior to and following the semester. Although there was no evidence of a significant interaction of timepoint (pre-post) and curriculum condition in overall empathy, F(2,186)= 1.850, p = .160, nor for affective empathy, F(2,186)= 1.949,p = .145, there was a significant interaction of timepoint and condition for cognitive empathy,F(2,186)= 3.075, p = .049. Specifically, enhanced curriculum participants scored significantly higher than did standard curriculum participants post-semester (p = .037). In a particularly divisive year on both social and political fronts, this interesting preliminary result suggests that including antiracist, culturally sensitive, and social justice-oriented education in creative arts-based social movement activities could potentially interact preservatively with cognitive empathy.

Bulk Lysis procedures alter target cell population counts
Authors: Rico Laura G. , Salvia Roser , Ward Mike D. , Petriz Jordi
Published: February 2024

To achieve high-sensitivity cell measurements (<1 in 10E5 cells) by flow cytometry (FCM), the minimum number of acquired cells must be considered and conventional immunophenotyping protocols fall short of these numbers. The bulk lysis (BL) assay is a standardized erythrocyte lysing approach that allows the analysis of the millions of cells required for high-sensitivity measurable residual disease (MRD) detection. However, this approach has been associated with significant cell loss, along with potential over or underestimates of rare cells when using this method. The aim of this study was to evaluate bulk lysis protocols and compare them with minimal sample perturbation (MSP) protocols, which are reported to better preserve the native cellular state and avoid significant cell loss due to washing steps. To achieve this purpose, we first generated an MRD model by spiking fresh peripheral blood with K562 cells, stably expressing EGFP, at known percentages of EGFP positive cells to leukocytes. Samples were then prepared with BL and MSP protocols and analyzed using FCM. For all percentages of K562 cells established and evaluated, a significant decrease of this population was detected in BL samples compared with MSP samples, even at low K562 cell percentages. Significant decreases for non-necrotic cells were also observed in BL samples relative to MSP samples. In conclusion, the evaluation of the potential effects of BL protocols in obtaining the final count is of great interest, especially for over- or underestimation of target cells, as in the case of measurable residual disease. Since conventional flow cytometry or minimal sample perturbation assays fall short in obtaining the minimum numbers required to reach high sensitivity measurements, significant efforts may be needed to improve bulk lysis solution reagents.

Gender Differences in Metacognition: Global and Local Contrasts in Bias and Efficiency
Authors: Hoogervorst Kelly , Banellis Leah , Fardo Francesca , XUE KAI , Rahnev Dobromir , Allen Micah
Published: February 2024

Metacognition is the ability to monitor our cognitive and perceptual processes. Previous research investigated gender differences in self-confidence and self-esteem, but less is known about gender differences in metacognition. To address this gap, we conducted a study of 317 individuals, who completed global and local metacognitive measures indexing recognition memory, semantic memory, and visual sensitivity. We found both domain-specific and general effects spanning global and local metacognition measures. Females exhibit a systematic negative bias in metacognitive self-beliefs and were also found to update these beliefs more negatively than males. A similar bias was found for local confidence, which was driven by greater sensitivity to errors in females. These effects differed across domains, with the greatest gender differences observed for semantic metamemory. Using computational modelling, we demonstrate that this more conservative strategy is accompanied by an enhanced metacognitive efficiency in females. These results highlight previously unknown gender differences in metacognitive self-monitoring.
Individual differences in face salience and rapid face saccades
Authors: Broda Maximilian Davide , Borovska Petra , de Haas Benjamin
Published: February 2024

Humans saccade to faces in their periphery faster than to other types of objects. Previous research has highlighted the potential importance of the upper face region in this, but it is still unclear whether this is driven by the eye region. Similarly, it is still unclear whether such rapid saccades are exclusive to faces or generalize to other semantically salient stimuli. Furthermore, it is unknown whether individuals differ in their face-specific saccadic reaction times and if so, whether such differences could be linked to differences in face fixations during free-viewing. To explore these open questions, we invited 77 participants to perform a saccadic choice task (SCT) in which we contrasted faces as well as other salient objects, particularly isolated face features and text, with cars. Additionally, participants freely viewed 700 images of complex natural scenes in a separate session which allowed us to determine the individual proportion of first fixations falling on faces. For the SCT, we found advantages for all categories of interest over cars. However, this effect was most pronounced for images of full faces. Full faces also elicited faster saccades compared to eyes, showing that isolated eye regions are not sufficient to elicit face-like responses. Additionally, we found consistent individual differences in saccadic reaction times towards faces that weakly correlated with face salience during free-viewing. Our results suggest a link between semantic salience and rapid detection but underscore the unique status of faces. Further research is needed to resolve the mechanisms underlying rapid face saccades.
Schema-driven prediction effects on episodic memory across the lifespan
Authors: Ortiz-Tudela Javier , Turan Gözem , Vilas Martina Gonzalez , Melloni Lucia , Shing Yee Lee
Published: February 2024

The predictive processing framework posits that brain function is essentially predictive. Internal models facilitate mental time travel by predicting future states against which incoming information is compared. The difference between predicted and actual states, the prediction error (PE), signals novel information. However, the constrains of the further use of PE are not fully understood: In particular, with respect to how PE influence episodic memories across the lifespan. We examine the relationship between PE and episodic memory in children, young and older adults. We use a novel paradigm that uses rich visual narratives to build action schemas and enables measuring different mnemonic aspects. Critically, we manipulate the endings to be either expected, neutral, or unexpected based on the unfolded action. We show that 1) expected endings are better encoded than neutral ones and 2) unexpected endings upregulate encoding of the mismatching event but also of other aspects of the narrative. Moreover, these effects are modulated across the lifespan with PE-driven-encoding being more prominent in children and young adults and with schema integration playing a larger role on memory encoding in older adults. These results highlight the role of predictions in mental time travel by enriching past experiences and informing future anticipations.
I come into the peace of wild things: Integrating human wellbeing with wildlife welfare in nature-based wellbeing interventions.
Authors: Thompson Kristin , Cseh Genevieve M.
Published: February 2024

In positive psychology and other disciplines concerned with human wellbeing, creating interventions encouraging people to spend more time outdoors and interact with wildlife, and nature more broadly, has been encouraged as an important means to improve individuals’ wellbeing. These nature-based wellbeing interventions (NBWIs) may also appeal to nature conservationists as a potential resource to engage people with the natural world and potentially build sense of connection to nature, in the hope that compassion and care for nature is enhanced. However, NBWIs for human wellbeing can, in some contexts, be at odds with wildlife wellbeing in that they can involve recreational practices that disturb wildlife or foster a consumptive or exploitative approach to utilisation of nature as a resource for individual human wellbeing. Here we draw on interdisciplinary literature from ecology, conservation, and psychology to reflect on the potential areas positive psychologists and other wellbeing-concerned practitioners may wish to consider when developing outdoor NBWIs. We offer some solutions via a suggested framework for assessing impacts of NBWIs, and discuss areas for future research to encourage an interdisciplinary approach to developing ethical, wildlife-friendly and nature-connected nature-based interventions which incorporate both human and nature wellbeing, with the hope that wellbeing practitioners and researchers will integrate nature connection theory and wildlife welfare into their practices, at a time when the world faces significant loss of biodiversity.
Time is -ending: Sub-lexical information activates the horizontal Mental Time Line in word processing.
Authors: Abbondanza Martina , Amenta Simona , Rinaldi Luca , Marelli Marco
Published: February 2024

The Mental Time Line (MTL) is a spatial on which earlier events are generally associated with the left space and later events with the right space. Accordingly, past- and future-related words receive faster responses with, respectively, the left and the right hand. Yet, it is currently unclear whether the MTL is activated by the whole word or whether it can be triggered by more subtle sub-lexical cues, such as verb-endings, and whether the activation of this spatial continuum is an automatic phenomenon. The aim of this study is to test whether verb-endings do bring conceptual information that is in turn capable to activate the MTL and whether this activation holds also when the temporal information is not explicitly processed. We designed three experiments. In Experiment 1, consisting of a temporal categorization task, and in Experiment 2, consisting of a lexical decision task, we tested Italian tensed verbs (trov-avo “I found”, trov-erò “I will find”) and pseudo-verbs (trop-avo, trop-erò). Results of Experiment 1 showed that both tensed verbs and pseudo-verbs were spatially coded on the MTL. Results from Experiment 2 showed that the MTL is activated by the verb-endings also when temporal information was task-irrelevant (i.e., lexical decision task). Experiment 3 further clarified that the spatial-temporal congruency effect does not emerge during the evaluation of an inhomogeneous set of stimuli (i.e., when adding to the stimuli time-unrelated fillers). Overall, the present findings indicate that sub-lexical strings carry specific semantic information that comes into play in the generation of spatial-temporal associations.
A Comissão Diocesana: uma resposta da Igreja para enfrentar o abuso sexual de menores
Authors: Colares Fabiano Schwanck
Published: February 2024

O fenômeno do abuso sexual de crianças e adolescentes é um fato global, bizarro e silencioso. Faz-se presente na vida de centenas de famílias, atingindo milhões de menores de idade anualmente. Este fenômeno, que pode ser considerado uma patologia, é, ao mesmo tempo, um delito, pois fere a dignidade da pessoa humana, invadindo a liberdade e tolhendo o desenvolvimento das vítimas. Este mal atingiu igualmente os membros da Igreja: crianças e adolescentes foram abusados por aqueles que deveriam proteger e orientá-los. A Igreja respondeu a este fenômeno com a manifestação dos Romanos Pontífices. Somente um instituto multidisciplinar seria capaz de compreender tal fenômeno, acolhendo e auxiliando as vítimas, bem como agindo em prol da prevenção. Esta plataforma interdisciplinar se denomina Comissão Diocesana de Proteção de Menores.

Aristolochia balansae Franch. belonging to Aristolochiasubgenus Siphisia (Aristolochiaceae) is rarely distributed in Northern Vietnam. This study is the first time to determine the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity from essential oils of leaves collected in Ba Thuoc district, Thanh Hoa province in November 2021. The essential oils from the leaves of A. balansae were obtained by hydrodistillation using Clevenger-type apparatus and analysed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The yield of the essential oil was 0.15% of fresh weight, the essential oil is light yellow, lighter than water. Sixty-three components were identified, which present 78.58% of the total composition of the leaf’s essential oil. The main components were sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The constituents occurring in higher amounts in the essential oil were γ-Eudesmol (6.98% of the total composition of the leaf’s essential oil), α-Humulene (6.22%), β-Selinene (4.5%), Eudesma-4(14),7(11)-diene (3.53%), α-trans-Bergamotene (3.27%), and Limonene (3.02%). This essential oil showed weak antimicrobial activities to most of the tested microbial strains in a concentration of 10%.

Tomato is one of the high-value agricultural crops. The HSP70 gene family is thought to play an important role in plant tolerance to various environmental factors. A family member known as HSC70 is predicted to be involved in plant growth and development, however, its biological functions have not been demonstrated clearly. This study was conducted with the aim to characterise the HSC70 gene in tomato plants and evaluate its contribution to tomato growth through phenotypic analysis of plant mutants with defects in the HSC70 gene. The research results showed that nonsense mutationin the HSC70 gene caused short plant and reduced the seed germination rate and fruit set rate of tomato. However, these missense mutations did not change these phenotypes significantly. The leaf shape, leaf structure, and flowering time of tomato were not affected by the HSC70 mutations. These findings provided preliminary insights for further study on the role of the HSC70gene in the germination, elongation, and fruit setting of tomato plants.

Blood glucose testing, including capillary blood glucose, is the recommended test for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes treatment. Currently, capillary blood glucose testing is performed on point-of-care testing (POCT) with reasonable cost, fast time, convenience, supporting timely diagnosis and treatment. However, in order to select POCT devices that meet quality standards, it is necessary to strictly control the laboratory. Object and method: Confirmation of the capillary blood sugar testing method on the Accu-chek Inform II (Acc-II) machine including the following indicators: accuracy, precision, linear range, comparison of test results according to the recommendations of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) (EP15A3, EP06A, EP09A3). The authors compared results on the testing machine in the central laboratory (Cobas 8000) of blood glucose testing on the POCT machine with the results of whole capillary blood, whole venous blood, and plasma venous samples. Results: Precision, accuracy, and linearity were confirmed as published. The linear range of the method is from 1.6 to 31 mmol/l. The difference between capillary blood glucose pairs and plasma venous glucose, whole blood venous glucose on Accu-chek Inform II and plasma venous blood glucose on Cobas 8000 machine are 6.89, -8.62, and -10.97%, respectively.

En los últimos años los nuevos abordajes   sobre el estudio de la agricultura en el mundo enfrentan serios problemas, y han comenzado a tomar en consideración los procesos globales y sus efectos, como son la contaminación de los recursos hídricos y la degradación del suelo. El Perú no puede sustraerse a esta problemática, sobre todo en esta época en la que la situación se complica debido a la ocurrencia de fenómenos como el cambio climático que se manifiesta en variables como incremento de la temperatura, variación en la precipitación, degradación del suelo, variables que ponen en riesgo la seguridad alimentaria. Como consecuencia se tiene la reducción de la oferta mundial de alimentos y consecuentemente el incremento de los precios (Latella, 2020) (Ramirez, 2010). Los cambios que se vienen suscitando a nivel global, regional y local, ocasionados por los cambios climáticos vienen impactando sustancialmente  en el sector agricultura, causando preocupación no solo en los agricultores, sino también en los economistas, ecologistas e incluso los gobiernos (Viguerra, 2017). El presente proyecto tiene como objetivo hacer una revisión bibliográfica de las tecnologías existentes que sirva como herramienta a los agricultores, que promueva la innovación tecnológica en los diferentes procesos vinculados a la agricultura.

COMPARATIVE COMMUNICATIVE AND SEMANTIC DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL SPEECHES OF EARLY 21ST CENTURY
Authors: Zernetska Olga V. , Zernetskyi Pavlo V.
Published: February 2024

The article develops the traditional rhetorical “issues” contained in inaugural speeches of American presidents as macrotopical entities which are applied to construct communicative semantic structures of those speeches consisting of macrotopics and respective topics in the realm of discourse linguistics. We propose a major rhetorical macrotopical cycle (MRMC) as a basic structure of those speeches. Most general repeated topics (macrotopics) in the Inaugural Speeches are Domestic Issues, International Issues, American Traditions and Other (Reference to the Audience, Reference to God, Application to Himself). Research of communicative semantic peculiarities of the use of such macrotopics in the Inaugural Speeches of the US Presidents of the beginning of the 21st century and their comparison constitute the subject matter of this article. Analyzing MRMCs within each of the Inaugural Speeches produces communicative semantic discourse description of them and gives the possibility to compare them. A tendency to use certain macrotopics in repeated orders in the speeches is found out. To a certain extent in all Inaugural Speeches of the US presidents we singled out the phenomenon which can be called major rhetorical macrotopical cycle which most frequently consists of the following macrotopics: Reference to the Audience – American Traditions – Domestic / International Issues and Reference to God. Communicative semantic structures of those speeches differ between themselves in the of such cycles, forms and subtypes of MRMCs. The peculiarities of the use of MRMCs by American presidents of the beginning of the 21st century are analysed and compared.
