Authors: Gill India , Shah Aashna , Lee Eun Kyung , Sommer Rachael , Ross Kristie , Bole Aparna , Freedman Darcy
Published: September 2022

A systematic review of interventions in community environments found significant reductions in childhood asthma exacerbations leading to emergency department visits and hospitalizations.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Structural and social determinants of childhood asthma inequities manifest within geographic communities that are often segregated. Childhood asthma disproportionately affects Black, Hispanic, and low-income populations. Community interventions have the potential to improve inequities in emergency healthcare. This systematic review was conducted to assess the effectiveness of childhood asthma community interventions and provide a conceptual model to inform implementation of future community interventions.

METHODS

Publications from PubMed, ScienceDirect, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and hand searched references were examined from 2010 to 2021. Community intervention studies among children with asthma were included. Main outcomes were emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Community interventions exclusively focusing on schools or hospitals were excluded. Two reviewers independently assessed eligibility for final inclusion. Emergency healthcare findings were extracted in addition to co-benefits (eg, fewer missed school days and caregiver workdays).

RESULTS

Out of 1856 records, 26 publications met the inclusion criteria. Community interventions were categorized by care coordination (n = 8), policy and environmental changes (eg, smoke-free legislature, traffic reduction models, and green housing) (n = 8), home-based (n = 6), and community-based health services (n = 4). Selected studies indicated that community interventions significantly reduced childhood asthma emergency department visits and hospitalizations through increased caregiver self-efficacy, home environmental trigger reduction, and increased access to healthcare. Because of heterogeneity among studies, we were unable to conduct a meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings show significant associations between community interventions and the reduction of emergency healthcare, suggesting a protective effect for severe cases of childhood asthma.
A história da independência do Brasil desenganada e as memórias sobre a Confederação do Equador na trajetória de João Soares Lisboa
Authors: Ferreira Paula Botafogo Caricchio
Published: September 2022

A partir da trajetória de João Soares Lisboa, único dos réus “condenado por conluio republicano” na primeira devassa política do Império do Brasil, o artigo trata da construção e derrota política de projetos de Brasil que rivalizavam com o da centralização no governo do Rio de Janeiro, sob a dinastia de Bragança. Depois de condenado ao exílio do Brasil, Soares Lisboa aportou em Recife e se juntou à Confederação do Equador (1824), publicando o Desengano aos Brasileiros para “desenganar” seus leitores sobre o protagonismo da dinastia Bragança na história da independência do Brasil. Ao refletir sobre os eventos da história da independência do Brasil e a construção do projeto monárquico do Império pela dinastia de Bragança, Soares Lisboa disseminou no Desengano os princípios de outros projetos de Estado e de nação do Brasil que haviam sido derrotados até então e que ele defendia na organização do “governo Monarco-Democrático” no Correio do Rio de Janeiro em 1822-1823 e que em 1824 só via possível em uma república, tal como propunham os ideólogos da Confederação do Equador (1824). No Desengano, contestava o constitucionalismo de D. Pedro I e de D. João VI, descrevendo uma espécie de natureza dos monarcas que era incompatível com um governo de liberdade. Essas publicações e a participação na Confederação do Equador impactaram a memória sobre a trajetória de João Soares Lisboa na literatura histórica e esta funcionou como referencial para qualificar a radicalidade de outros personagens do período.

Published: September 2022

Partimos da consideração epistemológica de que, por taxonomia e preponderância, teorias psicológicas de aprendizagem são mais basilares e mais restritas do que teorias de educação. De fato, teorias psicológicas de aprendizagem possuem natureza eminentemente descritiva – associada com a elucidação científica de como funcionam os mecanismos por detrás dos processos cognitivos envolvidos na aprendizagem –, ao passo que as teorias educacionais possuem natureza eminentemente normativa – associada com princípios norteadores e critérios de decisão a respeito de o quê se deve ensinar e metodologias a respeito de como se deve ensinar, com o propósito de alcançar dadas finalidades. A partir disso, descrevemos sucintamente as estruturas conceituais da teoria da aprendizagem significativa de David Ausubel e da teoria educacional de Mathew Lipman (formação de comunidades de investigação), articulando-as entre si à luz da classificação proposta. Em seguida, apresentamos e discutimos o modo como se poderia implementar, na prática, a articulação entre as duas teorias, por meio de uma tecnologia educacional, a saber, a pesquisa investigativa, tipificando essa relação na estratégia de aprendizagem associada ao projeto de pesquisa e ao seminário. Por fim, à guisa de fortalecer as conclusões havidas do confronto entre as premissas e a articulação conceitual propostas, ressaltamos algumas conexões explícitas entre o referencial teórico e a tecnologia educacional em evidência.

Published: September 2022

This study aims to analyze quantitatively the factors that affect the career planning of students in the Industrial 4.0 era. A sample of 381 students was taken using a proportional random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using the SEM technique with the help of the SEM AMOS 24.0 program. The results show that career center management, entrepreneurship personality, family environment, entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurship intention contributed both directly and indirectly to student career planning in the Industry 4.0 era, both partially and simultaneously. The results also indicate that entrepreneurship personality is the variable that has the most significant contribution to encouraging students' intention to have a career as an entrepreneur. The research contribution shows that providing appropriate entrepreneurship education, supporting the performance of career center management, strengthening the entrepreneurship personality, and strengthening the role of the family environment, increases student intention in planning careers as entrepreneurs in the 4.0 industrial era.
Applications of automated Petrel workflows in 3D reservoir geologic modelling – A case study
Authors: Nemes István
Published: September 2022

Mature fields have been playing a significant role in the oil and gas realm recently, and redevelopment and optimization efforts are being made globally to prolong the lifetime of these resources. The aim of this study is to showcase the benefits of hydrocarbon reservoir modelling, with a special focus on various aspects of Petrel workflows.

This article is a direct continuation of Nemes et al. (2021), which described the Phase 1 geomodel of the same field described in this study. The Phase 2 geomodel – the scope of the current article – is based on a significantly more complete, more detailed, and fundamentally rebuilt dataset compared to Phase 1. The seismic and petrophysical interpretations were updated, and additional data sources were incorporated into the analysis.

The geomodel was created in Schlumberger's Petrel software, and during the building of it, a comprehensive 800-plus-step, full-cycle, automated workflow was outlined. The created workflow makes the model update faster by a minimum of five times, makes it more transparent and decreases the risk of human error.

The created workflow describes the entire geomodelling process from data loading, via surface adjustments, structural modelling, and property modelling, to a closing of the loop with volumetric calculation. The whole workflow can be rerun easily, and beside the updates made to the geomodel, a full range of quality-check supporting calculations and visualizations were created in order to provide the user with full control.

The geomodel showcased here is a key building block of the ongoing and planned development and redevelopment activities in the field, serves as a tool for well and workover planning, water injection system adjustments and a direct input to dynamic simulation, and also provides direct inputs to the documentation of an updated field development plan.

Fit to provoke fear? Uptakes and textual travels of threatening communications in legal genres
Authors: Bojsen-Møller Marie
Published: September 2022

This article examines what happens when two disparate types of genres collide, here the heterogeneous and illicit genre of threatening communications on the one hand and the fixed and institutional legal genres of legislation, indictments and verdicts on the other. By following the different uptakes (Freadman 1994, 2002) – including the specific types of textual travels (Heffer, Rock and Conley 2013) – of threatening communications into judgments from 50 Danish threat cases, the author both considers how this central piece of language evidence is relayed to the courts and how the overall genre of threats is taken up by the Danish legal system. The findings show that some of the instability of the genre of threats rub off onto the indictments, specifically in their task of relaying the linguistic evidence of oral threats as accurately and transparently as possible. The study concludes that each genre in the legal genre set (Devitt 1991) plays a distinctive role in managing the collision between the heterogeneity of threats and the stringency of the legal system.
The fate of anthropogenic nitrogen in a redox stratified pond: an isotopic approach
Authors:   , Villarroel Luciana
Published: September 2022

The environmental effects of both increased urbanization and eutrophication are of growing global concern. Coastal areas, like those found on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, often experience severe impacts associated with the biogeochemical effects accompanying increased nitrogen pollution. Cape Cod is home to roughly 1,000 ponds and lakes which play an important role in local ecosystems, but the cycling of nitrogen in these waters is not well understood. The goal of this research is to identify the major biogeochemical cycling processes responsible for the fate of nitrogen in a nitrogen-rich, coastal, stratified pond. The investigation was carried out through regular high-resolution measurement and monitoring of environmental conditions, nitrogen speciation, and isotopic composition over the course of a summer. Elevated nitrogen concentrations coupled with strong redox gradients make Siders Pond an ideal place for studying dynamics of nitrogen transformations, giving insight into nitrogen retention or removal, which influence water quality. These data demonstrate significant dissolved nitrogen loss from the pond over the course of the summer as well as internal nitrogen cycling that promotes dissolved nitrogen accumulation to extreme levels in the deepest depths. The physical dynamics of mixing promote a coupling of nitrification and denitrification across this redox gradient, driving N loss while also supplying the sunlit waters with nutrient-rich deep water. A simple time-resolved box model suggests that approximately 50% of the upwardly delivered N is removed, while the other portion supports recycling through photosynthetic uptake. While dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is widely considered refractory material and is rarely measured or reported in environmental studies, here there is evidence for a large and dynamic pool of DON within Siders Pond suggesting important dynamics between organic and inorganic pools in regulating N loss. While nitrate is a commonly used measurement for assessing N contamination, this work highlights the parallel importance of monitoring additional species (including ammonium and DON) for determining eutrophication/contamination. A deeper understanding of Siders Pond can be used to elucidate nitrogen cycling dynamics in analogous redox-stratified systems, including other lakes and ponds, or modern ocean regions such as the Santa Barbara and Cariaco Basins and the Baltic and Black Seas.
Saleyard Bridge, UK – an improved approach to precasting steel–concrete composite bridge decks
Authors: Wheatley Robert N. , Niblett Joe , Hendy Chris
Published: September 2022

Saleyard Bridge carries the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road over the River Clydach near Gilwern, Monmouthshire, UK. It comprises a 67 m single-span steel–concrete composite multi-girder superstructure made integral with the abutments. A full-depth precast deck was chosen to tackle site constraints and improve constructability. The alternative precast panel connection detail developed used straight laps to overcome the problems that can arise from using typical U-bar loop type connections between precast deck panels. The successful use of the precast panels proved that a deck design with straight laps was a practical alternative. The ability to increase the multi-beam centres and avoid cantilever edge formwork created a more economical solution with savings estimated at £500 000. The paper examines the detailed design and construction planning needed to realise the savings and speed up construction as well as improving site safety. The lessons learnt are also applicable to the wider use of precast panels as an alternative to in situ concreting.
Bayonne Bridge, USA: raising the roadway
Authors: Spoth Matthew , Haight Roger
Published: September 2022

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's Bayonne Bridge crosses the entrance to the ports of Newark and Elizabeth, NJ, USA. The longest steel truss arch span in the world when it opened in 1931, the bridge was designed by Othmar Ammann. To maintain the economic vitality of the ports, the original 46 m navigational clearance needed to be raised to 65.5 m in order to accommodate mega container ships passing through the newly widened Panama Canal. Precast concrete segmental construction was used along with an innovative staged construction approach to avoid long-term bridge closures and to expedite the construction schedule. The new navigational clearance was attained in 2017 and project completion occurred in mid-2019.
Investigation on electromagnetic pulse shielding of conductive concrete
Authors: Das Nabodyuti , Mahadela Ajay Singh , Nanthagopalan Prakash , Verma Gyanendra
Published: September 2022

Electromagnetic radiation is generated naturally or artificially by weapons capable of affecting the power grid and modern electronic devices; this poses a threat to a nation's defence, hospitals and communication systems. This study focused on designing and developing electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding cement-based concrete using locally available materials. The shielding effectiveness (SE; in dB) of conductive concrete was assessed using a newly designed and fabricated metallic testing chamber with a monopole antenna (1.46 GHz) and a vector network analyser. A maximum SE of 36 dB was achieved experimentally in conductive concrete with magnetite and graphite aggregates and 2% steel fibres. The developed conductive concrete has a higher (around three times) SE than normal concrete with a similar range of compressive strength. A simulation study was carried out to predict the SE of the developed conductive concrete with the aid of CST Microwave Studio simulation software and validated with experimental results. The durability of the conductive concrete was assessed; it was observed to have low permeability and porosity. The research outcomes of this study form a stepping stone towards the design and development of conductive concrete against EMI.

Abstract: Outcome-based education (OBE) by Washington Accord (WA) promises to improve the technical education system by clarifying expectations for students and focussing assessment on specific learning outcomes for better measurement of student achievements. Numerous publications describe the process and results of OBE implementation in India. This article is a meta-analysis of research articles documenting the OBE efforts made by Indian engineering institutes. The study implements the established objective approached based reviewing technique. A rubric comprising seven distinct measurements was applied to assess critically selected articles. The detailed assessment indicates that there is a lack of empirical validation of the results obtained by the researchers. The papers were also found to lack a consistent understanding of CO-PO mapping. Hence, there is a clear research gap of statistical validation of the results using pre and postimplementation data for a given improvement.

Abstract: During campus Interviews, the student's cognition is the Employers desideratum. They have incertitude regarding the same due to the scholastic system which is exam-oriented. It thus is an obligation on the teacher's part to ascertain that students get more proactive during the classroom sessions. Problembased learning (PBL) could be an effective alternative tool for boosting their interest and involvement in technical education. As Symbiosis Institute of Technology is an autonomous body, the freedom of adopting a different teaching method was used. In this study, the first week of the academic semester was converted into a week full of PBL activities instead of regular classes on a cohort of students from diverse background. This was done to understand if students could apply pre-requisite knowledge that they gained through regular tutelage. To test the usefulness of the concept of PBL in technical education, few activities were planned to introduce students to new concepts allied with the course structure of that semester. The study showed that students had limitations in the application of prerequisite knowledge and 10% couldsolve the problem completely. 62% of students were successful in doing new tasks using the PBL technique. 8% of students were able to reach to correct solution. Thus, student engagement can be boosted by the use of PBL pedagogy in technical education. Keywords: Problem-based learning, Technical Education, Engineering, Employability

Abstract : In recent times, in addition to the conventional teaching methods, new pedagogical initiatives are indispensable to elongate the attention span of the present students from generation Z and generation alpha. Jigsaw is one of the Collaborative teaching practices which involves facilitators working in tandem with the students, instructing and mentoring them to solve problems. This paper presents the implementation of an enhanced Jigsaw learning method for teaching Circuit Analysis course for first-year students. Instead of randomly assigning students to groups, the proposed enhancement in the Jigsaw learning method presents diverse teams based on student personalities (Triguna levels – Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas). Such diverse groups become effective learning units and ensure team coherence. Minute feedback was obtained at the end of the session to analyze the effectiveness of the proposed enhanced jigsaw method. The feedback analysis indicates a paradigm shift in the students' level of understanding, and the assessment scores of Tamas students had a significant improvement of 20%. Also, the post-session data shows a boost in the confidence level of the students in solving different DirectCurrent (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) based electric circuits. A comparison between the conventional teaching method and the enhanced Jigsaw teaching-learning process is also presented. The results indicate that this method proves to be effective both from the students' learning and the faculty's teaching perspective. In addition to improving the desired learning outcome, the enhanced Jigsaw method also makes the learning process enjoyable. Keywords : Teaching-learning process, Jigsaw method, Triguna levels, Electric circuits, circuit analysis, active learning.

Published: September 2022

Abstract : Actions to organize learning under the conditions of coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) are currently being taken worldwide. In most countries, learning institutions are fully or partially closed, while all students are adopting distance learning. Closure of universities and emergency adoption of distance learning are related to obvious issues mainly caused by insufficient equipment and no or poor preparedness of teachers to work in new conditions. The current level of hardware and software development, limited opportunities of the Internet, and the level of distance learning organization fail to ensure high-quality education that would be comparable to traditional offline classroom education. These and other issues challenge the education system in a crisis situation. This study intends to analyze the modern situation and measures taken to arrange distance learning in the conditions of leaving conventional classroom learning for distance learning. This gave an insight on preparedness of students, university teachers to ensure continuous education in the time of crisis. The obtained data revealed primary issues of adopting distance learningand advantages of online studies, the need to develop and implement a new model of learning process that can be called combined. Traditionally, this model combines full-time attendance using online courses with synchronous distance learning. The article describes the revealed drawbacks of MS Teams in the learning process and solutions on how to eliminate them. Keywords : online learning - COVID-19 pandemic; higher education; adopting distance learning.
Dialogues with the Artist and Functions of Pictures in Arkady Stavitsky’s Play ‘Good afternoon, Mister Gauguin!’
Authors:   Perm State Institute of Culture, Zagorodneva Kristina V.
Published: September 2022

The article analyzes Good Afternoon, Mister Gauguin!, the only ekphrastic play by modern Russian playwright and screenwriter Arkady Stavitsky (1930-2020), in the context of the writer’s works and taking into account approaches to the study of ekphrasis and visuality in drama. Following the intermedial approach, the research involved the study of works on art criticism and biographies dedicated to Gauguin’s life and work. Stavitsky focuses not only on the personality of the famous artist Paul Gauguin but also on his works created in the late 80s and early 90s of the 19th century. The ekphrasis of the picture ‘Good Afternoon, Mister Gauguin’ is present in the detailed remark at the beginning of the play. The title of both the picture and the play reflects the emotional state of the hero and ‘loops the finale’. The picture ‘The Yellow Christ’ symbolically sharpens the conflict between life and art, art and society. Stavitsky rethinks Gauguin’s character through his relationship with female characters in the play: the characters of Anna, Juliette, and Mette refer to the images of the myrrh-bearers at the foot of the cross in the picture ‘The Yellow Christ’ or ‘three Joans of Arc’ in the painting ‘Breton Women’.The pictures mentioned in the play are mostly by Paul Gauguin and his friend Emil Necker. Accordingly, while the pictures of the former are real, those of the latter are fictional. The generalized character of Emil Necker in the play suggests a parallel with S. Maugham’s novel The Moon and Sixpence. Necker’s picture ‘A Woman with a Child’ refers the reader to the famous canvases of Western European painters on the plot of the Virgin and Child. Emil’s wife Anna becomes one of the models for Gauguin’s works – the painting ‘Loss of Innocence’ and the sculpture ‘Be in Love and You Will Be Happy’, revealing the other side of her nature. The conflict between Anna and Juliette, another one of Gauguin’s models, is dramatized in the scene with a sketch for these works. The image of Van Gogh, depicted in the play as an unrecognized but ingenious artist, unites and contrasts Emil and Paul. The playwright’s familiarity with the published correspondence between Gauguin and Van Gogh, Gauguin and his wife Mette is obvious. The dialogism of the picture whose name is reproduced in the title of the play correlates not only with the dialogues in the play, organized around other pictures, but also emphasizes the author’s contradictory attitude toward his hero.
William Godwin’s Novels ‘Italian Letters’ and ‘St. Leon’ Viewed in the Context of the Author’s Creative Development
Authors:   Institute of Foreign Languages, Ryazan State University named for S. Yesenin, Seregina Maria A.
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the study of the ideas, themes, plot and style of the novels Italian Letters and St. Leon by English writer, journalist, and political philosopher William Godwin. It contains a comparative analysis of the aforementioned works conducted with the aim of defining the main ways of the author’s worldview and style development and deeper study of little-known early novels by W. Godwin. The author comes to a conclusion that the two novels possess a considerable likeness, which proves the succession of ideas present in early and later works of the writer. At the same time, the differences in genre, diverse approaches to character development, changes in the author’s position on the main sources of human motivation indicate a progressive and consistent development of philosophical and socio-political views of the author. The research appears to be topical as there is a clear need for deeper investigation into Godwin’s work and determining the role and place of his novels in the world literary process from Enlightenment to Romanticism. The novelty and originality of the research consist not only in studying little-known early works by Godwin but also in using complex analytical method to investigate various theoretical, historical, and literary aspect of his works. This allows broadening the field of study of the 18th century British literature. The practical value of the research is that its results can be used in courses on international literature and theory of translation. The article makes use of the works devoted to William Godwin’s works, including the articles by M. Alekseev, A. Bondarev, V. Reshetov, B. S. Allen, P. Clemit, E. O’Brien, H. Stark, B. Turner, M. Hindle, M. Philp.

The article considers the category of hostility, or intolerance (the terms are used as synonyms), as a binary unity of its sociocognitive and communicative dimensions. Communicative categories are characterized in the paper as the most general concepts that organize a person’s knowledge about communication and the norms and rules of its implementation. Special attention is paid by the author to the communicative category of tolerance, which – according to its main characteristics (these include its anti-conflict and non-categorical character as well as non-impositivity) – is adjacent to the category of politeness. It is emphasized that communicative politeness and communicative tolerance are not identical in their nature. Based on the research by O. A. Mikhailova, the cognitive, ethical, and pragmatic foundations of the category of tolerance are described. It has been established that the category of hostility, or intolerance, is based on the same cognitive grounds as the category of tolerance, namely on the category of alienness and the category of identity that are represented in the speaker’s mind by friend-or-foe (we vs. they) opposition and play an important role in determining a person’s place in the world. The ethical foundations of the category of hostility are the categories of good and evil, as well as good and bad, which are not only of ethical but also of cognitive nature: the knowledge of good is used by a person to justify certain value positions. The pragmatic basis of the category of hostility is the motivation of subjects that is directly related to their psychological attitude. It is the motivation of the subject that allows us to study the sociocognitive dimension of the category of hostility and, as a consequence, its communicative aspect in more detail.

The article examines the problem of role and place of intellectual expression in scientific discourse. The notion of ‘intellectual expression’, which has not been developed so far, is introduced into scientific analysis. Intellectual expression is regarded as a means of forming and expressing new scientific knowledge in a text. The sense-organizing, text-forming, and stylistic-verbal functions of intellectual expression are described. It is stated that intellectual expression serves as a marker of the peculiarities of the idiostyle of a text’s author. Idiostyle is understood as a specific way of meaning verbalization in academic works of a specific linguistic personality, as a result of which the discourse itself is characterized by a dominant way of organization. For the analysis of specific characteristics of idiostyle, the complex approach is suggested, which unites functional-stylistic and cognitive-axiological methods, making it possible to analyze the dynamics of sense forming, captured in the ‘verbal fabric’ of the text, as well as to interpret the role and place of language and speech units in these dynamics. The units of analysis are cognitive-evaluative actions and extended variative repetitions. The term-notion of intellectual expression is suggested; semantic, text-building, and stylistic-verbal functions of intellectual expression are discussed. It is concluded that M. N. Kozhina's idiostyle is imbued with a high degree of intellectual expression, which is predetermined by a large number of evaluative and cognitive actions and extended variative repetitions of different kinds and functions found in the text. The paper argues that the process of verbalization of new scientific knowledge in the text is carried out by means of cognitive evaluation as a deliberate choice by the author of a particular logical action, which is necessary, in the opinion of the scientist, in this particular fragment of presenting a scientific idea.
Vocabulary of Lapidary Art in the Urals

The article deals with the vocabulary of gem stone processing mainly recorded in the Ural region. The cutting of precious and ornamental stones was found to have the greatest number of specific designations among various types of lapidary art, which is due to the peculiarities of this work (repeatability of finished forms). The expanded term system of cutting art is practically not reflected in linguistic dictionaries and is beyond the attention of most native speakers; however, the multiplicity of names used and subtle differences in their semantics indicate its high importance among the ‘masters of stone work’. The paper identifies the main thematic groups that can be referred to the vocabulary of cutting: first of all, these are the parts of a cut stone, studied through an example of classic diamond cut, and variants of finished products; in addition, the process and stages of work with a stone as well as the assessment of processing capabilities and results receive verbal embodiment. The paper makes an attempt to identify possible sociolinguistic layers of vocabulary since, despite the fact that formally the entire lexical array can be considered professional, there is heterogeneity of stone processing names (colloquial, outdated, and geographically limited variants). The main source of the material is recordings of conversations with gem cutters; part of the data that make up the catalog ‘Vocabulary, toponymy, and ethnography of stone’ (Ural Federal University) is first introduced into scientific circulation.

The article deals with the mechanisms of commercial naming in present-day English. Commercial naming is understood as linguistic naming of various products and businesses used for commercial purposes and aimed at obtaining financial benefit. In spite of the constantly emerging and developing markets, technologies, and brands, and, consequently, the continuous creation of new product names, commercial naming is still a relatively new area within onomasiology, which necessitates linguistic research and in-depth interpretation of the main features and trends in commercial naming. The authors analyze makeup product names of eight British and American brands on the websites Space NK and Sephora. The analysis covers 304 names. The following trends in the creation of commercial cosmetic names have been identified: the use of graphic means (capital letters and special symbols), phonetic devices (alliteration and rhyme), nonce words, colloquial and slang phrases, the incorporation of cultural allusions and foreign language insertions. The motivational classification of makeup product names reveals that the majority of these names are object-based names with indirect motivation, a considerable part of which are associative-contrastive names. Such names enable the name giver to convey the objective link to the object, to distinguish it from other objects of the same type (for example, to define the color of the cosmetic product), and at the same time to display the linguistic-creative potential of the name giver. The majority of names not motivated by the object are those with direct motivation, performing the function of advertising. Such names reveal the pragmatic potential of commercial names, whose aim is not only to describe the object but to get the attention of the potential customer.
Types of Titles in Enigmatic Texts by German Authors

The article is devoted to the study of the types of titles in enigmatic texts written by German authors in the late 18th – early 20th centuries. It considers the views of domestic and foreign researchers on the functional potential of the title in the structure of a text. The following functions of the title are described: naming, attraction, content-shaping, intertextual, decoding, text-forming, and aesthetic. In addition, linguists' views on the title as one of the means of expressing the orientation of a text toward a particular addressee are outlined. As part of research on the preconditions for the emergence of titles of German-language riddles, the paper focuses on the role of the collection of riddles by Roman poet Symphosius in the development of German-language enigmatic texts and the influence of the works by epigrammatic poet Marcus Valerius Martial on it. The empirical research is based on the methods of component, contextual, and stylistic analyses. A corpus of titles was formed with the help of the directed sampling method. The study of the semantic connection between the title and the enigmatic text encoded in the title made it possible to identify three types of titles: metaphorical enigmatic titles, classical titles, and dedicatory titles. The title-metaphor type is represented by two subgroups. One subgroup consists of titles-metaphors whose motivation is obvious without reading the enigmatic text. Titles-metaphors of the other subgroup, on the contrary, represent an additional mystery for the addressee. Classic titles serve as a semantic convolution of the enigmator; titles-dedications express the addresser's intention through in addressing a particular individual. It is concluded that the title as an atypical structural element of enigmatic text demonstrates semantic diversity and creates an additional pragmatic load for this type of text.
