The objects of the study were plants of 14 varieties of durum wheat Triticum durum Desf. A structural analysis of the productivity elements of plants cultivated in the field in 2020, 2021 and 2023 was carried out. The varietal features of the formation of productivity elements of durum wheat varieties of Saratov breeding in different meteorological conditions are revealed. Based on the peculiarities of the formation of the main elements of ear productivity, varieties with a balanced type of morphogenetic systems have been identified. In 2020, the variety with a balanced type of morphogenetic systems in terms of ear productivity elements – the number of spikelets, the number of grains and their weight is the Luch 25 variety, in 2021 – Nikolasha and Zolotaya Volna. In the conditions of 2023, balanced varieties were not found for all elements of ear productivity – the number of cones, the number of grains and their weight. Balanced varieties were determined according to two productivity elements: Nikolasha and Zolotaya Volna varieties are balanced in terms of the number of spikelets and the weight of the grain, the Lilac variety is balanced in terms of the number of grains and the weight of the grain. The values of the breeding indices – Mexican, Canadian, and the index of linear ear density – were determined. A variety was identified in which the values of the breeding indices for the entire period of the study were unchanged – the Saratov 40 variety of the Mexican index. The Elizabethan variety among all 14 varieties is characterized by the minimum values of the linear density index of the ear for three years.

The paper presents modern data on the distribution of Ephedra distachya L. an attempt was made to model the bioclimatic range of the species using the maximum entropy method and compare the obtained data with the range defined in the report «Flora of the USSR», taking into account additions from the monographs «Flora of the European Part of the USSR» and «Geography of Trees plants of the USSR». MaxEnt modeling of the potential range of E. distachya was carried out on the basis of the herbarium collections of Saratov State University (SARAT), the GBIF database and the Plantarium electronic atlas. A total of 6973 species location points were used. In accordance with the obtained bioclimatic model, in the modern climate the most favorable conditions for the existence of the species are on the coasts of the Black, Azov, Marmara, Mediterranean and Caspian Seas, in the territories of the former AzSSR, Ukrainian SSR and Georgian SSR. In the RSFSR (modern Russian Federation), the species is optimally located in the Volga, North Caucasus and Southern federal districts. A sharp narrowing of the potential range is observed in the Ural and Central Federal Districts of the Russian Federation, as well as in the territories of the former TurSSR and KazSSR. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by the high AUC (Area Under Curve) score, which is 0.933 for training data and 0.930 for test data. Climatic parameters have been established that influence the distribution of the species, in which its existence is optimal. The greatest contribution to the construction of the model after permutation was made by isothermality (32%), average annual temperature (23.1%), average monthly daily temperature amplitude (12.4%), as well as the maximum temperature of the warmest month (11.6%). A correlation analysis of the parameters that made the greatest contribution after permutation was carried out. When estimating the error using the jackknife method, a variable (average annual temperature) was obtained that contains the most information that is not in other variables; the exclusion of this variable leads to deterioration of the model.
PSYCHO-PHONO-SEMANTIC POTENTIAL OF A FEMALE NAME: AN ALGORITHM OF ATTRIBUTIVE GRADATION
Authors: Druzhinets M. L.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the psycho-phono-semantics of female names by the author’s algorithm. The purpose of the study is to find out the functions of the sound of female names according to a gradation algorithm based on phonetic content and colour associations of vowel sounds. Objectives of the study are: to present the psycho-phono-semantics of vowel sounds based on empirical studies; to substantiate the phonetic content of the female noun according to the attributive algorithm gradation (names with the status of very, more, the most); to present the colour range of the female noun based on the stressed vowel(s); to find out the role and functions of the psycho-phono-semantics of the female noun. The object of the study is the psychological features of the sound organisation of female names. The subject of the study is the phonetic content and colour of the most popular names according to the author’s algorithm. The actual research material was based on data from the Ministry of Justice, which lists the most popular female names. Using the author’s algorithm of attributive gradation, the phonetic content of female names based on vowel sounds was studied for the first time. For the first time, the colour scheme of a female noun was studied based on all vowel sounds of the name.
The common attributive meaning beautiful in all of female names may be related to the phonetic properties of the vowels or perhaps historical associations that these names have. Differences in other associations and attributes may be due to other phonetic details of each name and the specifics of their cultural usage.
Analysis of colour associations and semantics of names with different vowels but with unstressed [i] is interesting. The sound [i] can have different correlations with colours that arise as a result of phonetic features. Names with vowels can have a wide range of colours.
The psycho-phono-semantics of the feminine noun plays an important role in the perception and understanding of names, determining what associations, impressions and emotions female names evoke. The phonetic meaning of names is subjective and may vary depending on the on the perception of the individual. A proper name, in addition to its phonetic properties, always carries a personal identity and history, and this is also an important aspect of its semantics.
Prospects for further research of the stated problem are in a thorough study of the psycho-phono-semantics of masculine and feminine nouns based on the phonetic content and colour associations of vowels and consonants using the algorithm of attributive gradation.
HISTORICAL EVENTS INFLUENCE ON THE FORMATION OF MILITARY VOCABULARY IN THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST AND SECOND WORLD WARS)
Authors: Varava S. V. , Ivleva S. M.
Published: October 2024

The paper deals with the influence of various historical events on the emergence, evolution and adaptation of military terms in the Ukrainian language. The object of research is the military vocabulary of the Ukrainian language, and the subject is the processes of its formation under the influence of historical circumstances. The study focuses on the identification and analysis of specific military terms that arose in different historical periods, namely, during the First and Second World Wars. The article examines the reasons and circumstances of the appearance of certain lexemes or word combinations, their consolidation in the military terminology system, as well as how these terms are defined and described in modern dictionaries.
The methodological basis of the research includes historical-comparative analysis, methods of semantic and etymological analysis, as well as a contextual approach to the study of terminology. Special attention is paid to how social and political circumstances influenced the transformation of military lexicon and its adaptation to the modern linguistic environment. The study also investigates the preservation and relevance of these terms in today’s usage, particularly in military literature, official documents, and mass media.
A complex analysis model of the influence of historical events on the formation of the term system of military vocabulary in the Ukrainian language is proposed. As a result of the research, several possible options for changing the initial meaning of the military term will be demonstrated. The research conclusions are interesting not only from a linguistic point of view, but also contribute to a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical processes that influenced the development of the language. These results can be useful for linguistic studies, creation of dictionaries, for teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language, and development of educational materials for foreign students studying the Ukrainian language.
NEW MEANINGS OF PERMANENT MEDIA ONYMS WITH COMPONENT INVINCIBILITY
Authors: Syzonov D. Y.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the semantic load of media onyms updated in the infospace of the new time. Today, phrases such as invincible city, invincible people, invincible country, etc. have become dominant in mass communication, which acquire the status of semantically condensed media onyms, and their features are precedent, stable reproducibility, semantic integrity. Due to the fact that these units are expressively and emotionally colored, their semantic scope also changes. The purpose of the article is the analysis of new semantically condensed media onyms, which represent in the mass consciousness conceptualized linguistic phenomena with the component unbreakable, which can be endlessly formed in accordance with the background knowledge of the recipients and the semantic landmarks of the modern infospace: the invincible city (Kyiv, Odesa, Mariupol, Kharkiv, etc.), an invincible mayor (Vitaliy Klitschko, Igor Terekhov, Vitaliy Kim, etc.), an invincible country (Ukraine, Israel, Georgia, etc.). It was noticed that these units are close in their structure and semantic-stylistic potential to media phraseology, which verbalize objective reality and are used in communication as communicative "glues" for the cumulative and manipulative purpose of the message. It has been proven that new constructions become a kind of semantic triggers of media messages in new informational realities: invincible warriors, invincible Irpians, invincible prisoners, invincible armed forces, etc. The article draws attention to the universalization of onyms in the media space: it is about the use of the meaning-making concept INVINCIBILITY, which is used in relation to Ukraine and Ukrainians in the foreign press. Therefore, the formation of new cognitive meanings by media onyms was observed, which was generated by the Russian-Ukrainian war and is a segment of the semiotic system of the globalized information space of the world.

Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of structural features of English pictonyms — proper names of paintings. Pictonym is a subclass of imageonym, which is a subclass of artionym, which, in turn, is a subclass of ideonym. Proper names of paintings are an under-researched area of onomastics that attracts the attention of many scientists because proper names play an important role in the spiritual development of society and have their own unique features that distinguish them from other onyms. The purpose of the article is to examine the structural division of English pictonyms. The object of the research is English pictonyms. The subject of the study is the peculiarities of the structural characteristics of English pictonyms. The research material is a selection of 500 English pictonyms from the catalogues of the National Gallery located in London, the Royal Gallery located in Buckingham Palace (London), the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the National Gallery of Art located in Washington, the Yale Center for British Art in downtown New Haven, Connecticut, and specialised art websites. During the study, a descriptive method was used to analyze the actual material, as well as a statistical method to count the number of English pictonyms analysed. Based on the general classification of M. M. Torchynskyy, pictonyms were divided into three groups: simple, complex and compound. It was found that the vast majority of the analyzed units belong to the compound type and structurally represent a group of word combinations. Phrases, combined abbreviations, word combinations, and sentences are followed by quantitative indicators. A smaller number of simple pictonyms, of which affixational and non-affixational ones are distinguished by their structural features. The smallest part consists of complex names, among which we are able to identify proper composites, affixational composites, and abbreviations.

SEMANTIC SPACE OF THE UNIVERSAL MORAL AND ETHICAL CONCEPT ЖАЛІСТЬ/SYMPATHY
Authors: Filippova Nina
Published: October 2024

The paper deals with the study of the concept ЖАЛІСТЬ/SYMPATHY in Ukrainian and English languages which can be considered rather relevant for the present-day political, economic, social and educational situation in Ukraine because it is the universal, moral and ethical emotion concept which is utilised as the element of war professional propaganda via specific formats and technologies to deliver social and political impact and manipulation on the existing system of social and political views and outlooks. The concept was selected as the basic unit for the analysis because it is defined as the operational memory unit, the mental entity, the result of knowledge objectivisation. Moreover, as the concept functioning relates to specific national context and particular conditions of society existence, it can express its semantic potential and adapt it in accordance with the existing value priorities at a particular stage of society development and cause purposeful influence or even manipulation on its members. The comparison of the semantic spaces of the universal moral and ethical concept ЖАЛІСТЬ/SYMPATHY in Ukrainian and English languages has revealed the fact that this mental unit is determined as important in moral and ethical paradigms in the both languages because it it is stipulated for the basic human antithesis "good/evil". In Ukrainian it relates, to more extent, to emotional feature of moral, ethical value of both humans and any living creatures implying the desire to introduce not only love, pity, weal for others and even an element of empathy. In English it also expresses spontaneous irrational emotional response to any misfortune or disaster, but, at the same time, implies the pragmatic decision-making to render some practical assistance. The results of the study can be used for teaching semiotics, cognitive linguistics or PR technologies.

Authors: Zavalska L. V.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of structural and semantic features of the main speech genre of presidential rhetoric — the inaugural speech. We characterized the main approaches to defining the speech genre and highlighted the structural components of the inaugural speech in political discourse.
The purpose of the study is to reveal the structural and semantic features of the presidents’ inaugural speeches presented in Slavic languages (Ukrainian, Polish, Slovak and Serbian). The object of the research is the presidential discourse implemented in the speech activity of the presidents of Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia and Serbia. The subject of the study is the structural components and semantic features of the inaugural speeches in the presidential discourse.
We analyzed the inaugural speeches of the presidents who held this position in the first half of 2024: Volodymyr Zelensky (Ukraine), Andrzej Duda (Republic of Poland), Zuzana Čaputová (Slovak Republic), Aleksandar Vučić (Republic of Serbia). The material for the analysis was the texts of the inaugural speeches delivered by the presidents in the last term. The methods of component and linguistic stylistic analysis were used to analyze the structural and semantic features of the inaugural speeches. The component analysis made it possible to consider the lexical semantics, and the linguistic stylistic analysis became the basis for determining the stylistic features of the texts.
The structure of the inaugural speech covers the framework elements of the greeting, conclusion, formulation of the political creed. Speech acts of thanksgiving are the main structural elements of the inaugural speech of the presidents. At the semantic level, the inaugural speech contains a description of the political situation in the country in the context of historical events and a specification of program provisions of a priority nature. Common elements for the inaugural speeches of the presidents of Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia and Serbia are the presence of mandatory structural elements, the dominance of speech acts of thanksgiving, appeals to the historical past and the formulation of future political steps. Among the specific features of presidential speeches, the use of ethnonyms in the speeches of V. Zelenskyi and A. Duda was recorded; the dominance of references to ancient history in the speeches of A. Duda and O. Vuchich; V. Zelenskyi’s criticism of the previous government, in particular the country’s presidents.
FUNCTIONING OF AN EDUCATOR IN A DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Truba H. M.
Published: October 2024

In the current period of development of higher education in Ukraine, there is active integration of digital technologies, which radically change the usual pedagogical approaches and methods of teaching. Digitalization of education opens paths to autonomy in learning and individualization of the educational process, simultaneously generating challenges associated with the need to adapt to a rapidly changing educational environment. The main goal of this article is to analyze the new opportunities and challenges arising from the implementation of digital technologies in the sphere of higher education. Particular attention is paid to the educator’s image and the legislation regulating this process, including legislative norms that establish criteria for quality and directions for the development of education in the digital era. An important aspect of the article is the study of the psychological and cultural challenges of digitalization, including the adaptive barriers faced by educators and students. Recent research results indicate a complex balance between the positive and negative aspects of digital learning, which is of strategic importance for the development of online education in Ukraine. The conclusion of the article offers recommendations for the effective implementation of digital technologies in higher education, emphasizing the importance of developing digital competencies among all participants in the educational process and improving the infrastructure necessary to support continuous education.
The subject of the study is the impact of digital technologies on the educational process in higher education, analyzing changes in pedagogical methods and the adaptation of educators to new teaching conditions. The object of the study is the formation of elite and burlesque meta-linguistic personalities (mMP) of educators in the digital environment.
The scientific novelty of the article lies in the introduction into scientific circulation of the concept of "burlesque meta-linguistic personality" (burlesque mMP), which until now had no clear definition in linguistics and cultural studies. The concept of burlesque mMP allows for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of language transformations in the digital environment, where ironic and parodic use of language becomes a significant communication tool. The article details the main characteristics and features of the burlesque mMP, including its impact on the stylistic and ideological diversity of contemporary linguistic practice, which is conditioned by unconventional ways of using language that traditionally were not considered "literary". Such research opens new possibilities for analyzing digital communication and the interaction of linguistic identities in the virtual space.

Authors: Guiñazú Gonzalo , Tomasso Giselle , Vitureira Gerardo , Rey Grazzia , Fiol Verónica , Sosa Leonardo , Garay Osvaldo Ulises
Published: October 2024

Objetivos: la preeclampsia (PE) es un trastorno hipertensivo del embarazo que puede causar complicaciones graves y resultados adversos maternos y fetales. El objetivo del estudio fue estimar el impacto económico de la incorporación del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF (factor tirosinkinasa -1 soluble tipo fms / Placenta Growth Factor – Factor de Crecimiento Placentario) al sistema de salud uruguayo.
Materiales y métodos: se utilizó un árbol de decisión para estimar, en una cohorte hipotética de mujeres con sospecha de PE, el impacto económico anual incluidos los costos relevantes asociados con el diagnóstico, el seguimiento y el tratamiento de la presentación inicial de la PE clínicamente sospechada hasta el parto. Se analizaron los costos anuales para un escenario estándar de atención y un escenario que incluye el cociente sFlt-1/PlGF para PE. Se realizaron diversos análisis de sensibilidad determinísticos y probabilísticos.
Resultados: el modelo económico estimó que el uso del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF permitiría al sistema de salud uruguayo ahorrar 95.432.678 pesos uruguayos (2.320.269 dólares) anualmente: una reducción del 5 % en comparación con el estándar de atención, principalmente como resultado de la reducción de las hospitalizaciones de mujeres con sospecha de PE. El cálculo del impacto económico estimó un ahorro neto anual de aproximadamente 10.602 pesos uruguayos (258 dólares) por paciente.
Conclusiones: la introducción del cociente sFlt-1/PlGF en el sistema de salud uruguayo probablemente genere ahorros debido a la optimización del manejo de las hospitalizaciones de mujeres con sospecha de PE, aunque la posibilidad de obtener ahorros dependerá principalmente de la tasa actual de hospitalización de estas (la eficiencia del manejo de los embarazos de alto riesgo de PE), y de los días de internación de las mujeres hospitalizadas.

Immunosuppressive medication adherence and affecting factors in solid organ transplantation patients: a mixed-methods study
Authors: Gündüz Emine Selda , Kiraz Nihal , Küçükkaya Aycan , Göktas Polat
Published: October 2024

Objectives: Transplantation is a form of treatment that requires long-term pharmacotherapy. After transplantation, patients may have difficulty adapting to medication use for various reasons, and this may result in rejection. The aim of this study is to determine participants’ medication compliance and the factors affecting it.
Methods: The research was conducted with a sequential explanatory mixed method. In the study, quantitative data were collected using the Turkish Immunosuppressive Medication Adherence Scale, and qualitative data were collected using the In-Depth Individual Interview Guide. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical methods, and qualitative data were examined according to Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis framework.
Results: In this study, 62.3% of the participants were male, 37.0% were 50 years old and over, 71.3% lived with their spouse, 54.0% had primary and secondary school education, and 42.0% could not work due to their current health condition. From a clinical perspective, it was determined that 78% of the transplants were kidney transplants, and 41.3% were more than 4 years after transplantation. 74.3% of the transplants were from living donors. The mean score of the immunosuppressive medication compliance scale was determined to be 40.91±4.09. In the qualitative data analysis of the study, factors affecting medication adherence were examined and the themes of "individual factors", "complexity of the regimen" and "social support resources" were obtained. The sub-themes of the individual factors theme are reluctance, hopelessness and addiction; Sub-themes of the complexity of the regimen theme are drug side effects and polypharmacy; The sub-themes of the social support resources theme are loneliness and family pressure.
Conclusions: The factors influencing medication adherence among organ transplant recipients have been investigated, revealing that adherence levels vary significantly depending on various factors. These findings underscore the importance of tailored care strategies and individualized support approaches.

Published: October 2024

Background: Ladybird beetles are great bio-control agents and campodeiform grubs of these little predators are able to devour aphids in a voracious fashion. They feed on a wide array of aphid species most noticeably on the infamous black aphids or cowpea aphids Aphis craccivora (Koch). Methods: The growth and feeding potential of C. sexmaculata were studied in the laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (Institute of Agricultural Sciences), SOA Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, India at four different temperatures 20°C, 25°C, 30°C and 35°C during 2021-2022. Result: The life history parameters indicated that the duration of eggs, larvae, pupae, adult males and adult females was longest at 30°C and shortest at 20°C. Such variations were also observed in morphometry and feeding potential. The trend was 30°C greater than 25°C greater than 35°C greater than 20°C. In the case of feeding potential the trend was adult female greater than adult male greater than 4th instar greater than 3rd instar greater than 2nd instar greater than 1st instar across all temperatures. Adult females lived longer than males and thereby consumed more aphids than males. Maximum consumption was seen in case of adult female at 30°C which was 633±5.71 aphids and least feeding was seen at 20°C by 1st instar grub which was 8.9±0.56 aphids. The effect of insecticides in direct spray method indicated that dimethoate 30EC killed more ladybirds and clothianidin 50% WDG killed the least. This trend was strong across all temperatures and insect growth stages. The feed contamination method indicated that clothianidin 50% WDG, imidacloprid 17.8% SL and thiamethoxam 25% WG produced higher mortality rates than direct contamination method. All insecticides showed increased mortality up to 72 h and the mortality trend was 72 HAT greater than 48 HAT greater than 24 HAT. The mortality rate of immature individuals is higher than that of adults.

Background: Nutri cereal - Legume intercrop systems are particularly beneficial in North Eastern Zone of Tamil Nadu, which are characterized by high levels of malnutrition, resource limitation and rainfall variability. These conditions are further exacerbated by climate-related risks and uncertainty. Apart from enhancing water and nutrient use efficiency, improving soil fertility and financial gains, Millet-legume intercrop systems have become a better bet for increased food and nutrition security in marginal farming communities. Methods: A study conducted during the year of 2022 to 2024 at the Center of Excellence in Millet, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Athiyandal, Tamil Nadu. The study evaluated various intercropping ratios of finger millet with black gram and red gram across seven treatments, focusing on productivity, compatibility and economic viability. Result: Results indicated that intercropping finger millet with black gram at a 4:1 ratio produced taller plants (92.7 cm), more protective tillers (5.7 per plant), extensive root systems (19.9 cm), and higher chlorophyll content (3.67 mg/g). This combination resulted in the highest equivalent grain yield (2895 kg/ha) and demonstrated a favourable benefit-to-cost ratio (2.84), highlighting its potential for improving profitability and soil fertility. Conversely, intercropping with red gram yielded lower finger millet yields and less favourable economic returns, underscoring the importance of selecting suitable intercrops to maximize agricultural productivity and sustainability.
