THE CONCEPTUAL OPPOSITION «OWN - ALIEN» IN THE CHINESE LANGUAGE IMAGE OF THE WORLD
Authors: Arekeeva Yu.E.
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the opposition «Own - Alien», which is significant in intercultural communication, and the peculiarities of its implementation. «Own - Alien» is presented as a universal basic concept of culture and linguistic culture. The article presents the results of the analysis of the process of conceptualization of the opposition «Own - Alien» based on the material of proverbs and phraseological units of the Chinese language containing the terms of kinship «father / mother». In the course of the study, chengyu were selected and further divided into semantic modules and micromodules. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to achieve mutual understanding between representatives of Russian and Chinese cultures, as well as the need to analyze both general and national-specific patterns of the implementation of the opposition «Own - Alien» in Chinese chengyu, which convey information about the mentality of the nation. The object of the study was the mechanisms of language actualization of the opposition «Own - Alien». The subject of the proposed study is a system of semantic modules that actualize the opposition «Own - Alien» through the terms of kinship «father / mother». The purpose of the work is to develop a classification of the conceptual fields «one's own» and «alien». The study was carried out on base of the material of Chinese chengyu dictionaries.
PROPEDEUTICS OF POETIC DECLAMATION IN MAOIST CHINA
Authors: Dreyzis Yu.A.
Published: September 2022

The paper examines the first attempts at a structured written fixation of the rules for voicing Chinese contemporary poetry, appearing since the late 1950s. These are manuals for teaching poetry recitation, created until the end of the Mao era, which contain detailed technical instructions for the preparation of reciters. They serve as unique material for describing how declamatory practice was regulated in line with the general language regulation of the PRC and, above all, promoting the new standard in prejudice of various regional idioms. These texts make it possible to see general trends in the evolution of "new poetry" ( xin shi ) towards the revival of certain techniques and characteristics of various forms of traditional verse and to assess the relations of the oral and the written in a Chinese poetic text composed and articulated using contemporary diction.
AUGMENTATIVITY CATEGORY IMPLEMENTATION IN COLLOQUIAL VERBAL WORD FORMATION OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE (BY THE MATERIAL OF VERBAL UNITS OF THE PANDEMIC PERIOD)
Authors: Yushkova L.A. , Panfilova V.M.
Published: September 2022

The subject of the study, the results of which are presented in the article, is German colloquial verbal units, formed with the participation of preverbal adverbs and particles. The dynamics of their use and the features of semantics are considered. The article establishes that models with components of spatial semantics: aus-, durch-, ein-, los-, herum- (rum-) participate in the formation of verb lexemes of the coronavirus pandemic period. The article shows that colloquial verb lexemes formed according to this model often have augmentative semantics. The most frequent verb lexemes with augmentative semantics are identified, their meaning is established. Augmentative semantics in derived verb units is formed on the basis of the main meaning of the prenegative component, due to its metaphorization, in the presence of potential peyorative semes in the meaning of motivating verbs. The article also defines the concept of augmentativity, establishes the boundaries of this category. The category of augmentativity is interpreted as an integral part of the category of emotivity, its distinguishing feature is the deviation in the expression of the attribute upward from the conditional norm.
TEACHING INDEFINITE PRONOUNS AND ADVERBS IN THE PRACTICE OF TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Patrusheva L.S. , Tuktangulova E.V. , Fomina T.N.
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the peculiarities of teaching indefinite pronouns and adverbs in the study of Russian as a foreign language. The relevance of the paper is determined by the status of the category of certainty / uncertainty in modern Russian, which is ambiguous, by contrast with other European languages, in which the system of articles is its marker. It is reported that in Russian, the manifestations of this category at the lexical level are embodied in the use of a number of indefinite pronouns and adverbs, the rules for the use of which even native speakers do not have a clear idea, which is confirmed by an associative experiment conducted as part of the study. The article shows that the material related to semantization, grammatical and stylistic nuances of the use of indefinite pronouns and adverbs in contexts when teaching Russian as a foreign language is considered fragmentarily. This makes communication difficult. This work is an attempt to develop a level-by-level system for teaching foreigners indefinite pronouns and adverbs.
ON THE MOTIF OF «REVIVING STATUE»: P.V. SHKURKIN’s CHINESE LEGENDS
Authors: Kryukova M.I.
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the motif of a «reviving statue» in Chinese legends compiled by the sinologist P.V. Shkurkin. Awakening statues do not have a destructive function in Chinese culture. Thanks to prayers, the revived deity becomes the protector of those who ask. The intertextual typological echoes with Pushkin, Merezhkovsky and Grin’s works are studied, the analogies with the myths of Ancient Greece are indicated. It was found that the researched motif is also found in the other Far Eastern writers’ works (M. Shcherbakov, A. Haydock). The metamorphoses that occur with the sculptural character have the dual nature: the characters were people once, then became local gods and continued to exist in the form of statues. Their static nature is overcome in an emergency, and then they freeze again, having fulfilled their destiny. It was revealed that in the Chinese legends and stories described by Shkurkin, the motif of a «reviving statue» is plot-forming, continuing the tradition of living images in literature.

La fibrosis quística es una enfermedad sobre la que aún no se sabe mucho y sigue siendo un tema candente en la medicina traslacional y pulmonar. La evidencia sobre el manejo de las exacerbaciones es limitada, con pocos ensayos clínicos y revisiones sistemáticas. Por ejemplo, se desconoce el uso y la duración de los antibióticos en esta enfermedad. Teniendo en cuenta que se trata de una enfermedad que supone un elevado coste sanitario y que disminuye sustancialmente la capacidad funcional del afectado, es necesario establecer rápidamente algoritmos prácticos basados en la evidencia. En base a lo anterior, el objetivo de esta revisión narrativa es sintetizar evidencia sobre el uso y la duración del tratamiento antibiótico en las exacerbaciones pulmonares agudas en pacientes con fibrosis quística. Para esto, se llevó a cabo una búsqueda bibliográfica en los motores de búsqueda y bases de datos bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, EBSCO y MEDLINE. Se definió que cualquier artículo relacionado con la evaluación del uso y duración de antibioticoterapia en la exacerbación aguda pulmonar del paciente con fibrosis quística, sería incluido, dando prioridad a los estudios originales y a las revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis. Posterior a la revisión del título y resumen de todos los resultados, se incluyeron 42 artículos. Se encontró que instaurar antibioticoterapia 10 días posterior al tratamiento estándar, por vía intravenosa, ya sea de doxiciclina o azitromicina más colistimetato, permite obtener mayor recuperación de la función pulmonar perdida, alargar el tiempo hasta la próxima exacerbación y solucionar sintomatología rápidamente.

Published: September 2022

Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are used for the diagnosis of neurological disorders and detection of seizures. Early detection of seizures not only can save the patient’s life but also can improve the quality of life. The traditional methods for seizure detection are time-consuming. To combat these problems and further improve the accuracy of seizure detection, the techniques of deep machine learning have been applied to EEG signals. This work develops an EEG-based seizure detection program using deep machine learning to detect seizures using EEG signals. The model is developed using a data set of EEG recordings from 79 human subjects. To this end, a literature review has been conducted to review the latest research related to deep learning algorithms applied to EEG signals for seizure detection. The EEG data has been pre-processed, filtered, and segmented before being fed to the machine learning model. Three models were developed, two models are based on feed-forward neural networks and the third model is based on long-short term memory (LSTM) network. For the feed-forward neural network with 10 hidden neurons, the obtained accuracy was too low (66.1%). For the feed-forward neural network with 100 hidden neurons, the accuracy was slightly improved to 74.3%. The LSTM model showed an accuracy of 87.7%. The model correctly classified 96.4% of normal patients as having no seizures and correctly classified 71.6% of seizure patients as having seizures. The limitations on increasing the accuracy of the models are discussed and possible solutions are suggested. If channel-specific seizure annotations are provided by medical experts, the accuracy of the model is expected to increase significantly.

Community life in this era increases the needs of human life. The more needs that are needed, the more the demands of life style. In this modern era, lifestyle is the hallmark of a modern world. Moreover, in the midst of the development of social media that can improve lifestyles, it will have a negative impact if consumptive behavior is not carried out according to needs. This study aims to describe the lifestyle of teenagers. The targets in this study were taken from several teenagers in the city of Tanjung Pinang. The sociological study used is a theoretical study from Jean Baudrillard on lifestyle, symbol consumption, and studies on social and adolescent motives. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to get a clear and detailed picture of the problem to be studied by studying as much as possible an individual, a group or an event that occurs in the field.
Comparing morphological variability in handaxes from Penhill Farm and Amanzi Springs, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Authors: Caruana Matthew , Lotter Matt G.
Published: September 2022

Recent excavations at Penhill Farm and Amanzi Springs have reinvigorated interest in the Acheulean archaeological record of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. While this research now provides valuable detail on hominin adaptations in environments that differ from the interior, few Acheulean assemblages in this region have been recorded or thoroughly analysed. Here we compare Acheulean handaxes from Penhill Farm and the Amanzi Springs Area 1 locality to help characterise the expression of this technocomplex in the Eastern Cape. We employ a multivariate analysis of allometry to highlight the relationship between shape variance in relation to the size of handaxes, which further provide perspective on shaping processes. Results demonstrate high levels of techno-morphological variability that may distinguish Acheulean handaxes in the Eastern Cape region from sites elsewhere. We further argue that morphological variation in handaxes from Penhill Farm and Amanzi Springs may have also been influenced by site function, discard behaviours and group mobility patterns. These data refute the notion that the Acheulean technocomplex represents a single, homogenous technological entity, but rather was a flexible tradition that was influenced by region-specific factors.
What Is Happening Here?: An Auto-Ethnographic Account of an Emerging Woman Academic’s Entry into the Academy in South Africa
Authors: Shabalala Nokulunga
Published: September 2022

This paper offers a critical auto-ethnographic account about navigating entry into the academy as an emerging woman academic. In this paper, I reflect on the multiple intersecting positions I inhabit to draw attention to the tensions often experienced by black women in the academy. I also allude to tensions inherent in being a psychologist and an academic. The paper aims to bring to the fore the dynamics that perpetuate black women academics’ sense of nonbelonging, voicelessness, and stagnation. Through my narrative, I critically discuss the concepts of time, space, temporality, emotion, and gender within the academic environment and how these elements intersect to shape experience. I make partial reference to feminist thought and critical psychology to drive the conversation about structural issues that persist within the academy that result in the feeling of dis-ease. I also argue that perhaps this dis-ease is the starting point for us to look at what is happening and move towards a radical or reimagined academy. Through this process, I recognised how I became violently silent and disillusioned but emerged hopeful that constant processes of confrontation such as this will eventually create a home for us.

Published: September 2022

This article seeks to analyse cultural devotion as it is portrayed in J.C. Buthelezi’s novel, Kushaywa Edonsayo. It intends to pull togethersome examples of how cultural devotion is portrayed in this isiZulu novel. It will firstly evaluate cultural conflicts that are demonstrated by characters. It will further explore cultural commitments among individuals in the society created by the novelist, and as applicable to real life society. The main subheadings in this discourse are: culture conflict and cultural commitment. The concept of culture will be defined as part of the introductory section of the article. Again, a concluding section will be included towards the end of the discourse, where the summary, observations and recommendations are provided. The reason this study is conducted is the intensive illustration of cultural devotion in the novel under consideration. It is also the fact that not much has been done on this topic on the isiZulu novel, in particular, and isiZulu literature in general. The revelation of how Buthelezi handles this aspect will add value to the study of isiZulu and, even, African literature.

Authors: Batala Lusanda
Published: September 2022

Expanding access to financial services is seen as a promising means of dealing with developmental challenges, reducing poverty,and promoting economic development. Greater access to financial services is essential to people’s well-being as it promotes entrepreneurship, moves people out of poverty, and provides hope for a better economic future. Tools such as savings, payment, andcredit services are crucial to smoothing household level consumption, helping insure against risk, and allowing investment in education and other capital forms. As a result, many developing countries have committed to increasing people’s access to financialservices, especially the poor. However, achieving access to financial services remains a challenge despite this high-level importance. This article focuses on the determinants of individuals’ access to financial services. It uses available literature and the National Income Dynamics Survey (NIDS) data for analyses.

Authors: Costa Ribeiro-Silva Patrick , Eugênio Van Keulen Guilherme , Novellino Benda Rodolfo
Published: September 2022

A avaliação do desempenho motor em crianças fornece informações relevantes para o planejamento da prática, na formação de estratégias de intervenção motora, na programação de atividades, exercícios físicos e outros fatores direcionados à atividade física diária. Esse estudo teve por objetivo verificar a correlação do escore de desempenho motor com a frequência cardíaca média e com o gasto calórico médio no início da segunda infância. A amostra foi constituída por 15 crianças de ambos os sexos com idade de 7 e 8 anos, estudantes de uma escola da rede municipal de ensino da cidade de Viçosa, que foram avaliados pelo período de cinco dias consecutivos. O desenvolvimento motor foi avaliado por meio das habilidades locomotoras e manipulativas do Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). As medidas foram compostas pelo somatório do escore bruto das habilidades locomotoras e manipulativas do TGMD-2. A frequência cardíaca e o gasto calórico foram avaliados por meio de Acelerômetros Triaxiais Actiheart, e posteriormente, foram calculados a frequência cardíaca média diária (FCM) e o gasto calórico médio diário (GCM), referente aos cinco dias de avaliação. O conjunto dos resultados permitiu concluir que frequência cardíaca e gasto calórico indicam o nível de atividade física realizada. Espera-se que crianças ativas apresentem um bom nível de desempenho motor. Entretanto, os resultados sugerem que o nível de habilidade motora depende não só de quantidade de prática ou intensidade de esforço, mas também da qualidade desta prática a ser proposta nas atividades diárias.

Published: September 2022

This paper presents the implementation of a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network prototype based on SDR (Software Defined Radio) using the Linux-based OpenBTS software and the USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) hardware. GSM has been chosen because it is one of the most successful standards with the most significant impact on the mobile telephony ecosystem. It has been the key to the development of subsequent generations. By integrating GSM with SDR, it is possible to implement a prototype of an experimental GSM network, which can become a testbed for future innovations and developments in SDR dynamics that seek to provide alternative mobile infrastructures to rural populations in Ecuador and around the word that they still are part of the great digital divide.
Simulación de un sistema de comunicaciones utilizando la tecnología BN-IoT (Narrow Band–Internet of Things)
Authors: López Pujota Catalina , Sinche Maita Soraya
Published: September 2022

Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) was implemented by 3GPP in Release 13,14 y 15, as an IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity solution. Because, in addition to offering coverage improvements, NB-IoT has shown to be compatible across mobile or non-mobile virtual network carriers, locations, and providers. Additionally, it provides end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) assurances and uses licensed spectrum to improve reliability and performance. This article proposes a study of NB-IoT technology, fundamental aspects of NB-IoT, its architecture, frequency bands, access protocols, physical layers, and quality of service metrics. Also, presents simulations of the energy consumption of NB-IoT devices during data transmission in three scenarios using MATLAB, as well as the parameters required for these simulations. Finally, the results obtained are presented based on path losses, battery lifetime versus physical channels, coverage classes, data rate on links (uplink and downlink), and packets sent per day, these show a variation in power consumption and battery lifetime performance in the devices.
Scheme of Arrangement in the UK Takeover Market: Does it Make a Difference in Firms’ Survival to be Tendered?
Authors: Alqobali Hala , Alandejani Maha
Published: September 2022

Compared with tender offers, bidders can easily obtain target firms in the scheme of arrangements. This study investigates the impact of deal and target characteristics on 803 firms’ survival to be taken over by a scheme of arrangement or a tender offer in the UK takeover market, during the 1995 to 2018 period, through applying survival analysis, including continuous (PH Cox, Weibull) and discrete-time (complementary log-log) hazard models. The findings indicate that the explanatory variables of target and deal characteristics play a significant role in both the scheme of arrangement and tender offer deals. Firm size, financial crises, the takeover Code shock, and the termination fees paid by a target firm increase the probability of a takeover of the target firm to be implemented by way of a scheme. Acquirers who are publicly listed and own a large stake in the target firm before the takeover intend to reduce the target firm’s probability of being schemed.

The Portrayal of Gender in the Arabic Construction
Authors: Muassomah Muassomah , Abdullah Irwan , Hasanah Umdatul , Kulsum Nyimas Umi , Muzakki Akhmad
Published: September 2022

The portrayal of gender in the Arabic construction has shown the existence of gender inequality. The Arabic language is a highly gendered language, with every word having its own male or female identity, and this has legitimized the existing gender disparities in Arabic society. Men and women are supposed to have particular characteristics, which are similarly reflected within specific spaces and positions. This article thus employs a qualitative approach to understand the gendered identities of Arabic-language words. Data were collected by reading Arabic-language texts and recorded words that highlighted the disparity between men and women.

Published: September 2022

The objective of the study is the analysis of IS-LM curves. The aim is to prove that the current theoretical models of IS-LM are not applicable in the Albanian economy. In this paper, the theoretical IS-LM model is analyzed according to the balance of I = S (investment - savings), and AE = Y (aggregate expenditure - gross domestic product). The models I + G = S + T and NX = NFI are not analyzed in this study. Two representative models were obtained, by the authors Hicks - Hansen and Dornbusch - Fischer - Startz. The theoretical and practical aspects of the application of the models are analyzed. The defect of the Dornbusch-Fischer-Startz model and the impossibility of applying it to the data of the Albanian economy is evident. The authors have proposed an improvement of the Hicks-Hansen model for the IS curve because the theoretical model is not applicable. They have replaced the half where Investment equals Savings with a reflection curve of the opportunity cost. This has made the model effective. In the analysis, two of the features of the Albanian economy were taken into consideration: the structure of the currency market where half of it is covered by foreign currency (euro and dollar), and the informal economy that affects the exchange rates and the effectiveness of the policies of the Bank of Albania. In the material, it is found that the transmission effect of the monetary policies implemented by the Bank of Albania is missing. There are weak connections between the rate of REPOs, monetary aggregates and some of the macroeconomic indicators. The rate of inflation and the rate of REPOs are strongly related to the first direction. Recommended; to apply the IS model according to the proposal made by the authors, to realize the de-euroization of the market, to change the objective of the Central Bank, putting as the main objective the preservation of the exchange rate of All in function of economic growth and financial stability. In the analysis, the method of comparison, description, analytical methods and statistical methods are used. Used Data is from INSTAT and the Central Bank of Albania.

A quasi-experimental group design was used in the study with thirty female students from the two grade five classes in Kuwait. These respondents were selected at random, with the permission and approval of their respective teachers. There was a significant difference between the mean scores of the pretest measurements in the national identity values. Likewise, there was also a significant difference between the mean scores of respondents’ achievements in the posttest. With the use of an oral history approach to teaching social studies, the respondents exhibited well-grounded national identity values that may benefit the people and catapult the country’s positive development. These values were indicative of creating high engagement within the classroom, increasing students’ responses, and improving their national identity values through awareness of the country’s oral histories.

Reading and Young Adults Self-Directed Learning
Authors: Moummou Aziz , Fathi Said
Published: September 2022

The present study investigates the role of reading literacy in promoting self-directed learning for young learners. It examines the readiness for self-directed learning of 209 young adults aged 17 to 19 years old as they transition from high school to post-secondary education. This quasi-experimental study uses action research led by five teachers to compare students’ readiness for self-directed learning with reading in two scenarios: an experimental group read in a self-directed learning environment outside classrooms and a comparison group read inside the classroom in a teacher-directed environment. It is part of a 3-year longitudinal research that observes policy discourse across multiple layers of institutional hierarchy. Quantitative analyses indicated some relationships between teacher-directed and self-directed learning in terms of increasing students reading avidity and decreasing students’ perception about their readiness for self-directed reading. The findings of this study have implications for researchers and teachers studying self-directed learning with reading for young learners.

Authors: Akande Benyin Adah , Asua Samuel A. , Undiandeye Dennis Agiounim
Published: September 2022

This descriptive qualitative study examined how food security was undermined during the covid-19 pandemic in some coastal fishing communities in Nigeria. The study used the Household Economic Approach as a theoretical basis to explain the challenges of food security in coastal communities based on evidence from the Covid-19 pandemic. Data were generated from open-ended interviews conducted with 30 participants in three coastal fishing communities in Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria. The study also relied on secondary data from books, reports, and journal articles. From the analysis, results showed that the various preventive measures adopted to curb the spread of the virus posed a challenge to fish production, access, and consumption. Furthermore, the findings revealed that in addition to other human security issues, covid-19 was a natural mechanism whose emergence only exacerbated existing food insecurity in coastal fishing communities. Based on the ongoing, the study concludes that, food security can be enhanced in coastal fishing communities through cross-sectorial partnerships and collaborations between the government, civil society groups and the blue economy.
