Osteomyelitis of maxilla: A rare entity
Authors: Kumari Minu , Christopher Pradeep
Published: October 2024

The term "osteomyelitis" refers to inflammation of the bone marrow as well as the periosteum, cortical, and cancellous regions of the bone. Osteomyelitis of the jaws is more common in developing countries, and treatment can be difficult and time-consuming. Osteomyelitis occurs more frequently in the mandible than in the maxilla because of the latter's lower likelihood of infection due to its large collateral blood flow, thin cortical bones, and scattered bone marrow. To treat this condition, sequestrectomy, debridement of the necrosed bone, and extraction of the affected teeth, along with antibiotic therapy and adjuvant therapy, are needed. Here, we present a rare case of osteomyelitis of the maxilla in an elderly male. The patient was treated with sequestrectomy and no recurrence was observed during the follow up.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands (formerly called mixed tumor) represents 60% of oral salivary tumors. The accessory salivary glands have their preferential location at the palate, the lips of the cheek and the oropharynx. At the level of the lips, this tumor most often affects the right upper lip.

We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the right upper lip evolving for more than 4 years in a 70-year-old melanoderm patient who was referred to the odontostomatology department of the Idrissa Pouye General Hospital (HOGIP).

The swelling was large, slightly exceeding the midline of the upper lip. The swelling measured approximately 20 cm from its long axis. It was firm, painless and did not bleed on contact and covered with a healthy-looking mucosa. The management was surgical under local anesthesia and the postoperative course was simple.

Histological analysis specified that it was a well-limited nodular lesion, corresponding to a mixed epithelial and mesenchymal proliferation with a thin capsule in favor of a pleomorphic adenoma. No recurrence was observed 4 months after the operation.

Authors: Popova Oleksandra V.
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyze English and Chinese texts of the authentic official documents regulating economic and legal relations in the academic sphere in the XXI century in the context of their translation into Ukrainian. The object of the study is the foreign documentary support of the process of Ukraine’s EU integration and cooperation with the P.R.C. within the academic environment. The subject of the research is the reproduction tools of the official documents regulating cooperation terms and conditions between Ukraine, European Union, and China in the academic sphere from English and Chinese into Ukrainian within the framework of translation synergism. The results of the study are, on the one hand, specification of the concepts “participants under an agreement”, “learning / activity outcomes”, “intellectual property”, “linguistic and extralinguistic indices of the academic activity”; on the other hand — identification of the interaction mechanism between linguistic and extralinguistic factors related to translation synergism in the material under focus. Conclusions: the influence of the phenomenon “synergism” on the content and form of various types of discourse in the linguistic interpretation and translation is manifested in the linguistic awareness of an author of documents alongside a translator’s erudition; the interaction of the linguistic and extralinguistic factors reflected in the economic and legal documentation within the academic sphere in the context of its translation synergism has been specified according to these indicators: 1) linguistic parity of the document texts under study; 2) correspondence of the extralinguistic framework of the discourse to the written and oral representations of its texts; 3) adequate identification of the denotative and connotative meanings of the linguistic and extralinguistic frame of the official documents regulating economic and legal relations in the academic sphere in the 21st century as well as and their correct translation. The perspectives of further research are seen in the study of typologically common distinctive parameters of synergism in English and Chinese texts of official documents regulating economic and legal relations in the academic sphere in the 21st century in the context of a change in the paradigm of translation studies.
UNIVERSAL AND SPECIFIC IN THE FORMATION AND FUNCTION OF COMPOUND ABBREVIATED WORDS IN THE INDO-EUROPEAN AND CHINESE LANGUAGES
Authors: Stepanov Ievgenii M. , Wang Zhongzheng
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the proposed study is to determine universal and specific features in the systems of compound abbreviated words of some Indo-European languages (Ukrainian, Polish, English, French, Italian, German), which are inflectional in their morphological nature and have letter graphics, and the Chinese language, which is the root language and has hieroglyphic graphics. The object of study is the abbreviations of the above-mentioned languages and trends in the functioning of these language units. The subject of research is the relationship between the derivatives of compound abbreviated units and those language units that act as creative for them. The material of the study was taken from several dictionaries of abbreviations, and many lists and realities available for review. In total, more than 4500 language units were considered, of which almost 1150 (in total from different languages) were analyzed. It should be noted that only those units that are formed from word combinations, i.e. compound abbreviated words, were studied; Abbreviations of one word were not considered as an object of analysis. The main methods of research are general methods of analysis and synthesis, procedures of methods of comparative, word-forming, syntactic, graphic analysis and descriptive method. The result of the analysis is presented in a number of conclusions. The formation and functioning of compound abbreviated words is a linguistic universal at the present stage of language development. Representatives of the linguistic schools formed on the basis of the Indo-European languages consider the law of economy of speech means to be the “driving force” of the abbreviation process. In Chinese linguistics, there is an opinion that the phenomenon of contraction is natural for the Chinese language, because it reflects the ancient monosyllabicity of Chinese words. In different languages, the set of ways to form compound abbreviated words depends on their typological features, the rules of the order of words in combinations, graphic features of written speech, pronunciation features, and methods of word formation.
PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH THE COMPONENT "EYE / EYES" IN SLAVIC AND VIETNAMESE LANGUAGES AS A MEANS OF EXPRESSING NON-VERBAL PERSON’S BEHAVIOR
Authors: Trần Thị Xuyến
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the study is to determine the representation of non-verbal communicative behavior of the Slavs and Vietnamese in a phraseological way on the example of the behavior of characters in literary translations from several Slavic languages (Ukrainian, Polish, Russian) into Vietnamese. The object of study is the identical, similar and distinctive features of non-verbal communicative behavior by eyes that characterize the Slavs and Vietnamese. Electronic online dictionaries, including phraseological dictionaries of the Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, and Vietnamese languages, as well as several original artistic texts of Slavic authors and their translations into the Vietnamese language, were chosen as research material. The result of the research is the observations highlighted in the presentation of the main material of the article and its conclusions. A comparative analysis of phraseological means of communicative oculesics shows that non-verbal means of communication can have a universal, socially delineated and nationally defined character. Most of the phraseological units with the component “eye / eyes” in the Slavic and Vietnamese linguocultural spaces have equivalents. There are also background and non-equivalent units.
FRAGMENTS OF SLAVONIC-IRANIAN MYTHOPOETIC TEXT: SYNTACTIC CONSTRUCTIONS WITH *svęt- : *śṷanta-
Authors: Iliadi Alexander I.
Published: October 2024

The paper aims to reconstruct the common elements of the Slavonic and Iranian mythopoetic text, referring to the idea of the sanctity and sacred. The need to reconstruct the elements of this phenomenon of the communicative culture history makes out topicality of the proposed study. The objects of the investigation are: 1) set phrases, which in Iranian and Slavonic consist of the genetically identical lexemes; 2) Slavonic and Iranian set phrases, in which the only term is genetically common for both languages (*svętъ : *śṷanta-), while the second part here is represented by the synonyms with the different etymons; 3) two-termed (dithematic, bibasic) compound words with *svęt- : *śṷanta-, which are often the result of contraction of primary set phrases. Etymological, morphological and lexical-semantic features of analyzed units as well as reconstructed prototypes constitute the subject of the study. As the result of the proposed research, a set of ancient common to Iranians and Slavs formulaic expressions (and anthroponyms derived from them) are revealed; it is determined, that all the analyzed syntactic constructions were formed in the process of cultural contacts between speakers of both languages; their formal and semantic reconstruction is justified. Conclusions. Comparative-historical analysis of the ancient Slavonic and Iranian cliched phrases with the core component *svętъ : *śṷanta- and related to them dithematic personal names reveals the traces of the common Slavonic-Iranian text, formed within the poetic speech. Etymological composition of such «mycrotexts» along side with reflected therein complex of religious and ethic ideas, which is common to both cultural-linguistic traditions, leaves no doubt that we deal with the heritage of Slavonc-Iranian contacts. Especially indicative are the examples of full genetical identity in composition of formulaic constructions among the Slavs and Iranians. The semantic basis of formulaic expressions, common to both languages, is formed with the complex of discrete meanings, referring to the notions of abundance, life force and its increase. The material demonstrates the significant specific weight of Proto-Slavonic units with the exponent *svęt- alongside with the rudimentary and clearly areally and also chronologically limited data of Iranian languages. Permanent renewability of the tradition to use the syntactic cliches with *svęt- was facilitated by their involvement into the field of the derivation of Slavonic anthroponymic composites and later their demand in the texts of Christian religious topic. The perspectives for further work in the outlined vector are seen in comparison of the collected material with data of Baltic languages.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WORD ORDER IN CHINESE AND JAPANESE LANGUAGES: PREVAILING PERCEPTIONS AND THE REAL SITUATION
Authors: Zhou Baoyan
Published: October 2024

Among linguists, there is a very widespread view that the Chinese and Japanese languages have a fixed word order. Indeed, in these languages, as in the absolute majority of languages, there is a basic word order that dominates: in Chinese it is SVO (subject→predicate→object), and in Japanese it is SOV (subject→object→predicate). However, over the past half century, when interlingual and intercultural relations grew rapidly in the conditions of globalization of economic and information space, when the mastery of foreign languages in Northeast Asia became a vital need, the norms of using the basic or peripheral word order acquired a certain structural and semantic regulation. The purpose of this study is to reveal the originality of solving the issue of basic and peripheral word order in the Chinese and Japanese languages. The object of study is the models of a simple sentence in these languages, the subject of study is the actual semantic-grammatical and pragmatic irregularity of basic and peripheral word orders in a comparison of the Chinese and Japanese language systems. The result of this research is the following conclusions. The Chinese and Japanese sentence structures regarding the order of subject, object, and predicate are flexible at three levels: syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic. Despite the basic SVO order, sentences with the SOV order function in the Chinese colloquial style: "把 (ba) clause", and "将（jiāng）sentence". Passive sentences have OSV order determined by the service words "被(bei)", "超（ràng）", "叫（jiào）", or "维（gěi）". SOV and OSV word orders are considered peripheral. In a Japanese sentence, the large number of case paradigm particles allows structural flexibility with respect to word order. In addition to the basic SOV order, there are also three peripheral variants: OSV, SVO, and OVS, which have the effect of highlighting syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects. Sentences with peripheral word orders have a special pragmatic load.

Authors: Wynveen Christopher J. , Gibson Heather
Published: October 2024

Although there have been numerous studies concerning COVID-19 and its impact on people’s recreational experience, most projects only documented observable behaviors or used cross-sectional surveys to ask respondents about their behavior. Few projects explored the participants thought processes and attitudes about how the pandemic affected their recreation during this period. This project consisted of 31 interviews that were designed to understand recreational users’ trail use during the pandemic and the motivations and decision making when they adopted (or not) guidelines given to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The interviews, structured around six main questions, revealed four key themes: changes in trail use, perceptions of risk and safety, adoption of COVID-19 mitigation behaviors, and influences on these decisions. This research provides valuable insights into the behaviors and attitudes of trail users during the pandemic.

Authors:   Instytut Nafty i Gazu – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, Skupio Rafał , Hebda Kamil
Published: October 2024

W artykule przedstawiono metodykę badania koncentracji radonu w próbkach wody z zastosowaniem aparatury RAD7. Aparatura ta została dodatkowo wyposażona w systemem Big Bottle, przeznaczony do określania niskich stężeń radonu w wodzie. W ramach pracy przeprowadzono szereg badań terenowych i laboratoryjnych, a najważniejsze wyniki zestawiono i opisano w niniejszej publikacji. Próbki wody przeznaczone do wykonania testów zostały pobrane z rzek w Karpatach, z rzeki i źródła referencyjnego w Sudetach oraz z kranu i ze studni głębinowej przy ulicy Bagrowej 1 w Krakowie. Badania przeprowadzono na próbkach pobranych z kilku miejsc w celu określenia koncentracji radonu na różnych poziomach. Zakres uzyskanych stężeń radonu w wodach obejmował wartości od 0,073 Bq/L do 440 Bq/L. Szczegółowe wyniki zestawiono w tabelach i na wykresach seryjnych w celu zaprezentowania niepewności pomiarów, powtarzalności w serii, oceny, po którym cyklu pomiarowym wyniki ulegają stabilizacji, oraz wpływu poprawki DCF (ang. decay correction factor) na uzyskany wynik. Wody rzeczne cechowały się wartościami nieprzekraczającymi 0,16 Bq/L. Woda ze studni głębinowej została zbadana po jednym i po dwóch dniach od poboru, a średnie wyniki pomiarów po wprowadzeniu poprawki DCF różniły się od siebie o 0,12 Bq/L. Wynik pomiaru radonu w wodzie kranowej wyniósł 0,25 Bq/L. W celu przeprowadzenia badań porównawczych wykonano badania wody o wysokich koncentracjach radonu pochodzącej ze źródła referencyjnego opisanego przez zespół z Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego. Uzyskane wartości, zarówno pomiarów wykonanych w terenie, jak i po przetransportowaniu próbek do laboratorium, były na zbliżonym poziomie do wyników referencyjnych.
Z historii powojennych badań literatury i kultury popularnej
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Adam
Published: October 2024

Celem autora artykułu było ukazanie, w jaki sposób zmieniał się stosunek badaczy do zjawisk z kręgu literatury i kultury popularnej w okresie po 1945 roku. Uwzględniono wpływ uwarunkowań społeczno-politycznych oraz rynkowych na postrzeganie popkultury i popliteratury. Dla przejrzystości wywodu okres zapoczątkowany rokiem 1945 podzielono na podokresy. Wyodrębniono je, kierując się dominującymi w każdym z nich tendencjami, mającymi najistotniejszy wpływ na postrzeganie roli obiegu popularnego kultury w życiu społecznym i na wyobraźnię zbiorową. Widoczna jest przy tym linia rozwojowa refleksji nad popkulturą wiodąca od odebrania jej jakiejkolwiek funkcji w okresie realizmu socjalistycznego (1949–1956), poprzez akceptację niektórych jej przejawów przy jednoczesnym ideologicznym ich odczytaniu (lata 1957–1990), po silnie zaznaczające się – charakterystyczne dla badań najnowszych – tendencje do traktowania wytworów popkulturowych jako świadectw przemian kulturowych współczesności.
Zrównoważony rozwój jako przedmiot zainteresowań organizacji bibliotekarskich
Authors: Fedorowicz-Kruszewska Małgorzata
Published: October 2024

Lata 90. XX wieku można uznać za początek intensywniejszego zainteresowania bibliotek zrównoważonym rozwojem, głównie w kontekście środowiskowym. Na pewno przyczyniło się do tego Stowarzyszenie Bibliotek Amerykańskich (American Library Association – ALA), które już w 1989 roku powołało Zespół ds. Środowiska Naturalnego (Task Force on the Environment – TFOE), będący częścią Grupy Dyskusyjnej ds. Odpowiedzialności Społecznej (Social Responsibility Round Table – SRRT). Kolejny ważny krok w propagowaniu zrównoważonego rozwoju w bibliotekarstwie poczyniła Międzynarodowa Federacja Stowarzyszeń i Instytucji Bibliotekarskich (International Federation of Library Association and Institution – IFLA), która w 2002 roku przyjęła Statement on Libraries and Sustainable Development, w którym uznała zaangażowanie w zrównoważony rozwój, zapewniła, że usługi biblioteczne i informacyjne propagują zrównoważony rozwój poprzez zapewnienie swobodnego dostępu do informacji i wezwała pracowników sektora usług bibliotecznych i informacyjnych do przestrzegania i propagowania zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju. Celem artykułu jest prześledzenie aktywności organizacji bibliotekarskich w zakresie propagowania zrównoważonego rozwoju w bibliotekarstwie, poczynając od tych wskazanych w abstrakcie, a skończywszy na działaniach współczesnych.

W archiwum Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego zachował się tekst owego testamentu, zaś w aktach widawskiej świątyni katalog książek przekazanych Widawie przez rektora Walentego. Biblioteka Widawity zawierała teksty literackie autorów greckich i rzymskich, słowniki, podręczniki gramatyki, stare wydania Biblii, postylle, komentarze biblijne, listy apostolskie, zbiory kazań, kroniki, katalog pisarzy kościelnych, liczne traktaty teologiczne i liczne teksty autorów polskich. Biblioteka Widawity jest dowodem kontaktów intelektualnych profesora z ośrodkami naukowymi i drukarskimi w Europie.

Skryptorium klasztoru Cystersów w Mogile należy uznać za najlepiej opracowane, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do XIII stulecia. Doczekało się ono trzech opracowań książkowych i licznych artykułów. Stosunkowo najlepiej opracowany jest okres do końca XIII wieku. Ustalono, że w tym czasie w skryptorium powstało 29 dokumentów, Kronika polsko-śląska oraz kodeks nocturnale cantuale, który się nie zachował i wiemy o nim z późniejszej (XVI wiek) kroniki klasztornej Mikołaja z Krakowa. Wskazano trzech znanych z imienia pisarzy klasztornych: opata Hermana i brata Ludwika oraz opata Engelberta. Ponadto ujawniono 21 anonimowych pisarzy zakonnych, którzy spisywali dokumenty klasztorne. Widać wyraźne podobieństwa w zakresie zwyczajów pisarskich klasztoru Cystersów w Mogile do skryptorium jego macierzy lubiąskiej, szczególnie w latach 20. i 30. XIII wieku, a ich późniejszy zanik był wynikiem pojawienia się nowego pokolenia pisarzy klasztornych. Kontynuacja badań objęła okres od XIV do początków XVI wieku. Z tego czasu zachowało się 186 dokumentów dotyczących klasztoru cystersów w Mogile i 29 kodeksów. W trakcie badań ustalono, że w skryptorium mogli pracować następujący cystersi: Jan Wartenberg (1375/78–1389), Arnold (1412), Mikołaj Brygier (1426–1438), doktor Jakub z Paradyża (1420–1441), brat N (1441), późniejszy opat Piotr Hirszberg (1447), bracia Jerzy z Sambora i Mikołaj (1461–1475), brat Mikołaj z Krakowa, m.in. autor kroniki klasztornej (1452–1505/6). Lata wyrażone w nawiasach oznaczają czas ich aktywności pisarskiej.

Background: Kidney plays a major role in eliminating metabolic wastes from body, in maintaining acid-base balance and production of hormones. Due to their anatomic and physiologic features, kidneys are most susceptible to toxicity and ischemia. No study has been carried out to assess the renal disorders in dog in this region. Hence, the epidemiological study was carried out to record renal disorders in dogs at Junagadh. Methods: The assessment of the incidence of renal disorders in dogs was performed in the hospital cases presented at Veterinary Clinical Complex, COVSAH, KU from September 2022 to August 2023. A total of 2850 caseloads of dogs with different ailments were screened, out of which 170 dogs were diagnosed as renal disorders based on clinical presentation, hematology, serum biochemistry, urine analysis and nephrosonography. Result: The overall incidence of renal disorders in dogs was 5.96%. The higher occurrence of renal disorders was noted in age group of 6-8 years (9.62%) and males (6.61%). The dog breeds that were found higher incidence were Labrador retriever (9.68%) followed by German shepherd (7.24%). Month and Season wise higher incidence was recorded in the month of October (10%) of monsoon (7.61%) season. The highest recorded incidence of renal disorder was nephritis and renal failure (AKI/CKD) (each 35.88%).

The International Tax Regime Complex: Understanding Change in Global Tax Governance
Authors: Kuhn Katharina
Published: October 2024

Following a landmark vote in the UN General Assembly in December 2023, negotiations are taking place that will lead to a new framework convention on tax. While the UN is not new to international tax cooperation, ambitions for the convention extend beyond the remit of its current expert committee into policy areas where the OECD – in particular – already has a body of work. This creates risks of duplication, competition and incoherence that will depend on how the convention develops, how other organisations react, and how states engage with them. In this paper we draw three main insights from international relations scholarship to help understand and mitigate these risks. First, duplication is not new in global tax governance, which is already a ‘regime complex’ comprising multiple overlapping institutions. Policy issues with global implications can be governed coherently with multiple organisations coexisting in different ways, but this is more challenging if, as in international tax, states disagree on the content of substantive underlying norms. Second, the demand for a new institution stems from a legitimacy deficit across the whole regime complex that has input, throughput and output dimensions. As more constituencies become involved in an increasingly politicised domain, ‘input’ legitimacy no longer merely concerns which countries are at the table, but also who is represented, and thus requires a globally inclusive body at political level. In turn, this requires greater attention to throughput legitimacy – procedural fairness and transparency. Third, given the path dependence of international tax institutions, radical and comprehensive institutional reform is unlikely to happen overnight, and change is instead likely to be incremental. Literature suggests that processes through which one set of rules is ‘displaced’ by another can happen slowly in a regime complex characterised by competition between institutions.
