Published: February 2021

Due to the population growth, economic expansion, and urbanization, waste becomes a critical problem of societies. Zero waste policies are a great and important way in which local businesses take an interest to preserve our environment. Going zero-waste, however, is a hard and intense process because there are many challenges and hindrances along the path. This article provides an overview of the guiding principles to solid waste management and to look at zero waste management in Japan, Singapore, and Thailand. It also suggests mindful consumption as tool for zero waste management towards sustainability. Documentary study and literature review were used for data collection. The result shows that zero waste management needs to be developed step-by-step and it needs involvement of all stakeholders. It can bring economic and environmental benefits to the countries, but it leads to more financial cost of implementation and operation. Mindful consumption, based on Buddhism principle of right mindfulness, is considered a helpful and practical way for everyone to help their communities reduce waste through moderate consumption. With mindfulness, individuals care not only for their own wellbeing, but for others, communities, and environment. They will participate in source separation, reuse, and recycling programs as they realize that conserving environment and reducing the use of natural resource over the life cycle of the service and products can lead their lives more sustainable. The right understanding in the cause and effect of waste can lead people to engage in waste reduction, reuse, and recycling and move towards sustainable waste solution.

The linguistic view of East and West in contemporary Polish
Authors: Mirocha Piotr
Published: February 2021

The cultural concepts of Wschód (East) and Zachód (West) are products of contemporary, modern Polish languaculture, one that significantly shapes contemporary social and political discourses. A reconstruction of the cognitive definitions of these concepts, along with their profiles, can thus lead to a better understanding of the two kinds of discourse. In accordance with the principles of the cognitive definition, couched within the framework of the Lublin Ethnolinguistic School, the analysis is based on data from dictionaries, texts, and questionnaires. Four major dictionaries of Polish have been surveyed, as well as questionnaires conducted for the 1990 and 2000 editions of the Axiological Lexicon, along with a random selection of texts from the National Corpus of Polish, from internet editions of the press, from belles-lettres, and essays. After a detailed analysis of the systemic data, facet-based cognitive definitions of the two cultural concepts are constructed. For the concept of Wschód (East), the facets include location, economy, reasons for going East and returning, the role of East for Poland, the characteristics of its inhabitants and of the East as space. In the case of Zachód (West), instead of inhabitants and space, the relevant facet is that of values. The last part of the article prosents the profiles of these concepts, which correlate with ideological orientations in the press and in politics: the liberal profile (the West is good, it is associated with personal freedom, human rights, democracy and the rule of law; the East is negative, it ignores the rule of law and standards of liberal democracy); the right-wing profile (the East is evaluated similarly to the liberal profile, whereas the West is portrayed as Poland’s “moral debtor”); the Catholic-national profile (the East is a threat, the West is characterised by materialism and a degradation of values); the everyday-living profile (the West is wealthy, the East is poor).
The semantics of animal burial sites in the context of human cemeteries. A comparative analysis of macro-signs
Authors: Sobstyl Katarzyna
Published: February 2021

The contemporary practice of creating official animal burial sites exhibits certain analogies with cemeteries, which function not only as burial sites for humans but also as complex symbols of remembering the dead. Both are macro-signs, manifested through verbal and non-verbal codes. Human cemeteries are characterised by greater symbolic complexity and diversity, deriving from centuries-old cultural and religious traditions. The linguistic and non-linguistic actions performed with respect to cemeteries, in the broadly understood situational context, are closely related to the sphere of sacrum, represented by the symbol of the cross. Although pet cemeteries are identical to human cemeteries in terms of certain code elements (including headstone inscriptions, photographs, and figural sculptures), such cemeteries are less complex and relate chiefly to the sphere of profanum, represented by symbols of the widespread myth of the Rainbow Bridge. However, the common denominator of both macro-signs are the linguistic and non-linguistic actions that are inspired by the feelings of sadness, love, and gratitude.
What do we have in common; what makes us different? The stereotype of home/house in Polish, Serbian, and Russian
Authors: Pazio-Wlazłowska Dorota , Lazić-Konjik Ivana , Ristić Stana
Published: February 2021

The artricle compares the concept of home/house in Polish, Serbian, and Russian. It is a continuation of research carried out by the authors within the EUROJOS project and the volume on home/house of the Axiological Lexicon of Slavs and their Neighbours. The analysis aims to identify the common conceptual base, as well as the culture-specific aspects that distinguish each of the languacultures under scrutiny. The relevant cultural concepts in the three languacultures share a common base image but are distinguished through their culture-specific characteristics. That base is universal: rather than being limited to the Slavic context, it can be found in other languages, sometimes very distant ones. In Polish, Serbian, and Russian, home is above all viewed as a non-material, social, and functional value, as a community of people that share it, one that provides the sense of security and unconditional acceptance. Common features are also found in the network of relationships triggered by each cultural concept in question, such as the notion of family. The culture-specific content, in turn, derives from different historical and cultural conditions: those contribute to the peculiarities of the Polish patriotic manor, the Serbian Kosovo, or the Russian communal apartments. These specific cultural concepts reflect changes in the culture, mentality, and worldview in each languaculture.

The Credibility of Goal Priming Research in Work and Organizational Psychology
Authors: Latham Gary P.
Published: February 2021

Four criteria attest to the credibility of subconscious goal effects on organizational related behavior. First, the findings support hypotheses derived from goal setting theory. Second, the empirical experiments, conducted in both laboratory and field settings, have both internal and external/ecological validity. The dependent variables include brainstorming, negotiations, task/job performance, and satisfaction with customer service. Third, the results of these experiments have been shown to be robust with regard to exact and conceptual replications. Fourth, a meta-analysis has shown the practical as well as the theoretical significance of these findings. A goal primed in the subconscious and a consciously set goal have additive effects on job performance and negotiations.
Tactics of Influence and Deinfluentization, Personality and the Personal Sense of Power Among Polish Managers
Authors: Paliga Mateusz , Pollak Anita , Kożusznik Barbara
Published: February 2021

Power in organizations creates interpersonal settings and lays the ground for designating individual roles and positions of superiors and subordinates. In such a context, influence tactics are situation-specific behaviors used to change the behavior of others and achieve organizational goals. The notion that power and influence can be based on personal or positional variables was used to design the framework of the present studies intended to describe how trait- and state-like variables are related to influence tactics and deinfluentization. The subjects were 250 Polish managers. Study 1 (n = 250) was undertaken to collect data about the influence tactics of Polish managers to fill the void in information in the field of social psychology in organizations. In Study 2 (n = 104) we correlated influence tactics with the personal sense of power. The results proved that the perception of having the ability to exert power over others was positively related to rational persuasion, apprising, and pressure. In Study 3 (n = 69) we investigated the relationships of influence tactics and deinfluentization with the Big Five and directiveness. The results showed that Neuroticism was positively correlated with pressure, legitimating, and coalition, but negatively with rational persuasion and consultation. Extraversion was positively correlated with rational persuasion, so was Conscientiousness. Agreeableness was negatively related to coalition. Directiveness was in a positive relation with pressure but correlated negatively with personal appeals. Deinfluentization positively correlated with Agreeableness and negatively with directiveness.
Are Professional Burnout and Work Engagement Opposing or Independent Constructs?
Authors: Rożnowski Bohdan
Published: February 2021

The aim of the article is to broaden the knowledge about the mutual relationship between work engagement and professional burnout. In the psychological literature, a lively discussion between the position that these are opposite poles of one dimension and the position that both dimensions are independent has not yet been clearly concluded. The article focuses on the analysis of the causes of both phenomena. It was assumed that one-dimensionality means that the same elements of the work situation affect each of the states but in an opposite way. The research was conducted using standardized questionnaires (AWLS, LBQ, and UWES) on a group of 128 teachers from different types of schools. Statistical analyses relying on regression analysis indicated different sources of each phenomenon, which supports the position of independence of both constructs.

Is it Really Justified 5G Networks Development?
Authors: Kharchenko S.G. , Zhizhin N.K.
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the expediency of 5g electromagnetic networks development. The authors based their analysis on official documents: the Concept of creating and developing 5G/IMT-2020 networks in the Russian Federation, issued by the Ministry of communications of the Russian Federation, authoritative international reports, publications of the Expert magazine prepared by supporters of the 5G networks development, and publications of authoritative peer-reviewed international journals. The authors describe the advantages and adverse consequences of 5G networks development. They offered their own classification of the advantages of 5G networks development by dividing them into explicit, implicit and hidden. Special attention is paid to the potential possibility of 5G networks to provide police functions, in particular, to provide all aspects of total surveillance of any person. The latest scientific articles and reports of 2020 on the adverse consequences of 5G networks development are analyzed by authors. Although the risk-cost-benefit analysis is carried out, which makes it possible to make negative conclusions about the expediency of 5G networks development. The analysis makes us doubt whether the cost of trillions of rubles for 5G networks development in the Russian Federation is justified.
К вопросу о национальном профиле телевидения в эпоху глобализации: опыт ведущих французских телеканалов
Authors: Горобий Алексей Викторович
Published: February 2021

Статья посвящена жанровому анализу телепрограмм трех ведущих французских телеканалов (TF1, France 2 и France 3) с точки зрения соотношения в эфире этих телеканалов оригинальных и зарубежных (заимствованных) элементов. Анализ включает в себя рассмотрение как собственно телевизионных жанров, так и более частных категорий, а именно особенностей работы журналистов и операторов. Руководствуясь семиотическим подходом, автор интерпретирует эти две стороны телевизионного творчества в их взаимосвязи и стремится выявить их смысловое единство, обусловливающее профиль как отдельных передач, так и телеканалов в целом. Выводы автора говорят о корреляции между организационно-правовым статусом телеканалов и преобладанием в их эфире национальных или глобальных черт.
Интернет-издание "The Independent": структурно-композиционные характеристики и специфика контента
Authors: Лущинская Ольга Владимировна
Published: February 2021

Развитие информационных технологий сказалось на появлении конвергентной журналистики. Несмотря на активную разработку данной тематики, такой его тип, как дискурс конвергентных средств массовой коммуникации, с точки зрения синкретизма его интра- и экстралингвистических характеристик в сравнительно-сопоставительном аспекте в разных журналистских культурах еще недостаточно исследован. В связи с этим авторами поставлена цель выявить и описать структурно-композиционные и содержательные особенности британского конвергентного средства массовой коммуникации "The Independent" с применением авторской интегративной методики дискурсного анализа, которая включает формальные критерии, отражающие организационную структуру и дизайн издания, его количественные показатели; критерии мультимедийных технологий, позволяющие выявить степень присутствия и выраженности явления конвергенции в нем. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы для построения британской модели дискурса конвергентных средств массовой коммуникации, что в дальнейшем позволит сравнить ее с моделями, существующими в других журналистских традициях. Такой подход предоставит возможность реконструировать модели организации современного медиаконтента, а также выявлять, как в них воспринимается и отражается картина мира: в чем проявляется схожесть или отличия, и чем это вызвано.

Authors: Богашова Надежда Константиновна , Смирнова Наталья Владимировна
Published: February 2021

Мотивационная система объясняет настоящую деятельность обучающегося и определяет перспективу ее развития. Существенным минусом большинства теорий и экспертных мнений является отсутствие в них системности в формировании и развитии мотивации, вследствие чего проблема мотивации представляется неразрешимой. В связи с этим авторы используют метод моделирования процесса формирования учебной мотивации студентов, который позволяет целостно отобразить все свойства, взаимосвязи и отношения между элементами изучаемого объекта. Рассмотрена проблема мотивации студентов и факторы, влияющие на ее формирование, специфика мотивов учебной деятельности. Представлена структура модели формирования учебной мотивации с использованием метода проектов. Описаны преимущества проектной деятельности в педагогической практике. Дана характеристика основных компонентов модели и механизмов их взаимодействия. Сделан вывод о том, что использование предложенной авторами модели в образовательном процессе будет способствовать правильному формированию и последовательному развитию мотивации в учебном процессе, что приведет к успешному прохождению студентами всех форм контроля по биологии и, в целом, к высокому уровню освоения основной профессиональной образовательной программы.

Authors: Чигринова Екатерина Александровна
Published: February 2021

Важную роль в обучении современному русскому языку имеет изучение лексического состава каждой эпохи. Несмотря на многочисленность публикаций по данному направлению, в научных работах лексике и фразеологии советского периода и нового времени уделено недостаточное внимание. Целью данного исследования является сбор и анализ фразеологизмов русского языка советского периода, составление их классификации с точки зрения происхождения. Представлены итоги анализа картотеки, собранной на основе словарей, найдены и приведены первоисточники (кинематограф и тексты песен), из которых новые фразеологические единицы вошли в активный словарный запас советского общества. Сопоставительный анализ отобранных устойчивых выражений позволил выявить наиболее распространенные типы фразеологизмов по классификации В.В. Виноградова. Полученные результаты позволяют расширить знания о культурных, политических, моральных, социальных и экономических ценностях советского общества. Материал может быть использован в вузовских курсах лексикологии, стилистики, общего языкознания, спецкурсах по лингвокультурологии, социолингвистике.
