Natural Observation of Early Social Interactions in Infants in Vanuatu
Authors: Halavani Zahra , Yeung Henny , Broesch Tanya
Published: August 2023

Infant-directed speech (IDS) has been shown to play a key role in
language development. Previous research, however, has also shown
significant variability across societies in terms of how often IDS
occurs. Here, we ask whether infant-directed communication (IDC)—
which includes both IDS and other non-verbal infant-directed behaviours
supporting social and communicative development, has a different balance
of verbal and non-verbal communication in Tanna compared to what is seen
in the wider literature. We examine video observations of 22 one-year
olds to identify the non-verbal features of IDC that occur across
cultures. First, we will measure and analyze the proportions of the
observed times for IDC dimensions— i.e., speech, action, gesture,
emotion, and touch, while parents engage with infants, via a linear
mixed effects model. Next, we will compare our findings on these
dimensions in Vanuatu to what has been reported in Western societies.
Consistent with previous studies, we expect to observe less IDS in Tanna
than what is typically observed in the literature. Critically, we also
expect to see more non-verbal communicative modification compared to
verbal communicative modification. The present work is the first to
examine the non-verbal features of IDC in a non-Western society.

Published: August 2023

Early and precise detection and identification of various pathogens are
essential for epidemiological monitoring, disease management, and
reducing clinical infectious diseases. Currently, available pathogen
detection techniques, which include mass spectrometry, biochemical tests
(metabolic fingerprinting), molecular testing (usually PCR), and
culture-based procedures, are limited in application and time-consuming
to produce results. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) have emerged as an
essential technology for identifying clinical pathogens. NGS is a
cutting-edge DNA sequencing method with high throughput, which can
create massive volumes of sequences with a wide range of potential uses
in research and diagnostic settings. NGS presents a revolutionary way to
overcome the issues above with fast speed, available application in
unknown pathogens detection, improved sensitivity, as well as efficient
data interpretation. This review introduces the NGS technology in detail
and summarizes the application of the NGS in detecting different
pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and analyzing the
challenges and the outlook for using NGS to detect clinical pathogens.
Therefore, this work provides theoretical basis for NGS study and
promotes the application of NGS in diagnosing various clinical
pathogens.
The ongoing rewriting of the therapeutic contract in Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy for narcissistic personality disorder: The case of Mark
Authors: Dimaggio Giancarlo , Valentino Virginia
Published: August 2023

In order to treat persons suffering from narcissistic personality
disorder (NPD) it is necessary to agree on therapeutic goals and om
tasks to undertake in order to meet them. This is difficult with NPD, as
they have difficulties finding meaningful goals to strive for, other
than the quest for status. Moreover, in order to change they need to
expose themselves to experience painful feelings such as shame, guilt or
fear, feelings that they automatically tend to keep at bay. Finally,
they have problems forming a benevolent image of their therapists and to
harken to it in order to cooperate towards mutually agreed goals and
tasks. As a consequence, NPD patients ask for change but hardly engage
themselves in the work necessary to achieve it. Therapists therefore
need to pay the uttermost attention to drafting, negotiating and
continuously updating a reasonable and realistic therapeutic contract.
In this paper we describe the story of a man in his thirties with NPD
who was ridden with depression, guilt, envy and anger and did not find
ways to pursue the healthy and adaptive behaviors he would need to
pursue in order to leave a richer social life. The therapist overcame
ruptures in the therapeutic alliance and then involved the patient in a
process where they set the steps to follow, making sure the patient was
convinced they made sense. After a contract was reached progress became
possible. Implications for the role of the therapeutic contract in NPD
treatment are discussed.

Published: August 2023

A unique group of circulating very-long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLCSFAs), including arachidic acid (20:0), behenic acid (22:0), and lignoceric acid (24:0), have been associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, although associations with early metabolic risk phenotypes preceding type 2 diabetes have received limited study. We aimed to examine the associations of VLCSFAs with longitudinal changes in insulin sensitivity and β-cell function in a cohort at risk for type 2 diabetes. VLCSFAs in the four main serum pools (phospholipid, triacylglycerol, cholesteryl ester, and nonesterified fatty acid) were extracted from fasting baseline samples (n = 467). Generalized estimating equations were used to determine the associations between VLCSFAs and changes over 9 years in validated indices of insulin sensitivity (HOMA2-%S [insulin sensitivity as percentage of normal population and ISI) and β-cell function (insulinogenic index [IGI], IGI divided by HOMA-insulin resistance [IGI/IR], and insulin secretion sensitivity index 2 [ISSI-2]). Associations of VLCSFAs with outcomes were strongest in the triacylglycerol lipid pool: 20:0 was positively associated with both insulin sensitivity and β-cell function (5.01% increase in HOMA2-%S and 4.01–6.28% increase in IGI/IR and ISSI-2 per SD increase in 20:0); 22:0 was positively associated with insulin sensitivity, with a 6.55% increase in HOMA2-%S and a 5.80% increase in ISI per SD increase in 22:0. Lastly, 24:0 was positively associated with insulin sensitivity and β-cell function (7.94–8.45% increase in HOMA2-%S and ISI, and a 4.61–6.93% increase in IGI/IR and ISSI-2 per SD increase in 24:0). Fewer significant associations were observed in the cholesteryl ester and nonesterified pools. Overall, our results indicate positive longitudinal associations of VLCSFAs with insulin sensitivity and β-cell function, especially within the triacylglycerol pool.

Published: August 2023

Botulinum toxin type A (Botox®) is thought to have antipruritic effects through inhibition of pruritic factors, including acetylcholine, substance P, and glutamate. The aim of this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to test the effect of botulinum toxin type A on cowhage, a non-histaminergic model for chronic itch. Botulinum toxin type A was injected into the arm of 35 healthy subjects, with a saline control injected into the contralateral arm. Thermal sensory parameters (warmth and heat thresholds and heat pain intensity) and itch intensity after cowhage application were examined on test areas. Botulinum toxin type A reduced itch intensity, overall perceived itch (area under the curve (AUC); percentage change from baseline), and peak itch intensity compared with the control at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Botulinum toxin type A had no effect on thermal thresholds or heat pain intensity. In conclusion, botulinum toxin type A reduced cowhage itch for at least 3 months, which suggests that botulinum toxin type A is a potential long-lasting treatment for localized, non-histaminergic itch.
Implementation of Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to Understand Factors that Influence Working Mothers to Rent Breast Pumps using PLS-SEM
Authors: Wiguna Santika , Dellyana Dina
Published: August 2023

Breastfeeding rates in Jakarta have seen a significant increase, with a rise from 37.88% to 65.63% in exclusive breastfeeding for six months between 2015 and 2021. This achievement is not limited to full-time housewives but also includes working mothers who face the challenge of being away from their babies for extended periods. While breastfeeding is often promoted as a cost-effective option, working mothers encounter hidden expenses associated with breastfeeding equipment such as breast pumps, storage containers, and nursing accessories, with costs ranging from IDR 2.6 million to IDR 8.8 million per year. Consequently, in the present circumstances, the act of renting a breast pump has transformed into an essential requirement for employed mothers who are committed to breastfeeding. This decision allows them to mitigate superfluous costs and financial burdens. The research utilizes the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) framework to understand the impact of attitudes and subjective norms on behavioral intention, considering factors such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, compatibility, personal innovativeness, interpersonal influence, and external influence. Additionally, the research employs Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to test the TRA. The TRA Analysis highlights the significance of internal and external influences, particularly in supporting subjective norms as the primary driver of behavior.
Participation and/or/ against tacit knowledge: ILAUD, 1976–1981
Authors: Lonergan Hamish
Published: August 2023

For several productive years from 1976 to 1981, the International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design (ILAUD) engaged with the issue of participation in architecture and planning in the city of Urbino. Each year, these summer workshops—founded by Giancarlo De Carlo in 1976—brought together students, educators, and prominent practitioners from across the fields of architecture, urban planning, architectural history, and art to discuss and experiment on the issue of how designers should engage with users of the built environment. In this sense, the workshop’s participants were explicitly united against what De Carlo derided as formalism, and later as eclecticism and postmodernism. At the same time, despite this broad consensus, ILAUD’s public outputs—the student work and lecture transcripts collated in the annual reports—seem to betray a set of disagreements between participants from various European and North American schools and between planners and architects. On one side, were a group of schools who argued that participation involved an analysis of the built fabric and cultural heritage of a city and its architecture; on the other, those who believed that participation required the direct involvement of future users. Yet, rather than accepting these as fundamental differences in attitude, this paper uses such apparent contradictions to argue that these various approaches were united in articulating a new, broader, and more equitable relationship between users, clients, and designers, on the cusp of postmodernity.
Diagrams in the field: Three conceptual approaches in the entries for the 1979 Australian Parliament House design competition
Authors: Tipene Luke
Published: August 2023

Compositional relationships are well established between Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin’s 1912 urban plan for Canberra and the winning design by Mitchell, Giurgola and Thorp for Australia’s New Parliament House. As recognised by Andrew Hutson in 2011 and 2013, the civic-scale geometric planning features of the parliamentary triangle and land axis—from the Griffin Plan—influenced the competition brief, submitted entries, and assessors’ deliberations for the 1979 Australian Parliament House design competition. Yet, on reviewing the remaining submissions for 324 of the competition entries in the National Archives of Australia, many schemes appear to reject an apparent alignment with the geometric symbolism of the Griffin Plan. 

This article surveys the lesser-known majority of competition submissions to consider other approaches to the relationship between Canberra’s urban plan and proposed parliamentary architecture, beyond the historical significance of the Griffin Plan. By comparing James Weirick’s 1989 criticism of Parliament’s remote location to Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter’s 1978 criticism of urban voids, it identifies three conceptual approaches to the problems of the site’s isolation—apparent in common characteristics across many entrants’ unique schemes. These three approaches include rejecting references to Canberra’s urban exterior with autonomous parliamentary architectural forms; internalising Canberra’s urban plan within parliamentary designs replete with symbolic gestures; or reclassifying parliamentary architecture as urban interiors for gathering places of public representation. Each approach reflects interpretations of Australia’s parliamentary democracy in different ways, and reveals risks and potential benefits for democratic practices when architecture and urban planning is employed to speak for the rights of others.
The “soft edge”: Heritage, special character, and new planning directives in Aotearoa cities
Authors: Hill Carolyn
Published: August 2023

Divergent visions for urban form are currently contesting the future of cities in Aotearoa. Severe pressures of population growth, inadequate housing supply, and unsustainable transport systems are raising a spectrum of voices on the appropriate planning response. The heritage field is enfolded in these debates, as intensification pressures have amplified questions about the value of historic urban fabric and the planning mechanisms that sustain it. To what extent should cities’ existing areas be retained or developed, and who gets to decide?

Focusing on the “soft edge” of heritage—early suburbs valorised as “special character”—the paper traces the history of heritage-making in urban Aotearoa and its role in maintaining the ontological security of the settler state. It first explores the processes of identifying and managing historic urban forms that have gradually evolved through Aotearoa’s planning legislation, from the early town planning acts to the Resource Management Act 1991. It then analyses the tension between contemporary urban planning directions and historic places conservation, exploring the concept of “amenity,” which is implicated in both. It concludes with some avenues for deeper collaboration between planning policy and heritage-making for more spatially and culturally equitable cities.
Drawing Ground
Authors: Jones Ella , Twose Simon
Published: August 2023

Aotearoa now recognises non-human natural entities as having personhood: Te Urewera, Whanganui Awa, Taranaki Maunga. Given the significance of this recognition, the motivation for this work is to understand the evolving relationships of humans to the living, breathing ground. To do this I engaged drawing as a thinking tool, and myself as drawer/researcher, acknowledging my lens as a Pākehā (or non-Māori). This research project reflects on this work, exploring relations to Ground in Aotearoa.

 

“Drawing Ground” is a design-research project conducted through abstract drawing investigations, exploring connections between Ground, as a person, and my body. The work culminates in the re-sketching of the historic Dominion Museum. The building’s solidity is dissolved and reimagined through intense, turbulent sketches, engaging with Ground beneath the building. Architectural sketch drawing was used as a tool for thinking, allowing ideas to emerge yet remain open-ended and contingent, in concert with the subject matter of the research. Sketching allowed me to explore my relationship to Ground through an active and open dialogue.

Throughout this process there was an imagined co-production, between me and Ground, through multiple drawing experiments. These highlight ways in which drawing-based design research can shift settler colonial perspectives on how we interact with Ground, how architecture might achieve reciprocity with Ground as co-drawer and delineator of space.

Published: August 2023

The simple diode model equation can be used to derive solar cell parameters based on current density-voltage curve. This calculation has an objective to study the working of ZnO nanorod/TiO2 as photoelectrode in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC). As a function to collect and transport the electron inside the cell, ZnO-Nr/TiO2 bilayer heterojunction works as photoanode. The equivalent circuit in real solar cell is usually based on two diode model by considering presence a large of recombination process inside the cell (non-ideal diode). We simplified the equivalent circuit with only one diode and one resistor (Rsh) in parallel with a series resistor (Rs) related to photovoltage occurs. The current loss due to back reaction and recombination process which is appeared at interfacing area between photoanode/dye and electrolyte corresponds as parallel resistance (Rp). An ideality factor (m) due to non-linear b-recombination process which is occurred inside the cell is also derived using this model. The comparison between commonly photoanode (single type of TiO2 mesoporous), multilayer ZnO nanorod/TiO2, and planar heterojunction ZnO/TiO2 is also observed in order to emphasize the interface quality of photonode to the such solar cell parameters

Advancement in steam reforming of methanol to produce hydrogen: A review
Authors: Kumar Ravindra , Kumar Anil
Published: August 2023

The main deliberation of this review paper is on metallic catalysts, including Cu-based catalysts, with distinct formulations and compositions, utilized for steam reforming of methanol (SRM). The review critically examines the performance of these catalysts, considering the active components, supports, promoters, and their interactions. Additionally, the review identifies and elucidates the various kinds of reaction mechanisms and routes involved in SRM. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the progress of well-organized and effective catalysts for SRM. To achieve high yields of H2, it is crucial to conduct a fundamental study of the role of copper as a component in both mono and multimetallic systems, as well as the nature of support. These factors are essential to understand the catalytic mechanisms involved in the steam reforming of methanol and to develop effective strategies for optimizing hydrogen production. Therefore, a thorough investigation of copper-based catalysts and their interaction with the support material is essential for the development of highly efficient steam reforming processes.

Information is a necessity for the interests of government, the economy, social culture, as well as defense and security in the era of industrial revolution 4.0. Since 1976, the Indonesian government has been working on developing a satellite communication system starting with the Palapa A1 Satellite, followed by its subsequent generations. However, this system has limitations, particularly in providing coverage to rural areas in Indonesia. To address this issue, the government has started the procurement of the Wahana Dirgantara Super or High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) in Indonesia. HAPS are stations positioned at altitudes of 20 to 50 km above the Earth's surface. Given Indonesia's geographical location, HAPS is seen as the most suitable solution as it utilizes non-ground terrestrial technology to improve information and communication technology coverage in rural areas. However, the location on which the HAPS is positioned might trigger new issues, particularly with regard to state sovereignty and disruption of flight traffic. The operation of HAPS also needs further consideration so that the protection of personal data in Indonesia will not be disrupted. This article employs normative juridical research as a methodology. The  research  collected  and analyzed primary sources in the form of law, regulation, and policy at the national and regional levels,  as  well  as  secondary  sources  that  are  available  in  textbooks,  journal  articles,  and  website  content. This article aims to explain the development of HAPS regulations based on international law and national law and to examine the legal issues related to the procurement of HAPS in Indonesia . At the end, this article suggests that it is necessary to regulate HAPS in Indonesia with reference to aviation safety, security, and liability issues as well as maintaining state sovereignty and ensuring personal data protection.
Inventar la naturaleza, simbiosis y soberanía técnica

El objetivo de este artículo es construir un marco de referencia conceptual para entender el surgimiento de procesos de invención que puedan devenir hacia la soberanía técnica, es decir que exceden las axiomáticas del paradigma tecno-científico moderno. Nuestro interés principal es el tipo de invención que está axiomatizado por una relacionalidad simbiótica en que diversos ecosistemas se constituyen a través de las actividades técnicas enactuadas por múltiples especies durante la construcción de sus respectivos nichos. En estos procesos, la tecnicidad toma ventaja de la plasticidad ecológica de un medio ambiente a través de la modulación de los patrones de comportamiento de otras especies. Más adelante, analizamos bibliografía proveniente de la antropología, la lingüística y la ecología que conscierne a las comunidades mayas contemporáneas y nos preguntamos cómo es que figuraciones nuevas a este mundo pueden ser inventadas. Finalizamos describiendo la reciprocidad entre la “simbolización diferenciante” y la “simbolización convencional”; la primera constituye figuraciones diferenciantes mientras que la segunda recombina tales figuraciones con el punto de vista colectivo.

Muchos llegamos a la ciencia desde la curiosidad, en búsqueda del entendimiento y de la belleza. Con el tiempo descubrimos que la ciencia es una herramienta tremendamente poderosa. El posible éxito y aplicabilidad de nuestro proyecto científico nos enfrentan a preguntas éticas que no podemos ignorar. En una sociedad profundamente desigual, ¿quién tiene acceso a las tec- nologías que puedan resultar? ¿Quién se beneficia y quién se perjudica? ¿Cuál es nuestra responsabilidad como científicxs e ingenierxs? ¿Qué papel jugamos en la construcción de una sociedad más justa y equitativa? Esta es la reflexión de un investigador cuyo trabajo en matema ́tica “pura” encontró aplicaciones inesperadas.

Besarnya pertumbuhan penduduk pada suatu daerah juga berdampak pada volume kendaraan yang dapat meyebabkan terjadinya konflik lalu lintas yang dapat menyebabkan konflik seperti kemacetan atau kecelakangn yang membahayakan pada pengguna jalan. Kota Padang merupakan salah satu kota yang terletak di Provinsi Sumatra Barat yang memiliki 950.871 penduduk (Badan Pusat Statistik Kota Padang 2019 ) dengan kepemilikan kendaraan sebanyak 401.420 unit yang terdaftar (BPS Kota Padang, 2019). Selama tahun 2018, kota Padang tercatat memiliki 536 kecelakaan lalu lintas dengan kerugian mencapai Rp. 1.173.950.000 (BPS Kota Padang, 2018). Dari data tersebut menunjukan bahwa pengemudi kendaraan masih belum bisa bertindak dengan sigap saat mengahadapi konflik lalu lintas. Salah satu jaringan jalan yang sedang dikembangkan adalah Jl. Dr. Wahidin, Parak Gadang, Kec. Padang Timur, Kota Padang, Sumatera Barat yang ditujukan untuk mengurangi beban volume lalu lintas di jalan pusat kota Padang. Pada ini juga tidak dilengkapi dengan pengaturan lalu lintas bersinyal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengindentifikasi jenis, frekuensi dan derah konflik serta menganalisis keselamatan pada persimpangan dengan memperhatikan tingkat keseriusan konflik dari pergerakan arus lalu lintas. Untuk menganalisa konflik lalu lintas yang terjadi digunakan metoda Time Traffic Conflict Technique. Data yang di dapat  pada metoda dengan cara merekam pergerakan lalu lintas dengan menggunakan drone. Pengambilan video dilakukan Pada lokasi penelitian hari libur dan hari kerja ditinjau pada pukul 17.15–17.30 WIB dan pukul 11.00-11.15 WIB menghasilkan 130 kejadian konflik pada hari libur yang terbagi atas 83 serious conflict dan 48 non serious conflict, pada hari kerja yang terbagi atas 30 serious conflict dan 67 non serious conflict. Dengan total kejadian non serious conflict pada hari libur dan hari kerja yang ditinjau yaitu 228 kejadian konfllik dari 329 kejadian konflik serius dengan persentase mencapai 50,66%.

Proposta: As tecnologias digitais têm acelerado inovações que influenciam novos hábitos de consumo e viabilizam modelos de negócios, inclusive de potencial disruptivo. Porém, os conceitos de Transformação Digital e dos tipos de Inovação ainda são diversos na literatura. Este trabalho propõe um Modelo Conceitual de Inovação e Transformação Digital (MCI&TD) para apoiar as estratégias de Inovação e Transformação Digital das organizações. Metodologia: Este estudo, de abordagem metodológica da Design Science Research (DSR), foi realizado em sete etapas, desde a identificação do problema até a comunicação dos resultados. O MCI&TD foi preliminarmente validado no contexto de uma escola privada de educação básica. Resultados: As análises com apoio do MCI&TD revelaram que a escola tem investido mais em Inovações com Objetivos de Sustentação, que o ensino online como resposta aos impactos da COVID-19 não se caracteriza como Inovação Disruptiva, e que há oportunidades de viabilizar acesso à educação básica através de Inovações Disruptivas direcionadas ao não consumo. Originalidade: Este trabalho é uma contribuição para o campo das estratégias de inovação e transformação digital, e propõe um modelo original, validado preliminarmente, que visa contribuir para a Teoria da Inovação e auxiliar as organizações a caracterizarem suas iniciativas de Inovação e Transformação Digital, de modo a apoiá-las na formulação de estratégias mais aderentes ao alcance de seus objetivos.
Neuromodulation of spinal reflex pathway for the treatment of detrusor overactivity by medial plantar nerve stimulation at surface of sole of foot in patients with spinal cord injury

Published: August 2023

Objectives:

Suprasacral spinal cord lesions are prone to have neurogenic detrusor overactivity leading to urinary incontinence. Current medical management has known side-effects and often surgical managements are irreversible. Electrical stimulation to modulate spinal reflex pathway having same nerve root as urinary bladder is reported in the literature. This study aimed to reduce detrusor overactivity in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) using surface electrical stimulation of medial plantar nerve at the sole of foot.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty adults with SCI having episode of at least 1 leak/day due to detrusor overactivity as diagnosed by cystometrogram (CMG), were on clean intermittent catheterization and ankle jerk was present consented for the study. Participants were asked to maintain bladder diary a week before and during 2 weeks of treatment. CMG was done on day-0 and day-14. cmcUroModul@tor®, an inhouse developed electrical stimulator was used for ½ h daily for period of 2 weeks. Patient satisfaction feedback questionnaire was taken on completion of treatment. CMG data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-ranked test while bladder diary was analyzed using binomial distribution. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Institutional Review Board (IRB) and ethics committee of Christian Medical College, Vellore, approved the study (CMC/IRB/11061).

Results:

Statistical significant improvement in maximum detrusor pressure (P = 0.03) and cystometric capacity (P = 0.04) was observed. Of 20 subjects, 18 showed improvement in bladder diary.

Conclusion:

Neuromodulation of medial plantar nerve at sole of foot by surface electrical stimulation is non-invasive, cost-effective, and alternative simple treatment modality for urinary incontinence due to detrusor overactivity.
MUSICALIZATION OF THE NOVEL “NOCTURNE B-MOLL” BY Y. KOSACH AND “THIRST FOR MUSIC” BY V. PETROV (DOMONTOVYCH)
Authors: Zviahina Hanna , Pototska Olena
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the musicalization of the novel “Nocturne b-moll” by Y. Kosach and “Thirst for Music” by V. Petrov (Domontovych). It was noted that both the studied authors became the founders of the Artistic Ukrainian Movement (MUR). This is an organization of Ukrainian émigré writers, founded in Germany in 1945. Small prose, which prevailed in the mentioned period, was distinguished by a variety of themes and writer techniques. Common and distinctive modern trends are defined using the comparative aspect. For example, fragmentation, the splitting the world into visual sensations, including color, graphic and olfactory, fixation by the characters of individual details of the interior, clothing, and appearance of other characters, film coating method. Among the linguistic features, we find direct speech and improper direct speech in Kosach novel, and indirect speech in Domontovych novel. Attention is paid to determining the sources of musicality of the works of the specified authors. Ways of displaying music in works are highlighted. The considered novels of Kosach and Domontovych have an organic combination of musical and theoretical positions with the views of the writers on literature. The tendency towards musicalization is reflected in the title, borrowed elements of “musicality” are used in fragments interpreting listening or performing music (in Domontovych) and a certain subtext. For Kosach, music shapes reality, replaces words and actions, expresses emotions. It was concluded that the constant discussion of music is the same in both authors. The authors treat it as something sacred, completely incomprehensible to people.

Published: August 2023

The article deals with the challenges and perspectives of using artificial intelligence tools based on the large language models in the practice of training professionals in linguistic and translation fields of study at higher education institutions. Based on the analysis of scientific publications, the methodical principles of correct and academically integer application of the artificial intelligence tools in pedagogical and translation practice have been outlined. Founded on the example of ChatGTP, the concept of the principal compatibility of its use with the norms of academic integrity has been suggested – for the improvement of learning outcomes of students and for the forming of critical rational thinking and optimization of time and resources use as well. Based on the personal pedagogic experience of the authors in teaching non-related – informational technological and philological disciplines and on the empirical material of completed classes with the use of ChatGTP, the weak points of artificial intelligence systems in the training of philologists and translators, the risks of their uncritical use, restricted efficiency in forming of professional competencies and especially of common background knowledge has been analyzed. The conclusion has been made about the necessity of combination the use of artificial intelligence in the real time mood with the forming methods of elaborated creative teaching tasks that do not provoke the plagiarism and about the increase of the share of vivid communication in foreign languages in practice of teaching linguistic and translation disciplines to prevent the domination of the hybrid quasi-communication with the chat-bot. At the same time, the positive role of artificial intelligence in generation of the text information with the correct, academically integer reference to its source and in the practical written translation of the narrow-specialized terminologically intensive text by their careful reviewing has been stated.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE GENRE «PUBLIC SPEECH OF A POLITICIAN» IN MODERN ENGLISH DISCOURSE
Authors: Chernysh Oksana , Biloshytska Zoia , Panchenko Natalia , Honcharuk Natalia
Published: August 2023

The article examines the structure of modern English political discourse's «public speech of a politician» genre. Nowadays, one of the urgent issues of modern linguistics is the study of discourse in terms of the speech behavior of a person in the broad context of his life activities in society. Directly, "discourse" is multifaceted and is used with different meanings. In the study, the authors used President Volodymyr Zelenskyi's speeches to the legislative bodies of other countries and online appeals to the world community regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war. The research proves that compositional clarity is essential in constructing the «public speech of a politician» genre. According to many researchers, the addressee needs to have a sense of proportion in the volume: the speech should be the topic and facts required at most. In particular, three blocks can be distinguished in the composition: – greetings to the audience; – the main part, and the summary. Each block differs in the corresponding graphic and linguistic stylistic embodiment. Attention is focused on convincing the audience and taking into account socio-cultural and historical factors, professional characteristics of listeners, and regional differences. The authors note that in each block, the president of Ukraine carefully chooses words to emphasize the importance of what he said. Using repetitions in his speeches, he expresses respect for the countries' leaders, appeals to the world community, and strives to build close associative ties between Ukraine and the states, to which he addresses and outlines the tragic nature of the current situation.
