Authors: Ayuningtias Diah Ikawati , Ekawati Rosyida
Published: July 2024

This study is intended to analyze the category of toponyms of tourism destinations in Bangkalan, Madura in particular the four villages where the tourism destinations exist based on the aspect of the naming system. Then, it identifies the relation between the toponym with the cultural values of the names of those tourism destinations.  This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The data are names of the villages in Kamal, Socah, and Bangkalan districts in which there are four tourism villages. The data collection was carried out by observing, interviewing the head of the villages, and reviewing the document of villages for tourism destinations. Results of the study show that there are three aspects of toponymy in the four tourism villages. They are toponymy of vegetation, history, and embodiment. There is no regional toponymy. From the aspect of naming the villages, it can provide important cultural and historical moments representing the people's lives, religious, and linguistic creativity. The place name is not merely arbitrary but depends on various factors or aspects and provides linguistic and cultural information toward the name of the four tourism villages in this study.
Exploring nominalization and lexical density deployed within research article abstracts: A grammatical metaphor analysis
Authors: Istiqomah Faizatul , Basthomi Yazid
Published: July 2024

In research articles published for international reputable journals, the crucial role of abstracts to attract readers, especially reviewers or editors, is not in doubt. The article is expected to not experience direct desk rejection due to non-impressive and persuasive lexical choices in the abstract for further reading. This paper proposes a corpus study to scrutinize ideational grammatical metaphor (IGM) from the abstracts of successfully published articles in four applied linguistic quality indexed Scopus journals (Q1 and Q2) managed by Asian countries. The data were analyzed based on Halliday’s SFL framework focused on the realization of IGM in nominalization and lexical density. The pattern of IGM examined was on the transference of process and quality nominalization through morphological derivations. The findings show that the shift from process to thing dominates the other with many variations of suffixes within the words. In addition, the abstracts’ lexical density results ranged from 45 to 72 percent. Thus, it is suggested that English teachers consider raising students’ awareness of nominalization to produce lexically dense but informative texts in their academic writing classes.
Using reading journals to identify moral values in the extensive reading books
Authors: Prancisca Stella , Rizqi Muhammad Ainur
Published: July 2024

With the mushrooming popularity of extensive reading in language classrooms, teachers might be unaware that students are not only gaining linguistic inputs from their reading but also those related to non-linguistic ones, such as moral values. Frankly speaking, some values may suit their culture, but others may not. This research then aimed to investigate these non-linguistic inputs the students obtained when participating in the Extensive Reading ER program. This is important amid the domination of Western culture in stories that students mostly use. This research tried to identify the types of moral values students attained after attending a one-semester ER program. Also, it questioned if these values fit with the culture and place where they lived. Using the diary method, this research collected students’ post-reading journals over one academic semester. The journals should be filled in every time the students finish reading. Involving 30 students as participants, the research generated 397 entries, 13 on average. The data were analyzed by classifying the students’ responses into five principles of moral values proposed by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. This research found that most moral values in the ER program aligned with those in Indonesia, despite a few differences. It also provided two most frequent moral values that were surprisingly close to Western culture. This research shared some interesting discussion, including the possible reasons why these two categories have a strong domination, outperforming other categories. Finally, the research also provides important notes regarding what teachers should do and key suggestions for future research.

Published: July 2024

This study seeks to examine the effects of risk management strategies on the success of construction projects in Myanmar, a country with a rapidly expanding construction industry that has received little scholarly attention. Using a combination of traditional paper-based surveys and online questionnaires, a comprehensive dataset has been compiled for this study. The participants, which included project managers, project engineers, safety engineers, financial experts, and project proprietors, played a crucial role in providing diverse perspectives. From the initial sample of 500 questionnaires, a response rate of 84.6 percent yielded 397 valid responses. Using Smart PLS as a data analysis instrument, the study deconstructed risk management into its fundamental components: identification, analysis, response, and monitoring. In addition to the immediate effects, the study reveals the intermediate roles played by financial performance and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) issues. The findings indicate a correlation between the implementation of effective risk management strategies and the overall success of construction projects. The intermediate effect of financial performance and HSE performance strengthens the relationship between these variables. This research offers significant academic and practical insights by providing evidence-based strategies to improve risk management practices in Myanmar's rapidly developing construction industry.

COMMUNICATION PATTERNS OF THE JUNAIDIYAH THARȊQAH (SUFI ORDER) IN THE CASE OF THE RELOCATION OF SHAIKH MUHAMMAD QURTHUBI'S TOMB IN PALANGKA RAYA
Authors: El Bilad Cecep Zakarias , Zainab Siti , Fatmah Nor , Fadli Syairil
Published: July 2024

The relocation of the grave of Junaidiyah Tharȋqah’s leader, Shaikh Muhammad Qurthubi, in Palangka Raya is quite unique. It was done without dismantling the old grave or moving his body. This unusual step was based on mystical messages from the shaikh’s spirit to his chosen students. This research explores why this action was taken and how this mystical doctrine became the shared belief of the community. It is a qualitative study, and data were collected through interviews and observation, using a phenomenological approach. The research findings are analyzed using theories of group communication, ritual communication, and the psychology of communication. The results show that Junaidiyah Tharȋqah is a primary group with norms and doctrines that members must follow, which determine their communication patterns. These patterns tend to be one-way in matters of teachings and spirituality, and multi-directional in administrative and institutional matters. Interpersonal communication is intimate and solid. The research implies that the Junaidiyah Tharȋqah's mystical doctrines deeply influence their members' communication patterns, fostering unwavering spiritual loyalty and shaping unique interpersonal and group communication dynamics.

The effect of institutional quality on banking performance in emerging countries
Authors: Halaç Umut , Durak Mustafa , Çelik İlyas
Published: July 2024

Banks play a crucial role in the economy and improving their performance
leads to healthier economic activities. Therefore, the methods of
efficiently measuring bank performance need to be highlighted. The "CAMELS"
rating system has become the most comprehensive and contemporary measurement
method in this context. Various factors, both bank-specific and
country-specific, affect bank performance. Among these factors, the
Worldwide Governance Indicators reflect the public's perception of
institutional quality, a proxy for country-specific factors. This study
aims to analyze the impact of the Worldwide Governance Indicators on bank
performance, using a sample of 1649 banks in 26 emerging countries within
the 2008-2018 period. The system GMM results demonstrate that these
indicators significantly affect banking performance in different aspects and
directions.

Published: July 2024

We investigated whether characterization of full-length GAD (f-GADA) antibody (GADA) responses could identify early insulin requirement in adult-onset diabetes. In 179 f-GADA–positive participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, we assessed associations of truncated GADA (t-GADA) positivity, f-GADA IgG subclasses, and f-GADA affinity with early insulin requirement (<5 years), type 1 diabetes genetic risk score (T1D GRS), and C-peptide. t-GADA positivity was lower in f-GADA–positive without early insulin in comparison with f-GADA–positive type 2 diabetes requiring insulin within 5 years, and T1D (75% vs. 91% and 95% respectively, P < 0.0001). t-GADA positivity (in those f-GADA positive) identified a group with a higher T1D genetic susceptibility (mean T1D GRS 0.248 vs. 0.225, P = 0.003), lower C-peptide (1,156 pmol/L vs. 4,289 pmol/L, P = 1 × 10−7), and increased IA-2 antigen positivity (23% vs. 6%, P = 0.03). In survival analysis, t-GADA positivity was associated with early insulin requirement compared with those only positive for f-GADA, independently from age of diagnosis, f-GADA titer, and duration of diabetes (adjusted hazard ratio 5.7 [95% CI 1.4, 23.5], P = 0.017). The testing of t-GADA in f-GADA–positive individuals with type 2 diabetes identifies those who have genetic and clinical characteristics comparable to T1D and stratifies those at higher risk of early insulin requirement.

Abstract

Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) reduces liver steatosis and cardiometabolic risk (CMR). Only few data are available on lipid metabolism and no information on the postprandial lipidomic profile. Thus, we investigated how exenatide treatment changes lipid metabolism and composition during fasting and after a meal tolerance test (MTT) in adults with severe obesity without diabetes. Thirty individuals (26F/4M, 30-60 years old, BMI>40 kg/m2, HbA1c=5.76%) were assigned (1:1) to diet with exenatide treatment (EXE, n=15, 10 μg twice-daily) or without treatment as control (CT, n=15) for 3 months. Fasting and postprandial lipidomic profile (by LC/MS-QTOF) and fatty acid metabolism (following a 6-hour MTT/tracer study) and composition (by GC/MS) were evaluated before and after treatment. Both groups had slight weight loss (EXE: -5.5% vs CT: -1.9%, p=0.052). During fasting, exenatide, compared to CT, reduced some ceramides (CER) and lysophosphocholines (LPC) previously associated with CMR, while relatively increasing unsaturated phospholipid species (PC, LPC) with protective effects on CMR, although concentrations of total lipid species were unchanged. During MTT, both groups suppressed lipolysis equally to baseline, but EXE exenatide significantly lowered free fatty acid clearance and postprandial triacyclglycerols (TAG) concentrations, particularly saturated TAGs with 44-54 carbons. Exenatide also reduced some postprandial CERs, PCs, LPCs previously linked to cardiometabolic risk. These changes in lipidomic profile remained statistically significant after adjusting for weight loss. Exenatide improved fasting and postprandial lipidomic profile associated with CMR mainly by reducing saturated postprandial TAGs and CERs, independently of weight loss and diabetes.

Highlights

· Few data are available on the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on lipid metabolism and no information on the postprandial lipidomic profile.

· In non-diabetic adults with severe obesity, 3-month treatment with exenatide improved fasting and postprandial lipidomic profile associated with cardiometabolic risk (CMR) by decreasing saturated species (TAGs, CERs, LPCs) while increasing 7 unsaturated phospholipid species (PC, LPC) with protective effects on CMR compared to control.

· Exenatide blunted the rise in postprandial triglycerides especially saturated TAGs.

· Postprandial triglycerides reduction was associated to decreased postprandial FFA clearance, with lower saturated FFA incorporation into newly synthesized lipids (TAGs and CERs).

The periods of formation, development and creativity of the epic poem as a whole are systematically involved in the study, while the existing ideas and conclusions formed around the epic poem are summarized and considered from a principled point of view, conclusions are reached that do not lose their significance even today.
INTERLINGUAL HOMONYMS IN THE PROFESSIONAL SUBLANGUAGE OF THEATRE
Authors: Kiyko Svitlana
Published: July 2024

The article comprehensively investigates the phenomenon of internationality of the sublanguage of theatre and establishes intra- and extra-linguistic differences between etymologically related German and Ukrainian theatre terms. As a result of the culturally specific semantic and stylistic evolution in the bosom of a particular national carrier language and national theatre terminology, the semantic structures of theatre terms have been enriched with additional non-international meanings. Comparison of the internal side of the studied vocabulary allows us to divide it into two large groups: complete and partial interlingual homonyms. To complete interlingual terminological homonyms we refer four types of divergence: homopairs that have no formal equivalents in German or Ukrainian theatre language, but have such equivalents in other terminologies or spheres; terminopairs whose members, having a similar internal form, denote different reference spheres in different branches of theatre; homonymous term groups formed as a result of intra-linguistic homonymy or paronymy in German; pairs of complete interlingual homonyms containing the most general common seme, which is realised in different ways in each formal equivalent. Partial interlingual terminological homonyms include formally parallel etymologically related units, at least one of the terminological meanings of which refers to the same referential sphere, while the other(s) do not coincide.

Authors: Pylypchuk Iryna , Pylypchuk Sofiya
Published: July 2024

Intrauterine infection occurs as a result of transplacental, amniotic, ascending or descending infection. The spectrum of pathogens is diverse: bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, and combinations of pathogens. When an infection enters the body of a pregnant woman, pathological changes in the fetus and amniotic fluid structures can have varying degrees of severity, from local to generalized. Cytomegalovirus infection is a widespread infection in the human population and affects 50 to 100% of the adult population. The infection leads to miscarriage, severe complications during pregnancy, birth of severely premature babies, birth of children with congenital malformations and pathology of internal organs, autism, further lag in physical and mental development, and disability of children. Timely prevention of CMV infection before and during pregnancy, compliance with hygiene standards, knowledge of a healthy lifestyle, culture of sexual relations, contraceptive methods and methods of prevention of sexually transmitted infections, rules of care for children with disabilities and the elderly, identification and formation of risk groups among pregnant women for primary infection or relapse of a chronic process, timely laboratory diagnosis of the activity of the infectious process and specific treatment

Effective communication skills are essential for instructors, facilitating lucid and accessible explanations of intricate concepts and enhancing students’ comprehension of the material. The instructor’s capacity to stimulate the intellectual growth of PhD candidates, nurture creative and critical thinking, and employ innovative teaching methodologies delineates a high level of professionalism. An instructor should also be committed to encouraging the personal development of students, fostering their critical thinking, creative autonomy, and self-expression. All these efforts contribute to the cultivation of academic integrity among PhD candidates. In essence, these characteristics converge to transform the instructor into not just a conduit of knowledge but also a mentor who nurtures the scholarly potential of future PhDs.
SOCIOCULTURAL BACKGROUND AND THE SEMANTIC CHANGE OF THE CONCEPT CHOICE (a case study poetic texts by John Keats)
Authors: Matkovska Mariya
Published: July 2024

The aim of the paper is to prove the hypothesis: the conceptual schema Choice verbally embodied into the text is formed on the basis of interpretation of conceptual structures represented by socio-cultural experience. The article deals with the concept of Choice in terms of its history, etymology and change. The author tries to analyse the concept of Choice and to compare it with original meaning and different opinions in order to clarify it. The relevance of the paper is due to the need to identify the common and specific features in poetry of John Keats. And also the interrelation of language and context, which will promote the better understanding of the rational worldview reflected in the linguistic pictorial version of the universe. The relevance of my topic is also confirmed by the fact that raised understanding as a cognitive choice that is hard for everyone to make, which carries with it many consequences, which disposes of the concepts of imposition of good and evil, dark and light, freedom and slavery, life and death. The concept Choice is a central category of philosophy. It expresses ideas about human existence. It is the level of all that is positive and all that is negative in human life. Through the prism of this concept, human actions are evaluated.

The article presents the results of a study on social and pedagogical activity in Ukraine in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, including current trends in the work of a social pedagogue in the educational sphere. The emphasis is placed on the importance of social and pedagogical/social work in the context of the war, which has caused significant challenges in the humanitarian sphere. The importance of support from the international community is emphasized, particularly in the social sphere (providing shelter for Ukrainian refugees, supporting the education of Ukrainian children displaced to other regions and abroad, humanitarian aid at the beginning of the fullscale war, etc.). The research methodology includes methods of theoretical and empirical analysis, including theoretical analysis of international guidelines for social and pedagogical/social work; empirical analysis of normative and instructional documents on the activities of a social pedagogue in the educational sphere, including in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war; empirical (qualitative) analysis of essays by students of the specialty "social work" of the University "Ukraine" (Kyiv, Ukraine) on the topic "Social pedagogy: essence and importance in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war"; generalization and systematization of research results. Due to the specifics of the research, we gave preference to the qualitative methodology. The results of the study allowed us to generalize the current trends in social and pedagogical activity in the educational sphere. These include: creation of a psychologically comfortable educational environment for all participants in the educational process (pupils, teachers, parents); providing psychosocial support to students affected by the war (children from families of combatants, children from families of internally displaced persons, etc.); implementation of measures for social adaptation and rehabilitation; formation of a culture of safety and other competencies important in the context of war, etc.

This study is devoted to the issue of determining the price of a real estate object based on the use of statistical market evaluations of similar objects. In the course of the research, a technique for determining the price of a real estate object was developed using parametric equations of the least squares method, which allows using an unlimited amount of input information and obtaining equalized values of price-forming factors. In contrast to the existing methods of the comparative approach to determining the price of the object of assessment, the proposed method allows you to obtain the value of the price-forming factors, and then the price of the object without establishing the difference between the factors influencing the price, as is the case with the classical approach of processing the input database. Approbation of the developed methodology showed the effectiveness of the possibility of its application in practice.
