СТАНДАРТИЗАЦІЯ VS СПЕЦИФІКАЦІЯ: СТИЛІСТИЧНИЙ ПІДХІД ДО КОНВЕРГЕНЦІЇ ТА ДИВЕРГЕНЦІЇ В АНГЛОМОВНОМУ БІЗНЕС-ДИСКУРСІ
Authors: Бабелюк О. А.
Published: May 2024

Глобалізований світ вимагає ефективної комунікації в бізнес-середовищі. У статті досліджено взаємодію між стандартизацією та специфікацією в письмовому діловому дискурсі, зосереджуючись на англійській мові. Хоча глобалізація сприяє зближенню стилів спілкування, національні особливості все ще можуть впливати на використання мови. У статті досліджуються стилістичні особливості англомовного письмового ділового дискурсу. Розглядається поняття інституційного ділового дискурсу (ІДД) та його основні характеристики, зокрема шаблонні вирази та дотримання статусних ролей. Представлений аналіз заглиблюється у стилістичне використання пасивного стану та модальних дієслів, виявляє зсув до активного стану в англійському діловому дискурсі для надання йому більш ділового тону. Значну увагу приділено зростанню тенденції до ґендерно нейтральної мови в англійському діловому спілкуванні, використання ґендерно нейтральних займенників і уникнення ґендерно маркованих іменників. Це відображає еволюцію соціального ландшафту та юридичне визнання небінарних ідентичностей. У статті також досліджуються загальновживані дієслова, частки та фразеологічні одиниці в обох мовах. Наголошується на важливості ясності та точності в діловому дискурсі, підкреслюється обмежене використання жаргону й емоційно забарвленої лексики. Основні висновки дослідження: зближення стилів спілкування внаслідок глобалізації; збереження національної специфіки в лексиці та фразеології; письмовий діловий дискурс як форма інституційного ділового дискурсу; зсув у бік активного стану в англійському діловому дискурсі; зростання ґендерно нейтральної лексики в англійському діловому спілкуванні; важливість ясності та точності в англійській мові. Стаття також пропонує цінні поради щодо ефективної міжкультурної ділової комунікації, підкреслює необхідність балансування між стандартизованими елементами ділової мови та її національною специфікою для забезпечення чіткої та професійної комунікації.
ЗАСОБИ ВИРАЖЕННЯ ВИБАЧЕННЯ В АНГЛІЙСЬКИХ ЛИЦАРСЬКИХ РОМАНАХ XII–XV СТОЛІТЬ
Authors: Гродський І. Я.
Published: May 2024

Статтю присвячено дослідженню прагматичних характеристик вибачення в середньоанглійських лицарських романах. Вибачення визначається як мовленнєвий акт, що поєднує дві рівноправні складові частини іллокутивної сили вибачення: емотивну – вираження психологічного стану провини й сорому, спонукальну – прохання про вибачення. Вибачення може стримувати агресію, воно спрямоване на відновлення гармонійних стосунків. Досі увагу лінгвістів привертають формули вибачення, що виконують низку важливих соціальних функцій, спрямовані на підтримку гармонійних міжособистісних взаємин між співрозмовниками й уникнення конфліктів. Ми розглядаємо вибачення як важливий соціо- та психолінгвістичний феномен, оскільки реалізація його засобів значною мірою залежить від таких чинників, як соціальний стан учасників мовленнєвого акту, їхній вік, службові та персональні стосунки, ступінь спорідненості, освіта, виховання, характер, смаки тощо. Вибачення є також однією із центральних одиниць мовленнєвого етикету. Вибачення визнається невід’ємною ознакою комунікації, пов’язаною із ціннісно-нормативною системою соціуму, що слугує засобом запобігання порушенню соціальних норм. Важливо зауважити, що не всі лінгвальні форми вибачення передають його семантику, адже є й такі, що експлікують прикрість, жаль, співчуття. На нашу думку, комплексний аналіз одиниць вибачення з погляду лінгвопрагматики дозволив ґрунтовніше описати природу вибачення в середньоанглійській мові. Сутність мовленнєвого акту вибачення зводиться до того, що за допомогою деяких слів, вимовлених за визначених обставин, мовець водночас приймає на себе відповідальність за шкоду, завдану адресатові, виражає жаль щодо цього, пропонуючи адресатові прийняти вибачення як компенсацію завданої шкоди, просить його зберегти наявний баланс у відносинах. Однак для з’ясування передумов, механізмів і способів його функціонування потрібно скористатися лінгвістичними парадигмами досліджень із відповідними методами наукового аналізу. Комплексний підхід до вивчення вибачення як етикетної одиниці дозволив установити діалектичну єдність номінативно-змістовного боку вибачення з його прагматичною та стилістичною функцією.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To analyze the detection of lung nodules and lung cancer by low-dose spiral computed tomography (CT) of the chest in the population during health checkups. Methods: A total of 1,000 cases were selected for the data study and the data were retrospectively analyzed to detect lung nodules. They were divided into groups according to age, gender, and size of nodules, and the detection of lung nodules and lung cancer was compared. Results: A total of 268 lung nodules were detected, and the detection rates between genders were not significant (P > 0.05). The detection rate of lung nodules increased with age and stabilized after 60 years. When analyzing the size of lung nodules, there were 65 cases of nodules over 8mm. The patients were followed up for 18 months, with 36 cases of visits indicating lung cancer. A total of 10 cases were detected, including 7 cases of adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Low-dose spiral CT chest examination during checkups can detect lung cancer early so that high-risk lung nodules can be dealt with promptly. Underlying lung adenocarcinoma can also be discovered. Individuals more than 40 years of age should regularly conduct low-dose spiral CT chest examinations to detect the presence of lung nodules or lung cancer as early as possible.

Poverty in the neoliberal tale of language textbook
Authors: Pogorzelska Marzanna , Peck Marlys , Wilt Maureen
Published: May 2024

This article presents the results of the critical analysis of English language textbooks. The research was focused on the textbook images of poverty to show possible contributions of educational materials to promoting a neoliberal system. The research methodology was based on content analysis realized with ATLAS.ti 7 qualitative data coding program, and Critical Discourse Analysis allowing for the analysis of discursive strategies at thematic, grammatical, lexical, and compositional levels. The analysis of the texts showed clear tendencies regarding the presentation of the problem of poverty, with privatizing responsibility for its causes and effects, marginalizing systemic solutions, a high degree of generality, objectifying people affected by poverty and presenting the issue in an optimistic light. The textbook message fits into the neoliberal story of equal opportunities for every human being, at the same time trivializing the analyzed problem and limiting the possibility of reflection on the systemic contexts of poverty.

Autochthonous and imported giardiasis cases: An analysis of two decades of national surveillance data, Germany, 2002 to 2021
Authors: Hommes Franziska , Dörre Achim , Behnke Susanne C , Stark Klaus , Faber Mirko
Published: May 2024

Background

Giardia duodenalis is a major cause of gastroenteritis globally, and is the most common food- and waterborne parasitic infection in Europe.

Aim

To describe the epidemiology of reported acute giardiasis cases in Germany and compare demographic and clinical characteristics between imported and autochthonous cases.

Methods

We conducted a descriptive analysis of giardiasis cases that fulfilled the national case definition and were reported between January 2002 and December 2021. We defined an imported case as having at least one place of exposure abroad in the 3–25 days before symptom onset. We analysed case numbers and incidence by age, sex, month reported and geographic region, both overall and stratified by autochthonous and imported cases.

Results

From 2002 to 2021, 72,318 giardiasis cases were reported in Germany, corresponding to a mean annual incidence of 4.4 per 100,000 population. Annual incidence gradually decreased since 2013, declining sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020–21. Of 69,345 cases reported between 2002 and 2019, 35% were imported. Incidence of autochthonous cases (overall yearly mean: 3.1/100,000) was highest in males and young children (< 5 years); imported cases were predominantly adults aged 20–39 years. We identified seasonal patterns for imported and autochthonous cases.

Conclusions

Giardiasis in Germany is typically assumed to be imported. Our data, however, underline the importance of autochthonous giardiasis. Travel advice might reduce imported infections, but prevention strategies for autochthonous infections are less clear. Dietary, behavioural and environmental risk factors need to be further investigated to enhance infection prevention measures for autochthonous giardiasis.

This research aims to investigate Puputan Margarana and its impact on the physical revolution in Bali, both from a military and psychological perspective, and then to gain a clearer understanding of the tactics and strategies of resistance in Bali following the Puputan Margarana. This study employs historical methods encompassing heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The research findings indicate that the impact of Puputan Margarana resulted in psychological turmoil for the fighters in the Buleleng region, leading to sadness and a profound sense of loss due to the fall of Ngurah Rai and his staff. The post-Puputan Margarana physical revolution in Bali witnessed the reorganization of MBU-DPRI and the emergence of MBI, along with various persuasive actions to implement the minimum Banyuning program, the infiltration of DPRI's influence into government organs, and acts of violence against those openly supportive of NICA. With the achievement of the Renville Agreement in 1948, the shift in resistance in Buleleng came to be known as the "penurunan" (covert withdrawal) and "penyerahan" (official surrender), as orchestrated by Wijakusuma and the core leaders of MBU-DPRI.

Published: May 2024

Pleiocarpa mutica (Apocynaceae) is a pharmaceutical plant investigated to identify the usefulness and efficacy of the shrubs in the treatment of various ailments. Also, flavonoids are polypenolic compounds frequently found in nature and are divided into flavones, anthocyanidins, isoflavones, catechins, flavonols, chalcones, and flavonones based on the structure of their chemicals. Hence, fresh leaves of Pleiocarpa mutica were collected from Ugbene-Ajima, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria. The extraction of a flavonoid-rich fraction of P. mutica leaves was conducted by dissolving a certain amount of crude extract in 20 mL of 10% H2SO4 in a tiny flask and then heating the mixture in a water bath for 30 minutes at 100 °C to initiate hydrolysis. However, quantitative phytochemical analysis of the P. mutica flavonoid-rich fraction was carried out by utilizing standard conventional protocols. Newly drawn human blood samples were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3,000 rpm, with the supernatant (plasma) being disposed of. After being measured and reconstituted as a 40% (v/v) suspension with phosphate-buffered saline, the red blood cells were rinsed three times with an equivalent volume of normal saline. The fraction substantially (p < 0.05) reduced the activity of phospholipase A2 in a concentration-dependent approach when compared to the standard drug (prednisolone), with a range of 0.2 mL to 1.0 mL reducing the amount of the enzyme by 47.58% to 63.61%. These results showed that the flavonoid-rich fraction of Pleiocarpa mutica leaves is potent in curtailing the inflammatory response through inhibition of phospholipase A2 activity.

Authors: EL FELLAH SARA  , ADALI IMANE  , MANOUDI FATIHA
Published: May 2024

This case study highlights a critical incidence of olanzapine-induced diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in a 36-year-old female patient treated for major depressive disorder with psychotic features. The patient developed severe DKA after the initiation of olanzapine, despite initially normal metabolic parameters and a low starting dose. This report underscores the acute metabolic derangement facilitated by olanza- pine, necessitating a comprehensive and urgent medical approach. The clinical intervention involved discontinuing olanzapine and initiating a multidisciplinary treatment strategy, which included medical management of DKA and psychiatric adjustments using alternatives with a lower metabolic risk. This case emphasizes the necessity for regular metabolic monitoring and the potential need for tailored psychiatric medication strategies to prevent severe side effects, highlighting the unpredictability of antipsychotic- induced metabolic disturbances and advocating for a holistic, patient-centered approach in psychiatric care.

Published: May 2024

Apart from having educational and development goals, the management of Diponegoro University's Wanadipa Special Purpose Forest Area (KHDTK) also aims to carry out sustainable forest use activities. The management carries out efforts to achieve these goals through a deliberative governance approach, including public consultation. However, the management is not yet satisfied with the results, considering that the community around the forest has not participated well in managing the KHDTK. Therefore, this research aims to analyze deliberative governance in KHDTK forest management by testing three deliberative governance criteria: representation, participation, and deliberation process. This approach is a collaborative effort between managers of Special Purpose Forest Areas (KHDTK) and farming communities around the forest. Mixed research methods were used in this research, with a concurrent embedded model. The qualitative research approach uses key informants as data sources, while quantitative research uses respondents consisting of forest farmers. The results of the research show that KHDTK forest management based on aspects of representation, participation, and deliberation has not run optimally. Therefore, it is recommended that intensive and open communication between KHDTK managers and forest farming communities be improved in KHDT forest management, which will provide benefits to both parties.
On the basis of sex: a liberal feminist analysis of women’s struggle for education
Authors: Yashinta Friska Oktaviani , Nurhayati Sulasih
Published: May 2024

This study delves into the portrayal of women's struggles for education as depicted in the Hollywood film “On the Basis of Sex.” It seeks to address the pervasive influence of patriarchal dominance that impedes women's educational rights. The narrative is primarily framed around the life experiences of the film's central figure, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who contends with male counterparts in her quest for admission to prestigious law school programs in the United States. Simultaneously, feminists advocate for education as a cornerstone for women's empowerment and gender equality. It empowers women to become agents of change, thereby emphasising their equal rights to shape a better world. The research adopts a qualitative approach, collecting both primary and secondary data, and employs liberal feminist critical theory for data analysis. Key findings reveal the disadvantaged state of American women in the late 1950s, marked by limited educational access. Despite these obstacles, women, exemplified by Ginsburg, displayed unwavering determination and unity in their pursuit of improved educational opportunities, subsequently expanding their presence in the legal profession and public employment. Ginsburg’s remarkable journey serves as an enduring symbol of resilience and inspiration for others, reaffirming the notion that education is a universal right transcending gender barrier.

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) is reviewed in this article. Multimedia technology is just a teaching tool that may be utilized to improve the classroom experience; the concept of bringing multimedia into the classroom is not new. The purpose of this essay was to look at the perspectives and first-hand experiences of English language teachers on how ICT affects classroom management. A case study methodology, a subset of qualitative research design, was employed in this study. ICT is heavily used in management classroom training because teaching the development of a broad range of technical, social, and conceptual skills is necessary for management. English language instructors gain from the use of ICT since it improves instruction efficiency, inspires students to learn, and simplifies classroom operations.

This research aims to determine the influence of Self Esteem and work ethic on the organizational commitment of Civil Servants of the Maritime and Fisheries Service of West Kalimantan Province. The data analysis method in this research is multiple linear regression analysis, correlation coefficient (R), coefficient of determination (R2), simultaneous test (F test) and partial test (t test). The value of the multiple linear regression equation obtained is Y = 2.651 + 0.243X1 + 0.667X2. This means that if Self Esteem and work ethic are worth 0 then the organizational commitment of Civil Servants at the Maritime and Fisheries Service of West Kalimantan Province is worth 2,651 units. The correlation coefficient value is 0.607. Thus, it can be interpreted that the relationship between independent variable and dependent variable is categorized as strong. The coefficient of determination is 0.369 or equal to 36.9%. Thus the Self Esteem and work ethic influence the organizational commitment variable by 36.9%. The results of the simultaneous test (F Test) are Fcount value 16.364 < Ftable 2.712. This means that Self Esteem and Work Ethic together influence the Organizational Commitment. The results of the partial test (t test) on the Self Esteem variable (X1) are tcount value is 2.519 > ttable 1.987, meaning that the Self Esteem variable (X1) partially influences the organizational commitment variable (Y). For the work ethic variable (X2), the value obtained is tcount 4.570 > ttable 1.987, meaning that the work ethic variable (X2) partially influences the organizational commitment variable (Y).

Permasalahan sampah juga dihadapi oleh warga binaan Rutan Kelas IIB Bangkalan. Saat ini, penanganan sampah yang memadai belum dilakukan di tempat tersebut. Penyebab utama adalah rutan belum memiliki program khusus dan fasilitas pengolahan sampah organik.  Selain itu, warga binaan juga belum pernah mendapatkan edukasi yang cukup mengenai pengolah­an sampah menggunakan teknologi tepat guna. Untuk merespon permasa­lahan tersebut, warga binaan perlu diberikan pengetahuan dan keterampilan untuk mengelola sampah organik yaitu berupa eco enzyme. Tujuan dari pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah dapat mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh mitra yaitu permasalahan penumpukan sampah organik dari dapur berupa sisa sayuran dan buah-buahan. Eco enzyme dibuat dari sampah organik, molase, dan air dengan rasio 3:1:10. Bahan dicampur di dalam wadah plastik kapasitas 18 Liter dan dibiarkan mengalami fermentasi spontan selama 3 bulan hingga cairan eco enzyme bisa dipanen. Berdasarkan evaluasi kegiatan dengan diikuti sebanyak 20 peserta menyatakan puas terkait adanya kegiatan pengelolaan sampah organik menjadi eco enzyme. Tingkat pemahaman peserta terhadap topik mencapai 84%, yang menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar peserta dapat memahami prinsip-prinsip dan praktik produksi enzim ramah lingkungan Kegiatan mampu memberikan edukasi efektif kepada warga binaan di Rutan Kelas IIB Bangkalan. Dari sisi pengurangan sampah, 3 unit fermentor eco enzyme kapasitas 10 L berhasil memanfaatkan 9 kg sampah organik di rutan, sementara unit kapasitas 30 L bisa menggunakan sampah organik hingga 10 kg.

Ketahanan   pangan  untuk mencapai masyarakat yang sehat ditentukan oleh usaha di bidang pertanian. Petani  di kampung  Cibeureum  desa Sukanagalih, kecamatan Pacet   Kabupaten Cianjur Jawa Barat merupakan pemasok produk hortikultura untuk  di wilayah sekitarnya dan DKI Jakarta. Permasalahan yang dihadapi  petani adalah seringnya mengalami kerugian akibat ongkos produksi pertanian yang tinggi seperti untuk pembelian pupuk dan pestisida. Masalah lain adalah sistem pemasaran yang masih konven­sional dan kurang memperhatikan permintaan pasar. Jika masalah ini terus berlanjut dikhawatirkan akan menimbulkan dampak terhadap ekologi, keta­han­an pangan, ekonomi dan sosial yang lebih serius. Alternatif  penyelesain masalah adalah menerapkan model pertanian berkelanjutan melalui konser­vasi tanah dan air serta meningkatkan kemampuan e market­ing. Tujuan PKM adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan petani untuk menerap­kan konservasi tanah dan air serta pemasaran hasil pertanian  melalui WA group. Metode yang digunakan adalah mengadakan workshop mengenai upaya  konservasi air dan tanah, pemberdayaan petani untuk membuat 1 embung dan 3 kolam, serta workshop pemanfaatan  WA group  untuk promosi hasil pertanian. Capaian hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah  terwujudnya 1 embung dan 3 kolam sehingga  terpenuhinya kebutuhan air untuk 7 hektar lahan pertanian, 5 orang petani menerapkan konservasi tanah secara mandiri serta  peningkatan produksi tomat sebesar 100%  dan jumlah  masa panen dari 8 kali menjadi 16 kali. Pemanfaatan WA group untuk e marketing juga  dapat  dilakukan  oleh 6 orang  petani mitra.

COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE EFFICACY OF CERTAIN DRUGS AGAINST HELMINTHIASIS OF SHEEP IN THE AKTOBE REGION
Authors: Karmaliev R. S. , Sholokh K. Yu.
Published: May 2024

Gastrointestinal Strongylata are the most common among all helminths of sheep,
the invasion prevalence of which often reaches 90% or more. They cause significant
economic damage. Our research purpose is to study the epizootic situation on
gastrointestinal strongylatosis in IE Altyn, the Aktobe Region, and to determine the
anthelmintic efficacy, in a comparative aspect, of various drugs from different classes
of chemical compounds against gastrointestinal strongylatosis of sheep. The invasive
rate in animals was determined by the Fulleborn method. The number of helminth
eggs was calculated in 1 gram of faeces using a VIGIS camera. The gastrointestinal
Strongylata genus in sheep was identified based on the morphological structure of
infective larvae after being cultivated according to P. F. Polyakov. The anthelmintic
efficacy was determined by a standardized method of the "control test" type. The
sheep in IE Altyn were infected with five genera of gastrointestinal strongylates:
Nematodirus spр., Ostertagia spр., Cooperia spр., Haemonchus spр., and
Trichostrongylus spр. The prevalence in the sheep of gastrointestinal strongylates was
87.7% in average in IE Altyn, and the invasion intensity was 54.3±4.6 eggs/g. The
anthelmintic efficacy of Alvet-suspension at a dose of 5 mg/kg, ivermek, 0.2 mg/kg,
and levamisole, 7.5 mg/kg, was determined by the AS against strongylatosis of the
digestive tract of sheep. Ivermek showed the greatest efficiency.

Published: May 2024

Ixodid ticks were collected from cattle in spring-summer of 2021 and 2022 in the
central (Zimovnikovsky District) and north-eastern part (Morozovsky District) of
the Rostov Region. Three species of ixodid ticks were identified in the Morozovsky
District, and 7 species and 1 subspecies belonging to two genera, Rhipicephalus and
Нyalomma, were identified in the Zimovnikovsky District. Three species of threehost pasture ticks were identified as the genus Rhipicephalus, namely, R. rossicus,
R. sanguineus and R. pumilio, and four species of ixodids as the genus Hyalomma,
namely, one-host H. scupense, two-host H. plumbeum and H. detritum, and threehost H. asiaticum, as well as subspecies H. plumbeum plumbeum. In the central part
of the Rostov Region, the pasture tick R. rossicus predominated in number. The
subdominant species were H. plumbeum and R. sanguineus. The species recorded
as small in numbers were R. pumilio, H. asiaticum H. detritum, and H. scupense, as
well as subspecies H. plumbeum plumbeum. R. rossicus dominated in numbers in the
north-eastern part of the Region as in the Zimovnikovsky District. The species H.
scupense occupied a subdominant position, and R. sanguineus was recorded as small
in numbers.
IDENTIFICATION OF FMRFamide-LIKE NEUROPEPTIDES IN TREMATODES ACROLICHANUS AURICULATUS
Authors: Kreshchenko N. D. , Terenina N. B.
Published: May 2024

For the first time, using the immunocytochemical analysis and confocal laser scanning
microscopy, we studied the nervous system structure including FMRFamideimmunopositive (FMRFa-ip) nerve elements in trematode Acrolichanus auriculatus
(Digenea, Allocreadiidae), an intestinal parasite of sturgeons. The study results
revealed FMRFamide staining in the central parts of the nervous system of worms:
in neurons and neurites of the cephalic ganglia, cerebral commissure, and three
pairs of longitudinal nerve cords. The staining intensity was higher in nerve fibers
as compared to the bodies of FMRFa-ip neurons. At the periphery of FMRFaip, neural elements were found in neurons and fibers that innervated the oral and
ventral suckers, pharynx and esophagus. In the area where the distal parts of the
reproductive system were located, near the gonopore, three FMRFa-ip neurons and
a network of nerve fibers were visible. FMRFa-ip structures were identified around
the excretory pore. The localization of FMRFa-ip nerve elements innervating the
attachment organs and parts of the digestive, reproductive and excretory systems
in A. auriculatus suggests their role in attachment to the host, and functioning of
such organs and systems in trematodes, probably through the regulation of their
musculature.
