How Intellectual Capital is Made?
Authors: Porancea-Răulea Andreea Simina
Published: May 2021

Worldwide organizations are compelled by global competition to achieve notable, inimitable results. In order to achieve this organizations must differentiate themselves from their competitors by using intangible resources that can get the long-term competitive advantage. This can be accomplished by identifying and managing the important elements of performance more effectively and efficiently. Consequently, organizations have to be aware and understand the connection between valuing intellectual capital and their performance. This article enhances the relationship between intellectual capital indicators and the measures to be taken in order to become strong innovators at european level. By identifying the key indicators taken into consideration at European level an national analysis was made in order to identify the weak points that made a gap between Romania and the other european countries.

Authors: Efeoglu Gulumser , Schroeder Christoph
Published: May 2021

L3 acquisition has begun to attract the attention of many scholars in recent years. Heritage contexts are especially fruitful areas to understand how linguistic and nonlinguistic mechanisms interact with one another. The current study focuses on L3 English acquisition of object pronouns with L1 Turkish, L2 German speakers. We seek to find out whether the speakers could produce object pronouns accurately, whether L3 English proficiency has any effects on their acquisition, and finally, whether all object pronouns are acquired in the same way. Data for this study come from a corpus consisting of written and oral productions of 167 participants, who were students in four distinct grades, namely 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th graders at different schools in Berlin, Germany. The results reveal that participants were highly meticulous in their object pronoun use. Also, no clear L1 effect was observed, while L2 impact is implied. Lastly, proficiency and linguistic features are noted as significant factors that have an impact on L3 acquisition.
Discourse Analysis of External Crisis Communication in Vinted: Lithuanian and Germany Case
Authors: Garnytė Greta
Published: May 2021

Quite many companies or organisations experience smaller or larger crises for an abundance of various reasons and yet a situation is not immediately named a crisis as such, even though the signs are rather clear. That was the case with the crisis communication of Vinted. The research aimed to analyse the external crisis communication in Vinted (as mother company in Lithuania) and Kleiderkreisel (as daughter company in Germany) for the topic is hardly analysed, especially linguistically. The material for crisis communication in Vinted was gathered from the articles in business news portal Verslo žinios (www.vz.lt) and the material for the analysis of crisis communication in Kleiderkreisel was gathered from the official Kleiderkreisel internet forum. It was noticed that the types of crises are different and because of that companies choose different ways for communication, meaning that where and how the company communicates with its community was influenced by the type of crisis itself. Communication of Vinted (statements in Lithuanian language) and Kleiderkreisel (statements in German language) was analysed and compared using the discourse analysis method which later led to recognition of different types of crises and the different crisis communication models that were applied. Due to the reason, that the data of Vinted covers 2016–2017 and the data of Kleiderkreisel covers 2014–2016, it allows to see the outcomes of both cases of crisis and further communication. In 2019 Vinted has received a new investment and became the first Unicorn in Baltic countries. Because the company grows further in the year 2020, it can be presumed that communication and managements strategies applied in the years of crisis were correct.
A Book Review: Language and Culture on the Margins: Global/Local Interactions S. Kroon, & J. Swanenberg (Eds.) (2019). Routledge
Authors: Mambetaliev Askar
Published: May 2021

The focus of this book, which is a collection of twelve studies, is sociolinguistic transformations in marginal contexts that are not usually covered by mainstream publications. The term ‘margin’ in these studies refers to smaller nations and communities located in the peripheries of global hubs. The book includes online margins as well, contemplating the impact of the internet and mobile devices on people’s lives, where standard programs and instruments employed in informal settings are often not applicable. The collection is published on time when the notion of margins and language needs rethinking and reinterpretation. The topics can be characterized as interdisciplinary, and as such the chapters are densely intertwined with both linguistic and social issues, including the impact of technology on the creation of language varieties, the effect of territorial administration on identity development, the role of media in spreading the languages of subcultures, the effect of mobile phones on the transformation of identities. The methods include linguistic landscaping, content analysis, interviews and conversations, and participant observation. Although some chapters employ a combination of several methods, most studies have used a dominant method to collect data. The editors have collected diverse topics of sociolinguistics in this book, which is a very helpful resource for educational institutions, where theories and methods of applied linguistics are a part of their curriculum. It is also a unique complementary literature useful for junior students of applied linguistics who are in the process of exploring research topics in less discussed contexts. The review combines both descriptive and critical approaches, and includes an overview of each case study and their research methods.
Translation Methods Applied to Approach the Incongruity of Terms in Polish and British Criminal Law
Authors: Kizińska Anna
Published: May 2021

The research analyses incongruent Polish and British criminal law terms. British terms are the names of legal institutions characteristic of three independent legal systems: of England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The Polish terms that have been discussed come from the Polish Criminal Code Act of 6 June 1997 (Journal of Laws 1997 No. 88 item 553). Moreover, they are legal terms pursuant to their interpretation by Morawski (1980, p. 187). The English equivalents under analysis have appeared in four Polish Criminal Code translations into English. The research aims at a verification of whether or not the classification of translation methods applied in the Polish-English translation of incongruent succession and family law terms (called civil law terms) (Kizińska, 2015, p. 175–178) encompasses translation methods used in the process of translation of incongruent law terms characteristic of criminal law into English. In the paper the translation method is interpreted according to the definition by Hejwowski (2004, p. 76). In the theoretical part of the paper the following linguistic phenomena have been presented: a term (by Zmarzer & Lukszyn, 2001, p. 9) and incongruity of terms (by Šarčević, 1989, p. 278). In the initial stage of the analysis the definitions of a given Polish term and its suggested equivalents have been compared. Next, the appearance of a given equivalent in the sources of British law texts as well as the English language has been checked to determine the translation methods used while forming a given equivalent. Finally, the list of translation methods applied has been drafted, to conclude, among other things, that the translation methods presented in the above-mentioned typology of translation methods applied in the translation of incongruent civil law terms from Polish into English are to be determined as exclusively primary or secondary.

Authors: Talaga Roma
Published: May 2021

Celem przedstawionego w artykule badania była analiza rozumienia teorii umysłu (ang. theory of mind, ToM) przez dzieci z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu (ASD) w oparciu o materiał nieliterowy, co pozwoliło na poznanie zakresu rozumienia komunikatów nieliteralnych. W badaniu uczestniczyło 16 uczniów z ASD w wieku od 10 do 16 lat, do których parami dobrano uczniów o rozwoju normatywnym, co pozwoliło na dokonanie porównania stopnia rozumienia znaczeń niedosłownych pomiędzy obiema grupami. Wyniki wykazały, iż u dzieci z ASD występują znaczne deficyty w rozumieniu komunikatów nieliteralnych prezentowanych na materiale nieliterowym, a tym samym trudności w rozumieniu teorii umysłu. Opisane badania sugerują konieczność prowadzenia dalszych poszukiwań badawczych w zakresie rozwoju teorii umysłu u dzieci z ASD, a także wdrażania praktycznych rozwiązań w celu wspomagania rozwoju tej tak ważnej społecznie kompetencji.
Spatial aspect of modern warfare: from traditional warfare to cyberwar
Authors: Balakleets Natalia Aleksandrovna
Published: May 2021

This author substantiates the thesis on the importance of spatial factors for conducting warfare. The article traces the evolution of warfare associated with the involvement of new territories and new types of spaces in the orbit of military activity. If the warfare of the past demonstrated a direct dependence on the geographical territory and the related “tensions” (C. von Clausewitz), the modern warfare are emancipated from the geographical shell of the Earth. The article explicates the factors that justify the need for arranging the new warfare spaces. Special attention is given to cyberspace, its structure, and conflicts unfolding therein. The scientific novelty of consists in the interpretation of cyberspace as an expected result of the spatial evolution of warfare. The conclusion is drawn that the emergence of cyberspace contributes to solution of the problem of information vagueness and creation of the stability zones for the military leaders, but at the same is a source of problems not less dangerous for the humanity. The cyberwar winner faces a tempting challenge of establishing global control over the territory of the plane using cyberweapon, or in most pessimistic scenario, its total destruction.

To the description of semiotic theory in the tradition of Chinese Linguistics
Authors: Chzhan Yui
Published: May 2021

The Russian scholars often associate semiotics with such names as Ferdinand De Saussure, Charles Morris, Roland Barthes, who wrote a wide variety of works and significantly contributed to the formation of semiotics. Therefore, the Russian science has sound understanding of semiotics in Europe. In Asian regions, namely in China, semiotics is also one of the most popular trends. This article gives special attention to the formation and development of semiotics in the modern Chinese academic environment for the purpose of revealing and clarifying the key periods of study of semiotic theory, trends and directions of semiotic research, as well as the main works written by the Chinese authors from the perspective of semiotics. The author's special contribution into this research consists in introduction to the Russian linguistic paradigm of the process of formation of semiotics as an independent scientific direction within the Chinese academic environment. Description is provided to the three key periods of development and advancement of semiotic theories in China. The main trends and directions of research in the modern academic environment are explored. The article features the works of the prominent Chinese linguists – Yaping Huang and Hua Meng, who implemented  the semiotic ideas into the study of ideographic writing. The article also examines the work of the renowned Chinese scholar Qian Guanlian, who studied the pragmalinguistic aspects from the perspective of semiotics, which allowed comprising a semiotic base of the communication theory and pragmatics, and thus made a significant contribution to further research of these trends.
Representation of the picture of the world in the Buryat national literature of the first third of the XX century
Authors: Sangadieva Erzhen Gendenovna , Amgalanova Mariya Viktorovna
Published: May 2021

In theoretical and methodological studies of national literatures, one of the fundamental problems is the analysis of the world picture. The article examines the national picture of the world in the works of Buryat writers of the first third of the XX century on the example of the works of B. Bradin (1878-1937) and P. Dambinov, who wrote under the pseudonym Solbone Tuya (1892-1938). The key concepts ("space" and "time"), images and poetic metaphors are identified and considered. Their representation in artistic creativity in the context of the birth of the national Buryat literature was due to their proximity to the all-Mongol culture, the specifics of ethnic culture, confessional views, peculiarities of consciousness and philosophical aspects of the problem of the world and man as a whole. В  Today, the literary heritage of the first writers of Buryatia is practically not represented in individual author's publications, especially those representatives of the literary art who were repressed and whose works were not published for a long time. The creative heritage of these authors is collected literally by crumbs, according to archival documents and other materials. The main methods of analyzing the poetic heritage of writers were axiological, semiotic and structural-semantic. The scientific novelty lies in the analysis of the national concept of the world in the work of the founders of Buryat literature as a unique phenomenon of national literature with pronounced ethno-cultural elements.
Model of the essential attributes of visual culture as the criteria for studying artifacts and design of new visual images
Authors: Kalina Natalia Dmitrievna
Published: May 2021

The object of this research is visual culture in the context of studying artifacts and design of new visual images. The subject of this research is the theoretical reflection on the essential attributed as the general characteristics of visual culture. The author compares the depiction of the artifacts of visual culture artifacts in postmodernism and constructivism. Postmodernism does not aim to build holistic images and reveal the content through visual form. Constructivism, in turn, structures holistic and aesthetically expressive forms of artifacts in unity with the content. The knowledge and meanings in visual artifacts are constructed via graphic spatial and artistic features. Special attention is given to the constructivist approach as a theoretical-methodological substantiation for studying the essential attributes of visual artifacts. Such approach allows the cultural entities to build semantic models by means of the general cultural geometric language in the dialectical synthesis of various forms, content, and conventional meanings. The artistic interpretations contribute to creation of the unique content. The constructivist approach includes the following methods: deconstructivism of conducting detailed analysis of the artifacts; constructivism of building new aesthetically expressive images. The result of this research lies in systematization of the essential attributes of visual culture for all forms and content. The novelty of consists in correspondence of the constructivist approach to the object and subject of the research, as well as in examination of the actual reality of the modern visual culture of digital technologies and new constructive methods of visualizing form and content in the images.

The productive power of rising China and national identities in South Korea and Thailand
Authors: Bukh Alexander
Published: May 2021

Drawing on the insights of the constructivist school approach, this
article joins the debate on the effects of rising China in Asia. The
existing scholarship devoted to no-material aspects of China’s rise
focused either on China’s ‘soft power’ initiatives or their reception by
certain audiences. In this article, rising China and its governance
model, are construed as a form of productive power, one that is expected
to bring about not only shifts in material relations and perceptions
but also transformations in the national identities of countries in the
region. This article focuses on South Korea and Thailand, two countries
with fundamentally different political systems but a similar pattern of
recent interactions with China. It analyzes the policymaking elites’
discourse and public attitudes and explores the productive effects of
China’s rise on national identities in the two countries. This article
argues that the impact of China’s rise on elites’ discourse has been
largely negligible with narratives on kinship and historical ties being
used by the elites mostly for instrumental reasons. At the same time,
this article suggests that the recent shifts in public attitudes towards
greater acceptance of authoritarian values observed in South Korea and
Thailand, may be indicative of the productive effect of rising China on
national identities in both countries

Over-expression of epithelial cell transforming 2 in human endometrial cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2021

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified epithelial cell transforming 2, encoded by ECT2, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. ECT2 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, in human endometrial cancer, primary tumor expression of ECT2 was correlated with overall survival in white patients with low mutational burden. ECT2 may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.
