Cognitive and pragmatic aspect of transport neologisms in English discourse
Authors: Катермина В.В.
Published: February 2024

Актуальность исследования заключается в непрерывном расширении корпуса англоязычной неологической лексики, перманентным интересом лингвистов к данной, наиболее востребованной части неологического англоязычного дискурса, необходимостью научной интерпретации отображения коллективного опыта в анализируемом пласте лексики. Цель статьи – анализ когнитивных и прагматических особенностей транспортных неологизмов англоязычного дискурса для выявления в их дефинициях особенностей менталитета создателей данных неологизмов. Методологической базой исследования послужили работы ученых, анализировавших семантический и когнитивно-прагматический потенциал новой лексики. Практическим материалом послужили неологизмы англоязычного дискурса, отобранные при помощи метода сплошной выборки из электронных неографических источников (Cambridge Dictionaries Online и Urban Dictionary). Анализ транспортных неологических единиц в английском языке с точки зрения когнитивного и прагматического аспектов позволил выделить новые виды номинирования транспортных средств, людей, их увлечений и хобби, видов спорта, а также их связь с концепцией «умного города» как части урбанистического дискурса.

The relevance of the study is ensured by the continuous expansion of the corpus of English neological vocabulary, the permanent interest of linguists in the most demanded part of the neological English discourse, the need for scientific interpretation of the collective experience in the analyzed layer of vocabulary. The aim of the article is to analyze cognitive and pragmatic features of transport neologisms in English discourse to identify in their definitions the mentality features of the creators of these neologisms. The works of Russian and foreign scholars who analyzed the semantic and cognitive-pragmatic potential of the new vocabulary constitute the methodological basis of the study. The practical material was taken from electronic neographic sources using the continuous sampling method (Cambridge Dictionaries Online and Urban Dictionary). The analysis of transport neological units in the English language from the point of view of cognitive and pragmatic aspects allowed us to identify new types of nomination for vehicles, people, their hobbies, sports, as well as their connection with the concept of a “smart city” as a part of urban discourse.
Optimization of Reaction Conducting Efficiency by using the Potential of Column Catalytic Reactor
Authors: E Katsman
Published: February 2024

The paper intends for art of running heterogeneous-catalytic chemical reactions with high efficiency using column catalytic reactor with fixed catalyst layer. Described are potential possibilities of this undervalued apparatus to satisfy conditions for selective running of first step in multistep irreversible or reversible reactions in liquid-gas/vapor flow. Minor changes of working regime and construction of the apparatus discussed with the aim to increase the indexes. The idea of these changes is to suppress side reaction steps using due space localization and segregation of reaction participants. As a result, the needed reagents only have possibility for good contact with catalyst and each other. These features may straightly relate to reactionrectification, but realizes much cheaper. The examples chosen for demonstration are Ipatieff’s alkylation of benzene with propylene on “solid acid” and so called “selective hydrogenation” of acetylenes and conjugated dienes.

The coagulation system has gained significant interest in the recent past, especially in patients diagnosed with renal failure, as they are susceptible to significant comorbidity that requires anticoagulation. Research indicates that patients diagnosed with renal failure are at an increased risk of developing complications associated with coagulation abnormalities. Renal failure patients experience excessive bleeding even on new anticoagulants due to pharmacokinetic profile changes of the compounds. However, even without anticoagulants, the coagulation systems in patients with renal failure are profoundly changed, leading to significant morbidity and mortality in such patients. The underlying reasons for such problems involve the changes in the interaction of coagulation system components such as the platelets, coagulation cascade, and the vessel wall in the metabolic conditions of renal pathology. One meaningful way of evaluating the coagulation status of patients diagnosed with renal failure is through prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) blood tests. The two laboratory tests are used to evaluate coagulation disorders where the PT test measures the time it takes for blood to clot in response to prothrombin, a clotting factor, activation, and the PTT test measures the time it takes for blood to clot in response to clotting factor activation. This study evaluated PT and PTT levels of renal failure patients to determine their relationship with the disease’s severity and prognosis. The study was conducted as a collaboration study between PSAU and KELANA Association. Data were collected from 20 samples, and statistical analysis was done using the SPSS software version 2.0. The research findings indicated insignificant statistical differences between PT levels of renal failure patients and controls, while PTT levels in males significantly differed between patients and the controls. The study indicates that PTT levels can be used to indicate coagulation abnormalities in male patients diagnosed with renal failure.

Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii) is an intracellular protozoon that causes toxoplasmosis in one-third of the world's population. During pregnancy, the prevalence of toxoplasmosis rises during the second and third trimesters causing abortion and a mild mononucleosis-like syndrome. Normally, progesterone rises during pregnancy, but in the case of toxoplasmosis, the body raises prolactin to inhibit T. gondii. The present study investigated the relationship between Toxoplasma gondii infection (toxoplasmosis) and the concentration of both prolactin and progesterone in infected pregnant women. A systematic review approach was conducted to research the aim of this study. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched using the following keywords “Toxoplasma gondii” or “T.gondii” AND “protozoon” OR “toxoplasmosis” OR “animals” OR “prolactin” OR “progesterone.” Only primary studies were included, whereas reviews and non-experimental studies were excluded. Six studies met the inclusion criteria and were, therefore, reviewed in the present study. The six studies showed a reverse relationship between prolactin and progesterone, such that if one increases the other drops. Furthermore, Toxoplasmosis increased progesterone levels, which results in the suppression of prolactin levels. Thus, toxoplasmosis-induced progesterone secretion has an antagonistic effect on prolactin levels. Since prolactin strongly elicits innate and adaptive immune responses, toxoplasmosis-induced progesterone release dampens the immune response of the host and enhances susceptibility to severe toxoplasmosis.

Published: February 2024

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity, let $\I (R)$ be the set of all
ideals of $R$ and $\delta : \I (R)\rightarrow\I (R) $ be a function. Then $\delta$ is called an expansion function of ideals of $R$ if whenever $L, I, J$ are ideals of $R$ with $J \subseteq I$, we have $L \subseteq\delta(L)$ and $\delta(J)\subseteq\delta(I)$. In this paper, we present the concept of $\dt$-ideals in commutative rings. A proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is called a $\dt$-ideal if whenever $a$, $b$ $\in R$ with $ab\in I$ and $a\notin \delta (0)$, we have $b\in I$.
Our purpose is to extend the concept of $n$-ideals to $\dt$-ideals of commutative
rings. Then we investigate the basic properties of $\dt$-ideals and also, we
give many examples about $\dt$-ideals.
Idempotents and zero divisors in commutative algebras satisfying an identity of degree four
Authors: Arenas Manuel , Correa Ivan , Hentzel Irvin Roy , Labra Alicia
Published: February 2024

We study commutative algebras satisfying the identity
$ ((wx)y)z+((wy)z)x+((wz)x)y-((wy)x)z- ((wx)z)y-((wz)y)x = 0. $ We assume
characteristic of the field $\neq 2,3.$ We prove that given any $\lambda \in F,$ there exists a commutative algebra with idempotent $e,$ which satisfies the identity, and has $\lambda $ as an eigen value of the multiplication operator $L_e$. For algebras with idempotent, the containment relations for the product of the eigen spaces are not as precise as they are for Jordan or power-associative algebras. A great part of this paper is calculating these containment relations.

Published: February 2024

O zolpidem é um hipnótico não benzodiazepínico que age na subunidade α1 dos receptores GABA-A. Apesar da sua eficácia para tratamento da insônia inicial e de manutenção é um composto associado ao risco de abuso e dependência, com relatos de casos na literatura científica desde a década de 90- logo após a sua aprovação e comercialização. Infelizmente, desde a pandemia COVID-19, houve um aumento alarmante das vendas e do uso indiscriminado do hipnótico. Segundo a Portaria SVS/MS n.º 344/98, o zolpidem faz parte da Lista “B1”- sujeitas a Notificação de Receita "B"; mas que desde a resolução de 2002 passou a ser fornecida mediante receita de controle especial duas vias para doses de até 10 mg. De acordo com a breve pesquisa realizada neste artigo, parece existir fundamentos que apoiam a sugestão de reavaliação da dispensação do zolpidem somente via receita “B” independente da dose, como tentativa de medida de controle de acesso ao indutor do sono e dos impactos associados. No entanto, é necessário um levantamento vasto na literatura à luz do rigor científico para ratificar essa proposta de alteração na prescrição.
Modern phraseology of the English language: the world of fantasies, dreams and hallucination
Authors: Belozerova Ekaterina Yurievna , Ginzburg Olga Vladimirovna
Published: February 2024

The article examines phraseological units of modern English from the perspective of expressing the meaning of dreaming, fantasizing and making things up. Examples of the use of phraseological units from modern English dictionaries served as empirical material. The relevance of the study is due to the emergence of a secondary nominative meaning for the word hallucinate for the purpose of further analysis of phraseological units and their possible similarity in meaning. The object of study in the article is phraseological units used in the examples presented in dictionaries to correlate the original meaning of the verb hallucinate with the presented phraseological units. The subject of the study is the communicative and pragmatic functions of the received phraseological units to describe dreams, fantasies and inventions in a state of conscious and unconscious. The purpose of the work is to study and analyze the received phraseological units. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the quality of the material (modern phraseology and vocabulary of the English language), as well as the analysis of the relationship between the meaning of the word hallucinate and the presented phraseological units. The main research method is an inductive approach to the analysis of empirical material, in which conclusions are based on the analysis of specific phraseological units. To identify derivational transformations in the structural-semantic organization of phraseological units, the work uses structural-semantic analysis. The result of the analysis reveals a number of phraseological units, the meaning of which does not correspond to the original meaning of the word hallucinate. However, one phraseological unit has been identified which can be considered as a synonym for the word hallucinate. This study contributes to the development of the study of phraseology of English, its enrichment, as well as its understanding in a broad approach.

Published: February 2024

This research’s aims are 1. analyze the Tanah Luwu people's inheritance distribution, 2. analyze the views of Gender Equality on how to distribute the inheritance of the Tanah Luwu Tribe community, 3. analyze the model for developing gender equality in the inheritance distribution system of the Tanah Luwu people. This study uses an explorative-qualitative research method that describes the development model of gender equality studies in the distribution of inheritance for the people of Tanah Luwu by studying inheritance cases enforced concerning parts and kinship systems. The study shows that the people of the Tanah Luwu tribe generally adhere to Islam; however, they still highly respect the customs passed down from generation to generation to their families, including in inheritance. Therefore, when asked about the inheritance laws that apply, they answer Islamic inheritance laws. However, they use inheritance laws according to their wishes or the appointing system and consider it fair. Gender equality views the inheritance distribution of the people of Tanah Luwu as unfair; thus, there is concern among the heirs. Tension can lead to conflicts or disputes. The gender equality development model is the conflict management and conflict transformation approach.
A Chance to Defend Regional Heads in The Procedure of Regional Head Dismissal as A Manifestation of The Proportionality Principle

Published: February 2024

The existence of regional autonomy in Indonesia is implemented through regional leaders who have the authority to run local government. When carrying out their duties, regional leaders are supervised by other state institutions as a form of checks and balances in government power. Hence, the procedure to dismiss regional leaders regulates to involve the Regional People's Representative Assembly, the Supreme Court, and the President through the Minister of Home Affairs as a form of right to dismiss. However, the existence of the proportionality principle in the procedure to dismiss regional leaders, through the right given to regional leaders to defend themselves, has yet to be regulated in the law. This article talks about two things: first, the procedure to dismiss regional leaders, and second, the legal consequences and the position of a chance to summon regional leaders to explain and defend themselves in the procedure to dismiss regional leaders. This article aims to find the importance of proportionality principles in the procedure to dismiss regional leaders. The method used in this article is legal research, with statutes, conceptual, and case approaches. The results of this research show that although the procedure to dismiss regional leaders has been regulated in law, applying the proportionality principle only exists in jurisprudences. Hence, an ius constituendum is needed to determine legal consequences and certainty regarding the procedure to dismiss regional leaders.
Gender Mainstreaming through Guarantees of Legal Protection and Access to Justice for Women and Children in Religious Court

Published: February 2024

Barriers to realizing accessibility for women and children in religious courts are still quite significant. Even after five years have passed since Supreme Court Regulation Number 3 of 2017 on Guidelines for Trying Women’s Cases in Conflict with the Law was published. The initial suspicion is that this is still an unresolved problem because law enforcement’s sensitivity to the needs of women and children has yet to be developed. Gender mainstreaming is then encouraged to overcome this. The problem that is the focus of discussion in this research is how to increase the accessibility of justice for women and children in religious courts. The aim is to elaborate and analyze the problem of how to increase the accessibility of justice for women and children in religious courts. The research method used is normative juridical, the research specification is descriptive analysis, and the data collection technique is library research. The research results show that most of the existing obstacles in access to justice and law for women and children after divorce still exist and still need to be resolved. The Supreme Court, as the supervisor of religious courts, has issued several regulations to overcome this problem. In fact, after several of these regulations were issued, difficulties with access to justice continued to occur, primarily related to the implementation of decisions/ executions. Gender mainstreaming by judges and religious court officials is needed to narrow the gap in access to justice and law for women and children after divorce. The urgency is because women and children are vulnerable parties, have limitations, and have extensive obstacles in accessing justice in court. Hence, they require support for convenience, priority access, simplification of business processes, and additional authority for judges in their positions (e.g., officio) when handling cases of women and children.

Published: February 2024

The development of a nation relies on technological advancements and innovations. It is evident in the progress of countries such as the USA, China, and Russia, which are considered developed nations due to the contributions of their scientists and technicians. In contrast, Nigeria and many other African countries are categorized as developing nations primarily due to the slow pace of innovation. Despite this, the legal process of obtaining protection or a patent for inventions poses a significant challenge for scientists and technicians in Nigeria. In this regard, the study employs a hybrid research method to examine the issues and challenges related to the protection of inventions in Nigeria. A descriptive and analytical approach is used to analyze the data by distributing 253 questionnaires to respondents across various geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The findings reveal a limited number of scientists and technicians involved in technological innovation, and there are obstacles to obtaining patents or protection for inventions in Nigeria. These challenges often deter scientists and technicians from investing more effort in technological innovation. Therefore, it recommended and concluded that, for practical and improved technological innovation in Nigeria, the government should create an enabling environment and review the existing legal framework for obtaining patents over inventions.

Published: February 2024

This article explores the values contained in traditional children's stories told in the storytelling tradition. Reports have positive values to shape character in children, and the rule of storytelling creates emotional closeness. This research uses qualitative and descriptive methods from Minangkabau children's stories. The story is taken from the documentation collected from oral reports and then written down. Conducting an analysis involves literature studies that focus on and prioritize the values embedded in a story. Preschool and kindergarten children then listen to the selected stories. When telling stories, the teacher emphasizes and adds a message at the end of each level.

Purpose: The gender pay gap in South Africa has greatly reduced since the implementation of the Employment Equity Act in 1998. However, there is still a pay gap that cannot be sufficiently explained and addressed by government leaders and scholars. Scholars, policymakers, the radical left, and feminists have carefully highlighted and addressed what is considered to be the major causes, such as segregation of women, women's stereotypes, marginalization of women, wage penalties due to time away from work, child nurturing responsibilities given to women, and inequality in salaries and remunerations. However, the World Bank reported that from 2007 on, the gender pay gap in South Africa was no longer showing any sign of reduction. It was stagnant and thereafter oscillating. As such the purpose of this research is to investigate the causes of the stagnation and the oscillation, and to provide recommendations.
 
Theoretical Framework: This research used multivariate analysis theory to make further contributions on the causes of gender pay inequality in South Africa in order to address the stagnation and oscillation of the existing pay gap.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method used is qualitative approach. The research design comprises men and women who are already in the work industry in both private and public sector.
 
Findings: This research found that gender pay gap in South Africa is caused by women’s family-career crisis as a main contributor, followed by interests and personality traits, equality of opportunity and career selection.
 
Research Implications: This research paper gives light to further research in Women’s family-career crisis as it seems to be the major contributor to gender pay gap in South Africa. The assessment of how impactful family-career crisis is on gender pay gap is also essential in order to understand the magnitude of it on gender pay gap in South Africa.
 
Originality/Value: This research paper found significant causes of gender pay gap such as ‘family career-crisis’ that shows to heavily contribute to the gender pay in South Africa. This might further give clarity to the governments on the existence of gender pay gap. Moreover this research may help in redefining the government policies on the approach of gender pay gap.
