Authors: Alawode Olubunmi Olanike , Mary Oladokun Yetunde Olasimbo
Published: March 2024

This paper analyses the implications of lockdown and eased lockdown on Nigerian households, using the Nigeria Covid-19 National Longitudinal Phone Survey (NLPS Baseline), which was released in June 2020 by the National Bureau of Statistics. Also, reviews of research articles, news updates and Covid-19 reports from NCDC website were used. Data were described using frequency counts, percentages and chart. Nigerian households (100%) were aware of the pandemic. To reduce the spread of coronavirus infection, Nigerian Government advised that citizens should stay at home. Majority of households (97.4%) engaged in hand washing and stayed at home (90.6%). The lockdown (mid-March to June) had implications on food availability (less than 50.0% of households had access to food items); 48.1% were able to buy cleaning supplies; 40.9% and 25.3% had access to medicine and medical treatment, respectively; and 48.6% had children who engaged in education activities. Number of confirmed cases increased from an average of 138 in March to 10,857 in August, and the differences in monthly averages increased from 1,699 in April to 7,293 in June, but a difference of -1,699 in July, and further sharp difference of -6,600 in August. There was an increase in the number of deaths from 2 in March to 520 in July, but decreased to 493 in August; the difference increased from 54 in March to 175 in April, but reduced to 164 and 125 in July and August, with a desirable difference of -27 in August. Average number of discharged cases increased from 9 in March to 29,122 in August, However, during the period of eased lockdown (July and August), businesses have started opening up in phases and there was gradual reopening of schools. Continuous awareness on observing safety protocols is necessary to finally flatten the curve of Covid-19 infection.

Subject and Purpose. The effect of abnormally strong interaction of electromagnetic radiation with fine conductive fibers is сonsidered. Metal, semiconductor, or graphite fibers can heavily absorb electromagnetic radiation provided the fiber diameter is several hundred times smaller than the radiation wavelength. For the most effective transfer of radiation energy, a proper ratio of the radiation wavelength, fiber refractive index, and fiber diameter is sought. Methods and Methodology. The diffraction problem of a cylinder whose diameter is much smaller than the incident wavelength is treated. The formulas to compute the radiation absorption efficiency have a series appearance. The series coefficients depend on the diameter of the cylinder, its refractive index, and the wavelength. With the cylinder diameter much smaller than the wavelength, these coefficients can be series expanded in the small parameter, and it should suffice to take into account only the first term. The findings are experimentally verified by measurements of the microwave radiation energy transmitted to a fine graphite fiber. Results. Relationships have been determined of the fiber diameter, fiber conductivity, and wavelength when the effect of the electromagnetic radiation absorption was at its strongest. The experiment showed that even unfocused, an 8 mm wave beam transmitted more than 10% of the energy to a graphite fiber of a 12 μm diameter. The size of the fiber area struck by the beam was 300 times smaller than the beam cross-section. Conclusions. Conductive fibers of a cross-sectional diameter much smaller than the incident radiation wavelength strongly absorb this radiation. The absorption is at its strongest when the radiation wavelength in the fiber substance is approximately 10 times larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the fiber. The effect of the anomalously strong absorption of electromagnetic radiation can be used to transfer the electromagnetic radiation energy to fine-fiber targets no matter whether the radiation beam is focused or not. Also, this effect can be of use for making protective screens in the microwave region.
Sociolinguistic phenomena in contemporary Ukrainian dictionaries
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Braha Iryna
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the problem of interaction between sociolinguistics and lexicography focusing on the relationships between sociolinguistics and the Ukrainian academic lexicography, sociolinguistics and Ukrainian folk lexicography, and briefly considering the problem of interaction between academic and folk lexicography. Sociolingual information, its perception and awareness have a significant impact on the Ukrainian academic lexicography, which is directly revealed in the macro- and microstructure of dictionaries and their metalanguage. The analysis of the ideologically and socially marked lexicon demonstrates the capabilities of academic lexicography to record and adequately interpret linguistic units, taking into account the rapid changes in the sociocultural space of Ukraine and the world, and the facts of the social biography of speakers. The use of sociolinguistic methods contributes to the formation of a scientifically balanced vocabulary register, ensures the collection of various empirical material capable of reflecting the richness and diversity of the Ukrainian vernacular. Observations of the folk lexicographic practice exercised by Facebook users tells us they resort to lexicography unconsciously, directly responding to events in the socio-political, economic and spiritual life of society. However, behind the external “carnival” of folk lexicography lies an effective tool ordinary Facebook users successfully use in the information war against the Russian aggressor. For a comprehensive study of the linguistic situation and language policy in Ukraine, the value orientations of Ukrainian society, Ukrainian-Russian bilingualism, diglossia, language competence, language variation, etc. both materials from academic and folk lexicography can be used, but it is quite clear that the objectivity and impartiality of the results obtained directly depend on how the dictionaries are compiled – in a scientifically sound, methodologically balanced manner or in a chaotic, unsystematic and emotional way. Keywords: Ukrainian sociolinguistics, academic lexicography, folk lexicography, ideologically marked vocabulary, socially marked vocabulary.
Active processes in the modern Ukrainian political lexicon
Authors:   Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Matkovska Oksana
Published: March 2024

The article examines centripetal-centrifugal processes in the modern Ukrainian political lexicon during 2019–2023. Both passivization and activation of certain groups of socio-political vocabulary belonging to STATE – ARMY – SOCIETY concepts have been established. To describe the studied material, the technique of identifying the functional potential of the nomination resource, i.e. the ability of the new vocabulary to create lexical associations: word-forming nests and series, synonymous series, antonymic oppositions, the spectrum of word combinations (paradigmatic, syntagmatic and epidigmatic (derivative) relations in the text) have been used. To describe the selected vocabulary the following criteria have been applied: 1) semantic volume of the lexeme in the political text compared to the lexicographic definition, 2) functional load, 3) pragmatic load of the lexical unit in the text. It is concluded that political life in Ukraine in recent years has been significantly affected by the war, especially full-scale war. The war circumstances have changed the usual political rhetoric, the subject matter of texts and speeches on political topics and the language of such texts and speeches. The topics of inter-party struggle and pre-election battles have become irrelevant and this part of the lexicon has become passive, at least as long as the war continues and elections are not being held. Instead, patriotic and unifying rhetoric, military vocabulary in texts aimed at the Ukrainian audience as well as vocabulary that shows the struggle of Ukrainians for European values aimed at the international audience have become increasingly active. Keywords: the language of politics, political vocabulary, socio-political vocabulary, dynamics, functional potential of the nomination resource, pragmatic potential of the word.

Published: March 2024

Design and testing of real materials is a costly process and usually requires some specific equipment. To alleviate this task numerical methods can be leveraged. In this work we show possible modelling technique for closed-cell material structure using Weaire–Phelan unit cells. As an example existing aluminum structures were used and modelled parametrically, allowing to establish different geometrical models for different applications. Numerical simulations for compression was also done on the developed models to reveal the material response. The influence on the cell wall thickness and the friction between the material and the compression plate was investigated. It was found that the friction coefficient has no significant effect on the material response, except in the case where bonded connection was assumed. It was also demonstrated that material response and the porosity controlled by cell wall thickness have an approximately linear relationship with each other. This method proved to be a flexible and alternative solution of real laboratory tests and targeted to reduce costs of material design.

Purpose. It is to determine the functions of the temperature of the coolant on the time of heating of the cooling system of the small internal combustion engine in two variants – with a coolant pump with a constant mechanical drive, and with an electrical driven pump.

Research methods. Methods of analysis of scientific literature and theoretical generalization, methods of statistical analysis, synthesis, observation, method of project development have been used. The graphs were treated with the least squares with the finding a polynomial function of temperature from time. The accuracy of the results is evaluated by the correlation index R2.

Results. Modern internal combustion engines cooling systems, including the direct driven coolant pump, are considered. The dependence of the engine heating temperature on the time of its operation with a mechanical drive of the pump and a drive from the electric motor was found. Analysis of cooling systems of the modern internal combustion engine with a direct drive of the coolant pump and with a controlled electric drive was carried out.

Scientific novelty. Analysis of the cooling system of the car gasoline engine showed their dependence on the time of heating of the engine during cold start. It is established that engine with electrical driven pump has been found to reduce the heating time, compared to the engine with a mechanical drive of the pump, for one and a half minutes. This provides fuel savings 3 %, at the temperature of the pump motor switching on 130 °C. It is established that the use of the electric driven pump reduces its operation time by almost 50 %.

Practical value. The functions of the coolant temperature dependence on the time of heating of the gasoline engine with the direct driven coolant pump and with the electrical driven pump are determined. This makes it possible to modernize the cooling system of small internal combustion engines.

CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM ALLOYS WHEN MODIFIED WITH POWDER COMPOSITIONS
Authors: Davidyuk A.
Published: March 2024

Purpose. To determine the effect of modification with powder compositions on the structure and mechanical properties of cast and deformed aluminium alloys.
Research methods. Metallographic analysis, stereometric metallography, testing of strength and plastic properties of cast alloys AL4, AL4C of the Al-Si system and deformed alloys 1545 of the Al-Mg-Sc system, 2219 of the Al-Cu-Mn system in their original and modified state.
Results. Meltings of AL4, AL4C, 1545, 2219 alloys were carried out in the initial state and with melt treatment with a complex nano-disperse modifier of magnesium silicide Mg2Si and silicon carbide SiC with a particle size of  50...100 nm. The optimal content of Mg2Si+SiC (0.10%) for increasing σ0.2 of aluminium alloys was determined. A 1.6-fold reduction in the grain structure of cast alloys was achieved. The dependence of the particle size and the amount of the modifier on the mechanical properties of the alloys was established. In industrial experiments, the most effective particle size of Mg2Si+SiC was established for increasing σ0.2 of AL4, AL4C alloy from 115 to 260 MPa in the as-cast state. The increase in the strength properties of the modified alloys is 44 % compared to the original state.
Scientific novelty. Further development, insight into the influence of melt modification on the parameters of the structure and properties of aluminium alloys was obtained. The use of nanodispersed complex modifier Mg2Si+SiС with a particle size of 50...100 nm is proposed. It has been confirmed that the use of complex nanodisperse modifiers allows you to actively influence the structure and mechanical properties of aluminium alloys.
Practical value. It has been experimentally proven that the rational amount of the introduced complex modifier is 0.10% of the mass of the melt. A significant grinding of the grain structure and an increase in the strength properties of cast and deformed aluminium alloys were achieved as a result of the modification.

We study how the presence of promotion competition in the labor market affects household specialization patterns. By embedding a promotion tournament model in a household setting, we show that specialization can emerge as a consequence of competitive work incentives. This specialization outcome, in which only one spouse invests heavily in his or her career, can be welfare superior to a situation in which both spouses invest equally in their careers. The reason is that household specialization reduces the intensity of competitionand provides households with consumption smoothing. The specialization result is obtained in a setting where spouses are equally competitive in the labor market and there is no household production. It is also robust to several modifications of the model, such as varying the number of households, two spouses competing for promotion in the same workplace, and the inclusion of household production.
Quantification Contrasts of tvoriti – sъtvoriti Verbs and Their Synonyms in Old East Slavic Sources (Based on the “Manuscript” Historical Corpus)
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Zholobov Oleg
Published: March 2024

The article presents the first attempt to describe the quantification contrasts of verbs belonging to lexical series dělati – sъdělati, dějati – sъdějati, tvoriti – sъtvoriti. Quantification is understood as a quantitative measurement of qualitative characteristics, namely grammatical parameters of lexical units. The research is based on the "Manuscript" historical corpus. For the analysis, the author selects the Gospels and Chronicles subcorpora; birchbark letters data are also involved. The author discovers that the named verb pairs express the aspectual meaning as long as they are represented by identical lexical meanings. The entire lexical range is related by synonymy. Secondary imperfectivation led to the series expansion with three more lexemes: sъdělovati, sъděvati, sъtvarjati. The quantification results demonstrate a group of contrasting correlations: a quantitative predominance of the verb pair tvoriti – sъtvoriti; a larger quantitative weight of the perfective verb, unlike the other two verb pairs; a noticeable quantitative predominance of Present forms, primarily from imperfective verbs in the Gospels; a significant predominance of perfective Aorist forms, and so on. The contrasting relations reveal the discursive features of texts, as well as the special role of the tvoriti – sъtvoriti verbs in expressing predication and substitution. The replacement of the tvoriti verb with the dělati verb is first noticed in the Suzdal Chronicle.
Metaphorical Representation of Visual Perception in the Modern Russian Language (“Movement – Perception” Model)
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Safonova Irina
Published: March 2024

The article focuses on metaphorical representation of the process of visual perception in the language. The verbal-nominal word groups formed by the verbs with the semantics of movement and the nouns glaz (eye) / vzgljad (glance) / vzor (gaze) constitute the object of the study. The research material was selected from the lexicographic sources and the Russian National Corpus, which reflect both the current state of the language system and the functioning of verbal-nominal word groups. The study was carried out within a comprehensive approach that was based on a descriptive method united with contextual, stylistic, and component analysis procedures. The correspondence between the processes of movement and visual perception is verified as enabling the usage of the verbs with the direct meaning of movement in space for metaphorical reflection of perception in the language. The characteristics of visual perception process are determined. They are explicitly represented in the verbs with non-perceptual semantics and the nouns that denote realia associated with perception. The functional potential of the studied combinations is described. An assumption has been made about the factors that determined their appearance in the language and the use in the texts with certain stylistic reference. The results obtained are significant for further study of the verbal metaphor in general and the metaphorical representation of perception in the language in particular.
Forced Migration from Ukraine during the Russian-Ukrainian War: impact on the EU and Ukraine
Authors:   National University of Ostroh Academy, Atamanenko Alla , Avhustiuk Mariia ,   National University of Ostroh Academy
Published: March 2024

The full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, which was accompanied by the violation of humanitarian law and the demolition of civilian infrastructure, has led to the emergence of forced migration. Millions of people left the country within a short period. On March 4, the EU Temporary Protection Directive was reactivated in response to the unprecedented flow of migrants from Ukraine. EU countries have opened their borders to migrants from Ukraine, providing them with shelter and assistance. Poland and its neighbouring states, such as Romania, Moldova, Hungary, as well as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Austria, received the highest quantity of migrants. The wave of migration has had a noticeable influence on the functioning of labour markets and employment, even in those regions of Ukraine which have not been exposed to military activity. Comprehensive studies show that external migration, among other factors, will significantly affect the demographic situation in Ukraine due to the increase in the number of people who do not plan to return from abroad. A key factor in the crisis is the fact that the majority of these people is youth of employable age and children. Besides, educational migration from Ukraine to EU countries has also increased significantly. The influx of immigrants who have established themselves in the nations of the European Union have significantly impacted the labour markets of these countries, putting a considerable strain on the public funds of the host countries. The question of Ukrainian immigrants’ ability to engage in activities such as schooling (including access to educational opportunities for children), employment, residence, and healthcare in both the immediate and long-term future is coming to the fore. Ukrainian and international scholars alike have done numerous studies on external migration from Ukraine; nonetheless, the forced migration resulting from the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine has yet to be adequately examined. Subsequently, the article is intended to examine the displacement circumstances in Ukraine and the EU and to evaluate the consequence of compulsory external migration in Ukraine and the EU.

Published: March 2024

The aim of the article is to present the activity of three branches of the Association of Ukrainians in Poland, covering the entire Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The study also outlines the Association’s activities supporting refugees. The main research hypothesis is that the Association of Ukrainians in Poland is actively engaged in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, and following Russia’s full-scale invasion, members of the Association became extremely proactive both in helping refugees from Ukraine, as well as Ukrainians who stayed in Ukraine, including those from the territory of military operations. The core research problems focuses on the following questions: What efforts did the Association of Ukrainians in Poland undertake to maintain its history, traditions, language and culture? Which activities have been supported by local government authorities, including the Voivodeship ones? How has the Association changed its activity following the Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine on February 24, 2022? Previous studies conducted by the authors demonstrate that economic migrants from Ukraine in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship did not perceive themselves as a part of the Ukrainian minority living in the region. Meanwhile, the relationship between the Association and the refugees is different.

Published: March 2024

The article the presents results of a study on the situation of children in Poland and Ukraine in the years 1991–2021 (30 years). Children and youth are determinants of social changes, they shape the future potential of society, therefore creating conditions for their formation and accumulation of human capital is one of the main priorities of state policy in most countries of the world. The comparative analysis was carried out on the basis of selected demographic indicators, including the number of children, the participation of children aged 0-17 in the general population in Poland and Ukraine, the number of live births, the birth rate, the fertility rate in Poland and Ukraine, the child mortality rate under 1 year, the child mortality rate under 5 years (0-4 years) in Poland and Ukraine. The diagnosis and analysis of the situation of children in Poland and Ukraine shows both positive and negative trends that require modernization of public policy instruments in this area in both countries.

Wahre Klischees und plumpe Plausibilisierungen. Zur politischen Ästhetik der Ver(un)eindeutigung bei Olivia Wenzel und Anke Stelling
Authors: Liese Lea
Published: March 2024

The article examines identity politics in contemporary literature (Olivia Wenzel, Anke Stelling). The novels are caught between politics and aesthetics, which is reflected in their controversial reception: The texts are sometimes accused of neglecting aesthetic ambivalences and instead of conveying only one-dimensional, politically correct messages. However, the accusation of being free of contradictions falls short of the mark. Both texts attempt to mediate between singular and collective identity, but they also point out the difficulties of a race-, class-, or gender-specific solidarization. Questions of point of view come to the fore, but are also problematized. For this purpose, the genre of autofiction proves to be predestined, because the texts oscillate not only between political primary reference and aesthetic self-reference, but also between narrator ego and author ego. The texts offer the reader the choice of reading them as fiction or as autobiography; both readings are possible. The result is an exciting interplay of ambivalences and the critique of ambivalences.

Some Aspects of Crimes Aimed at the Public Dissemination of Deliberately False Information (Art. 207.1, 207.2, 207.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)
Authors: Konin Vladimir , Korsakov Konstantin , Sidorenko Elena
Published: March 2024

The development of information technologies has made the world not only highly informational, but also highly dependent on information, a place where deliberately false information spreads rapidly, and its harmful consequences, such as a negative attitude to something, the creation of fear, insecurity, and ungrounded condemnation of somebody’s actions are difficult to overestimate. The society faces a vital necessity of combating the deliberate dissemination of false information, including through criminal law means, which was done by lawmakers who introduced new offences into criminal legislation, and there is already some court practice for these types of crimes. This, in its turn, made it necessary to analyze the criminalistic features of these offences and determine some elements of proof.
Using Special Knowledge to Identify and Overcome the Counteraction to the Investigation of Crimes Connected with Illegal Trade in Arms
Authors: Gribunov Oleg , Sharov Konstantin
Published: March 2024

Using special knowledge in a timely and comprehensive manner should gain paramount importance in the process of investigating crimes connected with illegal arms trade. However, the information potential of a whole number of forensic examinations for this type of crime has not yet been fully appreciated by investigators and inquiry officers, which leads to considerable difficulties for the process of proof, as well as for identifying and overcoming the counteraction to the investigation. This situation appears to be wrong. The authors study specific types of forensic examinations that can be ordered for such criminal cases from the standpoint of their potential for overcoming the counteraction to the investigation. Special attention is paid to the examination of markings on objects made of metal, polymers and other materials.

The analysis of the clauses of Art. 238.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which determines criminal liability for trade in counterfeit medications, medical devices and biologically active substances, revealed certain drawbacks hindering its interpretation and enforcement: from its cumbersome and difficult-to-perceive construct to its incomplete coordination with the clauses of normative legal acts regulating trade in the respective products, and also showed some gaps. In the process of research, the author studied the legislative clauses regulating trade in medications, medical devices, biologically active substances, analyzed the contents of some terms that are important for specifying both the object of criminal infringements (specifically, “medications”, “medical devices”, “biologically active substances”, “counterfeit medications, medical devices, biologically active substances”), and the unlawful actions that constitute the trade in the abovementioned counterfeit products. As a result, the author proved the necessity of further improvement of the clauses of Art. 238.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and suggesed some directions for this improvement.

Published: March 2024

The One Health concept has acquired increasing attention due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue for a health promotion perspective that frames One Health in terms of positive health for people, animals, and ecosystems and includes a spiritual-cosmological dimension. This would enhance policy, research, and practice across disciplines and sectors for a more resilient and harmonious planet.

General anesthesia (GA) is typically recommended for category 1 emergency cesarean delivery (CD). For categories 2–4 emergencies, either regional or GA can be used. The factors influencing the choice of anesthetic technique in these categories remain poorly understood. We analyzed the association between the type of labor analgesia and subsequent anesthetic techniques employed for intrapartum categories 2 and 3 CD. In a prospective longitudinal cohort study, 300 women were consequently enrolled and categorized according to Lucas’s classification of CD urgency. The techniques of anesthesia (GA, spinal, and epidural anesthesia [EA]) employed for CD were analyzed with respect to labor analgesia methods (remifentanil patient-controlled analgesia [remifentanil-PCA], EA, and nitrous oxide [N2O]). EA was the most frequent analgesic option (43.8%), followed by remifentanil-PCA (20.7%) and N2O (5.1%), while 30.4% of parturient women received no analgesia. All anesthetic methods showed a significant relationship with analgesic modalities (P < 0.001). Remifentanil-PCA was associated with a higher incidence of GA. Contraindication to EA was the primary factor related to the transition from remifentanil-PCA to GA. Most parturients who received EA were successfully converted to EA. Spinal anesthesia was the most common technique in women using N2O and those without labor analgesia. GA was associated with lower 5-min Apgar scores. The method of labor analgesia was associated with the anesthesia technique employed for categories 2 and 3 CD. This finding may guide patient counseling and intrapartum anesthetic planning. However, the analysis should be cautiously interpreted as the selection of anesthesia is a complex decision influenced by several clinical considerations.

Published: March 2024

Ce protocole correspond à un inventaire couvrant une zone de façon exhaustive, donc sans échantillonnage, censé mettre en évidence, dans un premier temps, la répartition spatiale des populations des espèces visées. Sa répétition à intervalles réguliers permet de détecter d’éventuels changements et fournit au gestionnaire de l'espace naturel des éléments concrets pour l’évaluation de la pertinence de le gestion mise en œuvre. Ce type de protocole permet d’effectuer une surveillance sur les enjeux floristiques majeurs présents dans les sites, sur l’ensemble de leur superficie, ou sur des secteurs sélectionnés. Le présent document détaille et argumente les différentes étapes de la mise en œuvre des inventaires/suivis floristiques par maille. Notre objectif consiste à clarifier l’ensemble des étapes mises en œuvre afin d’éviter d’éventuels écueils de mise en œuvre et de déployer la méthode de façon homogène sur une majorité des sites gérés par le CEN Occitanie.
