ORIGINS OF THE KYRGYZ-RUSSIAN RELATIONS (BASED ON ARCHIVAL MATERIALS OF THE 18TH – FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY)
Authors:   Yeltsin Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University, Ploskikh Vladimir M.
Published: August 2022

The article studies archival materials of the 18th – first half of the 19th century, devoted to issues of the Kyrgyz-Russian relations from their origin to 1855. The analysis of sources proves that the Siberian (Yenisei) Kyrgyz got acquainted with Russian troops at the end of the 16th century, during the conquest of Siberia by the Russian state, however, the Russians had information concerning the Tien Shan Kyrgyz since the 18th century. Those proves are based on the reports of I.S. Unkovsky, the Ambassador of Peter I, the memo of P.I. Rychkov and the note of F.S. Efremov. The article provides data that the Siberian Kyrgyz have been gradually accepting Russian citizenship since the middle of the 18th century. The article analyzes materials about the first Kyrgyz embassy to Russia in 1785. The author emphasizes that the research of trade routes through the territory of the Tien Shan, the diplomatic mission of Zibberstein-Nyukhalov in 1813, the subsequent correspondence of Kyrgyz biys with the West Siberian Governorate General became an important milestone in the establishment of relations between the Kyrgyz and Russia. The materials provided in the article prove that the Kyrgyz-Russian relations that originated in the 18th century logically resulted in the voluntary association of Northern Kyrgyzstan to Russia.

Personalized learning reliability of tell me morea dynamic approach
Authors: Shobeiry Maria
Published: August 2022

This study investigated the personalized learning reliability of Tell Me More (TMM) (i.e. the extent to which two hypothetical identical learners receive the same level of instructional and learning support while using a courseware) within the dynamic framework of Tetzlaff, Schmiedek, and Brod (2020), in which personalized learning is considered to be the most reliable and effective when learners’ characteristics are dynamically assessed during the learning procedure and the instructions are provided to them accordingly. The lessons, workshops, and activities of TMM’s Dynamic mode were qualitatively analyzed and the results revealed that in order for TMM to provide a reliable personalized learning, it should be equipped with a placement test at the beginning of the course and a constant dynamic assessment technology throughout the learning process. Relying on adaptive activities chosen unsystematically by the learners themselves is not reliable in that most learners are neither capable of professionally estimating their own level of language proficiency nor are they trained to determine the required level of task difficulty for their activities. The results have implications for courseware designers to consider placement tests and dynamic assessment technology in their future designs to maximize the reliability of their personalized learning programs.

Female names on the geographical map of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)
Authors: Nikaeva Tatyana Mikhailovna , Starostina Anna Sofronovna , Tarabukina Marfa Vasilievna
Published: August 2022

Oikonyms derived from female names make the subject of the research. The issue has not been studied earlier since female names are rare in the names of settlements in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The small amount of such oikonyms is due to the social inequality of women compared to men in the past. The linguoculturological analysis of geographical names showed that a special status of women in the North was manifested in the fact that she was perceived not only as a home keeper and some sort of national customs’ translator but also as a strong personality, capable of overcoming any difficulties and being equal to a man. The toponymic system is one of the most significant in the language of each nation, since it encodes the information about a person's perception of the surrounding space and society, which are the most important components of the worldview.
The analysis of concepts in a terminology: a case study of russian and english terms in the field of photonic crystals
Authors: Kuleshova Valeria Olegovna
Published: August 2022

Since the 20th century, cognitive linguistics has been extremely influential. Scientists became interested not only in what is represented in the language but also in how speech occurs. The language ceased to be understood as something isolated and began to act as the primary means of expressing a person's thoughts. Through observing language forms, the process of cognition is indirectly studied. A human cognizes reality through senses, logical understanding and practical verification. With regard to scientific knowledge, it also includes modeling, synthesis and prediction. Language, in this case, acts not only as an intermediary between thought and its verbalization. It becomes a unique and self-acting tool. This article is devoted to the concept analysis of the photonic crystal terminology. For terms selection, the method of continuous sampling was applied. The work shows how to find the most constitutive terms for terminology and which concepts are objectified foremost. Particular attention is paid to the process of correlating main concepts with thematic groups. The correlation is necessary to determine the boundaries of the terminology and its place in modern science. The difference between Russian and English nature of term-creation is investigated. The relevance of the research is to show how mental knowledge is represented through terms.

Authors: Sedykh Arkadiy Petrovich , Sidorova Tatyana Alexandrovna , Akimova Elvira Nikolajevna , Bezkorovaynaya Galina Tigranovna , Skvortsov Konstantinviktorovich
Published: August 2022

The article discusses the epistemological foundations of the study of the interrogative in linguistics and humanities. The purpose of the article is to identify semiotic correlations between the interrogative and the language thinking of native speakers of national languages: Russian and French. The hypothesis is put forward those interrogative constructions serve not only for the direct formation of interrogative statements, but also perform a secondary function of transmitting pragmatic information. Several semiotic correlates of the interrogative and discourses of various types have been revealed. An important element of the found correlations is the belonging of nonverbal and verbal discourses to the phenomenon of interrogative creativity, in particular, the French semiotic tradition. The results of the conducted research can be applied in further research in the field of synergetic correlation of the interrogative and the linguistic picture of the world of national languages.

Authors: Zamiralova Tatyana A. , Fomina Svetlana N. , Medvedeva Galina P. , Shukshina Lyudmila V. , Starovojtova Larisa I.
Published: August 2022

Authors analyze various points of view that have formed in the scientific community in relation to educational and intellectual tourism. There are fairly well-established views regarding the first type; scientists highlight the goal of implementing educational tourism, its subjects, etc. As for intellectual tourism, the situation is much more complicated due to the fact that in the Russian literature, there have been only a few studies devoted to theoretical research on this issue. Naturally, this creates gaps and, therefore, problems in the practical sphere. With this in mind, we attempted to clarify the conceptual apparatus of intellectual tourism. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that educational and intellectual tourism have similar goals. However, they differ significantly from each other, which does not allow equating these two terms.

Authors: Shustova Svetlana V. , Siutkina Nadezhda P. , Shlyakhova Svetlana S. , Shestakova Olga V. , Belova Larisa A.
Published: August 2022

The linguistics of emotions currently occupies an important position in research. Emotions, permeating all human activities, are reflected at all levels of the language. This determines the vast interest of linguists to them. The authors of the article consider the class of emotive causatives and its functional semantic features. This class is a subclass of causatives, the semantics of which is associated with the impact in order to evoke certain emotions. The functional features of these units lie in the fact that they are the result of intercategorical interaction. The language unit forms categorical semantic complexes while interacting in speech with elements of the environment and other categories within the framework of a categorical situation. The authors of the article analyze emotive-causative categorical semantic complex. Expression is the product of emotion, and emotions arise under the influence of means of expressiveness. Thus, using the example of emotive causatives, we observe intercategorical interaction of different-level elements of the language system in speech.

Authors: Butskaya Oksana Nikolaevna , Pakhomova Inna Nikolaevna , Brichenkova Elena Sergeevna
Published: August 2022

This study is devoted to the trend of changes in the communicative norms of diplomatic discourse. Currently, due to the influence of several extralinguistic factors on diplomatic communication, there is a mixing of the institutional discursive type, which includes diplomatic discourse, with the personal discursive type characteristic of everyday communication. In modern diplomatic discourse, there is an obvious tendency to deviate from the conventional norms of diplomatic communication and deregulate it. With all the social significance and linguistic value of such a process, diplomatic discourse remains poorly understood. The novelty of the study is associated with the relevance of the topic as it examines examples of diplomatic communication that have become typical in the last 6-7 years, which allows analyzing the trend that has formed today.

Authors: Amatov Alexander Mikhailovich , Sedykh Arkadiy Petrovich , Yanutik Stella Yanovna , Filimonova Naralia Gennadievna , Buzinova Lyudmila Mikhailovna , Pashkovskaia Natalia Dmitrievna
Published: August 2022

The article deals with several aspects of language regulation considering social, economic, and political factors as well as their reflection in amateur and academic dictionaries of the English and French languages.

It is shown that although the issues of language "purity" have been raised over several centuries, the approaches to the solution of these issues in different countries vary significantly. These differences are primarily associated with the status of the language in the globalizing world of today. Consequently, there is a broad spectrum of political, economic, and social factors that set in motion the various mechanisms of language regulation – from purely scientific interest or laments over the "beauty of the original language" to issues of adequate functioning and, ultimately, the survival of national languages.

Authors: Marymonska Lyubov , Ponomarova Vira , Byrkun Liudmyla
Published: August 2022

This article aims to research the use of the interactive forms and methods of syntopical reading approach in the English language senior school classroom to improve cognitive skills and learners’ competence in reading as well as to develop critical thinking. While the Analytical reading mostly involves the students’ activities such as argumentation, analysis, and evaluation of the certain text through finding examples in the same text, the Syntopical reading develops critical thinking as (long as) it concentrates on the students’ skills to compare and contrast different texts dealing with one and the same topic, to express sophisticated ideas, to integrate or synthesize the ideas from multiple sources and to formulate original arguments. The objectives of the article are to determine the stages of the described learning process, the structure of every proposed stage and to develop the corresponding system of exercises for mastering the mentioned competence skills and develop critical thinking in students. The research draws pedagogical implications for an English senior school classroom, suggesting that language teachers employ explicit teaching of reading strategies that facilitate critical reading and develop critical thinking skills.

Approximate Solution of Quadratic Time Varying Optimal Control Problems via Differential Transform Method
Authors: Khalaf Sanaa L.
Published: August 2022

Because there is no general analytical method for solving the quadratic time varying optimal control problems (QTVOCPs), many authors adopt the numerical methods for this purpose. This motivates some authors to use the differential transform method (DTM) for finding an approximate solution for the linear quadratic optimal control problems (LQOCPs) and a class of nonlinear quadratic optimal control. In this paper, we propose an algorithm depend on applying DTM about the two end points of the time horizon to find an approximate solution for the linear or nonlinear QTVOCPs. To show the reliability, accuracy and efficiency of suggested method, some illustrated examples have been provided.

Authors: Hussin Wathiq Faroon
Published: August 2022

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of wheat germ oil (WGO) with or without folic acid on rabbit body weight, growth rate, feed consumption, feed efficiency and nutrient digestion at different ages. This experiment was conducted in one of the breeding halls of the Department of Animal Production at the College of Agriculture/ University of Basrah from 1-2-2018 to 1-7-2018 preceded by an introductory period of 10 days for the acclimatization of animals. Eight males and 56 female rabbits were purchased from local markets, at the age of two months, with an average weight of (650, 810) grams for males and females, respectively. The animals were divided randomly into four groups (14 females + 2 males/ group) The first group is a control group (no WGO) and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th groups were given WGO orally at a dose of 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 ml/ kg body weight/ day respectively for five months. After two months of, treatments the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th group were divided into two groups. The 1st group of each treated group continued received the same dose of WGO according to experimental protocol while the 2nd group of each treatment received the same dose of WGO plus folic acid at a dose of(1 mg/ kg of body weight/ animal) at the age of 150 days (puberty).The results revealed that dosing rabbit with WGO improved body weight at the age of puberty and pregnancy, especially the 0.75 ml/kg dose without folic acid (2887.95, 3087.95 and 3641.45 gm at 150 days of age, 15 and 30 days of pregnancy respectively). Those with folic acid were 2887.95, 3105.90 and 3660.85 gm respectively. Growth rate of 0.75 WGO with folic acid exceeded all other groups at 15 and 30 days of pregnancy (7.27 and 36.99 gm respectively). These improvements are reflecting the better digestion coefficients of drymaters (DM), Curde protein (CP) and curde fiber (CF) of the group dosed with 0.75 WGO with folic acid at 150 days of age (69.96%, 84.96% and 77.25% respectively).
Beta-Hyperhalfnormal Distribution and Its Application
Authors: Adeleke Maradesa
Published: August 2022

This research developed Hyper halfnormal distribution (HHND) and Beta-hyper halfnormal distribution (BHHND). The statistical properties of those distributions were studied and BHHND is found to have bathtube hazard function. The distributions are fitted to lifetime data that seemed to have bathtube distribution. From the analysis, the definition of HHND depends on the value of p and q (mixing proportion) and coefficient of variation. For q > p, we have Hyper halfnormal and it is Hypo-halfnormal if otherwise. The BHHND is useful in modeling heavily skewed, non-normal data with bathtube hazard function.
Adenosine Deaminase Activity a Biomarker for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Review
Authors: Hamodat Zahraa Mohammed Ali Ahmed
Published: August 2022

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune, chronic, inflammatory and symmetric disease. In order to avoid joint destruction and reduce requires knowledge of the vital components causing the disease; so it is essential to start early in diagnosis and suitable treatment. Although clinical symptoms and results of radiographic help to identify and measure the activity of RA disease, biochemical markers also act as indicators of early diagnosis of the disease activity. So it is therefore the diagnosis of the disease in an early stage must choose a strong relationship with the disease. One of the vital signs related to rheumatoid arthritis is adenosine deaminase (ADA). The destruction of adenosine by the adenosine pathway facilitates a series of infections such as rheumatoid arthritis. So there are many questions that come to our mind namely. Can the level of adenosine activity (ADA) be a biomarker of the distinction between RA patients and controls? Can adenosine deaminase be a biomarker indicator for diagnosing of rheumatoid arthritis at the stage early pre-radiographically? And, does adenosine deaminase activity give an indication of the disease activity? In this review article, we're going to show the studies that pointed to those questions.

This research aimed to identify the effect of sucrose concentration on the transparency of solid soap and to analyze the quality of used cooking oil based on the pH standards of bath soap and the quality requirements of bath soap. Sucrose, a soaping agent, was concentrated at 0%, 7%, 9%, 11%, and 13%, for the test was carried out three times in a row. The test of solid soap was a test of soap transparency, pH, air content, amount of fatty acids, free alkali, free fatty acids, neutral fats, and mineral oil. The results showed that the concentration of sucrose in soap making greatly affected the transparency of soap. The most transparent is a soap with a concentration of 13% sucrose. The quality of soap based on used cooking oil against the pH standard of bath soap has met the standard, and the quality requirements of the Indonesian Nasional Standard for bath soap are appropriate except for the water content and the number of fatty acids.

This paper consists of the results about \(\omega\)-order preserving partial contraction mapping using perturbation theory to generate a one-parameter semigroup. We show that adding a bounded linear operator \(B\) to an infinitesimal generator \(A\) of a semigroup of the linear operator does not destroy A's property. Furthermore, \(A\) is the generator of a one-parameter semigroup, and \(B\) is a small perturbation so that \(A+B\) is also the generator of a one-parameter semigroup.
A construção do campo de combate ao tráfico de pessoas em Portugal. O papel das organizações não-governamentais
Authors:   Iscte — Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia., Clemente Mara
Published: August 2022

O artigo analisa o papel das organizações não governamentais (ONG) na construção do campo de combate ao tráfico de pessoas, isto é, na conceituação do tráfico e das suas vítimas e na elaboração de políticas e práticas para o combater. Mobilizando entrevistas, observação e investigação documental e adotando uma perspetiva histórica, o artigo incide na análise da experiência portuguesa. O artigo argumenta que, em contextos caracterizados por um alto nível de institucionalização do campo de combate ao tráfico e por uma fragilidade estrutural da sociedade civil organizada, as ONG envolvidas no processo de terceirização dos serviços antitráfico não interpelam as políticas e as práticas do combate ao tráfico — incluindo a controversa abordagem securitária, focada na persecução dos traficantes, que caracteriza o combate ao tráfico. Tais práticas incluem o silenciamento de qualquer debate sobre a prostituição, pelo menos no aparelho de combate ao tráfico.

Maize is a staple food and an important source of starch for many households in Lesotho. However, for many years, its domestic supply has failed to meet demand. As a result of this capital investment through adequate access to credit is needful to develop the agricultural sector in Lesotho. Therefore, the study analysed factors that influence small scale maize farmers’ access to credit facilities using logistic regression model. The study used the purposive sampling method to identify and gather a sample of 70 farmers. Data was collected utilizing a semi-structured questionnaire. The empirical results revealed that level of education, farm size, savings and employment status influence farmers' access to credit facilities. Furthermore, this study revealed that socio-economic factors play a key role in farmers' access to credit in the study area. The study concludes that adequate access to credit is needful to promote a sustainable agricultural development and to improve livelihoods of small-scale farmers in Lesotho. The study recommends financial literacy programmes for small-scale farmers to enhance their decision making and chances of accessing credit due to a good understanding of how the financial system works and how best it can meet their needs and requirements. There is a need for the local credit policy to address the issues and needs of farmers in the credit market through encouraging financial services to avail innovative products and services that meets the financial needs and requirements of small-scale farmers.
In memorial: The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

A minute of silence. Kary Banks Mullis has died (08/07/2019). Kary Mullis was an American Biochemist and Doctor of Chemistry who developed the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in 1985, considered one of the most important legacies in the history of Humanity, along with the description of DNA (Watson, Crick and Franklin) and the theory of Relativity (Einstein). Currently, I consider anyone who does not know the PCR developed by Kary Mullis to be illiterate, since it is a molecular technique that came to stay just like COVID19. Unlike the current disease, PCR is a molecular tool that allows a DNA fragment of interest to be amplified to a level of at least one billion copies.

Introduction: Inflammation due to diabetes mellitus has been understudied. Gongronema latifolium (GL) is reported to have anti-inflammatory potentials. This work was designed to evaluate the effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Gongronema latifolium on some inflammatory markers in Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Materials and methods: 40 Wistar rats of both sexes (150 g-200 g) were divided into 5 groups of eight (8) rats each. Group 1; control received normal saline placebo orally. Group 2; GL only received 200 mg/kg of GL orally. Group 3 DM only received 65 mg/kg bw of STZ intraperitoneally for two days with an interval of one day in between. Group 4; DM + GL received 65 mg/kg bw of STZ + 200mg/kg bw of GL. Group 5; DM + Insulin received 65mg/kgbw of STZ followed by 10 IU/kgbw of insulin subcutaneously. For further inflammatory study, paw oedema was induced by sub-plantar injection of 2% formalin in two groups before and after administration of 200 mg/kg bw of GL daily for 7 days. Blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture for biochemical analysis. Results: Results from this study showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in blood glucose DM group, compared to the control. Intervention with GL and insulin significantly reduced the glucose level towards normal. Interleukin-6 concentration and C-reactive proteins were significantly (p<0.01) higher in DM group compared with the GL and control groups. Paw oedema size was significantly (p<0.05) increased in the formalin treated group compared with the control. Pretreatment and post treatment with GL significantly (p<0.05) reduced the paw oedema size. Conclusion: In conclusion, GL (like insulin) has hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory potentials.

A cooling tower is a heat remover device that can be operated to transfer exile heat to the atmosphere. Generally, cooling towers are used to cool centrally flowed water and building cooling. The production process in the industrial world uses many large-scale machines. The process of these machines generates heat as a process of engine work, so it requires a cooling system for the working process. Cooling towers are very important for the industrial world. One of the functions of the cooling tower is as a heat exile around the environment, so it has a very important role in the industrial world. For Example, companies in the chemical sector, one of which is sulfa acid processing, H2O2 factories, and so on. There are different types of cooling towers operating, for example, heat exchangers, chillers, pumps, and compressors. Cooling tower performance depends on the mass flow rate of fluid, hot water temperature, and cold water temperature.
