Cultural dictionary as a special lexicographic genre
Authors:   Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, Pivovar Ekaterina S.
Published: June 2022

Modern lexicography is being replenished with dictionaries of a new type, which in their content combine information on the language and culture of a particular nation. The study is focused on the theoretical comprehension of such dictionaries, the identification of their most important characteristics and types based on the analysis of publications dealing with Russian culture. The article presents the analysis of the influential lexicographers’ theoretical works. As a result, the author specifies the definitions of dictionary types and determines the role of culture dictionaries in modern linguistics and language education. The article also distinguishes the subtypes (genres) of the cultural dictionary: a dictionary of concepts, linguocultural, linguistic and cultural dictionaries, a dictionary of cultural literacy. The author concludes that the dictionary of culture is a specific lexicographic genre, reflecting the achievements of modern directions of linguistics such as cultural linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and linguistic conceptology. These dictionaries combine linguistic, cultural and regional information. The dictionary has become not only a linguistic publication, but a book aimed at providing the reader with information on the culture and mentality of the nation. Dictionaries created to describe the cultural component for the purpose of understanding language and culture, their active use, and solving educational problems including problems of cross-cultural communication can be defined as culture dictionaries. As a result of the analysis of dictionaries of Russian culture, the author distinguishes the following genres: linguistic and cultural dictionaries aimed at describing a foreign language environment and culture, focused mainly on a foreign reader, containing information on geographical, social, political, ideological and other aspects of culture-specific concepts in the life of a particular country; dictionaries of cultural concepts, which are often not dictionaries in the traditional sense of the word, but collections of detailed philosophical and cultural articles; dictionaries of cultural literacy, containing information on culture, knowledge of which is necessary for successful communication; linguistic and cultural dictionaries, which popularize cultural information for a general audience and are especially useful for educational purposes.
Dialogization of discourse and genre in media
Authors:   Volgograd State Technical University, Prom Natalya A.
Published: June 2022

The article studies dialogization of media monologue messages aimed at intensifying the interiorization of new information into the addressee’s picture of the world by stimulating a dialogue with the audience. There have been singled out two levels of dialogization–discourse and genre. The analysis of the media content in the advertising and political types of communication, as well as discussions and talk shows on any topic, suggested that the most effective factor stimulating the recipient’s response is the provocativeness of the discourse, found in the topic under discussion, categorical statements, controversial points of view and defiant behavior of the participants. The author analyses communicative ways of dialogization of three genre types–informative, evaluative and incentive genres (according to L. Duskaeva’s classification). The study has found that important factors determining the dialogization of discourse and genre are the interactivity of the information and communication system and the convergence of genres, the product of which is, for example, such social network genres as a blog and a forum which in their modern form depend only on the creative potential of their authors. Particular attention is paid to the dialogization of the social advertising genre which does not imply interactivity, but the real objective indicator of its effectiveness is the audience’s awareness of the problem and their subsequent actions. The author presents two directions of dialogization: firstly, the strengthening of dialogueness and interactivity with the help of rhetorical means and techniques that appeal to the addressee; secondly, the verbal expression of the interaction of two or more semantic positions, a form of representation of media facts, which presupposes the reaction of the audience.

Published: June 2022

Background: Bacteriophages are bacterial parasites. Unlike lytic bacteriophages, lysogenic bacteriophages do not multiply immediately after entering the host cells and may integrate their genomes into the bacterial genomes as prophages. Prophages can include various phenotypic and genotypic effects on the host bacteria. Enterococcus spp. are Gram-positive bacteria that cause infections in humans and animals. In recent decades, these bacteria have become resistant to various antimicrobials, including vancomycin. The aim of this study was to analyze genome of an enterococcal prophage.
Methods: In this study, Enterococcus faecium EntfacYE was isolated from biological samples and its genome was analyzed using next-generation sequencing method.
Results: Overall, 254 prophage genes were identified in the bacterial genome. The prophage included 39 housekeeping, 41 replication and regulation, 80 structural and packaging, and 48 lysis genes. Moreover, 46 genes with unknown functions were identified. All genes were annotated in DNA Data Bank of Japan.
Conclusion: In general, most prophage genes were linked to packaging and structure (31.5%) gene group. However, genes with unknown functions included a high proportion (18.11%), which indicated necessity of further analyses. Genomic analysis of the prophages can be effective in better understanding of their roles in development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Moreover, identification and study of prophages can help researchers develop genetic engineering tools and novel infection therapies.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Considering how vitamin B12 or cobalamin affects the immune system, especially inflammation and the formation of the myelin sheath, it appears as a complementary therapy for MS by affecting some signaling pathways.
Recently diagnosed MS patients were divided into two groups (n=30). One group received interferon-beta (IFN-β or Avonex), and another received IFN-β+B12 for six months. Blood samples were taken before and after treatments.  Interleukin (IL)-10 and osteopontin (OPN) levels in the plasma were determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, and the expression of microRNA (miR)-106a, miR-299a, and miR-146a by real-time PCR.
IFN-β neither changed the IL-10 plasma levels nor miR106a and miR-299a expression, but it led to a remarkable decrease in OPN concentration and enhancement in let-7c and miR-146a expression. There was a significant decrease in IL-10, OPN plasma levels, miR-106a expression, and a substantial increase in let-7c and  miR-146a expression in IFN-β+B12, treated group. There was no correlation between IL-10 and OPN with related miRNAs in the two treatment groups.  
Our study indicated that B12 could be a complementary treatment in MS that may influence the disease improvement.

Early diagnosis of primary immunodeficiencies is crucial for timely treatment and preventing unwanted complications. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and detailed clinical and immunological evaluation can help early detect such disorders. This study aimed to confirm the diagnosis of two cases of autosomal recessive hyper-immunoglobulin E (IgE) syndrome (AR-HIES), presenting with irreversible eye involvement.
Two unrelated patients with suspected AR-HIES were referred to the Immunology, Asthma and Allergy Research Institute (IAARI), Tehran, Iran. Immunological screening tests were performed for AR-HIES, which showed elevated serum IgE levels, eosinophilia, and low T-lymphocyte responses. NGS was performed, and the results were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
Sequence analysis showed a mutation in intron 17 of the dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) gene in the first patient, and a homozygous three base-pair deletion in exon 45 of DOCK8 in the second
patient. This is the first time such mutations are reported and these variants are predicted to be damaging. Both patients suffered from persistent viral infections along with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
Suspicion of these two novel DOCK8 mutations can benefit patients presenting with recalcitrant ophthalmic viral involvements and relevant immunological test results. This would lead to earlier referrals for immunologic and genetic confirmation and thus, a more timely intervention with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Background: Malaria continues to be the main vector-borne disease in Iran. The endemic foci of malaria are in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, the borderline of Iran and Pakistan. By the year 2020 the program of the country is malaria elimination. The main vector control is using insecti- cide as Indoor Residual Spraying. The aim of the study was to evaluate the susceptibility of main malaria vectors to different insecticides recommended by WHO.
Methods: All the insecticides papers supported by WHO and evaluation of insecticide resis- tance of Anopheles stephensi, Anopheles culicifacies, Anopheles superpictus to different chemi- cal groups of imagicides including DDT 4%, malathion 5%, propoxur 01.%, lambdacyhalothrin 0.05%, deltamethrin 0.025% and permethrin 0.75% were followed by the WHO guideline.
Results: Results of the susceptibility test against different insecticides revealed that An. stephensi and An. culicifacies are resistant to DDT and susceptible to other insecticides. An. superpictus is susceptible to all groups of pesticides.
Conclusion: Knowledge on insecticide resistance in target species is a basic requirement to guide insecticide use in malaria control programmes in local and global scales.

Authors: Adham Davoud , Vatandoost Hassan , Moradi–Asl Eslam
Published: June 2022

Background: Vector borne diseases (VBDs) are the infectious diseases reported from all parts of the world and Iran. The main vectors of VBDs belong to the phylum of arthropod and insects. The aim of this study was providing the database of important VBDs and vectors and geographical distribution model in Ardabil, northwest of Iran.
Methods: This retrospective cross–sectional study was conducted from 2001–2018. All the ear- lier published studies, reports and documentations related to vectors and vector–borne diseases searched systematically as well as the data of diseases was collected from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences. ArcGIS 10.4.2 (http://www.esri.com/ arcgis) were used to spatial analysis mapping, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) index and high/low clustering.
Results: Totally 110076 cases of VBDs reported in Ardabil Province during the past 18 years including malaria, visceral leishmaniasis (VL), cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), tick–borne relapsing fever (TRF), pediculosis, scorpionism, scabies and anthrax. These diseases were transmitted in Ardabil Province by eight arthropod families, 19 genera and 70 spices of arthropods. Most species belonged to Culicidae with 24 species followed by Psycodidae with 22 and Ixodidae with 16 species. The incidence rate of VBDs was 63/100000 in 2001 which decreased to 7/100000 in 2010 and then increased to 21 /100000 in 2018.
Conclusion: The distribution model of the VBDs was plotted based on the geographical and ecological of the vectors will help the authorities for decision.
Possible Synergistic Effect of Combined Metarhizium anisopliae and Fenitrothion for Control of German Cockroach (Blattella germanica) as a Novel Approach
Authors: Khaksar Mohammad Reza , Kababian Majid , Fateh Roohollah , Saghafipour Abedin , Vatandoost Hassan , Sharififard Mona
Published: June 2022

Background: Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in many residential areas. In this study, the simultaneous effects of fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and fenitrothion-coated baits on the mortality rate of the German cockroach nymphs were investigated.
Methods: To determine the lethal level of fenitrothion insecticide, a bioassay test was performed on the last instar nymphs of the German cockroach reared at insectarium conditions. Various toxic concentrations of fenitrothion (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%, 0.9%, 1.5%, and 2%) were used. Different concentrations of M. anisopliae (1×104, 1×105, 1×106, 1×107, 1×108 Conidia/ ml) were also applied to nymphs. Eventually, we combined the effective dose of fenitrothion (0.93%) with the effective concentration of M. anisopliae (6.6 ×106 Conidia/ml) to provide the fungus-coated bait to attract insects. Mortality was recorded 24–96 hours after exposure to the toxic bait. The resulting data were subjected to Probit analysis.
Results: The results of applying M. anisopliae spores with fenitrothion composition showed that the mortality rate of German cockroach nymphs was significant. Therefore, the optimal dose of fenitrothion used in combination with M. anisopliae seems essential to reduce the German cockroach nymphs.
Conclusion: The results of this study can be considered a suitable method as a mixture with low cost and minimal damage to the environment and other organisms.

Published: June 2022

Background: Extensive use of chemical larvicides to control larvae, has led to resistance in vectors. More efforts have been conducted the use of natural products such as plant essential oils and their new formulations against disease vectors. Nanoformulation techniques are expected to reduce volatility and increase larvicidal efficacy of essential oils. In this study for the ﬁrst time, a larvicide nanoemulsion from the essential oil of Acroptilon repens was developed and evaluated against Anopheles stephensi larvae under laboratory conditions.
Methods: Fresh samples of A. repens plant were collected from Urmia, West Azarbaijan Prov- ince, Iran. A clevenger type apparatus was used for extracting oil. Components of A. repens essential oil (AEO) were identiﬁed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). All larvicidal bioassay tests were performed according to the method recommended by the World Health Organization under laboratory condition. Particle size and the morphologies of all pre- pared nanoformulations determined by DLS and TEM analysis.
Results: A total of 111 compounds were identiﬁed in plant. The LC50 and LC90 values of AEO calculated as 7 ppm and 35 ppm respectively. AEO was able to kill 100% of the larvae in 4 days.
Conclusion: The nanoemulsion of AEO showed a weak effect on the larvar mortality. It may therefore be suggested that this kind of nanoemulsion is not appropriate for the formulation as a larvicide. It is important to screen native plant natural products, search for new materials and prepare new formulations to develop alternative interventions with a long-lasting impact.

Authors: Budury Syiddatul , Azizah Nurul Latifatul , Afridah Wiwik
Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted all aspects of our lives including educational practices. The social distancing and restrictive movement policies have forced institutions across the globe to shift from conventional to online learning methods. This makes the learning process more difficult, not just for regular students but also for international freshmen. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of online learning on international freshmen’s academic exposure. Qualitative research was done using a single case study of an international freshman at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya, Indonesia who due to the pandemic had to begin the session with online classes. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using Zoom meetings and documentation. The interview was focused to find out students’ approach toward online learning and academic exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic while the documentation was done to know the results of academic exposure. It was found that the students had a cultural shock in terms of language and network connection. Therefore, the authors recommend the universities to provide a supportive environment to freshmen and the students to work on their adaptive capability for such situations.

Securitization of Terrorism and Human Rights Protection in Indonesia
Authors: Hara Abubakar Eby , Azizah Nur
Published: June 2022

This article discusses Indonesia’s strategy to overcome terrorism which is slightly different from the global approach to counter-terrorism that uses a war strategy and involves regular troops. The Indonesian strategy results from a tug-of-war between the government and civil forces, namely Islamic groups and human rights organizations. Civil society groups, to some extent, have succeeded in preventing the use of military methods that have harmful implications for human rights. Using the securitization theory, this article reveals how government, Islamic groups, and human rights proponents contest to win influence in society. If the government undertakes securitization, civil society groups conduct desecuritization and place problems in law enforcement and human rights. The authors have used media reports, documents, and interviews to strengthen the analysis.

Is primary dysmenorrhea affected by gray matter volumetric changes in the brain?
Authors: KAPLAN Ela , KAPLAN Selçuk
Published: June 2022

Objectives: We aimed this study to investigate the relationship between gray matter volume differences women who suffer from primary dismenorrea (PD) and asymptomatic women.
Methods: Brain magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging of 113 PD patients and 113 healthy women were performed. The volume of gray matter structures was calculated with the VolBrain automatic calculation system.
Results: Cut-off values were found by ROC analysis for right, left and total volumes in both groups. A caudate lobe volume above 6.33 cm3 is 99.1% sensitive and 77.9% specific for a diagnosis of PD. In addition, the volumes of other pain-related gray matter regions were decreased in PD patients (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Atrophic changes in the medial GM structures in the brain in women with PD may cause hyperalgesia and the quantitative determination of these morphological changes may play an important role in the diagnosis of PD.
Rola archeonów w rozkładzie węglowodorów
Authors:   Instytut Nafty i Gazu – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, Brzeszcz Joanna
Published: June 2022

Archeony są grupą mikroorganizmów opisanych po raz pierwszy przez Carla Woese’a w 1977 roku. Od tego czasu nastąpił duży postęp w badaniach nad tymi organizmami. Wciąż jednak pozostają one słabo poznane, gdyż przedstawicieli wielu nowo odkrytych linii filogenetycznych Archaea nie udaje się wyhodować w warunkach laboratoryjnych. Archeony stanowią istotny element mikrobioty zasiedlającej większość morskich i lądowych ekosystemów (również środowisk skrajnych) oraz pełnią ważną rolę w obiegu węgla, azotu i siarki. Drobnoustroje te występują również w miejscach zanieczyszczonych węglowodorami (np. skażone gleby, naturalne wycieki ropy naftowej i gazu), będąc zaangażowane w transformacje tych związków. Organizmy te biorą udział w przemianach tlenowych i beztlenowych, mianowicie w: (1) metanogennej degradacji węglowodorów, (2) beztlenowym utlenianiu metanu, (3) beztlenowym rozkładzie wyższych węglowodorów alifatycznych i aromatycznych oraz (4) tlenowych przemianach obu wymienionych grup substancji. W procesy te zaangażowane są odmienne grupy archeonów, jednakże głównie Euryarchaeota wykazują zdolności metaboliczne umożliwiające udział w każdym z wymienionych obszarów transformacji. Coraz większa liczba doniesień wskazuje, że najprawdopodobniej omawiany potencjał metaboliczny występuje również poza taksonem Euryarchaeota. Determinanty genetyczne związane z beztlenowym metabolizmem n-alkanów zostały wykryte w genomach przypisanych do mikroorganizmów z supertypów Asgard i TACK. Obecnie istnieje silna potrzeba, aby poszerzyć wiedzę dotyczącą archeonów zaangażowanych w biotransformacje węglowodorów; szczególna uwaga powinna zostać skierowana na mechanizmy degradacji wspomnianych związków oraz na genetyczne i enzymatyczne podstawy tych przemian. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono najnowszą wiedzę na temat archeonów biorących udział w przemianach węglowodorów.

Według aktualnego stanu wiedzy sekwestracja CO2 jest niezbędnym ogniwem procesu ograniczania emisji w sektorze energetycznym i innych gałęziach przemysłu. Najnowsze szacunki Międzynarodowej Agencji Energetycznej dotyczące redukcji emisji CO2 mówią, że do osiągnięcia scenariusza zrównoważonego rozwoju konieczne jest zwiększenie dynamiki CCS z obecnie składowanych 40 Mt CO2 /rok do około 5,6 Gt CO2 /rok w 2050 roku. Wielkoskalowe projekty CCS wciąż obarczone są jednak wysokimi kosztami inwestycyjnymi i operacyjnymi, stąd też w ostatnim czasie obserwowany jest wzrost zainteresowania możliwościami łączenia sekwestracji CO2 z innymi inwestycjami w celu zwiększenia efektywności ekonomicznej. Jednocześnie zachodzi konieczność podejmowania działań w kierunku dynamicznego rozwoju odnawialnych źródeł energii. Geotermia wyróżnia się spośród pozostałych OZE szczególnie istotnymi cechami, tj. niezależnością od warunków klimatycznych i pogodowych oraz stosunkowo łatwą kontrolą i przewidywalnością generowanej mocy. W tym świetle wydaje się, że zarówno zwiększone wykorzystanie energii geotermalnej, jak i sekwestracja CO2 stanowią filary transformacji energetycznej. Ich integracja może pozwolić na osiąganie dodatkowych korzyści wynikających z wzajemnego wzmocnienia pozytywnych aspektów środowiskowych oraz zwiększenia efektywności ekonomicznej obu procesów. Połączenie sekwestracji mineralnej z geotermią wydaje się szczególnie interesujące, gdyż zatłaczanie CO2 rozpuszczonego w wodzie wymaga pozyskania dużej ilości wody – dostępnej w trakcie eksploatacji zasobów geotermalnych. Sekwestracja mineralna to proces, w którym CO2 reaguje z fazami mineralnymi zawierającymi Mg i Ca, a wynikiem reakcji jest związanie CO2 w stabilnych minerałach węglanowych. W publikacji omówiono bieżący stan wiedzy na temat możliwości powiązania sekwestracji CO2 (w szczególności sekwestracji mineralnej) z wykorzystaniem geotermicznego ciepła Ziemi. Przedstawiono również status obecnie realizowanych projektów tego typu na świecie oraz analizę możliwości realizacji na terenie Polski.
Dvo- in večjezične slikanice za otroke v predšolskem obdobju
Authors: Haramija Dragica
Published: June 2022

V slovenskem prostoru je sorazmerno malo dvo- ali večjezičnih leposlovnih slikanic, namenjenih predšolskim otrokom. S pomočjo sistema cobiss+ je bila sestavljena lista teh slikanic, izmed katerih so bile izločene neustrezne (učno gradivo, slikanice, ki niso namenjene starostni skupini predšolskih otrok, nekakovostne). Predstavljena in ovrednotena je slikaniška produkcija, ki je bila izdana v Sloveniji in v isti slikanici vsebuje besedilo v slovenščini in še najmanj enem jeziku. Ob slovenščini sta v dvojezičnih slikanicah najpogosteje uporabljeni romščina in španščina; pri večjezičnih slikanicah angleščina, nemščina, italijanščina, hrvaščina, albanščina. Ob pregledu izbranih slikanic se je pokazalo, da po književni vrsti večinoma sodijo med realistična kratkoprozna besedila z otroškim glavnim literarnim likom, te slikanice glede na temo predstavljajo različna čustva (npr. žalost, strah), (družinske) odnose, pomembne dogodke (npr. prazniki) ali vsakdanje dogodke iz otrokovega življenja. Nekaj besedil sodi v fantazijsko kratko prozo, in sicer med pravljice (ljudske, avtorske).
Stališča vzgojiteljev do zgodnjega učenja tujega jezika v vrtcu
Authors: Skubic Darija
Published: June 2022

Zgodnja otroška leta so kritično obdobje v učenju in razvoju. V prvih nekaj letih majhni otroci zelo hitro razvijajo jezikovne in druge kognitivne sposobnosti. V tej starosti so otroci tudi zelo dovzetni za učenje drugega jezika. Otrokovo védenje o jeziku in uporabi besednjaka in slovničnih struktur podpira učenje novega jezika in obratno. Zato me je zanimalo, kakšna so stališča vzgojiteljev do zgodnjega učenja tujega jezika v predšolskem obdobju. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 146 vzgojiteljev iz štirih naključno izbranih slovenskih vrtcev. Rezultati so pokazali, da imajo vzgojitelji pozitivna stališča do zgodnjega učenja tujega jezika v predšolskem obdobju, da na njihova stališča ne vpliva njihovo (ne)znanje tujih jezikov in stopnja izobrazbe – statistično pomembne razlike so se pokazale le v stališčih do štirih trditev.
Pogled staršev na zgodnje učenje tujega jezika in spodbujanje večjezičnosti na območju Ptuja
Authors: Zajec Valentina
Published: June 2022

V današnjem času je zelo pomembno in koristno obvladovanje tujega jezika. Znanje tujega jezika prinaša s seboj veliko prednosti, ki se jih mora zavedati vsak posameznik. Ne le zmožnost komunikacije, prednosti se lahko kažejo na osebni kot tudi na poslovni ravni. Za oblikovanje posameznikove večjezičnosti pa predstavlja prednost že zgodnje učenje in stik s tujim jezikom in njegovo kulturo. Obdobje, kjer je učenje tujega jezika najuspešnejše, se začne v otroštvu, natančneje po 4. letu in vse do 9. leta starosti. V tem obdobju je možganska plastičnost zelo izrazita, kar pa pomaga pri oblikovanju večjezičnosti. Višja samozavest, kreativnost, strpnost do drugih kultur, boljši kognitiven razvoj in divergentno mišljenje je le nekaj prednosti, ki jih otroci pridobijo z učenjem tujega jezika. V primerjavi s pozitivnimi učinki, ki jih lahko zasledimo v različnih študijah, nas je zanimalo, kakšen pogled imajo starši na razvijanje večjezičnosti v tako zgodnjem obdobju.

V poglavju uvodoma predstavljamo osnovna izhodišča za delo z otroki priseljenci v predšolskem in zgodnjem šolskem obdobju. V raziskavi osvetlimo del teoretičnih izhodišč in analiziramo zaznane kompetence strokovnih delavcev pri delu z otroki priseljenci, razlike v zaznanih kompetencah glede na delovno mesto in stopnjo izobrazbe (n = 461). Rezultati kažejo, da je treba izboljšati usposobljenost strokovnih delavcev za delo z otroki priseljenci, zlasti na področju specifičnih kompetenc, kot so individualno delo z otroki, uporaba dvojezičnih slikanic, priprava individualiziranih načrtov, uporaba posebnih metod dela ipd., saj je le 21,6 % strokovnih delavcev mnenja, da imajo dovolj znanja o različnih metodah za delo z otroki priseljenci. Šibko je tudi razumevanje strokovnih delavcev glede spodbujanja enakovrednih jezikovnih zmožnosti otrok priseljencev v maternem in slovenskem jeziku. Delovno mesto in stopnja izobrazbe strokovnih delavcev pa sta se izkazala kot delno pomembna dejavnika pri delu z otroki priseljenci.
Učenje in poučevanje tujega jezika v vrtcu: nabor kriterijev kakovostnega dela in primeri prakse

Published: June 2022

V članku obravnavamo kriterije kakovostnega dela za uspešno učenje in poučevanje tujih jezikov v vrtcu in njihovo uporabnost na primerih prakse. V teoretičnem delu so predstavljene izbrane teorije in pristopi ter pregled trenutnega stanja učenja tujega jezika v vrtcu, ki ga lahko označimo kot zelo odprto in nedorečeno. V nadaljevanju predstavljamo obstoječa teoretična izhodišča in načela za zgodnje učenje in poučevanje tujega jezika. Iz mednarodnega dokumenta Nürnberger Empfehlungen/Nürnberška priporočila (2010), ki zelo natančno obravnava vrsto načel, smo izpeljali nabor kriterijev za analizo prakse zgodnjega učenja. Funkcionalnost meril smo v empiričnem delu preizkusili na treh izbranih primerih prakse. Rezultati in analiza posameznih kriterijev so pokazali močne strani analiziranih primerov prakse (kot npr. pomen in spodbujanje igre ter veččutni pristop) in tudi šibke vidike (kot npr. pomembnost in nujnost vsebine, aktivno-produktivno in problemsko delo). Takšna analiza je lahko dragocen vir za izvajalce in izvajalke zgornjega učenja, za (samo)refleksijo, nove poudarke pri delu in hkrati je lahko pokazatelj prednosti in slabosti prakse zgodnjega učenja tujih jezikov v vrtcu.

According to the law, the employer is obliged to ensure equal treatment of all, regardless of any personal circumstances. Discrimination is prohibited, but not all unequal treatment is discrimination. In practice, the implementation of the principle of equality requires measures stemming from the EU Equal Treatment Directive, which strengthens the position of disadvantaged groups and increases employment and career prospects. Today, corporate social responsibility is of great importance in achieving business and economic success. In addition to striving for profit, companies also include respect and equal treatment of all stakeholders. Social responsibility affects employee’s satisfaction, which is reflected in greater productivity and competitiveness. The paper substantiates companies' commitments to respect human rights, in particular the right to work and employment, it also analyses various aspects of unequal treatment between employees and jobseekers as fair treatment of the labour market is particularly important in pandemic times. The rights deriving from work are all the greater.

Accelerated digitization significantly changed the usual procedures of marketing communication. With the goal of better customer targeting, companies are shortening communication channels, digital ecosystems are becoming a place where supply and demand meet. These facts are a source of opportunities, but also a generator of threats. The aim of the study is to provide an analytical view of the issue of managing the online reputation of selected manufacturers of electric vehicles, whose products represent a synthesis of innovation and necessity. The results of the analysis suggest that, as far as emerging markets are concerned, e-marketing communication of eletric vehikles shows a high degree of non-authenticity. This is especially evident if we compare emerging and developed markets. Creating and sustaining digital communities that form the backbone of brand identities in developed markets is a challenge for a near future. The results of the study represent the initial phase of examining the issue of reputation management of entities operating in the field of low-carbon economy.

The aim of our research and study is to analyze the goals of Hungarian family business wineries and to contribute to the understanding of factors influencing the various goals of such businesses. The family business goal model developed by Basco (2017) formed the basis of our research. Goal-related outcomes were examined at the corporate, family, and individual levels. Two factors were identified at the corporate level: industry and business life cycle. Research results reveal that socioemotional factors are the most significant at the level of the family. The features of (human and social) resources associated with the founder are the most decisive at level of the individual. On the other hand, goals relating to organizational changes were virtually absent from the corporate goals listed by the interviewees. An important conclusion of our study is that issues relating to innovation, awareness, growth and development almost exclusively concern products, services, and the more sustainable use of natural resources. Development goals relating to management or governance have not been identified.

Purpose: Lots of research has been published about the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on education, students in particular. However, little is known about the challenges and stress that Slovenian professors and assistant professors experienced during and after the lockdown, which is what this survey aims to address. Methodology: The survey was created in the 1KA survey platform and carried out between 27 May 2021 and 27 August 2021. We invited 120 higher education institutions to participate in the survey, out of which 30 responded. As a result, a total of 85 respondents were surveyed. Results: The results indicated that Slovenian professors and assistant professors were well versed with digital technology before the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of them were well equipped with digital skills and had experience with remote access, however, they had less experience with e-learning, video-conferencing and preparing video contents. During e-learning their work overload increased and they were putting in longer hours. Students demanded more instructions and guidance on distance learning, in terms of motivation, engagement and in developing confidence to give good multimedia presentation. However, despite all these, we have seen no significant increase in stress levels in professors and the majority of them felt able to cope with stress in a functional way.

Interpretacja biografii zawodowej jako przykład zastosowania interpretacji hermeneutycznej
Authors: Cyrański Bohdan
Published: June 2022

The article contains a proposal of application of hermeneutical interpretation in reference to the tradition of biografical interview. The rules of interpretation, being in the world, intersubjectivity, dialogics, the world of everyday life as well as its historical and ligual character have been outlined in the text. The specific categories of research applied to interpretation of a text – especially biographical utterance – were derived from the general rules. The interpretation of a interview with a female movie director made it possible to formulate a conclusion indicating the conditions of entering and performing the profession. The most important among these conditions are: self-reliance, courage in thought and in action, maturity, determination, the ability to establish and maintain relations with collaborators and leading the crew. The extra-subjective categories, such as social change, are important as well.

Published: June 2022

Purpose: Investigation of stresses on contact surface during interaction of a railway wheel and rail from normal pressure and tangential forces in the presence of adhesion and sliding zones of different sizes. Methods: Formulas for equivalent and tangential stresses for plane deformation and plane stress state are given and used for calculations. Special attention is paid to the study of stress state at contact boundary points of cylinders, which parameters are calculated for at contact surface points at boundary between sliding and adhesion zones. Results: The study of the distribution of equivalent stresses in the zone of their maximal values is carried out, the dependence from friction coefficients is established. The distribution of stresses on contact surface of a drive cylinder from normal pressure and from contact tangential forces in the presence of adhesion and slippage zones for different ratios between them is shown. The obtained results revealed the increase in stresses at the boundaries of sliding and adhesion sections, the effect of absence of tangential forces or presence of complete slippage. Practical importance: The data make it possible to predict more accurately a decrease in the contact-fatigue durability of samples and can be useful in studying the appearance of microcracks of a wheel or rail during their interaction. Physical modeling of the interaction of rolling elements, such as a rail and a wheel, which is performed at actual work loads, interaction speeds, various friction coefficients, at sliding or adhesion recreates with certain reliability actual conditions of interaction of a wheel and a rail, and the results help to predict the reliability of a wheel-rail pair in railway transport.

Authors: Gadzhimetov Gadzhimet
Published: June 2022

Purpose: When freight wagon cart engineering it’s necessary to assess its load-bearing elements on strength at the impact of forces expected during exploitation. These force value depends on cart design and parameters. One of cart elements, which for it’s necessary to evaluate a strength, is a side slipper. Moreover, its placement position on bolster is ought to be evaluated on a strength also. Existing approach of strength evaluation for a side slipper and its placement position, that is set in documentation, doesn’t allow to calculate load force depending on the cart design and parameters. In this regard, it’s needed to substantiate a formula allowing to take into account cart design specificities and parameters at the definition of maximal vertical load on a side slipper at its strength evaluation. Methods: Limit state, defining side slipper maximal load, is the case of wagon rollover over a rail at the effect of side forces upon a wagon. Analysis of analytical expressions used at the calculation of stability margin coefficient against wagon rollover. Results: The article analyses the documents, where the methods for the calculation of maximal forces effecting a side slipper of a freight wagon cart are expounded, and the scientific works, where the cases of side slipper destruction are described, which reason for can be occurring in exploitation high by their level forces between a side slipper and carriage body counterpart. In exploitation, maximal force, impacting on a side slipper, is embodied from the body fell-over at side loads that appears from wind pressure, outstanding acceleration and others. The pursued job has given an opportunity to deduce the formula allowing to state maximal value of vertical force, effecting a slipper, depending on the parameters and design of a cart. Practical importance: The force, calculated in accordance with this formula, allows to assess the strength of side slipper elements and of slipper placement positions at load-bearing constructions depending on cart parameters and design.
