Authors: Hartono Hartono , Fatkhurozi Fatkhurozi
Published: February 2021

PT Mitsuba Indonesia is a factory engaged in the manufacture of electrical automotive spare parts. The LED winker lamp is the newest product whose production demand is always increasing. The large demand for LED winker lamp products must of course be balanced with the readiness of production machines which are always in good condition. But in practice, the results of the production achievement are still low, this is due to the high machine loss time, especially in infrared welding machines. This study discusses the application of kaizen which aims to find the causes of loss time, make improvements in order to reduce loss time and determine loss time and productivity after repairs are made. The method used to analyze the causes of loss time is to calculate the value of six big losses and analysis of the cause and effect diagram. The analysis results showed that the idling minor factor and stoppages losses caused by part drop error and the set up and adjustment losses factor caused by a change in the type of production jig. Improvements made to the part drop error were adding 1 set of regulators. Meanwhile, the change in the production jig type is to modify the locking system on the lower and upper heater jig. Based on these improvements, it was able to reduce the loss time to 4.86% and productivity to increase 7.50% in July. Loss time fell 4.70% and productivity increased 7.90% in August.Keywords: LED winker lamp, infrared welding machine, loss time, six big losses, productivity.

Design Science Research in Entrepreneurship - on roles and modes
Authors: Terzidis Orestis , Gutmann Mathias , Ziegler Christian
Published: March 2021

The paper presents an epistemological perspective on entrepreneurship research, particularly building on the thoughts of Peirce. Drawing from an analogy from the field of medicine we find three general roles, practitioner, scientist, and design scientist. Each role follows a distinct prevalent mode (modus operationis, modus cognitionis, modus transformationis). We characterize the activity of a design scientist, the resultative and processual aspects of the artifact, and present examples in the domain of entrepreneurship. Finally, this paper suggests guidelines that can frame the activities of design scientists in entrepreneurship.

TÜRK KÜLTÜRÜNDE GELENEKSEL ŞAMANDAN NEO-ŞAMANA
Authors: BAYAT Fuzuli
Published: February 2021

XX. yüzyılın sonlarında Batı’da ve Sibirya’da, Amerika’da ve Afrika’da çeşitli düzeylerde ve farklı versiyonlarda temsil edilen uluslararası Neo-şamanlık adı ile bilinen bir fenomen ortaya çıktı ancak şamanlık geleneği olmayan halklarda ortaya çıkan bu Neo-şamanlık gerçeği, şaman geleneğinden tam kopmamış Sibirya Türklerinin modern şamanlığından farklı bir boyut sergiliyor. Onları birleştiren tek nokta yeni şamanların eğitimli, farklı mistik akımları, büyüleri ve özellikle de şamanlık geleneğini iyi öğrenen insanlar olmasıdır. Neo-şamanların çoğu psikoloji, nöroloji vb. alanlarda yetişmiş bilim adamlarıdır ayrıca antropoloji ve sosyoloji uzmanlarıdır. Neo-şamanizm yeni bir biçimlenmedir, eski tasavvurların ve ritüellerin yeni bir yorumudur. Modern Türk şamanları genelde ruhlar tarafından "seçildikleri", şamanlık görevine "çağrıldıkları" için geleneksel şamanlığı canlandırmaları ile bilinirler. Bunun dışında kalan şamanlık uygulamaları ise farklı bir Neo-şamanlıktır. Bu türden şamanlar, hem Türk neo-şamanlığına ait şaman sırlarını, kamlık ritüellerini, trans hâllerini topluma açmakla yeni bir dönem başlatmış oldular hem de şaman derneklerinde, tedavi merkezlerinde birleşerek örgütlenmiş oldular. Türk neo-şamanları; fiziksel ve ruhsal hastalıkları iyileştirenler; toplumsal ritüelleri gerçekleştirenler; geleceği görenler, davulsuz kamlık yapanlar şeklinde kategorilere ayrılırlar. Dinlere, inançlara saygılı davranan Türk neo-şamanları tıpkı ecdatları gibi her zaman yeniliğe açıktırlar. Buna örnek olarak şaman-lama, şaman-papaz, şaman-molla ilişkilerini gösterebiliriz. Özetle modern çağın Türk Neo-şamanlığı hem felsefesi, hem ritüeli hem de aksesuarları ile modifikasyona uğramış bir şamanlıktır.

KNTC1 is differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that kinetochore associated 1, KNTC1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. KNTC1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of KNTC1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient overall survival, in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Modulation of KNTC1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Character Education Based on Local Cultural Wisdom
Authors: Felta Felta
Published: February 2021

Efforts to build youth character based on local cultural wisdom from an early age through education are considered as the right step. School is a formal institution that is the foundation for education. Education in schools is part of the national education system which has a very important role in increasing human resources. Through education in schools, it is hoped that it will produce quality Indonesian human resources. If you look at the goals of national education, quality humans are not only limited to the cognitive level, but also affective and psychomotor. In practice, local content subjects are seen as second-class lessons and are only considered as a complement.
Was the COVID-19 pandemic associated with a change in the pace of self-inflicted injury deaths?: A time series analysis of suicide and accidental injury mortality data
Authors: Athey Alison , Thrul Johannes , Nestadt Paul
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic struck in the context of growing self-inflicted injury rates and appears to have increased nation-wide levels of distress. This study describes mortality trends in Maryland during the first six months of the pandemic and adds to the current literature by accounting for characteristics of pre-pandemic mortality trends and by distinguishing differences in mortality trends based on cause (e.g., overdose) and manner (e.g., suicidal) of death. We obtained data for all unnatural deaths in Maryland from January 2003 to August 2020 from the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. We grouped decedents based on cause and manner of death (e.g., suicidal poisoning). We used ARIMA, exponential smoothing, and/or seasonal time series modeling to project the expected rate of self-inflicted mortality during March through August 2020. We compared expected mortality rates based on these self-inflicted injury models to the observed during the pandemic period mortality to investigate the hypothesis that self-inflicted injury deaths would increase at a more rapid pace than observed prior to the pandemic. The models forecasting accidental overdose deaths fit the data well (model R2 = .90, model BIC = 3.77). There were more deaths by accidental poisoning and fewer deaths by accidental falls in March and May 2020 than predicted by pre-COVID-19 models. Most self-inflicted suicidal and accidental injury deaths appear to continue to occur at the same rate during the early months of the pandemic. This research is limited by its use a limited dataset that captured mortality in one state for six months. This study may not capture longer-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or the association between the pandemic and rarer events (e.g., firearm deaths.) Additionally, this study does not account for the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people of color who are dying by suicide at a faster rate than their White counterparts in Maryland during the pandemic.

Published: March 2021

Objectives: Hesitance and resistance to COVID-19 vaccination poses a serious challenge to achieving adequate vaccine uptake in the general population. Cross-sectional data from the early months of the pandemic indicates that approximately one-third of adults in multiple nations are hesitant or resistant to a vaccine for COVID-19. Using longitudinal data, we tracked changes in attitudes to COVID-19 vaccination during the pandemic.Study Design: A quantitative, longitudinal design.Method: Nationally representative samples of the adult general population of the Republic of Ireland (N = 1,041) and the United Kingdom (N = 2,025) were assessed for their attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination at three points from March to August 2020.Results: Statistically significant increases in resistance to COVID-19 vaccination were observed in Irish (from 9.5% to 18.1%) and British (6.2% to 10%) adults. Conclusion: Resistance to vaccination has significantly increased in two European nations as the pandemic has progressed. Growing resistance to COVID-19 vaccination will pose a challenge to public health officials responsible for ensuring sufficient vaccine coverage.
Applications of MRI Connectomics
Authors: Damoiseaux Jessica S. , Altmann Andre , Richiardi Jonas , Sadaghiani Sepideh
Published: March 2021

Structural and functional brain connectomics are considered a basis for an individual's behavior and cognition. Therefore, deviations from typical connectivity patterns may indicate disease processes, and can potentially serve as disease biomarkers. To date, the direct clinical application of brain connectivity measures for diagnostics or treatment is limited. Nonetheless, the extant literature on fundamental and clinical research applications reveals important advances in our understanding of typical and atypical brain structure and function. In this chapter we discuss the current status of the field regarding: (1) the impact of the connectome on cognitive processes and behavior, (2) the connectome across the lifespan, and (3) clinical research applications of connectomics. In addition, we highlight some limitations of connectomics for research and clinical translation.
Do Neuroticism and Conscientiousness Interact with Health Conditions in Predicting 4-Year Changes in Self-Rated Health among Swedish Older Adults?
Authors: Henning Georg , Berg Anne Ingeborg , Cengia Anja , Hansson Isabelle , Spuling Svenja , Wettstein Markus
Published: March 2021

Health conditions such as higher disease burden, pain or lower functional health are associated with poorer self-rated health (SRH) in older age. Poorer SRH, in turn, is a predictor of morbidity and mortality. Personality traits are associated with SRH as well, but little is known about the interaction of personality and health conditions. In the present pre-registered analyses, we used five annual waves of the Health, Aging and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEARTS) study (n = 5,823, M(age) = 63.09, SD = 2.01) to investigate the associations of personality (neuroticism and conscientiousness) and physical health indices (disease burden, pain, functional limitations) with levels and change in SRH. In addition, we tested personality x health interaction effects. We found that higher neuroticism and lower conscientiousness were related to lower levels of SRH, but not to change in SRH after controlling for the health indices. Personality did not moderate the effect of health indices on levels and change in SRH. Exploratory analyses showed that high scores of neuroticism may augment the association of increased pain and functional limitations with declines in SRH. Additional studies with other samples are needed to test if this result can be replicated. Taken together, our findings provide only weak evidence for interaction effects of personality and physical health factors on SRH. More research is needed to understand the interplay of physical and psychological factors in shaping individual SRH.
Malmquist Productivity Index Approach in Assessing Performance of Commercial Banks: Evidence from Nepal
Authors: Pathak Hari Prasad
Published: February 2021

Using the DEA-based Malmquist total factor productivity index, this article measures the total factor productivity of Nepalese commercial banks during the period 2010-2011 to 2016-2017. It also examines whether the ownership structure and size of banks affect their efficiency. An input-oriented DEA model is used with aggregate panel data covering all the 28 commercial banks that are currently operating in Nepal. This article adopts constant returns to scale approach to measure and compare the efficiency and productivity of banks and to establish a benchmark for their performance. Interest expense, operating non-interest expense, deposits and labor are used as inputs variables and interest income, operating non-interest income and loan and advances as outputs variables. These data are extracted from the annual reports of the respective commercial banks. The mean efficiency score measured in terms of total factor productivity change resulted 1.008, which indicates that the efficiency level of Nepalese commercial banks has been increasing very slowly at the rate of 0.8% annually. Ownership structure of the banks influences marginally on the efficiency level of banks. The domestic private banks are relatively more efficient than the joint venture banks and the latter are comparatively more efficient than the public banks. The size of banks makes no significant difference in the efficiency level of banks.
Screening for hepatitis C in an outpatient endoscopy unit
Authors: Rai Mandip , Lowe Catherine , Flemming Jennifer A
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: The Canadian Liver Foundation recommends routine hepatitis C (HCV) screening for Canadians born between 1945 and 1975. This study aimed to determine the feasibility and outcomes of targeted birth cohort HCV screening during routine outpatient endoscopic procedures in a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of individuals born between 1945 and 1975 who attended outpatient endoscopy procedures at Kingston Health Sciences Centre from 2017 to 2019. Patients who consented received the HCV OraSure point-of-care test for the HCV antibody (HCV Ab). If positive, serum for HCV RNA was sent, and patients were linked to care with a hepatologist. RESULTS: 2,179 patients met birth cohort criteria for HCV screening. Of those, 1,079 (49.5%) were approached for study inclusion, and 160 (15.0%) declined participation, leaving 912 patients who provided consent. The median age was 62 years (IQR 55–67). Overall, 6/912 (0.7%) of participants were HCV Ab positive and 5/912 (0.6%) were HCV RNA positive. Four were linked to care for consideration of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy, 3 received DAA treatment, and all 3 achieved sustained virologic response (SVR). CONCLUSIONS: Birth cohort screening for HCV in an outpatient endoscopy unit identified an HCV prevalence similar to population estimates. In this model, however, 50% of eligible patients were not approached for screening. Linkage to care for assessment of treatment was high at 80%, and of those who received therapy, all achieved SVR. These results suggest this cohort is a suitable population for HCV screening; however, we need strategies to increase recruitment of all eligible individuals.

Authors: Hakim Fauziah , Murtafiah
Published: February 2021

Teori Grup merupakan materi dasar dari mata kuliah Struktur Aljabar yang sarat dengan definisi dan teorema. Oleh karena itu, mempelajari Teori Grup membutuhkan kemampuan penyelesaian pembuktian yang baik. Namun, kemampuan mahasiswa membuktikan masih sangat rendah. Kurangnya pembiasaan mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan masalah pembuktian diduga menjadi penyebab lemahnya kemampuan mahasiswa dalam membuktikan. Dibutuhkan sebuah perangkat yang dapat digunakan untuk mampu melatih mahasiswa mengerjakan soal-soal pembuktian. Pada penelitian ini peneliti mengembangkan Lembar Kerja Mahasiswa (LKM) dengan berpandu teori pemahaman Pirie-Kieren. Teori Pirie-Kieren merupakan teori pemahaman yang terdiri dari delapan lapisan pemahaman, yakni primitive knowing, image making, image having, property noticing, formalising, observing, structuring, dan inventising. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan dengan pendekatan kuantitatif menggunakan model ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Subjek uji coba penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa program studi Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Sulawesi Barat yang mengambil mata kuliah Struktur Aljabar masa registrasi semester genap tahun akademik 2019 – 2020. Analisis data yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa LKM yang dikembangkan valid, efektif, dan praktis sehingga dapat digunakan untuk uji coba yang lebih luas.

Pengaruh Penggunaan Deltametrin pada Buah Kakao (Theobroma cacao L.) terhadap Kualitas Tanah
Authors: Maretik
Published: February 2021

Tanaman kakao saat ini mengalami penurunan produksi karena serangan hama penggerek buah kakao. Upaya pengendalian hama PBK biasanya menggunakan pestisida kimiawi sintetik jenis deltametrin. Namun, pemberian pestisida ini secara terus menerus dikhawatirkan akan berpengaruh buruk terhadap kualitas tanah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengkaji pengaruh penggunaan deltametrin terhadap kualitas tanah. Penelitian ini menggunakan deltametrin dengan konsentrasi 0 ppm (kontrol) dan 25 ppm dengan 5 ulangan. Parameter kualitas tanah meliputi fisika tanah (bulk density, porositas tanah), kimia (bahan organik, C, N, P) dan biologi tanah (kelimpahan serangga tanah). Hasil yang diperoleh pada fisika tanah (porositas tanah dan bobot isi) tidak berbeda nyata antara perlakuan dan kontrol (37,80% dan 36,74% ; 1,65 g/cm3 dan 1,68 g/cm3; P<0,005). Pada biologi tanah (kelimpahan fauna tanah) ada perbedaan antara perlakuan dan kontrol (32 ekor dan 69 ekor). Pada kimia tanah (Bahan organik, C, N, P dan K) terdapat perbedaan antara perlakuan dan kontrol (1,64% dan 2,17% ; 0,95% dan 1,26% ; 0,009% dan 0,11% ; 0,009% & 0,014% ; 0,001% & 0,005% ; P<0,005). Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberian deltametrin pada tanaman kakao tidak berpengaruh terhadap sifat fisik tanah, akan tetapi berpengaruh terhadap biologi tanah yaitu terhadap kelimpahan fauna tanah, dan mempengaruhi kimia tanah.
CONFIGURATION OF THE COMPOSITIONAL SCHEME: “TRAJECTOR – LANDMARK” IN THE COMMUNICATIVE ORGANIZATION OF THE SENTENCE
Authors:   Khmelnitskyi National University, Boyko Yu.
Published: March 2021

The article deals with new approaches to the study of the communicative perspective of a sentence using profiling or focusing operations. Profiling some of the most communicatively significant blocks leads to the highlighting information included into the main clause – the trajectory, and dependent clauses, as mobile figures, are landmarks, moving up and down rendering information about the trajector. Тrajector and landmark as elements of conceptualized event are placed in the speaker’s focus of attention, but they possess unequal focal prominence. Focusing involves choosing the content that should be marked, as well as the organization of this content by placing its components in the foreground and background, which corresponds to the well-known in psychology the concepts of “background” and “figure or foreground”. Trajector as a mobile element of the scene constitutes the primary focus. Landmark which serves as the point of reference for trajector is usually placed in the secondary focus. The trajector/landmark assymetry is fundamental to building a Compositiona path of a Complex sentence. The result of focusing is the thema-rhematic division of information represented by units of discourse. In addition, focusing is tracked in unit values. Its distinctive feature is the formation of complex structures from simpler ones. In the language of the structures of lower levels, which are included in the structure of higher levels, collectively form a “symbolic assembly” , which may have varying degrees of complexity. In general, it is the conceptual framework and profile that are important for understanding the communicative orientation of the Complex sentence itself. The conceptual framework is the entire amount of information contained in a sentence. The profile is the part of the database that, when highlighted, forms a new meaning of the whole syntactic unit.
SPECIAL ASPECTS OF CONSONANTISM OF THE OLD UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE IN THE LETTERS OF THE XV CENT.
Authors:   Khmelnitskyi National University, Tsaralunga I.
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the language of valuable reminders of the official style – Middle-Age letters. With the help of the end-to-end analysis of the XV century documents there were investigated the special aspects of consonantism of the Old Ukrainian language of that time, the territorial specificity of the witnessed phonetic phenomena was determined. On the basis of the developed methodology for the analysis of written monuments, the first attempt in the Ukrainian studies of systematic investigation of variational phonetic elements was made, the causes of language fluctuations were clarified, the role of dialects, foreign-language influences in the emergence of phonetic and morphological variability of written monuments of the specified period was identified, the place of linguistic parallelism in the formation of a specific literary-written system in the Ukrainian and adjacent territories of XV century was determined. Many important sound changes were observed: the hardening of the consonant [p’], typical of the south-western Ukrainian dialects; the hardening of sibilants, typical of the Ukrainian language system; frequent examples of the hard consonant [ų], characteristic of the North-Ukrainian sub-dialects; assimilation by the soft apical consonants of the neighboring [j], reflected in the modern Ukrainian language; assimilation in the combinations of “sonant + voiceless” and “voiceless + sonant”; simplification in the groups of consonants, present in Ukrainian nowadays; diverse specificity of reflexes of the sound combinations *dj, *zdj; signs of transition [мj]> [мн], typical of the south-western sub-dialects; reflection of sounds [г] and [ґ], etc. Various consequences of the phonemic implementation have led to the development of variability in the consonant system of the Old Ukrainian language of the XV century.

Compound words are characterized by semantic and structural motivation due to the components that make up these words. The relationship between the components of compound words is quite complex, as they can change their meaning when creating a compound word. Moreover, there is a process of modification between the components of a compound word, and they themselves are subject to certain grammatical rules. Depending on the combination of components, there are two types of relationships: subordinate and coordinate. In subordinate components, one component semantically affects (modifies) another. Coordinative compound words are formed copulatively (by combining), without the semantic influence of one component on another. Coordinative compound words are primarily formed in colloquial layer of lexes. They are characterized by simple morphological form and semantic accuracy. However, coordinative-type compound words are not frequently used. Components of coordinative compound words evenly share features of a basic component. They may represent a combination of synonyms and antonyms (sour-sweet), parallel notions of synonymic doublets (coach-trainer). Moreover, coordinative compounds of American sports media discourse may be represented by compound words specific only to the aforementioned sphere. These lexical units may be formed with the help of pronouns, numeral, and proper names. A great deal of coordinative-type compound words use numeral to represent quantitative aspects of sports. They are always occasional and are not fixed in dictionaries as quantitative aspects they render may range within physical capacity of athletes and sports. Compound nouns that use proper names as their components always render a type of a match or characteristics of a certain sports event, in which people, whose names are indicated by the components, take part. An algorithm to distinguish coordinative compounds from other types of compound lexical units has been elaborated.

Authors:   Khmelnitskyi National University, PRIYMAK I.
Published: March 2021

The article examines the work of Oksana Kerch – a representative of the literary process of the interwar period in Halychyna. Her work is considered in relation to the general artistic trends of the day, in particular in terms of stylistic features of the writer’s prose. For a long time, her work, removed from the cultural process, was on the margins of literary criticism. Although Oksana Kerch’s prose is unknown to the general public, her artistic heritage is original and distinctive. At one time, the writer’s works were published on the pages of well-known periodicals, such as “Women’s Fate”, “Nova hata”, “Ukrainian News”, and were published in separate prints. The return of the artistic figure of Oksana Kerch to the all-Ukrainian literary process necessitated a comprehensive study of her creative heritage. In particular, it is important to consider the genre and style specifics of the writer’s novels. The novel “The Groom” is bright and original in the writer’s artistic work. In this novel the author recreates the dramatic events of the interwar decades in Halychyna. A notable feature of the work is autobiography – the writer herself witnessed those turbulent events of the struggle of Ukrainian patriotic youth for their national identity. The novel consists of twenty-one stories. The four main characters take turns telling about the life of military and interwar Lviv and its inhabitants. On the printed pages, the author created a unique figurative world that reflected the conflicts of the era. In the novel, Oksana Kerch recreates the environment in which the ideas of the national liberation movement are born, and through the perception of her own national identity, she models neo-romantic ideals on her way to serve the native people. The neo-romantic concept is vividly embodied in the pages of the work. Here the author continues the tradition that has developed in Ukrainian neo-romanticism – the dominance of the theme of Ukraine, the struggle for its independence.

The article studiesthe lexical and semantic features of the anthroponyms in the modern English prose discourse, basing on the material of The Mortal Instruments, series of six young adult fantasy novels, written by Cassandra Claire. The work presents origin analysis of the characters` names and surnames presented in the books, and the ways of their interpretation. Particular attention was paid to the information and stylistic functionality of onyms and their impact on the reader’s knowledge of the inner world of the characters. We proved the connection between the choice of one’s own name and the character’s behavior, his or her actions and a complex socio-psychological portrait; and determined the interdependence between the use of different forms of the name, its short forms or complete replacement, from the metamorphoses that occur with the characters during the development of the plot line of the novel. The work studies the notion of allusion as a kind of intertextuality through the collaboration of biblical and mythological motives, which in turn contributed not only to the specifics of the names` choice of some characters, but also determined their role and order of decisions. It is emphasized the importance of in-depth study of anthroponyms in modern English prose, taking into account the diversity of their role within the work of art, the ability to reflect the culture and social life of society, focusing on the hidden symbolism and literary heritage of a culture and country in general. Keywords: anthroponyms, onyms, onomastics, intertextuality, modern English prose discourse, proper names.

In the article the surnames of the village Bozhykivtsi are analyzes. At the same time, it is indicated that today significant successes have been in general achieved in the study of anthroponymic heritage of Ukraine, in particular, the surnames of Hutsul region (B. B. Blyzniuk), Boykivshchyna (G. E. Buchko), Lubenshchyna (L. O. Kravchenko), Opillya (H. D. Panchuk), Upper Transnistria (I. D. Farion), etc. The purpose of our research is to analyze the anthroponyms of the village of Bozhykivtsi and to carry out their lexical-semantic and word-forming characteristics on three time periods (1855, 1946 – 1949 and 1986 – 1990), to show the changes in the composition on the basis of a comparative analysis of the surnames. The funds of archives were the sources of the study of surnames, as a result of which a card index was compiled. The material for the study was 649 surnames. The word-forming-structural analysis of surnames of the village of Bozhykivtsi allowed to distinguish morphological and lexical-semantic formations. Anthropo unitst of the village Bozhikivtsi that has been formed by the lexico-semantic way are motivated by: 1) onymic vocabulary: a) surname, corresponding to the personal name; b) surnames corresponding to toponyms; 2) appellate vocabulary: a) surnames related to nouns: non-derivatives and derivatives; b) surnames related to composites; c) surnames related to adjectives. The morphological way of creating anthroponyms is represented only by suffixation. Surnames are formed with the help of patronymics (-евич / -ович, -ич), polyfunctional (-енк-о, -ук / -’ук, -чук, -ик, -ськ-ий / -цьк-ий, -ак / -’ак, -чак, -к-о, -ець, -ан/-’ан, -унь, -л-о, -ій, -ок, -ач), possessive (-ов / -ев / -єв / -ів , -ин / -ін) formants. Thus, it has been established that 44% of the surnames of the first period are preserved in the third time period, so 56% of anthroponyms are new, which is primarily due to the migration of the inhabitants. It was found that at all stages, more names motivated by appeals, less – proper names. Anthroponyms with uncertaine semantics consist 2-3%. Lexical-semantic formations dominated in the first time period, and the morphological one in the second and third periods. The most productive forms wereук/-’ук/-чук, -ськ/-цьк.

The aim of the research was to study phraseological transformation in the context of mass media discourse. It is found that the study of phraseology is comprehensive, which allows to study it in different aspects, taking into account the system-linguistic, linguistic and cultural, linguistic and cognitive and functional areas. Today the research of phraseological transformations which are considered as relevant changes in lexical structure, syntactic structure, semantics of a constant expression acquires special urgency. It is necessary to distinguish between simple and analytical forms of transformation, where the first is to change / delete only the word / words in the structure of phraseology, which causes partial changes in the semantics of the language unit, and the second is to change not only the structure but also the semantics of permanent expression.syntactic, lexical, morphological changes. The study is based on two German women’s magazines BRIGITTE, GLAMOUR, which in the German media space are particularly popular by relevant topics: fashion, career, beauty, trends and lifestyle, relationships and partnerships. It is established that the texts of astrological predictions belong to the address and reference subcontinent, the main purpose of which is to interest the reader, the promotion of key ideas of the publication, the formation of worldview. On the example of German astrological predictions, the most productive types of phraseological transformation are analyzed and its main functions are established, namely: emotionality, expressiveness, expressiveness, accuracy, etc. It is found that the most part of transformations take place both in the structure and in the semantics of a stable expression.
