Unveiling problem-solving strategies of pre-service mathematics teachers: A visual and discursive exploration
Authors: Zulu Mzwandile Wiseman , Mudaly Vimolan
Published: June 2023

This study explores how pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) in South Africa use visualization and self-discourse to solve mathematical problems. Visualization is known to enhance mathematics learning, while effective communication skills are critical for teaching and learning mathematics, especially in contexts, where the language of instruction may not be the first language of students or teachers. By understanding the visualization techniques and discursive properties employed by PMTs, insights can be gained into how to improve mathematics learning and teaching. The study is informed by the commognitive framework and uses qualitative data from a purposive sample of 10 PMTs who participated in a performance test and semi-structured interviews. The study found that PMTs rely on mental visualization for simpler mathematical problems but use both symbolic and iconic visual mediators for more complicated problems. The use of language to engage in self-discursive activity during problem-solving was found to be key for successful visualization.
Chinese mathematics teachers’ TPACK and attitudes toward ICT integration in the post-pandemic era
Authors: Li Mao
Published: June 2023

This study investigated primary mathematics teachers’ technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) and attitudes towards information and communication technology (ICT) integration in mainland China during the post-pandemic period. Quantitative data were collected through a web-based self-determined questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using independent sample t-tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests to assess gender and teaching experience in years. Spearman’s correlation test also examined the relationship between TPACK and teachers’ attitudes towards ICT integration. The findings revealed that most mathematics teachers had adequate non-technology-related knowledge but lacked technology-related knowledge. However, they were willing to incorporate digital technologies in their teaching after experiencing large-scale online teaching. There was no significant gender or teaching grade differences in TPACK, but teaching experience positively correlated with TPACK. The study emphasizes the importance of assessing teachers’ practical circumstances before introducing TPACK development programs. Finally, the implications for teachers, educators, and policymakers were discussed at the end of this paper.

The aim of this study was to describe the wood treatment sector in the cities of Douala and Yaoundé (Cameroon). A total of 319 semi-structured interviews were conducted. The respondents were agents of wood depots, sawmills, hardware stores, and carpentry shops. They were asked about the diversity of products used and their perception of the risks and dangers of treatments. The chemical method (40.4%) was the main means of preserving wood against termite attack according to the respondents, followed by the traditional method with 9.4%, the physical method (2.2%) and more rarely, the use of plant extract (0.3%). All the chemicals were found to be hazardous to the environment and human health, with Xylamon being classified as the most hazardous. The physical control methods and those using plant extracts were found to be not at all dangerous for human health and the environment. Notwithstanding concerns for the protection of the environment and human health, toxic and hazardous products are still predominantly used. It would be important to move towards less or non-toxic products.

To study on development and treatment of textile waste water by using microbiological processes and root-bed treatment in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan
Authors: Sushil Kumar Barolia  , Sandeep Kumar
Published: June 2023

Textile wastes often have an intense color, with high concentrations of dyes, dyeing of various chemicals, additives, and some are non-biodegradable and toxic, mutagenic or carcinogenic. Therefore, it is essential to treat the waste water from the tissues to eliminate these substances before discharging them into the environment. In the present and in the last decades, in-depth research has been conducted on the elimination of dyes from different waste waters using chemical and biological treatment technologies or a combination of both. Therefore, the goal was to study the microbial community in the active tissue that worked well compared to the municipal for two seasons (winter and summer) sludge, and explain the differences observed by environmental variables bacterial taxonomy, phylogenetic tree, Chloroflexi, Choroid and Acidobacterias were more abundant in active sludge textile samples. In addition, reducing exfeated bacteria detected almost exclusively in the textile industry, while nitrification and denitrification of bacteria and phosphate accumulation bacteria were more abundant in the city. It was also clear that the textile microbial communities were more different than municipal, perhaps due to a wider variety of environmental stress to which microbial communities are subjected in textile purification plant. High salinity, high organic loads and a higher water temperature have been found as important variables that guide the composition of the microbial community.

Desenho e Geometria o poder de um pensamento sensível e de um pensamento racional
Authors: Rodrigues Luís Filipe
Published: June 2023

Este livro, de caráter teórico, consolida o conceito de Desenho Empírico e esclarece os benefícios da sua experienciação, quer no reflexo que possa ter na consciência das formas, quer na otimização e maximização do pensamento formal, quer ainda na autoconsciência de quem o explore criativa e expressivamente. No sentido de evidenciar as vantagens da sua exploração, estabelece-se, recorrentemente, uma comparação com o Desenho Geométrico, vulgarmente associado à área da ciência, ao poder do pensamento racional e à operacionalização dos mecanismos cognitivos, em que não há espaço para a expressão da sensibilidade. Com efeito, com este paralelismo, sustenta-se a ideia de que o Desenho Empírico, com a sua inerência expressiva e cognitiva, incrementa particularmente o pensamento sobre e a através de formas. Na verdade, este tipo de desenho, ao convocar o sistema mente-corpo, pela dinâmica da psicomotricidade na dialética ação-pensamento-representação, cria condições para que o poder de um pensamento racional se complemente com o poder de um pensamento sensível, e assim se facilite uma consciência mais alargada.

Published: June 2023

Corynebacterium bovis (Cb), the cause of hyperkeratotic dermatitis in various immunocompromised mouse strains, significantly impacts research outcomes if infected mice are used. Although Cb has been isolated from a variety of species, including mice, rats, cows, and humans, little
is known about the differences in the infectivity and clinical disease that are associated with specific Cb isolates. The infectious dose that colonized 50% of the exposed population (ID50 ) and any associated clinical disease was determined in athymic nude mice (Hsd:Athymic Nude-Foxn1
nu ) inoculated with Cb isolates collected from mice (n = 5), rat (n = 1), cow (n = 1), and humans (n = 2) The same parameters were also determined for 2 of the mouse isolates in 2 furred immunocompromised mouse strains (NSG [NOD. Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl
/Sz] and NSG-S [NOD. Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl Tg(CMV-IL3, CSF2, KITLG)1Eav/MloySzJ]). To determine the ID 50, mice (n= 6/dose; 3 of each sex) were inoculated topically in 10-fold increments ranging from 1 to 10 8 bacteria. Mice were scored daily for
14 days for the severity of clinical signs. On days 7 and 14 after inoculation, buccal and dorsal skin swabs were evaluated by aerobic culture to determine infection status. The mouse isolates yielded lower ID50values (58 to 1000 bacteria) than did the bovine (6460 to 7498 bacteria)
and rat (10,000 bacteria) isolates. Human isolates did not colonize mice or cause disease. Mouse isolates produced clinical disease of vary- ing severity in nude mice. Despite significant immunodeficiency, furred NSG and NSG-S mice required a 1000- to 3000-fold higher inoculum for colonization
than did athymic nude mice. Once colonized, clinically detectable hyperkeratosis did not develop in the haired strains until 18 to 22 d after inoculation, whereas athymic nude mice that developed clinically detect- able disease showed hyperkeratosis between 6 and 14 d after inoculation. In
conclusion, there are significant differences in Cb's ID 50, disease course, and severity of clinical signs between Cb isolates and among immunodeficient mouse strains.

Published: June 2023

Los componentes orgánicos volátiles generados por cambios en el metabolismo de un individuo han sido utilizados para el diagnóstico de enfermedades a través del olfato canino. Hay evidencias sobre la generación de dichos componentes en la infección por SARS-COV-2. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la capacidad canina para discriminar a pacientes positivos y negativos a COVID-19 a través de muestras de sudor axilar. Se utilizaron muestras de sudor axilar de 102 pacientes hospitalizados tanto COVID-19 positivos (31) como negativos (71), todos diagnosticados mediante la prueba de RT-PCR. Por cada ronda de detección se colocó una única muestra positiva y el resto de las muestras (sean 1, 2, 3, 4 o 5) negativas. La sensibilidad y especificidad global fue de 93,11% (± 3,14%) y 88,52% (± 4,64%) respectivamente. La alta sensibilidad pudo deberse al entrenamiento más prolongado aumentando así, la exactitud en la detección de muestras positivas. La especificidad fue menor a otra publicada pudiéndose deber a que las muestras negativas provenían de personas internadas por otras patologías o eran acompañantes de familiares internados por lo que todas poseían olor hospitalario. La detección de pacientes COVID-19 mediante el olfato canino ha demostrado ser una prueba tamiz confiable y prometedora.
The Use of Bracing Dampers in Steel Buildings under Seismic Loading
Authors: Al-Oukaili Nazar K. , Al-Zaidee Salah R. , Al Mallah Najjiya M.
Published: June 2023

This study focuses on the modeling of manufactured damper when used in steel buildings. The main aim of the manufactured dampers is to protect the steel buildings from the damaging effects that may result due to earthquakes by introducing an extra damping in addition to the traditional damping.Only Pure Manufactured Dampers, has been considered in this study. Viscous modeling of damping is generally preferred in structural engineering as it leads to a linear model then it has been used during this study to simulate the behavior of the Pure Manufactured Damper. After definition of structural parameters of a manufactured damper (its stiffness and its damping) it can be used as a structural element that can be added to a mathematical model of the structure. As the damping of manufactured dampers is generally greater than the damping of traditional materials, then the resulting damping matrix for the whole structure will be classified as a nonclassical damping. As most of literature on earthquake engineering have been written in terms of terminology related to mode superposition method and as this method is applicable to classical damping only. Then, this study tried to check the accuracy of the mode superposition method when applied to a structure with manufactured dampers. In this checking, approximated results of mode superposition method have been compared with more accurate results of direct integration method. From this comparison, it has been noted that the mode superposition method has different levels of accuracy depending on the relation between the fundamental frequency of the structure and the dominate frequency of the earthmotion. If the frequency of the structure is approaching to a dominate frequency of the earthmotion, then the damping effect will be important and the difference between the direct integration method and the model superposition method is increasing and vice versa
"Clinical Reach into the Cognitive Space" (CRITiCS) - An outline conceptual framework for the safe use of generative artificial intelligence in mental health decision making.
Authors: Hider Andrew , Wright Lesa
Published: June 2023

This article provides a conceptual framework - “CRITiCS” - for potential use in the design and deployment of generative AI systems to support clinical decision making in mental health services. Recent advances in generative AI, via massive parameter transformer networks (large language models such as GPT4) have rendered possible the use of cognitive agents that may support clinical productivity in mental healthcare, particularly in secondary and tertiary services where information load is proportional to clinical complexity and chronicity. Thus, the way we conceptualise the ‘cognitive space’ that, up to 2023, was occupied solely by human clinical reasoning, will inevitably change. However, there are transparency issues in that the cognitive emulation observed in LLM outputs, while of obvious potential benefit as an analogue of clinical reasoning,is not amenable to granular understanding in the same way that clinical decision making is subject to interrogation by human governance and assurance bodies. A consensus conceptual framework is urgently needed, to direct the path of the use of generative agents in mental health care, which we argue has cognitive space features that distinguish it from physical medicine, towards which most AI deployment proposals to date have been directed. It is hoped that this paper will attract discussion and interest in both the clinical and development communities.
From tech to tact: emotion dysregulation in online communication during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: James Mark Michael , Koshkina Natalia , Froese Tom
Published: June 2023

Recent theorizing argues that online communication technologies provide powerful, although precarious, means of emotional regulation. We develop this understanding further. Drawing on subjective reports collected during periods of imposed social restrictions under COVID-19, we focus on how this precarity is a source of emo-tional dysregulation. We make our case by organizing responses into five distinct but intersecting dimensions wherein the precarity of this regulation is most relevant: infrastructure, functional use, mindful design (individual and social), and digital tact. Analyzing these reports, along with examples of mediating technologies (i.e., self-view) and common interactive dynamics (e.g., gaze coordination), we tease out how breakdowns along these dimensions are sources of affective dysregulation. We argue that the adequacy of available technological resources and competencies of various kinds matter greatly to the types of emotional experiences one is likely to have online. Further research into online communication technologies as modula-tors of both our individual and collective well-being is urgently needed, especially as the echoes of the digital push that COVID-19 initiated are set to continue rever-berating into the future.
How Can We Best Assess Spatial Skills? Practical and Conceptual Challenges
Authors: Uttal David , McKee Kiley , Simms Nina , Hegarty Mary , Newcombe Nora
Published: June 2023

Spatial thinking skills are associated with performance, persistence, and achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) school subjects. Because STEM knowledge and skills are integral to developing a well-trained workforce within and beyond STEM, spatial skills have become a major focus of cognitive, developmental, and educational research. However, these efforts are greatly hampered by the current lack of access to reliable, valid, and well-normed spatial tests. Although there are hundreds of spatial tests, they are often hard to access and use, and information about their psychometric properties is frequently lacking. Additional problems include (1) substantial disagreement about what different spatial tests measure; even two tests with similar names may measure very different constructs; (2) some STEM-relevant spatial skills may not be measured by any existing tests; (3) many tests are only available for specific age groups. The first part of this report delineates these problems, as documented in a series of structured and open-ended interviews with colleagues. The second part outlines a roadmap for addressing the problems. We present possibilities for developing shared testing systems that would allow researchers to test many participants through the Internet. We discuss technological innovations, such as virtual reality, which could facilitate testing of navigation and other spatial skills. Developing a bank of testing resources will empower researchers and educators to explore and support spatial thinking in their disciplines, as well as drive development of a comprehensive and coherent theoretical understanding of spatial thinking.

Published: June 2023

Veterinarians stand in many contradictory positions, such as moral and ethical representatives of animals and their welfare and the clinic owner, which makes income for them and their families. The article will look at factors in decision making significantly impacting veterinary professionals’ mental health. Distress is caused by high societal pressure, as veterinarians must fulfill their profession's requirements. Together with working conditions, it negatively impacts their mental health. The article emphasizes the need for veterinary professionals and future veterinary professionals to have proficiency in animal welfare, animal ethics, and primarily moral decision making. Thus, critical thinking and ethical decision making should be discussed more in the profession and veterinary education.
Potential and Need of Tourism Cluster Organizations in Slovakia
Authors: Gáll Jozef
Published: June 2023

One of the important issues in the context of tourism cluster or­ganizations is their role as a tool and potential for the development of the region’s economy and as a source of its advantages, but also some poten­tially negative effects. The main aim of this article is to evaluate the poten­tial of existing clusters and cluster organizations and to identify the real nature, direction, and impact of the cluster organization in tourist regions and its real impact on member companies (institutions). To achieve it, we will use primary sources of information, which represent the results of sur­veys carried out in the environment of companies and institutions associat­ed with selected cluster organizations, by asking cluster policy implement­ers and information obtained from cluster organization coordinators. Qual­itative methods such as the method of sociological inquiry in the form of a questionnaire and an individual in-depth interview will be used to obtain a reliable picture. A detailed analysis, which examined the cooperation be­tween companies, research and development institutions, and local gov­ernments, allowed us to identify the activities of the cluster organization, its technological level, innovations in the cluster organization and competitive position, as well as development perspectives. The research carried out be­tween coordinators and member companies (institutions) pointed out the key problems of cluster activities and cooperation. Part of it is a processed issue of cluster support in regions and current activities on the part of local (regional) authorities.
Structural and Formal Constructions of Translating the Attributive Phrases of the Story “A Matter of Life and Death” by Les Martovych into English
Authors: O Lepokhin Ye
Published: June 2023

The study deals with the translation of attributive constructions featured in the story “A Matter of Life and Death” by Les Martovych into English. The paper focuses on the ways of rendering adjectival lexemes as semantic-syntactic attributive components of the nominal group, their taxonomy by means of Gordon Tucker’s systemic functional approach and the relation between the elements of the quality or quantity group and the word with respect to William McGregor’s typology of syntagmatic relations. Roma Franko achieved the comprehensive rendering of various adnominal attributive modifiers through a variety of ways. To translate syntagmas with associative (classification) attributive adjectives and nouns in the attributive function, Ms Franko addresses herself to five structural-formal constructions that are topically related to the domain of community administration and identify socially privileged classes. Two structures furnish for gradual adjectives of the quality group. Twenty structures render attributive relations, where adjectival lexemes refer to one or more features of the property described. The use of attributive constructions, which are the result of unfolding of the denotative meaning of the nominal lexeme of the source language in the translation, has been commented. The findings of the study will serve to those involved in the synchronic-comparative study of language systems, the study of the Ukrainian writer’s signature world-view for the purposes of producing fiction translation, as well as at analyzing semantic and grammatical features of the attributive adjectives. The prospect of future studies may include comparing the translation of attributive phrases of the story into German.
Franz Kafka in the Comic. Description of some Examples
Authors: Kalinowski D
Published: June 2023

Franz Kafka is considered to be the author of literature that is difficult to read, the value of which is recognized mainly by a narrow circle of experts. However, looking at some aspects of contemporary and popular culture, and especially the presence of Kafka's works in comics, one needs to verify the traditional belief in the elitism of this prose.

David Zane Mairowitz (1943-) published in 1993, together with the cartoonist Robert Crumb, the graphic book “Kafka for Beginners”, in some editions known as “Introducing Kafka”. As for the Mairowitz / Cramb graphic book, it contains several graphic components: comic adaptations of some of Kafka's most famous works, including the stories “The Metamorhosis”, “The Penal Colony” or “The Judgment”, as well as briefly listed plots of three novels: “The America”, “The Trial” and “The Castle”. In the work of Mairowitz / Cramb, we also find the most important biographical facts of Kafka, which are partly illustrated with an academic essay, and partly with comic-like frames with sequences of biographical events given in text frames.

The success of publishing houses with a comic presentation of fragments of Kafka's works prompted David Zane Mairowitz to develop the text for the graphic novel entitled “The Castle” (2013), based on the novel of the same name. The author of the drawings for this publication was the Czech artist and musician Jaromír Švejdík, using the pseudonym Jaromír 99. Mairowitz and Jaromir's a composition is another act of establishing Kafka's work in the world of comics. In “The Castle”, however, the variety of comic techniques was limited to a monochrome form of drawing and paper cutouts.

The presence of Kafka in comics results from the inclusive nature of popular culture, whose authors are able to use for their own purposes the sublime art of modern prose. As a result, Kafka's work becomes a sign of the times of modernism, an image of the phenomena of human alienation in the reality of state offices or corporate systems.
The Concept of "INFORMATION SPACE" of the Present: Sources, State, Prospects
Authors: Vakulyk I
Published: June 2023

Information has always been valued, now it has become even more valuable. Today it is considered the most important resource for the development of society. Recently, issues related to information warfare have been actively discussed not only in our country but also abroad. Despite thirty years of independence of our country, the concept of information space has not lost its relevance. Therefore, our task was to demonstrate with the help of which frames (in their broad interpretation from the point of view of linguistics, psychology, communication in general and knowledge as a picture of the world, the source of which is time, circumstances and actions) information is framed. The purpose of the study is to present the concept of "information space" in the projection to the present. The multidimensionality of the coverage of this issue in scientific discourse is explained by various factual materials. Therefore, the paper uses traditional methods of scientific research - analysis and synthesis - to identify the most important features of the phenomenon under study. Discussion. Linguistic units have different thematic and genre load, and therefore compositional build their own caches in the communicative space. There are codes - rubrics - symbols that help to decipher any information. We tried to highlight the concept of information space, based on our own observations and developments, which may not coincide with the generally accepted ones. Its main advantages are a high level of mobility. Conclusions. The article analyzes how information security occurs and what influences it. The author's own interpretation of "information space" in the context of modern communication is presented. This is encoded information that you need to be able to decipher. And everyone chooses the tools and platforms himself. This research can be used in teaching the theory of disciplines related to algorithmization, programming, artificial intelligence, linguistic experiments, mathematical linguistics and logic. Information space is a generalized concept of the acquired linguistic experience of mankind based on the objects of the physical world. Information can either be copied or acquire a new sound. Information only becomes valid when it is guaranteed by its use.

Holophrastic Constructions in English and French Fiction
Authors: Holtsova M , Vitomska N
Published: June 2023

Holophrasis is an occasional type of lexical and syntactic method of word formation in which a syntactic unit is transformed into a lexical one. Holophrastic constructions (HCs) are a productive method of occasional word formation in English and French writing. HCs are typically used to enhance expressiveness, conciseness, and accuracy in writing. In this study, we examined HCs in the language of modern English and French writers in terms of their syntactic structure, semantics, graphical representation, and functions.

To achieve this goal, methods of induction and deduction, word-forming analysis and linguistic definition have been used. Holophrastic constructions, collected by a continuous sample of works of French and English-language fiction, have become the research material. We found that the HCs in our texts consisted of between two and twenty-six components, suggesting a high ceiling on the number of units that can be combined to make a HC. While most of the HCs in the texts were semantically transparent, there were several semantically opaque examples that required additional cultural and intertextual knowledge to decode. The HCs in both English and French were represented visually in several ways: hyphens, italics, capitalisation, and the combination of these methods.

The article has presented nominative and attributive HCs with different stylistic loads. Nominative HCs refer to certain concepts and phenomena of reality, giving them greater expressiveness and originality. Attributive HCs are formed to express the quality of an object using lexical, semantic and morphological means. HCs in our texts served various functions: nominative, descriptive, pragmatic, and as a way to compress content. The cоnteхt of hоlоphrаstic construction use is usually limited by the sentence in which it is used. The emphatic nature, vivid expressiveness, self-contextualisation and ability to conserve linguistic efforts are distinguishing features of HCs.
Grammatical Valence in the Structure of Syntactically Non-Segmented Word-Combination

Published: June 2023

Abstact. In modern grammars of Slavic languages, syntactically non-segmented word-combinations are not separated into a separate type, but are represented in a single list of different types of syntactically free word combinations. Today, it is important to understand the place of syntactically non-segmented word-combinations in the grammatical system of language. The purpose of the paper is to characterize the basis of the grammatical valence of syntactically non-segmented word-combination as a new type of syntactic constructions.. New approaches to the analysis of the structural organization of syntactic units in the Ukrainian grammar of the beginning of the XXI century contributed to the deepening of the theory of phrases (works of I. Vykhovanets, A. Zagnitko, M. Balko, N. Kostusiak, N. Kobchenko, O. Kholodon, R. Nazarchuk, etc.), including syntactically non-segmented word-combinations. Syntactically connectivity and syntactic indivisibility are the basis of syntactically non-segmented word-combinations. The grammatical valence of the core component in syntactically non-segmented word-combinations is determined by a set of such features as: part-language belonging of the core component, its categorical meaning; categorical features of the core component. The synsemanticity of the core component is analyzed in view of the onomasiological characteristics of words of different part-language affiliations. We see the prospects of research in the study of syntactically non-segmented word-combination in a pragmatic aspect.

Published: June 2023

The range of the most topical issues of the up-to-date linguistics allows strengthening by the stylistic differentiation of the literary language. Actually, the researchers’ crucial attention is paid to the core problem of the epistolary discourse’s place within the stylistic paradigm. It is worth mentioning that in the specific structured epistolary style there is an addressee-addresser strategy, which holds a core position. The latter functions as an architectonic centre of the correspondence context. This research contains the thorough disquisition of the “Letters to Oles Honchar” epistolary, including 895 correspondences of the artistic word masters, publicists, literary experts, and specialists to Oles Honchar, the world-fame writer. In fact, the main attention was focused on the addressee (the compiler of the discourse under research clarified 2053 addressees and addressers) of the information, which comes from diverse addressees, different in terms of socio-psychological, cultural-intellectual and other factors, and explicates common and distinct communicative-content filling. It was firstly that the “Letters to Oles Honchar” epistolary appeared to be systemically characterised via the prism of mono-, bi-, and polyaddressability. As a result, the role of the vocative component as a mandatory epistolary attribute, predisposing the discourse formation in general and its contextual fragments in particular, the identification of the genre nature of the letter (primarily, the dichotomy “official / private correspondence”), was deeply examined.

This article examines the definition of euphemisms, areas of use, positive and negative aspects, styles of use and the relationship between euphemisms and dysphemisms, their role in modern English-language political and journalistic texts. The functioning of euphemistic and dysphemistic units in political and journalistic discourses is also highlighted, all the reasons for their occurrence in various communicative situations are analyzed.

We tried to present the main functions and role of euphemisms and dysphemisms in political discourse and mass media. In the language of politicians and modern mass media, the phenomenon of euphemism and dysphemia is one of the bright indicators of social transformations. Researchers of these phenomena speak of a tendency to avoid direct nomination of objects and abstract things, due to the reluctance to offend others. In order not to hurt someone's feelings, people often try to mitigate the potentially negative impact of statements by using more acceptable alternatives. This means that whenever we are faced with a sensitive topic, we choose words that minimize the offensive or harsh effect on listeners.

A decisive role for distinguishing between euphemisms and dysphemisms is played by the broad context of the utterance, which includes the extralinguistic situation, as well as the immediate linguistic environment of the lexeme. Euphemism and dysphemia reflect social, cultural, moral values, and even peculiarities of worldview and thinking not only in the speech of individual personalities, but also in the language portrait of modern society in general. Euphemisms and dysphemisms completely depend on the assessments of certain phenomena accepted in society, on the definition of what is permissible and what is not. Hence the need for their systematic study in connection with cultural and social changes.
