DISCURSIVE MECHANISMS OF COMMUNICATIVE PARTNERSHIP IN THE POPULARIZATION OF LINGUISTIC KNOWLEDGE
Authors: KHAKIMOVA E.M.
Published: January 2025

The article highlights the problem of educational processes in the digital environment, which is relevant for post-industrial society and creates favorable conditions for the dissemination of professional information to a mass audience on the principles of voluntariness, mutual interest and subjectivity of both creators and consumers of expert content. The paper aims to identify discursive mechanisms that ensure the implementation of the strategy of communicative partnership in Russian-language podcasts devoted to the popularization of language knowledge. The theoretical foundations of the study are related to the conceptual provisions of the theory of speech influence and discourse studies. The empirical base was made up of audio tracks of podcasts posted on the popular streaming platform "Yandex Music" and recommended for listening by the reference and information portal "Gramota.ru": "Language basics", "Verb group", "Notes on the margins", "How it is in Russian", "Rosenthal and Guildenstern". The methods of communicative-pragmatic and linguistic analysis were used to study this material. The results of the study prove that in the considered podcasts the strategy of communicative partnership is realized through the speech tactics of self-presentation and cooperation, their interaction provides the dynamics of communicative focus, concentrated on the addressee in the first case and on the target audience in the second. The paper defines and demonstrates the communicative moves used in the framework of these speech tactics: self-presentation is provided by the formation of the podcast image, coverage of its retrospective and perspective, presentation of addressees, their axiological positioning, subjectivization of the presentation, description of the complexity of cognitive processes; cooperation is expressed in such speech actions as identification of the target audience, reference to speech etiquette, creation of the effect of listeners’ presence in the preparation of the issue, introduction of the goal of the podcast, introduction of the target audience, and introduction of the target audience. Special attention is paid to the linguistic markers of discursive mechanisms of communicative partnership - lexical, grammatical, genre and speech, stylistic units, the expressiveness of which in podcast audio tracks is enhanced by paralinguistic means.

India being a developing country has a high burden of Tuberculosis (TB). It is a communicable disease and a major global heath challenge. Considering the impact of this illness on both individual patients and public health, it is critical to comprehend the effectiveness and adverse pharmacological profile of the medications. Although most patients on a daily ATT regimen do not encounter the documented ADRs listed below, doctors and patients should be concerned about them. For example, rifampicin induced discoloration of body fluids is often overlooked as it is "innocuous".  Nonetheless, Adverse drug reaction (ADRs) reports on these drugs are scarce in proportion especially in regards to the most common ADRs like antitubercular treatment (ATT) induced chromaturia.

Published: January 2025

Ceropegia is tuberous herb, mostly found growing on grassy slopes of hills and plateaus. Species of Ceropegia are recognized mostly for its peculiar ornamental and/or medicinal properties. Most species from the genus Ceropegia are included in threatened category because of special requirements in terms of climate and habitat. Earlier studies have indicated that habitat destruction and collecting of tubers for local consumption are the major threats. However; during recent years; their populations have been found declining rapidly due to habitat modifications and anthropogenic pressures like grazing, tourism and trampling, land use changes, etc. Since the majority of the reported Ceropegia species were previously classified as vulnerable or endangered by the IUCN, conservation efforts ought to be pursued in order to slow the rate at which these species are becoming extinct. Present research article deals with taxonomy, flowering and fruiting period, present status, threats of critically endangered Ceropegia species found in and around Western Ghats region of Nashik district. The present study would help in identifying the species habitats and the areas to be prioritized for their conservation.

Published: January 2025

Artemisinin is the main antimalarial compound in Artemisia annua, used in the formulation of artemisinin-based combined therapies (ACT) to treat malaria. Artemisinin is largely obtained from A. annua plant but the content is very low and its production commercially is not cost effective worldwide. In view of the importance of this phytomolecule and plants being the only source of its production, this study evaluated the effect of irrigation interval on the growth and artemisinin content of A. annua. A greenhouse experiment was conducted at Botanical Garden of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with 4 replications. The two factors examined were: (1) irrigation interval at different growth stage and (2) artemisinin content of A. annua. Irrigation interval (W) was taken at four levels (W1, W2, W4, and W6 days interval) while growth stage at three levels: early vegetative stage (EVS), mid vegetative stage (MVS) and late vegetative stage (LVD) and artemisinin were determined and quantified using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The calibration curve was constructed by plotting the peak area against the concentration by the external standard method on five concentration levels of artemisinin standard (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 µg/ml), with three injections per level. Linear regression was used to establish the calibration curve. Results were calculated using the peak areas with determination coefficient (R2) of 0.951. Results revealed that W2 days irrigation interval had significantly (p<0.05) affected fresh weight, dry weight, stem diameter and root length during the EVS. At MVS, irrigation interval had no significant (P>0.05) effect on plant height and number of branches but significantly reduces stem diameter. During the late vegetative stage (LVD), irrigation intervals have no significant effect on all parameters evaluated. Artemisinin content was not significantly (P>0.05) affected by irrigation intervals during the EVS but significantly affected at mid and late vegetative stage and our result demonstrated that prolong mild irrigation interval (W2) could significantly enhanced artemisinin content in A. annua.

Authors: ADUMITRESEI Lidia , IFRIM Camelia Mariana , GOSTIN Irina Neta
Published: January 2025

The observations aim a comparative study of the anatomical structure of the stem and leaf, during anthesis, in some Rosa species and varieties (sports), in order to complete the data from the specialized literature because the morphological information is more numerous than the anatomical ones. Moreover, sometimes they are even inconsistent, as in the case of the glands/glandular trichomes on the leaves and stem.
A series of similarities are highlighted, which can be considered conservative characteristics of the Rosa genus, as for instance: the rapid transition to the secondary structure, the disposition of the vascular bundles (of collateral type) on a circle, the absence of the phelloderm’s activity in the first year, the presence of the crystal idioblasts and the bifacial structure of the leaf. Also, a series of characteristics of each species is highlighted: disposition of the secondary xylem vessels, quantity of libriform fibres, the nature of the walls of the cells from the medullar rays, the thickness of the walls of the sclerenchyma fibres and the presence of the crystal idioblasts in various tissues.

Published: January 2025

Species composition and diversity of lignicolous fungi occurring in representative Fagus sp. forests have been analyzed along an altitude gradient, in 14 locations from the eastern region of Romania, including mountain forests (Borca, Gosman, Nemtisor, Tarcau), as well as hill forests (Arsura, Bârnova, Dalhauti, Dragomirna, Gâdinti, Homita, Humosu, Magura Ocnei, Runc, Valea Fagilor). The investigations were carried out over three successive years (2020-2022) in a total of 40 study plots with a size of 1000 square meters each. Identification of the main fungal groups was realized using a hierarchical agglomerative clustering procedure, and the differential species were determined based on their indicator value, while the relationship between fungal composition and environmental variables was assessed with detrended correspondence analysis. A total of 89 species of wood-inhabiting fungi has been identified, with approximately 2500 records. These species were grouped in three different clusters: one specific to the mixed broadleaved-coniferous forest in (sub) mountain areas, one specific to hornbeam - beech communities in hilly areas, and one specific to more thermophilic forest communities with Fagus taurica. The main ecological factors influencing the fungal composition were altitude, average annual precipitations and average annual temperatures, which also influence the trees species composition of the analyzed forests.

EXPLORING THE GAP: TEACHERS' PERCEPTIONS VS. ACTUAL USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION
Authors: Nogaibayeva A.A. , Yersultanova G.T. , Agabekova B.N.
Published: January 2025

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in language teaching is profoundly influenced by educators’ attitudes and perspectives towards its use. Conversely, the ideologies or viewpoints held by individuals can significantly affect the facilitation or hindrance of information and communication technology adoption and utilization. The use of information and communication technology tools in English language instruction is widespread and varies greatly. Nonetheless, the beliefs and perspectives of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers play a crucial role in either reinforcing or undermining the importance of this application. The incorporation of innovative technological tools, such as information and communication technology, into educational practices depends on the essential involvement of educators. To optimize student learning results, teachers' attitudes must change. This is demonstrated by the relationshipbetween the effectiveness of instructional reforms and their capacity to adjust to new technology. By employing the Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology framework, a systematic review of the literature was conducted as part of the research. The literature covered 79 empirical studies published in the last 10 to 15 years that examined the relationship between teachers' perceptions of and actual use of information and communication technology in language teaching and learning. This study demonstrates the relationship that exists between how teachers view the usage of information and communication technology and how it is actually used in language instruction. It also looks at the variables affecting how instructors view the usage of information and communication technology.
An Interview with Cristina Martins
Authors: Newcomb Robert P.
Published: January 2025

The Mirandese language is a Romance language and form of Astur-Leonese that is spoken in a border region of rural northeastern Portugal. Mirandese owes its existence to the southward expansion of the medieval kingdoms of Asturias and Leon into territory later incorporated into the Portuguese kingdom. For most of its history Mirandese has been an essentially oral language, though in recent decades this has changed, and in 1999 an Orthographic Convention for the Mirandese Language was published. That same year, the Portuguese parliament recognized the existence of Mirandese and the linguistic rights of the Mirandese community. Despite these advances, spoken Mirandese is in decline, and it currently has an estimated 3,500 active speakers. This decline is due to factors including language stigmatization, particularly during the latter half of the twentieth century, improved transportation links between the northeast and the rest of Portugal, and rural-to-urban migration. Mirandese may go extinct as a spoken language by the mid-twenty-first century. On September 8, 2023, Cristina Martins (Associate Professor, Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra) gave a keynote address, “Mirandese, quo vadis?” at the 44th Annual Conference of the Association for Contemporary Iberian Studies, at the University of Porto. Professor Martins provided an overview of the history, present, and possible futures of Mirandese. She also described her linguistic research on and personal relationship with the language. I invited her to participate in this interview, conducted by email, to introduce Mirandese to a primarily North American academic audience, and to expand on the themes of her address.

Authors: Shin Yohan , Kim Kye Hyun , Woo Bongsik , Kang Joohyun
Published: January 2025

Background: Rehabilitation medicine in Korea has improved significantly; however, the rehabilitation medical delivery system still lacks well-established continuity and comprehensiveness. Since 2000, Japan has implemented a convalescent rehabilitation ward system, with continuous improvements in policies and criteria based on clinical needs. This study compared the rehabilitation systems of Korea and Japan, focusing on institutional standards and the scope of target patients in order to explore directions for enhancing the Korean system.Current Concepts: Japan applies a multi-tiered reporting system for rehabilitation wards, categorizing wards and adjusting reimbursements based on performance indicators such as functional improvement rates, discharge-tohome rates, and rehabilitation effectiveness indices. Additionally, Japan’s policies encompass a broad range of target diseases and flexible admission criteria, improving accessibility. In Korea, the scope of target diseases is relatively narrow, limiting opportunities for patients to receive appropriate rehabilitation treatment.Discussion and Conclusion: Korea could benefit from adopting a multitiered system and performance-based reimbursement structure, as seen in Japan’s model. Expanding the range of eligible conditions and reviewing certification requirements can enhance the accessibility and quality of rehabilitation services. These changes are expected to foster an environment in which patients can receive timely and comprehensive rehabilitation care, thereby facilitating physical recovery and reintegration into society.

Authors: Nguyen Trinh Phuoc , Phu Pham Xuan
Published: January 2025

Climate change severely impacts lowland areas and agricultural communities dependent on natural resources in Vietnam, mainly An Giang province in the Mekong Delta region. Naturebased solutions (NBS) are being implemented as an effective and sustainable approach to address the challenges of climate change. This study focuses on evaluating NBS livelihood models currently being applied in An Giang, including the "two rice crops and lotus" model, the "rice-fish" model, and the "Natural fish with sesbania" model. The results show that the "two rice crops and lotus" model increases farmers' profits by up to 25% compared to traditional rice farming due to reduced fertilizer costs and increased economic value from lotus. The "rice-fish" model also brings significant benefits, with a 40% increase in income through the combination of fish farming and rice cultivation during the flood season, helping to improve water quality and mitigate the impacts of climate change. The "Natural fish with sesbania" model also demonstrates great potential in enhancing resilience and diversifying farmers' income sources during the flood season. Based on these findings, the study highlights several challenges, including financial, technical, and community awareness issues. However, nature-based livelihood models hold great potential for expansion and sustainable development, contributing to climate change adaptation strategies in An Giang province and the Mekong Delta region. The study proposes specific measures to support local communities and enhance the implementation of these solutions on a larger scale.

Published: January 2025

Population aging is a global challenge, and Taiwan is on the brink of becoming a superaged society. The government has implemented various long-term care policies, sparing no effort in caring for older adults, particularly older veterans, who are cared for by the Veterans Affairs Council (VAC). This study explored the time bank concept, in which military personnel use their free time to accompany older veterans, accumulating service hours that can be redeemed for companionship services when they reach old age. An expert interview was conducted to understand the attitudes of military personnel toward this initiative, revealing the necessity of enhancing the awareness of military personnel about veterans and the care policies of the VAC. The interviewees agreed with the time bank concept, which involved accumulating hours of companionship with veterans for future redemption. Clearer communication must be enforced regarding the rights and responsibilities of military personnel post-service and the veteran care policies of the VAC. A quantitative survey was conducted to assess the willingness of military personnel to participate in companionship programs, aiming to produce findings that can inform policy decisions.

Published: January 2025

Knowledge, compliance, and attitude toward assessing and documenting Early Warning Signs (EWS) are critical for emergency department patients, influencing triage and immediate treatment planning. Despite the importance of EWS in hospital settings, limited research exists on nursing documentation of EWS in electronic medical records (EMR). Inadequate EWS documentation can compromise the accuracy of patient assessments, delay the activation of the Rapid Response Team (RRT), and increase the risk of adverse events. This study aims to evaluate the impact of EWS training on knowledge, attitude, and compliance among nurses in the Emergency Department. A quantitative, quasi-experimental design pre-post intervention design was used in this study. The study was conducted in a private hospital's Accident and Emergency Department in the Klang Valley. All staff nurses in the department were recruited using total sampling. A researcher developed a questionnaire assessed nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward EWS documentation, while a retrospective audit was conducted to measure compliance with EWS. Pre-training, 16 nurses (80.0%) demonstrated good knowledge of EWS, which increased to 18 nurses (90.0%) post-training. All respondents (100.0%, n=20) exhibited a positive attitude toward EWS pre and post-training. Regarding compliance, 15 nurses (75.0%) adhered to EWS documentation pre-training, which improved to 19 nurses (95.0%) post-training. The findings highlight that Emergency nurses possess strong knowledge and positive attitudes toward EWS documentation. Training effectively increased compliance with EWS documentation. Ongoing training sessions and regular audits should be implemented to ensure continuous compliance and quality improvement in EWS documentation among staff nurses.

The Image of Historical Memory Created by Writers: The Battle of Saulė in Latvian Literature
Authors: Butkus Vigmantas
Published: January 2025

Using memoir studies and literary imagology as the methodological starting points, the article analyses the image of the Battle of Saulė that took place on 22 September 1236 in the works of fiction and poetry by Latvian writers and the place of Lithuanians in it. Texts written in the 1910s–1930s, many of which were inspired by the 700th anniversary of the battle celebrated in 1936, are covered in the analysis. These are verses, poems, novels, and other literary genres written by Vilis Plūdons (real name Vilis Lejnieks, 1874–1940), Kārlis Fimbers (1898–1970), Rihards Ērglis (1881–1950), Jānis Akuraters (1876–1937), Atis Ķeniņš (1874–1961) and other authors.
Latvian writers aimed: 1) to give prominence to the role of their countrymen (Semigallians), which is inadequate to objective historical data, 2) to express the idea of affinity and unity of the Balts through the topic of the battle. The first purpose was emphasised more strongly. The image of Lithuanians in the works under analysis is quite featureless, artistically expressionless; moreover, it is historically inaccurate (for instance, the legendary duke Ringaudas has been systematically depicted as a historical personality).

Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini menekiti perihal tantangan Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di sekolah, terlebih yang berkaitan dengan sikap sosial siswa. Salah satu permasalahan utama adalah pembeda mengenai ilmu agama serta ilmu umum, dimana pembelajaran religius cenderung berfokus pada aspek akhirat, sedangkan ilmu umum dianggap hanya untuk urusan duniawi. Selain itu, krisis etika di masyarakat yang beragam, seperti radikalisme dan intoleransi, seringkali dipicu oleh pendekatan pendidikan agama yang sempit dan tidak membuka ruang untuk memahami perbedaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara dan kajian literatur untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh sikap tersebut terhadap interaksi sosial dan tingkat toleransi di kalangan siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penting untuk merancang pendekatan pendidikan Islam yang lebih inklusif dan komprehensif, yang memadukan ilmu agama dengan pengetahuan umum, sekaligus menanamkan nilai-nilai toleransi, saling menghargai dan memahami perbedaan. Pendidikan yang berbasis pada moderasi dan inklusivitas dapat menjadi solusi untuk menumbuhkan regenerasi baru yang lebih luas, berwawasan, dan mampu tumbuh berdampingan bersama lingkungan serta masyarakat.

Penelitian ini membahas strategi dan prinsip utama dalam pengembangan kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) yang bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini berangkat dari isu bahwa kurikulum PAI saat ini cenderung menitikberatkan pada aspek kognitif tanpa memberikan cukup perhatian pada penerapan nilai-nilai agama dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kepustakaan, dengan menganalisis berbagai literatur terkait pengembangan kurikulum dan pendidikan agama Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kurikulum PAI yang ideal harus mempertimbangkan keseimbangan antara penguasaan materi ajar dan pembentukan karakter peserta didik. Pendekatan berbasis kompetensi, yang mencakup aspek kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik, disarankan untuk diimplementasikan dalam pengembangan kurikulum. Penelitian ini juga menyoroti pentingnya penerapan teknologi dalam pendidikan untuk menciptakan pengalaman belajar yang lebih interaktif. Kesimpulannya, pengembangan kurikulum PAI perlu terus disesuaikan dengan dinamika sosial dan budaya untuk membekali peserta didik dengan keterampilan yang diperlukan dalam menghadapi tantangan kontemporer dan memiliki keterampilan yang diperlukan dalam dunia modern.
