Published: January 2025

Canggu Village, located in Badung Regency, Bali, is a popular tourist destination known for its beach and nightlife, which has led to rapid tourism development. This growth has both positive and negative impacts, including traffic congestion and uncontrolled construction. To address these issues, this study analyzes the spatial planning of Canggu Village, focusing on accessibility, connectivity, interaction, and intelligibility. The aim of this analysis is to be able to produce output values ​​for aspects of the level of effectiveness of spatial planning which in the future can be used as a reference for providing recommendations for more appropriate village tourism development so that tourism development and community residential needs can still stand side by side. Using a quantitative-experimental approach and Space Syntax analysis via the DepthmapX application, the research finds: (a) low to moderate local connectivity (average 2.46) with limited intersections; (b) relatively low local integration (mean 1.04), requiring more effort for movement; (c) high intelligibility (R² = 0.87722), allowing effective navigation; and (d) numerous minor roads emerging from major routes, creating an accessible spatial structure. This raises questions about the factors influencing connectivity amid unplanned development. Suggested development plan according to research results are: 1) Improving Connectivity in Local Areas (intersection/direct routes); 2) Boosting Integration Between Tourism Zones; 3) Optimizing navigation; 4) Tourism Supporting Infrastructure Development; 5) Involvement of Technology and Smart Tourism.

Published: January 2025

Medicine is one of the most important spheres of public life and all the processes taking place in the medical industry acquire linguistic expression. Modern realities reflected in the language of medicine convey, among other things, the peculiarities of their perception by the native speaker of a particular language, are fixed at a sub-standard lexical level, nominating categories and phenomena significant to society. One of these categories - vivid and capacious - is the linguistic image of a doctor. The article considers the surgeon’s linguistic and cultural type, formed on the basis of materials from substandard lexicographic sources and texts of naive discourse, namely English-language and Russian-language medical forums and social media pages. The actual research material is 24 substandard lexical units selected by continuous sampling from current substandard lexicographic sources of English and Russian, as well as 138 messages recorded on the pages of the relevant Internet resources. The authors focus on identifying the basic and additional semantic characteristics of substandard lexical units that nominate the surgeon/хирург concept at the level of English and Russian-language dictionaries of substandard vocabulary, as well as updating the selected lexical units on the pages of medical forums and social networks. The manifestation of some and the irrelevance of other additional semantic characteristics at the level of naive medical discourse allows us to present the key features of the image in question in the traditions of substandard Russian and English. The authors attempted to reveal and describe the image of the surgeon through the prism of its perception by representatives of the English-speaking and Russian-speaking linguistic and cultural community. The methods of lexicographic, lexicological and semantic analyses, as well as semantic interpretation, classification, quantitative calculation and the method of tabular display of the data obtained as a result of the study have used during the study.
ETHNOCULTURAL ASPECT OF SUBSTRATE TOPONYMY OF EASTERN TRANSBAIKALIA
Authors: ZHAMSARANOVA R.G.
Published: January 2025

The toponymy of Eastern Transbaikalia is distinguished by the presence of an identified and described state of toponymic substrate layers, associated, among other things, with the Dagur substrate. When describing Dagur-language toponyms in the toponymy of Eastern Transbaikalia, research attention is focused on information of ethnocultural origin, namely, the presence of towns/fortifications according to the results of the regional toponymy. Tasks of a particular nature are attempts to describe the historical and ethnographic aspects of Dagur toponyms, thereby connecting both the meaning of the studied toponyms with historical realities, and a kind of “reconstruction” of the historical past of the peoples of historical Dauria through toponymy, starting with the concept of "Dauria". In this regard, we connect both the meaning of the studied toponyms with historical realities, and by "reconstructing" the historical past of the peoples of historical Dauria through toponymy, starting with the concepts of "Dauria", "Selenga Dauria", 'Nerchinsk Dauria". Firstly, the etymologies of a number of oikonyms have been given, which in lexico-semantic terms are directly related to the naming of settlements from the vocabulary of the Dagur language - tors 'village, village' and "remaining" in the name Taras(s) in the works of historians and archaeologists; kotun 'city' in the Dagur language in general. This appellative of the Dagur language is an appellative of common Mongolian origin, having parallels in all Mongolian languages: hot 'I 1) city. 2) khoton, a group of yurts. 3) camp; cattle yard’ /Mong./; khoto I ‘city’ /Bur./. Secondly, both documents of archival origin, indicating various kinds of morphological rearrangements of oikonyms, and information representing the ethnocultural specificity and local history value of toponyms introduced into scientific circulation. Thirdly, the results of the description of a number of oikonyms, nominatively related in lexico-semantic terms to the Dagur-language names of fortified fortifications or "towns", reveal the ambiguity of understanding the so-called a "nomadic civilization" that had both cities and fortifications in its centuries-old practice.
COMMUNICATIVE INTENTIONS, GENRES AND STRATEGIES:DELIMITATION OF CONCEPTS AND CLASSIFICATIONS
Authors: SHELESTYUK E.V. , VARLAMOVA A.S.
Published: January 2025

The concepts of speech intention, speech genre and speech strategy are related, although they are used in different linguistic subdisciplines: psycholinguistics, stylistics, pragmalinguistics. Intention is a predisposition of an individual’s consciousness to an utterance as an expression of psychological content in their consciousness. Intentions can be conscious or unconscious and revealed through intent analysis. Speech genre is a stable structure of an utterance or text, characterized by thematic and compositional integrity, which presupposes a certain type of communicative situation and relates to a certain functional style of speech. Speech genres are divided into dialogic, monologue and polylogue. Communicative strategies are defined as specific ways of speech behavior based on prediction and control, which are used to achieve communicative goals. The article considers the classification of speech strategies based on the intentional nature of their application and impact on the addressee. The classification of emotive strategies includes those based on positive and negative emotional arousal of the addressee. Relatively positive strategies are subdivided into gratification (support, "positive key", populism, "we" strategy, compliment and sycophancy) and fascination (demonstrating charm, charisma, confidence, nobility, high achievements and qualities, aesthetics and beauty, status, rank, superiority, strength, power, luxury, unusualness, mystery, inspiring awe, entrancement, "life on the edge" behaviour, scandalous behaviour, dramatization). Relatively negative strategies are divided into denigration (discrediting, compromising, defamation, demonization, humiliation, discrimination, ignoring, sabotaging, open negative reaction, moral destruction), frustration (comparison of resources not in favor of the addressee, negative forecasts, escalating negative emotions, shocking with negative facts) and provocation (arousal of addressee’s negative emotions, doubting their abilities and qualities, imposing an image of the addressee that is desirable for the manipulator, inciting a conflict, temptation, forming a sense of guilt, using talkativeness, conceit, creating situations without choice, scandalization, jesting or being cynical).

The construction industry increasingly recognises sustainable construction as a series of activities aimed at integrating eco-friendly resources into building processes to achieve environmental sustainability. Despite its potential, adoption remains constrained by various challenges. This study seeks to identify cost-related barriers to sustainable construction and recommend strategies to address them. A quantitative approach was employed, involving the distribution of questionnaires to targeted respondents within the Johor Bahru construction sector. Feedback was obtained from 63 participants, highlighting perspectives on the benefits, cost barriers, and potential solutions. The findings highlight key benefits of sustainable construction, including reduced utility costs and improved energy efficiency. The significant barriers include perceived risks, high initial investment costs, limited capital, and lack of professional expertise. Respondents also indicated that increased government investment is a crucial measure to overcome these challenges. The study concludes that addressing these barriers is essential for advancing sustainable construction practices in Johor Bahru and fostering broader adoption within Malaysia’s construction industry.

Authors: Abdul Samat Norhanim , Locke Terry , Aitken Viv
Published: January 2025

This research aims at determining the effects of the process drama on non-verbal communication behaviour of ESL learners in secondary school (SS group) and at a university (TI group). Six participants, three from each group were examined as focus participants and their non-verbal behaviours, including movements and facial expressions were studied. According to the findings, students in the TI group had better levels of non-verbal communication than those in the SS group. Additionally, these participants thought they displayed a wider variety of non-verbal actions. The findings also revealed that participants from the university group had higher self-reported non-verbal communication ratings than those in the secondary school and that the former perceived themselves as using more non-verbal behaviours than the latter. The study also identified some similarities in the non-verbal behaviours of both groups, such as maintaining eye contact while speaking. However, some contradictions were found between self-reported data and their actual behaviour. The study suggests that engaging in process drama could enhance learners’ non-verbal communication skills. The study also concludes that process drama improves the non-verbal skills, which help in improving the self-esteem and confidence of the learners of both learners from the different educational levels.

questão da identidade nacional no romance histórico As minas de Prata, de José de Alencar
Authors: Giacomassi Priscila Célia
Published: January 2025

O objetivo deste artigo é dar destaque a personagens e aspectos específicos da trama de As Minas de Prata (1865), de José de Alencar, que apontam para a questão da identidade nacional no Brasil do século XIX. O tempo da escrita e o tempo narrado não são os mesmos, uma vez que Alencar busca inspiração na Bahia do século XVII para ambientar seu romance. O pano de fundo da trama corresponde ao período em que o Brasil colônia estava sob domínio espanhol, mais especificamente durante a invasão holandesa. O enredo gira em torno de Inácio, herói romântico idealizado e cheio de virtudes, que assume a função de defender a pátria brasileira contra a invasão holandesa, colocando-a sempre acima de seus interesses pessoais. Estes, no caso, consistem em conquistar sua amada, Inesita, e a busca incansável pelas famosas minas de prata. A base que tinha para tal missão era a rota deixada por seu pai, Robério Dias, o qual não havia sido bem-sucedido nessa empreitada anos antes. Em meio às peripécias e aventuras homéricas do protagonista, a caracterização alencariana de outros personagens periféricos deixa vislumbrar, ainda que de forma estereotipada e até mesmo preconceituosa, um possível perfil de brasileiro. Fazendo uso do passado histórico e manipulando-o de modo idealizado, o livro reflete o esforço do projeto romântico de forjar uma identidade para o país recém-formado após a independência. Ao mesmo tempo, expõe o propósito político que subjaz à obra o qual visava à garantia da unidade e governabilidade nacional.
Palavras-chave: José de Alencar. As minas de Prata. Romance histórico. Identidade nacional. Romantismo.
Tipologia das personagens, pacto narrativo ambíguo e contiguidade de universos narrativos em Nocturno de Chile de Roberto Bolaño
Authors: Cavaliere Mauro
Published: January 2025

A consagração do romance como género literário por excelência, desde o realismo do século XIX, habituou-nos à presença de personagens inventadas. A personagem referencial, habitual em muitos géneros literários desde a Antiguidade até ao Romantismo, sofre, durante um século, uma espécie de ocultação, de marginalização, de desaparecimento. Com a literatura pós-moderna, esta mesma personagem parece revitalizada, quando não protagonista, em vários subgéneros literários, incluindo o romance histórico pós-moderno, a autoficção, a história ficcionada, a biografia ficcionada, etc. Mesmo em romances de difícil atribuição genérica, o leitor depara-se com personagens cujos nomes denotam, ou talvez apenas evoquem, algo conhecido no universo extraliterário. Além disso, a tipologia das personagens pode revelar-se extremamente mais complexa, constando de uma variedade tipológica que vai muito mais para além das inventadas e referenciais. O romance que me proponho analisar aqui, Nocturno de Chile, de Roberto Bolaño, é um excelente exemplo da variedade tipológica das personagens. Neste sentido, depois de tentar propor uma taxonomia das mesmas, sugerirei algumas hipóteses interpretativas sobre algumas das opções onomásticas do autor e o questionamento das interpretações correntes sobre uma das personagens. As considerações conclusivas serão dedicadas a algumas reflexões sobre as repercussões que estas escolhas podem ter no pacto narrativo proposto neste romance e, de um modo mais geral, na literatura pós-moderna e nos seus subgéneros típicos.
Descending necrotizing mediastinitis – a surgical view
Authors: Šafránek Jarmil
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a relatively uncommon but serious type of inflammation. Even today, the mortality is around 20%. An overview of DNM issues, recent literature and clinical practice of our department is presented.
Anatomy and etiology: The cause is the descent of an originally oropharyngeal infection from the deep neck space into the mediastinum.
Therapy: Treatment takes place in an intensive care department, with a combination of antibiotics. Elimination of the neck source of inflammation is a prerequisite. The type of surgical drainage depends on the stage and extent of mediastinal involvement. Cervicomediastinal, mediastinothoracic, or cervicomediastinothoracic “Rendezvous” drainage are options.
Conclusion: The basis of DNM treatment is adequate surgical drainage, but interdisciplinary care (surgeon, anesthesiologist, ENT and dental surgeon) is a necessary condition.
Deep neck infections – case reports
Authors: Amirkhanian Edgar , Kostlivý Tomáš , Hauer Lukáš , Šafránek Jarmil , Slouka David
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Deep neck infections represent severe inflammatory involvement of defined fascial spaces of the neck and are potentially life-threatening diseases. The etiology is most commonly odontogenic or tonsillogenic. The main complications are mediastinitis, septic shock and upper airway obstruction. Treatment is based on the administration of intravenous antibiotics and, in indicated cases, surgical drainage of abscess sites.
Case report 1: A 7-year-old girl was treated by a general practitioner for acute tonsil­litis. CT scan with contrast medium was indicated due to worsening of the condition and neck movement. A large retropharyngeal abscess was not reliably found from the external approach, so the procedure was extended to tonsillectomy and transoral drain­age. The cause was probably a multilocular abscess with rigid membranous septa.
Case report 2: A 65-year-old man with diabetes mellitus presents with odynophagia and infiltrate of the left side of the neck. CT scan showed a phlegmon in the left carotid space. Surgery was indicated after 24 hrs of ineffective conservative treatment. During the operation, extensive formed abscess lesions were found and drained.
Case report 3: A 60-year-old woman was treated as an outpatient for tonsillitis, then at the regional ENT department with an incipient epiglottitis, and finally at a tertiary department with a diagnosis of deep neck infection extending from the epiglottis to the hyoid according to imaging examinations. Peroperative findings revealed even larger extent of abscess that extended down to the jugulum.
Case report 4: A 57-year-old patient with peritonsillar abscess treated by incision and antibiotics in the regional ENT department. Despite the treatment instituted, the condition progressed and a parapharyngeal abscess developed, which had to be managed by tonsillectomy and external incision at a tertiary department, including postoperative intubation and several days of hospitalization in an ICU ward.
Conclusion: Medical history, otorhinolaryngological examination and early head and neck contrast enhanced CT are essential in the diagnosis of deep cervical inflamma­tion. Modern therapeutic algorithms including a multidisciplinary approach, repeated CT scans and surgical revisions lead to reduced mortality, including patients with mediastinitis.

Authors: Fuentes Jaime , Turnbull Bernardo , Ruíz Altamirano Rosalinda , Reynoso González Óscar Ulises , Montes de Oca Mayagoitia Sandra
Published: January 2025

Childhood obesity is a global public health issue, for which Mexico reports exceptionally high rates. This study aimed to develop and provide psychometric evidence for two scales: one that assesses preconceptions about obesity and another that evaluates, weight-related problems in Mexican preadolescents. A non-probabilistic sample of 247 overweight or obese fifth and sixth-grade primary school students from Mexico City was used (X̅ =10.40, SD=0.65 years of age, X̅ =23.61, SD=3.11 BMI). After exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, both scales demonstrated evidence of structural validity. The scales and subscales achieved moderate internal consistency and concurrent validity by being significantly associated with health-related quality of life. The results highlight the importance of addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of childhood overweight and obesity. The weight-related problem and the attitudes and preconceptions towards obesity scales are valuable tools for future research and intervention programs designed to improve the well-being of overweight or obese children in Mexico.

В данной статье раскрывается сущность кооперативной коммуникации в процессе иноязычного образования в высшей школе и необходимость развития умений работы в команде для удовлетворения общественного спроса. Авторы обосновывают роль технологии Cooperative learning (обучения в сотрудничестве) в создании благоприятной среды для реализации кооперативной коммуникации на занятиях со студентами-будущими учителями иностранного языка по дисциплинам «Профессионально-ориентированный иностранный язык» и «Специальный профессиональный иностранный язык». Данная технология считается необходимой для достижения индивидуальных и групповых целей обучения и предполагает возможность для поддерживающей, взаимозависимой и взаимовыгодной образовательной среды. Авторы определяют важность мотивационной составляющей процесса обучения иностранному языку, в том числе при групповой работе. В статье представляются результаты экспериментального обучения по формированию умений кооперативно-коммуникативной компетенции студентов 3-го года обучения с применением популярных среди студентов мобильных приложений в условиях смешанного обучения, таких как Google Tools, WhatsApp и онлайн платформы Kahoot.it в последовательности понятийно-когнитивной, информационно-аккумулятивной, прагматико-репрезентирующей и контекстно-коммуникативной стадий. Была предпринята попытка развить у студентов умения кооперативной стратегии в коммуникации как установление контакта, поддержание разговора, регуляция(предотвращение) конфликта, манипуляция ради взаимной выгоды. Онлайн игровая платформа Kahoot.it является увлекательным средством для проверки усвоенного материала в форме групповой работы, мобильные приложения Google Documents, Google Presentation открывают возможности для совместного создания и редактирования текстовых файлов в режиме онлайн для выполнения группового задания после обсуждения ролей и разделения ответственной части групповой работы.

Мақалада цифрлық мәдениетті қалыптастырудың өзектілігі және болашақ мамандарды даярлаудағы цифрлық мәдениеттің алатын орны қарастырылады. Авторлар болашақ мамандардың цифрлық мәдениетін қалыптастырудың факторы ретінде толеранттылықтың құрылымын зерделейді. Қазіргі өндірістегі цифрлық экономиканы өркендетудегі толеранттылықтың маңызы «кәсіби мәдениеттілік» пен «цифрлық мәдениеттілік» ұғымдарымен талқыланады. Студенттерге жүргізілген «цифрлық мәдениет деңгейлері» бойынша сауалнама нәтижелері білім беру саласындағы ғалымдардың зерттеулеріне сәйкестендіріліп, материалдық, символдық, рухани деңгейлерге топтастырылып көрсетіледі. Сауалнаманың нәтижесінде келесідей сұрақтар шешіледі: 1) Цифрлық мәдениеттің материалдық деңгейіндегі әртүрлі цифрлық құрылғылар туралы; 2) Цифрлық мәдениеттің символдық деңгейіндегі бағдарламалау тілдері туралы; 3) Цифрлық мәдениеттің рухани деңгейіндегі цифрландырудың ұлттық, халықаралық, этникалық құндылықтары туралы. Зерттеу тобына Ж. Ташенев атындағы университеттің «Педагогика және психология» (10 студент) және «Бастауышта оқыту педагогикасы мен әдістемесі» мамандықтарының (58 студент) 3 курс студенттері қатысады. Мамандықтардың ерекшеліктеріне сәйкес цифрлық мәдениетті толеранттылықтың «түсіну», «өзара түсіну», «ынтымақтастық» құрылымдары бойынша цифрлық мәдениет деңгейлерінде (материалдық, символдық, рухани) негізделеді. Авторлар толеранттылықты болашақ мамандардың цифрлық мәдениетін қалыптастырудың факторы ретінде цифрлық мәдениет деңгейлерімен тұжырымдар жасайды: 1) Мамандықтардың ерекшеліктеріне сәйкес «цифрлық мәдениетті қалыптастыруды» ақпараттық-коммуникациялық технологиялар салаларымен интеграциялау; 2) «Педагогика және психология» және «Бастауышта оқыту педагогикасы мен әдістемесі» мамандықтары бойынша цифрлық мәдениетті материалдық деңгейде сенсорлық экрандар, смартфондар, камералар, бейне проекторлар мен бейне бақылау жүйелері т.б. цифрлық құрылғыларды кәсіби деңгейде қолдану; 3) Болашақ мамандарды даярлауда цифрлық мәдениеттің символдық деңгейін процедуралық, модульдік және құрылымдық бағдарламалаудан объектіге бағытталған бағдарламалау тілдеріне сәйкестендіріп оқыту; 4) Цифрлық мәдениеттің рухани деңгейінде цифрландырудың ұлттық, халықаралық, этникалық құндылықтарын жүйелі түрде автоматтандыру.

Мақала болашақ бастауыш сынып мұғалімдерінің креативтілігін дамытудың бүгінгі деңгейі мен маңыздылығы, сондай-ақ болашақ мұғалімдердің жаңашылдықтарды игеріп қана қоймай, жалпы қоғамда, соның ішінде білім беру жүйесіндегі жылдам өзгерістерге дайын болу мүмкіндіктері егжей-тегжей қарастырылады. Өйткені, мұндай өзгерістер мұғалімнің жеке тұлғасының өзгеруін, үнемі өзін жетілдіруін, шығармашылық белсенділігінің шыңдалуын талап етеді. Зерттеу барысында цифрландыру, жаһандану, қолданбалы дағдыларды дамыту және үнемі жаңартылып отыратын білім беру стандарттары жағдайында болашақ мұғалімдерді даярлауда педагогтердің креативтілік құзыреттілігін жетілдіруі, өзін-өзі дамытуы, тәжірибеде қолдануға ұмтылуы, креативтілікпен жаңа идеялар іздеуі өз кәсібіне деген жауапкершілігін арттырудың жолдары қарастырылды. Креативтілік пен оның деңгейлері, креативті тұлға ұғымдарына байланысты зерттеушілердің еңбектеріне талдау жасалды. Болашақ мұғалімнің креативтілігін дамытудың шарттары ретінде өзін-өзі дамытудың жоғары деңгейіне жету, креативті ортада тәжірибе алмасу, педагогтерге қолдау көрсету жолдары ғылыми тұрғыда дәлелденді. Болашақ мамандардың креативтілігін дамытуға негіз болған Роберт Дилтстің «Армандаушы, реалист және сыншы» әдісін қолданудың тиімділігін анықтауда Дельфи әдісі, Эдвард де Бононың латеральді ойлау (бүйірлік ойлау), Уильям Гордонның «Синектика», өнертапқыштық есептерді шешу теориясы сияқты тиімді әдіс-тәсілдердің сараланды. Сонымен қатар, болашақ бастауыш сынып мұғалімдерінің креативтілігін анықтау үшін қолданылған Эстанислао Бахрахтың бірнеше техникасы көрсетіліп, қорытындысы жасалды. Әдістеме негізінде мәселеге басқа қырынан қарауға, ұғымды ассоциациялау арқылы терең түсініп, әрекет етуге, креативті ойлауға кезеңдермен жетуге үйрету деңгейлері анықталды.
Сондай-ақ, білім алушылардың креативтілігін жетілдіруде өзін-өзі дамыту, өзін-өзі жүзеге асыру, шығармашылыққа ізденімпаздықпен ұмтылудың маңыздылығы айқындалды.
