Adapting Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Autistic Adults: Lessons from Plymouth’s NHS Talking Therapies and Autism Spectrum Service
Authors: Trimmer Hope , Heintz Sonja , Williams Sarah
Published: November 2023

The prevalence of mental health conditions is high for autistic adults. Yet, the IAPT manual states that referral rates into NHS Talking Therapies Services (NHS-TTS) do not reflect this nationally. Non-adapted treatment has been identified as a key barrier to accessing these services. It is therefore imperative clinicians adapt to the needs of autistic individuals to make treatment accessible and effective. However, there is limited research in the field, especially for low-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy (LICBT). This service evaluation explores adapted LICBT for autistic adults within Plymouth’s NHS-TTS and Autism Service. It investigated clinical outcomes of adapted group and one-to-one LICBT with 84 participants. It hypothesised that psychometric measures for anxiety and depression would be lowered on treatment completion, whilst exploring whether either intervention showed a greater reduction. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants from the sample to gather perspectives on what aspects of treatment were favourable or require improvement. A factorial ANOVA revealed that psychometric measures reduced on completion across both interventions, with a greater decrease for one-to-one treatment and the anxiety measure. In addition, four themes and nine subthemes emerged following a thematic analysis, which focus on different aspects of treatment, such as content, structure, interaction, and barriers to engagement. Findings indicated that adapted LICBT was associated with lower anxiety and depression for autistic adults. This consequently has implications for improving the current LICBT provisions being offered to autistic adults within the NHS-TTS.
Effects of a brief online mindfulness intervention on cognition and affect in university students: A randomized longitudinal design
Authors: Thomson Jordan Stewart Hunter , Van Hedger Stephen Charles
Published: November 2023

Dispositional mindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been extensively linked with improved cognition, affect, and wellbeing. Variability in nature and method of MBIs and mindfulness practice necessitate a consistent standard for research and applied purposes. Moreover, traditional MBIs are lengthy and resource intensive. Brief and online MBIs are effective, representing a bridge into more extensive practice – but questions of mindfulness-specific effects and methodological variety linger. The present experiment used a randomized longitudinal design to assess effects of a 31-day, 15-minute daily mindfulness program on a battery of cognitive, affective, and individual difference measures in a sample of university students. Results indicated that, over the course of the study, the MBI group found their intervention less challenging, more enjoyable, more relaxing, and more useful compared to the podcast control group. MBI subjects also increased in state and trait mindfulness following the intervention relative to the podcast group. However, both groups showed comparable improvements in cognition and affect. Taken together, the results support prior work suggesting benefits from brief online mindfulness training – however, they also suggest more work is needed to make strong claims about mindfulness-specific far-transfer effects.
Factors That Influence Resilience in Trauma-Exposed Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Internally Displaced Persons: A Systematic Review
Authors: McNeil Leslie Karen
Published: November 2023

Background: The global refugee crisis has continued to increase exponentially in the past decade and has left many families with psychological scars that are often perpetuated by new, overwhelming, and rigid governments. Despite this, many of these individuals demonstrate extraordinary resilience. This review aims to identify protective factors that foster resilience within these individuals, so that these factors might be implemented into interventions designed for refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced persons in countries around the world.

Published: November 2023

Eucalyptus globulus Labill. is of great interest to the pulp industry. However, the species is highly susceptible to leaf spot caused by Teratosphaeria nubilosa and has a low rooting capacity. In order to overcome these limitations, INIA has been implementing a genetic improvement program for this species and the generation of interspecific hybrids. The strategy is based on the selection of E. globulus clones with high precocity or foliage turnover, since the adult foliage is more tolerant to T. nubilosa. In addition, controlled crosses of E. globulus and E. maidenii with E. grandis are carried out to incorporate disease resistance and ease of rooting. The multiplication of the selected materials is carried out by micropropagation, but the low rooting capacity is a trait that needs improvement. The cytokines necessary for in vitro proliferation can have a negative effect on the rooting process. Benzyladenine is the most commonly used cytokine because of its low cost and easy availability, with some negative effects on rooting, while meta-topolin is a cytokine of lesser impact. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of benzyladenine and meta-topolin on the multiplication rate, rooting percentage and plantlets survival of E. globulus, E. grandis × E. globulus, and E. grandis × E. maidenii. In multiplication media, benzyladenine was supplied at 0.4 µM, while two concentrations of meta-topolin (0.4 and 2 µM) were used. Preliminary results indicated a higher multiplication rate with the inclusion of meta-topolin in both concentrations. The in vitro rooting percentage of explants treated with meta-topolin was 51% and 44%, at 0.4 and 2 µM, respectively, while with benzyladenine was lesser (37%). After 28 days post-transplanting, survival was higher in meta-topolin-derived plants. Meta-topolin improved multiplication, in vitro rooting and acclimation of plants. The use of this hormone could improve micropropagation protocols, facilitating rooting and multiplication of valuable genotypes.
Evaluation of kraft pulp, fibre and paper traits of interspecific hybrid Corymbia clones at four years
Authors: Kamalakannan Rathinam , Prasanth V. , Varghese Mohan , Rathinavelu Rajkumar
Published: November 2023

Two interspecific Corymbia hybrid clones, ITC 2081 & CH440 (Corymbia torelliana × C. citriodora subsp. variegata), were evaluated for growth, pulp, fibre and paper properties at four years in comparison to an E. camaldulensis (Ec) clone. Wood basic density and fibre traits were estimated from increment core samples and logs were chipped for evaluating pulp and paper traits. The Corymbia clones had comparable growth, but wood basic density was 12% higher than the Ec clone. The fibre traits were superior, with 24% larger fibre in the Corymbia hybrid clones, and 2% higher pulp yield (Kappa number 17) than the Ec clone. The Corymbia hybrid clones had comparable unbleached hand sheet brightness of the Ec clone but were superior in parameters like sheet stiffness, thickness, burst and tear factor. While Ec clones have attained the threshold of pulp wood traits improvement, the new Corymbia hybrids have demonstrated potential for improving the profitability of pulp industries in India.
Genomic selection in Eucalyptus globulus as an assisted selection tool for growth rate and disease resistance
Authors: González Chavez Milena , Aguilar Ignacio , Quezada Marianella , Balmelli Gustavo
Published: November 2023

The adoption of genomic selection (GS) in forest tree breeding allows shortening breeding cycles, increasing selection intensity, and improving the accuracy of breeding values, which translate into increased genetic gains. Therefore, the objective of this work was to design a breeding strategy incorporating GS in the Eucalyptus globulus improvement plan of the INIA. Using the single step genomic selection (ssGBLUP) methodology, a multi-trait model of GS was developed considering different ages of evaluation (14 and 21 months), and combination of growth traits (total height and DBH) and heteroblasty (proportion of adult foliage). The model was tested through the predictive capacity (estimated through intra-population cross-validation), the prediction bias (estimated as the regression coefficient between the reference breeding values and those predicted by the model), and the comparison between the rankings of breeding values from the conventional ABLUP and the ssGBLUP (as the proportion of common individuals in the top 10%). The heritabilities in the strict sense for all traits were high, ranging from 0.51 to 0.72. The predictive abilities of the different cross-validations by site and by trait were high, varying from 0.72 to 0.92. The model tends to slightly underestimate DBH and the proportion of adult foliage at some sites and overestimate them at others (bias between 0.88 and 1.19), and overestimate total height in all sites (bias between 0.51 and 0.68). The proportion of common individuals in the top 10% by conventional selection and GS is high for all traits (0.76 - 0.86). These results suggest that the incorporation of GS in the improvement plan of E. globulus would be efficient. It is proposed to include GS in two stages of the breeding cycle: the selection of the best parents for controlled mating, increasing the selection intensity, and the selection of individuals in the nursery, reducing the stage of field evaluation of the selected clones. This strategy will markedly reduce the selection cycle, allowing commercial clones to be obtained in half the time compared to conventional selection.

Published: November 2023

Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Ec) × E. urophylla (Eu) and reciprocal hybrid crosses were evaluated for growth and wood traits at four years at West Godavari Dt, Andhra Pradesh State located in Southern India, in relation to full and half sib progenies of pure E. camaldulensis maternal parents. Interspecific hybrid progenies had 16.6% higher average growth and 8% lower average wood basic density than pure species progeny. The interspecific hybrid progenies fibre properties viz., fibre length, fibre width, lumen diameter and fibre wall thickness were comparably higher than pure species progeny and check clones. The Ec × Eu crosses had comparable growth and wood basic density as the reciprocal hybrid progeny, but fibre length was 3.4% higher than the Eu × Ec hybrids, the values being statistically significant at p<.001 level. Analysis of variance of data was done using the 20th Edition of Genstat software (VSNi). Growth and fibre traits showed a positive relation but wood basic density showed a negative correlation (r = -0.94). There was a positive correspondence between the General Combining Ability (GCA) of pure E. camaldulensis maternal parents and their General Hybridizing Ability (GHA) for growth. The study showed that parents of Ec and Eu could be used to improve the growth and fibre traits in interspecific hybrids.
RAIZ’s eucalypt genetic improvement program: The path taken and new challenges
Authors: Araújo José , Ferreira Daniela , Gonçalves Catarina , Borralho Nuno
Published: November 2023

RAIZ is a forest and paper research institute, part of The Navigator Company, a Portuguese pulp and paper company. Its eucalypt genetic improvement program started in the mid-1980s, focused mainly on E. globulus, which is well suited to the local soil and climate conditions and has outstanding wood qualities for pulp and paper production. Initially, main selection criteria were growth, survival to drought conditions, wood density and pulp yield. Cloning was the main form to transfer results into operational plantations and, as a result, rooting ability was also a key trait for successful large-scale nursery plant production. These requirements were maintained for several decades during which the program has achieved substantial gains and the E. globulus clonal forest was a reality. Meanwhile, interspecific hybridization has been tested mainly to achieve higher drought and pest resistance. As a result, the clonal program includes several hybrids. Currently, 11 clones, including three hybrids, are in nursery large-scale production, with operational gains of 30-50% over unimproved stocks, in terms of pulp produced per hectare. In the last decade, more than 250 controlled-crosses were carried out, including 70 interspecific crosses. More than 400 new clones, including 50 hybrids, and approximately 400 seed lots, including 100 hybrids and other species lots, have been tested across over 140 sites. Advanced BLUP analysis techniques are used since mid-1990’s to support strategic planning decisions, including more than 125,000 records for survival, 85,000 records for height and diameter, 57,000 pilodyn and 6,000 NIR records, collected from 219 trials, and covering about 45,000 individual genotypes. Nevertheless, efforts to face climate changes must be intensified, especially to mitigate the effects of drought and pests that currently affect a substantial portion of the forest estate. In the last 3 years, more than 100 new genotypes were selected from hybrids progeny trials involving species such as E. grandis, E. viminalis, E. saligna, E. rudis, E. urophylla, and E. tereticornis. Their multiplication and testing are undergoing, and results are expected within 5 years. In addition, an expanded approach to further diversify and strengthen of eucalypt genetic pool is being implemented, introducing species like E. cladocalyx, E. gomphocephala, E. benthamii, E. melliodora, E. punctata, or E. dunnii, aiming to enhance resilience to environmental challenges and ensuring the sustainability of Portugal's eucalyptus forests.
Genomic-enhanced Markov causal models for predicting breeding values in forest trees

Published: November 2023

Traditionally, in forest genetic evaluations, the pedigree-based individual-tree mixed model (ABLUP) has been utilized to identify individuals with the highest breeding value (BV). The ABLUP is considered a Markov causal model as the BV of an individual is independent of all its non-descendants, conditional to including the BV of its parents. Under this model, an individual's BV is expressed as a linear regression on parental BVs, along with a Mendelian sampling term. The availability of genome-wide marker panels has led to the development of a technique known as genomic selection (GS). In forest tree breeding, the most widespread GS method is the GBLUP model, which replaces the pedigree-based genetic covariance matrix with a marker-based relatedness matrix (G-matrix) derived from genotyped individuals. The GBLUP model has demonstrated improved BV accuracy compared to the ABLUP model. However, the use of Markov causal models incorporating genomic information remains unexplored in forest tree breeding. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop and apply two new Markov causal models that substitute the “path coefficient” of the ABLUP model (which is 0.5) with an alternative coefficient, calculated using genomic information. Subsequently, we compared the performance of these new two causal models with the classical causal ABLUP and non-causal GBLUP models in terms of their predictive ability (PA) for BVs. Our investigation focused on a fourth-generation population of Eucalyptus grandis (Hill ex Maiden), comprising 3,082 genotyped trees with 14,033 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers. The study assessed six growth and wood quality traits in 1,219 trees spanning the first three generations. Progeny validation was conducted to evaluate PA, where individuals from generations 1 and 2 comprised the training set, and individuals from generation 3 constituted the validation set. Overall, the GBLUP model exhibited slightly superior predictive performance compared to the Markov causal models for most analyzed traits (with an average PA of 0.24 for causal models compared to 0.27 for GBLUP). However, when analyzing BVs of individuals from generation 4 in the greenhouse, without phenotypic data, the GBLUP model displayed greater dispersion in predicted BVs compared to those obtained through the genomic Markov causal models. The Markov causal models developed in this study appear to be more “stable”, and, due to their lower computational burden, represent a potential alternative to classical non-causal GBLUP GS model employed in forest breeding programs.
Differential photosynthetic response to short- and long-term water deficit in Eucalyptus clones and hybrids with red gums
Authors: Nión Matías , Gándara José , Ross Silvia
Published: November 2023

In Uruguay, there are more than a million hectares forested, and Eucalyptus species predominate. Drought events are becoming more frequent and affecting growth of the stands, especially during the early stages of the crop. Thus, the need arises to analyze the effects of such events on processes that determine growth, such as photosynthesis. The effect of water restriction on photosynthetic parameters was analyzed under greenhouse conditions in 6-months-old rooted cuttings of a clone of E. grandis (GG) and two hybrids with red gums: E. grandis × E. camaldulensis (GC) and E. grandis × E. tereticornis (GT). To define irrigation regimes water potential of substrate (MPa) was assessed using samples with increasing water content (%HR, w|w). Data was used to fit a water retention curve. Field’s capacity pot weight was determined on water drained pots. The control condition (WW) was established at Ψw = -0.15 MPa, while the water restricted (WR) was Ψw = -0.30 MPa. Treatments were maintained by manually water feeding for 16 weeks. Physiological parameters and photosynthetic pigments were recorded 6 and 16 weeks after water withholding to simulate short- and long-term water restriction scenarios, respectively. The following measurements were registered on current year fully expanded sun-exposed leaves: stomatal conductance (gs), maximum net assimilation rate (Amax), PSII quantum efficiency (FPSII), and proportion of chlorophyll and carotenoids in a HPLC elution (%Chl, %Carot). In the initial period, GG maintained Amax and gs between conditions. However, despite exhibiting lower gs in the restricted condition, GC maintained their Amax and GT increased in WR. There was no effect of treatment on photosynthetic pigments and energy partitioning varied little. At the end of the 16-week period, GG showed only decreased stomatal conductance values, and did not change photosynthetic pigment content nor Amax despite water restriction. Hybrids showed increasing values of FPSII, %Chl, and Amax. The PCA for long-term water restriction data showed that pigment content and FPSII may explain the increased assimilation rate of the hybrid clones under WR. Changes in water use efficiency due to higher % Chl in the restricted condition for both hybrids are discussed. There are few reports of increments in chlorophyll in Eucalyptus in drought. Recent information suggests that these types of strategies are adaptative responses that allow plants to cope with stress.
Long-term growth data of plantation-grown Eucalyptus established in south-eastern Uruguay
Authors: Mora Christian , Venturino Alejandro
Published: November 2023

Behind beef production, Eucalyptus logs oriented to kraft pulp production represent Uruguay's second-largest export product. In this context, the analysis of long-term growth data of plantation-grown Eucalyptus forests acquires a material relevance. A total of 2208 permanent plots representing longitudinal growth data of Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus maidenii, Eucalyptus dunnii, and Eucalyptus smithii trees were analyzed and modeled. The plots are part of a more extensive set established since 2012 on a forest state of over 22,000 ha planted. The selected plots were of variable shape, varying in size between 200 and 1000 m2. Both planted and coppiced areas were included. Tree-level data (diameter at the beast height and height) was measured on each plot over a different number of years. Plantation ages, at the time of measurement, ranged from 1 to 18 years. The forests were all planted for the first time under the context of degraded grasslands, where there was no other better alternative use for the land. Soils are not very deep, of medium-to-coarse texture, and have low natural fertility. The dominant land cover was grasslands. The results highlight the variability in site quality. Stand density varied between 100 and 2500 trees per ha (TPH), with a site index (SI) at base age 11 ranging between 12 and 38 m. A strong relationship between dominant height (DH) and standing volume (TV) is evident, reinforcing that SI is still a valuable quantity to represent site quality. A set of anamorphic SI curves fitted to the DH data showed that E. dunnii and E. smithii height far exceeds that of E. globulus and E. maidenii at the same age, with an average SI of 28 and 31 m, respectively. Similarly, a family of TV curves fitted to each species as a function of DH, TPH, basal area, and age showed that the implicit current annual growth (CAI), given the model form used, peaked between 7 and 9 years. Depending on the stocking and site index considered, the CAI varied; but, in all cases, the CAI of E. dunnii was the highest, followed by E. smithii, and then E. maidenii and E. globulus in descending order. As an example, for a fixed density of 1100 TPH, the peak CAI was almost 48.6 m3|ha|yr for E. dunnii (SI28), approximately 42.1 m3|ha|y for E. smithii (SI31), and 17.8-21.3 m3|ha|yr for E. maidenii and E. globulus (SI23).
Evaluation of different insecticides and application methods for control of Diloboderus abderus
Authors: Ferrer Sebastián , Ramírez Nazaret , Benítez Juan Ignacio
Published: November 2023

Diloboderus abderus (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae), commonly known as "isoca", is an insect that lives in the natural field, fulfilling the function of recycling nutrients. It is an important soil pest for crops such as corn, wheat, oats and natural and cultivated grasses in countries such as Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and southern Brazil. In the last five years, Montes del Plata has recorded significant losses in young plantations associated with soils with a history of farms, mainly in the southwest region of the country. This damage is associated with the larval phase of the isoca, which develops in the A horizon of the soil, feeding on the roots of the recently planted eucalyptus seedlings, which can cause the death of the tree. For this reason, the objective of this work was to evaluate the control effectiveness of three active ingredients (Imidacloprid, Acetamiprid and Thiamethoxan), and the best application method (foliar, surface application to the soil and root immersion) that would allow protecting the plants in their critical stage. The evaluation was carried out on Eucalyptus plants in pots where three stage-three isocas larvae were placed. After 30 days, the plants were dug up and plant survival, root damage, and larval mortality were evaluated. The results indicated that the three active ingredients were efficient in control, with survival rates of isoca of less than 30%. Thiamethoxan was the most efficient with 100% control of isocas, regardless of the application method. The foliar application method showed the best results with isocas survival rates of less than 15%, regardless of the active ingredient applied. Although it is necessary to continue the research by evaluating different site conditions, application times and doses of active ingredients, the results achieved indicate that the application of Thiamethoxan on the plantation line is the profitable alternative to mitigate losses.
Verevochnaya or Covidnaya Istoriya: Desemantization of the Word Istoria in Different Discourse Types
Authors: Bazarzhapova Altana D.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the description of the communicative behavior of the word istoria, which, as a result of the process of resemantization, is used in the “non-dictionary” meaning: ‘a thing/something’ and widely functions in modern everyday Russian speech in various types of discourse. The study was carried out on the material of 3 sources: the oral subcorpus of the National Corpus of the Russian Language, the corpus of Russian everyday speech “One Speech Day” and separate recordings of the surrounding speech (from everyday conversations, interviews, lectures, etc.). The problem of the functioning of the bleached word istoria is considered in several aspects: the dependence of such usages on the type of discourse and the characteristics of the speaker (age, professional activity, level of speech competence–LSC), as well as the ability of the resemantized word istoria to characterize an idiolect. It turned out that the word istoria with “empty” semantics plays a role of a multifunctional tool serving various types of discourse in modern Russian speech, and its active use is a result of saving speech efforts and does not characterize any particular social group of speakers. Such use has the character of an individual speech trait: in some cases, the word istoria acquires a status of a “parasite word” and indicates a low LSC of a native speaker, and in other situations, it indicates the desire of a speaker with a high LSC to establish an easy communication style.
Paralanguage in Natural Language Texts
Authors: Kreydlin Grigory
Published: November 2023

In oral communication natural language is always combined with nonverbal signs of various nature, in particular paralanguage signs. The present paper describes usages and functions of lexical paralanguage units in Russian texts, mainly texts of anecdotes, where these units serve as a key to comic effect. The article analyzes examples of nonverbal imitation of speech pathology and ethnic, social, professional and other peculiarities of human communicative behavior. The paper describes some functions of paralinguistic signs such as their ability to imitate specific acts of pronunciation, to substitute taboo speech units or to denote other real actions. The authors pay attention to the form, meaning and usage of paralanguage units in Russian. Some of the units regarded are supplied with semantic descriptions and with descriptions of spheres of their usage. The article establishes syntactic function of paralanguage units in dialogues. Paralinguistic units constitute the class of so-called signalatives, which do not denote propositions but indicate peoples’ emotions or their mental activity
“Regional Linguobotanical Dictionary with Ethnocultural Data” as a Source for Creating a Galery of Phytoportraits and Fitosketches
Authors: Borisova Оlga G. , Litvinenko Dariya A.
Published: November 2023

The article demonstrates the possibility to create multidimensional studies: phytosketches and phytoportraits, dedicated to the analysis of plant images on the basis of dictionary entries of “Regional Linguobotanical Dictionary with Ethnocultural Data”, which the author is currently working on. The article introduces a term and elaborates on its distinction from the term phytoportrait, as well as formulates their main parameters. We suggest a phytoportrait model, including the following headings: introduction, dialect names of a plant/tree/shrub in the Kuban dialects, hyper-hyponymic paradigm, dialect phytomorphonyms, etymology (including folk), word-formation nest, figurative potential of a phytonym, use in everyday life, application in medicine, rites and religious festivals, folklore and folk omens, connected to plants. The maximum and minimum number of headings for each genre is indicated. The article shows the expediency of including illustrative material into the phytoportraits and phytosketches, which are either recordings of dialect speakers' live speech, presented by means of low-literate writing, or illustrative examples from ethnographic materials, the orthography of the source being preserved. The article presents one phytosketch “Zinnia” and phytoportrait “Pumpkin”, which describe the realia of the Kuban flora and their dialectal names.
Is There a Phenomenon of Colloquial Stress?
Authors: Kalenchuk Maria L.
Published: November 2023

The appearance of the facts of spoken phonetics is due to the situation of speech, first of all, the inclination to the informal, non-public, relaxed, routine nature of communication. Is it possible to talk about conversational accents? It is plausible to recognize the presence of the phenomenon of conversational stress only when the same person's speech changes the place of stress in the same words and word forms in case the communication situation changes. There are situations in which the speaker ceases to control their speech fully, and, to a certain extent, relaxes. For instance, any educated person knows that the dictionaries require the pronunciation of balovát’, vkliuchít, zhaliuzí, kúchonnyi, sv’ókla, and the person pronounces it when the quality of their speech is important to them and others. But at other times a person can afford to say bálovat’, vkliúchit, zháliuzi, kuchónnyi, sveklá. A native speaker feels that these options do not contradict the laws of the system and are about to become normative, and allows them in the speech. It appears that many new accentological phenomena are tested in colloquial speech before acquiring the status of a full-fledged norm. It seems that the distribution of such variants is the implementation of the opposition codified - colloquial.
Phraseological Units From Orthoepic Point of View: Stress Variation and Norm Change
Authors: Korobeynikova Tatiana N.
Published: November 2023

It is believed that words in phraseological units preserve old variant of stress, which is supported by orthoepic dictionaries. For example, in the phraseological unit voleyu sudeb, the obsolete variant sudéb is recommended instead of the modern. However, the results of the experiment with speakers of standard pronunciation show that many recommendations given by the dictionaries should be changed since some phraseological units contain words with stress variation. The experiment includes 28 phraseological units which were divided into 5 groups: 1) word stress in phraseological units and in free phrases is different in the dictionaries, but the same in the speech; 2) word stress in phraseological units and in free phrases is different in the dictionaries, but the stress in phraseological units varies; 3) dictionaries show word stress variability in free phrases and only one variant in phraseological units, but in speech variability is present in both cases; 4) word stress in phraseological units and in free phrases is different in the dictionaries as is in speech; 5) word forms are typically used in phraseological units, the stress could be influenced by meaning associations. The article contains the analyses of each group.
Ya Oru s Tebya (“I Yell of You”): A New Guise of a Well-known Verb
Authors: Leontyeva Tatyana V. , Shchetinina Anna V.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the emergence of neologisms in the Russian language through semantic derivation. The paper presents the case study of the verb orat’ (to yell), which illustrates the appearance of slang lexical-semantic variants of the word. The verb denoting screaming, crying and swearing in Russian literary language now functions in new meanings: ‘laugh’ and ‘experience indignation’. Constructions with this predicate mark the psychological state of a person (fun, joy, admiration, surprise or indignation), which has features of laughter Ya oru (I yell). The prominent specialty of this case is that the combinability of the verb does not correspond to the literary language norm. It has been established that in phrases formed according to a new control model, the new verb orat’ modifies nouns in the genitive case with the prepositions “s” “of” and “from”, while the genitive has the meaning of reason. A dependent word can be a designation of a person Ya oru s tebya / s druga / s Lekhi (I yell of you / of a friend / of Lyokha). It is noted that the slang verb orat’ began to be widely used around 2016, primarily in written formats of Internet communication, mainly among young people, although it can also be used in oral communication. The study reveals that the verb orat’ is mostly used in 1st person, singular (oru), however, the verb implements a complete inflectional paradigm in speech. The article gives assessment of derivational potential of the jargonism orat’ in the span of 5–6 years of functioning, the slang verb orat' acquired derivatives and became part of fixed expressions: proorat', ornut', orevo, orat' v golosinu.
Features of Epithets in K. M. Simonov's Poetry: Grammatical and Semantic Transformations
Authors: Korzhova Inessa N.
Published: November 2023

The article discusses some types of epithets characteristic of the idiostyle of K. M. Simonov, the poet. A productive type for the author is the hypallage, which serves as a means of creating new, more fractional names for objects and phenomena. At the same time, hypallages puts forward categories that are significant for Simonov. Thus, many transferred epithets are associated with temporal and spatial division and have mythopoetic origins. Another type of epithets in Simonov's poetry is associated with the use of relative adjectives in structures with impaired lexical compatibility. Such adjectives have an ambiguous grammatical nature. A number of them continue to point to the attitude, but take in the author's assessment of the phenomena and appeal to a complex network of associations. Others improve and approach the metaphor. Finally, a special group consists of detailed epithets expressed by a participial turnover. Reliance on idioms, inclusion in a homogeneous series with simple epithets, grammatical transformation, punctuation and graphic design emphasize integrity of the phrase. The identified types of epithets are intended to be a means of subject and conceptual concretization, to formalize the idea of a special subclass of objects and phenomena. In some cases, epithets contribute to the objectification of psychological analysis.
The Technical University Teacher: What Do Students Value?
Authors: Polyakova T. Yu.
Published: November 2023

At present, according to Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly our country has set the task of reforming higher education based on the synthesis of the best practices of the Soviet educational system and the experience of recent decades. This increases the responsibility of technical university teachers, whose competencies have been determined in recent years on the basis of different scientific approaches. In this regard, the problem of identifying the teachers’ qualities that are significant for students is becoming especially relevant.

In order to solve the problem, the research of students’ essays obtained as a result of the International Essay Contest in English “My University Engineering Teacher I will Never Forget” was undertaken. The contest was organized by Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI) in 2021-22. The hypothesis of the research suggested that the personality traits of the technical university teacher are valued by students not lower than their professional competencies.

In order to achieve the goal and verify the hypothesis, four tasks were set and solved during the research: the students’ opinions on the role of the teacher were revealed; the professional competencies of the teacher that are significant for students were determined; the personality traits of the teacher that are significant for students were determined; the significance of the teacher’s professional competencies and personality traits for students was compared. The research methodology provided for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the students’ essays including their content analysis.

Dissolution of a marriage due to a court decision results in several other legal consequences, including the imposition of the obligation to pay 'iddah, mut'ah, maskan, kiswah, hadhanah, and child maintenance to be borne by the husband. This paper aims to find out how when a court decision is not carried out voluntarily and find a solution so that the decision is not only a pseudo-justice but can guarantee the justice and benefits of the decision in real terms. Based on the author's analysis, it can be concluded that if the decision regarding the ex-husband's obligations is not carried out voluntarily, an application for the execution of the decision can be submitted to the Religious Court which examines the case. The request can be based on the procedural law of the general court, namely article 197 HIR or 207-208 RBg. This effort can be carried out by the ex-wife even though the results are based on the assessment of the panel of judges who examined the case.

This study investigated the degradation kinetics and stability of rosuvastatin calcium (RSV) in acidic and alkaline solutions at two different doses, 5 mg and 10 mg. The degradation reaction was characterised by the activation energy (Ea), enthalpy change (ΔH≠a), and entropy change (ΔS≠a). The degradation of RSV in acidic solution followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with observed rate constants (kobs) of 2.63×10-3 s-1 and 3.80×10-3 s-1 for the 5 mg and 10 mg doses, respectively. The activation energy (Ea) was 102.1 kJ/mol and 101.8 kJ/mol for the 5 mg and 10 mg doses, respectively, indicating that the degradation process is moderately sensitive to temperature. The enthalpy change (ΔH≠a) for both doses was positive, with values of 92 kJ/mol and 102 kJ/mol for the 5 mg and 10 mg doses, respectively, indicating that the degradation reaction is endothermic, with the 5 mg dose requiring more significant heat input. The entropy change (ΔS≠a) for both doses was negative, with values of -0.219 kJ/(mol∙K) and -0.236 kJ/(mol∙K) for the 5 mg and 10 mg doses, respectively, indicating that the degradation process decreases the system's disorder, with the 5 mg dose having a more significant impact. The degradation of RSV in an alkaline medium was found to be a pseudo-first-order reaction, with observed rate constants ranging from 1.98×10-3 s-1 to 7.09×10-3 s-1, depending on the RSV concentration. The results suggest that higher RSV concentrations improve stability in alkaline conditions. These findings provide valuable insights into the stability of RSV under different pH conditions.

The airport  business is a growing and promising business. The increase in the number of trips will automatically have an impact on airport revenues. Currently, airport revenue is still dominated by revenue from the aeronautical sector, while the potential for non-aeronautical revenue is also quite promising. The retail business at the airport is one of non-aeronautical businesses that has big opportunities with potential to be a significant alternative income for the  airport. This study was addressed to examine the effect of store layout and price perception on retail purchasing decisions at the airport mediated by consumer satisfaction. It  uses a quantitative method, with 100 respondents, where they fill out online questionnaires. The analytical technique used is SEM-PLS. The results showed that the store layout and price perception have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions and on consumer satisfaction at the same time, whilst consumer satisfaction also has a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions. Store layout and price perception have an indirect influence on purchasing decisions through consumer satisfaction. Based on these results, airport managers are expected to pay more attention to marketing strategies that focus on creating attractive store layouts and competitive prices, so that consumers feel satisfied and decide to make a purchase.Keyword: consumer satisfaction, buying decision, price perception, airport retail, store layout
МІЖНАРОДНИЙ ДОСВІД РОЗВИТКУ ТУРИСТИЧНИХ РЕГІОНІВ

Published: November 2023

В статті проаналізовано міжнародний досвід розвитку туристичних регіонів. Встановлено, що поділ на туристичні регіони має давати максимально комплексне уявлення про територію, оскільки призначений для багатьох споживачів з різними потребами. Визначено, що поділ на туристичні регіони, враховуючи його спеціалізацію у конкретній соціально-економічній діяльності, належить до галузевого районування. Його варто трактувати як інструмент дослідження територіальної організації туризму та як відображення певного етапу територіального розвитку туризму. Доведено, що за оцінками фахівців інституту Світового банку за обсягами продажу туризм сьогодні посідає друге місце у світовій економіці після машинобудування, серед інших галузей сфери послуг – займає провідне місце. Туризм ґрунтується на взаємному використанні потенціалу території і виробничих факторів різних галузей, генеруючи на основі поєднання товарів, послуг і вражень цікавий продукт. Досліджено важливість та необхідність розвитку туристичних регіонів. У статті здійснено аналіз ключових тенденцій розвитку міжнародного туризму на основі темпів росту туристичних прибуттів по версії UNWTO. Проаналізовано досвід розвитку туристичних регіонів країн, які є найбільш схожими з Україною за доступом до рекреаційних ресурсів. Доведено, що яскравим прикладом успішного туристичного розвитку в Чорноморському регіоні виступає Болгарія. Детально досліджено особливості становлення туристичних регіонів Болгарії. Встановлено, що в Болгарії кожен туристичний район у відповідності до Закону про туризм обов’язково повинен мати організацію із управління туристичним районом. В результаті дослідження встановлено, що досвід Болгарії у формуванні та розвитку туристичних регіонів є надзвичайно інформативним для України в контексті розвитку українського туризму. аналіз міжнародного досвіду розвитку туристичних регіонів свідчить про динамічність та високий рівень розвитку галузі. Варто звернути увагу на те, що міжнародний розвиток туристичних регіонів забезпечується в першу чергу застосуванням концепції сталого розвитку туризму, що ґрунтується на раціональному використанні природних ресурсів, їх відновлюваності та завдяки цьому можливості тривалого використання.
