MEANS OF VERBALIZATION OF THE CATEGORY OF POLITENESS IN THE GERMAN-LANGUAGE MEDIA DISCOURSE
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Economics, Palekhova Olga W.
Published: June 2024

The focus of this article is the category of politeness as an important factor for the study of communicative interaction. Politeness prescribes certain forms of speech behavior which are necessary for successful interpersonal interaction. The main purpose of the article is to consider the most typical linguistic means of implementing politeness in the German media discourse. The analysis is based on such dialogic genres of public communication as analytical interview and interview-conversation. Their purpose is to influence the addressee, which implies the use of politeness. The corpus of examples is collected from the leading German-language magazines Spiegel Wissen, Spiegel and Cicero for 2015–2020 by a continuous sampling method. The situational interpretative method was used to comprehend and systematize the selected fragments expressing politeness. The methodological basis of the study was also formed by the communicative-pragmatic method since the analysis is based on the understandingof politeness as a communicative and pragmatic category aimed at achieving certain communicative and pragmatic goals in the process of communication. As a result of the research, it was revealed that in addition to the lexemes of polite semantics, the participants of the dialogue show politeness towards each other, showing interest in the topic under discussion, mutually encouraging each other to explain the previously expressed opinion in the form of a question, which acts as a polite version of the imperative. The results of the study also demonstrate the frequency of using subjunctive mood as additional means of verbalization of politeness towards the interlocutor.

Authors: Bustos Coral Magaly del Socorro , Galindo Ubaque Adrián David
Published: June 2024

Una mejor calidad de vida, desarrollo y bienestar son intereses propios de las familias y las comunidades que migran para tener mayores oportunidades, sin embargo, migrar de la ciudad al campo implica reconocer las experiencias de las familias que han tomado la decisión con la convicción de un mejor vivir y así observar las prácticas y rituales que configuran los vínculos en las familias y las comunidades rurales para comprender sus proceso de adaptación y nuevas formas de relación con lo rural.  Se presentan resultados de la primera fase del proyecto de investigación «Familias y neorruralidad en Cundinamarca», del Instituto de Estudios en Familia de la Fundación Universitaria Monserrate. Desde una perspectiva sistémico-compleja, se aplicaron entrevistas dialógicas, con dos personas referentes territoriales oriundas del municipio de Choachí-Cundinamarca y dos familias que se habían trasladado a zonas rurales del municipio. Los resultados son analizados bajo dos categorías de análisis: familia y neorruralidad y prácticas y rituales. Se encuentra que la neorruralidad es un proceso dialógico y recursivo que no solo es vivido por las familias que transitan de la ciudad al campo, sino también por las familias oriundas que las reciben, compartiendo saberes y rituales que organizan la neorruralidad como una práctica ritualizada de bienestar y la relación con el otro, la tierra, los animales y la naturaleza en general.
Astragaloside IV Protects Against Podocyte Injury by Upregulating Mitophagy via the Mfn2/Pink1/Parkin Axis
Authors: Yuan Yuan , Wu Yufan , He Minhui , Jiang Xue
Published: June 2024

Background:

Podocyte injury is the most important pathological hallmark of
kidney diseases. Autophagy is a critical factor that involves podocyte injury. Here, we
sought to determine whether Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) was able to improve renal
function and reverse podocyte injury through the regulation of autophagy.

Methods:

Using the Adriamycin (ADR) mice model, cultured immortalized mouse
podocytes were exposed to AS-IV. Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and
histochemistry were used to analyze markers of autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction,
podocyte apoptosis, and glomerulopathy in the progression of focal segmental
glomerular sclerosis.

Results:

We observed that AS-IV can inhibit podocyte apoptosis, increased reactive
oxygen species (ROS) generation, mitochondrial fragmentation, and dysfunction by
inducing the Mfn2/Pink1/Parkin mitophagy pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Overexpression
of Mfn2 reduced puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)-induced podocyte
injury, while downregulation of Mfn2 expression limited the renal protective effect of
AS-IV by regulating mitophagy.

Conclusion:

AS-IV ameliorates renal function and renal pathological changes in ADR
mice and inhibits PAN-induced podocyte injury by directly enhancing
Mfn2/Pink1/Parkin-associated autophagy.
HIV Stigma, Sexual Identity Stigma and Online Coping Strategy of Gay,
Bisexual and Queer People Living with HIV: A Moderated Mediation
Study
Authors: Ahmad Muhammad Ashraff , Mohamad Nor Azmawaty , Abd Hamid Harris Shah
Published: June 2024

Introduction:

Living with HIV/AIDS is more difficult for gay, bisexual, and queer (G-
BQ) people as they face stigma on both the disease and sexuality, which puts significant stress on

coping with stressors, and online platforms have become an alternative coping channel.

Methods:

This study investigated the use of online coping strategies in moderating the HIV stigma
mediated by sexual identity stigma on mental health in Malaysia. 123 GBQ people living with
HIV between the ages of 20 and 39 participated in the study, responding to the HIV Stigma –
Short Form Scale, adapted China MSM Stigma Scale, Online Coping Inventory, and DASS-21.

Result:

Results were analyzed using OLS, and logistic regression path modeling showed a statisti-
cally significant indirect effect of sexual identity stigma mediating HIV stigma on depressive (ab

= 0.1362), anxiety (ab = 0.1259), and stress (ab = 0.1636) levels. Problem-focused online coping
strategy was found to moderate the indirect association between HIV stigma and depression levels
via sexual identity stigma at low (β = 0.2110, SE = 0.0741, p<.05) and moderate levels (β =
0.1168, SE = 0.0465, p<.05). The findings demonstrated the compounding link between HIV and
sexual identity stigmas on mental health and how online coping strategies can be used as a helpful

coping resource to manage depressive symptoms for this community and mental health practition-
ers.

Conclusion:

These findings can be beneficial to generate a better understanding of how double
stigmas play a role in mental health and the types of online coping strategies adopted to process
the stressors for GBQ individuals living with HIV in Malaysia.

Published: June 2024

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the causative agent of wheat
stripe rust, poses a significant threat to wheat production due to its
rapid long-distance migration and epidemic properties. Understanding the
genetic structure and dynamics of the Pst population is crucial for
early prediction and establishment of effective control strategies. The
types of molecular marker analyses used in previous population genetic
studies are often costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. We
developed a genotyping by target sequencing (GBTS) chip for Pst designed
with candidate secretion proteins and highly polymorphic single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites identified from genome resequencing.
The chip can be used directly with diseased leaves, saving time and
avoiding cross-contamination between samples. The feasibility and
efficiency of the chip was tested using 225 infected leaf samples
collected from the northwest oversummering region of China. This test
yielded 1,293,150 high-quality SNPs with a maximum gap of 99,512 bp.
Strict quality controls produced 19,139 SNPs, comprising the final Pst
20K GBTS chip. Population genetic analysis revealed frequent gene flow
and similar genetic diversity of Pst between epidemic regions,
consistent with wind field analysis, trajectory tracking, and field
monitoring. The results demonstrated that the GBTS chip is more
efficient, convenient, and lower in cost than previous methods. This
study provides new insights into stripe rust population dynamics.
Furthermore, the newly established chip offers a valuable method for
enriching epidemiological recognition, guiding future research into
inter-regional or continental transmission of an important plant
pathogen.
Deciphering the Vulnerability of Pollen to Heat Stress for Securing Crop Yields in a Warming Climate
Authors: Lohani Neeta , Singh Mohan B. , Bhalla Prem
Published: June 2024

Climate change is leading to more frequent and severe extreme
temperature events, negatively impacting agricultural productivity and
threatening global food security. Plant reproduction, the process
underpinning crop yield, is highly susceptible to heatwaves, affecting
pollen development and ultimately affecting seed set and crop yields.
Recent research has increasingly focused on understanding how pollen
grains from various crops react to heat stress at the molecular and
cellular levels. This surge in interest over the last decade has been
underpinned by advances in genomic technologies, such as single-cell RNA
sequencing, which holds significant potential for revealing the
underlying regulatory reprogramming triggered by heat stress throughout
the various stages of pollen development. This review focuses on how
heat stress affects gene regulatory networks, including the heat stress
response, the unfolded protein response, and autophagy, and discusses
the impact of these changes on various stages of pollen development. It
highlights the potential of pollen selection as a key strategy for
improving heat tolerance in crops by leveraging the genetic variability
among pollen grains. Additionally, genome-wide association studies and
population screenings have shed light on the genetic underpinnings of
traits in major crops that respond to high temperatures during male
reproductive stages. Moreover, gene-editing tools like CRISPR/Cas
systems could facilitate precise genetic modifications to boost pollen
heat resilience. The information covered in this review is valuable for
selecting traits and employing molecular genetic approaches to develop
heat-tolerant genotypes.
Simultaneous Observation of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles and Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances over Indonesia Following the 15 January 2022 Tonga Volcano Eruption

Published: June 2024

We report our analysis of multi-diagnostic ionospheric observations over
Indonesia following the 15 January 2022 Tonga volcano eruption.
Observation data from the Indonesian GNSS CORS network, ionosondes, and
GISTM receivers, in conjunction with the Himawari-8 satellite imagery,
were used in the analysis. The Lamb waves from the eruption, traveling
at ~310 m/s, reached eastern part of Indonesia
(~5,000 km from Tonga) approximately 4 hours after the
eruption. The Lamb waves traversed the Indonesian region for 4 hours and
40 minutes, around sunset period. As a result, some unseasonal
equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) occurred over this longitude sector,
with an earlier-than-usual onset time. There was a directional split in
the zonal drift velocity of these EPBs, where some EPBs drifted eastward
with a velocity of 138.0 ± 6.9 m/s and others westward with a velocity
of 39.6 ± 2.0 m/s. At the same time, traveling ionospheric disturbances
(TIDs) from the Tonga eruption also propagated over the Indonesian
region with a velocity of 434.6 ± 21.7 m/s. In the total electron
content (TEC) data, interactions between EPBs and TIDs were observed
over the region. There were enhancements in the rate-of-TEC index (ROTI)
and S4 scintillation index, indicating the presence of ionospheric
density irregularities. A turbulent ionospheric F-layer, due to these
EPBs and TIDs, caused either spread-F echoes or a loss of F-region
traces in the ionograms. An intensification of sporadic-E layer, lasting
for a few hours, was also observed in the ionograms.
Leucine suppresses α-cell cAMP and glucagon secretion via a combination of cell-intrinsic and islet paracrine signaling

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Glucagon is critical for the maintenance of blood glucose, however nutrient regulation of pancreatic α-cells remains poorly understood. Here, we identified a role for leucine, a well-known β-cell fuel, in the α-cell intrinsic regulation of glucagon release. In islet perifusion assays, physiological concentrations of leucine strongly inhibited alanine and arginine-stimulated glucagon secretion from human and mouse islets under hypoglycemic conditions. Mechanistically, leucine dose-dependently reduced α-cell cAMP, independently of Ca2+, ATP/ADP, or fatty acid oxidation. Leucine also reduced α-cell cAMP in islets treated with Sstr2 antagonists or diazoxide, compounds that limit paracrine signaling from β/δ‑cells. Studies in dispersed mouse islets confirmed an α-cell intrinsic effect. The inhibitory effect of leucine on cAMP was mimicked by glucose, α-ketoisocaproate, succinate, and the glutamate dehydrogenase activator BCH, and blocked by cyanide, indicating a mechanism dependent on mitochondrial metabolism. Glucose dose-dependently reduced the impact of leucine on α-cell cAMP, indicating an overlap in function, however leucine was still effective at suppressing glucagon secretion in the presence of elevated glucose, amino acids, and the incretin GIP. Taken together, these findings show that leucine plays an intrinsic role in limiting α-cell secretory tone across the physiological range of glucose levels, complementing the inhibitory paracrine actions of β/δ-cells.

Article Highlights

· Despite the critical role of pancreatic islets as nutrient sensors, the mechanisms by which amino acids regulate glucagon release remain incompletely understood.

· Here we show that leucine, a well-known β-cell fuel, regulates glucagon secretion via a combination of α‑cell intrinsic and islet paracrine signaling.

· Leucine intrinsically suppresses α-cell cAMP, independently of α-cell Ca2+, ATP/ADP, or fatty acid oxidation.

· Our findings demonstrate complimentary roles of leucine and glucose in the regulation of α‑cell cAMP and glucagon secretion.

Peculiarities of the international legal regulation of termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employer
Authors: Andriiv V. , Vakhoneva T.
Published: June 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the international legal regulation of the termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employer. The opinion is expressed that the fundamental international acts adopted in this area, in particular, the ILO Convention No. 158 of 1982, the ILO Recommendation No. 166 of 1982, the European Social Charter (updated) of 1996, are aimed at finding a balance between the employer’s exercise of his right on the dismissal of employees depending on certain established reasons and ensuring their right to protection against discriminatory and unjustified dismissal.
It has been established that, unlike the European Social Charter, the norms of Convention No. 158 are somewhat stricter, as they establish single unifying provisions regulating the dismissal of workers, which in most cases may not always meet the interests of some ILO member states.
It is noted that the contents of Convention No. 158, ILO Recommendation No. 166 and the European Social Charter do not always contain identical approaches to the regulation of labor relations. This applies to the issues of early warning of the employee about future dismissal, the period of notice of dismissal, justification of the decision to terminate the employment contract with the employee, payment of severance pay upon dismissal, payment of monetary compensation in case the dismissal of the employee is recognized as illegal, and consultation of the employer with the representatives of the employees.
Based on the analysis of scientific points of view and legislation, the author comes to the conclusion that international labor standards are necessary to ensure the stability of labor relations, however, in modern conditions, they require a transformation regarding the flexible regulation of the balance of interests of the parties in the event of the termination of such relations.
Recruitment of youth in public service as the basis of building a rule-of-law state
Authors: Kovtun M. S. , Sikan E. V.
Published: June 2024

The article analyses a topical issue for Ukrainian youth - involvement and employment in the civil service since young professionals are the basis for a powerful country governed by the rule of law and a driving force in European integration processes. Today, we are concerned with only two aspects - legal and factual. The legal aspect is a systematic analysis of the provisions of the Constitution and the Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service”. In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has developed a set of programs, the National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service has taken several measures, and the President of Ukraine has proposed a National Youth Strategy until 2030. All of the above-mentioned legal acts and bylaws comprehensively define the key principles and objectives for the development of the civil service in Ukraine, in particular in the context of attracting and supporting young personnel. The factual aspect is to take into account the difficult current circumstances that have developed for Ukraine and every citizen of Ukraine after 24 February 2022. Military events have a harmful impact on youth policy and infrastructure, causing significant challenges to the development of youth initiatives and opportunities.
The article analyses the data of recent sociological studies on the return of young professionals from abroad, as this is crucial for the further staffing of the civil service. It also highlights the issues related to the availability of career opportunities for young professionals. The public sector has traditionally been characterised by a complex bureaucratic recruitment procedure. All of the above becomes a catalyst for distrust and creates a barrier between young people and the civil service. The public sector is traditionally characterised by a complex bureaucratic recruitment procedure, which creates a barrier between young people and the civil service. Deepening the modernisation of the public sector in Ukraine is impossible without the active participation of young and energetic professionals who can implement their ideas and make a significant contribution to the development of the state at all levels of government. Young professionals are an integral part of the country’s human resources, and their knowledge, energy and innovative approaches can significantly enrich the civil service and contribute to social and economic progress.
The right to appeal to the administrative court of subjects of power
Authors: Ostashchenko A. S.
Published: June 2024

According to the rule, the subject of power has the right to apply to the administrative court only in cases specified by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine (Part 4, Article 5 of the Civil Code of Ukraine) and for the purpose of exercising the powers entrusted to them. But in judicial practice, there is a position regarding which the law must necessarily provide certain grounds for appeal to an administrative court for cases brought by a subject of authority to a subject of private law. While in cases of a claim by a subject of authority against a subject of authority, an appeal to the court can also be made on grounds that are not directly provided for by law, but which directly follow from the relevant functions of this subject. In some cases and for the purpose of protecting the public interest, which does not conflict with the law and carries out the tasks and functions specified by the law, the subject of authority, without a direct indication of this in the law, may also file a lawsuit against the subject of private law. The article is devoted to consideration of the grounds for filing a lawsuit by a subject of authority to the administrative court. In accordance with the legislation, the specified entity acts as a plaintiff in administrative cases only in some cases. It is emphasized that in court cases in which the subject of authority acts as a plaintiff to the subject of private law, the court is guided by the principle of proportionality. This precept is a universal general law aimed at ensuring a reasonable balance of private and public interests. In administrative disputes based on a claim by a subject of authority against another subject of authority, the defendant must prove the legality of his decision, action or inaction, including that there is no violation of the rights of other persons, including public interests. Protection against groundless lawsuits by subjects of authority is, first of all, guarantees provided by the procedural law regarding the right to compensation for all costs related to the dispute.
Judicial protection by the administrative court is the most effective mechanism for protecting the rights and interests of citizens, other individuals and legal entities in the event of their violation by any entity. Creating a situation in which no subject of authority has the right to apply to an administrative court with a claim in the public interest distorts the nature and task of the administrative court.
National Data Protection Authorities in the EU: role and practice in the field of personal data protection in social networks
Authors: Prystai R. A.
Published: June 2024

Internal violations of the legislation of personal data protection by online social network services is a problem faced by all states, regardless of the presence or absence of national bodies for monitoring compliance with the legislation on the protection of personal data. However, the key differences that distinguish countries that have relevant authorities from those that do not have any or are entrusted with an authority that is unable to adequately perform the function of data protection are: a lower level of violations of privacy and personal data in social networks; the presence of a real possibility of the state tp protect privacy and personal data in the form of an authorized body, as well as the citizens themselves, to effectively protect their personal data; the ability of the state to flexibly determine the policy and conditions under which this or that social network service will carry out its activities on its territory.
Thus, the article examines the peculiarities of legislative regulation and practical activities of national bodies for the protection of personal data in the European Union (Data Protection Authorities (DPA)). The regulatory basis and role in ensuring the privacy and security of personal data of users of social networks have been studied, namely: the grounds for implementation, regulatory provisions that ensure their organization, competence, opportunities for cross-border cooperation and cooperation (joint investigation), as well as the impact on the activity of social services networks in specific countries. The practice of national bodies for the protection of personal data of member states in the EU was analyzed in the context of taking actions related to the protection of personal data in social networks - investigations, imposition of fines, appeals to national judicial institutions, development of requirements for Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) as well as the creation of codes of conduct and certification. On the basis of the obtained results, conclusions regarding the need to introduce separate national data protection authorities in Ukraine are proposed, as well the possibility of DPA influence on the functioning of social network services outside the jurisdiction of the EU member state is outlined.

The advantages and disadvantages of using information technologies in the process of evidence are outlined. Attention is given to the problems and prospects of using artificial intelligence in evidence evaluation by the court.
The research demonstrates the interdependence between the content of the principle of justice of judicial decisions in administrative justice and the implementation of information technologies and artificial intelligence in particular at the stage of evidence evaluation. The realization of such a principle through the use of digital technologies may lead to the emergence of new procedural rules regarding the interpretation of normative legal acts and their individual norms.
It is concluded that the normative legal framework defining the legal nature of information technologies in administrative justice is not yet fully formed. The norms regulating the use of information technologies in the field of administrative justice include aspects such as electronic judiciary technologies and electronic evidence. These norms form a system of information legal institutions in the field of administrative justice. Some of them are still in the process of formation as they undergo stages of creating projects and models of information technologies, their testing and experiments, while others are gradually being implemented and used in judicial practice. Despite many innovations already integrated into the judicial process, a certain number of them still await deeper implementation and understanding, particularly concerning the use of artificial intelligence. Therefore, the prospect of further development lies in improving the normative legal framework for the use of information technologies at the evidence stage in administrative justice.
Educational electronic public services: legal regulation and development
Authors: Shopina I. M.
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the article is to determine the peculiarities of development and legal regulation of educational electronic public services.
The article shows that the penetration of information technologies into all spheres of human life leads to the improvement of many processes of social activity, including in the field of education. Attention is focused on the fact that professional growth requires continuous learning in the framework of formal, non-formal and informal education. Central executive authorities and institutions, enterprises and organizations under their management are currently playing an active role in organizing such training. These bodies have the legal capacity to carry out such activities within the framework of electronic public services. However, the Law of Ukraine “On central bodies of executive power” does not provide for the possibility of these entities to carry out educational activities in relation to persons who are not members of their staff.
The author justifies that the problem arising from the unregulated participation of ministries and other public authorities in the system of providing electronic public services in the educational sphere is the lack of uniform standards. Significant differences are observed in the availability and form of a certificate of completion of an educational course, the availability of reviewers, and the number and complexity of test questions used to determine mastery of the content of the educational programme. The sources of funding for educational films and TV series, which require significant expenditures, are not always indicated.
The advantage of educational products prepared with the participation of public authorities is their acute relevance and practical orientation, as well as the ability to quickly approach their creation by minimizing bureaucratic barriers. The author concludes that improving the quality and scientific nature of the educational products under study, as well as reducing corruption risks in their production, requires regulating the most important aspects of this activity.
Agricultural cooperatives as subjects of agrarian legal relations
Authors: Hafurova O. V.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the main trends in the development of agricultural cooperation legislation and to the clarification of the place of agricultural cooperatives among subjects of agrarian legal relations. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the process of gradual liquidation of agricultural production cooperatives, which began in the early 2000s and ended with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine dated July 21, 2020 «About Agricultural Cooperation».
A comparative characterization of agricultural service cooperatives and agricultural cooperatives which operates without profit, also agricultural production cooperatives and agricultural cooperatives which operates for profit, was carried out. The conditions for assigning «new» agricultural cooperatives to the group of agricultural producers are determined. The main directions of state financial support of agricultural cooperation are analyzed.
The author came to the conclusion that the development of Ukrainian agrarian legislation shows a steady tendency to transform agricultural cooperatives either into processing enterprises or into business entities whose activities are primarily aimed at serving small commodity producers - farms. Thus, agricultural cooperatives are gradually losing the features inherent in agricultural commodity producers, which negatively affects, for example, on their number. This does not contribute to the implementation of such a business principle as ensuring economic diversity and equal protection by the state of all business entities (Article 6 of the Commercial Code of Ukraine), also ensuring food security of our country.

On the basis of the studied materials of criminal proceedings regarding the forgery of documents submitted for state registration of a legal entity and individual entrepreneurs, investigative situations have been identified, which develop depending on:

information sources: a) the fact and method of falsification of documents submitted for state registration of a legal entity and individual entrepreneurs have been established, but no information has been established about the persons who are the direct organizers of these operations; b) the fact and method of falsification of documents submitted for state registration of a legal entity and individual entrepreneurs, as well as organizers of tax evasion schemes, have been established; c) the fact of forgery of documents submitted for state registration of a legal entity and individual entrepreneurs has been established, information is available on the persons who committed them, but no tax evasion mechanism has been established;
attitude to guilt: a) a person admits his guilt in committing a criminal offense; b) partially recognizes; c) does not recognize;
cooperation of the suspect with the investigation: cooperates with the investigator; cooperates to an incomplete extent; provides false information; refuses to cooperate; not everyone is willing to cooperate. The level of predictability of the behavior and actions of the participants of the investigative action is also the factor that determines the occurrence of situations, since the effectiveness of their proceedings is directly dependent on the level of predictability of the behavior of the participants of the criminal process, forms of contact communication, the direction and result of the SRD;
the role of a person in the mechanism of illegal activity: a) a fictitious business entity is used; b) a fake natural person is used; c) persons who professionally engage in tax evasion are involved.
