STUDENTS’ NATIVE LANGUAGE AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Serpikova N. V. , Serpikova M. B.
Published: January 2021

Our experience of working with students of a transport (technical) university shows that many of them have serious problems in learning foreign languages. Students will not be able to realize their potential in future professional activities, involving foreign-language partners, since poor knowledge of a foreign language prevents them from establishing business contacts. The object of our research was linguistic competence as the basis for developing a communicative competence. Having analysed the existing linguistic and methodological literature, the educational process including learning English and French as a FL2 and the reasons for the students’ poor knowledge of foreign languages, we came to the conclusion that the problem does not lie solely with the small number of school hours or poor knowledge obtained at school. The lack of linguistic competence results from the insufficient knowledge acquired from native language studies, it is one of the main reasons for the poor proficiency of students in foreign languages. Students are not familiar with linguistic terminology in their native language, and this fact greatly complicates explanation of the grammar of the studied foreign language. The purpose of this paper is to focus the attention of university teachers on the need to work with students to master Russian and foreign language terminology in the framework of a comparative approach, which is one of the main methods of teaching a foreign language, as it expands the general language awareness and develops the “linguistic flair”of students.
CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR IN THE GERMAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE AS A REFLECTION OF MIGRATION PROCESSES (BASED ON OFFICIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PARTY “ALTERNATIVE FOR GERMANY”)
Authors: Medvedeva T. S. , Kazakova V. E.
Published: January 2021

The paper considers the metaphorical models as a way of conceptual-metaphorical representation of migration policies pursued by the German federal government in the texts of official statements of the right-wing opposition party “Alternative for Germany” (AfD). The study aims at analyzing the functioning of conceptual metaphors in the German political discourse focused on migration processes. The study is based on the texts of AfD’s official statements within the 2016th and the 2019th years posted on the website https://www.afd.de/ The overall number of the analyzed texts is 70. The theory of political metaphor is currently one of the most urgent and dynamic fields of linguistics. In our opinion, the metaphorization of migration processes is understudied and needs addressing the topic. As a result of the research, the conclusion is made that the metaphor serves as one of the most important and effective ways of manipulation aimed at controlling the public awareness and contributing to shaping political viewpoints that benefit the addresser. Throughout the study we analyzed the basic metaphorical models used to describe migration processes in Germany; a classification of predominant metaphors based on the sources of metaphorical expansion was worked out. Besides, we tried to trace the dynamics of using the metaphorical models within the four-year period. In 2016 as well as in 2019 nature-morphic, anthropomorphic, sociomorphic models were widely used in the official statements of the AfD party. However, the number of the metaphors in the texts dated 2016 is half as much as in 2019 (184 versus 120). In both periods of time the sociomorphic model proved to be the most popular but it is much more frequent in 2019. However, in the texts dated 2016 it comprises additional concepts of religion and hospitality. The nature-morphic metaphor is twice more frequent in 2016. The percent of anthropomorphic and cognitive metaphors in both periods of time remains unaltered.

Published: January 2021

The article contains a concept about Political and fiscal decentralization problem in Georgia during “2012-2019” For each democratic state strong local government and its political and fiscal decentralization is a fundamental principle of democracy. A local government is a form of public administration which, in a majority of contexts, exists as the lowest tier of administration within a given state. It contains political, fiscal and administration decentralization which means to transfer power from central government to municipality. In the way of Democracy and European integration as a still democracy development county, Local Government development and its Political and fiscal decentralization is an important and key issues for Georgia. Aim of the Article: To analyze the process and the problem of Political and Fiscal decentralization of Local Government in Georgia during 2012-2019. What type of problem we have and what is the main problem for Political and Fiscal decentralization of Local Government in Georgia. Despite all of reforms from independence to nowadays, political and fiscal decentralization of local Government is a problem for all governments in Georgia. The main reason for all of them was political control under the Local governments. After 2012, the hope that the new Government can implement real political da fiscal decentralization of local government was big. But reality is different. Despite two reforms of Local Government during 2012-2019, until now the problem of political and fiscal decentralization in Georgia is the same: no formal control of Local Governments, Most of Financial resources still have central Government, Local Governmnts have no possibility to implement their power independently, they have no own property and sufficient financial resources. In this article we give a recommendations how to improve political and fiscal decentralization aspects in Geogria and what the main problem is.

Tourism is based on deliberate and reasonable consumption of tourist resources. The object of research is Ecological Tourism, Protected Areas - Development Sustainability, Economic Benefit and Integration of Local Culture in Georgia. The understanding and recognition of significance of sustainable tourist achievements became the base of eco-tourism. In the world of tourism the notion sustainable tourism and eco-tourism are used in the same way. Besides this close relation each of them has slight, but important special features. Sustainable tourism means the duty of the society to provide the protection and maintenance of the environment for the future generations. These conditions are not only political and economic factors and needs strengthening with the help of making decisions. We should realize what does ecologically sustainable environment means for the development of tourism and what part in this case plays eco-tourism as one of the main parts of the development of the sustainable tourism. With its natural landscapes it is known that protected areas now play an important role in protecting Georgia›s biodiversity, natural heritage. In the work there is a significant place for visitors ‹statistics on the protected areas, survey of visitors› satisfaction, income from tourism and the sustainability of tourism sustainability. So as to provide sustainable economy for tourism, tourist sustainability is needed. During the sustainable development of tourism the resources should be used so as to satisfy economic, social and esthetic needs, but at the same time maintain the originality of the country.

Published: January 2021

At the beginning of new millennium, Georgia has faced a variety of environmental challenges. The reduction of green space and poor air quality became the major underline risk factor in the rise of many types of diseases in big cities. One of the distinct characteristics of Georgia is its unique natural resources and landscapes. That creates a possibility to design strategies for more sustainable sociale-conomical development of our country. We believe the development of eco infrastructure and its appropriate support system can increase the longevity and overall life quality among the residents of Georgia. Living in the ecologically clean environment became a major challenge among many populations across the globe. The global economic development has gaps in supporting eco-friendly life standards. Therefore, it becomes critical to study environmental pollution and seek cutting-edge strategies to build a more sustainable and eco-friendly environment for the health of people and the entire planet. New, technologically advanced eco-projects have the potential to create new social and environmental climate in Georgia, thus improving health, productivity, and well-being of the entire nation.

Authors: Cho Nchang F.
Published: January 2021

Background: Long-lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) are effective in the prevention of malaria, but universal utilisation continues to be declining in parts of Cameroon. This study aimed to explore the predictors and incidences of LLINs ownership/ utilisation in a semi-urban community in the Bamenda Health District (BHD). .
Methods: A cross-sectional survey involving 448 randomly selected household heads was conducted between March and April 2018 in the BHD. Data on LLINs ownership and utilisation were collected with structured questionnaires. Multivariate analysis was used to establish the predictors of LLINs utilisation and ownership.
Results: Household owner ship of at least one LLINs and universal usage was 93.3% and 43.1% respectively.
Conclusion: The utilisation of LLINs was low and had no significant association with ownership. Continuous educational efforts and monitoring schemes with specific emphasis on vulnerable groups should be stepped up.
Evidence of Metabolic Resistance in Pyrethroid Resistant Aedes aegypti Population from Lagos, Nigeria
Authors: Adesalu Kemi O.
Published: January 2021

Background: Pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti is of major concern to the control of several arboviral infections. The major mechanisms of Pyrethroid resistance in mosquitoes are target-site insensitivity and elevation in the activity of detoxification enzymes. In this study, we assessed the susceptibility status of Aedes aegypti population from Lagos to Pyrethroid and the impact of metabolic enzymes on resistance development.
Methods: Larvae of Aedes aegypti were collected from differ ent habitats in Lagos Mainland Local Government Area, Lagos state. Adult mosquitoes of 2-5 days were exposed to diagnostic dose of permethrin and Deltamethrin using the CDC method. Synergist assay was done with pre-exposure of samples to PBO before exposure to insecticide. Esterase and GST activities were measured using standard protocol. Regression Probit was used to compute the KDT50 and KDT95. Analysis of variance was used to compare the difference in mean of enzymes activities.
Results: Aedes aegypti population from the study location is resistant to permethrin (33% ) and Deltamethrin (80%) within the diagnostic time. PBO pre-exposure increases percentage knockdown from 33% to 82% and 80% to 87% for permethrin and Deltamethrin respectively. The activity of GST was higher (P<0.05) in permethrin exposed mosquitoes in comparison with unexposed.
Conclusion: A robust insecticide resistance management (IRM) plan in Lagos should take into consideration strategies for addressing the effects of metabolic enzymes in resistance development .
Dinucleotide (AC)n Repeat Polymorphism (rs36213840) in the Promoter Region of IL18R1 Gene and Genetic Susceptibility to Severe Malaria
Authors: Oyedeji Segun I. , Odoh Ikenna M. , Bass Peter U. , Awobode Henrietta O.
Published: January 2021

Background: Cytokines are key regulator s of human immune response to malaria but polymorphisms within the regulatory or coding regions of their genes may lead to differences in expression levels which may consequently influence disease susceptibility. In this study, we characterized an adeninecytosine (AC)n dinucleotide repeat polymorphism (rs36213840) at the promoter region of the Interleukin 18 Receptor 1 (IL18R1) gene and investigated its association with severe malaria.
Methods: We utilised the case-control study design to enrol a total of 207 children including 87 severe malaria cases and 120 asymptomatic controls. DNA was extracted from blood spot on filter paper using QIAamp® DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Genotyping for dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms was done by PCR and capillary electrophoresis of sequenced products on ABI PRISM® 3100 DNA sequencer (PE Applied Biosystems).
Results: The genotype frequencies of the dinucleotide repeats differed significantly between the two groups (χ2 = 8.69, P=0.026). We found a significantly higher frequency of the 14bp (AC)7 allele in severe malaria patients than in asymptomatic controls (odds ratio 1.945, 95% CI: 1.23 – 3.09, P = 0.005) while the frequency of the 16bp (AC)8 allele was significant higher in the asymptomatic controls than in severe cases (odds ratio 0.431, 95% CI: 0.244 – 0.761, P = 0.004).
Conclusion: Results of this suggest that the 14bp (AC)7 dinucleotide repeats might be a genetic risk
factor for susceptibility to severe malaria while the 16bp (AC)8 dinucleotide repeats might be a protective factor against severe malaria

Published: January 2021

Background: Cataract surgery is the most common operation performed in ophthalmology. It is the commonest cause of reversible blindness globally, in Sub-Saharan Africa and Nigeria. The study examined some factors affecting the outcome of cataracts surgery measured by Visual acuity after 6 weeks.
Methods: Data was collected from the records of ophthalmic patients who had cataract surgery at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Ogbomoso, from the period of January 2013 to December 2018. Two hundred and twenty-seven patients’ records were retrieved for the study. Logistic Regression was used to investigate factors associated with the outcome of Cataracts Surgery. The goodness of fit test was used to determine the fit of the model to the data.
Results: Two variables; intraoperative complication, and unaided visual acuity on the fir st postoperative day were statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). The outcome of surgery using unaided visual acuity after six weeks of surgery showed that 47.1% of the patients had a good visual outcome (6/18) or better and 52.9% had a poor outcome (worse than 6/60). Factors such as complications within six weeks, presence of ocular and systemic comorbidity, and presence of intraoperative complications were found to increase the likelihood of poor outcomes in cataract surgery.
Conclusion: This study has shown that Intraoperative complications and unaided visual acuity on the first postoperative day are important to the outcome of cataract surgery. Therefore, the two factors should be given attention during cataract surgery
Genomic Diversity and Phylogenetic Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Circulating in Africa and Other Continents: Implications for Diagnosis, Transmission, and Prevention
Authors: Taiwo Idowu A.
Published: January 2021

Background: COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 remains a global health threat. Assessment of the genetic relatedness of the genome sequence is a prerequisite to understanding the dynamics, which is important to improve diagnosis and preventive measures. This study determined genomic diversity and SNP characteristic of genomes of SARS-CoV-2 from Africa and the rest of the world. The study involved molecular and phylogenetic analyses to understand the phylogeny and transmission dynamics of the virus.
Methods: The SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence data were mined and retrieved from major databases for one year in two phases: Phase 1; December 2019 to May 2020 and Phase 2; June 2020 to December 2020. A maximum of the four sequences that fulfilled the following predetermined criteria from each country were randomly selected for inclusion in the study: (i) sequence length >29,700 nt, (ii) number of Ns in the sequence not >5%, (iii) inclusion of Poly-A tail in the sequence record to ensure completeness.
Results: The similarity of SARS-Cov-2 genomes within and between countries was generally high with an average of 99.9%. Thus, SARS-CoV-2 vary between countries and continents by 0.1% as a result of SNPs in its genome. Phylogenetic data revealed multiple origin of SARS-CoV-2 in Africa and also suggested that the virus spreads by ‘founder’s effect’; whereby few viruses newly introduced into a population multiply rapidly and accumulate mutations as they spread quickly by community transfer to create population-based identity. Tree of continental consensus sequences retrieved in Phase 1 suggested that SARS-CoV-2 virus is of two major clusters: African cluster consisting of Africa, Europe, and North America and Asian cluster made up of Asia, South America, and Oceania. However, this clustering pattern vanished in phase 2. Thus, upholding the view that SARS-CoV-2 is constantly evolving.
Conclusion: This dynamism and genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 have important implications in diagnosis, transmission, and prevention strategy.
Hepatitis C virus (Flaviviridae: Hepacivirus: Hepacivirus C): regulation of signaling reactions of innate immunity
Authors: Sokolova T. M.
Published: January 2021

Studying the regulation of signaling reactions of innate immunity by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) will help to reveal the causes of the transition of the acute form of the disease to a chronic course. The molecular mechanisms of activation by HCV RNA of innate immunity receptors TLR and RLR and signal transduction processes leading to the synthesis of IFN and inflammatory cytokines are considered. The inhibitory effects of non-structural and structural HCV proteins on immune signaling reactions are analyzed in detail. The information presented is the result of an analysis of literature data published in international databases mainly over the past 5 years. In conclusion, signaling receptors are proposed as targets for the development of new antiviral drugs with immunotherapeutic activity.

Published: January 2021

This review presents the data on the spreading of all known human herpesviruses (НHVs) in female urogenital tract. According to the WHO almost 500 million people worldwide suffer from genital infection caused by НHVs. НHVs were detected in various inflammatory diseases of female upper and lower genital tract (vaginitis and cervicitis), in extrauterine pregnancy (in fallopian tubes), in infertility (cervical channel, endometrium and ovaries). Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV‑1) was identified for the first time in oocytes after failed in vitro fertilization (IVF). НHVs produce negative effect on the entire reproductive process from conception to childbirth. It was established that HSV, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) markedly increase the risk of spontaneous abortion, preterm birth and stillbirth. Intrauterine НHV infection is a major cause of congenital malformations. Data on humoral and cell immunity in genital herpesvirus infections (НHVI) are also reviewed. Intravaginal HSV‑2 infection changes cell composition of vaginal mucosa, i.e., together with cells mobilized from the blood, protective role is performed by resident memory T‑cells (TRM), natural killer cells (NK‑cells) and regulatory T‑cells (Treg) whose function consists in maintaining the balance of the activities of lymphocytes. Constant НHVI spreading is largely explained by transition of primary infection to potentially reactivating latent form, since latent virus is unavailable to immune recognition and medicines. The genome editing system CRISPR/Cas9 can recognize and modify not only active but also latent viruses. The promising pilot results with the use of this system offer the possibility of developing innovative technologies for НHV elimination and НHVI eradication.

The review presents the state-of-the-art on the problem of diagnosis of prion diseases (PD) in humans and animals with a brief description of their etiology and pathogenesis. We pointed out that understanding the nature of the etio logical agent of PD determined their zoonotic potential and led to the development of highly specific immunological diagnostic methods aimed at identifying the infectious isoform of prion protein (PrPd) as the only marker of the disease. In this regard, we briefly summarize the results of studies, including our own, concerning the conversion of normal prion protein molecules (PrPc) to PrPd, the production of monoclonal antibodies and their application as immunodiagnostic reagents for the post-mortem detection of PrPd in various formats of immunoassay. We also emphasize the issues related to the development of methods for ante mortem diagnostics of PD. In this regard, a method for amplifying amino acid sequences using quacking-induced conversion of PrPc to PrPd in real time (RTQuIC) described in details. The results of recent studies on the assessment of the sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of this method, carried out in various laboratories around the world, are presented. The data obtained indicate that RT-QuIC is currently the most promising laboratory assay for detecting PrPd in biological material at the preclinical stage of the disease. The significant contribution of US scientists to the introduction of this method into clinical practice on the model of diagnosis of chronic wasting disease of wild Cervidae (CWD) is noted. The possible further spread of CWD in the population of moose and deer in the territories bordering with Russia, as well as the established fact of alimentary transmission of CWD to macaques, indicate the threat of the appearance of PD in our country. In conclusion, the importance of developing new hypersensitive and/or selective components of known methods for PrPd identification from the point of view of assessing the risks of creating artificial infectious prion proteins in vivo or in vitro, primarily new pathogenic isoforms (“strains”) and synthetic prions, was outlined.

Published: January 2021

Statement of the problem. Ventilation processes have a significant impact on the spread of airborne infections. It is necessary to use air exchange to reduce the likelihood of spreading such infections. Mathematical model. Using the Wells - Riley model of airborne transmission of infectious diseases, a mathematical model has been developed for the spread of coronavirus infection in a medical institution, consisting of a group of communicating rooms in which both healthy and infected people are constantly located and moved. The mathematical model makes it possible to take into account the movement of people around the premises and the settling of quanta of the generation of infection by a sick person when air moves. Results.

Authors: Gilev S. A.
Published: January 2021

Statement of the problem. Using the example of the leading construction organization in Voronezh, the article analyzes the shortcomings of the implementation of urban development projects and considers ways to solve them. Recently, the state of the natural environment of our cities has become a more urgent problem. This analysis will help designers in solving the problems of improving the architectural quality of the environment of new residential areas of the city of Voronezh. Results. As a result of the review and analysis of a number of implemented objects and the object planned for construction, ways to improve the architectural and artistic image of new districts are proposed, taking into account the features of the existing urban environment of Voronezh and current trends in advanced urban planning.Conclusions. Since any developer is primarily interested in the economic benefits of construction, he cannot express the true interests and needs of citizens, follow the historical traditions of the city. In the first stages of design, work should be performed on a competitive basis by order of the municipal authorities, even if the developer is the owner of the site intended for construction. The best project should be put up for auction among developers, providing the winner with the right to build in this territory.

Statement of the problem. New challenges of our time and the dynamics of socio-political and socio-economic factors in the development of Russia significantly affect the methodology of urban planning. The deteriorating environmental situation in many cities encourages a new approach to understanding and developing new principles of city life that regulate the biosphere compatibility of cities and the development of human capital as the main criteria for the effectiveness of territorial planning, construction and operation of urban facilities. Results. The article deals with a fundamentally new approach-urban planning, which should be understood as a system of fundamental provisions on life in the territories of cities and settlements and the principles of their spatial development and settlement. In practical terms, urban planning is an activity for the internal arrangement of the city's living environment, creating favorable conditions for the life of all categories and strata of the population without exception. The fundamental differences between the concept of urban development and urban planning are related to the need to understand the unity of the city and Nature, the symbiotic "embedding" of the city in the Biosphere. The Central element of the concept of urban development is the person, the conditions for its development in the urban environment.Conclusion. As part of the research, the practice of urban planning allows solving the problems of innovative development of the urban economy and increasing human potential, and in the long term -- transforming cities into biosphere-compatible and developing people as an alternative condition forthe survival of humanity and a priority for its development as an intellectual community.

Teza/cel – Przedmiot artykułu stanowi koncepcja quantified self. Celem jest określenie jej potencjału dla projektowania usług bibliotecznych. Metoda – Zastosowano metodę analizy i krytyki piśmiennictwa. W oparciu o wyszukiwanie prowadzone w katalogu Biblioteki Narodowej i katalogu Worldcat, bazie abstraktowej LISTA, repozytorium ELIS oraz wybranych bazach wielodziedzinowych (np. Science Direct, Wiley Online Library) określono stan badań nad koncepcją quantified self. Pod uwagę wzięto wyłącznie prace opublikowane w języku polskim i angielskim w latach 2010-2018. Wyniki – Omówiono główne założenia koncepcji quantified self, jej związki z przetwarzaniem wielkich danych (ang. big data) oraz miniaturyzacją sprzętu elektronicznego i rozwojem wearable computing, a także związki z koncepcją Internetu Rzeczy (ang. Internet of Things). Określono możliwości wykorzystania założeń podejścia quantified self w projektowaniu usług bibliotecznych. Wnioski – Przeprowadzona analiza pokazuje duży potencjał koncepcji quantified self dla projektowania innowacyjnych usług bibliotecznych, a także dla procesów ich ewaluacji, doskonalenia i promocji.
Usłyszeć niewypowiedziane. Dostrzec niewidoczne. Techniki UX (User experience) w badaniach użytkowników bibliotek. Szanse i perspektywy
Authors: Wolańska Agnieszka
Published: January 2021

Teza /cel artykułu – Opieranie swojej wiedzy dotyczącej użytkownika biblioteki na dość powszechnie stosowanych badaniach ankietowych lub wywiadach standaryzowanych w wielu przypadkach nie daje pełnej wiedzy o jego prawdziwych intencjach i potrzebach. Według antropolożki Margaret Mead „To co ludzie mówią, to, co robią, i to, co mówią, że robią, to trzy całkowicie różne rzeczy”. Artykuł prezentuje techniki UX, za pomocą których udaje się poznać niewidoczne i niewypowiedziane potrzeby użytkowników oraz stawia pytania o możliwość zaimplementowania takich badań w Polsce. Metody badań – Dokonano analizy literatury anglojęzycznej i polskiej w zakresie UX z ostatnich 10 lat, odwołując się również do starszych publikacji z zakresu etnologii i antropologii, które to dziedziny, jak wykazano, mają zasadniczy związek z badaniami jakościowymi. Kwerenda wykazała, że tematyka UX w kontekście bibliotek pojawia się głównie w badaniach dotyczących instytucji zagranicznych, a w Polsce jedynie sporadycznie. Na podstawie źródeł przedstawiono przegląd technik UX w ujęciu pojęciowym wraz z przykładami. Przemyślenia poparto własnym doświadczeniem pozyskanym podczas warsztatów UXLibs w Sheffield w 2018 roku. Wyniki i wnioski – Przedstawione techniki sprawdzają się w badaniach bibliotek na świecie, a uzyskane w ten sposób dane mogą być doskonałym uzupełnieniem badań ilościowych, do tej pory przeważających w polskich bibliotekach.
Dorobek piśmienniczy pracowników naukowych z dyscypliny bibliologia i informatologia w świetle oceny parametrycznej działalności naukowej polskich jednostek naukowych z roku 2017
Authors: Drogosz Jacek
Published: January 2021

Teza/cel artykułu – Artykuł prezentuje informacje o polskim dorobku piśmienniczym pracowników naukowych z dyscypliny bibliologia i informatologia za lata 2013-2016. Celem badania jest wskazanie najpopularniejszych w dyscyplinie czasopism, wydawnictw i konferencji naukowych oraz określenie ich znaczenia w kolejnym procesie ewaluacji (2021). Pozwala to na wyciągnięcie wstępnych wniosków dotyczących realizacji polityki naukowej w zakresie bibliologii i informatologii. Metody badań – Materiał opracowany został na podstawie danych z ankiet jednostek, które oceniane były w procesie parametryzacji w 2017 r. Stosując metody analityczne wyodrębniono informacje o dorobku piśmienniczym pracowników reprezentujących dyscyplinę. Dane o czasopismach, wydawnictwach i konferencjach zostały uszeregowane metodą rankingowania. Wzięto pod uwagę różnorodne zapisy danych przez sprawozdających, które to zapisy zostały ujednolicone na potrzeby artykułu. Wyniki/wnioski – Z analizy wynika, że znaczna część najcenniejszego dorobku piśmienniczego w badanej dyscyplinie straci znaczenie w ewaluacji. Zwrócono uwagę na konieczność dostosowania się do nowych zasad ewaluacji w celu podniesienia znaczenia dorobku naukowego. Wskazano, że reprezentatywność analizowanych publikacji w dorobku naukowym badanej dyscypliny jest tylko częściowa.
