Authors: Kurniati Rina , Kurniawati Wakhidah , Dewi Diah Intan Kusumo , Syahri Endah Kartika
Published: January 2024

Climate Sensitive Urban Design (CSUD) is a new paradigm in urban planning that is adaptive to climate change by adapting various elements that support the physical development. This study aims to determine the appropriate landscape design adjustment strategy in cultural landscape such as the Old Town Semarang. The data used are in the form of six CSUD components such as air temperature and thermal comfort, vegetation, shadows, materials, solar radiation, and frequency of regional activities. Data processing is carried out by simulating CSUD elements such as shadows, vegetation, and solar radiation using the Sunhour and Curic Sun menus in the Sketchup application. To determine the significant effect between test variables, the SPSS linear regression analysis method was used. The results obtained are several scenarios for the proper application of CSUD at four stations in the Old Town Semarang. The findings are in the form of the influence of the presence of vegetation and shadows of objects in minimizing heat stress. The addition of 1% shadow area can increase the area with moderate to low radiation levels by 1.083%..
Child ‘streetism’ through Kinaesthetics
Authors: Ibrahim Sayidah Ramdhan , Haron Syarmila Hany
Published: January 2024

The term child ‘streetism’ refer to a group of children that has emerged as a result of rapid technological development that led to the migration of people from rural areas to cities. However, due to various other factors that thwart efforts to improve their lives, a class of street children is emerging. This paper examines the children living on the streets in Malaysia. They are subjected to multiple forms of abuse, neglect and often engage in informal economic activities to survive. Children basic needs can be effectively met through empowerment and holistic approaches that utilize art and creativity. Such approaches recognize that children’s well-being is linked to various aspects of their lives, such as physical, emotional and social. Arts and creativity provide street children with a safe space for self-expression, increase self confidence and self-esteem, develop life skills, and create alternative income opportunities. In addition, arts and creativity-based interventions have been shown to promote positive mental health outcomes, improve social inclusion and reduce stigma among street children. This study draws on several perspectives on the issue of child ‘streetism’ in Malaysia. However, the mandatory focus is about analysing the empowerment and holistic approach to children’s ‘streetism’ via art and creativity in education to help children realize their full potential and overcome their obstacles. Interviews, and thematic analysis will be conducted to obtain a collective opinion and gather more information on the research topic. Arts and creativity via education can play an important role in addressing the challenges faced by children living in the streets, by providing opportunities for self-expression, skill development, social inclusion, trauma recovery, advocacy and especially education. Ultimately, by incorporating Kinaesthetic Learning methods via arts and creativity can empower them, promote their well-being and contribute to their holistic development which can be effective strategies to foster the resilience of the street children and help them to build a better future.

Communication Apprehension among the Communication Students of Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Md. Motiur , Tasnim Pinky Farzana
Published: January 2024

The aim of this study is to assess the communication apprehension (CA) among the communication students of Bangladesh. The data were collected from 283 students from 10 public universities through the survey method. McCroskey's (1982) Personal Report of Communication Apprehension, also known as the PRCA-24 test was adopted for this study. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics of SPSS 23 software. The study explores that the mean communication apprehension score of communication students of Bangladesh is 68.12 which ascertains the medium level of CA of the students. It also says that 12.6% of students have high CA, 64.7% have medium CA and the rest 13.8% have a low level of communication apprehension. Students are more apprehensive in public communication rather than in group, meeting, and interpersonal communication. Male students have less CA than female students. This research also reveals that those students experience more CA who suffer from depression, prefer loneliness, and spend more time on social media. Communication apprehensive students prefer to sit in the back row or alongside in the classroom setting. Also, CA score is decreased when the age of the student is increased. The study also assesses that students involved with co-curricular activities have less CA than the other students. The study recommends that universities should offer more practical courses in communication to overcome communication apprehension. Keywords: communication, apprehension, communication students, Bangladesh, university students

Abstract. The article is devoted to the regional peculiarities of the investment activity in Ukraine as a factor of social and economic security in martial law conditions and in the reconstruction period. The article aims to determine the features of the investment potential of Ukraine regions based on indicators of investment activity in the pre-war period, as well as the need to restore and develop the socio-economic infrastructure that was destroyed during Russian aggression. In preparing the article, methods of desk research, analysis, synthesis, and comparison, statistical methods of dynamic analysis, multidimensional ranking, and integral evaluations were used. Information sources for the investment activity assessment in Ukraine are systematized, considering the regional context and restrictions on disseminating data in wartime conditions. The main sources for statistical analysis of investment activity in Ukraine are state statistical surveys in the form of reporting and questionnaires of enterprises conducted by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the National Bank of Ukraine. Additional data producers on Ukraine’s investment climate are state and non-state analytical centers and other institutions, including the Ukrainian Business Association. An analysis of investment activity in the regions of Ukraine in the pre-war period was carried out based on indicators of capital and direct investments. Conclusions are formulated regarding the features of the regional distribution of investment potential indicators, considering the destruction of the socio-economic infrastructure in connection with Russian aggression. Critically important for the socio-economic security of Ukraine is the preservation of the investment potential of the regions that form the country’s industrial potential and can ensure the modernization of the real sector of the country’s economy. To develop regional programs for the recovery of Ukraine and attract investments for their implementation, creating an aggregated database on the scale of destruction and other material damage caused to each region of Ukraine in connection with Russian aggression is of great importance. Keywords: investments, investment activity, socio-economic security, regions of Ukraine, economic recovery, indicators of investment activity

To study the resilience and driving factors of key players in the food supply chain, this paper applies a decision model based on the Fermatean fuzzy set and improved ORESTE method. Firstly, based on the existing research on food supply chain resilience, the risk influencing factors affecting food supply chain resilience is established through a literature review. Secondly, Fermatean fuzzy sets are used to express and integrate uncertain information, calculate the membership and non-membership degrees of the factors affecting the resilience risk of the food supply chain, and then calculate the score function to obtain the weight of the influencing factors and the risk weight of alternatives. Finally, the improved ORESTE method is used to rank key players, thereby identifying key players in the food supply chain that affect resilience. The results show that transportation and logistics failures, government regulation, and diseases are the three important risk factors with the highest weight coefficient, while water system failure is the least important risk factor. Among the key players, farmers and food processors are considered the most vulnerable key players in the food supply chain, while the most resilient key players are supermarkets and food wholesalers.

Purpose. Assessment of the influence of the organomineral feed additive "Si-lact" on the productivity and metabolism of broiler chickens. Materials and Мethods. The object of the study was broiler chickens of the Arbor Acres cross and an organomineral feed additive. The studies were carried out on 90 broiler chickens, divided into 3 groups: control and two experimental ones. The control bird received a diet according to the recommendations of VNITIP (2019), chickens of experimental group I were given an organomineral feed additive (lactulose, succinic acid, arginine, silicon), II – were given a feed additive devoid of lactulose. Morphological blood parameters were determined using a DF 50 VetPlus device (URIT Medial Electronic Co., Ltd, China). Biochemical studies of blood serum were carried out on a CS-T240 apparatus (DIRUI Industrial Co., Ltd, China) using commercial kits for veterinary research DiaVetTest (Russia). The chemical composition of broiler droppings, feed and body tissue was determined using standard methods. Statistical analysis of the data obtained during the experiment was carried out using the Statistica 10.0 program (StatSoft Inc., USA) and Microsoft Excel (Microsoft, USA). Results. Feeding with an organomineral feed additive (group I) ensured an increase in live weight of 2.28 kg, which was 10.7% (P≤0.05) higher than the same parameter in the control. The growth rate during the experiment in experimental group II was similar (2.27 kg; P≤0.05). At the same time, chickens of experimental group I in terms of live weight by the end of the experiment exceeded their peers from the control group by 17.9% (P≤0.05), group II – by 10.8%. The organomineral additive improved some metabolic parameters. The level of digestibility of organic matter, crude protein, carbohydrates and nitrogen-free extractive substances increases in experimental I by 5.6 (P≤0.05); 4.2; 5.9 (P≤0.05) and 5.3%, respectively, compared with control. Conclusion. An organomineral feed additive containing lactulose has a greater effect on the growth and, as a consequence, the productivity of broiler chickens.

Purpose. Development and production of boiled-smoked sausages enriched with iodine. Materials and Мethods. The production of experimental boiled-smoked sausage products was carried out in accordance with GOST 55455-2013 using classical technology using crushed seaweed of the Laminaria family in the recipe. The samples were produced on the territory of the experimental workshop of the Sausage Shop “Technolog” (Volga State Technical University, Department of Food Production Technology). The determination of organoleptic and physicochemical parameters was carried out in accordance with generally accepted standards in the food industry on the territory of the VRIMMP (complex analytical laboratory CALab). Results. The main goal of the study was achieved – to obtain a product containing a high content of iodine, the regular use of which will reduce the risk of iodine deficiency. In terms of organoleptic indicators, the test sample with the addition of kelp did not lag behind the control sample. The addition of seaweed from the Laminaria family did not have a negative effect on the content of toxic substances. It has been experimentally proven that 100 g of sausage containing kelp contains 96 mcg of iodine. It is known that the daily intake of the trace element iodine is 150 mcg. This makes the food products under study indispensable for the reduction and prevention of iodine deficiency. Conclusion. The presented sausage products, enriched with iodine, can serve as a prevention of iodine deficiency in problem regions, including the Volgograd region.
Stranci u srpskoj i jugoslovenskoj vojsci
Authors: Bjelajac Mile
Published: January 2024

: U ovom radu, koji je zasnovan na autorovim dugogodišnjim istraživanjima fenomena vojske u etnički i verski složenim uslovima, ponuđen je, kroz brojne primere, odgovor na pitanje da li je jugoslovensko iskustvo nadnacionalnih integracija započelo tek sa stvaranjem Kraljevine Jugoslavije ili je imalo svoju duboko ukorenjenu istoriju tokom razvoja moderne srpske državnosti. U radu su tek naznačeni provereni i prethodno objavljeni zaključci autora koji sugerišu da su oduvek postojale najviše namere da se u srpskoj, kasnije jugoslovenskoj vojsci ostvari praksa etničke i verske tolerancije, da tu ustanovu i preko nje državu i društvo građani osećaju kao svoje. Oni koji su u nju dolazili iz svoje volje, oni koji su joj služili u ratovima preko svog potomstva širili su taj dobar duh i sliku Srbije kao zemlje koja se prihvata po izboru. U Kraljevini Jugoslaviji ovo opredeljenje je delom bilo uslovljeno egzistencijalnim razlozima za nekadašnje austrougarske oficire ili carske ruske oficire. Bilo je i optanata, bivših dobrovoljaca u redovim srpske vojske tokom rata kod kojih je motiv bio daleko jasniji i lakši za interpretaciju. Oko ove teme postoje u istoriografiji polarizovane interpretacije, posebno posle 90-ih. Autor izlaže argumentaciju koja osporava teze da je postojao srpski plan potčinjavanja, osporavanja i apsolutne dominacije.
Skip the reading assignment: Effective and efficient learning with only practice and feedback
Authors: Carvalho Paulo F. , Asher Michael W. , Sana Faria , Koedinger Kenneth R.
Published: January 2024

A large body of existing research indicates that practice after an initial reading improves learning outcomes and is more beneficial than rereading. But can practice with feedback be effective even without upfront reading? Across three laboratory studies (n = 1,554), participants learned the same amount from practice with feedback regardless of whether they did the introductory reading or not, and they saved 60% of time when skipping the reading. These results suggest that if students have the opportunity to practice and receive feedback on their performance, additional passive instruction like textbook reading may be redundant and inefficient. Students might be better off focusing on practice and feedback for robust and efficient learning.

A forensic facial examiner and professional team advantage for masked face identification
Authors: Noyes Eilidh , Moreton Reuben , Hancock Peter , Ritchie Kay L. , Martínez Sergio Castro , Gray Katie , Davis Josh P
Published: January 2024

Face masks and coverings are often encountered by facial examiners in high stakes forensic case work. Forensic facial examiners (hereafter “facial examiners”) are trained to make face identifications and their decisions can be used as evidence in court. While research suggests that facial examiners can identify unconcealed faces with high accuracy, their identification performance for masked faces is unknown. Here we provide the first test of facial examiner performance for masked faces. An international sample of 61 facial examiners and 39 professional teams completed face identifications for 20 image pairs, which consisted of one unconcealed face image and one mask wearing face image. Examiners used their normal working procedures to make their identification decisions. The performance of facial examiners was compared against that of controls and six face identification algorithms. Both facial examiners and professional teams outperformed controls, however, professional teams made the least errors of all groups. The face identification algorithms achieved very high accuracy on the task. Our results support the use of facial examiners for the identification of masked faces and suggest a role for teams and human-machine working in applied practice. The findings back the notion that facial examiners use feature comparison, and this strategy is successful for matching pairs of images where one face wears a mask.
Enhanced visual contrast suppression during peak psilocybin effects: A psychophysical study

Published: January 2024

In visual perception, an effect known as surround suppression occurs wherein the apparent contrast of a center stimulus is reduced when it is presented within a higher-contrast surrounding stimulus. Many key aspects of visual perception involve surround suppression, yet the neuromodulatory processes involved remain unclear. Psilocybin is a serotonergic psychedelic compound known for its robust effects on visual perception, particularly texture, color, object, and motion perception. We asked whether surround suppression is altered under peak effects of psilocybin. Using a contrast-matching task with different center-surround stimulus configurations, we measured surround suppression after 25 mg of psilocybin compared with placebo (100 mg niacin). After taking psilocybin, participants (n = 6) reported stronger surround suppression of perceived contrast compared to placebo. Furthermore, we found that the intensity of subjective ‘psychedelic visuals’ induced by psilocybin correlated positively with the magnitude of surround suppression. We note the potential impact of our findings for the field of psychiatry, given that recent studies have demonstrated weakened visual surround suppression in patients with major depressive disorder, for which psilocybin has recently been identified as a breakthrough therapy. Our finding is thus relevant to understanding the visual effects of psilocybin, and the potential mechanisms of psychedelic therapies for mental health disorders.
Creative self-belief responses versus manual and automated Guilford alternate use task scoring: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Wahbeh Helané , Cannard Cedric , Yount Garret , Delorme Arnaud , Radin Dean
Published: January 2024

While behavioral tasks like the Guilford Alternate Use task (AUT) are the gold standard for quantifying creativity levels and clarifying how they relate to subjective, self-report ratings would contribute to the creativity assessment field. If a single-item measure were available to reliably and efficiently assess one’s creativity level, researchers and educators with limited time and resources could use the simpler and shorter self-report item. This study’s primary objective was to evaluate the construct validity of a single-item creative self-belief (CSB) measure by comparing it with AUT fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality scores that were scored using manual and automated methods. It also aimed to assess the single-item CSB’s convergent validity and test-retest reliability. In addition, the relationship between the manual and automated AUT scoring methods was evaluated. Data from 1,179 adult participants collected in a more extensive parent study were used for these analyses. CSB was weakly correlated to manual fluency (rho = .13, p =.004, n-505) and manual originality (rho = .11, p =.01, n-505) but no other creativity measures. CSB was correlated with the personality indices of openness to experience (rho = .49, p <.000005, n-1022), extraversion (rho = .20, p <.000005, n-1021), neuroticism (rho = -.20, p <.000005, n-1018), agreeableness (rho = .14, p <.000005, n-1021), and conscientiousness (rho = .14, p <.000005, n-1023). CSB test-retest reliability, assessed using entries from participants who completed two sessions, was high (Intraclass Correlation 78.6, 95% CI [74.8 - 81.8]). The manual elaboration score was strongly correlated with the automated Open Creativity Scoring with Artificial Intelligence (OCSAI) elaboration score (rho = .76, p <.000005, n-520), and manual originality scores were correlated with OCSAI originality scores but less strongly (rho = .21, p <.000005, n-520). These findings support using multiple measures to assess creativity, not relying solely on this single-item CSB measure. However, the single-item CSB item may be helpful in limited-time situations and has demonstrated positive content validity, test-retest reliability, and a significant, albeit weak, correlation to AUT fluency and flexibility. This study also supports the continued use of OCSAI to score elaboration and originality in AUT.
Cross-modal cues improve the detection of synchronized targets during human foraging.
Authors: Makarov Ivan , Unnthorsson Runar , Kristjansson Arni , Thornton Ian Michael
Published: January 2024

In two experiments, we explored whether cross-modal cues can be used to improve search for multiple targets in a novel human foraging paradigm. Search arrays consisted of a 6 x 6 grid containing outline circles with a small dot on the circumference. Each dot rotated from a random starting location in steps of 30°, either clockwise or counter-clockwise, around the circumference. Targets were defined by a synchronized rate of rotation, which varied from trial-to-trial, and distractors rotated either faster or slower than the target rate. In Experiment 1, we compared baseline search to a condition in which a non-spatial auditory cue was used to indicate the rate of target rotation. While overall search speed remained slow in both conditions, suggesting a serial scanning of the display, the auditory cue reduced target detection times by a factor of two. In Experiment 2, we replicate the auditory cue advantage, and also showed that a vibrotactile pulse, delivered to the wrist, could be almost as effective. Interestingly, a visual cue to synchrony rate, in which the frame of the display changed polarity in step with target rotation, did not lead to the same search advantage. Our results clearly demonstrate that cross-modal cues to synchrony can be used to improve visual search for multiple targets, provided that synchrony itself is a defining feature of target identity.
How Useful is the Concept of Resilience for Studying Individuals and Families with Low Resources?
Authors: Daly Mary
Published: January 2024

This contribution aims to clarify the application and utility of resilience to study and understand the situation of low-resource families. While the concept of resilience places the spotlight on important phenomena - such as the capaity to withstand risk or shock, it has not been developed with social processes, relationships and structures in mind and in a real sense has to be 'tranlsated' for application to the social sciences. The aim is to undertake a critical conceptual analysis and engage with possible ways of refining resilience for the analysis of social phenomena in general and situations of low resources in particular. The paper does this through three main exercises. It first assesses the concept’s key origins and interests. A second section queries the concept’s theoretical rigour and reach, seeking to identify both strengths and weaknesses. The third section looks at what the concepts of vulnerability, resourcefulness and sustainability bring to the fore that might help overcome some of the weaknesses of the resilience concept for the analysis of social and family-related processes and outcomes. The piece conveys three main messages: resilience has quite a particular orientation towards operational effectiveness and system stability and reproduction; while it directs the focus at important phenomena, it might be wise to ‘decentre’ it for the purposes of studying personal and social processes; its usage and application to social phenomena can be improved by grounding it in conceptions of vulnerability, resourcefulness and sustainability.
The Free Movement of People and the Success of Far-Right Parties: Evidence from Switzerland's Border Liberalization
Authors: Alrababah Ala , Beerli Andreas , Hangartner Dominik , Ward Dalston
Published: January 2024

The main theories explaining electoral backlash against immigration focus on citizens' cultural, economic, and security concerns. We test these predictions in Switzerland, which opened its labor market to neighboring countries in the 2000s. Employing a difference-in-differences design, we document a substantial rise in immigrant workers in Swiss border municipalities after the border opened. This was accompanied by a 6-percentage-point (95% confidence interval: 2--10) increase in support for anti-immigrant parties, equivalent to a 32% rise at the mean. However, we find no adverse effects on citizens' employment, wages, or subjective perceptions of economic, cultural, or security threats. Instead, we describe how far-right parties introduced novel narratives related to overcrowding to advance hostility toward immigrants. We provide evidence that this rhetoric targeted border municipalities, where it had the greatest impact on voters susceptible to political persuasion. Together, these findings suggest that elites can play a role in driving anti-immigrant votes.
Inequality and Immigration Do Not Necessarily Increase Welfare Chauvinism -- A Replication of Two Influential Studies
Authors: Geith Johannes , Passer-Jähnel Alexander , Rueß Stefanie , Rudolph Lukas
Published: January 2024

How do inequality and immigration affect support for redistribution? We study this question in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has elevated the salience of redistributive policies and decreased the salience of immigration. We build upon studies of Magni (2021) and Alesina, Miano and Stantcheva (2023) that showed that priming respondents on inequality or immigration can link to preferences for redistribution (the former positively, the latter negatively) and increase welfare chauvinism. We revisit these claims drawing on survey-experimental primes in a quota-representative sample of around (N=1.587) German citizens. Our findings are partly contrary to prior evidence, underlining that previous studies may be context-dependent on times of exceptionally high immigration salience.

Learning Styles and School Adjustments among Secondary School Students
Authors: Maharjan Rocky
Published: January 2024

Learning style is individual's preferred way of processing new information for efficient learning. Students whose learning styles are compatible with the teaching style of a course instructor tend to retain information longer, apply it more effectively, and have more positive post-course attitudes toward the subject than do their counterparts who experience learning/teaching style mismatches. The purpose of this study was to study the relationship of gender and school type in school adjustment as well as learning styles and to explore the effect of learning style in school adjustment. The study was carried out among 200 students selected from government (n=100) school and private school (n=100). The Learning Style Inventory (LSI) and Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS) were used to collect the data. The data obtained from survey was analyzed by using group statistics, independent sample test, chi square test and ANOVA. The study found that most of the students both boys and girls had divergent learning styles. The independent t test showed that students from private schools were significantly poor in emotional and educational adjustment than students from government schools. The ANOVA test revealed that effects of learning styles were significant in emotional, social and overall school adjustment but not significant on educational adjustment.
Identity Based Federalism and its Implications: An Analytical Study
Authors: Maharjan Upesh
Published: January 2024

The article has focused upon identity-based federalism practiced in some of the countries in the world. It has clarified the fears and the suspicions about secession if identity-based federalism would have been implemented in Nepal. Thus, it has been explored to get answers about the probability of secession, the constitutional procedural for the implementation of secession rights and its linkage. The content analysis method with comparative assessment has been used in order to meet the objectives. Because of the provisions made in those constitutions, social-economic and political dynamism of the states, the research has found that there is negligible secession probability. The countries having secession rights, with some constitutional disputes in a long row, have shown less chances of secession. The article has examined constitution of all these federal countries. The Experience of Ethiopia, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Belgium and Canada have obviously shown the fearless probability about secession. Experiences in these countries have conclusively shown that the fear and suspicions about the fragmentation of Nepal as imposed does not relatively occur.
Two ways to slower aging - or just one?
Authors: Herrmann Friedrich , Michael Pohlig Michael
Published: January 2024

In the context of teaching relativity, one encounters two situations in which two observers age at different rates. Usually, these effects are treated as if they were independent of each other. Often one is referred to as special-relativistic, the other as general-relativistic. We show that both are special cases of an effect which follows naturally from the fact that space and time form a unity. They exist in a flat space-time and therefore neither of them deserves the label general relativistic.

The corpus of borrowings and their functioning in the medical terminology of Kazakhstan (on the material of professional periodicals)
Authors: Kucherenko O.F. , Kuanysheva A.B. , Keller-Deditskaya E.R.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of functioning of borrowed lexemes in the medical terminology of Central Kazakhstan. It shows what influence the modern language policy of Kazakhstan has on the sublanguage of medicine. The problem of teaching Latin in medical universities of the Republic of Kazakhstan is touched upon. The arguments in favor of the compulsory introduction of Latin into the curricula of future physicians are presented. Terms extracted from specialized medical journals “Clinical Medicine of Kazakhstan” (J Clin Меd Каz), “Astana Medical Journal” in Central Kazakhstan and “Medicine and Ecology”, published by the Non-profit joint-stock company “Karaganda Medical University”, from 2011 to 2020 were analyzed. 6,450 terms from clinical medicine, pharmacy and anatomy were reviewed to confirm the hypothesis that Latin not only does not lose its position, but actively participates in the formation of new terms “serving” new branches of medicine and areas related to it. The scientifically and statistically unsubstantiated claim of total substitutability of Latin terminology for English terminology is refuted. Although it recognizes the growing influence of English in these spheres. To confirm the hypothesis, we propose an etymologicaland semantic classification of borrowings. Particular attention is paid to native Western European medical terms. Areas of medicine in which English-language terminology is actively incorporated are being established. The conclusion is that Greek–Latin terminology continues to be the core of the medical sublanguage, but the corpus of medical vocabulary is actively replenished by Anglicisms.

Объектом исследования являются казахстанские интернет-комментарии к политическим статьям, размещенные в новостном портале Nur kz. Выбор объекта обосновывается с развитием информационных технологий, которые способствовали появлению разного вида жанров, в данном исследовании — текстов виртуального пространства. Цель исследования — определить ценностный фактор текстопорождения казахстанских политических интернет-комментариев. Предмет исследования — соотнесенность ценностного потенциала исходного текста и ценностных установок виртуальной языковой личности, реализуемых в интернет-комментариях. Для изучения данного объекта использовались методы сбора и контекстуального анализа теоретического материала, сравнительные, обобщающие, описательные и метод количественной обработки данных. Результаты исследования показали, что тексты казахстанских интернет-комментариев обладают ценностным потенциалом. Виртуальная языковая личность является носителем национального наследия и культуры, поскольку принадлежит определенному лингвокультурному коллективу, обладающему своим мировоззрением и стереотипами, которые и проявляются в текстопорождении интернеткомментариев; реализуя себя в качестве комментатора, языковая личность оперирует, прежде всего, понятиями, представляющими для неё наибольшую ценность.

This article considers the non-verbal means of communication between young people. The authors pay special attention to the characteristics of non-verbal communication, especially the functions and types of nonverbal communication. Non-verbal communication is a means of information, a system of non-verbal symbols, signs used to transmit the message. People can learn a lot about us only by the way we dress, gesticulate, talk, other physical characteristics like hairstyle, home decor, etc. Often, the use of non-verbal communication occurs unconsciously or involuntarily, and those around us learn to understand us based on how they interpret non-verbal communication for themselves. Therefore, in the modern world, non-verbal means of communication are highly valued, their meanings are studied and even how to use them properly is taught. Understanding gestures and facial expressions facilitates mutual understanding of people. It is noteworthy that verbal communication covers only forty percent of the transmitted information. The remaining sixty percent is non-verbal communication, that is, communication using gestures, facial expressions, and posture. Theauthors came to the conclusion that nonverbal means of communication are as important as linguistic means in the process of communication and carry vast amounts of information.

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc, popularly known as disc herniation, is characterized by calcification of the cartilaginous tissue originating from the nucleus pulposus or by bone metaplasia that extends to the fibrous ring, which may rupture and compress the bone marrow. The main clinical signs are cervical hyperpathy, ataxia, intense pain, muscle fasciculations and loss of proprioception in the limbs. Diagnosis is made through tomography or magnetic resonance imaging tests. There are two lines of treatment, conservative and surgical. The object of this work is to present a case report of intervertebral disc degeneration in a 6-year-old French bulldog dog, presenting a high degree of pain, surgical treatment performed using the ventral slot technique. Demonstrating the importance of knowledge of the pathology to choose the most appropriate treatment.

The purpose of the numerical and analytical studies was to analyze the annual temperature deformations of the long-span coating of the Sports Arena building in Tyumen. The structure of covering is made of 1915 grade aluminum alloy and is operated outdoors. Annual differences in outdoor air temperatures led to significant temperature deformations of the building covering in the transverse direction. Comparison of the obtained calculated values of thermal deformations of the roof trusses with the normative limit values made it possible to conclude that the bearing structure of the covering is poor from the point of view of perception of climatic influences. The use of classic approaches to the design of building coverings inside the thermal circuit makes it possible to significantly reduce the risks of defects and damage to structures during their long-term operation.

Article discusses the development of electric scooter short-term rental services and their impact on the structure of the mobility of the urban population based on macrosimulation results. The purpose of the study is to assess changes in the mobility structure of the population of a large city, in witch the transport that provides regular passenger transportation on paths isolated from motor roads is absent, with the development of bicycle lanes and changes in tariffs for short-term rental of electric scooters. The study found that when the cost of renting an electric scooter would decrease and the length of bicycle lanes would increase, the number of electric scooter users would increase and the number and proportion of journeys made by individual and public transport would decrease. The cost of renting electric scooters also affects the average travelling distance and therefore the business model of the service. Changing the cost of renting electric scooters is one way to manage the mobility of city dwellers. This could change the loading of the urban street and road network and public transport.
"Kultura" and Its Forgotten University in Exile
Authors: Durin-Hornyik Veronika
Published: January 2024

Instytut Literacki Kultura (ILK) was the core of anti-communist resistance during the Cold War: it promoted independent political thought and understanding among central and eastern European countries while showing resilience against Communist regimes. Although ILK is mostly known for its monthly exile magazine Kultura, edited in Polish, its founder-editor Jerzy Giedroyc had anticipated another project in addition to a Literary Institute after the war. Foreseeing a long period of exile because of the Soviet occupation of Poland, he envisioned setting up a university for young Poles. His idea, which was delayed a few years because of the beginning of the Cold War, developed into a project with Józef Czapski to create a university for young refugees fleeing their communist countries from behind the Iron Curtain. After three years of preparation within ILK, the Free Europe University in Exile and its study center, Collège de l’Europe libre, were established in 1951 under the auspices of the American anti-communist organization National Committee for a Free Europe, yet Giedroyc and Czapski were excluded from its activities. The aim of this article is to trace the history of this essentially unknown initiative of the Polish exile group using archival holdings in Europe and the United States, and to highlight its importance within ILK.
