Published: December 2020

The paper considers the system "beam - elastic foundation", in which a beam with free edges was at first on a solid elastic foundation, but when a defect suddenly forms in the foundation under the right side of the beam, part of foundation was removed from design model. As a result of calculations performed by the method of initial parameters, the displacements and internal forces for the static problem are determined. The dynamic problem of determining the forces and displacements was solved, taking into account the three vibration loads F (t) = F sinγt applied at arbitrary points d when the conditions for supporting the right side of the beam on an elastic foundation were changed, the values of the dynamics coefficients were determined. Conditions are formulated that must be taken into account when analyzing the dynamic behavior of a structure under the influence of vibration loads in the case of a change in the conditions of bearing on an elastic foundation.

Aesthetization of the christian ethical ideal in o. wilde's fairy tale «The Happy Prince»
Authors:   National Technical University of Ukraine «Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute», Aleksenko Vitaliia
Published: December 2020

The paper explores the problem of the relationship between the ideas of aesthetics and the Christian doctrine of active love in the famous tale written by O. Wilde. The research which emphasizes the Christian basis of the author's outlook became the methodological basis of the present study on the background of a detailed analysis of various assessments of the writer's position, interpreted as an immoral aesthete and as a supporter of socialist ideas or a recipient of ideas of ancient philosophy of spiritual beauty. The study proves this in detail, analyzing the plot and figurative solutions of the fairy tale «Happy Prince», taking into account the traditional Christian symbols. Thus, the image of the Prince-Statue, decorated with gold and precious stones, is interpreted as a symbol of Christ, who gives his splendor and power to save the poor. It is also reminiscent of the words of Christ, who tells a young rich man who seeks perfection to sell his wealth and give money to the poor. The very values of the earthly world, gold and precious stones, luxurious things made of them, are transparently interpreted in an ironically reduced tone. The confirmation of the fact that the aestheticization of being yields to the hidden spiritual greatness of Christian love and self-sacrifice is also that that the values of the earthly world, gold and precious stones are transparently interpreted in an ironic tone in the fairy tale. The swallow, being the ancient symbol of the Renaissance, this bird was lured by the perishable beauty of idols and tombs of Egypt, the biblical symbol of captivity. The swallow finds its purpose in the service of the Prince, scattering his precious clothes to the poor. And here the ethical criterion turns out to be higher than the aesthetic one. They are not rewarded on the Earth: the bird dies of the cold, and the remains of an unpresentable statue of the prince are demolished, the decisive word to belong to the professor of aesthetics. However, the angel of God brings the most precious things he has found in this city to the heavenly palaces of the Lord: the tin heart of the Prince, torn by grief, and a dead bird. By analyzing the writer's ideological system with implicit implications, Wilde's position is quite obvious: despite his apparent admiration for the aesthetics of beauty, the writer rejects ultimately the doctrine of aesthetics and exalts Christian values, setting out his concept in the style of a parable.
Causality as philosophical, logical and linguistic category

Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the study of a functional-semantic category of causality, one of the central cognitive structures of human consciousness. The essence of this category can be fully revealed only taking into account its peculiarities in the systems of other sciences, namely philosophy and logics. The definition of the linguistic category of causality reflecting its philosophical and logical comprehension is presented. It confirms the possibility to apply the functional approach to studying lexical and grammatical forms belonging to different language levels and expressing causative-consecutive relations in a unified system.
Synonymy of economic terms in American political discourse (based on presidential election speeches of H. Clinton and D. Trump)
Authors:   National University of Ostroh Academy, Zablotskyi Yurii
Published: December 2020

The paper is devoted to the issue of synonymy in English economical terminology used within American political discourse. The research has been conducted on the basis of presidential election speeches of H. Clinton and D. Trump in 2016. Although, the notion of synonymy is not desirable in professional communication, real communicative situations prove its inevitability. Despite the fact that these units bear some specific status in linguistic sphere, they still derive from the natural language stratum and, thus, share the same features and follow the same language rules. That is why the synonymy is present in the sphere of terminological system. However, it should also be noted that the level of synonymy varies depending on the knowledge sphere this terminology serves. Thus, the domain of social science is more inclined to terminological synonymy that the sphere of exact science. The conducted analysis has shown that the use of economical terminology in presidential election speeches performs basic communicative role – informing voters about candidates’ economic agenda. The observed in these cases synonyms have demonstrated the absolute level of interchangeability. Their semantic meanings do not change or change slightly having no effect on the referred item and, subsequently, on the delivered message. Some of the registered synonyms of economic terms denote quite different notions in the realm of economics but have been used with no significant difference in transmitted messages within the same context. Such usage of synonyms shows that as far as these economic terms play pure communicative role, the addresser cares little about the shades in meanings. Those terms are mostly used as a background for other candidates’ intentions like proving its competence in sphere of economics. However, in some cases the difference in variants of terms’ meaning has been deliberately used by both politicians to achieve their political objectives. This effect has been achieved through metaphorization of denoting elements of some terms leading to unclear and vague term meaning, therefore providing the denoted item with some level of assessment and positive or negative connotation. Such features of economic terminology has been caused by the pragmatic nature of political discourse itself, where every element serves the overall purpose – to gain political dividends through manipulation of addressee’s mind.
Dynamics of non-specialised nouns in new economic journalism
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European National University, Prudnykova Tetiana
Published: December 2020

The process of close interconnection between stability and variability in the Ukrainian language system is reflected in economic news of Ukraine, financial reports of organisations, government, ministries, etc., where, along with the established terms, some nouns which are not characteristic of that specific text type are used, therefore, it makes the research more comprehensive and enables to achieve in-depth understanding of the problem. The purpose of the paper is systematic description of non-specialized nouns, and explanation of their semantic and functional-stylistic potential. The research objectives are to differentiate words with direct and abstract meanings, to identify new semantic colouring of analysed lexical items and to determine the features of derivative nominations. The dynamics of lexical-semantic system of the Ukrainian language reflects the use of nouns with a new meaning that has developed on the basis of non-derivative words with direct semantics. Such linguistic units that are used in economic paperss form two groups. The first one includes those that, like their correlate, are remained as specific nominations: бики, монстр, моцарт. The second one is formed by the substantives that, in the non-specialised functioning in the texts on economic content, show the transition to the sphere of the abstract ones: коридор, стеля, шторм. Enrichment of the media space on economic topics is achieved by nouns that are related to the derivative words. Usually, they mark different subject processes, rarely states and specific subjects. Such nominations have occurred as a result of reinterpretation of the meaning of the substantives for which the spoken verbs and the verbs that are used in figurative meaning serve as formative ones. The role of the formant falls on the suffixes -енн-, -інн-, -нн-, rarely – -тв-, -ок-, -ація: зміцнення, ослаблення, падіння, оготівковування, гонитва, стрибок, тінізація. Non-specialised nouns that function in the texts on economic topics have occurred as a result of reinterpretation of words formed by zero suffixation: розворот, відтік, навар, відкат. Limited efficiency in economic topics is shown by substantives formed from nouns by suffixation: бізнесюк, парасолька, as well as composites (банкопад) and juxtaposites (маски-шоу). The Ukrainian media discourse of the early XXI century is too sensitive to linguistic changes. The dynamics is characteristic of direct and abstract nouns that are used in economic papers and correlate with non-derivative and derivative substantives.
Verbal means of information and psychological warfare
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Tarasova Vitalina
Published: December 2020

The article focuses on linguistic and cognitive peculiarities of the information and psychological warfare and its manifestation in the Ukrainian and Russian languages with the help of innovative verbal means. The paper analyses Russia’s information campaign against Ukraine, covering the period from the Euromaidan (2014) until 2020. It is stated that Russia’s information campaign is to be analysed in the context of the strategic narrative of the Russian government, reflected in pro-Russian mass media. It has been revealed that Russia’s information campaign was related to Russia’s military operations in Ukraine. Russia has demonstrated that in the current and continually evolving information environment, power and control can be easily gained by manipulating information to influence societal perceptions, attitudes and behaviours. The Russian narrative includes several dominant themes: promoting the Russian World which unites the Eastern Slavs, implies that Russians and Ukrainians are one nation, and recognizes the natural supremacy of Russia; portraying Ukrainians as a pseudo-nation who are unable to administer their own country and sustain their statehood, and labelling the Euromaidan protesters as nationalists, Nazis and fascists posing a threat to the ethnically Russian part of the Ukraine’s population. Narratives are supported by utilising so-called thematic communication frames. The thematic frames are a way of associating a particular impression or opinion with an object or a subject. The characteristics of thematic frames are their close relationships within a particular context and interpretation. Thematic framing can be applied to an individual, to a group of people (the inhabitants of Western Ukraine are followers of Bandera and neo-Nazis), or to a process, event or particular place in time and space. The creation of thematic frames is related to the human desire to simplify the outside world and to easily distinguish friends from foes. Thematic framing can be used to manipulate audiences. It has been proved that the means of verbalization of the information and psychological warfare reflect the perception of reality in the light of a certain ideology and mentality. The conceptualization of conflicting parties takes place in terms of such eternal values as the Good and the Evil which is here based on the dichotomy ONE’S OWN / ALIEN (Ukraine / Russia), reflecting the opposition between western and eastern civilizations. The paper determines ontological features of the dichotomy ONE’S OWN / ALIEN, introduces its model, exposes semantic structure of the key lexemes that denote ONE’S OWN / ALIEN. The investigation of neologisms allows revealing the ways and means of languages enrichment. It also exposes the semantic properties of innovations and highlights the phenomenon of the war of linguistic signs which includes the war of form and the war of meaning.
The expressional style of the novel by Jean Giono «Big flock»
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European National University, Radavska Oksana
Published: December 2020

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the stylistic peculiarities of the novel of the French writer Jean Giono «Big Flock» (1931) dedicated to the events of World War I. The article proposes to use the Gaston Bashlar’s conception «The Poetics of Fire» as a methodology for the research of the expressive style. In the French criticism there is an idea about stylistic sophistication of this work, which is defined as a model of the tragic naturalism. It is suggested to look at the style of this work from the point of view of the poetics of expressionism. It is shown that the work of J. Giono is an example of «the ardent language», which contains the bright «The Poetics of Fire» and many other means of expressionist style. The novel «Big Flock» is called an amazing work of world literature on the endlessly elaborated theme of the war 1914. According to the French criticism, the novel is written in the spirit of the tragic naturalism. In a novel hatred for a civilization that has shed so much blood is expressed with utmost power. We intend to prove the consistently expressionistic nature of this work. If we use Gaston Bashlar's concept of «Poetics of Fire» as a methodology to identify the expressionist style, it is precisely the dominant archetype of fire that will enable to move the novel by J. Giono on a style scale from tragic naturalism to expressionism. G. Bashlar is a distinguished French philosopher, cultural scientist, literary scholar of the 20th century who explores dreams, in particular the creative dream described in his work «Psychoanalysis of Fire», which examines the images inspired by the contemplation of the fire. Also in this work, the philosopher identifies specific psychological complexes that allow deeper understanding of poetic works. All the manifestations of the fire G. Bashlar connects with the creative process. The main features of the poetics of expressionism in the novel of J. Giono «Big Flock» are as follows: the active use of the fire image that makes the work an example of «The Poetics of Fire» written by Gaston Bashlyar; the fragmentation of the plot; the inciting of the naturalistic pictures of mutilation and the death; the schematized character-images, the descriptions of human appearance compared to animals; the hyperbolization of every language means; the richness of the multiple tropes, the pervasive allegory of the «great flock», which enables to bring the generalizations to the scale of all humanity, to equalize the human and the animal world as an object of destruction, etc. Apparently, there is no expressionist means that wouldn’t manifest itself in this novel.

Son yıllarda iki veya daha fazla sayıda, aynı veya farklı gruptaki malzemelerin üstün özellikleri kullanılarak oluşturulmuş kompozit elemanlar, inşaat sektörü alanına yeni bir bakış açısı kazandırmıştır. Bu malzemelerin başında mühendisliğin hertürlü alanında geniş kullanıma sahip fiber malzeme gelmektedir. Özellikle beton içine uygulanan, fiber donatı olarak tanımlanan malzeme, püskürtme veya saha betonuna süneklik özelliği kazandırmaya çalışılmaktadır. Genel olarak literatürde ve pazarlamaya yönelik ARGE laboratuvarlarında fiber donatı takviyeli betonun, eğilme etkisi altındaki davranışı incelenmekte olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada fiber donatılı takviye edilmiş betonun, eksenel basınç etkisi altındaki yapı elemanlarında kullanılması durumunda sergileyeceği davranış incelenmiştir. Yapılan deneysel çalışmada, beton karışım içine ilave edilen farklı oranda fiber ile dört farklı beton sınıfından üretilen on iki adet silindirik numune üzerinde eksenel basınç deneyleri yapılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında; farklı dayanıma sahip beton numunelere, farklı oranda fiber ilave edilmesinin, beton basınç dayanımı üzerine olan etkileri incelenmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada beton numunelerinin sonlu eleman modeli, Beton Plastikleşme Hasar Modeli yardımıyla hazırlanmıştır. Sonrasında, Abaqus/Standart sonlu eleman programı kullanarak numeneler analiz edilmiş ve deneysel veriler ile karşılaştırılarak sonlu eleman programı doğrulanmıştır.

Exploring the significance of stakeholder management in ecotourism implementation
Authors: Salman Ahmad , Jaafar Mastura , Mohammad Diana
Published: December 2020

Ecotourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors of tourism. It is considered to be an alternative to mass tourism. The negative impacts, such as loss of biodiversity and loss of natural resources is confronted with the help of ecotourism. For the past years, stakeholders are considered to be vital for ecotourism implementation. Successful implementation of the ecotourism is not possible without the understanding, involvement and management of the stakeholders. Stakeholder management is vital for the successful ecotourism implementation in the destination, but it is not as simple as it sounds. Even though many types of research have been made on the issue of achieving ecotourism sustainability in tourism destination but there is still a lack of a robust and proper model that can assist in the management of stakeholders which can help to unify stakeholders to achieve sustainable ecotourism in the destination. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the importance of identifying stakeholder management significance that can enhance stakeholder interests to unify them towards achieving sustainable ecotourism in the destination. Content analysis was done of the articles finalized for this study, and it was concluded that in order to manage stakeholders, their engagement has to be well planned by understanding their interests and level of influence. The management of the stakeholders varies accordingly to the destination due to which it has to be carefully planned so that sustainable ecotourism can be implemented in the destination.

Thrift and Credit Cooperative Lending Channels under Prolonged Low-Interest Rates: The Case of Thailand
Authors: Charnvitayapong Kovit
Published: December 2020

Since the global financial crisis of 2007–08, the United States, Japan, and the European Union (EU) have heavily stimulated their economies with expansionary monetary policy. World finance has been affected by this policy conduct. Interest rates in most open economies were pushed to very low levels and have remained low ever since. Nevertheless, monetary stimulation has not improved the economic situation to a satisfactory level as of the end of 2019. Several studies such as Claudio Borio and Boris Hofmann (2017) and Nasha Ananchotikul and Dulani Seneviratne (2015) attempted to examine the inefficiency of expansionary monetary policy by looking at bank lending channels. Koot and Walker (1980) studied monetary policy effectiveness through credit union lending channels. They found that at first, credit unions responded well to expansionary monetary policy, but after prolonged easy money policy, the response died down.

Financial knowledge or financial literacy is a crucial and fundamental factor for people's living so that they are able to survive with quality but without debts. As money is used as a medium for exchange of either goods or services, people in need of carrying out any activities involving goods and services necessarily depend on money. Unfortunately, Thailand does not emphasize on providing financial knowledge to people, namely understanding financial disciplines, plans and effective money management, for good financial decision and stability. According to a survey of the Bank of Thailand (2019), many Thai people are in debts quite early and tend to be unable to pay back for their debts punctually. This is a point that reflects their lack of skills on financial management or few financial knowledges, thus resulting in a lot of bad debts among those who lack such knowledge.

Ethical Standards/Issues: Are They Relevant to Quality Patient Care?
Authors: Abraham, CPA, MBA, FPSQua Lucille A. , Castaño Mary Caroline N.
Published: December 2020

Ethical standards/issues are sensitive matters which could mean either a life or death situation. This study involves issues like abortion, contraception, euthanasia and sanctity (holiness) of family life. It aims to determine if ethical standards/issues are relevant to quality patient care. Ethical issues can be divisive but a healthcare professional or worker does not have to be a Catholic or Christian in order to understand that one has to be always in favor of life, of human life. Any person for that matter has the natural moral law or the law imprinted in the heart and mind which enables one to do good and avoid evil, to choose what is morally right against what is morally wrong. For what is really important? To save one's life but lose it in the end or to lose one's life but save it in the end.
