As without, so within: How the brain’s temporospatial alignment to the environment shapes consciousness
Authors: Northoff Georg , Klar Philipp , Bein Magnus , Safron Adam
Published: March 2023

Consciousness is constituted by a structure that includes contents as foreground and the environment as background. This structural relation between the experiential foreground and background presupposes a relationship between the brain and the environment, often neglected in theories of consciousness. The temporo-spatial theory of consciousness addresses the brain–environment relation by a concept labelled ‘temporo-spatial alignment’. Briefly, temporo-spatial alignment refers to the brain's neuronal activity's interaction with and adaption to interoceptive bodily and exteroceptive environmental stimuli, including their symmetry as key for consciousness. Combining theory and empirical data, this article attempts to demonstrate the yet unclear neuro-phenomenal mechanisms of temporo-spatial alignment. First, we suggest three neuronal layers of the brain's temporo-spatial alignment to the environment. These neuronal layers span across a continuum from longer to shorter timescales. (i) The background layer comprises longer and more powerful timescales mediating topographic-dynamic similarities between different subjects' brains. (ii) The intermediate layer includes a mixture of medium-scaled timescales allowing for stochastic matching between environmental inputs and neuronal activity through the brain's intrinsic neuronal timescales and temporal receptive windows. (iii) The foreground layer comprises shorter and less powerful timescales for neuronal entrainment of stimuli temporal onset through neuronal phase shifting and resetting. Second, we elaborate on how the three neuronal layers of temporo-spatial alignment correspond to their respective phenomenal layers of consciousness. (i) The inter-subjectively shared contextual background of consciousness. (ii) An intermediate layer that mediates the relationship between different contents of consciousness. (iii) A foreground layer that includes specific fast-changing contents of consciousness. Overall, temporo-spatial alignment may provide a mechanism whose different neuronal layers modulate corresponding phenomenal layers of consciousness. Temporo-spatial alignment can provide a bridging principle for linking physical-energetic (free energy), dynamic (symmetry), neuronal (three layers of distinct time–space scales) and phenomenal (form featured by background–intermediate–foreground) mechanisms of consciousness.
Parent-child mutuality and relationship-based parenting: Evaluating Circle of Security Parenting effectiveness
Authors: Gregory Tash , Thirsk Lorraine , Fraser Shawn N. , Rinaldi Christina M. , Rempel Gwen R.
Published: March 2023

The Circle of Security® Parenting™ (COSP™) program is a relationship-based intervention that targets attachment security and caregiver internal working models. Effectiveness and efficacy research utilizing observational measurement of parent-child interaction remains limited in the Circle of Security® literature and few studies have examined changes in parent-child/dyadic mutuality as a construct of interest. The aims of this exploratory study were to evaluate the efficacy of COSP™ by examining changes in dyadic mutuality and parent positivity/negativity using the Parent Child Interaction System (PARCHISY), a validated observational measurement tool, in 16 parent-child dyads. A quasi-experimental repeated measures design was employed to investigate changes in observed parent-child interaction before and after the 8-week COSP™ intervention and across two tasks, structured play and clean-up. Analyses revealed theoretically predicted positive changes in dyadic mutuality and parent positivity and no significant change in parent negativity. These results support the utility of PARCHISY in the assessment of attachment-focused parenting interventions.
Socioeconomics of Urban Travel in the U.S.: Evidence from the 2017 NHTS
Authors: Wang Xize , Renne John L.
Published: March 2023

Using the 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), this study analyzes America's urban travel trends compared with earlier nationwide travel surveys, and examines the variations in travel behaviors among a range of socioeconomic groups. The most noticeable trend for the 2017 NHTS is that although private automobiles continue to be the dominant travel mode in American cities, the share of car trips has slightly and steadily decreased since its peak in 2001. In contrast, the share of transit, non-motorized, and taxicab (including ride-hailing) trips has steadily increased. Besides this overall trend, there are important variations in travel behaviors across income, home ownership, ethnicity, gender, age, and life-cycle stages. Although the trends in transit development, shared mobility, e-commerce, and lifestyle changes offer optimism about American cities becoming more multimodal, policymakers should consider these differences in socioeconomic factors and try to provide more equitable access to sustainable mobility across different socioeconomic groups.

Status of Job Involvement in the Financial Sector of Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Prakash , Prajapati Archana
Published: March 2023

The main objective of this study is to investigate how employees perceive their level of job involvement in the financial sector of Nepal. Descriptive and analytical research designs have therefore been used in this study. To achieve the research goals, a set of research questions are created to elicit the opinions of employees. A total of 240 questionnaires—40 in each of the 6 institutions, which include 3 commercial banks and 3 insurance companies—are distributed for this purpose. 193 (80.41%) of the copies of the survey are fully completed and returned. These questionnaires are used for the research's objectives. These responses have been gathered from the chosen financial institutions' corporate, branch, and head offices. Results show that most of the employees perceive a moderate level of job involvement toward their organizations. In the case of ownership pattern, the Nepalese public sector shows higher job involvement than that of the private sector. The results further show that perceived job involvement has significant associations with all demographic characteristics that have been analyzed. This means there are different demographic effects on employees’ perceived job involvement. In the case of the banking and insurance sector, insurance sector employees hold a relatively higher level of job involvement than the banking sector employees. High-involvement workers struggle to keep work and personal life apart because they care so much about what they do. Employees' attitudes and behaviors, which in turn affect their work performance and the success of the company, are influenced by how involved they feel in their jobs. As a result, job involvement research is crucial for Nepalese workplaces.

Published: March 2023

Analysis of heavy metals was performed in packaged and fresh fruit juices along with powdered fruit drink mixes (Tangs), purchased from different stores of Kathmandu Valley, using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). Selection of Fruit Juices and Tangs was done from five different fruits, viz., apple, orange, pineapple, pomegranate, and mango in an attempt to quantify four heavy metals, i.e., Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe) and Lead (Pb). The wet digestion technique was employed for the decomposition of samples. Variability in the concentration of heavy metals was observed in various types of fruit juices, thereby verifying that the levels of heavy metals are dependent on the types of fruits as well as fruit juices. The mean concentrations of all the investigated metals (Fe, Pb, Mn, and Zn) were below the maximum permissible limit in the selected juices and tangs. Irrespective of the types of fruits or nature of juices, i.e., either packaged or fresh fruit juices or tangs, the studied samples are safe for human consumption based on studied heavy metals toxicity.

Authors: Khakural Prabhat , Baral Ravi , Bhattarai Anil , Koirala Bhagawan
Published: March 2023

Atrial septal defect is a common congenital acyanotic heart disease which is treated with either surgical closure or transcatheter closure. Although surgical closure is gold standard, transcatheter device closure is gaining popularity worldwide and in Nepal due to favourable outcome in selected patients. Device migration following transvenous closure of atrial septal defect is a common problem but its lodgment in right pulmonary artery is a rarely encountered and reported clinical scenario. Here, the authors report a case of 42-year-old female who had an embolisation of Amplatzer septal occluder to right pulmonary artery requiring urgent surgical intervention to retrieve the device.

Background: The treatment of the aesthetic region of mouth is complicated. Knowledge of the smile pattern which includes smile line, smile curvature, smile arc, labiodental relation, and tooth exposed determines the success of treatment. This is helpful in the diagnosis and treatment planning phases of aesthetic dentistry. Objectives: To determine the smile pattern in aesthetic region and to compare the different smile patterns. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was done in the department of Prosthodontics and Maxillofacial Prosthesis, Universal College of Medical Sciences, Nepal from 15th October 2021 to 15th March 2022. A total number of 355 samples were taken by convenience sampling technique. After receiving participant’s consent, study was carried out using a digital camera. The camera was set to primarily capture the area between nose and chin, with lens parallel to the apparent occlusal plane of the participants. For study purpose, individuals were told to sit and hold head normally with their head in level with Frankfort horizontal plane. Results: The total number of participants were 355 out of which 153 (43.09%) were male and 202 (56.91%) were female. In the smile line pattern, the “Average” smile line was prevalent in a maximum number of participants (223, 62.8%) followed by the high and low smile lines. There was a significant relationship between the smile arc, labiodental relationship, and the tooth displayed. Conclusion: The findings of this study determines the smile pattern of this region, thus this will be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment planning during the treatment.

Authors: Kalkan Mehmet , Yilmaz Mustafa , Oral Rasim Alper
Published: March 2023

Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna L.) is naturally distributed in southeast Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus and Western Himalayas. In Turkey, there are many isolated populations in the Black Sea, Marmara, Aegean, and Central Anatolian Regions. Many of the small populations in Turkey are endangered. In this study, the morphological and chemical characteristics of Turkish hazelnut fruits collected from seven populations were researched. In this regard, considering the morphological characteristics of fruits and kernels, significant differences were observed between the populations. Length, width, thickness, and weight averages were 15.98 mm, 15.38 mm, 12.00 mm and 1.4651 g in the fruits, and 13.03 mm, 11.22 mm, 7.64 mm and 0.5047 g in the kernels, respectively. The average shell thickness was 1.92 mm, shell weight was 0.9604 g, and kernel ratio was 35.16%. Statistically significant differences were found out between the populations whose chemical contents were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the average fat content, protein, starch, and ash were 64.1%, 15.9%, 10.2 g, and 2.5%, respectively. According to the averages in the obtained fatty acids, the main fatty acids were oleic acid (79.53%), linoleic acid (11.34%), palmitic acid (5.68%), and stearic acid (2.03%), while the rest of other oils were found in trace amounts. Overall, our results suggest that the information relating to morphological and chemical characteristics of Turkish hazelnut can be useful for discriminating among populations.
What Can Be Learned about Predatory Journals from a Failed Study? Possible Motivations behind Predatory Journals
Authors: Ross-White Amanda , Wilson Rosemary
Published: March 2023

Predatory journals, with low standards of publication, means flawed or fraudulent research can compromise future research. Often called ‘predatory’ or ‘deceptive’ publishers, both these terms have an implication that the editors and publishers behind them have a motivation to deceive or con authors. However, the motivations remain an assumption because little is known about the individuals behind these journals. This research intended to use qualitative, in-depth interviews to find out more about the individuals behind predatory journals. By engaging with them directly, we hoped to gain an understanding of how they see themselves in the publishing landscape, what value they add and how they achieve these aims. Emails received by the authors were mined for contact information of suspected predatory journals. Over the course of a year, 2552 emails were sent inviting respondents to an interview, for which there would be a small monetary compensation. Despite sending 2552 emails, only three responses were received, and all three did not schedule an interview when prompted. Two of the three requested that a translator be present. A significant percentage of the emails (36.2 per cent) bounced back, indicating the contact information was not valid. While the information gained was limited, it would appear many are aware of the dubious nature of their journal and do not wish further scrutiny by being contacted. Others may lack the English-language skills necessary to be engaged in basic written communication, let alone the more complex language and grammar of scientific publishing.

Published: March 2023

Pemanfaatan ZSM5 sintetik dalam skala besar sering bermasalah karena harganya mahal. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini akan dipelajari pengaruh subtitusi ZSM5 menjadi ZSM5-FA pada material CMZrZ terhadap kristalinitas, specific surface area, morfologi, dan keasaman. Fly ash dimurnikan dengan HCl kemudian diubah menjadi ZSM5-FA dengan metode hidrotermal. Karakterisasi XRD, XRF dan SAA dilakukan untuk mengetahui efek pemurnian dan sintesis ZSM5-FA. Pemuatan Cu, Mg, dan Zr pada ZSM5 maupun ZSM5-FA dilakukan dengan deposisi-presipitasi untuk menghasilkan material CMZrZ dan CMZrZ-FA. Kedua material tersebut dikarakterisasi dengan XRD, XRF, SAA, SEM-EDS, dan NH3-TPD untuk mempelajari efek penambahan logam dan subtitusi ZSM5. ZSM5-FA berhasil disintesis berdasarkan kemiripan spektra XRD ZSM5-FA dengan ZSM5, kecocokan spektra XRD ZSM5-FA dengan ICDD 00-037-0361 (standar ZSM5) dan perubahan bentuk kurva isoterm adsorpsi-desorpsi. Logam Cu, Mg, Zr berhasil ditambahkan pada ZSM5 maupun ZSM5-FA dengan fasa utama berupa logam oksida (CuO, MgO, dan ZrO2). Penambahan logam tidak mempengaruhi kristalinitas, morfologi, porositas tetapi menyebabkan penurunan luas permukaan spesifik, keasaman total dan situs asam kuat, serta peningkatan situs asam lemah. Subtitusi ZSM5 tidak mempengaruhi kristalinitas, morfologi, porositas, keasaman tetapi menyebabkan kenaikan luas permukaan spesifik.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to explore children’s lived experiences with the Ontario Student Nutrition Program (OSNP), a free, school-based snack program implemented in elementary schools in Southwestern, Ontario, Canada, to gain insights into future school food programs (SFP).

Methods: Focus group discussions (n=17) were conducted with 105 children in Grades 5 to 8 in seven elementary schools. Focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded for themes using inductive content analysis.

Results: Overall, children appreciated the OSNP and felt that it filled a need in students. Children also reported a willingness to try novel food items. For future SFPs, participants recommended that input be sought from children to ensure food preferences were considered. Children also discussed wanting more appealing food offerings that may include some choice. Finally, children also mentioned wanting a fair and equitable distribution of food in classrooms.

Conclusions: Children appreciated the OSNP and reported benefits to themselves and their peers. They also provided some valuable recommendations for future SFPs. If a nationally funded SFP is to be considered in Canada, children expressed the need to make the program equitable, while still allowing schools the flexibility to meet their unique needs and preferences.

Flash chromatography and Semi-Preparative High Performance Liquid Chromatography have showed themselves as promising separation tools. These techniques assist in the process of isolation, fractionation and purification of chemical, biological and pharmaceutical substances. The present article describes the recent advancements made in flash chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC techniques in the last decade with specific focus on natural products. This article highlights the basics, instrumentation, current advancements made to facilitate the separation, advantages and applications of these two techniques. Flash chromatography is a versatile tool for the rapid but efficient separation and purification of analytes in relatively pure form. Nowadays, there are even functionalized silica pre-packed cartridges with different silica weights and particle sizes that are available to use. Flash separation using dual columns can be used to enhance separation of complex mixtures and can be applied to numerous classes of compounds. The semipreparative techniques, despite their high cost, can be helpful in high purity separation and production of reference standards for the pharmaceutical industry. This comprehensive review presents a brief analysis of all the recent research employing these two techniques for varied applications. This review will help chromatography specialists to make the decision of applying these two techniques in order to accelerate their research and development journey.

Application of game theory for modeling information security problems
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Kazimko V. V.
Published: March 2023

There is a continuous development of information technologies in terms of diversity and level of their complexity, which is accompanied by an increase in requirements for information protection. With the development of scientific progress, attackers also improve their skills and knowledge causing more damage. Constant communication and increased availability of computing resources for attackers help them to carry out complex and distributed attacks at any moment of time. Since the beginning of the Internet, researchers have been studying the problem of cyber security. However, the problem is far from completely solved. Re-cently, game theory concepts have been applied to all levels of security, including cyberspace, often referred to as security games. Games involve the actions of two or more rational players who have a certain strategy and compete for a certain reward. Game theory secures escrow using quantitative security measures rather than the qualitative measures provided by cryptographic security. In addition, game-theoretic approaches can be extended to design mechanisms that allow system designers to shift balances and predict outcomes in favor of defenders using complex play designs. Qualitative ways of overcoming traditional approaches to cyber security and privacy with game theory methods were described. In addition, in relation to cyber privacy, game theory has applications in information sharing, anonymity, privacy, and cryptography. This article examines research on game theory and differential game theory in network security at the applied level. It has been observed that most research works applying game theory concepts are not network specific due to the complexity of cyberspace. So, we present the best research methods that can be used to achieve better results in the defense of cyberspace using game theory.
Development of instrument classification system administration of servers
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Katkov Yu. I.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the topical issue of searching for methods of application of server system administration tools that provide the ability to manage and maintain the server infrastructure of the cloud environment. The task is to determine the classification of system administration tools that are necessary for effective system administration of cloud servers. It is known that the system administrator is responsible for managing and maintaining the server infrastructure that helps the company achieve its business goals. To perform a variety of tasks, you need to decide on the choice of server administration tools from a variety of existing or new ones. This raises difficulties in selecting the most effective means of solving problems and describing these administrative tools for study due to the lack of defined criteria for selecting the appropriate tool for the relevant administrative situation. This is especially important when there are issues of training system administrators, i.e. it is necessary to achieve certain learning objectives, after which the administrator will be able to: describe the functions of the administration center; rules for effective use of toolkits for system administration, cross-platform administration tools, tools for automation of individual administration tasks; use various analyzers and administration sniffers, remote server administration tools to manage servers; determine the order of server scheduling; to find special software for maintenance and configuration of many computer systems and monitoring networks, as well as various utilities, applications and administrators for administration. To solve this problem, the article proposes a method for determining the characteristics for the classification of many administration tools by determining the types of system administrators: database administrator; server administrator; network administrator; security administrator; web administrator; systems engineer; reliability engineer. The list of groups of typical tasks is defined: administration of users and groups of users; administration of system security tools; administration of local and network printers; event and resource monitoring; data archiving and recovery. Classes of tools of automation of tasks of system administration are offered: packages of tools for system administration, cross-platform tools of administration, tools in the form of automation of separate tasks of administration. The analysis of classes of tools for system administration is carried out. It is shown that knowledge of system administration tools is necessary to troubleshoot, test, communicate, and fix systems that are required to continue. With the right tools, the work becomes less tedious, as many tasks can be performed with these system administration tools.

Člankom se želi pokazati da je biblijski govor o Božjoj srdžbi konstitutivan za istinsku kršćansku sliku o Bogu i da se takav govor ne smije zanemariti, jer je sastavni dio kršćanske vjere. Rad upozorava na to da obilni biblijski zapisi o božanskoj srdžbi otkrivaju Boga koji je zahtjevan Bog – i to radi nas i našega spasenja – te da Božja srdžba ne isključuje Božju ljubav i milosrđe, nego upravo iz njih proizlazi kao radikalni način njihova iskazivanja i poziva na obraćenje. Članak je podijeljen u četiri dijela. U prvom se dijelu prikazuju suvremeni konteksti zbog kojih govor o Božjoj srdžbi postaje neprihvatljiv. Potom se dva poglavlja bave sintezom biblijskoga govora o Bogu, uz uvodne naznake o razlikovanju božanske i ljudske srdžbe. U trećem dijelu izvode se teološki zaključci biblijskoga nauka o Božjoj srdžbi, pri čemu postaje razvidno da se Bog srdi na čovjeka jer je njegov stvoritelj, jer postoji grijeh, jer Bog nije ravnodušan spram čovjekova stanja, jer želi dijalog s čovjekom i ne čeka da čovjek sam spozna grijeh. U konačnici, Bog se srdi na čovjeka grješnika i na narod jer je milosrdan.
Jesus and the Leper in Mark 1:40-45: A Biblical Theology Index for the Management of COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Naseri Christopher
Published: March 2023

Jesus’ response to the leper’s request in Mark 1:40-45 tempers the harsh reality of laid down protocols for the management of leprosy. Against the physical distance of the time, Jesus takes the risk of touching the leper. He restores his battered dignity, heals him, and shows solidarity. The COVID-19 pandemic has stigmatized the human person as a weapon of infection. This situation has questioned the nature of man as a social being and impeded inter-human relationships. Using the synchronic approach of the historical critical method for the study of this text of Mark, this work compares the challenges of the leper in the ministry of Jesus with the threats posed by COVID-19. It concludes that both situations stereotype the human person and affect interpersonal relationships. It proposes Jesus’ compassionate disposition and sense of solidarity as indices for the management of the COVID-19 crisis.
Evangelizacijska i katehetska dimenzija Maloga koncila
Authors: Pažin Ivica
Published: March 2023

Više od pedeset godina postojanja Maloga koncila pruža mogućnost istražiti njegovo značenje u vjerskom odgoju mnogih generacija. Mali koncil promatra se u kontekstu života Crkve nakon Drugoga vatikanskoga koncila, pri čemu je, nakon uklanjanja katoličkoga vjeronauka iz javnih škola, taj časopis na određeni način preuzeo ulogu katehete. U sladu s njegovim ciljevima, časopisu se pristupa kao mediju, koji ima funkciju podržavanja postojećega vjerskoga odgoja ili ga se sagledava kao periodiku koja ima zadaću njegova nadopunjavanja. Najznačajnija za Mali koncil jest njegova evangelizacijska i katehetska dimenzija, kojom tumači život u svjetlu vjere, a vjeru razumije u kontekstu života. Kratka usporedba Maloga koncila s drugim postojećim časopisima za djecu i mlade još jednom pokazuje važnost toga vjerskoga časopisa za djecu i mlade.

Pedagoška istraživanja zagovaraju humanistički pristup koji promiče cjelovit razvoj pojedinca, stoga cilj školovanja nije samo stjecanje znanja, već uvažavanje njegovih interesa i potreba, gdje se uz intelektualne ističu i emocionalne značajke razvoja. Kako bi se razvijala učenička odgovornost, tolerancija, kritičko mišljenje, samostalnost i uspješno komuniciranje, neophodni su odgovorni i moralni učitelji, svjedoci vrijednosti. Profesionalno kompetentni učitelji trebaju biti svjesni implicitnih utjecaja unutar i izvan odgojno-obrazovne ustanove, koji utječu na kulturu škole i usvajanje temeljnih vrijednosti svih dionika. Danas je više nego ikad potrebno voditi se postavkama pedagogije djelotvorne ljubavi don Bosca, koji je odgajao vlastitim primjerom te utvrdio temelje preventivnoga sustava utemeljenoga na ljubavi prema učenicima.

Water is a very important compound for the life of living things including humans for daily needs, one of the sources of water comes from well water. Problems encountered in the well water, including the quality that does not meet quality standards. The water parameters include iron content which according to well water quality standards is 0.3 mg/l. Water quality can be improved by using the electromagnetic induction method. This study aims to analyze the decrease in iron content and dissolved ions due to electromagnetic induction. This research method uses survey and experimental methods. The survey was carried out at Surya Akbar Talang Jambe's residence accompanied by well water sampling and continued with experiments, namely the treatment of the electromagnetic induction method to reduce the levels of iron and dissolved ions. The iron content value of the well water before treatment was 47.85 ppm with 50, 80, and 100 coils and after the treatment the iron content value decreased to 45.79 ppm, 45.62 ppm, and 45.53 ppm, respectively. The parameters of dissolved ions were measured by Electrical Conductivity (EC) meter, the results obtained before treatment were 54.7 S/cm and after induction treatment with 50.80, and 100 turns, each obtained 43 S/cm, 42.8 S/ cm, and 40.6ÂµS/cm.

The article examines the peculiarities of Yurii Klen’s flash fiction creation in the genre and stylistic aspect, drawing attention to the individual modes of artistic existence, the metaphysical perspective of modeling reality. Using specific examples, an attempt was made to analyze the genre and stylistic originality of flash fiction, highlighting the peculiarities of the existential manifestations, the unknowable and irrational in the human Self through the prism of style dynamics, psychological aspects. It has been proved that the verbal transmission of sounds and songs clearly and exhaustively reveals auditory perception, fills the work with deep associations, and helps the character to learn more about the world. Musicality enhances the inner image of the hero, his dreams and hopes. For the first time, we have clarified and interpreted the genre peculiarities of the short story “Apples”. It has been revealed that the linguistic ornament enriches the lyrical prose of Yurii Klen. Although ornamental poetics is modeled only in certain parts of texts, it performs fundamental functions for the entire prose work, because it expresses various leitmotivs, more comprehensively reveals the perception of the world, creates multi-aspect subtexts, intensifies the suggestive function of the word, space-time parameters, more clearly illuminates the point of view of the characters. The linguistic ornament in the short story “Apples”, in the novellas “Medallion”, “Acacia”, “Adventures of the Archangel Raphael” makes it possible to reach the level of the ontological field of social reality, to identify the philosophical line, to expand or change the scale of the artistic world, that is, the depicted one. In the Yurii Klen’s prose, ornamental poetics is distinguished by the associativity of thoughts, images, the sophistication of sayings, the richness of metaphors and other artistic devices of representation. Lyrical prose of the writer reveals the position, attitude of the narrator to his perception of the environment, society, life, his thoughts, feelings and experiences.

The article defines the initial theoretical provisions, discusses the main views on the essence of media discourse, as well as pragmatics and its categories: propositions, illocutions, locutions, perlocutions, presuppositions, contexts. As an initial theoretical premise, the paper adopted the position that the communicative-functional features of sentences and speech acts are determined by their purposeful use for the speaker to exercise some influence on the listener, which makes it relevant to study language units in real language communication. In accordance with this, a pragmatic approach to the analysis of the facts under study comes to the fore, which involves the study of language as an activity and as a means of communication, revealing the effective, practical purpose of language units, their correlation with the behavior and activities of the speaker. The object of this work is the verbs of speech activity in German and English media discourses. The study of the pragmatic functions of sentences with verbs of speech activity is an integral part of the general pragmatic direction in the study of linguistic phenomena, which determines the relevance of the chosen topic. In the process of analyzing the verbs of speech activity, the descriptive method and the method of quantitative assessments, as well as the method of component analysis, were used. Such an integrated approach can ensure the reliability of the results obtained. The material of the study was the verbs of speaking from German and English media texts. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the appeal to the pragmatic aspect of these verbs and in the desire to more fully describe the studied verbs. The theoretical value of the study is a fairly complete analysis of the verbs of speech activity in German and English media discourses. This problem has not yet been the subject of close attention of grammarians. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the observations made in the process of analysis can be used in the practice of teaching German and English, as well as taken into account in the courses of theoretical grammar, stylistics and discourse studies.
