Aim: Insecticides have traditionally been used to control S. litura, although bio-pesticides as alternative control measures are also in demand due to soil residual issues and other environmental dangers. Another safe technique for controlling this important pest is entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). Methodology: This study evaluated the infectivity of ten native recently isolated entomopathogenic nematodes against S. litura by assessing their penetration and multiplication in S. litura. The efficiency of the promising EPNs against second, third and fourth instars S. litura larvae was further examined. Results: Among the tested EPNs, Steinernema sp. (IARI-EPN RP 03), Heterorhabditis sp. (IARI-EPN RP 06), and Oscheius sp. (IARI-EPN RP 07) were intensely harmful to S. litura, producing 100 percent mortality in 72 hrs, followed by Steinernema sp. (IARI-EPN RP 09), which caused 92 percent mortality, and Oscheius sp. (IARI-EPN RP 10) was the least pathogenic recording 58 percent mortality. Heterorhabditis sp. (IARI-EPN RP 06) showed the maximum penetration, followed by Oscheius sp. (IARI-EPN RP 07) and Oscheius sp. (IARI-EPN RP 08), with Oscheius sp. (IARI-EPN RP 04) showed the least penetration. The second instar larvae of S. litura were highly vulnerable to EPNs, followed by third and fourth instar larvae. According to the findings, Steinernema sp. (IARI-EPN RP 03) and Heterorhabditis sp. (IARI-EPN RP 06) were most virulent against S. litura. Interpretation: As a result, both EPNs have the potential to act as biological control agents for S. litura. Furthermore, the fifth instar S. litura larva were more suited for multiplication, indicating that this insect is suitable for EPN production. Field testing of these promising EPNs will reveal their efficacy in managing S. litura in a sustainable manner. Key words: Bio-pesticides, Entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis, Insects, Oscheius, Steinernema
Global conflict: Analysis of non-political factors and possible non-violent solutions in the context of sustainable development
Authors: Mokiy Vladimir
Published: September 2024

The paper presents a novel approach to the analysis of non-political factors and potential non-violent solutions to global conflicts. The distinctive feature of this approach is its focus on habitual thinking (conventional wisdom) as a research subject, rather than on the human himself. Using the systems transdisciplinarity models, the construct of individual conventional wisdom was investigated. The study identified the main types of conventional wisdom and described the types of knowledge that underlie each individual's worldview formation. Furthermore, the process of socialization through which individual conventional wisdom is integrated with the conventional wisdom of contemporary humanity was simulated. The findings of this study enabled elucidating the objective, non-political factors contributing to the global conflict associated with the completion of the first stage of socialization of the emerging liberal society. The forthcoming changes in the new model of the world order were delineated, as was the necessity to create deterrents that will soon replace nuclear weapons.  A proposal will be made to interested organizations, suggesting a joint undertaking of large-scale transdisciplinary research. The objective of this research is to establish a foundation for the attainment of non-violent solutions to the global conflict and the resolution of the problems associated with the sustainable development of humanity.)
Bistand til å opprettholde palestinsk splittelse?
Authors: Tuastad Dag Henrik
Published: September 2024

Siden 2007 har palestinerne vært splittet med en vestlig-støttet regjering på Vestbredden og en boikottet regjering under Hamas på Gaza-stripen. Gaza har samtidig vært under israelsk beleiring. Norge så i 2007 den palestinske splittelsen som et hinder for fredsprosessen og en to statsløsning. Samtidig har Norge, som leder av giverlandsgruppen, gitt direkte budsjettstøtte til regjeringen på Vestbredden under forutsetning av at Hamas ekskluderes fra det palestinske politiske systemet. Donorpolitikken har dermed bidratt til å opprettholde en splittelse Norge er imot. Det kan være grunn til å se nærmere på hvor klok utenrikspolitikk den direkte budsjettstøtten til selvstyremyndighetene på Vestbredden har vært.
Abstract in English:Support for Maintaining the Palestinian Division?Since 2007, the Palestinians have been divided, with a Western-supported government in the West Bank and a boycotted government under Hamas in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade. In 2007, Norway viewed the Palestinian division as an obstacle to the peace process and a two-state solution. At the same time, as the leader of the international donor group, the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, Norway has provided direct budget support to the government in the West Bank on the condition that Hamas is excluded from the Palestinian political system. This donor policy has thus contributed to maintaining a division that Norway opposes. It may be worth reconsidering how wise the foreign policy of direct budget support to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank has been.
Bryt med okkupasjonen: Norsk Folkehjelp og kampen for et fritt Palestina
Authors: Johansen Raymond
Published: September 2024

Det mulige folkemordet som nå spiller seg ut i Gaza er en fallitterklæring for verdens mangeårige forsøk på å løse konflikten mellom Palestina og Israel. I alle år har verdenssamfunnet forholdt seg til okkupasjonsmakten Israel og de okkuperte palestinerne uten å ta hensyn til den åpenbare maktubalansen mellom okkupert og okkupant, mellom en suveren stat og et «område». Dette har hatt katastrofale konsekvenser for mulighetene for en politisk løsning, og år for år har okkupasjonen gravd seg dypere ned i det palestinske samfunnet, så dypt at dette samfunnet står i fare for å lide kvelningsdøden. Nå gjelder det å forstå hva som har gått galt og hva som må til for at veien videre ikke skal ende i folkemord og annektering. En slik situasjon vil bety slutten på palestinernes håp om selvbestemmelse i eget land, og vil gi evig utrygghet for folk i Israel. På spill står også troverdigheten til verdenssamfunnets felles regler og institusjoner og vår evne til å fremme fred og utvikling gjennom dette felles regelverket i fremtiden.
Abstract in English:Break with the Occupation: Norwegian People’s Aid and the Struggle for a Free PalestineThe possible genocide that is now unfolding in Gaza shows how the world’s long-standing efforts to resolve the conflict between Palestine and Israel have failed. For many years, the international community has dealt with the occupying power Israel and the occupied Palestinians without taking into account the obvious imbalance of power between occupied and occupier, between a sovereign state and an “area”. This has had disastrous consequences for the possibility of a political solution, and with each passing year, the occupation has dug deeper into Palestinian society, so deep that this society is in danger suffocation. It is now imperative that we understand what has gone wrong and what is necessary to ensure that the road ahead does not end in genocide and annexation. Such a situation would mean the end of the Palestinians’ hope for self-determination in their own land, and perpetual insecurity for the people of Israel. The credibility of the international community’s shared rules and institutions and our ability to promote peace and development through these rules and institutions in the future are also at stake.
To stater og spørsmålet om når: De lange linjene i Norges tilnærming til konflikten mellom Israel og palestinerne
Authors: Søreide Ine Eriksen
Published: September 2024

Hovedlinjene i over 30 års norsk engasjement for Israel og Palestina har ligget fast gjennom vekslende regjeringer. Bare en tostatsløsning kan gi varig fred. Både realpolitiske og moralske argumenter tilsier at israelerne og palestinerne skal ha hver sin stat. I tilnærmingen mellom Israel og enkelte arabiske land lå en lovende kime til en løsning, men Hamas’ brutale terrorangrep 7. oktober og Israels hensynsløse angrep på Gaza satte en stopper for prosessen. Dynamikken etter 7. oktober har endret regionen vesentlig. Tostatsløsningen må fortsatt være målet for vår innsats. Høyre støtter en anerkjennelse av staten Palestina, men anerkjennelse bør komme på et tidspunkt der den best kan bidra til en løsning på konflikten, og det tidspunktet er ikke nå.
Abstract in English:Two States and the Question of When: The Long-term Perspective on Norway’s Approach to the Conflict Between Israel and the PalestiniansFor more than 30 years, through successive governments, the main principles of Norway’s engagement for Israel and Palestina have remained firm. Only a two-state solution can bring lasting peace. Both realistic and moral arguments dictate that Israelis and Palestinians should have their two separate states. The normalization process between Israel and selected Arab countries contained promising seeds for a solution, but Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack on 7 October and Israel’s ensuing ruthless attack on Gaza halted the process. The dynamics after 7 October altered the region significantly. The two-state solution must remain the goal of our efforts. The Conservative Party – Høyre – supports recognition of the state of Palestine, but recognition should come at a time when it can best contribute to a solution to the conflict, and that time is not now.

Published: September 2024

The fastest–growing animal food-producing agricultural sector in the world is aquaculture, which accounts for almost half of the world’s food fish production.However, the expansion of high-density fish populations also brings forth a challenge–the rapid transmission and spread of infectious agents including several viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases. Expansion and successful development of sustainable aquaculture practice and increasing production largely depends upon the prevention and control of outbreaks of several emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases which can result in economic loss, food safety hazards, and environmental hazards. Vaccination strategies have become highly effective and economical in protecting the health of fish and other aquaculture organisms from various infectious diseases such as edwardsiellosis, motile aeromonas septicemia (MAS), Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) disease, infectious salmon anemia (ISA), vibriosis, and white spot disease etc. An ideal vaccine is expected to be safe, effective, economical, and easily administered. Most of the available fish vaccines are empirically designed vaccines based on inactivated or live attenuated bacterin vaccines. Novel advances in the fields of immunology, biotechnology, and molecular biology have led to the development in designing novel and effective fish vaccines and the improvement of the existing vaccines to provide sufficient immune protection against diseases. This review investigates the currently available fish vaccines for use in finfish aquaculture against different infectious diseases different mode of vaccine administration with addressing pros and cons in detail. The information was collected from different secondary sources, and then compiled systematically.

El impacto de la tecnología digital sobre el trabajo: de hipótesis deterministas a márgenes de acción sindical
Authors: Gautié Jérôme , Perez Coralie
Published: September 2024

El análisis del impacto de la tecnología digital sobre el trabajo y el empleo se ha incrementado en los últimos años en el campo académico. En líneas generales la amplia mayoría de los enfoques no escapan a un cierto determinismo tecnológico. El objetivo de este artículo, en cambio, será poner de manifiesto la variabilidad en el uso de la innovación tecnológica en el mundo del trabajo, ya sea dentro de un mismo sector de actividad o incluso dentro de una misma empresa, así como evidenciar los factores (institucionales, estratégicos, organizativos) que contribuyen a explicar dicha variabilidad. Desde el punto de vista empírico, se basa en los resultados de estudios de caso realizados en países de Europa central, en el marco de una investigación comparativa sobre la aplicación de innovaciones tecnológicas y organizativas en varios sectores, entre ellos la logística y la aeronáutica. En particular se presentará el caso del sector de la logística (estudiado en Francia y Alemania), donde predomina el escenario del "taylorismo digital", antes de abordar el caso de la aeronáutica, donde, aunque parece prevalecer un escenario de "mejora" de las condiciones de trabajo, existen diferencias significativas de un país a otro (aquí se estudian Francia y Suecia). Por último, a partir de las conclusiones arribadas luego del análisis de ambos sectores, se examinan los factores que pueden influir en la aparición de uno u otro escenario, y en particular en el papel que pueden desempeñar los sindicatos.
Entre la inactividad y el pluriempleo: la participación de las juventudes en el mundo del trabajo en la Argentina poscovid
Authors: Busso Mariana , Pérez Pablo
Published: September 2024

Lejos de la sociedad del no trabajo que imaginaban diversos teóricos de principios de los ochenta por la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías, los mercados de trabajo actuales muestran una clase trabajadora vigente, dependiente de su fuerza de trabajo para poder subsistir, aunque cada día más heterogénea, y en la que las juventudes presentan comportamientos distintivos. Es por ello que en el presente artículo buscamos analizar la inserción laboral de las juventudes durante la pandemia y postpandemia en la Argentina, y particularmente estudiar las diversas estrategias desplegadas por varones y mujeres jóvenes en un contexto que combina una nueva oleada tecnológica que amenaza destruir múltiples puestos de trabajo, y las consecuencias inmediatas sobre los mercados laborales derivadas del contexto socioeconómico producto de la pandemia del Covid-19. Desde una perspectiva metodológica cualitativa explicitaremos un escenario en el que las juventudes deambulan entre situaciones de inactividad y el desempeño de varias actividades laborales en simultáneo, situación definida por la bibliografía como pluriempleo. A lo largo de este artículo buscaremos comprender ambas realidades en apariencia antagónicas, a la luz de experiencias de vida de jóvenes.
Las nuevas condiciones estructurales del trabajo: procesos de desalarización y empobrecimiento por ingresos en la Argentina reciente (2016-2023)
Authors: López Emiliano
Published: September 2024

En los últimos años, aún con períodos de recesión asociados a la caída de la actividad propia de la pandemia y a las políticas aplicadas durante el gobierno de cuño neoliberal, el mercado de trabajo argentino ha presentado indicadores relativamente estables. Bajas tasas de desempleo, bajas tasas de subocupación, altas tasas de actividad y elevados niveles de desigualdad al interior de la clase trabajadora son algunos de los datos salientes del período. Más allá de estos indicadores, podemos identificar dos procesos de largo aliento que operan como tendencias comunes a la mayor parte de los países latinoamericanos. Por un lado, un acentuado y sostenido proceso de desalarización que trae aparejados tanto efectos subjetivos como objetivos sobre las condiciones de parte importante de la clase trabajadora argentina. Por otro, una masa de trabajadores/as asalariados/as que poseen ingresos menores a la canasta de pobreza. En este artículo indagamos acerca de cómo operan los efectos de estas tendencias del capitalismo contemporáneo en Argentina. En particular, analizaremos los efectos diferenciales de los procesos de desalarización y empobrecimiento de la clase trabajadora argentina de acuerdo con su posición en la estructura social. El estudio se basa en un análisis cuantitativo a partir de estadísticas oficiales de la Encuesta Permanente Hogares (EPH) para el período 2016-2023.

Published: September 2024

The goal of this study was to evaluate sensitivity of intraoperative Computed Tomography (iCT) imaging for the detection of orbital foreign bodies (OFBs) in an in vitro model and evaluate iCT efficacy for surgical planning of OFB detection and removal in veterinary patients. Three canine patients were presented to our hospital for potential orbital foreign body removal. In vitro studies were conducted using a canine skull model with placement of various OFBs. Four different examiners utilized CT imaging to evaluate the detection of OFBs. A surgical navigation system was employed to assess the feasibility of stereotactic orbital foreign body retrieval in vitro. iCT imaging was applied for surgical planning and guidance of orbital surgery for the removal of OFBs in three clinical patients. In vitro experiments revealed a high detection rate for objects with high radiopacity such as metal and glass. The detection rate for organic foreign bodies such as wood was moderate, while for plastic foreign bodies ranged from moderate to low. Navigation was successfully used for OFB retrieval. iCT was effectively employed for detecting OFBs in clinical patients. However, porcupine quills were better detected using standard ultrasound imaging. The use of iCT potentially represents an evolving technological practice that enables real-time imaging to improve the precision of surgical procedures.
Resistance and stylistic reverence: A typological study of colonial facades in Tlemcen (Algeria)
Authors: Bemmoussa Wissem Cherif , Mazouz Fatima , Kari Nabil
Published: September 2024

In Algeria, which was colonised for over a century, the arrival of the French colonisers led to the introduction of new architectural styles imported from Europe. This adoption of an exogenous style in a different cultural context was only made possible by French military domination. Importing and imposing a style was not always easy, as Algerian resistance was as much stylistic and socio-cultural as it was military. To illustrate this point, we have taken the case of the historic city of Tlemcen (Northwest Algeria), where the French occupiers met with stylistic resistance complicating the achievement of their colonial project. Our research raises the following question: What forms of stylistic resistance are manifested in colonial architecture in the city of Tlemcen? Our aim is to identify the specific characteristics of colonial architecture in Tlemcen, in order to bring out the signs of stylistic resistance that testify to a desire to maintain a local cultural identity despite the colonial influence. The typological analysis of colonial facades serves as a tool and a means of providing in-depth understanding of architectural facades and typological classification in view of the diversity of styles and ornamentation of colonial facades in Tlemcen. This resistance manifests itself in European revivalism in Tlemcen, which involved an exceptional effort aimed simultaneously at composition and a search for stylistic anchorage and originality. It also manifested itself at the level of the native population, who stepped in to protect their cultural heritage and identity against the colonial authorities. Moreover, a certain form of stylistic reverence can be detected, expressed in avoiding pronounced aesthetic or stylistic expressions, favouring instead a more universal and timeless appearance.
Fashion design and fashion industry: The impact of social media on customer behaviour and its current role in the fashion industry
Authors: Vavrová Katarína
Published: September 2024

This article examines the effects of social media over time and their profound impact on marketing, fashion design, and societal values. Social media is deeply integrated into everyday life across all age groups, with a particularly strong influence on young people. These platforms have transformed traditional advertising, fuelled new economic models, and driven technological advancements such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence. They have become essential in shaping digitally-driven fashion trends, promoting sustainability, and enhancing personalised experiences. However, challenges persist, including negative impacts on mental health, the spread of misinformation, and issues with data protection and identity theft. The future of social media is also moving towards decentralisation and niche communities, reflecting a shift towards more personalised and ethically aware digital interactions. The oversaturation of audiences with online advertisements has led to the emergence of niche markets and the dominant trend of micro-influencers. The role of fashion is expected to evolve, emphasising functional, culturally diverse, and holistic approaches that go beyond aesthetics. The constant dynamism of this environment ensures that social media will continue to influence our decision-making, perception of trends, and the fashion industry, while also reflecting broader societal changes and emerging individual identities. This study employs a mixed-method approach, including three conducted questionnaires that highlight significant changes in consumer behaviour. The findings suggest that alongside the increasing influence of new technologies and artificial intelligence, there is a growing desire for offline experiences, authenticity, tangibility and personalisation. The methodology, results, and conclusions presented provide a comprehensive understanding of these shifts, though predicting future developments remains challenging.
BERT-BiLSTM-Attention model for sentiment analysis on Chinese stock reviews
Authors: Li Xiaoyan , Chen Lei , Chen Baoguo , Ge Xianlei
Published: September 2024

COVID-19 has produced significant fluctuations and impacts on the Chinese stock market, and the sentiment analysis of stock reviews is important for the study of economic recovery. Owing to the shortage of well-annotated Chinese stock reviews, and the more emotional complexity and obscurity of Chinese stock review text, this paper proposes an innovative Chinese stock review sentiment analysis model BERT-BiLSTM-Attention, which encodes the stock review text by BERT to enhance the semantic feature representation of the text and the ability to understand the context, BiLSTM is then utilized to enhance the contextual information of the overall context of the review as well as the model’s comprehension of the text sequences, and then Attention mechanism is utilized to obtain important textual information and get the most effective information quickly. Experiments show that the model is effective in sentiment analysis of Chinese stock reviews, with an accuracy of 93.98%. It can be proved that the proposed model well enhances the performance of stock review text classification, and has a strong generalization ability, which can be used for sentiment analysis in many fields.

This technology has been widely used and invested in most fields, which shows its reliability and strong computing power. This technology has also played a very important role in the courses taught in colleges and universities. Because of the addition of this technology in college teaching, both language and physical and chemical disciplines have achieved very good results in college teaching, which is why all walks of life also value VR. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, VR still has many problems and difficulties that need to be solved, which also reminds us that we need to look at each issue dialectically. This paper studies the construction of an online English teaching management system in colleges and universities based on VR to achieve scientific and systematic teaching methods and good teaching results. The test results show that the quality of online college English teaching using VR technology has reached 78.93, which is 24.36 higher than that of traditional teaching methods. Therefore, the use of VR technology in English teaching has its unique advantages. This paper can also carry out effective experiments for different experimental objects.
Unlocking Agricultural Growth: Financing Channels and Financing Motivation for Chinese Medicinal Materials in Rural China
Authors: Wang Bin , Wang Wenqing , Wang Jianzhong
Published: September 2024

This study explores the financing willingness and channel preferences of Chinese medicinal materials growers. The findings reveal that the financing characteristics of Chinese medicinal materials growers are prominent, especially when facing high-yield varieties, the financing willingness has not significantly increased, and the planting scale has not blindly expanded. Preference for risk, increasing income, and expanding planting area significantly boost financing willingness. Non-agricultural income, agricultural income, planting area, planting experience, and skill training influence growers’ access to formal financing channels. The research identifies that the behavioral motivation of growers is not purely rational but rather bounded rationality.
Government-Led Rural Planning And Construction In China: An Empirical Study From Jiangsu Province
Authors: Han Xinmeng , Liu Yuwei
Published: September 2024

With the expansion of investment in rural resources by the China government, it has become the main force supporting rural development initiatives, and government-led efforts have become an important angle for studying current Chinese rural development. This article takes the characteristic idyllic countryside construction in Jiangsu Province as the research object, analyzing the role played by the government in various stages of its construction practice, and forming a clear path for characteristic idyllic countryside construction. Furthermore, it combines practical village analysis to identify issues with the current “top-down” government-led characteristic of idyllic countryside construction. The study finds that the core reason for construction problems in practice is the neglect of village self-organizing capacity and insufficient alignment with actual village needs in the “top-down” construction path. This can be addressed through nurturing “bottom-up” village self-organizing capacity and optimizing the characteristic idyllic countryside construction system and path.
First record of stone moroko (Pseudorasbora parva), an invasive alien fish species, in water bodies of urban green areas in Poland
Authors: Wróblewski Paweł , Maciaszek Rafał , Kasprzak Robert
Published: September 2024

Invasive alien species are currently a major ecological problem. One such species is stone moroko, Pseudorasbora parva (Gobionidae), which has only been found to date in natural or agricultural water bodies (lakes, rivers and streams, carp ponds). Therefore, the current study is the first description of stone moroko in urban green areas (Warsaw, Poland). The fish were caught with a hydrobiological net. Four catches were conducted in ponds located in Morskie Oko Park (pond 1) and the Saxon Garden (pond 2) – two in fall and two in the spring, while two spring catches were conducted in Dolinka Służewska Park (stream). The population in pond 2 apparently survived the winter, and the fish caught in June displayed visible signs of sexual dimorphism and were significantly larger (average body mass: 1648 ± 1123 mg; range: 460–6090 mg) than those caught in the pond in the two fall samplings (404 ± 122 mg; 154–729 mg). After recording substantial numbers of specimens in the fall, no fish were caught in pond 1 during either of the spring catches, while only a few moroko were caught in the stream in April (1212 ± 869 mg; 454–2901 mg) and none were caught in June. Throughout the study, 59 specimens were caught in pond 1, 74 in pond 2, and 7 in the stream.
The role of education in shaping public opinion in Albania
Authors: Fishta Kleda
Published: September 2024

Numerous research studies have associated the two variables - the educational level and public opinion creation. Various sociological and political studies interchangeably demonstrate how the creation of attitudes, affected by the function of the media and education, shapes public opinion on significant issues involving the lives of communities and individuals. Education promotes changing of attitudes and behavior, including the ability to accept new arguments and reflect on one’s own experiences. This process can be prompted by exposure of new arguments and the ability to critically reflect on the available piece of information. In the history of Albania, there has been limited civic engagement regarding numerous issues. In this sense, main objective of this manuscript is the analysis and the way how education has shaped public opinion in Albania.

Objective

Despite trials and programs for the prevention of childhood mortality due to pneumonia, Ethiopia is among the top five countries with the highest number of deaths due to pneumonia. Although the prevalence of pneumonia has increased in the above-mentioned trials, little is known about the recovery time from severe pneumonia and its predictors in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the time to recovery from severe pneumonia and its predictors among pediatric patients admitted to Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital, Ethiopia, in 2022.

Methods

A total of 591 children admitted for severe pneumonia were selected using simple random sampling. Data were entered into Epi-data version 4.4.2.1 and exported to STATA version 14 for analysis, and the assumptions of Cox proportional hazard models and goodness of fit were assessed through Shoenfeld residual and Cox-Snell residual, respectively. Bivariate and multivariable Cox regression models were used to identify the predictors of mortality.

Results

This study revealed that 91.54% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 89.00–93.53) of participants recovered with an incidence rate of 24.10 (95% CI: 22.15–26.21) per 100 person-day–observations. The hmedian recovery time of children was 4 days (95% CI: 2–6). Children who were not exclusively breastfed (AHR = 1.3; 95% CI: 1.03–1.66), who had a history of inability to suck/feed (AHR = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.65–0.99) were independent predictors of the time to recovery.

Conclusions

Children with severe pneumonia who had not exclusively breastfed and who had a history of inability to suck/feed were independent predictors of time to recovery. Therefore, all stakeholders and concerned health care providers should focus more on early diagnosis and management and hasten early recovery based on the identified factors.
The Theory of Ecotranslatology in the Development of Translation Skills of Chinese Students
Authors: Petrova L. G. , Sun J.
Published: September 2024

The present study aims to analyse the theory of ecotranslatology developed by the Chinese translator and theorist Hu Gengshen. The authors pay great attention to the application of its basic principles to teaching translation in general, and to the development of translation skills of Chinese students in particular. The main research methods are descriptive and comparative analysis, the systematization of language material, contextual analysis, and component analysis. In the course of the study, an experiment was conducted in which more than 30 Chinese students took part. Authentic texts of works of Russian fiction were used for the study. By analysing the examples of the translation of the works of A. P. Chekhov and N. A. Taffy into Chinese, the authors of this article demonstrate the main difficulties encountered in the practice of translation. A number of recommendations are given to help Chinese students develop translation skills from Russian into Chinese. In their conclusions, the authors point out that when teaching translation, it is necessary to draw students’ attention to the careful study of scientific works on the theory of translation, develop a sense of language, expand their working vocabulary so as not to lose the emotional colouring of the work in the process of translation, and remember that the study of phraseological units is a cognitive process.
The Dynamic and Systemic Principles of Synergistics in Functional Linguistics
Authors: Malakhova V. L.
Published: September 2024

The present article describes the specifics, principles and methods of synergetics as a promising area of modern research. Synergetics is presented by the author as a holistic integral paradigm used in many sciences, which confirms its interdisciplinary and even universal nature. The object of this paradigm is the interaction of complex systems, and since the mere concept of “system” is widely used in many scientific fields, the relevance of synergetics is beyond doubt. The author describes the main characteristics of the structure and functioning of a system. The key concepts of synergetics and their explanation are also given. Further, the article discusses the branches of linguistics that are based on the principles of synergetics – linguosynergetics and functional linguosynergetics as a variety of it. Since the study of text and discourse and their parameters as complex systems is of particular interest to many linguists, linguosynergetics has become one of the most indemand scientific paradigms in this area of research. The author points out the objectives and tasks of linguistic synergetics, and functional linguosynergetics in particular, as well as their basic concepts, principles and methods. Attention is also paid to the functioning of linguistic means and the formation and interpretation of meaning depending on certain discursive space. The author comes to the conclusion that, thanks to synergetics, language can be studied from specific angles, and the application of its principles greatly contributes to the theory of the evolution of language. Linguosynergetics provides ample opportunities for describing language/text/discourse as a complex, dynamic, open system, and functional linguosynergetics, in turn, helps describe the features of its functioning and evolution.
Functions of Stereotypes in Mass Culture in the Context of Critical Multiculturalism
Authors: Kamalova S. D.
Published: September 2024

This article offers a project-based English lesson with university students, which is aimed at studying the way that stereotypes function in mass culture. Critical multiculturalism is currently gaining more and more attention among researchers. Its rise is reflected in English language study books, which stands in stark contrast with the inexhaustible popularity of stereotypes in popular culture. Meanwhile, it is noteworthy that stereotypes are viewed not only as clichéd images of ethnic and socio-cultural groups, but they also participate in categorizing the flow of incoming information and thus act as an essential tool of cognition. During the preparation for the project-based lesson, students studied and analysed the functioning of stereotypes in various samples of popular culture, including commercials and memes, and then presented the results of their research in class. With the help of the teacher, the students identified the following functions of stereotypes in popular culture: cognitive, persuasive, integrative, reflexive, entertaining (including sarcastic), therapeutic, and the function of compression. Further research may continue this list and describe the hierarchical relations between the functions.
