Features characterising the lexical units of the terminological system of the special field “Hydrotechnical construction” or “Hydrotechnical engineering”
Authors: Galankina Inna Ivanovna , Perfilieva Natalia Vladimirovna
Published: April 2023

The paper considers the specifics of the units belonging to the terminological system “Hydrotechnical construction”. The study aims to systematise the lexical units that form the terminological system “Hydrotechnical engineering” for their optimal presentation in educational materials in language for specific purposes for foreign students. The authors analyse the main groups of the specialised vocabulary of “Hydrotechnical engineering”: terms, terminological phrases, prototerms, terminoids and professionalisms. The scientific novelty of the study is the object itself, i.e. the units of the terminological system “Hydrotechnical engineering”, which were presented fragmentarily in the authors’ previous works. It is the first time that such a feature as variability of meanings characterising the terminological units belonging to the “Hydrotechnical engineering” type of language for specific purposes has been described, which largely determined the diffuseness of the boundaries of micro-fields within this terminological system. Hydrotechnical terms, their intrasystemic relationships and derivational models served as the subject of analysis. The etymological analysis made it possible to present the terminologisation and determinologisation of individual terms, using the example of which the diffuse nature of the system “Hydrotechnical engineering” was illustrated. As a result of the study, the uniqueness of one of the oldest terminological systems of the Russian language has been proved.
Colour signs-symbols in the artistic discourse as components of the cultural semiosphere (on the material of the ethnic literature of the 20th-century USA)
Authors: Polshchykova Olga Nikolayevna , Polshchykova Alisa Konstantinovna
Published: April 2023

The research aims to identify the characteristics of colour signs-symbols as elements of the cultural semiosphere in the context of the artistic discourse of the ethnic literature of the 20th-century USA. The paper is novel in that it is the first to determine the features of formation, functioning and deciphering of colour signs-symbols as elements of the cultural semiosphere in the artistic discourse of the ethnic literature of the 20th-century USA. The authors examined the trends of saturating the works written by representatives of the peoples living in the USA in the XX century with colour naming units and revealed the primary associative potential of the colours dominating in the ethnic literature. The features of formation of a cultural sign-symbol and its functioning in the artistic discourse as a whole were identified, the levels of comprehension and interpretation of a colour symbol by the addressee-reader were studied. As a result of the research, it was found that colour signs-symbols, reflecting the peculiarities of the worldview of both American society as a whole and its individual ethnic elements, form the cultural semiosphere of the country and can be deciphered only taking into account consituationality, which requires the reader to know the cultural and historical environment in which the work was written. The process of formation of a cultural sign-symbol was also described.
Кадри тоталітарної журналістики для преси західноукраїнських областей. 40-50-ті роки хх ст. (На архівних матеріалах крайової газети «Радянська Буковина»)
Authors: Tymoshyk Mykola
Published: April 2023

For the first time in Ukrainian journalism, the issue of totalitarian journalism has been outlined. The basis of the analysis is the archival materials of the Chernivtsi regional newspaper «Soviet Bukovyna» founded in 1940, which was re-registered in 1991 with the name «Bukovyna». The specifics of the formation of the assets of «pen workers» during the Soviet era are clarified; the qualitative composition of the staff, the reasons for their turnover and the typical types of journalists of that time were analyzed; information about the trials and investigations of journalists who were widely used against them in accordance with the legislation of 1940 wasintroduced into scientific circulation; biographical portraits of individuals are given. The personnel policy of the Bolshevik Party in the western Ukrainian territories annexed on the eve of World War II had its own specifics. The editors-in-chief of the newly formed newspapers were usually verified personnel sent from the eastern regions. They were selected primarily for the most important ideological qualities – loyalty to the cause of the Bolshevik Party, the ability to pursue its policy in the entrusted case. Literary abilities, accurate knowledge of the specifics of the journalistic craft, practical experience in this field were desirable, but not decisive. With the enactment of a strict law in 1940 on criminal liability for breach of labor discipline, delays in work without good reason, the cases of a number of journalists were transferred to the district courts at the place of work. In the first postwar years, the Central Committee of the party strongly encouraged local party committees to issue to functionaries of the ideological front so-called party vouchers for work in newspaper editorial offices. Keywords: journalism of the totalitarian era, newspaper «Soviet Bukovyna», cadres of journalism, types of Soviet journalists, trials and investigations against journalists, journalistic destinies.

Conflict in Organisations: An Examination of its Types, Sources, Effects and Management Strategies
Authors: Pembi Stephen , Ikemefuna Madu , Kibikiwa Glenn M , Zoakah Joy D
Published: April 2023

Conflict is generally common in all social life. It is an inevitable part of human resources in organisations as it relates to the situation of scarce resources, division of functions, power relations, role differentiation, interest, needs and aspiration. Like other terms, conflict generates considerable uncertainty, and the idea has grown to have numerous meanings and ramifications, creating nothing less than a semantic jungle, which leaves many scholars and administrators quite ambiguous about its meaning. This study examines the sources, effects, and strategies for the management of conflict in organisations. The pursuit of divided goals and struggle over scarce resources breed conflict. This study creates super-ordinate goals and the provisions of a stable, well structure that can minimise conflict. Understanding the importance of conflict management assists the manager in having an inclusive interpretation of the conflict and its effects on the organisation's productivity. The results would be beneficial to organisations' management since they lay the groundwork for understanding Conflict in Organisations, its effects, and management strategies. The study offered some suggestions and points for further research.

The prospects for the introduction of historical and legal science at the XIX – beginning of XX of century have been determined. under the conditions of the first attempts to introduce the first national universities. It is emphasized that the strengthening of the connection of historical and legal science with the historical past of the formation of national consciousness is characteristic of the isolated period. It has been proven that mostly the very first explorations of jurisprudence marked the history of Ukrainian law as a part of Polish, Austrian, and Russian law emphasizing the principles of "common origin", in parallel Ukrainian law as an individual historical development was unfortunately not considered. Based on today's military events in the country, one of the most urgent tasks of science is the separation from the Russian concept and the Polish one, de-idealization of the missionary role of Austria. Universities in Kharkiv, Kiev, Odessa, Lviv, Chernivtsi, numerous scientific societies that emerged during the 70-90s: historicalphilological at the Kharkiv, Kiev and Odessa universities, Nestor Chronicle Historical Society, Southwestern Division of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv, Ukrainian Scientific Society in Kiev and others. initiated the development of historical and legal thought. The first Ukrainian scientific schools appeared in the university environment, although university scholars had to balance the pressure from the outside and their own internal academic values and ideals.

Published: April 2023

The relevance of this study is due, first of all, to the absence of works devoted to the history of the Sumy Theological School in the national historiography. It is indicated that the main obstacle to carrying out research on the topic is the lack of archival documents. The main group of sources of the article, on which the authors relied, are the publications of the journals of the meetings of the clergy of the Sumy school district, reports, lists of pupils, messages and appeals related to the life of the school, published in the periodicals of the diocese – «Letter for the Kharkiv Diocese», «Vedomosti and notes on the Kharkiv Diocese». These materials made it possible to recreate a more or less complete picture of school life and realize the goal of the work – to reveal the most significant aspects of the functioning of the theological school in the city of Sumy at the end of the 19th – at the beginning of the 20th century. The main text of the publication contains the following parts: a description of the circumstances of the foundation of the Sumy Theological School; description of the educational institution's finances (estimate, sources of replenishment); management of the school (congress of clergy of the Sumy school district, school board, school supervisor, custodian); teaching staff of the school; organization of educational work (educational disciplines, academic performance, Christian upbringing, cultural and educational events with the participation of students); closure of the educational institution. The authors emphasized the important role in the emergence of the educational institution of the Sumy deacon Fr. Vasyl Nikolskyi, Archbishop of Kharkiv and Okhtyrskyi Amvrosii (Klyucharyov), Sumy businessmen I. G. Kharitonenko and D. I. Sukhanov. Among the staff of the school, more attention was paid to its supervisor A. F. Gruzov and teacher F. F. Gorain according to the availability of sources. The conclusions indicate the prospects for further research on the chosen topic. First of all, it is an interesting reproduction of the psychological atmosphere of the school, the nuances of the teachers' pedagogical creativity, the relationships within the student groups, as well as between students and teachers. The authors consider their research in the field of microhistory as a component of a complex of research on the history of secondary education institutions in Sumy.
DEVELOPMENT OF MULTILATERAL INTERSTATE COOPERATION ON GENDER ISSUES IN THE MIDDLE EAST (END OF THE XX – BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY)
Authors:   Чорноморський національний університет імені Петра Могили, Тихоненко Ірина , Кириченко Єлизавета ,   Чорноморський національний університет імені Петра Могили
Published: April 2023

The article attempts to analyze the development of forms and manifestations of multilateral intergovernmental cooperation on gender issues in the Middle East at the end of the 20th - beginning of the 21st century. The Middle East region, in religious and civilizational dimensions, is quite specific in terms of the comprehensive implementation of the ideas of feminism and overcoming gender gaps. However, as a result of the study, the effectiveness of the region’s involvement in both global initiatives on gender issues and the formation of its own mechanisms and tools for the protection of women was revealed, which is implemented in the following practical acts. Firstly, the involvement of the Middle East region as an object of activity of the United Nations Structure for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women (“UN-Women”) aimed at protecting women in conflicts and granting equal rights to women alongside men. Secondly, the formation of a regulatory framework and programs on gender issues in the activities of the regional organization  the League of Arab States (LAD). It was found that the existing mechanism of intergovernmental cooperation in the LAD regarding the implementation of gender equality and the role of women in Arab society is not sufficiently effective, given the advisory nature of the organization’s decisions, and it is not sufficiently implemented in practice by all Middle Eastern states. It should be stressed on the positive and fruitful activity of the Arab Women Organization, which has a number of programs for the protection of Arab women and their rights. Thirdly, the dialogue between the Middle East and North Africa in the format of the MENA region is quite developed – the holding of African-Arab summits between the African Union and the League of Arab States, launched in 1977, which are aimed at jointly solving gender issues. The authors concluded that the Middle East region still has to overcome a number of barriers and domestic policy changes to protect women’s rights, but the initiation and development of dialogue on a multilateral basis is a positive step in achieving global trends in ensuring gender equality and feminism in general.

Authors:   Тернопільський національний педагогічний університет імені Володимира Гнатюка, Козюпа Володимир
Published: April 2023

The article examines approval criteria, stages of implementation, and problems associated with conducting peacekeeping operations. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the United Nations criteria for approving peacekeeping operations, including the need for the consent of the parties involved and the availability of resources. The article also outlines various stages of implementation. In addition, the paper highlights the challenges and issues often encountered in peacekeeping operations, such as lack of funding, insufficient resources and political complexities. Peacekeeping operations are becoming increasingly important in resolving conflicts and promoting peace around the world. However, conducting these operations is a complex process that requires careful planning and management. To meet these challenges, policymakers and practitioners must adopt a proactive approach to peacekeeping operations, including providing adequate funding and resources, promoting effective communication and cooperation, and prioritizing the safety and security of personnel involved. The article also highlights some of the key challenges facing peacekeeping operations in the modern era, including the changing nature of conflicts, the politicization of peacekeeping and the challenges of ensuring the safety of peacekeepers on the ground. In addition, the problems of resource allocation and coordination between various participants in peacekeeping activities, such as the UN, regional organizations and member states, are explored, calling for more attention to these challenges and more effective cooperation between all participants in peacekeeping operations. It emphasizes the need for a more nuanced and adaptive approach to peacekeeping that takes into account the unique circumstances of each conflict and utilizes the experience of all parties involved. Overall, the article highlights the importance of continuing efforts to improve the effectiveness and impact of peacekeeping operations in the modern era.

Published: April 2023

Background: The benefit of transradial catheterization is well established in female patients. Women undergoing transradial catheterization exams present with unique challenges. The occurrence of radial artery spasm and occlusion after the procedure is higher in women. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefit of nitroglycerin in reducing radial artery spasm and occlusion in women undergoing transradial catheterization. Methods: This was a 2x2 factorial randomized, multicenter, prospective, double-blinded study. Participants were randomized to nitroglycerin 500mcg or placebo at two time points: after placement of the hemostatic introducer and before its removal. The evaluation of the radial artery spasm was clinical, using a pain scale The evaluation of the radial artery occlusion was performed with Doppler, in the first 12 hours. Results: A total of 2,040 patients were included, of which 774 (37.5%) were female. Mean age was similar between sexes (62.2 years versus 61.5 years; p=0.27). The incidence of radial artery spasm was higher in women (21.2% versus 6.6%; p<0.01), as well as the incidence of radial artery occlusion (3.4% versus 1.8%; p=0.03). The use of nitroglycerin at the beginning of the procedure did not reduce the incidence of radial artery spasm in women when compared with placebo (19.7% versus 22.6%; p=0.34), nor did the rates of radial artery occlusion (4.3% versus 2.5%; p=0.17). The use of nitroglycerin at the end of the procedure did not reduce the incidence of artery occlusion in women (2.8% versus 3.9%; p=0.37). Conclusions: Radial artery spasm and occlusion are more frequent in women undergoing transradial catheterization when compared to men. The use of nitroglycerin does not have a beneficial effect in reducing these incidences.
Critical comprehension of various translations of surah al-Baqarah 8-13: a Theological and Linguistic analysis
Authors: Sedankina T. E.
Published: April 2023

In this article we have made an attempt to critically comprehend ten translations of the 8-13 ayahs of surah “al-Baqara” into Russian, considered in the order of their publication, which allowed us to trace their certain semantic transformation. So, modern translations more emphasize the internal irrational processes, separating the Arabic verbs sensation (شعر) and belief (علِم), in contrast to their predecessors, translating these verbs as synonyms, thus emphasizing the importance of rational processes, relying on tafsirs, which have also undergone some changes of meaning over time. On the basis of the critical comprehension of various translations of the above ayats of the Quran, as well as four tafsirs, a theological and linguistic analysis of this text fragment was carried out, as a result of which the assumption of two kinds of hypocrites was put forward: those who realize their hypocrisy and those who do not realize (or do not want to realize), taking the likeness of faith for the true faith. This circumstance made it possible to understand the reasons for the different approaches to the translation of the Arabic verbs شعر and علِم. Thus, in the earlier translations of the Qur'an these verbs are translated as synonyms, since according to the early tafsirs, on which the authors of these translations apparently relied, this fragment of the Holy Text refers to a group of people knowingly hypocriting about their faith in order to gain personal benefits. Their hypocrisy is conscious, i.e. rationally meaningful, due to which the translators used the verb of the group of feeling شعر to denote the meaning of the verb of belief علِم. In later translations of the Quran, as well as in modern tafsirs, which we reviewed in this paper, no clear indication of a specific group of people (which was found in the comments of D. Boguslavsky) or that the hypocrisy of these people is conscious. In these works, the focus of the authors' attention shifts to the processes occurring in the heart (in the soul), which allows us to speak of a category of people who are hypocrites unconsciously, who are sure that they believe, that they are doing good, people who do not want to recognize their unbelief, who do not define it, who do not feel it because their hearts are sick. In this connection, it seems to us that the later translators emphasize the difference in meaning between the verb sensation (شعر) and the verb belief (علِم). This fact gives rise to a reflection on one's own position regarding belief, which on a rational level may be quite convincing, but on an irrational level may raise some doubts.

On the Participial Functioning of the l-form in the History of the Russian Language in the Light of Russian Dialectal Data and the Material of the Other Slavic Languages
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Ermolova Maria ,   Institute for Russian Language of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the hypothesis about the participial functioning of the l form in the history of the Russian language in the light of Russian dialectal data and the material of other Slavic languages. Many facts that confirm this hypothesis are found in both Russian dialects and Slavic languages. The first part of the paper discusses the functioning of participles in the dialect of the Opotchesky district of the Pskov region and provides the comparative analysis of the functions of the participle in the examined dialect and the l-form in the Old Russian chronicles. As the material shows, the analyzed forms have much in common, which testifies to the participial role that the l-form used to take. The second part of the paper answers some remarks made in a recent paper by M. Sheveleva by providing other facts from the history of the Russian language, Russian and other Slavic dialects, which are relevant to the correct understanding of the evolution of the l-form.

Published: April 2023

Birds play many roles, including predators, pollinators, scavengers, seed dispersers, pests, predators, nutrient cycling, ecosystem engineers, and many other services. However, the global decline in bird populations means that the ecosystem services provided by these birds are also declining. The services birds provide are ecologically and economically important but are not adequately appreciated due to insufficient information. Therefore, this review article aims to elucidate the role of birds in the agroecosystem and their benefits to humans in order to promote their conservation. Healthy bird populations and their habitats would help protect various ecological services that would ultimately improve human well-being.

Published: April 2023

Revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 are two interrelated concepts in today's technological developments. There are many challenges that will be faced in revolution 4.0 and society 5.0. This challenge can be in the form of a lot of automation and artificial intelligence that has caused many jobs to disappear and have been absorbed by automation and artificial intelligence. For this reason, it is necessary to prepare the younger generation so that they can face the 4.0 revolution and society 5.0. One way is to study robotics. Robots are not something that is foreign to hear, because in this era there are many jobs assisted by robots. I have collected several books and journals to serve as my reference in conveying the usefulness of robotic learning to deal with revolution 4.0 and society 5.0. Robotics is a field of technology concerned with the design, construction, operation and use of robots. The use of robotics is widespread and growing in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, automotive, agriculture, health, security and transportation. There are many positive things that can be obtained from studying robotics, which can increase creativity and innovation, improve technical skills, increase understanding of science and mathematics concepts which can later become a preparation for facing the 4.0 revolution and society 5.0. Robotic learning is very important to help face the 4.0 revolution and society 5.0. By developing technological capabilities in young people and integrating robotic technology with human interaction, we can achieve greater progress and create a better world.
Wanita Mungusap Kepalanya

Hadis dan al-Qur’an, merupakan sumber ajaran Islam yang disepakati ulama. Kesepakatan ini didasarkan atas adanya ayat al-Qur’an dan hadis yang mengokohkan kedudukan tersebut. Hanya saja, sebelum dipergunakan sebagai hujjah, hadis harus melewati ‘batu uji’ persyaratan keshahihan untuk mengetahui otentisitas (keaslian) penisbahannya kepada Nabi. Langkah ini dilakukan mengingat mayoritas periwayatan hadis terjadi secara ahad dan hanya sedikit yang bersifat mutawatir. Sebagai implikasi dari periwayatan ahad, maka tingkat kepastian penisbahan sebuah hadis kepada Rasulullah hanya bersifat zhan (dugaan atau relatif) dan tidak mencapai derajat qath’iy (yakin atau pasti). Disinilah urgensi penelitian yang dilakukan para ulama terhadap hadis, yang pada gilirannya telah menghasilkan rumusan grand theory keshahihan hadis. Teori ini kemudian disepakati sebagai parameter persyaratan untuk menguji keshahihan sebuah hadis. Terkait dengan kesepakatan ini, Yusuf al-Qaradhawi, sebagaimana dikutip oleh Aunur Rafiq, menegaskan bahwa pada dasarnya para ulama telah sepakat dengan rumusan hadis shahih di atas. Hanya saja mereka berbeda pendapat dalam mengaplikasikan persyaratan tersebut. Salah satu unsur yang dikritisi ulama ketika menguji keshahihan hadis adalah sanad atau mata rantai perawi yang menyampaikan teks hadis. Pengujian ini dilakukan mengingat hadis sebagai sumber ajaran agama, hanya diterima jika berasal dari periwayatan orang-orang terpercaya (dalam ilmu hadis disebut tsiqah yang merupakan gabungan dari sifat ádil dan dhabith) dan ada hubungan antara 2 masing-masing perawi dalam hal penyampaian hadis. Untuk menguji kedua aspek ini, para ulama mendasarkannya pada data sejarah yang memuat informasi kehidupan mereka, hasil karya para ulama kritikus hadis baik berupa kutub al-thabaqat dan kutub al-rijal. Data sejarah inilah yang kemudian dianalisis untuk membuktikan validitas (keabsahan) sanad tersebut.
Host language proficiency has a causal effect on immigrants’ income, savings and financial wealth
Authors: Zheng Yeqiu , Gu Yan , Backus Albert , van Soest Arthur
Published: April 2023

We study the effect of Dutch proficiency on immigrants’ labour market performance, savings and financial wealth in the Netherlands. Different from past research, we had participants (N=659) take a language proficiency test apart from self-reported assessments, and measured participants’ IQ, patience, saving intention, risk aversion, self-control, temporal focus, etc. to better control for individual characteristics. Immigrants’ labour market performance and financial wealth were initially surveyed in 2016, and then again in 2020-2021. We find that Dutch proficiency affects immigrants’ earnings (employment probabilities; income; hourly wages) in 2016 and predicts participants’ earnings in 2021 even after controlling for the baseline in 2016, individual characteristics and demographic information. Furthermore, the results for the first time reveal that language proficiency can also predict immigrants’ current and future savings and financial wealth. Importantly, using an instrumental variables approach we show that language proficiency has a causal effect. Our findings have theoretical and policy implications.

PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES OF E-LEARNING (A REVIEW DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC)
Authors: Ahmad Shmmon
Published: April 2023

In the past few years, e-learning is emerging as a global platform in the continuation of studies. E-learning has revolutionized the entire education system by providing flexibility and easy access to lectures anytime and anywhere, especially during covid-19 pandemic after which face-to-face learning was no longer possible. Although people were aware about e-learning and its usage but it got more prominent after COVID-19 pandemic. So, e-learning became a necessity for continuing education. This present study attempts to analyze the difficulties, benefits, and drawbacks of both educators and students by implementing these technologies as well as alternative solutions. This study discusses numerous prospects made possible by the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasizes the requirement for developing suitable methods to handle such an unanticipated crisis in the future. The problems faced by learners were a poor internet connection, a lack of electricity, a lack of interest, and a lack of desire. This study also suggests the government take the lead in assisting students who have limited access to the internet and technology, which are essential for participation in online classes, while also encouraging students to participate more actively in e-learning, particularly in context of the serious pandemic. To this purpose, various suggestions have been offered that could help academic institutions overcome these challenges and preserve academic quality during turbulent times.

Managing Cold-start in The Serverless Cloud with Temporal Convolutional Networks
Authors: Nguyen Tam ngoc
Published: April 2023

Serverless cloud is an innovative cloud service model that frees customers from most cloud management duties. It also offers the same advantages as other cloud models but at much lower costs. As a result, the serverless cloud has been increasingly employed in high-impact areas such as system security, banking, and health care. A big threat to the serverless cloud's performance is cold-start, which is when the time of provisioning the needed cloud resource to serve customers' requests incurs unacceptable costs to the service providers and/or the customers.This paper proposes a novel low-coupling, high-cohesion ensemble policy that addresses the cold-start problem at infrastructure- and function-levels of the serverless cloud stack, while the state of the art policies have a more narrowed focus. This ensemble policy anchors on the prediction of function instance arrivals, 10 to 15 minutes into the future. It is achievable by using the temporal convolutional network (TCN) deep-learning method. Bench-marking results on a real-world dataset from a large-scale serverless cloud provider show that TCN out-performs other popular machine learning algorithms for time series. Going beyond cold-start management, the proposed policy and publicly available codes can be adopted in solving other cloud problems such as optimizing the provisioning of virtual software-defined network assets.
Matrix-based Methods for Regionalized Life Cycle Assessment
Authors: Mutel Chris , Hellweg Stefanie
Published: April 2023

We develop a comprehensive computational framework for matrix-based regionalized life cycle assessment (LCA). When life cycle inventories and impact assessment methods have different spatial scales, spatial allocation is needed to map inventory locations to impact assessment spatial units. We review spatial allocation based on intersected areas and existing background emissions, and propose using additional spatial inventory data as a third type of allocation, which we call extension tables. Extension tables allow for detailed maps of individual processes, or even separate maps for specific process emissions — a significant improvement over the assumed uniform spatial density of process datasets. Extension tables can also be applied to existing process datasets. New LCA matrix formulae are developed for all three forms of spatial allocation, and these formulae allow for the expression of results on multiple spatial scales. As the final calculation result is a matrix, instead of a single value, the most damaging processes, emissions, and spatial units for every spatial scale used can be easily identified and combined. A case study of ecosystem damage due to freshwater consumption from irrigation of cotton in the United States is used to illustrate the different approaches. We implement our framework in an accessible open-source software package, including multiple additional examples.
A cost model for ocean iron fertilization as a means of carbon dioxide removal that compares ship- and aerial-based delivery, and estimates verification costs.
Authors: Emerson David , Michaud Alexander , Archer Stephen , Sofen Laura , Twining Benjamin
Published: April 2023

This paper presents a cost model for implementing a deployment scale effort for conducting ocean iron fertilization (OIF) for marine-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The model incorporates basic oceanographic parameters critical for estimating the effective export of newly fixed CO2 into biomass that is stimulated by Fe addition to an Fe-limited region of the Southern Ocean. Estimated costs can vary by nearly a 100-fold between best-case and worst-case scenarios with best-case values of $7/net ton C captured versus worst-case $1500/net ton C captured, without accounting for verification costs. Primary oceanographic factors that influence cost are the net primary productivity increases achieved via OIF, the amount of carbon exported into the deep ocean, and the amount of CO2 ventilated back to the atmosphere. The model compares ship-based versus aerial delivery of iron to the ocean, and estimates aerial delivery can be 30 – 40% more cost effective; however, the specific requirements for aerial delivery require additional research and development. The model also estimates costs associated with verification and environmental monitoring of OIF. These costs increase $/net ton C captured by 3 – 4-fold. Best, intermediate, and worst cases for aerial delivery and ship delivery are $23, $83, $1,735, and $25, $94, $4481, respectively, inclusive of verification costs. The primary goal of this model is to demonstrate the variability in cost of OIF as a CDR method, to better understand where additional research is needed to determine the major factors that may make OIF a tractable, nature-based CDR method.
Buyers pay for and sellers invest in a good reputation: More evidence from eBay
Authors: Przepiorka Wojtek
Published: April 2023

This article contributes to the research on trust and reputation formation in anonymous online markets. I first give a formal account of the reputation mechanism in anonymous online markets and derive testable hypotheses. Based on the analysis of a large set of process data (N ≈ 176,000), I corroborate a statistically and economically significant seller reputation effect on the probability of sale and the selling price both in auctions and fixed price offers. Moreover, my analysis shows that sellers making fixed price offers invest in a good reputation to a similar extent as buyers pay for it in auctions. Finally, I obtain repeated observations on a considerable subset of the buyer population by including highest non-winning bids in the analysis and show that buyers trade off sellers’ reputations and prices within the set of offered items they choose to bid on. My findings provide further evidence that reputation systems solve trust problems and reduce transaction costs in anonymous online markets by providing incentives for traders’ cooperative behavior.

La plupart des articles de ce numéro de Neophilologica sont consacrés aux verbes supports. C’était l’idée de Gaston Gross, président honoraire de la revue, de faire, dans le numéro en cours, état de la situation théorique, descriptive et applicative des verbes supports. Gaston Gross, éminent linguiste, est aussi une figure dominante des études sur les verbes supports. De nombreuses observations et concepts que nous considérons comme acquis dans ce domaine remontent à ses travaux fondamentaux.
Verbes supports : perspective diachronique
Authors: Blumenthal Peter
Published: April 2023

Dans cette contribution, nous tenterons d’appliquer le modèle classique des verbes supports à une sphère hautement abstraite du lexique ‒ les « noms coquilles » comme opinion, information ‒, négligée jusqu’ici par la recherche. Notre étude porte essentiellement sur les combinaisons entre ces noms et les verbes être et avoir, soumises à des variations diachroniques que les corpus de Frantext permettent de retracer depuis la langue médiévale. Les faits relevés suggèrent l’hypothèse que la combinatoire des mots d’aujourd’hui reflète souvent la catégorisation du monde correspondant à l’imaginaire d’hier.
The Semantic Scope of the Lexeme Fear in the Biblical Text
Authors: Matskiv Petro , Botvyn Tetiana
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the functioning of the lexeme fear [strakh] in the text of the Scriptures in the sphere of sacrum—profanum; the authors have described the method of research of emotional vocabulary in the linguistic aspect. The semantics of the mentioned word in a profane expression has been considered and based on the method of dictionary definition, etymological, contextual and conceptual analyses, and a complex approach. The authors have traced the understanding of fear in the sacral manifestation (fear of God), relying on the divine nature of this occurrence, which goes beyond the natural understanding of the studied phenomenon. The fear of God in the Bible should be considered as blahohovinnia [awe], which has three levels of manifestation: initial: it arises as gratitude to God for forgiven sins and leads a person to awe before the Lord and helps to salve his soul. A higher level is the feeling of blahohovinnia which resides in a person when they stand before God and is ready to obey Him in everything. The highest level of awe is the concept of absolute service to God when there is no fear but only love.The source language clearly distinguishes the concept of natural fear and supernatural fear, whose linguistic signs are separate lexemes, whereas in the Ukrainian language (as well as in Ukrainian translations of Scripture) the expression of these meanings occurs with the help of lexemes strakh [fear], bohobiynyi [God-fearing], pobozhnyi [pious], boyatysia [to fear], shanuvaty [to honour] that does not correlate with the primary source.
Las estaciones de lo Real. César Vallejo y la (no) poética del 27
Authors: Merino Antonio
Published: April 2023

El papel que juegan las vanguardias en César Vallejo supone un paso más en la gestación y reafirmación de una obra que asume, con todas sus contradicciones, la contextualización de un tiempo que, poco a poco, dará paso a una brutal dialéctica. Vallejo lo vivirá de primera mano junto a los intelectuales europeos y del llamado grupo del 27, los cuales condensaban una sensación de vacío y de pérdida de identidad que en Vallejo poco o nada tendrá que ver con ese universo tan personal que hace visible lo real para ofrecernos una nueva forma de entender la poesía del siglo XX. ¿O estamos hablando del XXI?
