How Financial Distress, Audit Committee, and CGI Shape Earnings Management through Stock Liquidity
Authors: Mardianto Mardianto , Novita Novita
Published: November 2024

Purpose – The aim of this study is to examine how financial distress, audit committees, and the Corporate Governance Index (CGI) impact accrual-based earnings management, with stock liquidity serving as a moderating variable. The goal of this research is to explore ways to reduce earnings management practices by analyzing how these factors influence managerial behavior. Design/methodology/approach – Secondary data were obtained from the annual financial reports of LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Financial ratios were used to measure financial distress, while audit committees and CGI served as indicators of corporate governance. Stock liquidity was evaluated for its moderating effect. The analysis method employed in this research is a moderation approach using multiple linear regression. Findings – This study found that financial distress did not have a significant effect on earnings management, both before and during the pandemic. The frequency of audit committee meetings had a positive impact before the pandemic, but its effect diminished afterward. The Corporate Governance Index (CGI) and stock liquidity also did not show any significant impact. Overall, the model used is valid and able to explain the relationship between the independent variables and earnings management. Research limitations/implications – While the study offers a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing earnings management, it is limited by the use of secondary data and its focus on LQ45 companies, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.

Published: November 2024

Bu çalışma, ağır hizmet araçlarında kullanılan fren disklerinin mikroyapısının, çatlak dayanımına olan etkisini detaylı bir şekilde incelemeyi ve bu dayanımı iyileştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. İlk aşamada, atalet dinamometresi testinde beklenenden daha erken çatlak oluşumu gösteren bir fren diski numunesi incelenmiştir. Mikroyapısal analiz sonucunda, malzeme içindeki homojen olmayan yapı ve azot boşlukları gibi çeşitli hata modları tespit edilmiştir. Bu hata modlarının fren diskinin çatlak dayanımını olumsuz yönde etkilediği görülmüştür.
Hata modlarını gidermek ve malzemenin mikroyapısal bütünlüğünü artırmak amacıyla bir dizi iyileştirici önlem uygulanmıştır. Bunlar arasında, döküm işlemi sırasında besleyici giriş sayısının arttırılması, yolluk tasarımının iyileştirilmesi ve zirkonlu aşılama uygulamaları bulunmaktadır. Besleyici girişlerinin arttırılması ve yolluk tasarımının iyileştirilmesi, malzeme akışını iyileştirerek daha homojen bir yapının elde edilmesini sağlamış, zirkonlu aşılama uygulaması ise mikroyapısal kusurların azaltılmasına yardımcı olmuştur.
Bu iyileştirici aksiyonlar sonrasında ikinci bir fren diski numunesi üretilmiştir. Yeni numunenin, atalet dinamometresi testlerinde, çatlak dayanımının belirgin bir şekilde arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Yapılan mikroyapısal analizler, uygulanan önlemlerin malzeme içerisindeki homojenliği artırdığını ve azot boşluklarını büyük ölçüde giderdiğini göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, ikinci numunenin mikroyapısının iyileştiği ve çatlak dayanımının arttığı doğrulanmıştır.
Bu çalışma, fren disklerinin mikroyapısal özelliklerinin mekanik performans üzerindeki kritik etkisini vurgulamakta ve mikroyapısal iyileştirmelerin çatlak dayanımını nasıl artırabileceğini göstermektedir. Çalışmada, fren disklerinin güvenilirliğini artırmak için mikroyapısal kontrollerin ve üretim süreci iyileştirmelerinin önemi ortaya koyulmuştur.

Authors: Aydin Akin , Saygın Ali
Published: November 2024

This article presents the theoretical analysis of limited angle torque motors (LATM), numerical modeling for 4-pole types and the effect of various dimensions on motor performance. First, the magnetic equivalent circuit model and equations of the LATM are defined and the motor torque expression for 4 poles is established. Then AHP, a decision-making tool, is used as a reference to determine the best LATM design parameters. The cogging torque, constant torque region and peak torque value of the motor at the lower and upper values of the obtained design parameters are analyzed in the finite element analysis environment. The transient analysis of the best design considering certain limitations is performed and the operating performance is analyzed in no-load condition. With the proposed model, the torque of the 4-pole limited angle torque motor in the constant torque region is obtained at 95% of the peak torque. This value is verified by finite element analysis.

Authors: Taş Göksu
Published: November 2024

In this study, the discharge energy of the lithium-ion battery was estimated by using the FOX- Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network (Bi-RNN) method for the Dynamic Stress Test (DST) driving cycle method and different temperatures. For lithium-based batteries, discharge energy estimation is critical for long-term use, while problems such as overheating are major problems. For this reason, in this study, the discharge energy of lithium-ion batteries under different temperature conditions was estimated using bidirectional-based deep learning methods. In addition, the hyperparameter values of the BiRNN method were determined with FOX optimization, and the FOX-BiRNN method was proposed. The discharge energy estimations of FOX-BiRNN, BiRNN, Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU), and Bidirectional Long-short term (Bi-LSTM) methods were compared. The obtained estimation results were compared using the most commonly used battery parameter estimation metrics in the literature for performance comparison. The estimation success of the proposed method was presented using many comparison metrics and graphics. The FOX-BiRNN method was the most successful method for discharge energy estimation by obtaining values of %99.4186 at 0 0C according to the R2 metric, %99.6080 at 25 0C according to the R2 metric, and %99.4148 at 45 0C according to the R2 metric.

Investigation of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in Hybrid Composites Produced with Fe3O4/nanographene Additives to Al7020 Alloy by Powder Metallurgy Method via Mechanical Alloying
Authors: Yılmaz Taha Alper
Published: November 2024

The objective of this work is to enhance the microstructural and mechanical characteristics of Aluminium (Al) 7020 alloys, which are receiving growing application in the aerospace sector. The mechanical properties of Al 7XXX series alloys are at high levels compared to other Al alloys. However, the need for Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) is increasing day by day to increase the mechanical properties to the desired levels. Powder metallurgy is one of the advanced production techniques for MCCs. It is known that microstructural and mechanical properties are improved by mechanically alloying (MA) and homogeneous mixing of powders in the structure. Investigated were the effects of various mechanical alloying durations (1, 2, 4, and 8 hours) on the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of composites formed by reinforcing nanographene at 0.25% with 10% Fe3O4 fixed in Al7020 alloy. Density, XRD and SEM analyses were performed on all composite samples for characterization purposes. After that, the mechanical characteristics of the hybrid composite samples were determined by accurate hardness and tensile testing methods. The sample who received mechanical alloying for 8 hours achieved the highest tensile strength of 335 MPa.
Muito Além do Arco-Íris: A representação do bem e do mal em "O Mágico de Oz" e a sua desconstrução a partir de "Wicked"
Authors:   , Vaisman Diana
Published: November 2024

O “Mágico de Oz”, de L. Frank Baum, é um clássico da literatura infanto-juvenil que encanta gerações até os dias de hoje. Após a sua primeira publicação, em 1900, a obra foi adaptada para os palcos e para o cinema, o que fez com que ela se transformasse em uma das histórias mais conhecidas e parodiadas de todos os tempos, sendo alvo de inúmeras interpretações. Um de seus desdobramentos de maior sucesso é “Wicked” (1995), livro de Gregory Maguire, que apresenta a tradicional história, assim como os acontecimentos anteriores a ela, a partir de um ângulo completamente diferente. Ao narrar os fatos sob o ponto de vista de Elphaba, a Bruxa Má do Oeste, o livro, assim como o musical da Broadway inspirado por ele, faz com que o leitor perceba que imagens construídas nem sempre correspondem à realidade. Este trabalho tem como objetivos comparar a representação do bem e do mal em “O Mágico de Oz” e em “Wicked”, analisar as diferenças entre essas representações e refletir sobre como a mudança de ponto de vista trazida por “Wicked” contribui para a desconstrução das representações do bem e do mal em “O Mágico de Oz”. Tendo em vista o enorme papel que a informação desempenha na construção de opiniões, é muito importante que os conceitos de bem e mal, assim como a forma com que são representados na mídia, com suas causas e consequências, sejam debatidos em nossa sociedade. Se o discurso tem o poder de modificar a realidade de uma forma negativa, discursos como o de “Wicked”, uma ficção que celebra as diferenças e adverte para a existência de múltiplos pontos de vista, podem, por outro lado, levar a reflexões e a transformações positivas na realidade.

Dinámicas seleccionadas de carbono en sistemas silvopastoriles con Nothofagus obliqua (mirb.) oerst. en Ranchillo Alto, precordillera andina chilena.
Authors:   , Parra Cabrera Sebastián
Published: November 2024

Existe limitada información en cuanto a las dinámicas de carbono en sistemas silvopastoriles ubicados en sectores precordilleranos de clima templado. Esto es preocupante, puesto que las causas y consecuencias del cambio climático han degradado el ambiente de manera irreversible, provocando situaciones que frecuentemente no logran ser identificadas a tiempo, por esto, se vuelve imperante identificar y validar nuevas técnicas de manejo sustentable del suelo, las cuales integren perspectivas sustentables, donde confluya medioambiente, economía y comunidad. En respuesta a esta necesidad, el presente estudio investigó dinámicas de carbono seleccionados en un sistema silvopastoril que involucra especies forrajeras, bosque nativo (Roble) y ganado, con el fin de modelar como ocurren los ingresos y las pérdidas de carbono dentro del sistema, en el mediano y largo plazo. El estudió se realizó en el predio “Ranchillo Alto”, Comuna de Yungay, Chile, entre los años 2020 y 2023. En este sector precordillerano de clima templado, abunda un bosque altamente degradado de Nothofagus obliqua (Roble). El presente estudio se realizó en 4 condiciones, los que para fines metodológicos, se considerarán como “tratamientos”: Semi-cerrado (SC), Semi-abierto (SA), Abierto (A), y un control (Ctrl), que corresponde a bosque no intervenido. Esta clasificación se realizó en función del porcentaje de penetración lumínica que logra ingresar al suelo, definiéndose Semi-Cerrado (SC, 45-55%), Semi-Abierto (SA, 65-75%) y Abierto (A, 85-95%). en cada uno de ellos se analizaron 4 dinámicas de carbono (C) de forma comparativa, utilizando la metodologíía de descomposición de hojarasca y trampas de litera, se identificó que, luego de 17 meses, SC presentó una descomposición más lenta de la hojarasca, conservando un 9% más de hojarasca que SA, y un 11,4% más que A. De igual forma, en SC se registró la mayor tasa de respiración de suelo, lo que se asocia a una mayor actividad de la microbiota del suelo, la cual se beneficia de la gran cantidad de litera foliar que es depositada en SC, y mayores temperaturas y humedad de este tratamiento. Si bien las causas de estas diferencias se deben principalmente a los microclimas presentes en este ensayo (SC, SA y A), la temperatura media anual no registra diferencias significativas, pese a esto, se identifica que en A se alcanzan los máximos de temperatura en verano. Finalmente, la medición de lixiviados de C no otorgó diferencias significativas entre tratamientos, lo que podría explicarse por la reciente intervención (del manejo agroforestal), que estos sectores han recibido. Para estudios futuros, se sugiere fortalecer la forma en que se definen los puntos de muestreo dentro de un microclima, puesto que incluso dentro de el mismo tratamiento, existío una amplia dispersión de los datos, lo que podría explicarse por la presencia de “microclimas dentro de los microclima”.

Language Profile of a Vietnamese Child with Prader-Willi Syndrome
Authors: Nguyen Yen , Phạm Ben , Phạm Hang , Phạm Van , Dinh Thu , Nguyen Phuong , Nguyen Thanh
Published: November 2024

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a low incidence genetic syndrome, exhibits complex difficulties characterized by infantile hypotonia and feeding, motor, cognition, behavioral phenotype, and hypoplasia. Children with PWS also may demonstrate delay in language development. However, this has not been well-investigated in research. To date, there is no research reporting the speech and language abilities of Vietnamese speaking population with PWS. This case report is the first attempt to describe the speech and language profile of a Vietnamese-speaking child with PWS. A 5-year-old boy with PWS participated in the study by completing speech and language tasks available in the Vietnamese language, including oral motor, speech accuracy, intelligibility, speech participation, receptive and expressive vocabulary, sentence repetition, rapid naming, phonological awareness skills, nonword repetition and telling and retelling stories. The performances of the majority of the tasks were digitally audio-recorded, then transcribed for speech and language analysis. The tasks’ scores were calculated then compared to the corresponding results available for typically developing same-aged peers and those with speech and language disorders. The child’s scores demonstrated poor oral motor skills, severe impairment of speech accuracy, and low speech intelligibility and participation. Language skills were low in vocabulary, grammar and narrative skills. Despite some facial abnormalities, the child demonstrated normal vocal characteristics. This case report supports the fact that Vietnamese individuals with PWS may experience a delay in language development compared to typically developing peers, even though the individuals receive early intervention services; therefore, continually speech and language support the individuals in mainstream school is essential.

Published: November 2024

The study aims to analyse and evaluate language's role in shaping social advertising's effectiveness from a linguistic perspective. Methods. The survey method, the method of linguistic analysis and classification of linguistic strategies and techniques, and the Weissman-Ricks Emotional State Inventory (WRESI) were used in the study. The statistical analysis was carried out using the Pearson criterion. The validity of the methods was tested using Cronbach's coefficient. Results. 52% of advertising materials contain emotional words. This result indicates a strong reaction from the audience, which is confirmed by the high Pearson's coefficient (0.83). Words describing the problem were also prevalent in 47% of the advertising materials. They had a high Pearson's coefficient (0.75), which underscores their importance in clearly addressing the problem and strengthening the effectiveness of advertising. The highlighted language means helped to increase the emotional involvement of respondents. Thus, it contributed to the effectiveness of the advertising message. Conclusions. Language plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of social advertising. It conveys information and creates emotional connections with the audience, helping to form and maintain social beliefs and cause changes. This approach increases the effectiveness of social advertising and its impact on society. Prospects. Future research perspectives may include analysing the effect of different language strategies on various audience groups, considering their age categories, social status, cultural characteristics, etc.

Authors: Shan Nan , Liu Yang , Xu Bing , Wang Ping , Zhang Mengjia
Published: November 2024

Based on the millimeter-wave cloud radar detection data from the western region of Liaoning Province, China (hereinafter referred to as western Liaoning) in 2020, the vertical structure characteristics of clouds were studied. The analysis results show that: (1) The occurrence frequency of clouds is 25.50%, while single-layer clouds occurrence frequency is 19.45% accounted for the largest proportion. The diurnal variation of occurrence rates differs across seasons. High clouds have the highest occurrence frequency, accounting for 40.03% of all clouds. (2) The average rainfall intensity of cloud precipitation throughout the year is 3.1 mm/h, and the precipitation mainly originates from single-layer and double-layer clouds. The rainfall intensity weakens as the number of cloud layers increases, and the precipitation of multi-layer clouds is mainly produced by low-layer clouds. (3) The average thickness of the cloud interlayer for precipitating clouds is 1.4 km, with 82.1% of cloud interlayer thicknesses being less than 2 km. The average thickness of the cloud interlayer for non-precipitating clouds is 1.84 km, with 70.8% of cloud interlayer thicknesses being less than 2 km. The cloud interlayer thickness generally decreases with the increase in the number of cloud layers.
Agile and organizational culture: Fostering agile values and mindset
Authors: Adebayo Omowunmi Temitope
Published: November 2024

The integration of agile methodologies into organizational culture has become crucial for promoting innovation, adaptability, and continuous improvement in today’s fast-paced business landscape. As global markets become more competitive and customer expectations evolve rapidly, companies must find ways to stay agile, responsive, and resilient. Agile methodologies provide a robust framework that allows teams to deliver value incrementally, react quickly to changes, and continuously refine their processes. However, achieving lasting success with agile methods requires more than just implementing a set of tools or practices; it necessitates a significant cultural transformation throughout the organization. At its essence, agile is founded on values like collaboration, trust, transparency, and a dedication to ongoing improvement. These values mark a shift away from the traditional hierarchical, process-driven structures found in many organizations, demanding a fundamental rethinking of how work is organized, managed, and assessed. Developing an agile mindset means weaving these values into the very fabric of the organization’s culture, encouraging teams to collaborate, take ownership of their processes, and adapt flexibly to new information or challenges. Thus, the success of agile adoption largely depends on an organization’s ability to align its cultural values with the principles of agility. This article examines the complex relationship between agile methodologies and organizational culture, emphasizing how nurturing agile values and mindsets can significantly improve an organization’s performance, employee engagement, and customer satisfaction. It also addresses the challenges many companies encounter when trying to integrate agile principles into their existing cultural frameworks, especially in traditional, risk-averse settings. Additionally, the article looks at how resistance to change, misalignment in leadership, and established hierarchies can obstruct this processThe success of agile implementation largely depends on the organization's ability to align its existing cultural values with the principles of agility. Without this alignment, even the most well-designed agile practices will struggle to take root or thrive. Cultural resistance, often from leadership, established hierarchies, or employees who are risk-averse, can present significant challenges. This article delves deeply into the symbiotic relationship between agile methodologies and organizational culture, examining how fostering an agile mindset can profoundly enhance not only an organization’s performance but also employee engagement, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

From forced displacement to forced immobility: the Israeli mobility regime to the post-disengagement Gaza Strip
Authors: Santos Isabela Agostinelli dos , Nasser Reginaldo Mattar
Published: November 2024

The article investigates the effects of the mobility regime imposed by Israel after the disengagement from the Gaza Strip in 2005, when Israel withdrew all its Jewish settlements from the region. Although the Israeli State claims to have no further responsibility for Gaza under international occupation law, its remote-control policies reveal the continuation of colonial domination by other means. In this scenario, we argue that Gaza emerges both as a space of expulsion, where Palestinians must move and remain, and as a deathscape, since the effects of the policy of (im)mobility of people generate fatal effects. In a historical perspective, the article argues that Gaza experienced two contrasting phenomena: a moment of forced displacement, when 200,000 Palestinians took refuge in the region during the creation of the State of Israel, in 1948, and a moment of forced immobility, caused by restrictions on the movement of people and products, occurring since 2005. Although contrasting, both phenomena can be understood through the Zionist settler colonialism framework, which, since its foundation, has sought to deal with the "Arab" problem: the demographic threat to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.

Uninodular thrombosis of external hemorrhoidal nodes (UTHN) was identified in 81.4% of all forms of thrombosis.

Objective. To develop treatment algorithms for patients with UTHN.

Material and methods. An analysis of data from 362 outpatient patients with UTHN showed that 81.5% sought help from a proctologist more than 3 days after the onset of thrombosis. In 81.3% of cases, anal pain was absent or mild/moderate in nature. First-degree UTHN (UTHN-1) was found in 91.7% of patients, while second-degree UTHN (UTHN-2) was present in 8.3%. In 305 (84.3%) patients, UTHN was visualized on unchanged anoderm. Constipation was noted in 14.4% of patients. The characteristics of inflammation in patients with UTHN-2 included: 1 — necrosis size up to 5 mm; 2 — slight discharge of pus or blood.

Results. Conservative treatment is the primary method for managing patients with UTHN. The use of a conservative treatment algorithm allowed for the recovery of 340 (93.9%) patients within a timeframe of 7 to 19 days. Twenty-two (6.1%) patients with UTHN-1 and UTHN-2 underwent surgery after inflammation subsided. In 45 (9.7%) patients, despite refusing surgery, recovery also occurred. Limitations on performing surgeries in outpatient settings include: 1 — the success rate of conservative treatment; 2 — lack of facilities for performing surgeries in outpatient clinics; 3 — frequent refusals by patients for surgery. The period of disability during the postoperative period averaged 12 ± 1 days.

Conclusion. Treatment algorithms for patients with UTHN allow for a balanced use of conservative or surgical treatment methods.

Purpose of the study: to analyze the clinical manifestations of autonomic dysfunction syndrome in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 of varying severity.

Material and methods. An outpatient examination was conducted on 45 patients (26 women, 19 men) who had recovered from COVID-19 within 3 to 6 months prior to the examination. The average age of the patients was 58 years [26; 73]. Inclusion criteria were a confirmed PCR test for COVID-19 from 3 to 6 months after the onset of the disease. Exclusion criteria included severe cerebrovascular or cardiovascular pathology that complicated necessary measurements and severe somatic conditions of the patients. All patients underwent electrocardiographic examination (ECG), an orthostatic test, calculation of the Kerdo autonomic index (KAI), and assessment for signs of autonomic disturbances using A.M. Vein’s questionnaire (1998).

Results and conclusion. During the orthostatic test, a statistically significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) was observed, more pronounced in patients who had experienced severe (p < 0.05) and moderate (p < 0.01) forms of the new coronavirus infection. Orthostatic hypotension was noted in 76 ± 0.18% of the examined patients. A statistically significant greater increase in heart rate during the orthostatic test was observed in patients who had suffered from severe and moderate forms of the new coronavirus infection (p < 0.05). A statistically significant lower value of the KAI was found in patients who had experienced moderate and severe COVID-19 compared to those with mild forms of the infection (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Signs of autonomic dysfunction were identified in 82 ± 0.15% of the examined patients, with a direct correlation of moderate strength established between the severity of autonomic disorders and the degree of severity of COVID-19 (p < 0.01). The consequences of the new coronavirus infection in the form of autonomic dysfunction persist for an extended period — up to 6 months or longer. The core clinical picture of autonomic disorders in these patients consists of symptoms of peripheral autonomic insufficiency.
The lexico-semantic embodiment of the commander image in the texts of historical, campaign, and military-domestic songs of the Kuban Line Cossacks
Authors: Burdun Svetlana Vladimirovna , Yepatko Tatiana Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2024

The study aims to identify the features of the lexico-semantic realization of the commander image in the texts of historical, campaign, and military-domestic songs of the Kuban Line Cossacks. The article analyzes the texts of the songs as a mega-text embodying the Cossack representations of their military leader. The study identifies the key semantic components of the image: the commander is always at the center of “his own” space, fulfilling the role of a father for ordinary Cossacks, he leads the warriors, is inseparable from his detachment, faces danger, and is a victor and hero. The commander is an active speech personality: he inspires before battle, gives commands, calms during battle, educates, bequeaths love for his homeland, and, mortally wounded, asks to be carried from the battlefield. The study highlights the commander’s characteristics such as speed, strength, daring, and renown. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the image of the Cossack commander in this aspect is examined for the first time using the example of regional Kuban folklore. The study reveals that the image of the military leader embodies the Cossacks’ notions of the ideal warrior, respected and loved by his subordinates.

The functioning of connotonyms from works of children’s literature in the urban onymic space
Authors: Razumov Roman Viktorovich
Published: November 2024

Connotonyms from works of children’s literature occupy a special place in the speech of a modern native speaker of the Russian language. Connotonyms are regularly used by citizens in the onymic space of the settlement to create official and unofficial names. The purpose of the study is to describe the features of the functioning of connotonyms from works of children’s literature in the urban onymic space, the principles of their use for creating different types of urban onyms. The scientific novelty of the work consists in identifying the composition of the connotonyms most in demand in the urban onymic space from works of children’s literature, describing the existing patterns of their use. The results showed that names based on connotonyms from works of children’s literature are regularly created in the urban onymic space, while they can be used both in their original and transformed form. The studied connotonyms can be used both in the creation of official and unofficial names (urbanonyms and ergonyms). It was found that the tradition of creating names based on connotonyms from works of children’s literature originated in the Soviet period of the country’s history. Initially, they were used in names aimed at a children’s audience, and in the post-Soviet era they began to be used in the names of institutions whose activities are addressed to adults, which leads to the emergence of new meanings that were not originally embedded in the original name.
The category of emptiness in Soviet texts by Dmitry Prigov
Authors: Zhilene Ekaterina Sergeevna
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the study is to identify the most important and fundamentally significant, representative feature of D. Prigov’s conceptual poetry, due to its orientation towards a sociologized, Soviet perspective. The article examines not only the formal and substantive features of Prigov’s poetry in the context of the laws of conceptualist practices, but also examines the creative principle of the poet, constantly applied by him – the creation of intentionally empty (emptied) poetry. Special attention is paid to the relationship between the author and the hero – D. Prigov and Dmitry Alexandrovich Prigov, the personality image with its own worldview, artistic talent and poetic style. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the fact that the author for the first time offers an examination of Prigov’s poetic heritage not from the point of view of the uniqueness and artistic originality of his verse, the peculiarities of poetics, but from the standpoint of the conceptual and constitutive principles of text creation. Thus, one of the leading principles turns out to be emptiness – semantic and meaningful, committed and ideological. As a result of the study, it was found that emptiness in Prigov’s poetry is the only significant quantity, it is fundamental and constant. It is precisely this emptiness that is a circumstance of the specificity of the plan of expression and the plan of the content of Prigov’s poetry. The concept “emptiness”, which is the basis of Prigov’s Sovvitalism, turns out to be a conceptual way of profanation of the Soviet world and the Soviet myth.
The English-language linguocultural scenario “Money”: Structural and semantic features of nominative units
Authors: Belyakova Ol’ga Vladimirovna , Krivchenko Irina Borisovna
Published: November 2024

The aim of the research is to identify the structural and semantic features of nominative units that serve as means of linguistic expression of the English-language linguocultural scenario “Money”, which is achieved by shedding light on the notion of “linguocultural scenario” and defining the basic concepts and sub-concepts that are elements of the structure and implemented in the linguistic part of the scenario. The research has a scientific novelty, which consists in considering the studied scenario of the thematic area “Money”, which had not previously become the object of research, as a cognitive scheme of the speech situation from the standpoint of a comprehensive cognitive-cultural approach to linguistic material. This allowed us to identify the main structural and semantic characteristics of linguistic units. The research findings amount to the following: the predominance of structurally separable nominative units over structurally inseparable lexical units was revealed. The former are represented by two-word nominal constructions with a core noun or a verbal noun; syntactically contracted prepositive groups performing the function of definition; two-component verbal phrases with phrasal verbs. Among the latter, the most common are affixal nouns and adjectives describing types of money, actors, financial transactions and basic concepts of the monetary sphere, “highly specialized” verbs and verbs of the business sphere of the subject area “Money”.
