Background

The integration of telehealth-supported programs in chronic disease management has become increasingly common. However, its effectiveness for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) remains unclear.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of telehealth-supported exercise or physical activity programs for individuals with KOA.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search encompassing Embase, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, PEDro, GreyNet, and medRxiv from inception to September 2023 was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials comparing telehealth-supported exercise or physical activity programs to a control condition for KOA. Data were extracted and qualitatively synthesized across eligible studies, and a meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effects. The study was reported according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020.

Results

In total, 23 studies met eligibility criteria, with 20 included in the meta-analysis. Results showed that telehealth-supported exercise or physical activity programs reduced pain (g=–0.39; 95% CI –0.67 to –0.11; P<.001), improved physical activity (g=0.13; 95% CI 0.03-0.23; P=.01), and enhanced physical function (g=–0.51; 95% CI –0.98 to –0.05; P=.03). Moreover, significant improvements in quality of life (g=0.25; 95% CI 0.14-0.36; P<.001), self-efficacy for pain (g=0.72; 95% CI 0.53-0.91; P<.001), and global improvement (odds ratio 2.69, 95% CI 1.41-5.15; P<.001) were observed. However, self-efficacy for physical function (g=0.14; 95% CI –0.26 to 0.53; P=.50) showed insignificant improvements. Subgroup analyses based on the World Health Organization classification of digital health (pain: χ22=6.5; P=.04 and physical function: χ22=6.4; P=.04), the type of teletechnology in the intervention group (pain: χ24=4.8; P=.31 and function: χ24=13.0; P=.01), and active or inactive controls (pain: χ21=5.3; P=.02 and physical function: χ21=3.4; P=.07) showed significant subgroup differences.

Conclusions

Telehealth-supported exercise or physical activity programs might reduce knee pain and improve physical activity, physical function, quality of life, self-efficacy, and global improvement in individuals with KOA. Future research should consider longer implementation durations and assess the feasibility of incorporating wearables and standardized components into large-scale interventions to evaluate the effects.

Glycemic variability and diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy
Authors: Serhiyenko A.A. , Tsaryk T.V. , Pavlovskiy Y.I. , Serhiyenko V.A.
Published: August 2024

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is closely associated with an approximately five-fold increase in the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Impaired autonomic function of the cardiovascular system in DM, which leads to the development of CAN, can be accompanied by coronary artery ischemia, heart rhythm disturbances, “silent” myocardial infarction, severe orthostatic hypotension, and sudden cardiac death syndrome. The article provides an analysis of literature data on the impact of glycemic variability (GV) on diabetic CAN development. This review analyzed the possible relationships between GV in people with diabetic CAN. In particular, the issues related to glycemic control and CAN, the link between GV and CAN in diabetes were analyzed. Unsatisfactory glycemic control and uncontrolled glycemic status are considered the main risk factors for chronic complications of DM, in particular CAN. An increase of GV is associated with a higher risk of chronic complications of DM, cardiovascular risk, all-cause mortality and morbidity. The clinical trial results demonstrated that time in range might be a promising metric for assessing glycemic control and prognosis of diabetic complications. This review is based on a search in PubMed and MEDLINE, Scopus, BIOSIS, EMBASE, Google Scholar and Springer Online Archives Collection. The following keywords were used: glycemic variability, cardiac autonomic neuropathy and diabetes mellitus. Research findings missed by the web search have been identified through a manual search of the bibliography of publications. CAN is one of the frequent long-term complications of DM, and reasonable control of GV may be necessary for its prevention. Determination of GV may have advantages for predicting future complications of DM in clinical trials and practice. The association of autonomic dysfunction and glucose levels, insulin resistance, and HbA1c variability suggest further research to reduce chronic complications development. Further investigation is needed to study the mechanisms of GV and evaluate them as therapeutic targets in the treatment of patients with T2DM.

Published: August 2024

Background. The problem of chronic purulent maxillary sinusitis (CPMS) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is relevant due to the increased risk of infections, complicated course of the disease, impact on quality of life, frequency of relapses, economic burden and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. Exploring new therapies, such as probiotics, may improve treatment efficacy and quality of life in patients with T1DM. The purpose of the work was to study the effectiveness of probiotic therapy in the comprehensive treatment of patients with CPMS and concomitant T1DM. Materials and methods. Patients with CPMS were under our supervision, some of them had concomitant decompensated T1DM. A number of patients received a standard course of therapy with a multiprobiotic, others — without a probiotic. In some cases, the exacerbation of CPMS was not accompanied by other pathologies. All patients underwent an otolaryngological examination and assessment of the intestinal microbiome before and after treatment. Integral hematological coefficients and spectrophotometric determinations of middle mass molecules were used. Results. In patients with CPMS and T1DM, dysbiosis of the large intestine and endogenous intoxication were observed, which is associated with a decrease in the general resistance of the body. Probiotic therapy in case of CPMS in patients with T1DM has a number of potential advantages, since this type of diabetes complicates the course of many diseases due to weakened immunity and increased susceptibility to infections. Chronic sinusitis in patients with T1DM can be particularly difficult, and conventional treatments do not always provide the desired results. The practical significance of the obtained results is that in order to achieve the maximum effect of probiotic therapy for a certain nosology, it is important to choose probiotics containing specific strains of bacteria that have proven their effectiveness in clinical studies. Conclusions. The results of treatment with a multiprobiotic showed significant effectiveness: a decrease in the level of endogenous intoxication, stimulation of factors of non-specific resistance and influence on conditionally pathogenic microflora.

Published: August 2024

Zinc is a heavy metal that is often found in liquid waste and causes water pollution. Eggshells can be used as an adsorbent to reduce heavy metals in water because they have a lot of pores, CaCO3, and mucopolysaccharide acid protein. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a comparison between calcined chicken and duck eggshells to adsorb Zn, by determining the optimum pH, contact time, optimum mass, and the characterization of adsorbents. The results of this study showed that calcined chicken eggshells adsorb Zn at an optimum pH of 6, with the required optimum contact of 75 min and a mass of 400 mg with adsorption effectiveness of 99.64%. Meanwhile, calcined duck eggshells have an optimum pH of 6, an optimum contact time of 60 min, and an optimum mass of 400 mg with adsorption effectiveness of 99.73%. Activated carbon from the market has an adsorption effectiveness of 99.53%. So, it can be concluded that calcined chicken and duck eggshells can be used as zinc metal adsorbent.

Published: August 2024

The synthesis of pure TiO2 and X% Au/TiO2 NPs was achieved via a sol-gel technique. The influence of Au concentration on structural, morphological, and optical features, as well as photocatalytic activity, was studied. XRD analysis revealed the presence of crystallized titanium consisting of anatase and rutile phases. The surface composition and electronic structure of TiO2 and X% Au/TiO2 catalysts were investigated using XPS analysis. Au/TiO2 consists of Ti 2p, O 1s, and Au 4f regions from XPS analysis. FESEM and TEM were utilized to analyze the morphology of the samples. FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of OH, CH2, and Ti–O–Ti groups in TiO2 samples, with an additional peak at 2108.89 cm−1 indicating the presence of gold in X% Au/TiO2 samples. The specific surface area increased from 33.36 m2/g for pure TiO2 to 51.62 m2/g after the doping of 2.5% Au NPs. The incorporation of Au on the TiO2 surface significantly influenced the optical properties in the 490 to 590 nm region, observed through the UV-vis absorption spectrum. The 2% Au/TiO2 NPs exhibited higher catalytic activity than pure TiO2, degrading methylene blue dye by 72.43% within 120 min.

Published: August 2024

The use of natural rice straw as a filler for composite materials has not been optimally utilized; only around 7–16% of the grain is used in the industry. Various developments have been carried out, including its use as a filler or reinforcement for wood polymer composite products, but it is not effective because of poor interfacial adhesion. An alternative to increase the effectiveness of straw fibers in wood composites is by using cold plasma (atmospheric) treatment. In this research, composites consisting of straw fiber and biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix were made with and without cold plasma injection treatment. PVA is used because of its hydrophilic nature and function as a matrix. This research aims to determine the effect of cold plasma injection on straw fiber/PVA composites. The method used consists of preparation of straw fiber and composites, flexural testing with time variations of 10, 20, and 30 sec, morphological analysis using SEM to determine surface roughness, and FTIR test. The results showed that treatment with and without plasma provided significant differences in roughness. Plasma causes roughness to increase, thereby increasing the adhesion of the interface to the matrix.

The Rechtelijk Pardon Concept in Reforming the Penal System to Realize Restorative Justice in Indonesia
Authors: Adytia Nur Amalina Putri , Wachdin Syarif Zakaria Said , Affan Muhammad , Said Said
Published: August 2024

Strategy to the type of punishment from retributive to restorative is one strategy used to foster intimacy in conflicted community lives. This strategy is still in place to encourage all members of society, including perpetrators and victims, to participate in case resolution so that crimes do not always result in jail time. As a formulation of reforming Indonesian criminal law, Rechtelijk Pardon, or judge forgiveness, gives judges the theoretical authority to avoid criminal penalties against those who commit crimes, depending on the circumstances surrounding the decision. This paper attempts to discuss this concept, which is currently unknown in Indonesian criminal law. Other countries' laws and the Rechtelijk Pardon concept are some of the current and upcoming legal sources that were examined through the use of a conceptual approach and normative legal research methodology. According to this study, the KUHP is starting to implement the concept of judges' forgiveness, or Rechtelijk Pardon. Legal problems may arise even if the idea is not included in the official language, particularly the KUHAP. Nevertheless, this is a good start in the direction of fortifying Indonesia's criminal justice system. In the future, punishment will be adaptable to achieve the objectives of the law, justice, and legal clarity within the bounds of the state and society
Abstrak
Strategi untuk mencapai keselarasan kehidupan bermasyarakat yang dilanda konflik terus diupayakan melalui reformasi pemidanaan itu sendiri, dari pemidanaan retributif menjadi pemidanaan restoratif, dan penegakannya terus memberikan dampak baik bagi korban maupun masyarakat  sebagai korban Pelaku dilibatkan dalam penyelesaian kasus dengan tujuan memastikan tidak semua kejahatan selalu berakhir dengan hukuman penjara. Artikel ini mencoba membahas  salah satu konsep yang masih belum dikenal dalam hukum pidana Indonesia sebagai rumusan reformasi hukum pidana Indonesia. Hal ini pada hakikatnya memberikan  hakim kekuasaan untuk menghindari sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku kejahatan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk menganalisis konsep ini adalah hukum normatif, yaitu suatu pendekatan konseptual yang memasukkan bahan-bahan hukum saat ini dan yang akan datang seperti rancangan undang-undang, konsep amnesti dari negara lain, serta peraturan perundang-undangan dari negara lain sebagai metode penelitian. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep hak pengampunan secara bertahap mulai diintegrasikan ke dalam hukum pidana, namun konsep ini tidak dijelaskan secara rinci dalam aspek formil yaitu dalam hukum acara pidana. Meskipun masih terdapat kesenjangan dan implikasi hukumnya akan menimbulkan perbedaan pendapat, hal ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat upaya awal untuk membawa sistem peradilan pidana Indonesia ke tingkat yang lebih tinggi. Ke depan, kebebasan dalam pidana harus diberikan demi tercapainya tujuan hukum, kepastian hukum, dan keadilan dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bermasyarakat.

Different types of translation of the same textwork are the basic fundaments of the synonym formation. The synonyms, one of the basic units of lexicology, express not only the nuances of the meaning but also play a crucial role in making the composition appropriate, meaningful, and eloquent. The synonyms can form in several ways, and here we tried to study the formation of the synonyms based on the several translations of “Subhashita” 1. Honourable word + ordinary word, 2. Written language word+ dialect word, 3. Synonym (mngon brjod ming) + ordinary word, 4. Archaic and historic words + new words, 5. Indigenous word + Indigenous word, 6. Indigenous word + foreign word, 7. foreign word + foreign word, 8. idioms + idioms within the framework of several different translations of the same work. During the research, while explaining some archaic and historic words, the origins of foreign words, the evolution of the meaning, and the usage with specific examples, we clarified from other sources, written monuments, and related dictionaries.

In the academic record of any scientific discipline, the terminology specific to that field and the theoretical concepts it encompasses are crucial in relevance and priority. This lexicon is continually enriched through scientific achievements, new knowledge, and the outcomes of research endeavors within the domain. Indeed, the necessity to assign new terms in one’s language and clarify associated concepts arises particularly as a result of each master’s and doctoral thesis work, as well as innovative research works. The purpose of this article is to consider the terminological issues within the scope of the thesis work “The Comparative Study of English-Mongolian Phonology”. Firstly, we address assigning terms to phenomena inherent to English phonology but absent within Mongolian phonological structures. Secondly, we aim to designate terminologies that exist with different names within Mongolian linguistic dictionaries. In the context of the aforementioned thesis work, we selected the terms related to English phonology and assessed their inclusion in Mongolian dictionaries and their treatment in research. Where these terms were found, we conducted a comparative analysis to understand their respective assignments in Mongolian within each dictionary. As a general practice, if the same terms had consistent definitions across most previous dictionaries and had already been entrenched in teaching and research, we opted to maintain continuity by adhering to those established terms. Additionally, terms established in “Phonetics and Phonology”, Volume VIII of “Mongolian Language Studies,” authored by Urtnasan et al. (2022), were adopted, given their foundation in empirical research. However, for the terms sampled from the selection, those that belong to English phonological phenomena not translated into Mongolian, as well as terms typically rendered into Mongolian in various ways in previous research, were subjected to theoretical definitions and explanations. Examples were provided to illustrate the application of these terms. Accordingly, phonological terms of the English language were categorized into four parts. It is important to note that it is not feasible to discuss every term in this article; therefore, only some of the key terms were selected, and one to two examples were provided in each section for clarification. By providing such detailed explanations and proposed translations, we aim to ensure clarity and accuracy in the assignment and understanding of scientific terms within the English-Mongolian phonological context.
WATERWHEEL DRAINAGE CLEANER (WDC): AN ECONOMIC TECHNOLOGY APPROACH INNOVATION FOR LAND-WATER RELATED MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION PREVENTION
Authors: Ersa Nanda Savira , Hassan Phadlin , Wesli Wesli , Usrina Nura , Andriani Dela
Published: August 2024

Microplastic pollution in water bodies is currently attracting attention worldwide due to its societal prevalence and long lifespan. It enters freshwater ecosystems through runoff, wastewater discharge, and atmospheric deposition in various colors, sizes (<5 mm), shapes, and polymer types. If microplastics are transported through the food chain, they can become harmful and have negative effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health. Due to the high correlation with human activities, urban areas are a significant source of microplastic emissions into water bodies. All these sources are related to the collection and discharge of drainage systems, which are important pathways for moving pollutants between land and water. The common way to remove solid waste, especially plastic waste in drainage, is using the traditional way by humans. However, this method takes a long time and is dangerous for humans due to exposure to an unhealthy work environment. Innovation is needed to reduce plastic waste pollution in urban drainage. The Waterwheel Drainage Cleaner (WDC) uses an air wheel mechanism that rotates using the flow potential of water. The WDC is equipped with filter arms that end on the conveyor. The conveyors are beneficial for moving waste from drainage to WDC tubes. The WDC framework can be applied to other multi-locations, such as rivers, reservoirs, and lakes. The WDC innovation is expected to reduce microplastic pollution in the aquatic environment, reduce drainage sedimentation, and increase community sanitation at a more cost and time-efficient rate.
Intercorporeidade, interafetividade e atmosferas: por uma ciência social de “climas”, “vibes” e “danças” interacionais
Authors: Peters Gabriel
Published: August 2024

Este artigo mobiliza o conceito de “atmosferas afetivas” para repensar criticamente a relação entre subjetividades individuais e situações intersubjetivas nas ciências sociais. Na esfera subjetiva, afetos são apresentados como estados experienciais cujo caráter geral e difuso dá a eles a capacidade de impregnar, com sua própria tonalidade, as transações do indivíduo com seu ambiente. Na esfera intersubjetiva, atmosferas afetivas são tomadas como capazes de atravessar e impregnar os estados de afeto dos indivíduos imersos em uma situação social. O trabalho aborda as relações entre afetos individuais e atmosferas afetivas situacionais como empiricamente variáveis, abarcando todo o continuum entre os extremos ideal-típicos da permeabilidade e da impermeabilidade absolutas do indivíduo frente a suas situações. Desenvolvendo os conceitos de “intercorporeidade” e “interafetividade” como constitutivos da ideia de “atmosfera afetiva”, o texto critica concepções demasiado intelectualistas de intersubjetividade nas ciências sociais. Finalmente, as dessintonias afetivas experimentadas por indivíduos em depressão frente às atmosferas de afetos dos seus ambientes são examinadas como um estudo de caso.
Psicologia e interseccionalidade como teoria social crítica: início de conversa
Authors: MATTAR Cristine Monteiro
Published: August 2024

What is the role of the psychological clinic in social change? In other words, what has been the contribution of clinical psychology in transforming living conditions marked by inequality, prejudice and violence? Has the clinic, alongside the use of psychotropic drugs and state violence, acted as a device for controlling and minimizing dissatisfactions, conflicts and traumas produced by the life conditions of the majority of the population? Have you preserved privileged places of speaking and listening while keeping the intolerable at bay? Has it mitigated intra-family, sexist, misogynistic, racist, ableist, sexist violence? Has it acted as an arm of life management that seeks to contain forces, voices, revolt instead of denunciation, validation and reparation? This article aims to present an outline of discussion on these issues, draw attention to them, but also encourage those who train and work in psychology to initiate some action. To this end, it intends to bring the reference to intersectionality as a critical social theory as proposed by Patricia Hill Collins in its aspect of intellectual resistance and social action, as another path of training and practice in psychology.

Published: August 2024

Most cheeses with water activity above 0.85 and a pH above 4.6 are classified as low-acid foods. They should be distributed and stored on a cold chain when packaged hermetically to prevent the growth of C. botulinum spores. This study aimed to profile cheese and characterize its risks. Data of cheeses with a registration number were obtained from The Indonesian Food and Drug Authority while data of cheeses without a registration number were obtained through a survey in supermarkets, e-commerce, and social media from November 2023 to February 2024. The number of marketed cheeses in Indonesia is 600, with 464 cheeses having a registration number and 146 cheeses not having a registration number. The representative 86 samples out of 600 commercial cheese products were analyzed for their water activity, pH, and moisture content. The analysis revealed that ripened cheese had the lowest water activity, moisture content, and pH among the cheeses. Research has shown that 93% of cheese samples are low-acid foods.

Published: August 2024

Gerek Türkiye'de gerekse dünyada yaşanan ekonomik krizler bankacılık sektörünü etkilemiş, yapısal değişimlere yol açmış ve teknolojinin gelişmesiyle yoğun bir rekabet ortamı oluşmuştur. Bu nedenle bankaların faaliyetlerini sürdürebilmeleri için müşteri deneyimini iyileştirerek farklılaşmaları gerekmektedir. Müşterilerin, bankaların ürün ve hizmetlerine ilişkin algıları, bankaların sürdürülebilirlik performansını etkilemektedir. Fijital müşteri deneyimi, bankaların üstün bir müşteri deneyimi oluşturması ve bu deneyimi sürdürebilmesi adına önemlidir. Çalışmada, bankacılık sektöründe faaliyet gösteren ve Türkiye’de fijital pazarlama uygulama örneklerden biri olan Odeabank’ın fijital müşteri deneyim boyutları, Fijital Müşteri Deneyimi Modeli (PH-CX) boyutları olan itici güçleri, bağlayıcılar ve temel dayanaklar bağlamında bankanın fizikselden dijitale ve dijitalden fiziksele geçiş süreci bağlamında, örnek olay olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden örnek vaka analizi seçilmiş ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formundan yararlanılarak markanın dijitalleşme biriminde görev alan temsilci ile derinlemesine mülakat gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçta fijital müşteri deneyiminin firmaların müşterilerle etkileşimlerini güçlendirmesine, rekabet avantajı elde etmesine ve uzun vadeli müşteri sadakati oluşturmasına olanak verdiği görülmüştür. Bankacılık sektöründe fijital müşteri deneyimi sunmanın müşteri memnuniyetini artırmak, rekabet avantajı sağlamak, operasyonel verimliliği artırmak ve daha güçlü bir müşteri tabanı oluşturmak gibi çeşitli alanları kapsayan avantajlarının bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Authors: Tezer Özlem , Ceylan Özcan
Published: August 2024

Bedensel zekâ, son yirmi yıldır çoklu zekâ kuramının literatürde tartışılmasıyla beraber gündeme gelmiştir ve spor branşlarında başarı, motor becerilerde hâkimiyet, dans etmek ya da piyano çalmak gibi bedensel koordinasyonun vurgulandığı alanlarla ilişkilendirilmektedir. Bedensel zekânın propriosepsiyon, kinestezi ve motor hafıza olarak ele alınabilen üç önemli boyutu vardır. Sportif atıcılık; fiziksel beceri, teknik bilgi ve zihinsel odaklanma gerektiren bir spor dalıdır. Sportif atıcılığın bir dalı olan pratik tabanca atıcılığında, sporcu belirli bir etabı güvenlik kuralları çerçevesinde en yüksek puan alarak tamamlamayı hedefler. Bu spor dalında sporcunun hızı ve isabeti büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada bir etap üzerinde bedensel zekânın çeşitli boyutlarının nasıl ön plana çıktığı incelenmektedir. Ayrıca geleneksel pratik atıcılık antrenmanlarında sporcuların atıcılık hareketlerini sürekli tekrara dayanan bir yöntem benimsenmektedir. Ceylan Metodu’nda ise ayna karşısında göz göze antrenman yöntemi ile kişinin doğru hareketleri motor hafızasına yerleştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sporcuların bedensel zekâlarının sportif atıcılık antrenmanlarında ve müsabakalarda dikkate alınmasının faydaları açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.
A canonical software process family based on the Unified Process
Authors: Ruiz Pablo , Agredo Vanessa , Camacho Cecili , Hurtado Julio
Published: August 2024

The Unified Process (UP) is a processes framework widely known and used by the software industry and academic community. UP was developed under the conception of a universal application, but even a single process is not appropriate to address all development projects since optimal process depends on the particularities of each project or organization. Frequently, many process components need to be adapted to the organization or project needs, a complex task because the experience and knowledge required. Perform adaptation in an inappropriate way is prone to error due to the difficulties for taking tailoring decisions. The paper goal is proposing a canonical software processes family based on the Unified Process to support software process tailoring. Our methodology was based on the meta-process CASPER to build a software process family and we use the Case Study method as a strategy for validating the canonical process family empirically. As a result, we show a canonical software processes family, which will serve as a platform for determining a process family based on Unified process in a small software organization. This canonical family has the advantage that uses a tailoring mechanism following a transformation strategy that encapsulates tailoring decisions in order to systematize this activity. In this work, we show the initial results in the applicability of a canonical software process family as base in the building the software process families based on UP in the small companies context, and also we conclude that the UP is a process framework with spread spectrum, which limited its formulation like a general software process family, due to that a process family requires determining carefully the application domain known as software process family scope

Rates of moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms remained stable before and during the pandemic, at 9.6–10.7%. During the pandemic, youth who screened positive for depression were more likely to be female and on public insurance, to have a higher A1C, and to have a history of diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia. They were less likely to identify as non-Hispanic White and more likely to identify as Hispanic.
FUNCTIONS OF IDIOMS IN POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Published: August 2024

The present paper highlights the role of idioms in Boris Johnson’s speeches on the beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2022. The total sample of phraseological turns identified during the analysis of the speeches of the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Boris Johnson, dedicated to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, includes 30 phraseological units. The main pragmatic function of the public speech is persuasion directed at influencing the listener or reader and shaping his views. Emotional information prevails in public speeches and relies on a wide range of language means reflecting it. Phraseological units belong to these means and their usage has its peculiarities. Since phraseological unit is one of the modes of reflecting thoughts, it is a clue to understanding speaker’s values, ideas, intentions and beliefs. Johnson resorts to core usage of phraseological units, including biblical expressions, as well as violation of an idiom presented by the replacements, extension of the base form (by means of evaluative insertions), inversion of the base form and phraseological allusions. As the analysis of the data showed Boris Johnson’s texts are dominated by neologisms, metaphorical comparisons, personifications, metaphors, epithets, hyperboles which are well-documented tropes in political discourse.
PARATEXTS ON THE BOOK COVER OF ANDREY KURKOV’S DIARY OF AN INVASION: ORDINARY OR EXTRAORDINARY?
Authors: Kovalchuk Iryna
Published: August 2024

The primary question of the present paper is how cultural and political context impact the ways that the cultural value of books is constructed through the publisher’s paratexts. The present paper examines the textual periphery that surrounds and contextualizes the text and mediates the relations between the text, the author, the publisher and potential readers. The paper examines paratextual elements on the book cover of Diary of an Invasion by Andrey Kurkov, the peculiarities of the cover structure and layout of the English-language editions, their functions in communicating the constituent elements of Ukrainian identity to an English- speaking reader. The detailed description of the structural elements of the cover of the book about Russian invasion of Ukraine, written in a time of war and published for English-language readers adds novelty to the research. Moreover, the aim of the paper is to prove that the textual periphery expresses explicitly and implicitly the publisher’s promoting strategy of establishing emotional connection with readers and building credibility to the author and his narrative, that effectively contribute to the reader’s initial interaction with the text. The present paper analyses the structure of the front cover, the back cover and the spine and describes the following paratextual elements: the name of the author, the title, blurbs, logo of the publisher, illustrative material, and a photo.
