A Hermeneutic Analysis of Selected Yorùbá Pentecostal Songs
Authors: Ajibade George Olusola
Published: November 2023

The Christianity that reached Africa, especially the sub-Saharan region, had undergone several stages of inculturation and re-organization. The changing social, political, and cultural situation of the people had a tremendous impact on the Christian religion. As Christianity moved through the intellectual and political worlds, especially among the Yorùbá people of southwestern Nigeria, it acquired new categories of thought. Yorùbá philosophical language began to be applied in expressing some of the mysteries of the Christian faith. This was particularly evident in the articulation of the theological language expressed through various Christian songs. Different types of songs collected during the worship among the selected African Indigenous Churches and those produced by some artists were analyzed through the lens of textual exegesis. This paper considered the impact of the emerging trend of diffusion of African philosophy, worldviews, and Christian theology in the selected Christian songs. This in turn revealed the dynamism or the emerging trends in African Christianity that authenticate the pluricultural nature of contemporary world Christianity. The work demonstrated that Christianity is an essential part of the identity of the Yorùbá people, which is best demonstrated in the folkloric expressions, especially songs.
Devising Yorùbá Terminology for Phonology Terms (from letter P to letter R)
Authors: Bankale Oyetayo A , Taiwo Oye , Olawale Rukayat
Published: November 2023

This essay, which is part three (3) of the report on the formulation of Yorùbá phonology terms from their English counterparts, discusses English phonology terms for letters P, Q, and R and the Yorùbá counterparts, totaling ninety-one (91) terms numbered from 187 to 278.[1] Preceding letters A to O have been discussed in part one and part two of this report, numbers 1 to 104, letters A to G, and numbers 105 to 186, letters H to O, respectively. In this report, we compiled these terms in English, alphabetically arranged, from letter P to letter R, and developed their Yorùbá equivalents. In doing this, we extracted these phonology terms from three phonology textbooks and two specialized/technical dictionaries on linguistics and phonology. We employed the Information Processing Model (IPM) framework. Some of the terms developed are palatalization, ìso̩dàfàjàpè, paragoge ìfìró-bò̩parí, parasitic harmony àǹkóò àfòmó̩, parse ìpínsífó̩rán-ìhun, partial overlapping ìwo̩nú-ara e̩lé̩be̩, phonaestheme fóníìmù-àyo̩túnyo̩, phonemic overlapping ìpòórá fóníìmù, phonological phrase boundary ààlà àpólà fonó̩ló̩jì, phonological prime fó̩nrán-akérépin fonó̩ló̩jì, quantity-sensitive feet è̩wo̩n-atéńté aníwò̩n-agbe̩gé̩, recessive vowel fáwè̩lì àdínkù, redundancy rule òfin aléélè̩

Ecopoetics in Yorùbá Riddles
Authors: Adegbodu Olumide
Published: November 2023

In contemporary literary scholarship, assumes that certain subject matters are bourgeoning in literary texts produced recently. For instance, the motif of environment/ecosystem seen to be novel in literary representations. However, Africans, long before their contact with coloniality, have engaged their literary texts in interrogating various aspects of their cultural milieu, including the ecosystem. One of the ecocentric poetic genres of Yorùbá literature is àlọ́ àpamọ̀ (riddles). This study, therefore, investigates the representations of interactions among different stakeholders of the ecosystem in selected àlọ́ àpamọ̀. The study reveals that Yorùbá riddles are fraught with ecocritical consciousness. Images of the environment in the discussed riddles emphasize man’s inseparable relationship with the environment or ecosystem. Similarly, the anthropocentric nature of man depicts that man and nature cannot be separated as they are mutually interactive.
Speaking of Animals: A Conceptual analysis of Animal Metaphors in Yoruba
Authors: Adisa Oluwadamilare
Published: November 2023

Figurative expressions, particularly metaphors, play a pivotal role in shaping our interpretation and comprehension of human discourse within a cultural system. In Yoruba culture, the metaphoric use of animal forms an indispensable component of daily life, manifesting in diverse forms, including proverbs, music, oral literature etc. To this end, previous studies have primarily concentrated on the stylistic use of animal-related metaphors in Yoruba language. This paper diverges by using a conceptual/cognitive approach to explore how specific animal terms and their associated concepts are metaphorically employed to represent various facets of human experiences, behaviors, and attributes. Data collection involved a one-week purposive observation and audio-recording of random discussions among Yoruba speakers in Ibadan, consultation with Yoruba language teachers and elderly family members. Audio-recordings were subsequently transcribed to extract all animal-related metaphoric expressions. These metaphors were then analyzed, organized and categorized according to Lakoff and Johnson’s Idealized Cultural or Cognitive Metaphor (ICM) framework. The study demonstrates the existence of conceptual connections between animal attributes and human traits in Yoruba culture as conveyed in twenty metaphorical expressions analyzed. The study also reveals that through the conceptual process of “mapping” across domains, animals in the source domain are used to depict various human experiences, behaviors, both semantically positive and derogatory to humans in the target domain through metaphorical means. This paper concludes that both domestic and non-domestic animals are employed to communicate intricate concepts and ideas via succinct and vivid imagery based on the sociocultural values, beliefs, and general worldview of the Yoruba people.
Towards Transformation of the Nigerian Youths: The Place of Yoruba Popular Music
Authors: Olusola Kayode
Published: November 2023

Since the year 2012, West Africans, especially the Nigerian government and citizens have been witnessing an increase in civil crisis because of different crimes committed in African society and the involvement of the youths in these negative activities. Since music is said to have an emotional and psychological influence on human minds, this paper, therefore, examines the text content of and relevance of popular music in Nigerian society and highlights the role played by popular musicians as agents for positive transformation of the youths among the Southwestern part of Nigeria. Relying on Femi Adedeji’s Transformation musicological theory, this work explicates the song themes and other lyrical contents of selected popular music in the Yoruba language fashioned towards positive transformative direction, for the purpose of socio-cultural analysis. The research findings show that some Nigerian popular musicians have for over three decades, been making use of the message in their music to sustain the positive transformation of lives and behavior of people of Nigeria, especially the youths. The song lyrics by the old juju, fuji, apala, sakara, and Pop musicians are found to be more effective because of the Yoruba cultural concepts and moral values inherent in them. This essay concludes that music has an affective mechanism that positively influences the lives, personalities, and world-views of Nigerian youths in general if properly channeled towards a positive dimension. This paper concludes that the Nigerian government should use appropriate agencies like the National Film and Records Censor Board and Nigerian Copyright Council to prevent music that contains lyrics that can encourage violence and criminal acts circulated into Nigerian markets.
The Brass-Bells Drum: An African Literary Writer’s imaging of Neo-colonial woes in Nigeria
Authors: Adejumo Arinpe G. , Ilori Emmanuel Akinyinka
Published: November 2023

Literature reflects and refracts socio-political issues. Novels, a genre of literature, images of socio-political realities with a view to proffering solutions to some of the threats to human and social development. This essay examines the depiction of postcolonial disillusion and neo-colonial woes in Nigeria as represented in Akińwùmí Ìṣọ̀lá’s Saworoide translated, as The Brass-Bells Drum by Pamela Olubunmi J. Smith. The paper hinged on the Marxist Sociology of Literature and Postcolonial approaches, it critically evaluates inept political leadership and corrupt practices. The analysis reveals that corrupt leadership and followership undermine the development of Nigeria. Some of the major challenges undermining the development of Nigeria are the insincerity and insensitivity of political leaders to the plight of the masses, selection/electoral corruption, mismanagement of public funds, abuse of power, neglect of the masses, political assassination, bribery, and corruption. It is established in the novel that, the greatest obstacles to Nigeria’s development are inept leadership and corruption. The paper concludes that the uniqueness of Iṣọla’s discourse of postcolonial woes manifests in the adroit blend of motifs and narrative techniques of political instability, betrayal of trust, acute leadership crisis, and corruption. The novelist advocates harnessing some tangible and intangible cultural heritage as well as communal revolt to checkmate the continuing spread of this menace of (mis)governance in Nigeria.
Lílo ‘BBC News Yorùbá’ fún Ẹ̀kọ́ Yorùbá ní Amẹ́ríkà
Authors: Alabi Victor Temitope
Published: November 2023

I examined various means by which interviews made on ‘BBC News Yorùbá’ could be employed in Yorùbá language pedagogy in America. I then explored different topics that are generally treated in these interviews on ‘BBC News Yorùbá’ like politics, religion, sports, and business, and I classified these interviews into two: interviews made with an individual and interviews made with several people. Furthermore, I proposed a framework, which I named Yorùbá Dialectal Model (YDM). The framework submits that creators of authentic language resources in Yorùbá such as interviews (as I argued in this paper) and films (see Alabi, 2017) should consider the strict or the near strict use of the Yorùbá language in the communicative skills of writing and speaking. In a situation where new words that do not exist in Standard Yorùbá have to be borrowed; such words should be borrowed from dialects of Yorùbá rather than other languages. Finally, I analyzed an interview with Chief Ọbásanjọ́ to show the import of the framework and of interviews as authentic pedagogical resources in the Yorùbá language classroom across America.
The Impact of Corporate Governance Attributes on Financial Distress among the Listed Firms in Pharmaceuticals Industry of Bangladesh
Authors: Begum Mst. Maksuda , Sarker Niluthpaul , Nahar Shamsun
Published: November 2023

This paper investigates the relationship between corporate governance and the likelihood of financial distress. To evaluate the impact of corporate governance on financial distress, a multiple regression model and longitudinal panel data are used. Corporate governance is determined by the board of directors, audit committee, and ownership structure, whereas the Altman Z-score is used to indicate financial distress. The findings imply that financial distress is influenced by corporate governance variables (board independence, auditor independence, auditor opinion, sponsor directors ownership, and foreign shareholders), and firm-level variables (sales growth, performance, liquidity, firm size)). From an academic standpoint, this paper adds to our understanding of the association between corporate governance practices and the risk of financial distress in emerging markets like Bangladesh. The findings may encourage Bangladeshi listed companies to follow and implement good corporate governance practices, increasing investor, regulator, and stakeholder confidence.

Authors: Putri Dina Christin Ayuning
Published: November 2023

In Yogyakarta, the number of patients suffering from depression reached 5.5%. To enhance the therapeutic benefit, psychiatrists frequently prescribe a combination of antidepressants to their patients. To identify the risk for incompatibility, the prescription profile of antidepressant medicines that are compounded together must be examined. The purpose of this study is to examine the prescribing patterns of compounded medications designated as antidepressants in a Yogyakarta pharmacy. The prescription is the research subject in this descriptive exploratory study. Prescriptions that satisfied the inclusion criteria were gathered, and the frequency of prescriptions was calculated. Two medications with the greatest prescribing frequency were then examined for potential interactions and incompatibility. Folic acid is the most commonly prescribed medicine when combined with another. It was formerly used with sertraline HCl, maprotiline HCl, trifluoperazine HCl, and diazepam. The psychiatrist was used to mixing three to four active drugs administered in capsules. The drug combination has various interactions that must be properly monitored. These findings can be used by the doctor to choose the best medicine combination.

Published: November 2023

The tornado disaster is a type of disaster with the highest intensity of events in Indonesia in 2019-2021. Disaster mitigation planning can be used to reduce disaster risk. The health centre, which is the cutting edge of health care in its area of operation, plays an important role in disaster preparedness, although Puskesmas Buduran has sufficient disaster mitigation facilities, there is a staff shortage. Data is collected through documentation, interviews, and questionnaires, as this research uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Validity and reliability tests are used to test questionnaire data. The results of the research show that Puskesmas Buduran has not achieved its best results. This is demonstrated by the fact that some of the mitigating factors of the Puskesmas disaster have not gone well. This includes knowledge, attitude, hatred training, and Puskesmas officer's disaster experience. In addition, Puskesmas factors that reduce the vulnerability include geomedical maps, evacuation routes, and early warning systems that need to be repaired. Actions that can be taken in effective structural and non-structural disaster mitigation planning. In the category Enough, SDM Puskesmas Buduran has the knowledge, perspective, and experience of disaster management.  In accordance with the provisions in force in this Regional Regulation, the parties will carry out periodic surveillance. The establishment of field health teams and cross-sectoral coordination have been good enough in terms of resource inventory

Authors: Bolat Halil
Published: November 2023

The purpose of the research is to examine the learning outcomes included in Science and Art Centers’ summer school support and development course of thinking education workshop program according to Bloom’s taxonomy. The research was designed as a qualitative study, utilizing the document analysis technique and benefiting from descriptive analysis. The reliability coefficient for the research was 0.87. The results suggested that 91 of the primary, secondary, and high school learning outcomes in the workshop program were related to the cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy, and five of them were related to the affective domain. An examination of cognitive learning outcomes indicated that learning outcomes at the primary, secondary, and high school levels were at the lower levels of the taxonomy, namely remembering, understanding, and applying. However, there was little emphasis on learning outcomes for higher-order thinking skills, which include analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The same situation was observed in examinations carried out at the primary, secondary, and high school levels. Regarding the affective domain, one of the five learning outcomes was at the receiving level, while the other four were at the responding level.

Authors: Nthurima Fredrick , Mutua Abraham , Stephen Titus Waithaka
Published: November 2023

Phishing attack occurs when a phishing email which is a legitimate-looking email, designed to lure the recipient into believing that it is a genuine email to open and click malicious links embedded into the email. This leads to user reveal sensitive information such as credit card number, usernames or passwords to the attacker thereby gaining entry into the compromised account. Online surveys have put phishing attack as the leading attack for web content mostly targeting financial institutions. According to a survey conducted by Ponemon Institute LLC 2017, the loss due to phishing attack is about $1.5 billion per year. This is a global threat to information security and it’s on the rise due to IoT (Internet of Things) and thus requires a better phishing detection mechanism to mitigate these loses and reputation injury. This research paper explores and reports the use of a combination of machine learning algorithms; Random Forest and AdaBoost and use of more phishing email features in improving the accuracy of phishing detection and prevention. This project will explore the existing phishing methods, investigate the effect of combining two machine learning algorithms to detect and prevent phishing attacks, design and develop a supervised classifier which can detect phishing and prevent phishing emails and test the model with existing data. A dataset consisting of both benign and phishing emails will be used to conduct a supervised learning by the model. Expected accuracy is 99.9%, False Negative (FN) and False Positive (FP) rates of 0.1% and below.

Authors: Aarzoo Aarzoo , Kumari Santha
Published: November 2023

Mood disorders are recurrent or episodic with significant cognitive deficits and incomplete recovery. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been a well-established evidence-based intervention, and Cognitive retraining (CR) is emerging to reduce cognitive deficits by application of techniques that improve attention, memory, and/or executive functions that enhance psychosocial functioning. Method: The present study compared CBT and CR delivered as independent interventions as well as combined with medicines employing pre-post intervention and experimental research design. Outcome measures were Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Metacognitive Questionnaire (MCQ30), World Health Organization Quality of Life- Brief (WHOQOLBref), and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). Results: CBT group statistically had highest QOL supported by environment and global functioning. The change in mean scores on outcome measures was greater for CR groups. Conclusion: CR with or without medicine is a feasible treatment option when CBT promulgation is inhibited by patient, therapist, or environmental variables.
Ensuring organisational and legal conditions for financing the social sector of Ukraine
Authors: Bortnyk S. M. , Sievidova I. O.
Published: November 2023

The legal aspects of regulation of budgetary financing of social services have been analysed, and the main directions of improving the efficiency of the system of budgetary financing of social protection and social security of the population of Ukraine in modern conditions have been identified. Based on the analysis of scientific views, theoretical approaches to building a budget system in the context of social protection have been considered. The shortcomings of legal regulation of mechanisms for financing the provision of social protection services have been identified, and the main factors for improving the efficiency of budget financing and the inclusiveness of social protection have been described.

The main task of the State in the context of social protection of the population is to fully and timely fill the relevant budgets and to finance social protection measures within the limits established by the budget. It has been noted that today the State system of budgetary funds management for financing social benefits remains one of the main components of the general and comprehensive social protection system of Ukraine. However, the practice of organising the budget process in Ukraine in the current socio-political conditions is characterised by an imbalance in the state and regional programmes of economic and social development. The main factors of disruptions in the functioning of the system of financing the social protection sector in Ukraine have been considered. There is a gradual reduction in the share of expenditures on social protection and social security from 30 % to 15 % of the consolidated budget in 2016–2022, while social spending is actually growing in monetary terms. It has been determined that although the Budget Code of Ukraine regulates the financial independence of local budgets by assigning to them the relevant sources of budget revenues, the actual level of revenue formation does not allow them to properly fulfil their own powers in the field of social protection of the population.

It has been noted that in the context of decentralisation, amendments to the budget legislation should take into account the provision of real rights to pursue an independent socio-economic policy at the local level and at the same time ensure the effective exercise of their own and delegated powers. Provision of local and regional authorities with revenues sufficient to finance their powers should be done through decentralisation of budgetary funds, which will help to achieve a balance of regional and local budgets.
Problems of legal guarantees of workers’ rights in the field of working time, rest time and wages in the conditions of martial law
Authors: Nazarenko I. V. , Melnyk K. Yu.
Published: November 2023

The problems of legal guarantees of the rights of workers in the field of working time, rest time and wages in the conditions of martial law have been studied. The definition of the terms “legal guarantees of employee rights” and “employee” has been improved. Legal guarantees of employee rights are legal norms that ensure the realization and protection of the rights of an individual working on the basis of an employment contract, as well as the activities of authorized bodies and organizations for the implementation of these norms. An employee is a natural person who works on the basis of an employment contract.

It has been proved that the main features of legal guarantees in labor law should be considered the types of legal responsibility, methods and subjects of protection of workers’ rights specific only to labor law. This is, firstly, the application of disciplinary and material responsibility to persons who have violated the rights of employees, secondly, the announcement and conduct of a strike by employees to protect their rights in the resolution of a collective labor dispute, thirdly, the protection of the rights of employees by specific defenders – trade unions. It has been noted that the Law of Ukraine “On the Organization of Labor Relations in the Conditions of Martial Law” significantly reduced the legal guarantees of the rights of employees in the field of working time, rest time, and wages provided for by the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine and other acts of national legislation. This state of affairs has been underway for more than a year and continues with no prospects of cancellation in the near future, while most enterprises, institutions and organisations in Ukraine operate as usual, and we consider it necessary to leave the relevant restrictions on the legal guarantees established by the Law of Ukraine “On Peculiarities of Regulation of Labour Relations under Martial Law” only for those who work in critical infrastructure facilities (in the defence sector, public utilities, etc.).
Unity and differentiation of legal regulation for the implementation of the right to work in certain categories of employees
Authors: Podorozhnii Ye. Yu.
Published: November 2023

It has been proven that labour relations are a legal relationship between an employer and an employee, which is established on a voluntary basis with regard to the use by the former (i.e., the employer) of the latter’s (i.e., the employee’s) ability to work and is expressed in mutual rights and obligations. It has been noted that in order for legal regulation to be fair, effective and appropriate, it should be based on a number of principles which determine the key priorities and vectors of legal regulation. To a large extent, the principles ensure the unity and integrity of the legal system and the legal regulation mechanism.

An emphasis is placed on the fact that certain categories of employees are employees for whom the current legislation, due to their physiological and social (including professional) properties (characteristics, signs, traits), provides for additional guarantees and/or benefits, some other advantages in working conditions compared to ordinary employees, and in some cases, increased requirements for their responsibility.

It has been generalised that the application of the principle of unity and differentiation in the legal regulation of the implementation of the right to work in certain categories of employees is a prerequisite for unimpeded access and inclusion of persons with certain specific physiological and/or social traits considered to be legally significant into the common legal space within which relations on the use of hired labour arise, develop, change and terminate.

It has been noted that the unity of legal regulation ensures a non-discriminatory approach to providing different individuals with the opportunity to realise their abilities and capacity to work through the conclusion of an employment contract. In turn, the differentiation of legal regulation allows taking into account the specific features of these employees and providing them with fair working conditions and adequate protection in accordance with their capabilities and needs due to these features.
Proper selection of personnel for the Security Service of Ukraine as a prerequisite for the career growth of its employees
Authors: Yuzyshen M. S.
Published: November 2023

The current state of national legislation regarding the establishment of a list of requirements for candidates for service in bodies and units of the Security Service of Ukraine has been considered. The achievements of scholars on the essence of personnel selection, career, and labour legal personality of employees have been studied. The peculiarities of the legal personality of employees of the Security Service of Ukraine have been determined.

The requirements established by national legislation for the candidates to serve in the Security Service of Ukraine and the proper professional selection of the best of them are an important factor in staffing this law enforcement agency with professional employees who will be able to perform their duties efficiently and achieve the results planned by the management. The high-quality performance of the tasks faced by the bodies of the Security Service of Ukraine by its employees directly depends on properly organized labor stimulation, in particular, the possibility of career growth. The latter should be supported by an effective career management system, which is based on ensuring fair career development of employees by assessing their business qualities, performance and authority among colleagues.

The proposals and recommendations for improving national legislation in terms of establishing a list of requirements for candidates to serve in the bodies and units of the Security Service of Ukraine and career development of its employees have been provided. There is a need to amend Article 19 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Security Service of Ukraine” with the following provisions: first, on the need for candidates to be proficient in Ukrainian at the level determined in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On ensuring the functioning of Ukrainian as the State language”, and second, on the need to test candidates for service using a polygraph, which will allow for more objective information about the candidate’s past, environment, positive and negative personal qualities. The Law of Ukraine “On the Security Service of Ukraine” should include a separate article entitled “Career in the Security Service of Ukraine”, which should define the term “career in the Security Service of Ukraine” and predict the specifics of a career in the Security Service of Ukraine.
Financial and legal principles of social protection of military personnel
Authors: Hetmanets O. P.
Published: November 2023

It has been proven that the legality and sufficiency of the state’s financial activities for the social protection of military personnel in modern conditions in Ukraine depends on financial and legal regulation in the field of social policy. It has been noted that financial and legal protection, as an activity of the state for financial provision of social protection of military personnel, is based on the budget law, expenditures, which require coordination of the budgetary powers of the legislator and the Government on the formation and distribution of financial resources at the planning stage, as well as development and approval of the main financial law.

The dependence of the financial state of the social protection of servicemen on the state financing of the directions and types of social policy of the state in the sphere of defense which requires legal regulation of the sources of financing of social payments of servicemen has been argued, as well as the distribution of the amounts of allocated funds and clarification of the powers of the involved subjects, in particular the legislator, the Government and managers budget funds. It has been determined that in order to improve the financial and legal foundations of social protection of servicemen, it is advisable to ensure two conditions: firstly, the introduction of a budget classification code of types of special social payments to servicemen in the expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine, and secondly, compliance with the targeting of benefits, guarantees, compensations and other social payments, which are defined by the current legislation for military personnel and their family members.

It has been substantiated that the justice and legality of meeting the interests of military personnel, as well as of all citizens related to social protection, are based on financial and legal principles.
The system of entities providing territorial defence of Ukraine and the role of local self-government bodies within it
Authors: Romanskyi I. V.
Published: November 2023

It has been found that the system of entities providing territorial defence of Ukraine consists of: 1) The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is responsible for establishing the legislative framework for the territorial defence of Ukraine and for exercising parliamentary control over the compliance with the requirements of the legislation in this area by the committees established by it; 2) The President of Ukraine and the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine are responsible for the global management and control over the functioning of the entire defence and security sector of Ukraine, including territorial defence, and ensure the deployment of territorial defence if necessary; 3) The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, ministries and other central executive authorities whose activities are aimed at building the organisational and administrative architecture of territorial defence, determining the vector of development and implementation of the state policy in the field of defence and territorial defence of Ukraine; 4) target subjects of territorial defence implementation including regional state administrations, military authorities and law enforcement agencies. They are responsible for the proper implementation of territorial defence measures, the realisation of its functions, tasks and objectives, as well as the ongoing maintenance of their effectiveness; 5) local self-government bodies.

The conducted analysis allows us to say that local self-government bodies have an independent and special place in the system of entities providing territorial defence of Ukraine. The reason for this is that they ensure the formation of an environment for the effective and efficient implementation of territorial defence tasks on the ground within the framework of a certain legal status and territory of jurisdiction. Consequently, the efficiency of local self-government directly affects the effectiveness of territorial defence, its staffing, etc.
Theoretical and methodological foundations for forensic commodity examination of garment products
Authors: Kulyk Ya. O. , Sobakar Ye. M.
Published: November 2023

The examination of garment products is a popular type of forensic commodity expertise in proceedings related to the protection of the interests of Ukrainian producers, business entities in the sale and rental of garment products, as well as the investigation of offences related to export and import operations.

Based on the study of the legislative framework for conducting forensic commodity research of garment products, as well as regulatory documents on the methodology for assessing the quality of garments for various purposes, the author states that there is still no unified list of control objects to be studied in the course of garment examination.

The article is devoted to the problems of methodology for forensic commodity examination of garments. It has been established that the lack of unified terminology causes differences in the interpretation of methodological guidelines for conducting examinations and differences in the interpretation of research results. The fundamental differences between the purpose, composition of materials and market conditions of a particular type of garment can significantly affect the choice of research methods. In this regard, the article considers the nomenclature of objects of forensic commodity examination of garments, which makes it possible to streamline the expert’s actions in accordance with the specifics of the object of study. The nomenclature identifies the following groups of indicators for the examination of garments: compliance of the product and control label details with the requirements of regulatory documentation, correspondence of appearance, adequacy of the type of materials used for sewing the garment, safety of materials, quality of fit of the garment, quality of manufacture of the garment, correspondence of linear measurements to nominal values, and market value of identical (similar) goods.

Authors: Sigalingging Riswanti , Tambunan Armansyah Halomoan , Agustina Sri Endah , Sigalingging Candra
Published: November 2023

Biodiesel production from renewable resources needs a certain amount of energy Input. The effectiveness of biodiesel production depends on the energy ratio, i.e. the ratio of energy contained in the biodiesel to the energy input during production, including energy content in the feedstock. The objective of the study is aimed to evaluate the energy ratio in biodiesel production. The input and output energy were analyzed for each process (catalyst and analysist). Materials required in biodiesel production was evaluated in term of their energy content. The equipment used to obtain data on the non-catalytic biodiesel production process was a prototype bubble column reactor designed by the Department of Global Agricultural Sciences at The University of Tokyo, Japan and data on the catalytic biodiesel production process was obtained from the Center for Design and Technology System Engineering, BPPT Serpong,by the design of the equipment owned by the institution. The results showed that the energy ratio and the energy needed to produce per kilogram of biodiesel using the non-catalytic production method with a modified process were 1.00 and 39.63 MJ/kg while using the catalytic method were 0.98 and 41.05 MJ/kg, respectively. The non-catalytic production method with a modified process is better than the catalytic method in energy ratio. The energy needed to produce per kilogram of biodiesel due to the heat exchanger is critical for the performance improvement of the modified non-catalytic process.
Procédure arbitrale – Constitution du tribunal arbitral et instruction du processus
Authors: Gonzalez Ewerton Zeydir , Dendasck Carla Viana , Silva Adonias Osias
Published: November 2023

L’arbitrage est l’un des moyens de résoudre les conflits prévus par la loi, écartant du pouvoir judiciaire le privilège de décider des différends entre des personnes, physiques ou morales, confiant la fonction de trancher la question soumise à un tiers, librement choisi par les parties. Pour ce faire, il doit y avoir la mise en place de la procédure arbitrale, qui dépend de l’accord de volonté entre les parties, toutes deux capables, le sujet à soumettre à ce type de règlement étant un droit disponible. Les parties peuvent, par le biais de la convention d’arbitrage – à être conclue au moyen d’une clause ou d’un compromis d’arbitrage – définir les procédures qui régiront la procédure arbitrale et guideront l’action des arbitres. Si les parties ne définissent pas cette procédure, elles peuvent adhérer aux règles de l’institution arbitrale choisie où se déroulera l’arbitrage, ou laisser aux arbitres le soin de définir les procédures. Il est important de souligner qu’en dépit de toute la liberté accordée aux parties, elles ne peuvent, selon une disposition expresse de la loi, supprimer le contradictoire et la défense étendue. Afin de permettre une meilleure compréhension du processus arbitral, ce travail vise à parcourir toutes ses étapes, des principes juridiques qui l’entourent à l’évaluation des récentes modifications législatives, en passant par la mise en place de la procédure arbitrale et les actes liés à l’instruction et au jugement.

Neste volume, exploramos as relacións entre lingua e xénero, ata o de agora escasamente investigadas na nosa tradición sociolingüística. O obxectivo desta obra é debullar as diferenzas e desigualdades nos usos e valoracións da lingua que se artellan sobre esta variable sociocultural. Para isto, recorremos á revisión de investigacións precedentes e á análise de datos dos principais bancos, censos e enquisas.
КОМУНІКАТИВНО-ПРАГМАТИЧНА РЕЛЕВАНТНІСТЬ ФРАЗЕОЛОГІЗМІВ АНТИЧНОГО ПОХОДЖЕННЯ В ПОЛІТИЧНОМУ МЕДІАДИСКУРСІ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ, АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ ТА НІМЕЦЬКОЇ МОВ)

Стаття присвячена питанню вживання фразеологізмів античного походження та їх комунікативно-прагматичної релевантності в політичному медіадискурсі. Дослідження здійснюється на медійних текстах різної жанрової належності, причому на матеріалі трьох мов – української, англійської та німецької. Вибірка текстів та фактичного фразеологічного матеріалу охоплює період з січня 2022 року по червень 2023 року, тобто період особливого загострення війни Росії проти України. Об’єктом дослідження є найбільш вживані фразеологізми античного походження як узуального, так і оказіонального характеру, причому різної структурно-семантичної організації та різного ступеня переосмислення, які тяжіють до вживання у політичній сфері комунікації і референтно корелюють з політичними подіями цієї війни. В об’єкт дослідження не входять фразеологізми біблійного походження, оскільки їх обсяг є доволі обширним, а їхня семантика має здебільшого загальновживаний характер. На противагу цим мовним знакам фразеологізми античності, незважаючи на своє древнє походження, є широко вживаними у сучасному політичному дискурсі, оскільки часто є здатними своєю семантикою вербалізувати певне явище чи ситуацію політичного життя і виконати тим самим свою комунікативно-інформативну функцію. Проте основна увага в статті зосереджена на здатності досліджуваних одиниць завдяки їх структурно-семантичним особливостям та трансформаційним механізмам виступати не тільки засобом комунікації, але й інструментом прагматичного впливу на реципієнта політичної інформації. Особливу роль при цьому відіграє політична оцінка як складник їх семантичної структури, яка зазвичай є узуально обумовлена конкретними міфологічними сюжетами, історичними подіями, власними античними іменами. Крім цього ця оцінка може й посилюватися безпосередньо в дискурсі за рахунок різних структурно-семантичних трансформацій цих одиниць, зокрема, таких як редукція, вклинювання, нарощення, субституція тощо.
ВПЛИВ ЕТИМОЛОГІЇ КОНЦЕПТУ TRAVEL (JOURNEY) АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ МОВИ НА ЙОГО СУЧАСНУ СМИСЛОВУ СТРУКТУРУ
Authors: Колонюк Сергій
Published: November 2023

Концепт TRAVEL (JOURNEY) віддзеркалює ментальність англійського етносу, а зазначена своєрідність формувалася паралельно з виникненням і запозиченням мовних одиниць відповідно до потреб носіїв англійської лінгвокультури. Смислова структура концепту TRAVEL сформувалася раніше за смислову структуру його аналога JOURNEY. Розглянуто смислову структуру концепту TRAVEL (JOURNEY), що відображена в тлумачних словниках сучасної англійської мови, показано, що смислова структура концепту TRAVEL (укр. ПОДОРОЖ) (JOURNEY) (укр. ПОДОРОЖ) містить субконцепти ROAD (укр. ДОРОГА), WAY (укр. ШЛЯХ). Етимологійний аналіз словникових статей, що відображають актуалізований концепт та його субконцепти, дає змогу простежити процес розвитку та становлення смислових компонентів аналізованого концепту та уточнити його структуру. Висновкуємо, що: 1) на формування смислів концепту TRAVEL (JOURNEY) (укр. ПОДОРОЖ) вплинуло становлення англійської мови як мови британського етносу; 2) запозичені з давньофранцузької мови лексеми travel (укр. подорож), journey (укр. подорож), tour (укр. коротка подорож, поїздка) та trip (укр. поїздка) адаптовані в дискурсивній практиці; 3) структура лексичного значення слів-презентантів розглядуваного концепту та його субконцептів поповнилася новими лексико-семантичними варіантами, створивши своєрідну структуру смислового поля розглядуваного концепту; 4) слова road (укр. дорога) та way (укр. шлях) належать до споконвічних англійських лексем, тому вони продукували смисли, пов’язані з традиційним для англійської лінгвокультури розумінням процесу подорожування в просторі та часі.
АНГЛІЙСЬКІ ТА УКРАЇНСЬКІ ФРАЗЕОЛОГІЧНІ ОДИНИЦІ З ҐЕНДЕРНИМ КОМПОНЕНТОМ У РАКУРСІ ПРОБЛЕМИ СЕКСИЗМУ

У цій студії розглядається проблема лінгвістичного сексизму в англомовній та україномовній культурах. Об’єктом дослідження є фразеологічні одиниці з ґендерним компонентом, які мають ознаки сексизму – спрямованість на вивищення однієї статі та приниження іншої. Матеріал аналізу добирався з лексикографічних джерел, сама студія є результатом першого етапу дослідження взаємодії мови і соціальної свідомості у процесі сприйняття й оцінки осіб чоловічої і жіночої статі. У майбутньому планується проведення аналізу дискурсу соціальних медіа з метою отримати більш повне уявлення про функціонування фразеологічних одиниць з ґендерним компонентом, їх роль в утвердженні/ подоланні сексистських стереотипів мислення і мовлення. Інтерпретація зазначених англійських і українських фразеологічних одиниць дозволила встановити наявність ознак, за якими характеризуються представники двох статей: соціальна роль, відповідність її вимогам, зовнішність, поведінка, риси характеру, фізичні властивості, розумові здібності. Зіставний аналіз англійських і українських фразеологічних одиниць засвідчив, що в обидвох мовах здебільшого стереотипні уявлення і форми мовлення мають сексистське спрямування – від легкої насмішки до в’їдливого сарказму. Спільним для обидвох мов є також наявність пластів фразеологічних одиниць, у яких дається позитивна оцінка особам однієї чи іншої статі і які, відповідно, не є проявом сексизму. І в англійській, і в українській мовах є фразеологічні одиниці, в яких робиться протиставлення в межах одної ґендерної категорії і висловлюється позитивна/негативна оцінка. Питання сексистського спрямування таких одиниць вимагає додаткового дослідження. У нашому матеріалі відмінності між англійськими і українськими фразеологічними одиницями з ґендерним компонентом полягають у більш критичному ставленні в українській культурі до чоловіків, більшій увазі до проблем сімейного устрою, ролі жінки в родині, у гумористичному забарвленні значної частини українських фразеологічних одиниць, у їх своєрідній «демократичності», коли критиці рівною мірою піддаються і жінки, і чоловіки.
