Internet Memes as Stabilizers of Conspiracy Culture: A Cognitive Anthropological Analysis
Authors: Godwin Emily , Davidson Brittany I , Hill Timothy , Joinson Adam
Published: November 2023

Internet memes have emerged as the de facto language of the Internet, where standardized memetic templates and characters distill and communicate narratives in simple, shareable formats. While prior research has highlighted their broad appeal as they traverse diverse audiences, their cultural function within online communities has received less attention. To investigate this function, we draw on cognitive anthropological conceptualizations of culture and theorize Internet memes as “cultural representations”. We analyze 544 memes shared across two interconnected conspiratorial subreddits about COVID-19 between 2020 and 2022, employing a combination of content and thematic analysis. In doing so, we demonstrate that community members selectively engage with standardized memetic elements that resonate with their “conspiracist worldview”. Specifically, elements conveying the enduring “cultural themes” of Deception, Delusion, and Superiority function as “cultural resources” that stabilize the community’s culture. As such, we make three contributions. First, by theorizing Internet memes as cultural representations, we demonstrate their stabilizing cultural function. Second, by showing how Internet memes are used in online conspiratorial communities, we highlight their role in maintaining group cohesion and alleviating contention. Finally, we advance a revised methodological approach for the study of memetic communication.
Is there a perfect state? Empirical evidence from English and Spanish for the perfect-as-state hypothesis.
Authors: Jardon Natalia , Marx Elena , Wittenberg Eva
Published: November 2023

The distinction between past tense and perfect tense has been subject to theoretical debate for decades. Some of the most prominent accounts argue that perfect tense turns the mental representation of a past event into the mental representation of a state, based on a past event: the perfect-as-state hypothesis. This subtle distinction is notoriously difficult to trace, and has only been shown using linguistic tests. Here, we provide evidence from two experiments (total N=960), each in English and in Spanish, that operationalize stativity through event individuation, based on well-established linguistic tests. Our results show that compared to the past tense, the perfect tense leads to event construals that have more in common with states, both in English and in Spanish. These data constitute the first documentation of different event construals based on tenses that only differ in the subtlest of semantic distinctions.
Two online randomised controlled trials examining effects of alcohol calorie labelling on hypothetical ordering of calories from alcohol and food.
Authors: Jones Andrew , Robinson Eric , Gough Tom
Published: November 2023

Background: Providing calorie information for alcoholic beverages is a potential public-health intervention which may serve to reduce alcohol use but also overweight / obesity. Equivocal evidence has been found for the effectiveness of alcohol calorie information at reducing drinking intentions as well as purchasing and consumption. However, the extent at which calorie information ‘on-trade’ will impact consumer behaviour for both alcohol and food consumption has not been investigated.Aims: (1) To examine the presence of alcohol calorie labelling for hypothetical purchasing of alcohol and food in typical UK restaurant scenarios. (2) To determine the characteristics of individuals who will be likely to choose to view alcohol calorie labels.Methods: Two online randomised control trials using a hypothetical menu selection. Experiment one (N = 325) randomised individuals to alcohol calorie labels present or absent. In experiment two (N = 1,081) individuals were randomised to alcohol calorie labels absent or the choice to view alcohol calorie labels. Results: There was limited evidence that the presence of alcohol calorie information on restaurant menus impacted the number of calories ordered from alcoholic beverages or from food and soft drinks. Younger individuals and individuals who exhibit greater motives for good health were more likely to choose to view alcohol calorie labels.Conclusions: In two online, hypothetical experiments there is limited evidence for alcohol calorie labelling impacting consumer decisions to order alcohol or food. Given the choice, a self-selecting group of individuals who are more motivated by health concerns will view alcohol calorie labels, and in turn may be less likely to order alcohol.

Published: November 2023

The Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ) is a popular instrument for diagnosing dyslexia in adults, yet there is no evidence to suggest its applicability in Chinese. The aim of the present study is to develop an Adult Reading History Questionnaire for Chinese (Chinese-ARHQ) and to assess its validity among Chinese adults. A total of 2439 questionnaires were collected, with 2234 usable for further analyses (Nmales = 825，Mage = 26.29 years, SD = 9.12). Among them, 184 completed the questionnaire twice, and 221 completed reading-related tests. Results showed that the Chinese-ARHQ had a good reliability. Cronbach's reliability α was 0.88 and the test-retest reliability was 0.81. Three subscales (current reading, dyslexia symptom, and memory) were extracted from exploratory factor analysis. Scores of the Chinese-ARHQ and its subscales were both related to reading and phonological skills, revealing criterion validity of the questionnaire. ROC analysis revealed that the optimal threshold of the Chinese-ARHQ was 0.36 with a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 75.9%. Additionally, adults with reading difficulty (Chinese-ARHQ ≥ 0.36) performed worse than controls on reading accuracy and phonological awareness, which further validated the Chinese-ARHQ as a reliable self-report screening tool for Chinese dyslexia in adults.
Post-stroke fatigue severity is associated with executive dysfunction in chronic stroke
Authors: Carrick Chloe , Kusec Andrea , Demeyere Nele
Published: November 2023

Following stroke, fatigue is highly prevalent and managing fatigue is consistently rated a key unmet need by stroke survivors and professionals. Domain-specific cognitive impairments have been associated with greater fatigue severity in earlier stages of stroke recovery, but it is unclear whether these associations hold in chronic (>2 years) stroke. The present cross-sectional observational study evaluates the relationship between domain-specific cognitive functioning and the severity of self-reported fatigue among chronic stroke survivors. Participants (N = 105; mean age = 72.92, 41.90% female; mean years post-stroke = 4.57) were assessed in domains of executive functioning (Trail Making Test, Part B), attention (Hearts Cancellation test), language (Boston Naming Test), episodic memory (Logical Memory Test), and working memory (Digit Span Backwards task) as part of the OX-CHRONIC study, a longitudinal stroke cohort. Fatigue was assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale. In a multiple linear regression analysis inclusive of above cognitive domains, only poorer executive functioning was associated with increased fatigue severity. This provides insight into the cognitive impairment profile of post-stroke fatigue long term after stroke, with executive functioning deficits as the key hallmark.

Self-harm (SH) is one of the strongest predictors of eventual death by suicide. This study examines the potential protective role of reasons for living (RFL) and hope in youth with a history of self-harm using data from a randomized control trial (RCT) of brief cognitive behavioural therapy (BCBT). A single-blind, pilot RCT examined the efficacy of BCBT for suicide prevention versus an attentional control in youth aged 15-25 admitted to hospital following self-harm. Subjects’ reasons for living and hope were measured weekly by the Reasons for Living Scale (RFL) and Adult Hope Scale (AHS), respectively, for 10 weeks of acute treatment. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate whether baseline RFL and AHS scores predicted repeat self-harm. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare median RFL and AHS scores. Our study did not find associations between reasons for living or hope and repeat self-harm in youth. Treatment with BCBT was also not associated with improved scores on either measure.
Effects of a brief one-day autonomy-supportive intervention on improving basic psychological needs, motivation, and behaviours of physical activity among middle-school students: A multidimensional approach
Authors: Tilga Henri , Kalajas-Tilga Hanna , Hein Vello , Koka Andre
Published: November 2023

Most of the previous self-determination theory based autonomy-supportive interventions have considered autonomy-supportive and controlling behaviours as unidimensional constructs. In this study, an intervention program for physical education (PE) teachers was conducted to test whether it would lead to changes in their students’ perceptions of multidimensional autonomy-supportive (i.e., cognitive, organisational and procedural) and controlling behaviours (i.e., intimidation, negative conditional regard, controlling use of grades), psychological need satisfaction and frustration, identified regulation and intrinsic motivation, and self-reported leisure-time physical activity. Forty two middle-school PE teachers (15 men and 27 women) and their 415 students (221 boys and 194 girls) were randomly assigned into either an experimental or control group. Teachers aged between 23 and 68 years (Mage = 44.76, SD = 13.69) and students aged between 12 and 15 years (Mage = 13.16, SD = 0.80). Experimental group teachers participated in a brief one-day 8-hour Autonomy-Supportive Intervention Program for Physical Education (ASIP-PE). We found that the ASIP-PE significantly increased students’ perceptions of their PE teachers’ cognitive and procedural autonomy support, and experiences of need satisfaction for autonomy and competence. Also, a significant decrease was found for students’ perceptions of their PE teachers negative conditional regard, intimidation and need frustration for autonomy. These findings suggest that ASIP-PE was partly effective to change students’ perceptions.
Parental Involvement in the Education of Children with Additional Support Needs during the Pandemic: A Cross-National Qualitative Study
Authors: Jovanović Olja , Dedić Zrinka Ristić , Poredoš Mojca
Published: November 2023

Parental involvement in children’s education is one of the main components of inclusive education and one of the crucial factors in achieving positive academic outcomes for children with additional support needs (ASN). Using a comparative qualitative methodology, this study explores parents’ perspectives on their involvement in the education of children with ASN attending the lower secondary educational cycle during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted in Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia—three culturally and educationally similar contexts that applied slightly different educational measures during the pandemic. The study aims to explore the experiences of parental involvement during the pandemic and to gain insights into the personal, familial and contextual factors (level 1 factors in Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler’s model [1995, 1997, 2005]) that influence these involvement practices. Semi-structured interviews with 42 parents of children with ASN from three countries were conducted in the spring of 2022. In all three contexts, the parents intensified at-home involvement and assumed various roles in supporting their children’s learning during the pandemic. Three parental profiles were identified: stable high, intensified and stable low involvement, which were described based on their specific mixture of personal, familial and contextual factors. The results confirm the importance of parental role construction and self-efficacy, the perception of children’s difficulties and the specific invitation from the child, as well as the perception of family life context, in determining parents’ decisions about involvement during the pandemic; however, the results also highlight the crucial role of parental perception of school support for the child.
Assessing the Validity of Google Surveys for Sociological Research
Authors: Cisternino Irissa , Jones Jason Jeffrey , Skiena Steven
Published: November 2023

The development of the internet has led to the rise of multiple online platforms for conducting survey research. These platforms have become widely used within the social sciences, though debates regarding the validity of data obtained via these platforms persist among scholars. This paper examines the use of two separate modalities for conducting online survey research: a mobile rewards app, and a web-based "survey wall" method. We make use of the Google Surveys platform, examining the two survey modalities as compared to data from the 2018 General Social Survey. Overall, we find this platform to be a valuable tool for social scientists, and though the platform has recently been sunset, we believe these results are still useful for scholars conducting online survey research.

Validity and Reliability of Digital Trace Data in Media Exposure Measures: A Multiverse of Measurements Analysis
Authors: Bosch Oriol J.
Published: November 2023

Given the doubts about survey self-reports, media exposure research has turned to web tracking data. However, web tracking data is also biased. To improve the understanding of the quality of web tracking measures of media exposure, this paper estimates their validity and reliability. It additionally identifies design choices to optimize these. Using data from a cross-national three-wave survey, combined with web tracking, this paper conducts a multiverse analysis to assess the validity and reliability of +2,500 measures of media exposure. Results show an overall high reliability (0.86). In terms of predictive validity, the association between media exposure measures and political knowledge appears weak. This raises questions about the predictive validity of web tracking measures, and previous critiques to surveys self-reports. Additionally, results suggest that design choices impact the quality of web tracking measures. Methodologically, the paper presents a multiverse of measurements approach, improving the transparency of web tracking research.
DEFEN-CE: Social Dialogue in Defence of Vulnerable Groups in Post-COVID-19 Labour Markets. Report on Serbia
Authors: Arandarenko Mihail , Aleksić Dragan
Published: November 2023

The aim of this country report is to provide answers to the following DEFEN-CE research questions:1. What public policy and social dialogue measures targeting the selected vulnerable groups were implemented to employment and social protection during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-2022? 2. To what extent and how did social dialogue play a role in the implementation of social and employment rights of selected vulnerable groups in the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022? 3. What lessons and opportunities does the COVID-19 pandemic yield for strengthening social dialogue in the studied countries?In order to answer these questions we used a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. We started with the collection of the most relevant labour market data, especially regarding vulnerable groups. Then, by using the desk research we were able to synthesize the existing knowledge on public policies and social dialogue in the COVID-19 crisis. Finally, we conducted 10 semi-structured interviews to explore in-depth the role of social partners in the defence of the vulnerable groups.
Doing Family before the State. Does recognition of de facto families lead to more inclusive migration law practices?
Authors: Bonjour Saskia , Diepenmaat Susan
Published: November 2023

Critical scholars have long called for state recognition of de facto families, beyond legal or biological ties, as a pathway toward inclusion of more diverse family forms. This article asks to what extent recognition of de facto families indeed leads to more inclusion, in the context of a restrictive immigration regime in which families need state permission to live together. It zooms in on migration law practice in the Netherlands, through an analysis of laws and regulations, work instructions of street-level implementers, and interviews with migration lawyers. It finds that conceptions of family-as-doing which focus on practices of dependency and care play a small but significant role in Dutch migration law, enabling inclusion of families beyond the nuclear model. However, recognition of de facto families may lead to new forms of state scrutiny of intimate lives, as well as to new forms of exclusion.

Danish Asylum Adjudication using Deep Neural Networks and Natural Language Processing
Authors: Muddamsetty Satya M. , Jahromi Mohammad N. S. , Moeslund Thomas B. , Gammeltoft-Hansen Thomas
Published: November 2023

The Danish asylum adjudication procedure is a two-tiered system, with the Immigration Service making initial determinations and the Danish Refugee Appeals Board (RAB) automatically appealing cases that are rejected. This study aims to employ a deep neural network (DNN)-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) pipeline to predict asylum decision-making outcomes using a dataset of over 15,515 Danish asylum decisions provided by the Danish Refugee Appeals Board (RAB) between January 1995 and January 2021. This research seeks to improve the performance and effectiveness of decision-making in asylum cases by addressing key challenges, such as modeling the asylum decision-making problem using NLP-based DNNs and dealing with class imbalance issues. Our preliminary results indicate that DNN-based NLP predictive models are capable of learning meaningful representations of asylum cases with high precision and recall, particularly when class weights are considered than the baseline DNN model.
Attitude of Russians to the topic of material well-being: analysis of comments in social media
Authors: Milkova Maria , Magun Vladimir , Fabrykant Marharyta
Published: November 2023

The current study is a content analysis of news comments posted on the Russian social network VKontakte to investigate the expression of opinions on material well-being. Based on NLP methods, we analyze the main groups of expression, which are considered in the context of formulating evaluations and appealing to social norms. We analyze the content of discourse at the micro-level; analyze how attitudes towards the topic of material well-being are expressed through evaluative and normative statements; and identify the key actors of the discussions. The analysis shows the prevalence of generalized statements, which consider their country and people as a whole, opposed to the outside world. The most significant problems, such as price growth, unemployment, are not actively discussed. One's own situation is usually characterized by neutral or positive assessments, while a generalized judgment about the life of the "Russian people" is predominantly assessed negatively. It is shown that on the basis of a negative assessment of the current state of affairs a person appeals to the social norm. A significant share of normative statements are prescriptions, which are less connected with references to specific individuals or organizations. Thus, the discussions do not show any tendency for Russian citizens to impute to the country's leadership the obligation to take measures to change life for the best.
The need to develop tailored tools for improving the quality of thematic bibliometric analyses: Evidence from papers published in Sustainability and Scientometrics
Authors: Clavijo Álvaro Cabezas , guisado Yusnelkis Milanes , Alba-Ruiz Rubén , Delgado-Vázquez Angel M.
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The aim of this article is to explore up to seven parameters related to the methodological quality and reproducibility of thematic bibliometric research published in the two most productive journals in bibliometrics, Sustainability (a journal outside the discipline) and Scientometrics, the flagship journal in the field.Design/methodology/approach: The study identifies the need for developing tailored tools for improving the quality of thematic bibliometric analyses, and presents a framework that can guide the development of such tools. A total of 508 papers are analysed, 77% of Sustainability, and 23% published in Scientometrics, for the 2019-2021 period.Findings: An average of 2.6 shortcomings per paper was found for the whole sample, with an almost identical number of flaws in both journals. Sustainability has more flaws than Scientometrics in four of the seven parameters studied, while Scientometrics has more shortcomings in the remaining three variables.Research limitations: The first limitation of this work is that it is a study of two scientific journals, so the results cannot be directly extrapolated to the set of thematic bibliometric analyses published in journals from all fields.Practical implications: We propose the adoption of protocols, guidelines, and other similar tools, adapted to bibliometric practice, which could increase the thoroughness, transparency, and reproducibility of this type of research.Originality/value: These results show considerable room for improvement in terms of the adequate use and breakdown of methodological procedures in thematic bibliometric research, both in journals in the Information Science area and journals outside the discipline.

The development of ICT skills in adolescence at the intersection of gender and family background
Authors: Wicht Alexandra , Kleinert Corinna , Schmidt Isabelle
Published: November 2023

We examine the intersection of gender and social as well as ethnic family background to explain individual differences in skills in information and communications technology (ICT) during adolescence. We used data from the National Educational Panel Study Starting Cohort 4 (NEPS-SC4), which contains repeated measures of ICT skills spanning three years (grades 9 and 12) in a sample of 5,507 students attending upper secondary schools [Gymnasium or comprehensive schools with Gymnasium track] in Germany. The results indicate a gender gap in ICT skills in grade 9 in favor of males, which widens further in grade 12. Moreover, ICT skills in grade 9 are a function of the interaction of gender and social background, with gender differences not observed among socially privileged students with high economic and cultural capital, suggesting more gender-egalitarian socialization among them. In contrast, the gender gap in the change in ICT skills in grade 12 remains largely unaffected by family background. Only income plays a role, with the gender gap disappearing for students with higher economic capital. The finding that intersectionality is less evident in the further development of gender-specific ICT skills points to the relevance of factors outside the family context.
Hostility on Twitter in the Aftermath of Terror Attacks
Authors: Czymara Christian S. , Gorodzeisky Anastasia
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the relationship between major Jihadist terror attacks and manifestations of ethno-religious hostility on social media. Analyzing approximately 4.5 million time-stamped Tweets from 1.2 million users across five European countries, the study focuses on content discussing migration and related topics in the weeks before and after ten significant terror attacks. The findings show a notable and robust increase in hostile Tweets after an attack. An interrupted time series analysis demonstrates a 10% point surge at the time of the attack, followed by a gradual decline. Accordingly, the impact of such attacks on online hostility diminishes approximately seven days after the event. Further analyses reveal that while attacks have the strongest effect on Tweets about Muslims and Islam, the attacks also increase hostility in Tweets about migration in general. We find that the overall attack effect is driven by both intra-user changes in Tweeting and changes in the composition of users posting after an attack. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the interplay between terrorist events and online discourse, shedding light on the dynamics of ethno-religious hostility in the digital realm.
Desbordando la comunicación sonora. Propuesta conceptual sobre el transpodcast (pódcast transmedia)
Authors: García-Marín David
Published: November 2023

Este breve ensayo propone y aclara el uso del concepto transpodcast para denominar a los proyectos transmedia que, partiendo de un pódcast matriz, expanden su narrativa en otras plataformas, medios y lenguajes. Análogo al concepto de transradio, el transpodcast extiende sus historias (sin repetición de contenido y con funciones diferenciadas) en espacios de la web como los blogs, las redes sociales, radios digitales y newsletters, y puede complementar su relato en contextos no digitales, como son los eventos presenciales en directo. Conviene diferenciar estas estrategias transpodcast de otros desarrollos como los relatos transmedia donde el pódcast es extensión narrativa y no elemento central del proyecto, o las conversiones del mismo contenido (sonoro) en otros medios y/o plataformas.
Por qué evitamos las noticias. Algunas evidencias desde la desigualdad de acceso a la información digital en España
Authors: Díaz-Noci Javier , Pérez-Altable Laura
Published: November 2023

El consumo y la eventual evitación de noticias digitales muestra características diferenciales relacionadas con la desigualdad económica en España. Al tratarse de un sistema democrático polarizado, de acuerdo con la clasificación de Hallin y Mancini de 2004, España tiene algunos rasgos un tanto diferenciados de otros países de su entorno. De acuerdo con los datos obtenidos en una encuesta propia llevada a cabo en el primer trimestre de 2022, una cuarta parte de quienes respondieron -de forma convenientemente estratificada- aseguraron que tienen poca confianza en las noticias digitales de los medios de comunicación. De ellos, la mitad indica que la razón de evitar el consumo de noticias, al menos de forma directa -otra cosa es el consumo incidental- es la falta de credibilidad de los medios de comunicación, mayor incluso que la que atribuyen a los periodistas. Por otra parte, la clase social -es decir, los ingresos económicos, además de factores como la educación- influye en cómo se consumen las noticias. Las clases más desfavorecidas evitan más el acceso directo a los medios, pero, por razones diferentes; también lo hacen las clases altas, seguramente porque obtienen la información por otros conductos.
Метод незакінчених речень в міждисциплінарному дослідженні соціально-демографічних та лінгвокультурних особливостей засуджених за колабораційну діяльність
Authors: Shymko Vitalii
Published: November 2023

Мета. Розгляд специфіки застосування методу незакінчених речень в міждисциплінарному дослідженні соціально-демографічних та лінгвокультурних особливостей на прикладі з’ясування особистісних чинників колабораціонізму.

Методики дослідження. Концепт дослідження розроблено та реалізовано на основі системного розуміння поведінки як складної та багаторівневої взаємодії суб’єкта із середовищем. А саме, використано теоретичні положення структурно-онтологічної методології соціальних, гуманітарних та поведінкових наук. На вказаних засадах розроблено опитувальник “Особливості мого світогляду”, до якого окрім традиційних соціологічних критеріїв включено запитання щодо поведінкових звичок та різноманітних світоглядних особливості респондентів. Окремим блоком в опитувальник інтегровано десять стемів незакінчених речень. Дослідженням охоплено дві групи – експериментальна (58 суб’єктів пробації, засуджених за колабораційну діяльність) та контрольна (388 працівників уповноважених органів та підрозділів з питань пробації).

Результати. Узагальнений соціально-демографічний профіль колаборанта поряд з низьким рівнем достатку і освіти, включає проблемне здоров’я та тенденцію нехтувати спортом і фізичною культурою. Поєднання перелічених чинників експериментальної групи є ознакою тенденції щодо більш низького рівня соціального благополуччя порівняно із характеристиками контрольної групи. У колаборантів виявлено тенденцію щодо психологічного дистанціювання від національно-культурного простору України. Ця особливість була ретельно досліджена за допомогою використання методу незакінчених речень, п’ять з яких виявили суттєві статистично значущі відмінності в досліджуваних групах.

Висновки. Метод незакінчених дозволяє суттєво поглибити розуміння та конкретизувати гіпотези, зроблені за допомогою інших методів. Зокрема,  соціально-демографічний індикатор психологічного дистанціювання колаборантів від соціуму пояснюється світоглядними відмінностями досліджуваних – ціннісний егоцентризм колаборантів та, як наслідок, брак соціально-відповідальної взаємодії з суспільством. Соціальна реабілітація повинна передбачати поглиблення ступеню соціальної залученості колаборантів, яка здебільшого обмежується близько-родинним колом. Більшість досліджених колаборантів не виявили концепту «омріяного майбутнього». Образ прийдешнього, як правило, зводиться до вузького егоцентричного змісту у вигляді простого покращення поточної соціально-побутової ситуації людини. Більшість колаборантів є носіями світоглядної ідеї щодо соціальної лояльності. Однак, ця ідея не трансформується в патріотичну проукраїнську позицію через відсутність у колаборантів суспільної залученості в результаті ціннісного інфантилізму. Отже основні напрямки соціальної реабілітації пов’язані з ціннісною диференціацією колаборантів, а також розвитком в них емоційного інтелекту.
Мовлення дітей шести років з логопатологією: Особливості та стан розвитку
Authors: Bielova Olena
Published: November 2023

Мета дослідження: опис стану розвиненості мовлення дітей шести років із логопатологією.

Методи і методики дослідження. Під час експериментального дослідження використані теоретичні методи, спрямовані на аналіз результатів дослідження та формування висновків. Емпіричні методи передбачають аналіз, порівняння, обробку даних, а також проведення спостереження та бесід із дітьми під час використання різних типів завдань, спрямованих на вивчення стану сформованості фонематичної (фонематичного сприймання, фонематичного аналізу, фонематичного уявлення), лексичної (пасивний та активний словники), граматичної (складання розповідей на різні теми, уживання займенників, узгодження слів у роді, числі, відмінку), просодичної (гучність, темп, інтонація, дикція) компетентностей.

Результати проведеного дослідження дають чітке уявлення про те, що між групами досліджуваних дітей із логопатологією та з нормотиповим психофізичним розвитком існують суттєві відмінності щодо сформованості в них мовленнєво-мовних компетентностей. Діти старшого дошкільного віку (шести років), котрі виявили низькі показники, мають стійкі порушення фонематичної компетентності (сприймання, аналізу та уявлення); недостатньо сформовану лексичну компетентність (нерозуміння значення слів, труднощі під час складання розповіді, проблеми щодо класифікації понять та визначення слів із протилежним значенням); несформовану граматичну компетентність (аграматизм, спотворення звукової структури слів, персеверації, парафазії, невміння вживати займенники, узгоджувати прикметники в числі, роді та відмінку); нерозвинену просодичну компетентність (неврегульована сила голосу, темп мовлення, невиразні висловлювання, дикційні можливості обмежені через стійкі порушення звуковимови).

Висновки. У дітей шести років із логопатологією недостатньо розвинені фонетична, лексична, граматична та просодична компетентності, як порівняти із результатами їх однолітків з нормотиповим психофізичним розвитком. Несформованість мовленнєво-мовних компетентностей  подалі впливатиме на оволодіння дітьми навичками письма та читання під час засвоєння навчальної програми в школі.
Visual and Auditory Temporal Processing in Elementary School Children
Authors: Vásquez Claudia , Muñetón-Ayala Mercedes
Published: November 2023

Purpose. Temporal processing shows an evolutionary character in accordance with age and schooling. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of temporal processing in children in different grades in primary school.
Methods. 470 children (aged 5–13), in five school grades, were compared to a Temporal Order Judgment. Similar visual and auditory, linguistic, and nonlinguistic stimuli were presented to them. A three-factor repeated measure multivariate analysis of variance was used to examine the effects of Grade (1°vs.2°vs.3°vs.4°vs.5°) x Stimulus (Linguistic vs. Nonlinguistic) x Modality (Visual vs. Auditory).
Results. These three factors have significant interactions. Auditory-nonlinguistic tasks were easier than auditory-linguistic tasks in every grade. Visual-nonlinguistic tasks were easier than visual-linguistic tasks in higher grades, and 1st grade differed significantly from the other school grades in all cases. The higher the school grade, the better the performance of TOJ tasks. Visual-linguistic tasks were easier than auditory-linguistic tasks.
Conclusions. The present study provides evidence concerning the progressive nature of temporal processing among primary school children. This development trajectory is particularly noteworthy for students in lower primary school grades. Furthermore, the Temporal Order Judgment (TOJ) task exhibited robust experimental support, rendering it a valuable tool for assessing temporal processing within conventional school populations. This task offers the potential to assess TP across auditory and / or visual modalities, with diverse types of stimuli (linguistic vs. non-linguistic). Finally, the auditory modality, and especially the auditory linguistic modality, showed greater sensitivity depending on the school grade.
Variativity of the Speaker’s Verbal and Non-verbal Behavior in the English Managerial Discourse
Authors: Soloshchuk Lyudmila , Skrynnik Yuliia
Published: November 2023

Introduction. This paper focuses on the study of the verbal and non-verbal repertoire of the speaker changing his/her social roles in the managerial type of discourse in the psycholinguistic perspective. The ambition of this analysis is to regard the strategies and tactics of the social roles’ performance with the detailed psycholinguistic analysis of the verbal and non-verbal repertoire of the speakers. Taking into account a speaker’s mental representations, sociolinguistic characteristics, interpreted as a speaker’s social status and roles, and the communicative situation itself, the research purposes are to explore the influence of the managerial context of communication on the communicative repertoire of the speaker transitioning from a leadership role to a subordinate one or from a subordinate role to a leadership role; the analysis of the difference in the realization of the communicative strategies by the same speaker performing either a leadership role or a subordinate social role in the managerial discourse also presents the goal of this paper.

Methods and procedure of research. The research is carried out on the basis of the analysis of 578 dialogical fragments from film scripts in which changing of social roles by a discursive personality in the managerial discourse is presented. The discursive analysis, contextual and situational analysis, pragma-linguistic analysis, and elements of quantitative calculations are used in the article.

Results. The verbal and non-verbal repertoire of the realization of the strategies and tactics for the social roles performance in the managerial discourse are distinguished in the article. Their ratio is calculated in the research in order to display the most efficient ones for the successful role performance. The paper proves that the usage of stereotyped verbal and non-verbal models of communication in the managerial discourse contributes to the realization of the certain social role, and thus, to the achievement of the communicative goals.

Conclusions. The hierarchization of status-role relations in the managerial discourse influences the speech repertoire of the speaker. This is reflected in the verbal and non-verbal means of implementing the strategies of dominance and subordination in the managerial discourse. A promising area of the research is connected with the studying of discursive variability of verbal and non-verbal communicative components which provide the social roles’ performance in the intercultural managerial discourse with considering the psycholinguistic peculiarities of the speaker.

Purpose. Automated Corrective Feedback (ACF) is one of the techniques used in EFL writing instruction and assessment. This technique has been widely employed to improve students’ writing skills over the last few decades. Adopting a mixed-method design with data triangulation, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of utilizing WRITER, one of the ACF software, on critical writing aspects including use and mechanics, vocabulary, structural organization, and content.
Methods and procedure. A pre-post quasi-experimental research design was arranged to collect data from 44 Arab EFL learners assigned to four groups: two peer and self-editing control groups and two automated peer and self-editing experimental groups. While the two control groups were required to perform conventional self- or peer-editing tasks, the two experimental groups used WRITER, an ACF software, to edit both their own essays and those written by peers. Statistical analysis was run to examine differences in the writing aspects across the groups.
Findings. The analysisиindicated significant differences among these four groups. Students involved in the peer-editing experimental group outperformed all groups on mechanics and structural organization. In addition, the self-editing experimental group did better than other groups in improving their vocabulary. Nonetheless, students in the self-editing control group, who did not utilize any type of ACF to improve their writing, performed better than all other groups in terms of the content aspect. Overall results revealed that ACF could increase the productivity of class time; provide valuable feedback on grammar, word choice, structural organization, use and mechanics and enhance students’ self-confidence in their compositions. These results suggest that ACF has a significant effect on EFL writing and can be an effective tool for improving writing skills.
Conclusions. This study examined the impact of ACF of WRITER, a type of computer-assisted language learning tool, on enhancing EFL learners’ knowledge of the writing aspects. The findings of the study have some practical implications in the EFL writing classroom, as they inspire educators to incorporate ACF in self- and peer-editing activities and help their students improve language competency.
Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Cancer Properties of Selected Green Leafy Vegetables - A Review
Authors: B. Oluwole Oluwatoyin
Published: November 2023

Green leafy vegetables are edible leaves of plants and are important components of a balanced. They are consumed alone or alongside other dishes as sauces or soups. Green leafy vegetables are packed with nutrients predominantly bioactive compounds that have been reported to promote a healthy state and ameliorate disease conditions. These bioactive compounds exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other biological activities. Non-communicable diseases including cancers, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases have been reported to be aggravated by inflammation and oxidative stress. This paper, therefore, aimed to provide the scientific validation for the selected green-leafy vegetables as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents. Databases including PubMed, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect were used to perform the search. The reviewed vegetables include Vernonia amygdalina, Corchorus olitorius, Talinum triangulare, Telfairia occidentalis, Gongronema latifolium, Moringa oleifera and Celosia argentea. Although the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties of these vegetables were presented, detailed studies from multiple researchers were scanty. Therefore, further studies on these vegetables are encouraged to have sufficient data to ascertain scientific validation for anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer claims.
Клініко-діагностичне значення субкласів імуноглобуліну G у верифікації імунодефіцитів
Authors: Kazmirchuk V. E. , Tsaryk V. V. , Vojtyuk Т. V. , Dukelska N. E.
Published: November 2023

У загальній практиці клінічних імунологів у разі симптомів рецидивуючої та хронічної інфекційної патології не прийнято використовувати визначення субкласів імуноглобуліну (Ig) класу G при нормальному рівні сироваткового IgG. Таким чином, вищевказаних хворих не беруть на облік, не дообстежують та вони не отримують необхідного лікування. З роками у таких хворих виникає декомпенсація субкласів IgG, яка супроводжується тривалим перебігом різних інфекційних процесів та ускладненнями. Тому рання діагностика, своєчасне лікування і профілактика ускладнень імунодефіциту ґрунтується на знаннях клінічних імунологів та лікарів загальної практики сучасних методів діагностики.

Зміни глобальної і локальної скоротливості міокарда в учасників ліквідації наслідків аварії на ЧАЕС із стабільною стенокардією
Authors: Nastina O. M.
Published: November 2023

Досліджено зміни глобальної і локальної скоротливості міокарда в учасників ліквідації наслідків аварії (УЛНА) на ЧАЕС із стабільною стенокардією. Регулярне тривале лікування сприяло стабілізації показників глобальної та локальної скоротливості міокарда. Достовірно збільшувались фракція викиду, ступінь скорочення передньо-заднього розміру лівого шлуночка в систолу, товщина міжшлуночкової перетинки в систолу. При епізодичному лікуванні поступово погіршувались досліджувані показники. Корекція змін глобальної та локальної скоротливості міокарда в УЛНА відбувалась повільніше, ніж в контролі. Встановлено достовірну різницю між показниками фракції викиду, кінцево-діастолічного об’єму лівого шлуночка серця, екскурсії міжшлуночкової перетинки та її товщини в систолу в УЛНА і хворих загальної популяції. Результати моніторування глобальної та локальної скоротливості міокарда в УЛНА із стабільною стенокардією в динаміці обґрунтовують доцільність тривалої підтримуючої терапії із застосуванням препаратів з доказово доведеним впливом.
Вплив антиагрегантної терапії на клітинний та гуморальний імунітет у хворих на прогресуючу стенокардію
Authors: Zavalska T. V.
Published: November 2023

Обстежено 65 хворих з прогресуючою стенокардією віком від 67 до 73 років. Популяцію і субпопуляцію лімфоцитів визначали методом моноклональних антитіл, імуноглубліни (Ig) класів G, A, M та циркулюючих імунних комплексів у сироватці крові – за методом Манчіні. Отримані результати показали, що комбінація клопідогрелю з аспірином (аспігрель) в базисній терапії хворих з прогресуючою стенокардією більш ефективна порівняно з базисною терапією, яка включала тільки клопідогрель, про що свідчить позитивна динаміка більшості показників імунного статусу хворих.

Published: November 2023

Вивчено імуномодулюючі властивості перспективних пребіотиків – галактозовмісних β-полісахаридів арабіногалактану, арабіногалактану з флавоноїдами, карагінану, галактоманану та їх гідролізованих форм. Встановлено, що пероральне введення експериментальним тваринам досліджуваних β-полісахаридів призводить до значної активації клітин імунної системи і синтезу гуморальних факторів у їх організмі, які значно підвищують цитотоксичну активність сироватки крові. Найбільш виражений імуномодулюючий ефект проявляють арабіногалактан з флавоноїдами і карагінан.
