Study on Creep Characteristics of Water Saturated Phyllite
Authors: Wu Yabin , Hu Jianhua , Wen Guanping
Published: October 2022

Phyllite is affected by its own bedding, stress environment and water-saturated conditions. There are great differences in its deformation and failure in engineering, and its creep characteristics are an important basis for evaluating the long-term stability of phyllite engineering. Therefore, this study carried out creep tests of water-saturated phyllite under different bedding angles and confining pressures, studied the coupling effect of factors that affect the creep characteristics of phyllite, and investigated and analyzed the deformation characteristics of a phyllite roadway support on site to provide basic support for phyllite roadway mine disaster control and collaborative mining research. The results showed the following: (1) When the bedding dip angle was 30~60°, under the control of the bedding, the sliding deformation along the bedding suddenly increased under the low-stress condition and the specimen did not undergo structural damage. It could continuously bear multi-level stress and generated creep deformation. In this case, a phyllite roadway should adopt the support method of combining flexibility and rigidity. (2) In the process of multi-stage stress loading, the creep instantaneous stress was directly proportional to the initial stress. When the stress was loaded to 50% of the failure strength, the instantaneous stress tended to be stable and maintained a linear, slightly increasing relationship with the stress. When the bedding angle was 30~60°, the creep deformation accounted for more than 50% of the total deformation. The bedding angles of 0° and 90° were dominated by the instantaneous strain during the stress loading process. For the flexible support of the roadway, the deformation caused by disturbance stress should be fully considered. (3) The uniaxial creep specimen mainly displayed compression shear tensile failure, with a small number of parallel cracks along the main fracture surface. The triaxial creep fracture mode changed to single shear failure. The confining pressure showed greater inhibition of the creep of the specimen with a bedding inclination of 0° and 90°. The strength design of the rigid support should refer to the original rock stress value of the roadway. The creep deformation and failure of the specimen with a bedding inclination of 30~60° were mainly controlled by the bedding. The included angle between the bedding dip angle and the maximum principal stress should be kept within 30~60° as far as possible in the roadway layout.
Life Cycle Assessment of Hydrogen Transportation Pathways via Pipelines and Truck Trailers: Implications as a Low Carbon Fuel
Authors: Tayarani Hanif , Ramji Aditya
Published: October 2022

Hydrogen fuel cells have the potential to play a significant role in the decarbonization of the transportation sector globally and especially in California, given the strong regulatory and policy focus. Nevertheless, numerous questions arise regarding the environmental impact of the hydrogen supply chain. Hydrogen is usually delivered on trucks in gaseous form but can also be transported via pipelines as gas or via trucks in liquid form. This study is a comparative attributional life cycle analysis of three hydrogen production methods alongside truck and pipeline transportation in gaseous form. Impacts assessed include global warming potential (GWP), nitrogen oxide, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5). In terms of GWP, the truck transportation pathway is more energy and ecologically intensive than pipeline transportation, despite gaseous truck transport being more economical. A sensitivity analysis of pipeline transportation and life cycle inventories (LCI) attribution is included. Results are compared across multiple scenarios of the production and transportation pathways to discover the strongest candidates for minimizing the environmental footprint of hydrogen production and transportation. The results indicate the less ecologically intensive pathway is solar electrolysis through pipelines. For 1 percent pipeline attribution, the total CO2eq produced per consuming 1 MJ of hydrogen in a fuel cell pickup truck along this pathway is 50.29 g.

Authors: Xavier António , Costa Freitas Maria de Belém , Fragoso Rui , Rosário Maria do Socorro
Published: October 2022

Society recognises the importance of agriculture to supply goods, which are essential for human survival and well-being. Sustainable agriculture is an important goal since resources need to be preserved for future generations. The recent agricultural policy orientations towards environmental concerns have also had consequences for Portuguese agriculture. The information provided by the 2019 Agricultural Census offers an opportunity to analyse the recent dynamics and establish rankings of municipalities related to agricultural sustainability. Sustainability in agriculture can be studied using different types of indicators, but its quantification and aggregation into an index is still difficult. This paper proposes an approach based on compromise programming to analyse sustainability considering the dynamics between the 2009 and 2019 Agricultural Census. This approach has three main steps: in the first one, the indicators are selected and a HJ-Biplot and Cluster analysis are carried out to identify groups of municipalities and general dynamics; in the second step, the weights of indicators are defined, and a novel compromise programming model is implemented to define the rankings of sustainability for each year; finally, in the third step, the spatial dynamics of the sustainability rankings are analysed and classified into the clusters of municipalities previously created. The analysis was implemented using data from the 308 Portuguese municipalities for 12 individual indicators encompassing the several dimensions of sustainability. The results were promising since the approach allowed for the identification of the main dynamics and tendencies regarding sustainability.

Published: October 2022

Sugar beet is one of the main sugar crops and an important cash crop in the three northern regions of China (Northeast China, North China, and Northwest China). As an arid region, Xinjiang lacks water resources. The establishment of a reasonable drip-irrigation system for sugar beet in Xinjiang can not only achieve the goal of high quality and high yield, but is also crucial for the efficient utilization of water and fertilizer. This research was implemented in the experimental field of the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences’ Sugar Beet Improvement Center in Manas County, Xinjiang, from the year 2019. Taking ST 15140 sugar beet as the experimental variety, a field study was conducted to investigate the effects of different irrigation and fertilization methods on the yield and sugar content of sugar beets. Ten treatments of two irrigation levels (W1: 4500 m3 ha−1, W2: 5400 m3 ha−1) and five fertilization methods (F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5) were carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. The yield and sugar content; growth indicators such as leaf photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content and intercellular CO2 concentration; and fertilizer-use efficiency (nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE), phosphorus-use efficiency (PUE), and potassium-use efficiency (KUE)) during the sugar beet growing seasons were determined. The results indicated that the W1F3 (4500 m3 ha−1, N 229.5 kg ha−1 + P2O5 180 kg ha−1 + K2O 202.5 kg ha−1 + hydroquinone 229.5 g ha−1) treatment had the highest yield and sugar content of 132.20 Mg ha−1 and 15.61%, respectively. For crop growth indicators, the photosynthetic rate (33.27 μmol m−2 s−1) and the stomatal conductance (252.67 mmol m−2 s−1) under W1F3 were both the highest among all of the treatments. The fertilizer-use efficiency in W1F3 was in the following order: KUE > NUE > PUE. The highest KUE (128.10%) and NUE (65.49%) occurred under W1F3 at the sugar accumulation stage of the crop growing season. In addition, K determined the yield and sugar content of sugar beet by influencing growth factors such as the photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, intercellular CO2 concentration, along with the KUE, which explained 30.2%, 5.1%, 10%, and 14.7% of the variation in yield and sugar content, respectively. The results of this study indicated that the application of an inhibitor with optimized-minus-N fertilization under lower irrigation (W1F3) was the optimal treatment. Above all, K determined the yield and sugar contents of sugar beets, emphasizing the pivotal role of K in the growth, physiological processes, and output of sugar beets.

The global community has faced significant challenges in the twenty-first century, such as COVID-19, which have led to uncertainty about the survival of current and future generations. Educating the next generation of employers and leaders is the primary goal of educational institutions, particularly in higher education. Education promotes sustainable development (SD) when learners acquire ethics, abilities, and skills that assist them in affecting positive changes in themselves and their communities. Policies, projects, and investments that benefit society today while protecting the environment, human health, and social well-being in the future are considered SD. This study aimed to develop our understanding of how to promote SD in Pakistani higher education institutions (HEIs) by finding out students’ perceptions about their institutions’ commitment to SDGs and SD. The data for this quantitative-descriptive study were gathered through an online survey. The study involved 1109 students from ten Pakistani HEIs. The study results show that SD has become an essential issue in the present era. In students’ perceptions, HEIs should give more training on sustainable development goals. Furthermore, students’ self-declared statements indicated that most have sustainable habits and behaviors. Students of different genders had different sustainability behaviors and habits. Students are less likely to participate in environmental or higher education organizations supporting sustainable development. HEIs and stakeholders in Pakistan and worldwide are still needed to participate actively and engage in improving education for SD.

Published: October 2022

On-water sightseeing plays a key role in the tourism of traditional Chinese landscapes. The on-water landscape affects tourism potential and the quality of urban landscapes. Current research on river landscape is mainly based on remote sensing images or on-land approaches, while studies of on-water perspective landscapes at different river scales is lacking. In this paper, with Guilin city rivers taken as an example, we adopt image semantic segmentation technology to evaluate the visual landscape characteristics under different river scales, and subsequently employ automatic linear modeling to screen important factors affecting aesthetic quality. The results reveal the obvious differences between the on-water landscape characteristics of different scale rivers. The on-water landscape quality of large- and small-scale rivers is mainly affected by seven and four factors, respectively. The Karst landform of Guilin is observed to significantly improve the on-water landscape quality of large-scale rivers. By considering the impact mechanism of landscape composition on the aesthetic quality and the different scale rivers, we propose several aesthetic quality improvement strategies based on low-cost methods, including the planting of vegetation and the micro renewal of artificial constructions. This study contributes to the intelligent evaluation of urban on-water landscape and provides reference for on-water route selection and urban planning.
Linking Corporate Social Responsibility, Consumer Identification and Purchasing Intention
Authors: Zhang Qingyu , Ahmad Sohail
Published: October 2022

Apart from the broad oversight of a company’s supply chain practices, more businesses are recognizing the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its influence on societal well-being. In addition to their financial success, ratings are being developed to analyze how well most corporations perform regarding their CSR operations. This grade can then be used to determine the market success of each firm. This study’s objective was to examine the mechanisms of how customers intend to pay premium prices for companies’ CSR activities, i.e., how CSR affects consumer–company identification and purchasing intention. We employed a questionnaire-based study to evaluate our research model generated from the literature. Using PLS-SEM, a quantitative analysis based on responses from major businesses in Pakistan was conducted. The results indicate that CSR is significantly correlated with brand image, consumer–company identification and identity attractiveness, and further leads to higher consumer satisfaction and purchasing intention. This paper contributes to the literature by confirming that consumers in Pakistan intend to buy CSR-conscious products and are willing to sponsor companies’ CSR activities. It implies that investing in CSR may improve a company’s financial performance and competitive advantage. On the other hand, the stability of this association calls for additional testing and empirical investigation.

Today, the world is confronted with the issue of environmental pollution as a result of our dependence on fossil fuels for our energy needs. Developed and developing countries are therefore adopting different strategies to curb environmental problems. This work is thus designed to probe the effect of renewable energy (RE), information and communication technologies (ICT), government stability, and GDP on ecological footprints (EF) in G11 nations. We utilized the annual data from 1990–2020 and applied robust methodologies to present the findings. The CS-ARDL method shows that renewable energy, ICT, and government stability are essential factors in lowering environmental pollution in G11 countries. Therefore, in light of the findings, this work suggests an increase in the use of RE sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower in the total energy mix of the various countries. RE usage improves air quality and saves the natural environment from further destruction. The countries also need to enhance their communication technologies in the economic sector. Moreover, policymakers must also introduce the required policies that would promote the use of RE in various countries. This will make people adopt clean energy sources at the domestic and commercial levels.

Published: October 2022

Background. Adverse health effects due to occupational exposures are a global public health concern and have been studied for many years. Ceramic workers are occupationally exposed to a wide range of toxic substances as they manage clay (silico-aluminous feldspar mixed with sodium, potassium salts and iron oxide). The objective of this study was to assess the presence of any inflammation or alteration of the nasal mucosa of ceramic workers by nasal cytology. Materials and methods. Twenty-eight ceramic workers from Caltagirone (Italy) were enrolled. Nasal symptoms, atopy, health habits and workplace features were assessed by a special questionnaire, and nasal mucosa health was evaluated by nasal cytology. Results. The cytological study of the nasal mucosa revealed the constant presence of abundant, thick and filamentous mucus, as well as a reorganization of the nasal cellularity with a prevalence of muciparous hyperplasia and metaplasia in the study group, and only in a lesser extent for the subjects with some protective environmental measures. Conclusions. The ceramic workers showed chronic inflammatory rhinitis on nasal cytology, with a remodelling of the nasal mucosa and thick mucus. Nasal cytology may be a helpful tool either for the health surveillance of the ceramic workers, or for the screening of any pathology of the upper airways.

Background: Prehabilitation is gaining increasing interest and shows promising effects on short- and long-term outcomes among patients undergoing major surgery. The effect of multimodal, interdisciplinary prehabilitation has not yet been studied in patients with severe heart failure scheduled for the implantation of a left-ventricular assist device (LVAD). Methods: This randomized controlled multi-center study evaluates the effect of preoperative combined optimization of nutritional and functional status. Patients in the intervention group are prescribed daily in-bed cycling and oral nutrition supplements (ONS) from study inclusion until the day before LVAD-implantation. Patients in the control group receive standard of care treatment. The primary outcomes for the pilot study that involves 48 patients are safety (occurrence of adverse events), efficacy (group separation regarding the intake of macronutrients), feasibility of the trial protocol (compliance (percentage of received interventions) and confirmation of recruitment rates. Secondary outcomes include longitudinal measurements of muscle mass, muscle strength, physical function and quality of life, next to traditional clinical outcomes (30-day mortality, hospital and ICU length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation and number of complications and infections). If the pilot study is successful, a larger confirmatory, international multicenter study is warranted.

Authors: Sijbom Martijn , Büchner Frederike L , Saadah Nicholas H , de Boer Mark GJ , Numans Mattijs E
Published: October 2022

Background

Antibiotics are frequently prescribed during viral respiratory infection episodes in primary care. There is limited information about antibiotic prescription during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in primary care and its association with risk factors for an adverse course.

Aim

To compare the proportion of antibiotic prescriptions between patients with COVID-19 and influenza or influenza-like symptoms, and to assess the association between antibiotic prescriptions and risk factors for an adverse course of COVID-19.

Design & setting

An observational cohort study using pseudonymised and coded routine healthcare data extracted from 85 primary care practices in the Netherlands.

Method

Adult patients with influenza and influenza-like symptoms were included from the 2017 influenza season to the 2020 season. Adult patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 were included from the first (15 February 2020–1 August 2020) and second (1 August 2020–1 January 2021) SARS-CoV-2 waves. Proportions of antibiotic prescriptions were calculated for influenza and COVID-19 patients. Odds ratios (ORs) were used to compare the associations of antibiotic prescriptions in COVID-19 patients with risk factors, hospital admission, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and mortality.

Results

The proportion of antibiotic prescriptions during the first SARS-CoV-2 wave was lower than during the 2020 influenza season (9.6% versus 20.7%), difference 11.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 8.7 to 13.5). During the second SARS-CoV-2 wave, antibiotic prescriptions were associated with being aged ≥70 years (OR 2.05; 95% CI = 1.43 to 2.93), the number of comorbidities (OR 1.46; 95% CI = 1.18 to 1.82), and admission to hospital (OR 3.19; 95% CI = 2.02 to 5.03) or ICU (OR 4.64; 95% CI = 2.02 to 10.62).

Conclusion

Antibiotic prescription was less common during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic than during influenza seasons, and was associated with an adverse course and its risk factors. The findings suggest a relatively targeted prescription policy of antibiotics in primary care during COVID-19.

Authors: Alsugeir Dana , Wei Li , Adesuyan Matthew , Cook Sarah , Panay Nicholas , Brauer Ruth
Published: October 2022

Background

Recent studies on the prescribing of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medicines to treat symptoms of menopause are lacking.

Aim

To describe the prescribing of HRT in a cohort of UK menopausal women.

Design & setting

Population-based drug utilisation study using IQVIA Medical Research Database (IMRD-UK).

Method

Primary care data of women with recorded menopause and/or aged ≥50 years between January 2010 and November 2021 were extracted from the database. The incidence rate of women who received their first prescription for HRT was calculated annually using person-years-at-risk (PYAR) as the denominator. Incidence rates of HRT were estimated by type and route of administration. Relative changes in annual incidence rates were expressed as percentages and the average percentage change was assessed using linear regression. Annual prescribing prevalence per 100 women was calculated using mid-year menopausal population estimates.

Results

The incidence rate of prescribing of HRT increased from 5.01 in 2010 to 18.16 per 1000 PYAR in 2021, a relative increase of 13.64% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 6.97 to 20.30) per year. The incidence rate of fixed combinations of HRT increased from 3.33 to 12.23 per 1000 PYAR in 2010 and 2021, respectively. Transdermal formulations of HRT increased from 1.48 to 14.55 per 1000 PYAR in 2010 and 2021, respectively. The overall proportion of women in receipt of a prescription for HRT changed from 7.89% in 2010 to 6.86% in 2020.

Conclusion

This study shows a steady increase in the number of women receiving their first prescription for HRT during the study period, which suggests regained acceptance of HRT medicines.
An Overview of Appetite Regulation Mechanisms
Authors: ŞENER Kübra , ALVER Elif Naz , CEVHER Şule Coşkun
Published: October 2022

Maintaining body weight is momentous in quality of life. Appetite takes an important role in establishing the balance of daily food absorption and spent energy and, accordingly, controlling body weight. There is a complex physiological control regulation in the maintenance of energy balance. The regulation of appetite is carried out by central and peripheral signals. The hypothalamus, brainstem, and reward centers, which are involved in central regulation, provide management of food absorption by integrating signals from the peripheral. Gastrointestinal hormones in the peripheral system regulate the digestion and absorption of nutrients. In the central nervous system, these hormones act as neurotransmitters. The ability to adjust food absorption in response to changes in energy status is an essential component of maintaining energy homeostasis. In cases where energy homeostasis cannot be balanced, it risks human life and causes a decrease in their quality of life. Diseases such as anorexia, which is characterized by low body weight, or obesity, which is characterized by increased body weight, may occur. A full understanding of the mechanism of appetite may offer new treatment opportunities in the elimination of diseases and complications that may develop due to these diseases. In this context, central and peripheral processes in the adjustment of food intake were reviewed in our study.

Published: October 2022

In this study, it was aimed to stabilize the dredged materials with low bearing capacity, brought from Edirne, by using cement and pozzolanic binder mineral additives. In the first stage of the study, the geotechnical properties of the dredging materials were determined. Then, the optimum water contents and maximum dry unit weight values of the soil samples without additives and with different additive ratios were found by compaction tests. Pure and additive unconfined compressive samples were prepared with the optimum water contents obtained in the compaction tests. Samples were prepared by adding 8%, 10% and 12% cement and 2% pozzolanic binder additive by weight to the dredged materials. Unconfined compressive tests were performed on the samples at the end of instant, 1-day, 7-day and 28-day curing periods. In addition, soaked CBR, permeability and flexural tests were performed on 12% cement+pozzolanic added samples. As a result of the experiments, with the addition of cement and pozzolanic binder additives in different ratio to the dredged materials, permeability decreased, unconfined compressive strength, soaked CBR values and flexural strength increased significantly.

Robust Phase Retrieval with Complexity-Guidance for Coherent X-Ray Imaging
Authors: Butola Mansi , Rajora Sunaina , Khare Kedar
Published: October 2022

Reconstruction of a stable and reliable solution from noisy and incomplete Fourier intensity data is a challenging problem for iterative phase retrieval algorithms. The typical methodology employed in the coherent X-ray imaging (CXI) literature involves thousands of iterations of well-known phase retrieval algorithms, e.g., hybrid input-output (HIO) or relaxed averaged alternating reflections (RAAR), that are concluded with a smaller number of error reduction (ER) iterations. Since the single run of this methodology may not provide a reliable solution, hundreds of trial solutions are first obtained by initializing the phase retrieval algorithm with independent random guesses. The resulting trial solutions are then averaged with appropriate phase adjustment, and resolution of the averaged reconstruction is assessed by plotting the phase retrieval transfer function (PRTF). In this work, we examine this commonly used RAAR-ER methodology from the perspective of the complexity parameter introduced by us in recent years. It is observed that the single run of the RAAR-ER algorithm provides a solution with undesirable grainy artifacts that persist to some extent even after averaging the multiple trial solutions. The grainy features are spurious in the sense that they are smaller in size compared to the resolution predicted by the PRTF curve. This inconsistency can be addressed by a novel methodology that we refer to as complexity-guided RAAR (CG-RAAR). The methodology is demonstrated with simulations and experimental data sets from the CXIDB database. In addition to providing consistent solution, CG-RAAR is also observed to require reduced number of independent trials for averaging.

The use of information technology is now so massive, that even reports on community activities have also used information technology. Online forms for reporting are widely used and very easy to create, with complete features. One of the products from Google is Google Forms. Starting from reservation, registration, data collection, reporting, and many activities of sending information and data can be done using this form online. The results of the data have also been presented in full, either in the form of sheets or graphic information, so that the manager or admin does not need to process it again. In the development of information needs, it turns out that the information needs from the google form are not only needed by managers or admins, but some parties need that information in real-time and do not have to log in as managers or admins, so technology is needed to distribute the data and information and processed or presented in a real-time reporting information system. In the google form, several tools have been provided such as Google APIs, Share to Sheet, CSV, etc. to share information with other parties. This study performs modeling in the design of web application architecture using real-time data from google forms based on CSV files and has been tested and produced an application model that can be pasted into other applications so that information from the google form can be conveyed without having to log in to the manager or admin of the google form.

Ojcowie, jakich byśmy nie chcieli… Negatywne postawy rodzicielskie ojców w mazowieckiej bajce ludowej
Authors: Grzywka-Kolago Katarzyna
Published: October 2022

Celem artykułu jest próba rekonstrukcji obrazu ojców w mazowieckiej bajce ludowej ze zbiorów Oskara Kolberga (1814-1890) z uwzględnieniem ich przynależności stanowej i zawodowej oraz funkcji, jaką pełnią w ramach rozwoju akcji bajki. W centrum tekstu stoi więc zarówno pytanie o to, ‘kim są’, ale też ‘co robią’ i tym samym ‘jacy są’ ojcowie bajki mazowieckiej, a zatem jednocześnie o to, jaką ‘postawę rodzicielską’ reprezentują. Analiza pokazuje, że ojcowie są w bajce mazowieckiej głównie postaciami konotowanymi negatywnie, bowiem ich zachowanie względem dziecka nosi nade wszystko znamiona działań szkodliwych, pokazujących egoistyczną koncentrację rodzica bardziej na sobie i własnych korzyściach aniżeli dobru czy pożytku pociechy. Takie aktywności manifestują się w pięciu podstawowych typach zachowań wobec dziecka i odzwierciedlają pięć podstawowych cech charakterystycznych tej grupy ojców bajkowych: obojętność, przemoc, autorytarność, nieumiejętność ochrony dziecka i nadkontrolę.
„Robert Schumann und Clara Wieck gegen Friedrich Wieck, Vater der Mitklägerin”. Zwischen Erwartungen und Liebe – zum Bild der Vater – Tochter Beziehung am Beispiel von Clara Schumann und Friedrich Wieck

Published: October 2022

Clara and Robert Schumann are the most famous nineteenth-century artistic couple. In the background of their life story there is, probably, the most famous dispute in music history: Clara Schumann's father, the ambitious piano teacher Friedrich Wieck, refused Schumann when the latter asked for the hand of his daughter. In the article, the author analyzes the correspondence between Clara and Robert as well as the letters to Clara’s father. They prove of the fight between the two men and illustrate Clara’s sensuality and variety of emotions, as well as present her self-strategy. The aim of this article is to describe the reasons for the conflict, based on their correspondence, court testimonies as well as their social and family background.
"Muž z jamy a deti z lásky". Postava otca w prozaickom diele Vandy Rozenbergovej
Authors: Szabóová Lucia
Published: October 2022

In her literary work Vanda Rozenbergova often uses the motif of generational inversion. In her literary texts adult characters often are not adults, as a result of which children characters have no room to be children. The writer frequently uses reverses roles, especially in the way of portraying children as adults, who bear a certain degree of responsibility for their lives and the lives of their loved ones in their surroundings. It is no different in the novel Man out of Pit, Children out of Love, in which the character of the father is portrayed as an antihero, a weirdo who during the day does nothing but sits in a deep couch pit, from which he plays video games. However, the character of a father trapped in a couch pit is also used as a metaphor for the loneliness that the whole family falls into after the tragic death of the mother.

Using the methodology of cognitive ethnolinguistics, the author focuses on the analysis of metaphorical concepts in which the image of fatherhood and father with various axioms was established. Examining metaphorical concepts, the author works with the Slovak National Corpus. Based on the peculiarities of the acquired concepts, the author was able to define metaphorical groups in which fatherhood acts primarily as an inanimate object and a living being. In this way, this study contributes to the precise meaning identification and definition of the cognitive concept of fatherhood from an ethnolinguistic point of view, and therefore contributes to a more detailed knowledge of the concept and its specifics, present in the Slovak language and in the Slovak cultural symbolism.
Na co dzień i od święta. Obyczaje ludu mazurskiego w opowiadaniach Emilii Sukertowej-Biedrawiny
Authors: Sobieraj Sławomir
Published: October 2022

W artykule przedstawiono analizę tomu prozy Emilii Sukertowej-Biedrawiny Mazurskie dole i niedole. Zwrócono uwagę na jej wartości dokumentalne, które przyczyniły się do utrwalania i popularyzacji kultury mazurskiej wśród polskich czytelników. Wspomniano również o walorach poznawczych opowiadań zasłużonej regionalistki w związku z występowaniem w nich wątków historycznych. Omówiono ponadto formy wypowiedzi, które cechuje synkretyzm gatunkowy, przejawiający się w łączeniu różnych gatunków: opowiadania, reportażu i eseju. W konkluzji stwierdzono, że Sukertowa-Biedrawina jest sprawną warsztatowo pisarką, która potrafi zbudować interesującą fabułę, wplatać w nią retrospektywne wypowiedzi bohaterów oraz uogólniające uwagi narratora. Styl gawędy, co podkreśla stosowana często dialektyzacja, został tu przemieszany ze stylem eseistycznym, szczególnie we fragmentach o walorach popularnonaukowego wykładu z zakresu folkloru i historii.
Czarny humor w prozie Michała Choromańskiego - wybrane przykłady
Authors: Bandzarewicz Barbara
Published: October 2022

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wykazanie związków twórczości Michała Choromańskiego z groteską. Właściwym przedmiotem zainteresowania jest jednak szczególnie jeden rodzaj groteski, a mianowicie komizm/czarny humor, dzięki któremu powieściowa rzeczywistość prozy Choromańskiego w pełni zyskuje groteskowy wymiar. Jeśli przy lekturze prozy autora Zazdrości i medycyny nie uwzględni się rewolucyjnej wrażliwości (której wyznacznikiem był ironiczny, estetyzujący i niejednokrotnie nacechowany okrucieństwem stosunek do unaocznionego w danym utworze cierpienia), pozostanie ona niezrozumiała. Impuls o charakterze antysentymentalistycznym kierował artystę w stronę czarnego humoru, dzięki któremu piętnował nie tylko w przestarzałe konwencje literackie, ale również świat pozorów, zakłamania, sztuczności i hipokryzji.

Authors: Ulasiuk Yuliya
Published: October 2022

This study emphasizes the importance of town marketing management and the key role of self-government bodies in it. The author also points out the specifics of territorial marketing in the management of a town, as well as the problems that Polish local self-governments currently face in building the image and increasing the attractiveness of towns. A survey was conducted among the students of the preparatory courses of the University of Natural Sciences and Humanities of Siedlce, who presented their opinion concerning the university and the town as a potential place for future study, work and residence. The results of the study were analysed statistically and then the conclusions were drawn. The survey shows that the respondents highly appreciate the University, but at the same time, they do not associate their future with the town of Siedlce, arguing that the town is unattractive and unpromising for them. It has been concluded that local self-governments need to use territorial marketing tools to increase the attractiveness of the town and positioning it on the competitive field.
