Hunnic Echo in the Buryat Epic
Authors: Дугаров Б.С.
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматриваются два бурятских сказания — «Нарин хузуун Гулдэмэй» и глава об Аксагалдае из эпопеи «Абай Гэсэр-хубун» — в сравнении с рассказом о воцарении хуннского вождя Модэ (234–174 до н. э.), изложенным столетие спустя китайским хронистом Сыма Цянем в его «Исторических записках». Этот рассказ, по мнению историка-хунноведа Н.Н. Крадина, является по своему происхождению фольклорным произведением, записанным от хуннского сказителя. В результате сопоставительного анализа всех трех вышеназванных нарративов выясняется их смысловое и сюжетное сходство, которое определяется прежде всего мотивом борьбы за власть и престолонаследие. Данный мотив особенно ярко проявляется в относящемся к «воинскому» циклу сказании «Нарин хузуун Гулдэмэй», в котором сохранилось название хуннского титула шаньюй в качестве почетного прозвища одноименного героя. А в сказании об Аксагалдае конфликт старшего дружинника с правителем (Гэсэром) сопряжен с мотивом предательства и стремления к власти, что также находит фигуральное созвучие с легендой о Модэ. В целом основной мотив (борьба за власть) реализуется как тема трех рассмотренных в данной статье эпических сюжетов. Они в совокупности указывают на феномен устной традиции как источник и  хранилище исторической памяти у центральноазиатских кочевников. Что касается бурятских сказаний, то они, бытуя на периферии Великой Степи в условиях горно-таежного Прибайкалья, способствовавших длительной архаизации эпического фольклора, сумели сохранить уникальный отголосок хуннских времен.

This article deals with two Buryat legends — “Narin khuzuun Guldemey” and the chapter about Aksagaldai from the epic “Abay Geser-hubun”— in comparison with the story about the accession of the Xiongnu leader Mode (234–174 BC) told a century later by the Chinese chronicler Sima Qian in his “Historical Notes”. According to the historian N.N. Kradina, this story is originally a work of folklore written down from a Xiongnu storyteller. Comparative analysis of the three narratives reveals their semantic and plot similarity, primarily due to the motif of the struggle for power and succession to the throne. This motif is particularly evident in the “warrior” cycle of “Narin khuzuun Guldemey”, in which the Xiongnu title “shanyu” is preserved as an honorary nickname of the hero of the same name. And in the legend about Aksagaldai, the conflict between the senior combatant and the ruler (Geser) is associated with the motif of betrayal and the desire for power, which also finds figurative consonance with the legend of “Mode”. In general, the main motif of the struggle for power constitutes the theme of the three epic plots considered in this article. Together they point to the oral tradition as a source and repository of historical memory among Central Asian nomads. The fact that the Buryats lived on the periphery of the Great Steppe in the Baikal region contributed to the long-term archaization of epic folklore and the preservation of a unique echo of Xiongnu times.

Published: December 2023

Reaction of the ruthenium carbene complex Cp*(IPr)RuCl (1, IPr = 1,3-bis(Dipp)-imidazol-2-ylidene; Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with sodium phosphaethynolate (NaOCP) led to intramolecular dearomatization of one of the Dipp substituents on the Ru-bound carbene to afford a Ru-bound phosphanorcaradiene. Computations by DFT reveal a transition state characterized by a concerted process whereby CO migrates to the Ru center as the P atom adds to the -system of the aryl group. The phosphanorcaradiene possesses ambiphilic properties and reacts with both nucleophilic and electrophilic substrates, resulting in re-aromatization of the ligand aryl group with net P-atom transfer to give several unusual metal-bound, P-containing main-group moieties. These new complexes include a metallo-1-phospha-3-azaallene (Ru-P=C=NR), a metallo-iminophosphanide (Ru-P=N-R), and a metallo-phosphaformazan (Ru-P(=N-N=CPh2)2). Reaction of 1 with the carbene 2,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene (IMe4) produced the corresponding phosphaalkene DippP=IMe4.

Published: December 2023

Dipeptides stereoisomers and regioisomers composed of norleucine (Nle) and phenylalanine (Phe) self-assemble into hydrogels in physiological conditions that are suitable for cell culture. The supramolecular behavior, however, differs as the packing modes comprise amphipathic layers, or water channels, whose diameter is defined by either four or six dipeptide molecules. A variety of spectroscopy, microscopy, and synchrotron-radiation based techniques unveil fine details of intermolecular interactions that pinpoint the relationship between chemical structure and ability to form supramolecular architectures that define soft biomaterials.

State-of-the-art trends in the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory kidney diseases: Translation of the fundamental science into clinical practice. A review
Authors: Bulanov Nikolay M. , Moiseev Sergey V.
Published: December 2023

Immune-mediated kidney diseases like glomerulonephritis and tubulointerstitial nephritis are not the most common cause of chronic kidney disease in the population, however the difficulties in their management, as well as a more rapid deterioration of kidney function, compared to diabetes mellitus and hypertension, justify the importance of this problem for internal medicine. Due to the fundamental discoveries in pathology and to the introduction of various methods of laboratory and instrumental investigation in the second half of the XX century substantial progress was made in the diagnostic approaches and treatment of these conditions. State-of-the-art diagnostic approach requires complex evaluation of the clinical, laboratory and morphological data to identify the nosological form of the disease. The accumulation of knowledge in the field of diseases’ pathogenesis led to the revision of the current classification of glomerulonephritis that should be based on the immunopathogenesis of these conditions. The following phenotypes were suggested: autoimmunity-related, autoinflammation-related, alloimmunity-related, infections-related, and monoclonal gammopathy-related. The assessment of disease activity and chronicity in the kidney tissue should be mandatory. Personalized selection of the optimal treatment modality on the basis of the diagnosis, severity, and individual features of the patient is currently possible. The leading trends include rational prescription of glucocorticoids (steroid-sparing regimens) and cytotoxic agents, e.g. cyclophosphamide, as well as the introduction of multitarget regimens that include biologic agents or small molecules selectively suppressing B-cells or various complement pathways. Another mandatory component of treatment on par with immune suppression is nephroprotective therapy, which currently comprises not only traditional renin-angiotensin-aldosterone antagonists, but also endothelin receptor antagonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Current guidelines emphasize the importance of the non-pharmacological interventions for the implementation of the nephroprotective strategy. Rational combination of the aforementioned approaches allows for the optimization of the management of patients with immune-mediated kidney diseases, although it requires high competencies and strict adherence to the principles of the evidence-based medicine from the healthcare providers.
Inflammatory bowel diseases: Transformation of representations. A review

Published: December 2023

The global burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is currently significant and continues to grow due to the increasing prevalence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), the increasing costs of diagnosis and treatment, and the high level of disability in patients with this disease. Categories, which leads to the search for risk factors and predictors of aggressive course and extraintestinal manifestations. According to the latest data, the prevalence of UC in Russia is 16.6 per 100 000 population, the annual registered increase is 11.3%; the prevalence of CD is 5.6 per 100 000 population, and the increase is 13.7%. In the Russian population of patients with IBD, the average age of disease onset is 35.3 years for UC and 31.2 years for CD. Moreover, in 89.3% of patients with UC, it took at least 2 years to verify the diagnosis, and in CD, within 2 years from the onset of clinical symptoms, the diagnosis was established in only 72.6% of patients. One of the dominant characteristics of IBD is its multisystem nature, which leads to the development of extraintestinal manifestations (ECM), which can be observed in 50–60% of patients, while up to 25% of patients with IBD have several EMC and the most common variants are joint lesions. A higher frequency of extraintestinal manifestations is observed in CD (up to 45% of patients), in female patients, in smokers and with a longer duration of the disease. To predict clinical remission, the level of fecal calprotectin and CRP, the need for glucocorticosteroids are important, to predict endoscopic remission – the level of fecal calprotectin, and to predict histological remission, an endoscopic Schroeder index value of ≤1 is important. The absolute risk of developing colorectal cancer in IBD remains relatively low, ranging from 1.1 to 5.4% after 20 years of disease. The main risk factors for IBD are total intestinal damage, high inflammatory activity, the stricturing phenotype of CD and the presence of primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Mapping and Analysis of Transport in Baikal-Mongolian Asia
Authors:   V. B. Sochava Institute of Geography SB RAS, Dashpilov Ts. B.
Published: December 2023

The geographical location of the Baikal region has an important strategic role in the socioeconomic development of the country. Transport infrastructure is an integral part of the efficient functioning of all sectors of the economy. Of greater importance to transport is the fact that the main highways of the region are part of the transport corridors between Asia and Europe. Mapping of transport in Baikal-Mongolian Asia is intended to help in researching the problems of optimal economically balanced development of the region. The semantic classification of the cartographic signs of the transport systems of the region was created to streamline the display of all objects, processes, phenomena and interactions of the transport complex. Using this classification, a database of transport indicators of the regions was formed, which were included in the cartographic information system of the Baikal region. On the basis of this database, a transport map of Baikal-Mongolian Asia was created, which covers the Baikal region and the territory of Mongolia within the basin of Lake Baikal. Using the created maps, as well as other literary and statistical sources, an analysis of the transport of Baikal-Mongolian Asia was carried out. This analysis led to the conclusion that the southern most developed and populated areas of the Baikal region and the central part of Mongolia have a developed transport network. The northern regions of the Baikal region and the western part of Mongolia are poorly developed, with a low density of roads. In the future, transport mapping is intended to assist in solving the problems of the socio-economic development of the region.

Authors:   Voronezh State University, Klevtsova M. A. , Sedykh V. A. ,   Voronezh State University
Published: December 2023

To conduct a geoecological assessment of the territory of the Lipetsk city, biogeochemical parameters of woody plants were used. Populus italica (Du Roi) Moench, growing in different ecological conditions, acted as an indicator species. Sampling of poplar bark was carried out at 21 points, including the background one. The laboratory determined the following biogeochemical parameters: acidity, ash content, content of chemical elements. During the summer period 2022– 2023 samples were taken and analyzed. According to the data obtained, the pH of the aqueous extract of the samples varied from 5.05 to 7.74 for different sampling points, the average value being 6.98. We have established a change in the hydrogen index of the Italian poplar bark towards alkalization. The maximum increase in pH was recorded in the area of the cement plant (7.74), as well as on the left bank, where Novolipetsk metallurgical plant production facilities are concentrated. The lowest indicator of acidity of the crust is typical for the recreational zone of park areas – 5.05. The ash content of Italian poplar peel in the territory of Lipetsk varied from 10.42 to 21.44%. We noted the minimum ash content in the Nizhny Park, the maximum parameter was recorded in the immediate vicinity of the Novolipetsk metallurgical plant production sites and in the zone of influence of the cement plant. Determining the amount of chemical elements in the Populus italica bark by the X-ray fluorescence method made it possible to establish a number of regularities. The selected samples have a high level of accumulation for a number of heavy metals. Copper was found at 11 points. In terms of manganese, the highest content was recorded in a sample of Italian poplar bark on the street. Diamond (330 mg/kg). At all points, with the exception of the Nizhniy park, there is an excess of background values. The concentration of zinc in almost all samples is high, more than 80 mg/kg, especially trees in the industrial and transport zone have elevated values of the indicator. The content of iron at all points in the territory of Lipetsk exceeds the background values (1.04 g/kg). The presence and high content of a number of chemical elements in the Italian poplar bark is explained by the fact that in addition to carbon, sulfur, nitrogen oxides, the composition of emissions from blastfurnace, sintering production, ferroalloys includes a large amount of dust containing particles of Fe, Сu, Ti, Zn, Pb, Cr and other heavy metals. A moderate correlation was established between the content of iron-titanium (r±mr=0.48±0.20) and iron-zinc (r±mr=0.47±0.20) in the Italian poplar bark. A high level correlation was recorded between the concentrations of iron and manganese (r±mr=0.80±0.14). Therefore, the use of tree bark to assess environmental pollution is a sensitive method that is used for geoecological monitoring.
Social demand for Healthy Food for pupils in Ukraine: Case of Kharkiv region
Authors: Nikulin Vyacheslav , Kizilov Oleksandr , Yashkina Daria
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the issue of healthy eating in Ukraine, namely the public demand for healthy eating and, as a result, the demand for reforming the nutrition system. The focus of the study is on students, which was done for several reasons: eating habits are formed at school age and become the basis for attitudes towards nutrition in adulthood; students are a social group that is particularly influenced by media marketing technologies and the advertising industry. Marketing in the media mainly promotes fast food and other types of junk food, which contradicts the formation of a healthy lifestyle. The Department of Science and Education of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, together with V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, conducted a survey of 8-11th grade students of general secondary education institutions in Kharkiv region about their diet at school and at home. The online survey of students lasted from March 10 to April 12, 2021. A survey of parents and teachers of students was conducted from April 26 to July 1, 2021. The article analyzes the results of the study of nutrition in schools in Kharkiv region in several areas: sufficiency, accessibility of school meals, habits and attitudes. One of the main conclusions reached by the authors is that there is a demand for healthy food in schools and for improving the school diet. This conclusion raised the following research question: how to meet this demand. However, this issue is a systemic one, and therefore its solution plan should include the interests of all stakeholders. Based on the common areas of the concept of sustainable development and the theory of social cohesion, the authors propose the introduction of innovative living laboratories. Innovation laboratories are aimed at involving consumers in the evaluation of products and services along with other stakeholders. The article was published within the framework of the project "Stimulating Urban Food System Transformation through the Implementation of Innovative Living Laboratories" (FUSILLI) under the grant agreement № 101000717 (HORIZON2020).

Authors: David R. Squires , Sameera Massey , Julie Fomenko , Braydon J. Amidon
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the imperative for efficacious online instructional designs that could function as viable alternatives to conventional, hands-on clinical training for nursing students. This study, conducted at a university in South Texas, employed an online innovation project to simulate clinical experiences. We posited that customized online learning simulations could mitigate cognitive load and augment virtual learners' self-efficacy, thereby influencing associative information processing. Our analyses centered on participants' learning experiences, cognitive load, and the ramifications on their self-efficacy and motivation in a virtual setting. Data indicated that the skills acquired were applicable in real-world clinical settings, and participants reported high levels of instructional support and low frustration levels.
The University System and the Issue of Performance: What Perceptions of Stakeholders? Case of Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University
Authors: Zouheir Boussouf , Hanae Amrani , Ahmed Aftiss
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The aim of this article is to understand the perception of stakeholders of university performance, its determinants, actors and influencing factors.
 
Theoretical Framework: The literature review shed light on the current state of the Moroccan university, namely its issues and challenges, while emphasizing the concept of performance in the complex university environment.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: In the course of this research, we mobilized a qualitative approach based on a single case study, namely the Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University in the city of Fez.
 
Findings: The analysis of stakeholders' perceptions and expectations revealed the existence of several factors influencing the university's performance: the quality of the internal environment and its ability to guarantee the quality of training, the integration of graduates into the job market, scientific production, the search for funding through contracts, research projects, motivation of researchers through the reimbursement of publication costs for their scientific research in indexed journals, and good governance. Taken together, these factors are the main determinants of Moroccan university performance.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The results of our research will be used by neighboring universities to improve their performance. It's not just a question of looking at financial indicators such as the commitment rate to judge whether the university is efficient. We need to go beyond this dimension to touch on others, because as long as its missions and stakeholders are plural, achieving performance remains utopian in terms of its dimensions.
 
Originality/Value: The article's originality lies in its treatment of the notion of performance in a rather complicated environment characterized by the proliferation of its stakeholders, making it difficult to assess in comparison with other establishments. This paper will be of great added value to universities that want to make performance one of their elementary objectives by referring first and foremost to the various factors that help generate university performance.

The image of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness: from Slavophiles to Eurasians
Authors: Semikopov D. V. , Zakhriapin A. A. , Lebedev I. A.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The article examines the peculiarities of the transformation of the historical image of the empire in the national intellectual tradition. The views of such thinkers as M.N. Katkov, F.I. Tyutchev, I.V. Kireevsky, A.S. Khomyakov, Yu.F. Samarin, K.N. Leontiev, P.B. Struve, M.O. Menshikov, P.N. Savitsky, N.S. Trubetskoy and others are analyzed. The typologization and analysis of the key images of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness, namely: European, Byzantine and Eurasian, is presented.

Materials and Methods. The main material of this article is the research of the following authors: L.E. Shaposhnikov, O.V. Parilov, S.N. Pushkin, V.M. Lurie, A.K. Tolstenko, R.R. Vakhitov. The following methods were used in the presented study: system analysis, philosophical analysis, interpretation, comparison and synthesis.

Results. The article examines the evolution of the image of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness, starting from the triad of Count S.S. Uvarov, the ideas of M.N. Katkov and Slavophiles, ending with the Eurasian concepts of P.N. Savitsky and N.S. Trubetskoy. During the development of the idea of empire, three main images of it were formed. The first is the European one, in which the Russian Empire is perceived as one of the European powers claiming their piece of the world pie. This image quite logically changes from the absolutist-autocratic to the liberal-national. The second image is Slavophile. Being absolutely monarchical, he regards Russia, headed by an Orthodox emperor, as the heiress of Byzantium, endowed with a special messianic status. The third image is Eurasian (P.N. Savitsky, N.S. Trubetskoy). It represents the image of a "reassembled" empire that underwent profound changes as a result of the revolution. The Eurasians are moving away from the image of the universal empire to the image of a self-sufficient "mainland state" preserving its original civilization based on Orthodoxy. At the same time, they actively use the Slavophile category of conciliarity, transferring it from the sphere of theology to national and cultural policy. The Eurasians proclaim the fundamental equality of national cultures and their unity in cathedral Russia.

Discussion and Conclusions. The authors of the study managed to conduct a systematic and full-fledged historical and philosophical analysis of the evolution of the image of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness, from Slavophiles to Eurasians. The authors managed to carry out a comprehensive and systematic historical and philosophical analysis of the three main images of the empire of the European, Byzantine and Eurasian.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. In accordance with the need to develop students’ ability and readiness for continuous self-education and self-development throughout their lives, the importance of students’ independent work increases significantly. In the context of the digital transformation of education, one of the main forms of independent work should be joint network activities of students, during which network educational communities are formed. The purpose of the article is to consider the possibilities of organizing joint network activities of future technology teachers as part of independent work in disciplines, practices, as well as in extracurricular activities; analyze the didactic potential of the online educational communities of students that are being formed.

Materials and Methods. When writing the article, methods of analysis of domestic and foreign literature, comparative analysis, generalization and systematization, and pedagogical experiment were used.

Results. Today, when improving the qualifications of teaching staff, the model of “horizontal training”, when training is carried out within professional communities, is quite actively used. This model can also be effective for communities of future teachers. Digital tools for organizing joint network activities within disciplines and practices are presented when organizing independent work for students at Minin University. Special attention is paid to the organization of joint network activities within the framework of the communicative and digital module of the Core of Higher Pedagogical Education. The greatest effect from joint network activities of future teachers can be obtained through project activities. Examples of network projects of teachers and students of Minin University are given, within the framework of which project and network communities are formed.

Discussion and Conclusions. Properly organized independent work in the digital educational environment of the university, the use of modern digital tools for this significantly improves the quality of professional training of specialists. Joint network activities make it possible to organize mutual learning within the emerging educational student community. At the same time, conditions are created for the formation of team building skills, universal and professional competencies, ICT competence of future technology teachers, self-assessment and mutual assessment skills.

The results of joint application of the biopreparation Sternifag, SP based on the fungus Trichoderma harzianum and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN-32) on spring wheat cultivated using the No-till technology in the northern forest-steppe of the Priobie region are presented. This zone is characterized by a short growing season and a mean annual moisture coefficient of 1.04–1.08. Under such conditions, No-till, or direct seeding, technology can minimize the cost of grain production. When growing crops according to this technology in the conditions of the northern forest-steppe, the sowing dates are postponed, which actualizes the use of biopreparation to accelerate the mineralization of straw residues. In production and stationary experiments on leached chernozem, the joint application of Sternifag and nitrogen fertilizer in autumn of the previous year activated decomposition of plant residues on second wheat by 33.0–49.0%. Application of the biopreparation together with UAN-32 allowed to obtain in the years of research additional 1 ha 1.5 and 0.96 tons of spring wheat grain (43.7–44.4%) due to an increase in the weight of 1000 grains, ear fineness and better preservation of plants for harvesting. Application of biopreparation Sternifag and UAN-32 on spring wheat grown on the basis of No-till technology in the northern forest-steppe of Priobie is economically beneficial. It is accompanied by an increase in profit by 2.0–2.4 times and an increase in the level of profitability of grain production by 27.0–36.0%. Effectiveness of cultivation of the crop on the background of liquid nitrogen fertilizer UAN-32 is lower. In this variant, grain productivity of spring wheat relative to the control increased in 2018, characterized by high humidity, by 1.1 t/ha, in 2020, characterized by June drought, by 0.74 t/ha. The level of profitability of grain production at application of UAN-32 is higher than in the control by 15.0–17.2%.

The results of analysis of specific activity and multiple forms of oxidoreductase class enzymes are presented: antioxidant complex (catalase and peroxidase) and dehydrogenases (alcohol dehydrogenase, NAD+-malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). Seven varieties of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) served as the object of the study. Dormant seeds and 3- and 7-day-old soybean seedlings were used for the analysis. Protein content was determined by the Lowry method, peroxidase activity was determined by colorimetric, catalase and the studied dehydrogenases – by spectrophotometric methods, electrophoretic spectra of enzymes – by electrophoresis on 7.5% polyacrylamide gel columns. Identification of the zones with enzymatic activity on the gel was performed by appropriate histochemical methods. Analysis of specific activity of antioxidant enzymes in dormant soybean seeds revealed increased activity of peroxidase and low activity of catalase. During seed germination, the inverse relationship of the specific activity of these enzymes is observed. On the 7th day the specific activity of catalase increases, that of peroxidase decreases to a minimum. In soybean germination, 5 forms of catalase were detected, indicating low polymorphism and stability of the enzyme, and 18 forms of peroxidase, which confirm high polymorphism and the possibility of using this enzyme as a marker of biochemical processes. Alcohol dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were found to be of low heterogeneity, with the specific activity of these enzymes decreasing during germination compared to the dormant period of soybean seeds. The specific activity of NAD+-malate dehydrogenase increases slightly during germination. Eight forms of this enzyme were detected in the soybean varieties studied indicating increased polymorphism. In dormant soybean seeds, the electrophoretic spectra of NAD+-malate dehydrogenase exhibited varietal diversity allowing the enzyme to be used as a marker for further studies.
International Variables: Translation Problems for the Localization of Web Apps

In localization, international variables refer to source cultural elements that require a certain degree of adaptation in a target culture, such as date, time and number formats, currencies, colours, images, humour elements, etc. Although localization involves the adaptation of a digital product to a specific market, certain aspects of localization projects (i.e., source file formats, translation tools or project specifications) could become an obstacle to achieving that ultimate goal of localization, even giving rise to errors or culturally inappropriate translations. This qualitative, interpretative study analyses a corpus compiled from the online help pages of web applications to identify and describe potential translation problems caused by international variables.

The presence of English as a global language in the lexicon of the languages of Europe is undeniable, Spanish being no exception to this general trend. The increasing impact of English on the European Spanish word-stock is evidenced by semantic and lexical borrowings. The aim of the present article is to study such semantic and lexical borrowings from English into European Spanish. In order to carry out the research, examples were retrieved from the sub-corpora of tourism and fashion, both part of the ANGLICOR corpus and its associated database. Following identification, the examples were analyzed qualitatively following Gómez Capuz’s classification (2004). The results of this analysis reveal, on the one hand, the fact that semantic borrowings may belong to the category of adjectives as well as the category of nouns. In the case of lexical borrowings, on the other hand, only nouns or noun groups, following various patterns, were recorded.
Contrastive Study of Lexical Profiles of International and U.S. Lectures Delivered in English

Published: December 2023

International academic contexts where English is used as a lingua franca (ELF) have become ubiquitous. ELF lectures have been studied from a number of perspectives, but they have not been lexically profiled. We depart from the assumption that the lexical profile of academic lectures delivered in international settings may differ from that of lectures delivered in Anglophone contexts, and that these differences have pedagogical implications for the teaching and learning of academic English from an ELF-perspective. We lexically profile a corpus of fifty university lectures delivered in English in five European countries and compare them against sixty-two lectures delivered in English in the U.S. We find that 3,000 words are needed for good listening comprehension in both sets of lectures, while ideal comprehension is reached at 11,000 words for international and 7,000 words for U.S. lectures, which suggests differences between the two in terms of variation in low-frequency vocabulary. Some function words are much more frequent in international than in U.S. lectures. International lectures also feature less high-frequency and more mid-frequency academic vocabulary than U.S. lectures. These differences mostly reflect the use of ELF-specific communicative strategies in international lectures. Focusing on them and potentially making academic ELF-specific word lists may ensure the more efficient teaching of academic English from an ELF-perspective.

To ensure the global communication and visibility of their investigations, international research projects leverage online settings and endorse specific digital academic practices. Twitter as a Social Medium for Research Purposes has become an effective outlet to widely disseminate their project development, knowledge production and research findings. To meet these aims, research groups display pragmatic strategies responding to three overarching communicative intentions –informative, interactional and promotional– as well as metadiscursive markers to establish links through their texts with the audience. This paper analyses these practices by looking into the metadiscoursal realisations of a taxonomy of twenty-seven data-driven pragmatic strategies in ten Horizon2020 research project Twitter accounts. First, we revisit metadiscursive adjustments for the digital environment of Twitter. Then, we identify salient metadiscourse features instantatiating the pragmatic strategies using NVivo. In general, interactional metadiscursive features predominate over interactive ones, being attitude markers, self-mentions and directives characteristic markers in informative, promotional and interactional strategies, respectively. Moreover, some metadiscourse categories are found to rely on non-verbal markers for their realisation. The analysis expands the understanding of complex digital discursive practices developed by researchers to disseminate their results, account for their funding, make themselves visible and engage multiple audiences.
