The Study of Falak Science in the Qur’an: Analytical Study of Tafsir Al-Misbah
Authors: Anzaikhan M. , Roni Muhammad
Published: January 2022

The falak science is a discipline of practical astronomy which is more inclined to the relationship between the movement of celestial bodies and the practice of muslim worship. The movement of celestial bodies is often used as an indicator in the implementation of certain worship rituals. The five daily prayers are concerned with the rotation of the earth which causes day and night. The earth and moon revolutions led to the Syamsiah and Qomariah calendars to find out the schedule for the Hajj. The shape of the earth that is round and the sun's light at a certain time can be an indication of the Qibla direction. The definition of falak as the movement of celestial bodies as described above is interesting to study in the Qur’an. This study used a content analysis method of the Qur’an with interpretation media of Tafsir Al-Misbah. There were three concluding phases of this study; First, textual identification of falak verses were found in three words, namely al-falak, al-falaq, and al-fulk. Al-falak means the path of the earth, al-falaq means a cleaver, and al-fulk means ark (sailing ship). Al-Falaq which means the movement of celestial bodies has significance with the theory of nature's qadim. Scientifically, astronomy can prove scientifically that nature predates time

Rancang Bangun Alat Pendeteksi NOx dan CO Berbasis Mikrokontroler ESP32 dengan Notifikasi Via Telegram dan Suara
Authors: Asmazori Mutiara
Published: January 2022

The design of NOx and CO detectors based on notifications via telegram and voice has been carried out. This detector consists of a gas sensor MQ-135 as a nitrogen oxide detector and an MQ-7 sensor as a carbon monoxide detector. Data processing is carried out using an ESP32 microcontroller which can send results to a telegram bot and play sound using speakers connected to the ISD 1820 sound module. The tool made can send notifications if the concentration of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide exceeds 50 ppm. The test is carried out by burning waste to produce smoke. Burning smoke contains various gases and particles that are harmful to the body. The characterization of the MQ-135 sensor was carried out by comparing the data obtained from the ISPU to measure nitrogen oxide gas and producing an error value of 9.09%. Meanwhile, the characterization of the MQ-7 sensor was carried out using a biogas analyzer and resulted in an error ratio of 3.26%. These results prove that the tools that have been designed can work well.
Conflict zones and non-physical risks to journalism practice. Notes from Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Giotis Chrisanthi
Published: January 2022

En. 

Conflict zones around the world are accompanied by spaces designed to service the internationals whose careers intersect with conflict – profes- sionals such as foreign correspondents. These increasingly entrenched and segregated internationalised zones – alternatively described as aidlands (Mosse 2011a) or peacelands (Autesserre 2014) have been the subject of recent critique in postcolonial, development and international relations literature for fostering limited and flawed types of knowledges of the countries and conflicts in which they exist. This paper argues the urgent need to take account of these critiques given that foreign correspondents use of these same aid/peace lands while on reporting assignments constitutes ‘embedding’ in the humanitarian and international development field. A series of potential risks arising from this embedding are detailed with risks defined here as non-physical challenges to quality, ethical, interna- tional reportage. The research is practice-led drawing on auto-ethnography and interviews conducted in Goma, DRC as well as inter-disciplinary literature. Bourdieu’s concepts of doxa and, from social geography, the idea of social practices as regulated by the way we conceive of space and time, will be used to highlight the importance of engaging with these risks right now given the current state of flux in international reporting. This flux makes the profession vulnerable to the uncritical adoption of practices designed for, and set by, the powerful humanitarian and development fields.
Stent infection and pseudoaneurysm formation after carotid artery stent treated by excision and in situ reconstruction with polytetrafluoroethylene graft: A case report
Authors: Nishizawa Naoki , Ozaki Tomohiko , Kidani Tomoki , Nakajima Shin , Kanemura Yonehiro , Nishimoto Keisuke , Yamazaki Hiroki , Mori Kiyoshi , Fujinaka Toshiyuki
Published: January 2022

Background:

Stent infection after carotid artery stenting (CAS) can be a life-threatening postoperative complication, but there is a paucity of data due to its exceedingly low frequency. We report a case of stent infection with pseudoaneurysm formation after CAS that was treated through replacing the infected stent and pseudoaneurysm with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) synthetic vessel graft.

Case Description:

An 86-year-old man was treated for the right internal carotid artery with CAS in local hospital. One month after stenting, he suffered aspiration pneumonia and septicemia. Three months after stenting, swelling and tenderness of the right side of his neck appeared. His general condition deteriorated due to septicemia and he was unable to ingest anything by mouth as a result of decreasing levels of consciousness. He was transferred to our hospital. Computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography showed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm around the stent. The neck mass enlarged daily and surgical intervention was required to prevent closure of the airway. Stent and pseudoaneurysm resection and in situ reconstruction with a PTFE synthetic vessel graft were performed. The patient returned to his local hospital 36 days after surgery and had a modified Rankin Score of 5.

Conclusion:

Although the risk of reinfection is high due to the nature of artificial material, stent/pseudoaneurysm resection and in situ reconstruction with a PTFE synthetic vessel graft might be one of the best options for patients suffering stent infection after CAS. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of treatment using this material.
Spontaneous cervicothoracic epidural misinterpreted as transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Authors: Bhardwaj Sandeep , Chaurasiya Manish , Shah Sunit
Published: January 2022

Background:

The acute onset of a spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is an uncommon cause of spinal cord compression. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to avoid significant residual postoperative neurological deficits.

Case Description:

A 15-year-old male presented with the sudden onset of a hemiparesis which recovered (4/5 weakness). The brain MR was negative, but spinal MRI revealed a dorsolateral extradural lesion extending from C7 to D1. At surgery, this proved to be a hematoma that we readily removed.

Conclusion:

Spontaneous epidural hematomas are rare. They should be diagnosed promptly with MR, and typically warrant urgent/emergent surgical excision. Further, cases of SSEH resulting in hemiparesis may occasionally be misdiagnosed as attributed to a stroke or transient ischemic attack.
SPECIFICS OF OLD ENGLISH SYNTAX AS THE BASIS FOR GRAMMATICALIZATION OF FOCUSING ADVERBS
Authors: Andrushenko Olena
Published: January 2022

The article deals with the preconditions of focusing adverbs grammaticalization in Old English, which function as one of the markers of sentence information structure in Modern English. With major strategies of highlighting the components of information structure in the language of VII-XI cen. being analyzed, the study found that the order of arranging the elements in the sentence was, namely, most sensitive to old/new information allotment, as well as, sentence topic and focus marking, which explains the word order variations in the clause. Adverbs as a class in this period were represented by temporal, VP- and sentential ones. All these types have relevance for the current study given that they may serve as one of the sources of grammaticalization for focusing adverbs in further periods of the English language development. The other source for the highlighted adverbs formation were adverbial suffixes -ly or -e added to adjectives, nouns and verbs. It was proved that the major adverbial discourse markers in Old English are temporal adverbs þa/thonne, her and nu. Therefore, this class presumably served the basis for the formation of new focusing adverbs at further stages of the language evolution.

Authors: Dobosh Oksana , Saban Olesia
Published: January 2022

The article deals with the analysis of concepts of natural phenomena which are employed to verbalize the concept of Brexit from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. The research is performed using different approaches: from etymological origin to functional dynamics. For this purpose the archetypal symbols of Light and Darkness are chosen. The study is based on the online resources of modern English language media, covering the issues related to politics and economy. Correspondingly, the aspects of the concept of Brexit which are illustrated through the prism of archetypal symbols and are consequentially analyzed scrutinize the consequences of the Brexit transition period. As a matter of fact, the archetypal symbols of Light and Darkness are referred to so as to determine the characteristic features of the emotional, epistemological, ethical, religious and ontological aspects of the withdrawal of Great Britain from the European Union. The ensuing issues of this complicated process are also elucidated. Their etymological specificity and semantic functions are analyzed along with the description of their distinguishing characteristics. It has been established that the archetypal symbols under consideration are not mutually exclusive, but on the contrary are closely intertwined and complementary, thus giving a more vivid, complete and understandable description of multiple aspects of Brexit.

Authors: Matiiash-Hnediuk Iryna , Lysak Kseniia
Published: January 2022

The aim of the article is to study the metaphorization peculiarities of the concept FAMILY in the British publicistic discourse of the XVIII – XXI centuries. The question of a language segmenting, categorizing the surrounding reality and the experience of its speakers, which has always been in the center of attention of scholars is raised. The importance of lexical nomination as a means of fixing the changes that occur continuously and are understood by humans in their social practice is highlighted. The focus of the study is to trace the process of forming an image of ​​the world of English speakers using publicistic material in diachrony over the past four centuries and to identify the specifics of conceptualization and categorization of this segment of reality. The modifications of the imaginative-evaluative constituent, the loss of the existing and the acquirement of new meanings and their shades are bound with both the language development and with the extralinguistic factors such as the development of the community, social, political and historical events. Printed mass media have always been an important and influential part of social life. They take part in the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions as people receive knowledge about the world indirectly through mass media. These facts contribute to the analysis of a lingvocultural element of words both synchronically and diachronically. Comparing newspapers texts it becomes possible to highlight similarities and differences in the interpretation of the notion expressed by some lexeme. Moreover, the analysis of articles indicates social understanding of the notion. Since newspapers are affordable and available for all members of the society, they are the representatives of live language which unites knowledge and experience.
THE RETROSPECTIVE OF THE PHONOSEMANTISM FORMATION AND PHONOSEMANTIC REALITIES IN ENGLISH
Authors: Savchuk Tetiana
Published: January 2022

The scientific search for phonosemantic realities, carried out in modern promising areas of linguistic research, contributes to the determination of language cognitive capabilities. In the study of language, linguists actively use new principles, which require integration from different sciences to understand language carrier and diverse aspects of the human thinking process, to extensively analyse a wide range of language functions, and to profoundly explain linguistic phenomena. Phonosemantics is now a certain linguistic branch of psycholinguistics, which has gone through several stages of its formation. In practice, its foundation and principles have become the cornerstone of linguistic reasoned searches for the connection between sound and meaning in a multi-genre discourse. There are two approaches to the study of phonosemantism. Researchers' experiments confirm the existence of primary or elementary phonosemantism, showing the dependence of symbolic meaning on the acoustic-articulatory characteristics of sound. Secondary sound-symbolism arises as a result of the speaker's desire to reveal the correlation between the sonority of a word, develops in accordance with the phonetic laws of a particular language and its meaning. Both points of view need to be analyzed only in conjunction, since secondary, or contextually, phonosymbolism is possible due to the existence of the so-called primary, or elementary phonosymbolism. This phenomenon is due to the ability of the human brain to establish an associative relationship between sound and meaning, between objectivity and polymodality of human perception. Experiments have shown that the subject image is polymodal. The polymodal nature of object perception, in turn, presupposes the emergence of auditory images based on the action of only visual stimuli, and vice versa: visual images are born on the basis of auditory stimuli. The results of this study are well-argued evidence of the constancy of the associative meanings of the phonemes of the modern English language.

Published: January 2022

The rapid spread of Internet communication nowadays has changed the conditions under which political communication takes place, although its purpose remains the same – influence for the sake of power. The article analyzes and summarizes the directions and trends in the study of political discourse, which is the context of political utterance, utterance itself and its perception. It is noted that the Internet has proved to be a new effective way of informing, persuading, arguing and manipulating the mass consciousness, accelerating the process of providing information and changing its format, including for manipulative purposes. It is revealed that the Internet has formed new genres and forms of political communication, providing an opportunity to get feedback from the political message and creating the appearance of direct communication between politicians and the public. The study of political discourse by researchers today is multi-vector: in a purely linguistic direction (the language of political statements); in linguistic and pragmatic direction (how the functions of political discourse are realized); anthropocentric (political personality); sociolinguistic (society’s reaction to the political activities of the subjects) and others. As the field of politics is constantly changing, responding to global, socio-political, economic circumstances, its analysis, including by linguists, provides and will always provide new material for further research.

Published: January 2022

The current situation in the world involves changes and corrections to the existing rules for studying. The transition to online lessons has formed a complex configuration: on the one hand – the technical side with many opportunities, on the other hand – tactics and learning strategies that need to be adjusted and synchronized according to the requirements and capabilities of online learning systems, platforms and programs. The objectives of the article do not include the description and comparison of such virtual learning platforms as, for example, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, but it is impossible not to mention them, because such platforms are modern tools for online learning and need to be used. The article highlights various nuances of teaching methods. In the real audience, the learning process is somewhat different, other systems are involved in communication, in the understanding between students and teachers, in control. I would like to emphasize that we are talking about teaching Ukrainian to foreign students of the preparatory department, about groups where there are students of different nationalities, religions, ages, basic training, as well as different temperaments, interests, life circumstances, and often such groups have no common intermediary languages. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on psychological, psycholinguistic, neurophysiological factors and taking its into account, it is possible to improve the speech, communicative, cognitive competence of students, increase the quality of learning. As for online learning, competencies develop very heterogeneously, depending on the physiological characteristics of the mind and memory, as well as on how honestly and responsibly students perform an independent part of the work. Understanding, working out and mastering different blocks of material takes more time, so it is important to rely on the conclusions of psychologists. Here the teacher's observation of the peculiarities of students' perception and timely influence on various factors, for example, on the motivation to study the material, curiosity, plays an important role. To improve the results in the development of the educational complex, the use of mnemonic techniques and technologies is suggested.

Published: January 2022

Interactive aspects of communication include the following categories embodied in the metacommunicative elements of discourse, one of which is speech mode. The article focuses on pattern identification of communicative effect on the recipient by varying serious and humorous modes of the speech. The attention is paid to the identification of the initial strategies of communicative effect in both serious and humorous mode of English ideative speech. Communicative mode is an emotionally-stylistic communication format that occurs during the interaction between communicants and determines their changing attitudes and the choice of all means of communication. Serious mode orients the subjects of discourse to perceive communicative action as the one corresponding to norms. Humorous mode orients the subjects of discourse to perceive communicative action as the one inconsistent with norms. The paper gives results of inferential analysis of responsive actions on how successful the ideators’ speeches are according to the recipients’ instant and delayed responsive actions. The evaluation of communicative success has been conducted with the help of inferencial analysis of verbal and non-verbal actions of the audience taking into account instant and delayed responsive actions, in particular total number of the recording views, average monthly number of views; laughter, applause, cheers, murmur.

Authors: Karazeybek Ebru , Şenol Çelik Sevilay , Erbasan Ozan
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: A surgical site infection (SSI) reduces patient quality of life, increases morbidity and mortality rates, and increases health care costs. Results of studies comparing the effects of preoperative skin preparations are contradictory. PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the effect of different preoperative skin preparation methods on the rate of SSIs in patients undergoing sternotomy. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 96 male patients undergoing sternotomy. The control group (CG) (n = 34) received routine care consisting of shaving body hair with a razor blade followed by instructions to take a bath or shower. In the intervention groups, patients received education about SSI prevention and body hair was removed with an electric clipper, followed by bathing with daphne soap containing olive oil (IG-1) (n = 31) or 2% chlorhexidine solution (IG-2) (n = 31). Patient demographic, medical history, surgical, and wound assessment variables were obtained. Potential SSI signs and symptoms were assessed for up to 90 days following surgery. RESULTS: Patient demographic, medical history, and surgical variables did not differ among the 3 groups. Sternal SSI occurred in 10.4% of all study patients; 8.8% of the CG patients, 12.9% of the IG-1 patients, and 9.7% of the IG-2 patients developed an SSI (P > .05). CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the rate of sternotomy SSI among the 3 groups. Randomized controlled trials with large samples are needed to compare these methods to determine optimal and affordable preoperative skin preparation methods.
Kierunki badań nad narodowo-kulturową swoistością białoruskich przysłów (koniec XIX–początek XXI wieku): metodologia, problemy, perspektywy (część 1)
Authors: Petrushevskaia Julia
Published: January 2022

W artykule określono główne kierunki badań narodowo-kulturowej swoistości przysłów w języku białoruskim w okresie od końca XIX do początku XXI wieku. Lingwokulturowe badania białoruskich przysłów są nieliczne i często nie są oddzielane od analizy narodowego obrazu świata w białoruskich frazeologizmach. Lingwokrajoznawczy opis specyfiki narodowo-kulturowej przysłów białoruskich opiera się na wynikach badań etymologicznych, etnolingwistycznych i językowo-kulturowych, dlatego automatycznie przejmuje wszelkie ich niedoskonałości. Wszystkie rozpatrzone badania są realizowane na materiale przysłowiowym o różnej objętości i właściwościach jakościowych, mają różny stopień reprezentatywności i charakteryzują się różną skutecznością. Niemniej jednak treść istniejących wieloaspektowych badań białoruskich przysłów pozwala na opracowanie metodologii określania narodowo-kulturowej specyfiki przysłowiowego zasobu języka białoruskiego. Rozważono najnowsze próby i perspektywy opisu językowo-kulturowej oryginalności białoruskich przysłów.

Дейктические элементы со значением времени в языке и тексте
Authors: Grushina Natalia
Published: January 2022

Время – абстрактная категория, тесно связанная с человеком. Восприятие времени может варьироваться в зависимости от языковой, социальной и культурной среды. Вот почему так важно уделять особое внимание разнообразию представлений времени при изучении иностранного языка. В статье мы исследуем дейктические элементы со значением времени в дискурсе российских художественно- -публицистических журналов. Материалом исследования послужили тексты, опубликованные в журналах «Новый мир» на рубеже XX–XXI веков. В рамках когнитивного подхода текст рассматривается как дискурс, а время как один из ключевых концептов, организующих этот дискурс. По мере развертывания дискурса образуется несколько дейксисных центров, а в качестве вторичных дейктических элементов начинают выступать слова, не имеющие темпоральной семы в значении. Результаты настоящего исследования могут быть использованы в практике преподавания русского языка как иностранного, в частности, при обучении чтению на продвинутом этапе изучения русского языка как иностранного, а такжев курсах по переводу или исторической интерпретации текста.
Образы национальных характеров и юмористические персонажи балканских народов Южной Славии сквозь призму их стереотипного отображения в современных анекдотах
Authors: Savchenko Alexandr , Khmelevskiy Mikhail
Published: January 2022

Предлагаемая статья посвящена рассмотрению одной из малых форм фольклора – анекдоту и более конкретно – этноанекдоту как способу отражения национальной специфики, национального колорита, форме выражения наиболее характерных особенностей менталитета и образа жизни определенного народа, нации, социальной группы. На примере текстов наиболее типичных и распространенных на славянских Балканах текстов анекдотов представлены наиболее типичные, характерные для представителей т.н. «сербохорватского языкового континуума» национально-специфические качества, отражаемые в подобных этноанекдотах, еще одной особенностью которых является то, что нередко национальные (авто)стереотипы объединены в собирательном образе (образах) – герое (или героях), наиболее ярко и во всей совокупности аккумулирующих и представляющих основные стереотипы, характерные для данной нации. Выводится заключение о том, что этноанекдоты, как особая тематическая разновидность анекдота, помимо прочего, содержат важную экстралингвистическую информацию и способны стать объективным источником для этнолингвистической и культурологической характеристики определенной страны и населяющих ее жителей.
O pewnym sposobie użycia form deminutywnych w języku rosyjskim XVII – początku XVIII wieku
Authors: Iacovou Anna
Published: January 2022

Artykuł poświęcony jest omówieniu sufiksalnych apelatywnych rzeczowników deminutywnych nazywających osoby, występujących w formułach etykietalnych rosyjskiej korespondencji prywatnej pochodzącej z okresu od XVII do początku XVIII wieku. Zaprezentowana została definicja zdrobnień, przy czym szczególną uwagę zwrócono na modyfikację znaczenia derywatów przez wyodrębniane w ich strukturze sufiksy. Deminutiva, pozbawione często znaczenia małości, wyróżniają się odcieniem ekspresyjności przy jednoczesnym posiadaniu znaczenia pieszczotliwego bądź pogardliwego. Nazwy hipokorystyczne z zasady określały odbiorcę i członków jego rodziny, a pogardliwe – samego nadawcę i jego bliskich. Formalnymi wykładnikami rzeczowników deminutywnych były przede wszystkim przyrostki -ка/-ко, -ок/-ек, -ишка/-ишко, -ушка/-ушко, -ошка, -онка, -ец, -ица. Wyjątkowo interesująco przedstawia się historia rodzaju derywatów z sufiksem -ишк-.

Published: January 2022

Rainfall variability and agricultural sustainability have been of major concern to the Climatologists, Agriculturists and farmers in general. The net potential effect of severe changes in rainfall pattern is the disruption in crop production leading to food insecurity, joblessness and poverty. As a major concern to increase food production, this study seeks to assess the rainfall variability in Owerri City with a view to enhancing agricultural sustainability. The study used rainfall data (1981-2018) from Nigerian Meteorological Agency. Correlation and Regression techniques were employed for analysis. The result shows that there is no significant relationship between the number of rainy days and annual amount of rainfall. Also, there is no significant relationship between the length of rainy season and number of rainy days in the study area. The study also shows four years forecast of rainfall in the study area. The result shows an evidence and upsurge of low agricultural produce, food insecurity and hunger in the nearest future, and therefore recommends some sustainable agricultural practices that can boost yield, good health and healthy environment and reduce the effect of climate change.
