SYNTACTIC MEANS OF LANGUAGE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FUNCTION OF INFLUENCING THE ADDRESSEE
Authors: Zelinska O.
Published: August 2023

Persuasion is of great importance in the implementation of linguistic influence; using linguistic means of different levels, the addresser seeks to change the addressee’s mental state, forces them to agree with the speaker’s opinion and change life attitudes, principles, views, and way of behaving. Among the variety of means of influence, the syntactic resources of the Ukrainian language play an important role.
The article analyzes the peculiarities of the syntactic means in the implementation of the function of influencing the addressee based on the material of preaching works.
The article marks  interrogative sentences performing the function of influence. At the beginning of the sermon, they performed the role of an introduction, set the listeners to perceive the content, the preacher engaged the listeners in direct interaction with him with the help of questions.
Syntactic structures with the meaning of motivation were the means of linguistic realization of will expression. Priests gave admonitions mostly by predicates, expressed by verbs of the imperative mood in the plural form. The plural form was at the same time a linguistic means of implementation the tactics of solidarity with the addressee.
With the help of syntactic structures with a compound nominal predicate, the tactics of explanation were implemented. Usually in this case statements were framed as definitions; with their help the essence of theological and other important concepts discussed in the sermon was explained.
An obligatory component of the sermon text was the wish to the believers; they were usually expressed in the final part of the speech. Wishes using forms of the imperative mood with the particles "khai", "nekhai" (let) expressed a high degree of confidence in its implementation, and repetitions and amplifications brought them closer to suggestive types of linguistic influence. A structural element determining the sermon was a prayer appeal to the higher forces with a request to preserve, protect and turn away from all evil. Appealing to the higher forces with the help of requests helped to create the effect of their constant presence among believers, which, accordingly, strengthened their faith.
Syntactic resources of the language were used to give expressiveness to the speech; anaphora and other types of repetition most productively realized this goal.
Results of the analysis proved that the syntactic resources of the language were a powerful tool for influencing the addressee and implementing the speaker’s intentions.
TRACES OF UKRAINIAN/RUTHENIAN LANGUAGE INFLUENCES IN HISTORICAL ANTHROPONYMY OF LWÓW/LVIV ARMENIANS (FROM 17TH AND THE 18TH CENTURIES)
Authors: Trzeciak L.
Published: August 2023

The main topic of this article are traces of Ukrainian/Ruthenian language influences in historical anthroponymy of Lwów/Lviv Armenians. The research material was excerpted from parish registers of the Armenian Cathedral of Lwów from 1635 to 1732.
Lwów/Lviv was one of the most important centres of the Armenian diaspora (with most inhabitants on the Polish South-Eastern Borderlands). The first Armenians appeared in Lwów in the 14th century; from the 16th to the 18th century a new Armenian wave of migrants arrived.
The first medieval immigrants spoke Kipczak (Armeno-Kipczak), but wrote is using the Armenian alphabet; later, immigrants spoke Armenian (Western Armenian). Armenians were gradually Slavicized (mainly Polonized).
The analysis of the collected material showed that the antroponymic system of the Armenians residing in Lwów/Lviv contains features Ukrainian (Ruthenian) anthroponymy too. Ukrainian influences were also noted in terms of phonetics and morphology (suffixation).
The variety of first names in the documents studied covers 17 male names (20 together with the names morphologically derived from the personal name) and 8 female names (10 together with the names morphologically derived from the personal name).
Ukrainian names of Lwów/Lviv Armenians were predominantly Christian tradition, e.g.: male – Andrij (Андрій); Hryhor(ij) (Григор(ій); Serhij (Сергій); female – Kateryna/Kataryna (Катерина); Sofija (Софія); Warwara (Варвара). Few of them were pre-Christian names: two-part name Bohdan (Богдан) and proprialized appellative Hołub (< голуб "pigeon, dove").The material noted the derivated forms of full names too, e.g.: Nastka (Настка) < Anastasija (А)настасія); Iwaszko (Івашко) < Iwan (Іван).
Basing on the material there have been distinguished 32 surnames (including rudiments of surnames).
Among the family names most anthroponyms were anthroponymically underived (62,5%), e.g. Kohut (< когут "rooster, cock"); Krawec (< кравець "tailor"); *Wasyl (< Василь "Basil").
The share of surnames anthroponymically derived it was 37,5%; surnames of such type were formed with the use of the following formants: -owicz/-ewicz (75%), e.g. Łatynowicz (< латина "Latin"); Stepanowic(z) (< Степан "Stephen/Steven"); -enko, e.g. Z(o)łotenko (< золото "gold", золотий "gold; golden").
FOLK TERMS DENOTING ROAD IN THE ZHYTOMYR REGION
Authors: Chernenko T.
Published: August 2023

The article contains, analyses and systematizes a collection of folk geographical terms designating various types of roads in the dialects of the Zhytomyr region, recorded according to the native speakers of this area. According to the nature of the object of nomination, the lexical and semantic group “road” is classified into six semantic groups depending on the quality of the road, location, type of road surface and parts. The article traces the etymology and semantic variants of the collected terms from the first-known Slavic records and earliest records in the area under study to the present day.
The semantic chronology is analysed for those geographical names for which it was possible, such as road, highway, path, route etc. The meanings of the collected terms are described in comparison with the literary language and dialects of Ukraine and other Slavic languages. The materials used and explored by the study include artefacts and archival official papers. Moreover, the article traces the means whereby some geographical terms were formed. The new words are most often formed by means of suffixation or metaphorical transfer of names from other objects to geographical phenomena similar in their structure or form. Some terms include composite names formed by nouns and adjectives where the nouns denote geographical objects and the adjectives provide additional characteristics, indicating the quality, materials used and origin. The article outlines the territories of distribution of the recorded terms in the Zhytomyr region and identifies the folk terms that are most commonly used throughout the surveyed territory, those with their functioning limited to several districts or localities, and those occurring rarely. The folk terms are divided into those with widely known meanings, those recorded with new semantical meanings, and unique lexemes, never recorded in the language varieties spoken in other areas of Slavia. Functioning of a large number of phonetic variants of some lexical units recorded is observed, which is typical for the territory of the Zhytomyr region. The article also outlines the semantic fields of some polysemantic words used to denote other phenomena not related to roads.
PECULIARITIES OF PROPER NAMES OF MODERN CINEMA FILMS FUNCTIONING
Authors: Yanchyshyn A.
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the proper titles of feature films, through the prism of functioning. The topic under study has been updated by a number of factors, among which is the interest of linguists in the processes of nomination of films, in particular, the activation of typological studies of the proper titles of films as peculiar in terms of functions, structure, derivation, semantic and motivational basis of titles and the development of the Ukrainian film industry. We consider the proper names of feature films to be special, little-studied denotations. We recorded 364 titles of feature films that have been released since 2014.
In the work, the main tendencies of the functioning of the proper titles of the feature film as a component of ideonymy have been traced. We studied proper names of this type from the point of view of the genre specificity of the researched material. In accordance with this, the following were established: the place and role of the concept of ‘film’ in Ukrainian onomastics, productive types of such names, their structural organization, word-forming potential and semantics of the creative basis of such names.
Having analyzed such proper names, it is worth noting that, today, drama, in particular – comedy, is one of the most popular genres of Ukrainian cinema. In accordance with the structural organization of films, it is worth noting the high productivity of compound names. Such results, in our opinion, are undoubtedly related to the peculiarities of the functional load of the title-heading as a component of a complete work. Word formation is quite connected with the structure of the name, which is why productivity also gravitates towards lexical-semantic word formation due to the syntactic way of word formation. The semantics of the creative basis of proper names of this type are characterized by the productivity of appellative derivatives, in particular multi-component ones.
In the future, we see the need to study other classes of filmonyms, as special structural elements of the onymic space of the modern Ukrainian literary language.
BORDER AND ILLEGAL MIGRATION IN LUIS ALBERTO URREA’S THE DEVIL'S HIGHWAY: A TRUE STORY
Authors: Chernyshova S.
Published: August 2023

In the last two decades, literature concerning Latin American undocumented migration to the United States has emerged as a significant resource for comprehending the evolving landscape of state authority. The article considers techno-militaristic and the discursive production of the migrant figure in Luis Alberto Urrea’s Devil’s Highway. The author considers how Urrea’s text constructs a notion of migrant subjectivity and how the text participates in the reproduction of the material and discursive conditions by which the undocumented migration is rendered to readers. Undocumented migration is the focus of cross-border migration story described by Luis Urrea.  It emphasizes the pervasive impact of global capitalism on migration processes. The undocumented migrants are perceived by the dominant power as a sub-human category. Urrea’s Devil’s Highway describing contemporary undocumented migration allows for a more nuanced comprehension of migrant subjectivity, extending beyond economic injustice. Urrea interweaves the migrant’s journey with the intricate tales of the border. Nevertheless, the physical encounter of crossing the border constantly interrupts their journey. The desert's autonomous power inscribes the men's experiences instead of the men defining the land. Urrea directs the readers' attention to the tangible reality of the human bodies and the vast desert landscapes, crafting a multi-dimensional narrative that immerses the readers in the story. Urrea vividly portrays the brutal impact of the desert on the bodies of the walkers, urging the readers to empathize with their physical ordeal. The article argues that the subjectivity of undocumented migrants needs to be reconsidered in the context of such discourses as negative globalization, human rights, and economic dispossession.

The Relationship between Men and Women: Ahlam Mosteghanemi's Point of View
Authors: Ghazu Mohamed
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This research aims to elucidate Ahlam Mosteghanemi's perspective on the relationship between men and women, specifically focusing on the three types of men with whom she becomes entangled.

Methods: To address the research question, the study is divided into three parts. The first part explores Ahlam's views on lovers, the second delves into the contrasting portrayals of politicians, and the third examines her writings on patriotic men who fight against Algeria's enemies.

Results: Through an in-depth analysis of Ahlam Mosteghanemi's literary works, three distinct types of Algerian men, as well as Arab men in general, have been identified. First, the loved man or lover manifests in various forms, including the passionate lover, friend, father, brother, jealous individual, and one who contradicts his own principles. Second, politicians are depicted in two contrasting forms: one driven solely by personal interests, and another who is sincere, honest, and patriotic. Third, the patriotic man fights for the well-being of his country and opposes those who seek to harm Algeria.

Conclusions: Ahlam Mosteghanemi, much like her native country Algeria, is deeply affected by terrorism, fear, instability, and systemic corruption within state institutions, largely due to the negligence of citizens. Amidst these contradictions, Ahlam finds herself torn between the different types of men represented in her works, mirroring the struggles faced by Algeria itself.

Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between social media (SM) and family disintegration from the perspectives of Jordanian families in Irbid city, located in the north of Jordan. It explores this relationship in light of various variables, including gender, age, family's monthly income, and educational level.

Methods: The study sample consisted of 294 fathers and mothers randomly chosen from Irbid city. A questionnaire was used as a means of data collection.

Results: The study revealed that 63.6% of the sample confirmed a strong relationship between social media and the increasing cases of family disintegration in Jordanian society. Additionally, 50.7% of the participants reported the occurrence of family disintegration cases within their social environment. The participants believed that social media has contributed to higher divorce rates, marital disputes, domestic violence, spouse desertion, and poor marital and family relations. They also identified social media as a source of family instability, citing its role in generating conflicts within families, facilitating sexual deviations among children, promoting unhealthy marital relationships, contributing to children's disobedience towards their fathers, increasing rates of marital infidelity in both women and men, and undermining the moral and value system of Jordanian families.

Conclusions: The study concluded that there were no statistically significant differences in the effects of social media on family disintegration based on gender, family's monthly income, and educational level. The study recommends raising awareness among families and society about the potential dangers associated with improper use of social media platforms.

Authors: Almaani Bashar
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This study aims to examine the conceptualization of animal metaphors in political speeches delivered by Abdullah II, the King of Jordan, and President Trump. Additionally, the research investigates the translatability of metaphors between English and Arabic in political speeches.

Methods: The study analyzes metaphors using the conceptual theory of metaphor. Translated metaphors are examined based on the triangulation of translation procedures suggested by Schäffner (2004) and Deignan et al. (1997).

Results: The study reveals that metaphors play a significant role in shaping political discourse and serve as influential devices used by politicians to persuade their audience and communicate complex political ideas, particularly in relation to topics such as terrorism. Regarding the translatability of metaphors, the study finds that the similarities outweigh the differences, primarily in terms of the correspondence in the number of conceptual domains.

Conclusions: It is widely acknowledged that metaphors are prevalent in politics and have been established as major linguistic devices. Therefore, many political figures extensively employ metaphors. The research recommends exploring other types of metaphors in different genres.

Trends in Contemporary Ceramic Art and the Overlapping of Stylistic Concepts (Installation Art and Assemblage as a Model)
Authors: Kadhim Al-Bayat Zainab , Abdul-Karim Nepal
Published: August 2023

Contemporary arts have achieved, in accordance with the transition of concepts, a new logic in presentation and expression in general, and specifically in the field of ceramic art. The shift towards the logic of rejection and subversion of prevailing methods, which have been almost a constant foundation for a long period, has directly influenced the direction of visual arts in the contemporary world. The growth and cultural transformations that the world has witnessed after the two World Wars have produced cognitive shifts based on strategies that diverge from the dominant culture. These approaches vary according to existential needs, as the language of art has become conceptual and a medium for contemporary culture with its rapid and expanding rhythm. Thus, contemporary ceramic art has encompassed a diverse range of concepts expressing a specific philosophy tied to technology and scientific progress as means that directly contribute to the development of aesthetic values and artistic formations in alignment with the culture of the era. The concepts of this art form have changed and transformed in terms of presentation style and formal outcome .There is no longer a specific definition for fixed techniques and materials. Instead, we find that contemporary potters have moved beyond the boundaries of their traditional artistic field, under the concept of assemblage , achieving a form that is not subject to homogeneity .They employ renewed presentation methods that are not limited to enclosed spaces but are open in their settings, creating a visual witness in which the artist and the recipient participate in the idea and interpretation , fostering a dialectical and intellectual discourse linked to issues subject to discussion within the inevitability of existence.

Non-parametric analysis of maintenance data for Attitude Indicator of a commercial aircraft fleet
Authors: KAPAN ULUSOY Selda , ŞAŞMAZTÜRK Mahmut Sami
Published: August 2023

Analysis of maintenance data for a repairable system provides information about the failure behavior of the system. Such information is needed for determining preventive maintenance and retirement policy for the system. Parametric and non-parametric models can be used for analysis. Parametric models require more assumptions about the failure process of the systems under consideration compared to non-parametric models. To verify these assumptions statistical expertise needed. The purpose of this paper is to show that in practice non-parametric estimator of mean cumulative function can be utilized easily to model the failure behavior of a fleet. Mean cumulative function estimates the mean number of failures as function of operating hours. The method is exemplified on the attitude indicator units of a commercial aircraft fleet. Sampling uncertainty of the estimates is quantified by normal approximation confidence intervals.
The promoter effect of laminin-derived IKVAV peptide on three dimensional HUVEC microtissue
Authors: YARALI ÇEVİK Ziyşan Buse , KÖKEN Betül , KARAMAN Ozan
Published: August 2023

Tissue engineering research is recently a popular field but the vascularization process of existing methods limits the study area. Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) are essential cell models for vascularization study in vitro. Although studies about vascular biomaterial are mostly performed in traditional 2 Dimensional (D) cell culture, the system has some disadvantages. However, 3D scaffold-free microtissue can be used to overcome these disadvantages for the identification of the optimum concentration of biomaterials. IKVAV is an active unit of laminin which is an effective protein in the extracellular matrix. IKVAV may increase cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and cellular differentiation. Since IKVAV directly affects endothelial cells, the definition of the optimum concentration of IKVAV is critically important for HUVEC growth and viability during vascularization. Thus, the study aimed identification of the optimal IKVAV peptide concentration for the production and viability of 3D HUVEC SFM. After peptide synthesis, 3D SFM was fabricated. 0.5 mM and 1 mM concentrations of IKVAV peptide were treated with SFM. The control group was incubated without any peptide concentration. Diameters and viabilities of SFMs were evaluated. 1 mM concentration showed the highest diameter and viability. The increasing concentrations may support HUVEC growth and viability so it may induce vascularization in vivo conditions.
Major depressive disorder diagnosis from electroencephalogram data and potential treatment with dimethyltryptamine
Authors: JAHAN Sushmit
Published: August 2023

In recent times, there has been increasing interest in utilizing EEG-based techniques for studying Major Depressive Disorder as a dynamic method. Although it is frequently used for identifying depression, the method is still difficult to interpret. The conventional treatment of MDD involves medications such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, which often have adverse effects. On the other hand, the use of dimethyltryptamine to stimulate brain activity in regions where MDD patients show lower activity has demonstrated promising results. This study analyzed resting-state EEG signals from MDD patients, DMT users, and healthy controls to evaluate and validated a computer-aided approach. The brain activity of DMT users was recorded and compared with MDD individuals and healthy controls. Using Welch's method, the power of several frequency bands was analyzed from the EEG dataset for comparison and diagnosis. The extracted EEG data underwent noise removal and feature extraction. The features from all controls were concatenated to form a data matrix. Furthermore, the data matrix was standardized using the Z-score standardization method. The classifier model logistic regression was employed to train and test the extracted features. The results of the investigations have demonstrated the most important features, such as signal power of the EEG data from the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital brain areas, to be significant.

Authors: İŞLEROĞLU Hilal , TÜRKER İzzet
Published: August 2023

In this study, thermal stability and degradation kinetics of the phenolics of the aqueous fenugreek leaf extracts were determined. Thermal degradations of total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity and total saponins of the fenugreek leaf extracts were examined at different pH values (3.0, 6.0 and 9.0) and different temperatures (60, 70, 80, 90 and 100°C) for time. Moreover, degradation kinetics of the total phenolics were explained by first-order reaction kinetics. Half-life values, free energy and activation energy of the extracts for total phenolic compounds were calculated. According to the results, the extracts showed better thermal stability at pH 3.0 than the other pH values at the selected temperatures concerning total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity and total saponins. The degradation of the total phenolics, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity followed similar trends. The phenolic extract of the fenugreek leaves had high thermal stability. The extract had antioxidant activity despite applying eight hours of thermal treatment at 100°C. Kinetic constants (k) were 0.151-0.435 h-1, 0.181-0.491 h-1 and 0.197-0.634 h-1 at pH 3.0, pH 6.0 and pH 9.0, respectively. Activation and free energy values for the degradation of fenugreek phenolics were calculated in the range of 26.02-29.97 kJ/mol and 109.31-120.07 kJ/mol, respectively. The half-life values of total phenolics treated at 60-100°C were 1.59-4.59 h, 1.41-3.83 h, and 1.09-3.52 h for pH 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0, respectively.

Aim of our study was the determination and monitoring of tetracycline (TC) and degradation products (DEP) in livestock slaughterhouse wastewater treatment plant (SWWTP) effluent. For this purpose, TC and DEP values in SWWTP were investigated. The concentrations of TC and DEP were monitored for 12 months. TC, 4-epitetracycline (ETC), 4-epianhydrotetracycline (EATC), anhydrotetracycline (ATC), and physicochemical parameters of pH, suspended solids (SS), BOD5, COD, and TP were calculated. The maximum TC concentration was determined as 1.68±0.08 µg/L in March and the minimum TC was 1.08±0.05 µg/L in January. The maximum ETC was 2.93±0.14 µg/L in March and April. The minimum ETC was 1.98±0.1 µg/L in January. EATC was 10.82±0.5 µg/L in September, and minimum EATC value was determined as 9.14±0.4 µg/L in March. The maximum ATC value was 8.62±0.4 µg/L in June and the lowest ATC value was 6.61±0.3 µg/L in September. Concentrations of TC and DEP detected in SWWTP effluent were listed in descending order as EATC> ATC> ETC> TC.

One of the problems that exist in operations research is the problem of transportation. This study proposes the completion of the optimal solution in the transportation problem using the Modified Method of the Sirisha Viola method. The method proposed hereinafter is called the Sirisha Viola Modified Method . The algorithm in this method is the same as in the Sirisha Viola method but differs in the allocation step, where the allocation is made to the minimum demand first, then compared with the corresponding supply value. The data used in this study consisted of secondary data and simulated data (random data). The results of numerical calculations or using the help of the Python program for secondary data obtained an optimal solution of 12,100 cost units. Whereas for random data consisting of 4 0 balanced data and 40 unbalanced data with sizes 10 x 10, 13 x 17, 25 x 27, and 50 x 50 the optimal solution results are obtained. It is concluded that the Sirisha Viol a Modification Method in solving transportation problems can produce optimal solutions directly without the need to determine the initial feasible solution.
