Entry Requirements as Predictors of the Academic Performance of Postgraduate Students in Universities in Zimbabwe
Authors: Rudhumbu Norman , Mudau Patience Kelebogile
Published: February 2022

One of the major strategies that universities use to ensure quality in education is the use of entry requirements as a screening procedure to ensure that only those considered to be the ‘best’ students are admitted. Whether these so-called ‘best’ students eventually perform to expectations academically is an issue on which conclusive evidence does not exist. Also, recruiting students with high entry requirements is viewed in universities as a confidence-building exercise with regard to the quality of graduates churned out by educational institutions. This study, therefore, examined whether a significant relationship exists between entry requirements and the academic performance of postgraduate students admitted into universities in Zimbabwe based on different entry qualifications. The study used a descriptive research design that employed a quantitative approach located in the post-positivist paradigm. A sample of 110 Master of Education in Mathematics (M.EdMT) students admitted into the programme based on the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) and the Bachelor of Science Education (BScEd) degrees was randomly selected from a population of 200 M.EdMT students from four universities in Zimbabwe. The t-test and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that degree classifications at the undergraduate level had no significant influence on the academic performance of postgraduate students. It was also concluded that there were no significant differences in the academic performance of students admitted into the M.EdMT programme based on the B.Ed. and BScEd degrees.
The Relation Between Impulsivity and Estimation of Marijuana Weight
Authors: Parnes Jamie , Kentopp Shane , Sommerfeld Joshua , Conner Bradley
Published: February 2022

Until recently, marijuana research has often relied on self-reported frequency of use (e.g., days used per month). These estimations may oversimplify use at times, as they can only infer the quantity that one uses, rather than directly measure it. While some studies have estimated quantity (e.g., number of joints, grams), research has supported that user estimates of marijuana weight are often inaccurate and overestimate the true quantity. Since weight misestimation varies by participant, it may be important to identify individual difference factors (e.g., personality) that influence weight estimation. One such factor may be impulsivity, as it is known to relate to other marijuana-use measures (e.g., frequency, consequences). However, research has yet to examine the specific relation between impulsivity and misestimation of marijuana weights. The present study investigated impulsivity as a predictor of marijuana quantity estimation, using objectively weighed quantity data. We hypothesized that impulsivity facets would relate to marijuana quantity misestimation. We asked attendees at a marijuana-related event to roll a joint or pack a bowl, and then take, among a battery of measures, the SUPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale. We found that negative urgency, positive urgency, and lack of perseverance were not significantly associated with misestimation, while lack of premeditation was significantly negatively related to misestimation. Findings indicated that individuals who lacked in premeditation made more accurate quantity estimates than those higher in premeditation. Future directions should investigate the relation between impulsivity, marijuana intoxication, and marijuana quantity estimation.
The Effect of Traditional Games (Congklak) on Cognitive and Fine Motor Development in Children Under Five
Authors: Rukmini Rukmini
Published: February 2022

Background: In theory, games can be used as a stimulus for optimizing brain development in children under five. Traditional game may be useful to improve brain development. This study aimed to analyze the effect of traditional games (congklak) on cognitive and fine motor development in children under five.
Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment study with pre and post-test design conducted at Gembong Sawah, Surabaya, East Java, in February 2021. A total of 33 childrens under five was selected by random sampling. The dependent variable were cognitive and fine motor development. The independent variable was traditional game (congklak). The data were collected by a set of questionnaire and analyzed by Wilcoxon.
Results: Cognitive development on children under five was higher after intervention (Mean= 34.72; SD= 6.07) than before (Mean=26.88; SD= 6.12) and it was statistically significant (p<0.001). Fine motor development in children under five (Mean= 24.58; SD= 3.96) was higher than before (Mean=18.52; SD= 4.61) and it was statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Traditional game (congklak) effectively improves cognitive and fine motor development among children under five.
META-GENRE OF FANTASY IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN SCIENCE
Authors: Ivanova Natalia , Ryzhchenko Olga
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the problem of interpreting the phenomenon of fantasy in modern science. Fantasy has spawned many discussions related to the definition of its sources and genre nature, the relationship with the myth-folklore tradition, the problems of classification, the specifics of extra-literary functions and many others. We consider fantasy to be one of the branches of speculative fiction, which naturally formed into an independent industry in the second half of the twentieth century. Initially having appeared as a genre, fantasy subsequently has outgrown this category. Today we can say with confidence that fantasy is a meta-genre, which has its own structure of modeling the world and unites various literary genres (novel, novelette, lyric poetry and others) and types of art (sculpture, cinema, animation, graphic arts, painting, and others) with a common subject of artistic representation.The constant dynamics of fantasy leads to the increase in the number of topics (heroic, epic, historical, magical, scientific, romantic and mystical) and, as a result, the readership as well. For example, it can be classified by age criterion (children – adult), by geographic criterion (urban – countryside), and even by gender principle (men – women fantasy). There are several approaches presenting different aspects of the phenomenon: classifications by the type of adventure or problematic-thematic principle (Ramin Shidfar or Sergey Alekseev and Mikhail Batshev). Such a diverse scientific interest in fantasy, multiple attempts to classify and systematize it, as well as going beyond the boundaries of the literary genre, testify to the ongoing process of its development.
SEMANTIC SPACE OF THE RESEARCH PAPER ABSTRACT
Authors: Mironchuk Тetiana , Odarchuk Natalia
Published: February 2022

The article explores semantic structure of the abstract of geological research papers (GRPA) and proposes a model of its semantic space. Consideration is given to the functional level. Its semantics is concluded to be built by two segments of content – referential and textual ones.

GRPA is defined to be a super-segmental sign of secondary denotation and co-reference, which reflects a complex system of semiotic, semiological, and textual relations between two lingual signs – the research paper and the abstract. GRPA referential semantics is studied via the GRPA semiotic relations and establishes coding, patterning, and indexing functions to frame GRPA semiotic semantics, while also recognizing instrumental, indicatory, identifying, substitution, and compensatory functions to be complementary to the GRPA semiotic nature.

GRPA semiological relations establish reportive, referential, and reflective functions to be fundamental to GRPA textual semantics, which is supplemented by informative, visualizing, and educative functions. Informativeness, evidentiality, and credibility are determined to constitute core attributes of the GPRA functional semantics. The descriptors of informative semantics of the texts of academic genres and the GRPA, in particular, are concluded to be the predicates of existence, state, identification, movement, physical and intellectual action, location, and characterization.
FROM TEXT TO POLYCODE TEXT: SEMIOTIC CHANGES IN TEXT PRODUCTION
Authors: Semeniuk Tetiana , Gordienko Yulia
Published: February 2022

The article is devoted to the investigation of the linguistic notions of “text” and “polycode text”. The notion of a text has recently undergone a lot of changes in its interpretation. Nowadays, while defining of texts it has been offered to take into account different approaches to their study including not only grammatical, cognitive-semantic, communicative-pragmatic, but also semiotic and semiotic-cultural. The development of IT, the globalization, and changes in the ways of coding of information have increased the role of the semiotic approach in the interpretation of texts. Within the semiotic approach, today’s text is regarded as a set of monocode or polycode communicative resources which correlate with each other, form a complex integrative meaning and are addressed to recipients with a certain pragmatic purpose. It has been proposed to distinguish between monocode and polycode texts and to use the term “polycode” to accentuate the coexistence of two or more codes in one text space. A polycode text is regarded in the article as a coherent unit consisting of several semiotic codes: verbal, non-verbal (photographs, pictures, pictograms, ideograms, smiles, cartoons, tables), paraverbal (color, font, punctuation, layout, diacritical marks). Changes in the encoding of the information in texts and the emergence of new communicative resources have led to the necessity of the reviewing of text’s textuality. Polycoding and multimodality have been regarded in the research as standarts of textuality as well as cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality and intertextuality.
THE COMMUNICATIVE STATUS OF TOPIC RECONTEXTUALIZATION
Authors: Kovalchuk Liudmyla
Published: February 2022

This article presents a study of the communicative status of topic recontextualization in discourse. A context model is defined as a mental representation of the relevant parameters of a communicative situation in the episodic memory of the interlocutors which provides a thematic coherence of the communication. The study of context is understood in its organic connection with an object of the speaker’s thought, or topic, which makes it possible to reveal the cognitive structure of context and to analyze deeply the communicative status of recontextualization). Recontextualization is defined as a linguo-cognitive operation aimed at functional topic reorientation in the discourse caused by the change of the interlocutors’ perspective on the topic. The communicative status of topic recontextualization includes various communicative factors: spatio-temporal inhomogeneity, redistribution of communicative roles, side-participant presence and polytopicality of communication. Special attention is focused on the study of the lingual means that contribute greatly to topic recontextualization. Lexico-grammatical means function as indicators of retrospective and prospective reference. Communicative tactics of attracting attention, interruption and persuasion signal the redistribution of communicative roles. Speech phonation, the untimely completion of communication, topic change indicates the presence of a side-participant, either as a passive or an active communicative partner, joining in the topic recontextualization in the discourse. A coexistence of two or more topics within the communicative process marks its multiperspectivity.
SOCIO-PRAGMATIC PECULIARITIES OF APOLOGY UTTERANCES IN MODERN ENGLISH
Authors: Botvinko-Botiuk Olena , Koliada Elina
Published: February 2022

In this article, consideration is given to the utterances of apology in Modern English. The utterances of apology belong to the post-event-acts, i.e. they signal that a certain type of event has already taken place. Moreover, the speaker recognizes the fact that a violation of a social norm has been committed and that the speaker is at least partially involved in its cause. The act of apologizing requires an action or an utterance that is intended to “set things right” between the apologizer and the recipient of the apology. The English language provides a range of accepted formulas for apologizing. Utterances of apology can be very short and direct, or longer and more complex. The expression of apology depends on the seriousness and importance of the thing which has happened, the social and cultural standards, the type of situation (official/non-official), the form of apology (written/oral), social relations of the speaker and the hearer (the degree of familiarity), the speaker’s feelings, and the degree of the speaker’s responsibility for what has happened. There are five possible strategies for making an apology: an expression of an apology, acknowledgement of responsibility, an explanation or account, an offer of repair, and a promise of non-recurrence.
FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF STYLISTIC FIGURES: METAPHOR AND METONYMY
Authors: Vysotska Ol'viya
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the word-forming role of stylistic figures (metaphors and metonymy) in the formation of polysemantic words-terms. The common regularities of the use of stylistic figures in various spheres of the humanities, ways of their change (semantic landslides), especially the semantic filling of terms in professional texts are revealed. It is noted that the semantic paradigm of metaphor is a complex system-forming unit that forms a set of derivatives motivated by the same sign. A metamorphic nominative function, capable of forming new concepts, is also traced. It is generalized that the metaphor is a semantic shift in meaning, and metonymy is a semantic shift in the reference. The stylistic figure of a metaphor performs both a figurative and an effective speech function and can be represented by a set of semantic markers or sems. The article argues that a stylistic figure, as a result of a combination of heterogeneous components of content that arose in the context, is singled out implicitly from it, realized both in the metaphor and in metonymy, providing a proper understanding of the speakers of the language. It is highlighted that metaphor is a semantic process, where the form of a linguistic unit is transferred from one referent to another based on the similarity of subjects / concepts in the mind of the speaker. The mechanism of the functioning of stylistic figures by the main regular models of the metaphorical semantic transition, which is a complicated multifaceted process of “generation” of new meanings, is shown. It is proved that penetrating into a professional language, the metaphor gradually loses its imagery, associativity and acquires a strict terminological meaning. It is argued that the semantic structure of the metaphor is formed in close interaction between the main and the auxiliary components, and the meaning that causes the metaphor is the structural component of the extensional meaning and determines the perception of the main subject of the metaphor. It is generalized that stylistic figures (metaphor, metonymy) are capable of creating new meanings in both semantic and cognitive dimensions, and their free combination enables the emergence of a new meaning that is actualized in a particular speech act.
STRATEGIC APPROACHESTO ACADEMIC PAPER ABSTRACT TRANSLATION
Authors: Kyrychuk Larysa
Published: February 2022

Translation of academic paper abstracts has always been the point at issue in academic discourse. Translators are, particularly, faced with the problem to solve: should the translated abstract reflect accurately the original, thus presenting its formal features, or should it be modified, so that the target text becomes adjusted to the linguistic, cognitive and cultural expectations of the target reader. Taking into account that the techniques employed by the translators are predetermined by their strategic approach to academic paper abstract translation, the identification of the prevalent techniques in the target texts makes it possible to point out the most frequently taken translators’ stances. Specifically, the comparative-contrastive and descriptive analyses of the Ukrainian-English micro- and macro-unit pairs undertaken in this study enables us to outline the prevalent strategic approaches to this type of translation. The study shows that the techniques used by the translators involve calques, word-for-word rendering, obligatory and optional transformations, translation shift at the textual level, re-statement, etc. The target texts that exhibit the translators’ preference for a certain type of the techniques are distributed into the classes of literal (31 out of 71 cases), modified literal (37 cases) and free (re-contextualized) translation (3 cases). The findings of the study are commented on and generalized in the conclusions.
ALLUSIONS IN LITERARY DISCOURSE (BASED ON THE NOVEL “THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT” BY J. STEINBECK)
Authors: Tryshchenko Iryna
Published: February 2022

This paper is devoted to the study of allusion functions in literary discourse. Allusion is treated as a central manifestation of intertextuality. This term is used as a generic one for both references and quotations. They are defined as two forms of allusion marker. The analysis is conducted on the basis of J. Steinbeck's novel “The Winter of Our Discontent.” The brief review of J. Steinbeck's literary heritage is presented in the paper. The functioning of biblical, mythological and literary allusions is under study. Literary allusions in the novel are made both to works of classical authors (Shakespeare, Tennyson) and works of popular genres. They are used for characterization, to produce ironic and humorous effects, to create a certain atmosphere or setting, to structure the narrative, to introduce and develop the theme of the novel, to generalize the plot. In addition to allusions to certain works of different authors, allusions to certain genres are discussed, including cases of genre re-registration. The role of allusions as means of contributing to the polyphony of the novel and establishing writer-reader interaction of a certain type is also in the focus of the given paper.
SYNERGISM AND SUPERVENIENCE IN COGNITIVE PROCESSES
Authors: Kalyta Alla , Klymenyuk Оleksandr
Published: February 2022

The paper presents the results of the authors’ original philosophical and linguistic consideration of the links between synergism and supervenience during cognitive processes of the human’s speakingand-thinking activities. Within the framework of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of linguistic phenomena, the authors describe the influence of a multifactorial nature of cause-and-effect relationships on psycho-energetic features of the cognition mechanism functioning. On the basis of previously stated postulates, the authors have formed a systemic cybernetic model of the structure and complex interaction of causing factors that affect the self-development of cognitive processes in the human’s psyche. The paper outlines the specificity of cognitive processes taking place in the four spheres (existential, mental, transcendental, consciousness) of the individual’s spiritual being as well as reveals the essence of methodological potential of the cybernetic model proposed by the authors as a universal interdisciplinary tool for planning and carrying out lingua-cognitive research. Practicalrecommendations are given for the system planning of a new topic of interdisciplinary lingual-andenergetic research of the features of cognitive processes of speaking-and-thinking self-development, materialized in the person’s speech and communicative behavior.

Tiempo y Audiencias. Disincronía y Enjambres Digitales
Authors: Cuadra Rojas Álvaro Rodolfo
Published: February 2022

Este artículo examina, desde una perspectiva teórico fenomenológica, las alteraciones en la percepción del tiempo derivadas del uso de las redes sociales on-line (RSO). La hipótesis que guía este trabajo sostiene que la pérdida de la linealidad, causada por la irrupción hipermedial, provoca un desorden temporal o disincronía, que se presenta como una cierta aceleración temporal. Este fenómeno conlleva a un cambio radical en los modos de significación de los enjambres digitales y reclama una revisión de las llamadas teorías de la recepción y los estudios de audiencias.

XX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren kitle iletişimin artmasıyla birlikte eş zamanlı olarak toplumlardaki kültürel çalışmaların sanat alanı içerisinde de hızla artması, popüler kültür içerisindeki göstergebilimsel metaforların önemini
ortaya çıkarmıştır. Özellikle postmodern dönemde bilinçli olarak göstergebilimsel atıflar sanatın her alanda karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, sanat alanın da tüm dallar sesli, görsel ve hem sesli hem görsel olması açısından
gösterenler olarak kabul edilmektedir. Çalışmada, günümüzde popüler kültürün ürünü olan yaşanmış bir olaydan Evilyn Francis’in Empire State binasının 83. katındaki Gözlem Güvertesinden kendini atmasıyla “tarihin en güzel intiharı”
olarak literatüre geçmesi ile medyada paylaşılan görselleri ile Hadise’nin Hay Hay adlı video klibinde kullanılan görsellerin bu olaya yaptığı atıflar metinlerarası yöntemlerden olan öykünme yöntemi ile göstergebilimsel olarak
incelenmiştir. Günümüzde birçok disiplinin içiçe geçmesiyle birlikte sıkça kullanılan metinlerarası yöntemler metin dışındaki disiplinlerde göstergelerarası bağlamda incelenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda incelenen video klipte Evilyn
Francis intiharı form olarak aynen taklit edilmekle birlikte Hadise’nin güçlü kadın imajını izleyiciye aktarma amacıyla yapılan bazı değişiklikler biçem olarak video klibi farklı bir bağlama taşımış ve tüm bu yapılan uygulamalar
metinlerarası yöntemlerden olan öykünme yöntemi ile koşutluk oluşturmuştur. Yaşanan gerçek bir olayın biçem olarak taklit edilmesi ile farklı bir bağlamda üretilen klibin göstergelerarası bir bakışla incelenmesi çalışmanın önemini
ortaya koymaktadır.

Bu çalışma; okul yöneticilerinin çatışma yönetimi stillerinin örgütsel mutluluğa etkisini incelemek ve okul yöneticilerinin çatışma yönetimi stilleri ile örgütsel mutluluk arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla
yapılmıştır. Yapılan literatür araştırmaları ve incelemeleri neticesinde okul yöneticilerinin çatışma yönetiminde tümleştirme ve uzlaşma stillerini öncelikli olarak tercih ettikleri; hükmetme, kaçınma ve uyma stillerini daha az
tercih ettikleri tespit edilmiştir. Okul yöneticilerinin çatışma yönetimi stillerinden tümleştirme (entegrasyon, iş bölümü) stilini tercih etmelerinin öğretmenler tarafından algılanan örgütsel mutluluğu olumlu yönde etkilediği
belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca çatışma yönetiminde okul yöneticilerinin hükmetme, uyma (ödün verme, boyun eğme) ve kaçınma stillerini tercih etmelerinin; öğretmenlerin motivasyonları, iş doyumları, örgüte bağlılık düzeyleri gibi değişkenlere
etkisinin olumsuz olduğu, bu stillerin kullanımının da örgütsel mutluluğu negatif yönde etkilediği kanısına varılmıştır. Araştırma sürecinde elde edilen verilerden yola çıkarak okul yöneticilerinin çatışma yönetimi stillerinden
tümleştirme stilinin örgütsel mutluluğu pozitif; kaçınma, hükmetme ve uyma stillerinin ise örgütsel mutluluğu negatif yönde etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca okul yöneticilerinin çatışma yönetimi stilleri ile örgütsel mutluluk

Fleet size and traffic flow rate dimensions of the University of Port Harcourt mass transit system
Authors: Cosmas Ifedilichi Eneonwo
Published: February 2022

The University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria is rapidly developing and expanding in spatial size, thus, leading to upsurge in population of staff, students, business owners and visitors. Consequently, there is the growing concern that with the current state of perennial buildup of traffic along the main entry and exit routes of the main campus; occurrence of major mobility crises, especially during the traffic peak-hours is only a matter of time. To make for better understanding and appreciation of the current traffic conditions, the precariousness of the near future and to recommend appropriate measures towards arresting the situation, this study became necessary. The paper evaluates the traffic characteristics of the study area using such temporal parameters as traffic volume, on/off peak traffic periods and traffic flow rate for 5 work-days of the week. For the traffic flow rate, the study revealed high volume of traffic within 1.5 kilometers network. This gave the average values of 8.8, 8.5, 8.2, 6.8 and 8.1 vehicles per minute in a 5-day count, for the morning peak-hour, between 8 and 9am. Similarly, evening peak-hour (4-5 pm) gave the average values of 5.8, 5.4, 5.1, 4.9 and 6.2 per minute. Fleet size was an average of 245 vehicles per day. The geometric features of the road networks, traffic volume and fleet size invariably contribute to the perennial gridlock at peak-hours. Values were obtained through the Gordon line traffic survey carried out on the five work-days of the week, consecutively.

Pernapasan merupakan proses menghirup dan menghembuskan udara dengan melibatkan pertukaran udara pada alveolus paru-paru. Beberapa gangguan atau penyakit yang menyerang organ sistem pernapasan atau paru antara lain Bronkitis, COPD, dan URTI. Menentukan jenis penyakit yang diderita seseorang sangatlah penting untuk dapat menentukan jenis obat yang sesuai. Untuk membedakan jenis penyakit paru ini selain dengan menggunakan MRI atau hasil rontgen juga berdasar suara napas pnederita. Pada penelitian ini deteksi jenis penyakit paru didasarkan pada suara pernapasan dengan menggunakan dimensi fractal Higuchi. Untuk klasifikasi suara penyakit pernapasan pada manusia dapat dilakukan dengan menganalisis ciri khas sinyal suaranya. Dalam penelitian ini, klasifikasi didasarkan untuk membedakan jenis penyakit paru bronkitis, COPD, URTI dari paru yang sehat berdasarkan nilai dimensi Higuchi dengan dekomposisi wavelet 5 level dengan K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Data yang digunakan sebanyak 117 data suara pernapasan berupa data wav yang terdiri atas 13 data penderita bronkitis, 64 data penderita COPD, 26 data suara napas orang sehat, dan 14 data penderita URTI. Metode yang digunakan adalah Pre-Prosessing yaitu menghilangkan noise dan menormalisasi data suara, kemudian menggunakan Discrete Wavelet Transform tipe Mother Wavelet Daubechies db4 dengan dekomposisi level 5 sebagai ekstraksi ciri, lalu mencari nilai dimensi fraktal dengan metode Higuchi. Setelah mendapatkan nilai dimensi fractal, data dibagi menjadi dua yaitu data train dan data test menggunakan jarak Euclidean dengan perbandingan data train dan data test yaitu 1:9 hingga 9:1. Kemudian, data diklasifikasi menggunakan metode K-Nearest Neighbor dengan nilai k percobaan yaitu 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, dan 11. Pada penelitian ini, diperoleh nilai akurasi tertinggi sebesar 83% dengan nilai K-max = 60, dengan perbandingan data train dan data test yakni 9:1, dan nilai k = 1 dan 2 pada KNN. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan metode dimensi fraktal Higuchi dan K-Neares Neighbor dari suara pernapasan dapat digunakan untuk mengklasifikasi jenis penyakit paru pada manusia.
