Feminism of a ‘Weak Man’: Feminist Discourse in the Novel ‘In the Market for Murder’ by T. E. Kinsey
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Rybin Taras V. , Zueva Ekaterina V. ,   Kazan Federal University
Published: December 2023

When studying a complex phenomenon such as national identity, it seems important to consider with special care those aspects that have a tendency to change over time. An important aspect of British national identity is the British vision of the concepts of masculinity and femininity. One of the sources reflecting the way the British presently perceive the mentioned concepts is modern British literature. Remarkably, yet not unpredictably, a targeted study of works written by British authors reveals that feminist discourse plays the primary role where authors express their attitude to masculinity and femininity. In the paper, this phenomenon is demonstrated based on the analysis of the novel In the Market for Murder by T.E.Kinsey.We have identified and analyzed a number of feminist discourse elements in the text of this literary work. First, Kinsey introduced in his novel an antinomy of a ‘weak man’ and a ‘strong woman’, which is a fairly typical manifestation of feminist discourse. This contrast is expressed through the represen-tation of male characters as defective and weak, and female ones, accordingly, as self-sufficient and strong. The latter ones are perceived to be even stronger, having weak males at the background. Likewise, the femi-nist image of the‘new woman’, namely a progressive post-Victorian woman, is clearly expressed through the image of the main character of the novel. In addition, far from being unbiased in favor of feminism is the system of literary images in the novel. Taking into accountall the aforementioned, and considering the fact of the author being a male, it proves possible to allege that the studied novel to some extent reflects the reality where the feminist paradigm occupies a dominating position in British culture and is accepted thereby as given.
Word-Creation in Ditty (Chastushka) Folklore of the Kama River Area: Mechanisms and Functions
Authors:   Institute of Humanities Research, Perm Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Podyukov Ivan A.
Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of a study on the lexical composition of ditty(chastushka)texts recorded in the Perm region at the end of the 20th–early 21stcenturies. On the material of the Kama folklore tradition (suffering texts, texts of love, dance, military and recruiting, reprobating, and satirical dit-ties), the most productive means and ways of ditty word-creation are considered, the derivational structure of the new formations and their functions are analyzed. The closeness of the ditty word-formation to the oral-colloquial folk word-creation in generalis noted. The ditty genre shows the level of linguistic creativity as-sociated with the ability of anameless author to consciously vary a linguistic utterance in accordance with the artistic task set. The paper studies the semantics of the new formations found in ditties, their lexical-semantic stratification (names and features of the characters, namesof emotional states and relationships, musical instruments, varieties of ditties, etc.). The polyfunctionality of ditty new formations (psychological, expressive, evaluative, play functions) and their focus on creating typical images are shown. Particularatten-tion is paid to the study of the textual role of folklore occasionalisms. The ways of textual actualization of folklore new formations (a strong position in the text, the role of repetitions of various types) are analyzed. The author draws a conclusion about the specific features of occasionalisms as one of the means of ditty po-etics, about the manifestation in folklore word-creation of universal folk naive-linguistic ideas, on which the tradition of folk aesthetic use of language is based. The variety of love naming unitsrevealed in the texts of ditties is associated with their focus on sharpening love collisions. Being the means of indirect speaking, oc-casionalisms express the internal and external manifestation of a love feeling, different degrees of manifesta-tion of emotional experience. The abundance of new formations makes it possible to convey the individual characteristics of a love story, an individual love experience with greater accuracy.
Advertising Series in the Print Media of the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries: Uncle Mikhey’s Travels in Advertisements of the Laferm Association
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, Rozhkova Polina A.
Published: December 2023

The article is focused on a series of advertising texts united by a common character and story. Having emerged in print advertising of the turn of the 19th–20thcenturies, such series can be seen as the first manifestations of the advertising series genre,in which, along with the dominant tendency to in-formativeness, typical for the early 20thcentury, new techniques appear, these strengthening the expressive and manipulative components of the text. The advertisements analyzed in the paper are texts placedin the regional newspaper Uralskaya Zhizn(1903). In the array of the advertising texts examined, only one series united by the story and the character, published in November-December 1903, was found. It is devoted to the cigarettes of the Laferm company.Instead of the same text repeatedly published for several months, which was typical of advertisements of that period, the reader receives a new text in each issue. The texts are de-signed and laid out so as to resemble telegrams, and each individual text is stylized as a rayosh folk verse. Together they form a kind of travel novel or travel notes in verse. Important components of the text are the character (a representative of the company) and his interaction with the readers. It is they, not the product itself, that come to the fore. The non-provision of detailed information about the product is also an innova-tive feature of evolving advertising. The character uniting all the texts is presented by the authors as a sym-bol of the advertised products and the Association, which indicates not only a new form of advertising but also a more complex way of presenting goods, specifically the basics of brand formation.
The Image of the Red Bird in Chinese Culture and Folklore
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Shanghe Zhang
Published: December 2023

The image of the Zhu-niao (Red Bird) is familiar to specialists in the history and mytholo-gy of ancient China. This article examines the origin of the image and the development of the concept of Zhu-niao in Chinese culture and philosophy. The aim of the study is to analyze the semantics and symbolism of the Red Bird image, to establish the difference between the notions of the Red Bird and the Phoenix, to explain the projections of the Red Bird image in Chinese ornamental culture and folklore. The novelty of the study lies in the systematization and generalization of the meanings behind the Red Bird image in Chinese culture. The author concludes that the image of Zhu-niao represents Chinese primitive ancestors’ worship of the totem of the bird, totem of the sun, and totem of the constellation. The semantics of the Red Bird image in Chinese culture and folklore is classified into three categories. The Red Bird is primarily an ornithomor-phic symbol of one of the sides of the world: Zhu-niao (South) is among thefour zoomorphic symbols along with Qing-lun (East), Bai-hu (West), and Xuan-wu (North). The Red Bird is also a symbol of good luck and demonstrates the Chinese people’s idea of praying for good luck. In addition, the image of the Red Bird has become one of the four symbols of Taoism. Although the Red Bird image has different symbolic meanings, its semantics does not go beyond the context of Chinese traditional culture and national psychology. The practical significance of the study lies in the opening up of prospects for research into semantics and symbol-ism of mythical images in Chinese culture. The results of the study can be used in research on Chinese mythological images as well as animal characters in Chinese folklore and literary works.

Published: December 2023

In recent years, the linguistic landscape research has gradually attracted the attention of scholars in many related research fields. This paper mainly combines the core research topics in the research field of linguistic landscape, from the definition oflinguistic landscape and the function of linguistic land-scape, the definition of related academic terms and concepts, the empirical research of linguistic landscape in urban blocks at home and abroad, the theoretical study of linguistic landscape, and therelationship between linguistic landscape and spatial dimensions. Five levels of research, the current situation of domestic and foreign urban linguistic landscape studies and the overall research related to this paper are reviewed. To sum up, the stylistic characteristics, structure and function of linguistic landscapes reflect the characteristics of the study area to a certain extent. The study found that linguistic landscape is closely related to public space and indoor space. The special characteristics and regional functions of space can affect the characteristics and functions of linguistic landscapes. At the same time, there is a relationship between linguistic landscape and space. On the whole, this study provides a clear development direction for the core research questions in fu-ture linguistic landscape research. Linguistic landscape research focuses on the combination of micro and macro research perspectives and aims to reveal the relationship between linguistic landscape and its space. The study of linguistic landscape mainly focuses on the interaction between language, visual activities, spa-tial practice and cultural dimensions, especially the construction of spatial discourse with text as the medium and the use of symbolic resources.
Emotional Specifics of Verbal and Nonverbal Behavior When Discussing Body Positivity (based on interviews with informants from Russia)
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Gornostaeva Yulia A. , Kolmogorova Polina A. ,   HSE University (National Research University ‘Higher School of Economics’)
Published: December 2023

The article focuses on the problem of describing the specifics of verbal and nonverbal be-havior of Russian-speaking respondents in oral discourse on body positivity as a topical social issue. Therelevance of the problem is determined by: 1) the growing interest of scientists in the study of emotional processes in language and speech; 2) the lack of scientific papers describing the national and cultural specif-ics of the emotional behavior of Russophones; 3) its interdisciplinarity. The aim is to describe the emotional specifics of verbal and nonverbal behavior of Russian-speaking informants in the discourse about body posi-tivity and, by identifying emotional markers, to describe the attitude of Russophones to the movement of rad-ical body positivity. The leading research method is multimodal analysis implemented using ELAN software. During the experiment, it was found that, on the one hand, through language cliches, phraseological units, obscene vocabulary and borrowings from the English language, the proposition ‘you need to accept yourself as you are’ is verbalized; on the other hand, there is an ironic attitude toward the supporters of body positivi-ty, embodied in the genre of parody. To comply withgenerally accepted norms of acceptability, respondents resort to self-correction, verbalized by tolerance markers. The gender aspect of body positivity is manifested in the actualization of the propositions ‘body positivity is about the female body’ and ‘the male is the earner’. References to pop culture are used for emotional reinforcement, which is also realized through nonverbal manifestations of emotions, including nonverbal markers of bewilderment, embarrassment, doubt, approval (a smirk, frown, facial expressions, laughter, smile, squinting). In addition, there are limiter gestures used to indicate a conditional separation of two objects, to visualize a ‘shield’ or show a frame, as well as a gesture visualizing quotation marks to normalize what has been said and emphasize disagreement.
Initiation Novel in Works by J. Green

Published: December 2023

This article explicates the theme of growing up and self-identification of adolescents in modern US literature. Analysis of these problems seems important from the point of view of literary re-search and study of the genre ‘initiation novel’, as well as from general cultural and social perspectives. The studyaims at a detailed investigation of narrative features of novels as well as the structure of the plot and the chronotope to identify specific features of the initiation novel in modern US literature on the basis of the novels Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns, The Fault in Our Stars by J.Green. It is concluded that a compelling plot, philosophical problems (the identity of the main character, overcoming of crises), a sub-jective perception of time and space, confessional narration, traditional motifs of loss, experiencing death, illness, mental pain, disappointment, and self-attainment are typical features of the genre. The paper pre-sents the authors’ original classification of genre forms within the novel of initiation. It is based on existen-tial challenge that the protagonist faces, as well as the plot structure (the characters’ way out of the crisis), narrative method, theme, and message. Two kinds of the initiation novel are distinguished in the article: the ‘overcoming novel’ and the ‘comprehension novel’. It is concluded that novels Looking for Alaskaand Pa-per Townscan be classified as the second type since their structure is similar to the traditional Bildungsro-man. The main character passes through difficulties (the detective element plays a plot-forming role), leaves shattered illusions behind and grows up. The novel The Fault in Our Starsis close to the first type: through overcoming illness the main character experienced existential reconsideration.
‘My Idol, My Teacher, My Unattainable Model!’: Ivan Turgenev as a Reader of Alexander Pushkin
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Volkov Ivan O.
Published: December 2023

The article provides a holistic analysis of the reader’s perception by Ivan Turgenev ofAlexander Pushkin’s lyrical works. It focuses on the materials of the writer’s personal library (Ivan Turgenev State Literary Museum in the city of Oryol), namely the book (volume) 3 from the first posthumous collec-tion of the poet’s works (1838–1841) with numerous marks left by Turgenev. This paper is the first to recon-struct the picture of the writer’s thoughtful and responsive attitude to Alexander Pushkin as a poet, which is done through a comprehensive study of all the traces of reading left on the pages of the book by Ivan Turge-nev (underlining, notes). The nature of the marks indicates the writer’s concentrated attention both to the form of Alexander Pushkin’s verse and to the content. The writer’s reading reflection combines poetic texts into mainly three closely related thematic areas: moral and philosophical, love, and biographical. Ivan Tur-genev takes a special interest in Alexander Pushkin’s widely represented pairing of the images of life and death, he significantly deepens the dramatic notes in the author’s reflections on man and his position in the world. The philosophical meanings of Alexander Pushkin’s lyrics, which receive psychological voicing in the course of reading, also become for the writer a necessary tuning fork for the tragic sounding of the theme of love. Approaching the comprehension of the phenomenon of life creation in Alexander Pushkin’s works,Ivan Turgenev, on the one hand, places certain biographical accents in the poems, and, on the other hand, approaches the solution of the problem of the meaning and freedom of poetic creativity. For Ivan Turgenev, the sonnet To the Poetbecame the credo of a talented person in the matter of creativity.
Sufi Worldview of Jalal al-Din Rumi as Reflected in Modern Turkish Literature: the Case of Elif Shafak’s ‘Love’
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Nigmatullina Alsu M. , Vdovina Anastasiya O. ,   Kazan Federal University
Published: December 2023

Jalal al-Din Rumi is one of the most controversial figures of medieval Sufi poetry. Thesystem of his ideas, which originate from the legacy of earlier Sufi scholars, can be traced in many mod-ern pop-cultural elements. The article examines Sufi motifs presented in Jalal al-Din Rumi’s writings as they appear in the novel Love(Aşk) written by the modern English writer of Turkish origin Elif Shafak. Turning to religious and philosophical motifs in modern literature is associated with the ambiguous popularity of Rumi in the Western media space. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the domestication provided by Shafak as an example of cosmopolitan combination of Eastern mysticism and current socio-cultural problems. The article analyzes the novel with the aim of revealing intertextual characteristics in the text and also aims toestablish the feasibility of their use. To this end, the article proposes an analysis ofseveral provisions of Jalal al-Din Rumi’s worldview system, which he developed in his works in the context of the Arab-Muslim picture of the world and Sufi poetry: the concept of Love, dialectical understanding of the Unity of Existence, Sufi ethics, and tolerance of views. The transfer of elements of Sufi philosophy and ethics, present in the works of Jalal al-Din Rumi, into the novel serves as an ideological basis for the prob-lems that arise in Shafak’s narrative. The analysis reveals formal and substantive correlations between Sufi narrative, especially the narrative found in Rumi’s Masnavi-ye-Ma’navi, and the novel Loveby Shafak. Thearticle concludes that the writer successfully attempted to transfer Sufi philosophy to modern realities through addingthe idea that can be considered as a call for transcending inner barriers and following ideolo-gy of tolerance in order to overcome current social and individual crises.
G. Hauptmann’s Dialogue with Antiquity. Late Drama ‘Iphigenie in Delphi’
Authors:   Vladimir State University named after Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs, Sklizkova Alla P.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of perception of the antique epoch by the late Hauptmann, which not only reveals in Hauptmann’s dramas a deeper sense of tragedy than that typical of his early works but also clarifies the writer’s personality, the creative process of his development as a writer, which involved reinterpretation of previous creations, their perception as a personal tradition to be reviewed and updated. The article aims to reveal the peculiar features of Hauptmann’s philosophical dialogue with antiquity in his later years; to reveal the character of the playwright’s philosophical self-reflection; to substantiate the princi-ples of the writer’s personal mythology; to conceptualize his new mythopoetic imagery; to show the im-portance of chthonic primacy for Hauptmann by the example of the drama Iphigenie in Delphi. The analysis found that, while maintaining the same view on antiquity from the standpoint of totalspiritualization, the playwright is engaged in a dialogue with the ancient era in which the main theme is the theme of immortality, underlying his subjective myth-making. It, being associated with the ancient subterra-nean forces of primeval awareness, which were considered by Hauptmann as the immortal foundations of all things, contributes to the revision of the principle of ancient mysteries –movement toward the light from the darkness. Hauptmann creates his own myth, the content of which is the exit from the light and the descent into darkness, which means for him a return to the roots –to the chthonic roots. They, being the beginning of all existence, are called on, from the dramatist’s point of view, to contribute to the new birth of the world and man. It was found that under the late Hauptmann’s pen, the world picture, presented in the context of the po-etic metaphor of the sunset, changed dramatically. The change in the mythological imagery, when the life of a sunny day is transformed into the life ofa moonlit night, follows logically from Hauptmann’s reflections about the invigorating mystery of natural mysticism and constitutes the essence of the new religion that is most fully revealed in the drama Iphigenie in Delphi. Agamemnon’s daughter, returning to the palaces of Hecate and Persephone, not only feels the need for her own overthrow but also perceives it as a kind of new revival of her own personality, lost before subjectivity. The attempt to find peace of mind in the light of day brings only suffering, while the entrance into darkness becomes for Iphigenie the supreme good, the obtain-ing of that very immortality the reflections on which permeate Hauptmann’s writings of the late period.
Semantic Microsystems in the Nickname Anthroponymy of the Russian North
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, Borisova Elizaveta O.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes semantic microsystems in the nickname anthroponymy of the Russian North, which are understood as two or more nicknames formed from semantically related (synonymous, an-tonymous, belonging to the same thematic group, etc.) appellative lexemes and functioning in one micro-community. The material for analysis was extracted from the files of the Toponymic Expedition of the Ural Federal University, most of it is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The first part of the article lists the noted semantic microsystems and defines the types of systemic relations of the appellative vocabulary that are actualized in the nickname anthroponymy; the second part of the article focuses on social relations between people that increase the likelihood of giving them semantically related nicknames. A vil-lage micro community is a rather closed system, within which all participants know each other well, while first and last names are highly repeatable, and therefore nicknames primarily perform characterizing and dis-tinctive functions. In a semantic microsystem, an onym realizes its associative potential and at the same time marks a person’s place in society (belonging to a family, social and work-related ties, etc.), thus strengthen-ing the functions of a particular nickname. Semantic microsystems are most productively formed by words from the same thematic group (Kopeckand Polushka, which is a quarter-Kopeck coin, Gruzdand Volnushka, which are names of mushrooms), antonyms and oppositions (Vaska the White and Vaska the Black; Vanka Nagorny and Vanka Podgorny), and it is typical for husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, as well as friends and girlfriends, respectively, to be given semantically related nicknames.
‘Man was created to be a support to another, because he himself needs support’: Correspondence between Leo Tolstoy and Nikolay Nekrasov
Authors:   А. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Andreeva Valeria G.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes personal correspondence between LeoTolstoy and Nikolay Nekrasov in the 1850s–1860s, investigates the influence of the correspondents on each other, which remains underes-timated in modern literary criticism: not only the experienced editor Nekrasov had a decisive influence on the novice writer, but also Tolstoy, who knew life firsthand, contributed to the transformation of Nekrasov. During the preparation of the article, not only published letters of the correspondents were used but also handwritten materials stored in the funds of the Leo Tolstoy State Museum. The article indicates the mo-ments of the correspondents’ ideological convergence and distancing, the stages of their interaction in letters, determined by the complexities and specifics of personal communication, the publication of Tolstoy’s works in the Sovremennik journal, and changes in the journal’s trends. The paper notes the qualities and features that each of the correspondents most valued in the other as well as the similarity and parallelism of the crea-tive evolution of the writer and the poet, both of whom came to create great epic art. Particular attention is paid to the role of Tolstoy in maintaining Sovremennik, his assistance in launching a new military documen-tary direction in the journal. The paper analyzes the correspondents’ disagreement, caused in many respectsby Nekrasov’s cooperation with young revolutionary democrats. It is emphasized that Tolstoy’s discoveries and artistic explanations of the spiritual path of the individual, involving the loss of childish purity and faith, the likelihood of a difficult return to them at a new stage of understanding oneself, contributed to the internal evolution of Nekrasov, his understanding of the limitations of materialistic views. In the 1860s, Nekrasov managed to return to the idea of human physical limitations and spiritual strength at a new poetic level.
Metarealism of Alexey Parshchikov and Arkady Dragomoshchenko: Similarities and Differences
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Seifert Elena I. ,   Moscow State Linguistic University
Published: December 2023

The article aims to analyze the similarities and differences between the poetic systems of the major metarealist poets Alexey Parshchikov and Arkady Dragomoshchenko. Both poets left very favo-rable reviews about each other.Despite belonging to the same literary movement, these poets are different, though united by contact communications and typological convergences. A comparative analysis of Parsh-chikov’s and Dragomoshchenko’s poetics reveals the following differences: the verse form; the corporeality of Parshchikov’s poetry, with visualization tending toward tactility (the representation of visual images from the eye to the hand); the cinematographic nature of Parshchikov’s texts; Parshchikov’s humor as a means of reducing pathos; the principle of ‘neutralization of the word with the word’, Dragomoshchenko’s passive return of things to the world; abstract landscape in Dragomoshchenko’s poetry; the similitude of Drago-moshchenko’s lyric poem to the essay; Dragomoshchenko’s alternation of the poetic and prose;baroquepoetic thinking of Dragomoshchenko; Dragomoshchenko’s diffuse complex of Buddhist and Hindu motifs. Thecommonality of the authors’ poetics is created by: metametaphor as a constant; the manifestating nature of poetic works, their metalyricism as dominants; the poet as hearing, not voicing; ideogram; implicit con-nection of phenomena and objects; weighty value of the poem; conceptually complicated syntax; inclination toward emptiness as a space of bliss; portraying the outside as the inside.The power that determines the cor-relation of objects and phenomena and directs them to a metaphysical continuum, close to an incomprehen-sible absence, is also largely due to the corporeality of Parshchikov’s writing. The poets converge each other in terms of typological similarities (V.Zhirmunsky’s term), contact connections, and genetic relationship. Between them was personal sympathy, correspondence, and communication. Among their sources of creati-vity there also were common ones, for example, interest in the ‘American language school’ –strong for Dra-gomoshchenko, moderate for Parshchikov.

Introduction. Drilling holes with standard tolerance varying from IT8 to IT12 is widely used in industrial production. However, at present time, there are neither comprehensive studies, nor scientifically justified recommendations for the rational choice of the geometry of the cutting part of drills with a toroidal flank surface. Therefore, the computer-aided design (CAD) of new drill designs with a toroidal flank surface and finite element modeling (FEM) of the stressed state of its cutting part are important tasks. The purpose of the work is reducing both the range of change in the rake angle and the wedge angle of the cutting wedge along the cutting edge from the periphery to the center and the equivalent stresses in the cutting wedge. In this paper we investigate changes in the rake and wedge angles of the cutting wedge depending on the radius of the generatrix line of the toroidal flank surface as well as changes in equivalent stresses in the cutting wedge, which depend on changes in the radius of the generatrix line of the toroidal flank surface. The research methods include the fundamentals of the theory of cutting, CAD methods, and the FEM, which was applied in this work to new drill designs. Results and discussion. It is found that the range of changes in the rake angle and the wedge angle of the cutting wedge of the drill decreases compared to the standard design with decreasing radius of the generatrix line of the flank surface. A CAD system for drills with a toroidal flank surface is developed. As a result, the range of changes in the rake angle along the cutting edge decreased by 86 % for a drill with a minimum radius of the generatrix line of the toroidal surface compared to that with the conical flank surface, the range of the wedge angle of the cutting wedge decreased by 56 %, and the maximum equivalent stresses decreased by 2.13 times. It is also important to note that in this case, the wedge angle is close to constant for half of the drill tooth. These indicators exceed those for existing designs of the twist drills that indicate the key achievement of this paper.

Introduction. Predicting solid particle erosion (SPE) in gaseous flow and managing its intensity is still a relevant problem in mechanical engineering. It requires the development of a general modeling methodology, which also depends upon many special cases studying various physical processes. Such studies should also include verification analysis, process parameters and model sensitivity studies. Mainly computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis (and mesh-free methods such as smooth particle hydrodynamics or similar) are used to simulate the erosion process. Papers focused on CFD simulation of solid particle erosion of metal alloys are widely presented, but most of it is associated with relatively low or medium particle velocities (< 100–150 m/s) and is close to uniform diameter distribution. This paper presents a CFD study of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy SPE at relatively high particle velocities and sufficiently non-uniform unimodal particle diameter distribution. The paper also studies the turbulence model influence and particle shape effect which appears as a “shape factor” coefficient in the particle drag model. Methods. The heterogenous flow simulation was based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes formulation, where the particles, according to Euler-Lagrange formulation, were simulated as mathematical points with corresponding properties. The influence of turbulence models, such as k-epsilon standard, RNG k-epsilon, and a relatively new Generalized equation k-omega (GEKO) model and its coefficients were also studied. Oka and DNV erosion models were also compared based on the general sample mass loss and more specific erosion intensity profile criterions. The simulation results were compared to the lab-scale experimental results. Results and discussion. It is shown that neither erosion intensity profile or sample mass loss do not depend upon the turbulence model choice or GEKO parameters variation. As expected, erosion is dependent on the erosion model and its coefficients. A notable influence of the shape factor is shown. As the drag coefficient increased due to the particle shape, the erosion intensity decreased and the erosive profile on the surface also changed due to the changing velocity and diameter distribution of the heterogenous flow. It is expected that such results would be useful not only for erosion prediction in all areas of mechanical engineering, but also for wear management in mechanical assemblies and shot peening / shot peen forming management and simulation.

Introduction. In recent years, more attention has been paid to additive wire printing technologies. Due to the peculiarities of printing with wire, the hardness of the workpiece is significantly higher than with traditional forging. An increase in hardness leads to an increase in cutting force. The aim of the work is to study the cutting force during milling workpieces of stainless steel 0.4 C-13 Cr obtained by electron-beam surfacing. Research Methods The specimens were obtained by surfacing wire from martensitic stainless steel 0.4 C-13 Cr. The microstructure of the specimens was studied in this work. The main attention was paid to the study of cutting forces during the processing of specimens. The work investigate specimens obtained by electron-beam surfacing with 0.4 C-13 Cr steel wire. The cutting forces arising during milling of these specimens are determined. To carry out the research work, a standard methodology for conducting experiments to determine cutting forces was chosen. However, to determine the forces Pz and Py, a four-flute (z = 4) milling cutter was used and the milling width was less than 2 mm. Results and discussion. The structure of the specimens obtained by electron-beam surfacing is tempered martensite. It is established that high-speed milling, high-efficiency milling and conventional milling are suitable for processing such workpieces. For processing thin-walled workpieces made of martensitic stainless steel after its manufacture by the method of electron-beam surfacing, it is necessary to use only carbide cutters with a diameter of at least 12 mm. The cutting modes obtained in the study make it possible to reduce the temperature of the cutting edge, cutting force and bending of a low-rigid end mill. So, in the course of the study, it was possible to select modes that reduce the vibration of the machine-device-tool-part system.

Published: December 2023

O desempenho termoenergético das edificações está intimamente relacionado ao clima local, logo, é preciso alinhar o espaço arquitetônico ao clima e às necessidades humanas. O Estado do Mato Grosso apresenta temperaturas elevadas nos meses mais quentes e grande parte das edificações não reflete as condições climáticas existentes, portanto, faz-se primordial estudar o clima local e as estratégias bioclimáticas mais apropriadas para cada município, para estabelecer diretrizes projetuais visando adaptabilidade climática das edificações. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar as estratégias bioclimáticas e propor diretrizes projetuais para adaptabilidade das edificações ao clima para Água Boa, Campo Verde e Comodoro, a partir da caracterização climática dos municípios e estudo das diretrizes construtivas indicadas na norma ABNT NBR 15220-3. Para tanto, fez-se a análise climática das cidades por meio da ferramenta CBE Clima Tool. Com a plotagem das cartas psicrométricas no software Climate Consultant 6.0 obteve-se a indicação das estratégias bioclimáticas mais relevantes e, por fim, fez-se o levantamento das diretrizes construtivas recomendadas pela norma. Apesar de Água Boa e Campo Verde estarem na mesma zona bioclimática e possuírem o mesmo clima, os resultados mostraram que o perfil climático de Campo Verde é mais próximo ao de Comodoro. Identificou-se algumas diferenças entre as recomendações projetuais estabelecidas pelo software e pela norma, que influenciam na porcentagem de horas em que o condicionamento ativo é requerido.

This research aims to examine the awareness of child rights among students at a state university in Kazakhstan. The study aims to measure the level of knowledge future educators have on child rights. Qualitative research methods were used in the study, and semi-structured interviews were conducted for comprehensive data collection. The interview form used was a semi-structured interview form called "Preschool Teachers' Awareness of Child Rights Form", developed by the researchers. The research was conducted on a sample of 20 students from the university's preschool education department, and interviews were conducted specifically on child rights awareness. Descriptive analysis, a method of qualitative data analysis, was used to interpret the collected data. The results of the research showed that the students' levels of awareness varied, and a significant percentage had in-depth knowledge about the international child rights frameworks established by UNICEF. However, deficiencies were identified in their understanding of how these rights are applied in educational settings. The study emphasized the role of the curriculum in increasing awareness and suggested areas for improvement. In light of the findings, various recommendations were presented, such as incorporating comprehensive modules on child rights into teacher education curricula and organizing continuous professional development sessions for in-service teachers. Additionally, it was emphasized that workshops and seminars at the university level should be organized to address the identified knowledge gaps.
Verbal and visual resources in graphical abstracts: Analyzing patterns of knowledge presentation in digital genres
Authors: Ma Yuanyuan , Jiang Kevin
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, open science communication is facilitated with the affordance of multimodal semiotic resources. Against this backdrop, graphical abstracts have emerged as a digitally mediated genre and have become an important means of knowledge communication in academic settings. While its interactive visual designs have been discussed in the literature, the rhetorical patterns of verbal and visual resources used in this genre warrant more empirical investigation. Therefore, based on a corpus of 90 graphical abstracts from journals in biology, chemistry and engineering, this study explores the organizational use of verbal and visual resources to mediate knowledge presentation. Five moves were identified in the textual components of the graphical abstract: reference to visuals, research background, report of results, interpretation of results, and implications or applications of the research. Furthermore, we examined what and how contents are visualized in the graphical abstracts. We found that the most visually displayed contents are the results and the overview of research, and that the duplication of pictures in the full article is a dominant source of the graphical abstracts. Additionally, the most commonly used layout patterns in the graphical abstracts are narratives or ‘evolutions’.
Multimodal stance and engagement in digital video methods articles
Authors: Hafner Christoph
Published: December 2023

The proliferation of digital media technologies has led to fundamental changes in the way that we communicate, changes that have also been felt in the realm of scholarly communication. One underresearched scholarly digital genre is the “video methods article” (VMA) in experimental science, which is published by the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), and whose purpose is to share advances in scientific methods with members of the scientific community. The genre draws on the medium of digital video in order to communicate new methods through multiple modes (e.g., spoken, written and visual), making it possible for scientists not only to read about but also to see new scientific methods as they are demonstrated on screen. In addition, the genre opens up possibilities for interpersonal engagement with the audience (such as the ability to speak directly to the camera) that are not present in traditional methods articles. This article draws on a corpus of 11 VMAs (1 per year from 2006 to 2016) in order to provide a multimodal analysis of key sections. It aims to show how stance and engagement are realized in VMAs through a complex multimodal interplay constructed by multiple individuals. Semiotic resources identified include elements of the researcher’s video recorded performance such as speech, gesture, facial expression, gaze, dress, and body; elements of the setting, such as chosen location, represented human and non-human participants and represented action; use of scientific visuals and animations; filmic elements such as camera angle, movement, and distance.

At a time when scholars are increasingly expected to participate in public knowledge dissemination, social media platforms like Twitter hold great promise for engaging both experts and non-experts. However, it remains unclear in what ways academic tweets are shaped by disciplinary concerns and how this might, in turn, impact audience engagement. Our paper reports an early-stage corpus-driven analysis of 4,000 English tweets from 40 scholars’ Twitter accounts across four disciplinary groups: Arts and Humanities (AH), Social Sciences (SS), Life Sciences (LS), and Physical Sciences (PS). Engagement rates (Tardy, 2023), multimodal elements, tweet types, and interaction markers were quantitatively calculated using corpus and computational methods and qualitatively analysed through close reading. Our findings revealed some disciplinary variation in the corpus: specifically, LS used more multimodal elements than SS on Twitter; SS used fewer interactional markers than LS and PS on Twitter. We further found that LS also has the highest number of threads and the longest threads, often to unfold their multimodal information. Despite being the least multimodal and interactive disciplinary group, SS has the highest engagement rate. Our analysis suggests that explicit evaluation and critique plays an important role in eliciting responses on Twitter, particularly with regard to current social or political issues —a finding that resonates with previous research on science communication and popularization (Orpin, 2019). The findings can be applied in science communication training to raise disciplinary awareness in shaping one’s social media presence.
Using questions in non-interactive presentations: Multimodal analysis of an audience-engaging strategy
Authors: Ruiz Garrido Miguel , Palmer-Silveira Juan Carlos
Published: December 2023

Open science, an approach based on making research available and understandable to everyone, is currently attracting considerable attention. Online genres are a well-accepted means of democratizing science and spreading scientific research to reach the widest audience (Luzón & Pérez-Llantada, 2019). This paper explores one of these genres devoted to laypeople: FameLab presentations. These are online 3-minute talks on scientific and/or technological subjects which are part of an international competition. One aim of these talks is to engage the audience, and this strategy can be developed by both different language resources (Hyland & Zou, 2021), and multimodal ones (Fortanet-Gómez & Ruiz-Madrid, 2016; Luzón, 2019). 

 

Our study focuses on analyzing how questions are used as an engagement device to attract the audience’s attention, and how they are complemented by multimodal features. Our dataset includes 20 FameLab presentations from the 2020 (10) and 2021 (10) editions, when they became live-stream, pre-recorded events because of the COVID-19 pandemic, unlike the traditional dynamics, when they were delivered as in-person live events. Following prior research (e.g., Thompson, 1998), we identified the questions appearing in our dataset, and found similar results to previous findings in comparable genres. We then conducted a multimodal analysis to determine common features among speakers. The results show the need to consider certain non-verbal features which accompany questions, supporting and emphasizing their engagement function. Our research may help understand how multimodal discursive practices are used to explain science, and how they can be transferred to the classroom of Languages for Specific Purposes.
