Proposta de um glossário terminológico do LOL
Authors: Marques de Souza Neto Francisco Marcelaro , Procópio Eliabe dos Santos
Published: October 2024

Esta pesquisa objetiva documentar os termos usados pelos jogadores brasileiros profissionais de League Of Legends (LOL) e produzir uma proposta de glossário desse léxico especializado.  A base teórica é a Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia (TCT), nas orientações de Cabré (1999). A metodologia consistiu na seleção de vídeos que registram o Campeonato Brasileiro de League Of Legends (CBLOL), todos disponíveis no Youtube; na audição e na coleta de enunciados onde ocorrem palavras que são candidatas a termo do jogo; e na elaboração de um modelo preliminar para um vocabulário do LOL, que está composto por 85 termos. Uma constatação desta pesquisa é que são escassos os estudos linguísticos sobre a comunicação verbal nesse jogo, um dos mais populares na virtualidade atual. Os resultados indicam uma forte presença do contato linguístico inglês/português, já que o jogo foi formulado em língua inglesa, e seu acesso e manuseio são internacionais, em que o inglês funciona como língua franca. Além disso, o campeonato brasileiro agrega jogadores de diversas nacionalidades nas respectivas equipes. Com isso, abundam as interferências e as transferências linguísticas, através de empréstimos e calcos, e outros ajustes gramaticais.

Published: October 2024

Citrus fruit flies are a major kind of quarantine pest that spreads with a potential outbreak in citrus producing areas in Zhaoqing. A variety of fruit flies can be monitored and controlled by physical methods. However, there is a lack of effect evaluation of trapping fruit flies during production. In this study, the effects of different physical trapping methods were tested for bactrocera minax (b. minax) and bactrocera dorsalis (b. dorsalis) in the sugar orange orchards in Zhaoqing. The result showed that in a non-fruiting orchard and fruiting orchard respectively, the numbers of bactrocera dorsalis trapped by sex pheromones were 110 and 32, 25.7 and 6 by food attractants, and 24 and 5 by yellow sticky boards. While the number of bactrocera dorsalis trapped by sex pheromones was significantly higher than that by food attractants and yellow sticky boards, the number of species and quantity of insects trapped by food attractants and yellow sticky boards were, however, higher than by sex pheromones, and bactrocera minax were also trapped. From October to December, there were two peaks of trapped numbers of bactrocera dorsalis, while the number of the bactrocera minax remained stable. In terms of cost per mu, the costs for the first trapping cycle were 55, 40 and 40 yuan per mu by sex pheromones, food attractants and yellow sticky boards respectively, and 15, 40 and 40 yuan per mu after the second trapping cycle. None of the three methods involved contact between lethal chemicals and the fruit. In light of the yearly outbreak due to the life cycles of these two fruit flies, a variety of trapping methods with comprehensive prevention and control measures should be applied starting from the management of non-fruiting orchards, so as to promote pesticide reduction and green plant protection.

Authors: Xu Shuting
Published: October 2024

Agriculture is the foundation of China’s national economy and plays an important role in the development of national economy. China’s agriculture occurred in the Neolithic Age, and with the development of social economy, China’s agriculture from primitive agriculture, experienced traditional agriculture, and then slowly developed to today’s modern agriculture. However, modern agriculture not only improves labor productivity and crop yield, but also brings serious ecological crisis and environmental pollution. Therefore, the new model of agricultural development ecological agriculture came into being. As an important element of ecological agriculture, biodiversity is of great ecological significance to the sustainable development of ecological agriculture. This article mainly expounds the development of ecological agriculture, the application of biodiversity in ecological agriculture, the loss of biodiversity and the protection countermeasures.

Authors: Kowalski Michał
Published: October 2024

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja zachowań wyborczych mieszkańców gminy Uniejów w wyborach parlamentarnych z 2023 r. w ujęciu lokalnym. Przedstawiono w nim podstawowe zachowania wyborcze (frekwencję, sposób głosowania i jego wyniki) w każdej obwodowej komisji wyborczej zlokalizowanej na obszarze gminy Uniejów. Na analizowanym obszarze w przeważającej większości głosowano osobiście w lokalach wyborczych (głosowanie korespondencyjne lub przez pełnomocnika było rzadziej wykorzystywane niż na całym terytorium Polski). Zachowania wyborcze mieszkańców gminy wykazują pewne zróżnicowanie przestrzenne pomiędzy miastem a obszarem wiejskim. Większą frekwencję oraz nieco mniejsze poparcie partii prawicowych obserwuje się w mieście. Jednocześnie ukazują trwałość przestrzennego zróżnicowania elektoratów.

Authors: Indrasari Widyaningrum , Hermanta Catur Anthony , Firmansyah Heri
Published: October 2024

This article develops a vibration monitoring system on the machine using the RS-WZ3 sensor, which is based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. The RS-WZ3 sensor can measure vibrations on three axes (X, Y, and Z), as well as the surface temperature of the motor. The MAX485 module and the ESP32 microcontroller transform the vibration data from the sensor into a digital signal, subsequently displaying it on a web interface accessible remotely in real time. Sensor calibration is carried out by comparing the measurement results of the RS-WZ3 sensor with those of the GM63A vibration meter, which shows good accuracy with an average error of 2.01%. Testing of this system shows that the RS-WZ3 sensor is effective in measuring and monitoring machine vibrations in real time, enabling more efficient predictive maintenance and reducing maintenance costs.

Zootropes in V.I. Dal
Authors: Mineeva Z. I.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. The article examines human nominations formed using animal names (zootropes) included by V.I. Dal in the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language”. This aspect of the analysis of the work, unique in its composition and volume of vocabulary, has not previously been the subject of research. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that Dal’s dictionary presents a real, living language used in a vast territory of Russia. The purpose of the study is an analytical description of the animal names used to designate and characterize, evaluate a person in Dal’s dictionary (19th century), as well as identifying nominations preserved in the modern language, according to the lexicography of the 21st century.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material is zootropes contained in the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language” by V.I. Dal: in the heading of the article, in the text and illustrations, as well as the latest version of the “Large Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language” of 2014. Semantic, comparative, word-formation and pragmatic methods were used.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. About 90 units naming animals (beasts, birds, fish, insects, snakes and reptiles) were identified, which native speakers in the 19th century used to designate humans. 80 % of them are included in the corpus of zootropes of the modern Russian language and are recorded in modern lexicography of the 21st century. As the analysis shows, the names of animals are used to characterize a person’s appearance, internal qualities and behavior, to express a positive, sharp negative assessment and abuse.

CONCLUSION. Zootropes of the modern Russian language constitute a significant layer of vocabulary that has absorbed traditional Russian ideas about their values. The most important condemned human qualities that are designated with the help of zootropes in the 19th and 21st centuries are greed, anger, untidiness and sloppiness, immodesty, and uncommunicativeness.
Value system as a basis for the construction of argumentation of the rhetorical genre
Authors: Anisimova T. V.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. The relevance of the research and its goal are formulated, which is to describe the hierarchy of values that are the basis of rhetorical argumentation and the main tool necessary to obtain the consent of the addressee. The final stage of this hierarchy is to establish the value basis of each rhetorical genre.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The subject of the study is scientific and political discourses, in which the most characteristic types of values are studied at all levels, using comparative, rhetorical and content analysis.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The concept of “value” in the meaning relevant to rhetoric is analyzed. It is established that the value system underlying rhetorical argumentation should be built separately for each type of discourse. It includes five main tiers reflecting the semantic dominants of the corresponding sphere of communication. The first level is occupied by universal values used in all spheres of communication. The second level consists of basic values reflecting the goals of the relevant sphere of public activity (institute). The third level is personal values, reflecting the required model of relations between the participants of communication, necessary for obtaining the planned result. Fourth level describes the values specific to each individual area of the relevant discourse. Finally, the fifth level is genre: here the main value, which is responsible for the unity and effectiveness of each rhetorical genre, is established.

CONCLUSION. The interrelation of all levels of the model and the role of each level in obtaining the planned result is shown.
Linguistic and stylistic and linguacultural features of the oral and written discourse “scientific conference” (based on the international conference on scientific communication)
Authors: Bagdasarova I. Yu.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. The analysis of the role of the language expressive function in oral-written scientific and popular scientific sub-styles is carried out; the objectives of the work are defined; the relevance of the study is substantiated, emphasizing the fact that the oral-written text of the scientific style remains insufficiently studied to date; stylistic characteristics of the studied genre are given and, based on this, a working hypothesis for the expected results is put forward.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study of linguostylistic expressive means is conducted on the materials of English and Russian speakers’ presentations of the annual scientific and practical conference of the Foreign Languages Department of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. In the course of the study, a comparative analysis of the approaches to report writing of two Englishspeaking and three Russian-speaking speakers was carried out using the method of continuous sampling of all stylistic devices in the speeches of the speakers at the conference.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Similarities and differences in approaches to speechwriting for a scientific conference between native and non-native English speakers are revealed. Almost all speakers actively use expressive language means regardless of whether they are native or not. The dominant stylistic devices are repetition, metaphor, and phraseological unit.

CONCLUSION. The results contradict the general idea of the normativity and strictness of this style. The approach to presentation texts writing is rather determined by the individual preferences of the speaker, the topic of the speech specifics and personal experience of participating in such events than by attachment to the status of a native or non-native speaker. Prospects for further research may include in the spectrum of analysis a larger number of samples of conference speeches and/or representatives of nonEuropean regions for a better understanding of the relationship between the cultural code and scientific discourse.
Development of the tradition of “zullisoinayn” in Tajik poetry of modern Uzbekistan
Authors: Hazratkuliyon D. F.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. In Uzbek literary criticism, the term “zullisoinayn” is used for poetry created in two languages. At one time, Alisher Navoi was a bright example of such creativity. The relevance of the study is due to its connection with the development of this literary tradition in the work of modern Uzbek poets. At present, the poetic technique of “zullisoinayn” of bilingual poets' poems makes a significant contribution to strengthening literary ties and the development of Tajik literature in modern Uzbekistan. The purpose of the study is to identify the significance of the work of Tajik poets in the development of the technique of “zullisonain” as a literary phenomenon that developed in the Middle Ages and has survived to this day, which is a symbol of literary friendship.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Using historical-descriptive, comparative and analytical methods, the specific feature of modern literary life in Uzbekistan is described. The research material was the works of famous poets, whose life and creative work are connected with modern Uzbekistan.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. An analysis of the factual material showed that the tradition of “zullisoinayn” is actively developing in the works of bilingual poets who write poems in the Persian-Tajik and Uzbek languages, especially after the Republic gained independence.

CONCLUSION. The poetic style “zullisonayn”, as an indicator of the traditions of national literature, is a symbol of the literary and cultural friendship of the Tajik and Uzbek peoples living in harmony on earth, and an indicator of the creative enrichment of both peoples, which is reflected in such phenomena of modern literature as literary bilingualism, poetic linguistic personality.
Archetypal plots in the media
Authors: Novichikhina N. V.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. Despite the comprehensive study and research of media texts, the presence of archetypal plots in the media has been little studied, has not been systematically understood, and requires typological structuring. The purpose of the study is to consider the existing classifications of archetypal plots and develop its own classification suitable for media texts.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Certainly, a number of researchers, such as J.L. Borges, V. Propp, D. Campbell, С. Jung, turned to the typification of archetypes in works of art. However, hardly anyone has studied them specifically in the media and modern information stories, while the reasons and materials for study are encountered almost daily and everywhere. Comparative historical and analytical methods were used in the work, which make it possible to examine the existing classifications of archetypes more closely and evaluate them.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The classification of archetypes has been studied and systematized, and a current classification of archetypal plots for modern media products has been given.

CONCLUSION. Archetypal connections are highlighted as the main ones: adventure, feat, transformation, denunciation, fate, wisdom. Having full knowledge of the varieties and manifestations of archetypal plots, a journalist can easily influence the audience, improving his material, making it more interesting and accessible, presenting complex topics simply and structurally clearly.

Risk factors influencing chronic inflammation in neoplastic transition to prostate cancer
Authors: Prakash Pranav , Verma Shiv , Gupta Sanjay
Published: October 2024

Chronic inflammation and its role in driving cellular plasticity have recently been documented as a significant risk factor for prostate cancer. The progression of prostate cancer has been linked to stages of inflammation-driven changes, ranging from simple atrophy to prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and eventually to low- and high-grade neoplastic forms. Long-term oxidative stress and the genetic damage caused by chronic inflammation are among the well-characterized risk factors in the development of prostate cancer. Both uncontrollable and controllable factors contribute to this transition process. Non-modifiable risk factors for prostate cancer include age, race, ethnicity, family history of obesity, and certain genetic predispositions. Modifiable risk factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, obesogenic habits, and microbial dysbiosis, may further elevate the risk of neoplastic transformation. Additionally, environmental pollutants, like chlordecone and nitrates, can interact with biological factors, potentially influencing cellular plasticity. These factors collectively contribute to an increased risk of prostate cancer and may facilitate neoplastic progression. Certain molecular markers have also been implicated in promoting chronic inflammation, enhancing cellular proliferation, and inhibiting apoptosis, thereby aiding in this transition. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the known modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors that contribute to the neoplastic transition in the prostate and elevate the risk of prostate cancer.

Understanding the relationship between service quality, service outcomes, and satisfaction in the spa industry
Authors: Sivapitak Sivanun , Sangpikul Aswin
Published: October 2024

Purpose – In a spa setting, customers expect to receive service outcomes (feeling better of well-being) after the service consumption. Service outcomes are important as they can affect customer satisfaction and repeat consumption in the spa industry. However, there is a scarcity of empirical studies to fully understand their relationships with service quality and customer satisfaction in the spa context. This research, therefore, has an objective to investigate the relationships between service quality, service outcomes, and satisfaction in the spa industry by using Thailand setting. Methodology/Design/Approach – Data were collected from 249 spa customers through a convenience sampling. Path analysis and structural equation modelling analysis (SEM) were used to test the relationship and the structural model. Findings – The study found positive relationships between service quality, service outcomes, and customer satisfaction. In particular, service outcomes were found to partially mediate the relationship between service quality and satisfaction. Interestingly, the influence of service outcomes (a mediator) on customer satisfaction was greater than service quality alone, suggesting another determinant of customer satisfaction in the spa industry. It was also found that service outcomes had a special feature because they were influenced by service quality, meanwhile, they also affected customer satisfaction. Originality of the research – This is the first empirical study to fully examine the relationships between service quality, service outcomes, and satisfaction in the spa industry. The study makes a significant contribution to the spa literature by verifying the special characteristics (roles) of service outcomes and their relationship with service quality and customer satisfaction.
Effects of foreign direct investment on climate change in the Asian region
Authors: Ehsanullah
Published: October 2024

Purpose ― This research aims to empirically investigate and compare the effects of foreign direct investment on climate change in five South Asian nations.Methodology ― This research uses yearly data covering 1980–2020 in five South Asian nations: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Vector Autoregressive (VAR) methods with variance decomposition and impulse response function provide the basis of the empirical data for comparison analysis. Findings ― This research shows that foreign direct investment's impact on pollution ranges from 1% to 10% in four countries and 16.13% in Pakistan. This indicates that in five South Asian states, there is little endogenous correlation between foreign direct investment and pollution. Furthermore, a shock to foreign investment improves the environmental conditions in Bangladesh and India while harming the growth of other nations.Implications ― The impact of foreign direct investment on pollution may vary based on each country's economic situation. Public efforts to enhance capital goods, education, health, and infrastructure are essential for reducing pollution and attracting foreign investment. Therefore, improved transparency and governance are essential for a positive relationship between growth and foreign investment.Value/Originality ― This research contributes to analyzing and comparing the effects of foreign direct investment on climate change in five South Asian nations using Vector Autoregressive (VAR) methods.
Intricate roles of estrogen and estrogen receptors in digestive system cancers: a systematic review
Authors: Gan Xiaoning , Dai Guanqi , Li Yonghao , Xu Lin , Liu Guolong
Published: October 2024

Gender disparities are evident across different types of digestive system cancers, which are typically characterized by a lower incidence and mortality rate in females compared to males. This finding suggests a potential protective role of female steroid hormones, particularly estrogen, in the development of these cancers. Estrogen is a well-known sex hormone that not only regulates the reproductive system but also exerts diverse effects on non-reproductive organs mediated through interactions with estrogen receptors (ERs), including the classic (ERα and ERβ) and non-traditional ERs [G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER)]. Recent advances have contributed to our comprehension of the mechanisms underlying ERs in digestive system cancers. In this comprehensive review we summarize the current understanding of the intricate roles played by estrogen and ERs in the major types of digestive system cancers, including hepatocellular, pancreatic, esophageal, gastric, and colorectal carcinoma. Furthermore, we discuss the potential molecular mechanisms underlying ERα, ERβ, and GPER effects, and propose perspectives on innovative therapies and preventive measures targeting the pathways regulated by estrogen and ERs. The roles of estrogen and ERs in digestive system cancers are complicated and depend on the cell type and tissue involved. Additionally, deciphering the intricate roles of estrogen, ERs, and the associated signaling pathways may guide the discovery of novel and tailored therapeutic and preventive strategies for digestive system cancers, eventually improving the care and clinical outcomes for the substantial number of individuals worldwide affected by these malignancies.
Ubiquitination in osteosarcoma: unveiling the impact on cell biology and therapeutic strategies
Authors: Shen Jianlin , Lai Yue , Wu Yanjiao , Lin Xuan , Zhang Cheng , Liu Huan
Published: October 2024

Ubiquitination, a multifaceted post-translational modification, regulates protein function, degradation, and gene expression. The pivotal role of ubiquitination in the pathogenesis and progression of cancer, including colorectal, breast, and liver cancer, is well-established. Osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone tumor predominantly affecting adolescents, also exhibits dysregulation of the ubiquitination system, encompassing both ubiquitination and deubiquitination processes. This dysregulation is now recognized as a key driver of osteosarcoma development, progression, and chemoresistance. This review highlights recent progress in elucidating how ubiquitination modulates tumor behavior across signaling pathways. We then focus on the mechanisms by which ubiquitination influences osteosarcoma cell function. Finally, we discuss the potential for targeting the ubiquitin-proteasome system in osteosarcoma therapy. By unraveling the impact of ubiquitination on osteosarcoma cell physiology, we aim to facilitate the development of novel strategies for prognosis, staging, treatment, and overcoming chemoresistance.
Metallized Sol–Gel coatings on ceramic glazes with photocatalytic activity
Authors: Monrós Guillermo , Delgado Carolina , Badenes José Antonio , Monrós-Andreu Guillem , Llusar Mario
Published: October 2024

Coatings of anatase (TiO2), hematite (Fe2O3), or cobalt spinel (Co3O4) on ceramic glazes with a metallized effect and photocatalytic activity were prepared by depositing Sol–Gel inks made from metal salts dissolved in a polyol medium, applied via conventional screen printing, and fired at temperatures around 800–900°C. A red–yellow color layer (L*a*b*= 84/11/21) was obtained in the case of Fe2O3, a dark greenish-yellow color (L*a*b*= 72/–12/11) for Co3O4, and a metallic gray color for TiO2 (L*a*b*= 97/–1/2) with a metallic luster appearance. Higher gloss was achieved for the TiO2 coatings at the optimal firing temperature. The microstructure of the layers, studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), shows that the heterogeneous nucleation of oxides from the inks supposes the formation of many nanocrystals that form clusters, also of nanometric size, growing parallel to each other and normal to the surface, following a film–glaze interaction model of nucleation, growth, and dissolution. The use of photocatalytic layers grown on the glaze facilitates the recovery of the photocatalyst, extending its lifespan and facilitating reuse tasks. The photodegradation test carried out with glazed samples on Orange II solution shows excellent photocatalytic activity in the case of TiO2 samples, with a half-life period (t1/2= 34.53 min for the optimal sample), comparable to P25 from Evonik used as reference powder. Fe2O3 coatings show moderate photocatalytic activity, with a half-life period of 146 minutes for the optimal sample.

Authors: Akkus Hakan , Özkan Engin
Published: October 2024

In this study, we define the k-Leonardo, k-Leonardo-Lucas, and Modified k-Leonardo sequences, and some terms of these sequences are given. Then, we obtain the generating functions, summation formulas, etc. Also, we obtain the Binet formulas in three different ways. The first is in the known classical way, the second is with the help of the sequence's generating functions, and the third is with the help of the matrices. In addition, we examine the relations between the terms of the k-Leonardo, k-Leonardo-Lucas, Modified k-Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo-Lucas, Modified Leonardo, Francois, Fibonacci, and Lucas sequences. Moreover, we associate the terms of these sequences with matrices. Furthermore, we present on the application of these sequences to hyperbolic quaternions. For these quaternions, we give many properties such as Binet formulas. Finally, the terms of the k-Leonardo, k-Leonardo-Lucas, and Modified k-Leonardo sequences are associated with their hyperbolic quaternion values.
