Expressing Politeness/Impoliteness in Greetings through Paralinguistic Means
Authors:   Konstantin Preslavski University of Shumen, Aleksandrova Stefka
Published: April 2024

Verbal means used to express politeness/impoliteness are sometimes accompanied by non-verbal means of communication, which in certain cases and speech situations partially replace the verbal expression, or even drastically change the meaning of what was said. This study deals with the greetings which are commonly used in the beginning and at the end of verbal communication. Our attention is focused on the typical kinemes used in parallel to the speech act of greeting, such as gestures, facial expressions, postures, etc. The aim is to establish what etiquette kinetic signs (body language) were (was) used to express politeness/impoliteness while giving a verbal greeting in the beginning and at the end of everyday speech communication. For that purpose, we used a small portion of a survey conducted via web-based electronic form among 245 participants aged 18 to over 60. The results of the survey are presented in charts demonstrating the percentage of responses. The analysis summarizes the preferable kinemes used by the participants while verbally expressing politeness and impoliteness in greetings.
The Use of the Reflexive Possessive Pronouns свой, си in Standard Spoken Bulgarian
Authors:   INSTITUTE FOR BULGARIAN LANGUAGE, BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, Aleksandrova Tatyana
Published: April 2024

Current normative problems related to the use of the reflexive possessive pronouns svoy, si in the oral form of the Bulgarian literary language are considered. Attention is drawn to non-trivial cases of the use of reflexive possessives instead of possessive pro-nouns. Attention is paid to the competition between the two types of pronouns in certain types of syntactic constructions and the reasons for errors and hesitations are analyzed. Cases that present more complex semantic relations, encoded in the sentence as a linguistic unit, at the level of which the rule for the use of the reflexive possessive pronoun is manifested: sentences with an extended noun phrase, with nominalization by means of a verbal noun, impersonal sentences are examined and typologized.
Teaching and Learning Translation: From Methodological Reflection to Semantic Negotiation
Authors: Naji Hayat
Published: April 2024

It should be noted that the ultimate aim of translation is to reproduce a message from a source language into a target language; to say otherwise would be to be unfaithful to the translator's task. But to carry out the act of translation, it is often necessary to make modifications, rectifications at the level of surface structure and at the level of deep structure, so the translator tends towards equivalence and identity by adopting this formal, grammatical and lexical change. Thus, translation in this sense should be part of a real didactic reflection that engenders both linguistic and stylistic perfection, but most interesting of all would be to develop teaching and learning skills. In the first place, our research aims to address the question of semantic equivalence in translation. So, to say that a translation is good, the translator needs a cognitive and linguistic arsenal, he needs rather to reflect on his translation, to strike out, to cross out, and this brings us back to Gerard Genette's palimpsest. Secondly, we'll look at the proximity of translation, and see how Umberto Eco establishes the philosophical stakes of the exercise in the adverb "almost", thus paving the way for a perception that sees the process of translation as a continual negotiation, especially as today's translator is faced with a panoply of texts of different natures; so how does the question of semantic negotiation relate to the translating operation? Finally, if we accept that the translator is the master of his choices, whether he adopts one method or another, this means that he is master of his decisions and practices. So, is the translator's hand transparent? Does he or she not embody both the role of guardian and prisoner in the translation process? This calls for reflection on the role of the translator, hence the need to reconsider the role of information transmitters (translators) and their training in the field of teaching/learning.

Authors: Gazder Uneb
Published: April 2024

Transportation sector is among the largest consumers of fossil fuels, which also makes it a significant contributor to the greenhouse gas emissions. A great deal of effort has been made to reduce this reliance of transportation on fossil fuel for its operation. These efforts have resulted in innovations in vehicle technology which include vehicles operating on electric and hybrid energy. The advent of these technologies has showed the way towards new possibilities to further increase the efficiency of energy systems and their utilization. One such system utilizes the integration of electric vehicles with the national grid system, it is referred to as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. This technology provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to address the problems associated with the high demand and variable supply of renewable energy systems. This study provides a brief overview of the research conducted in this area, consequently identifying the opportunities and challenges related to this technology. Research shows that V2G integration has environmental benefits in the form of reducing CO2 emissions and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. In spite of this, the economic feasibility of this technology requires efforts for standardization, infrastructure expansion and smart charging strategies. This paper is expected to provide future direction of work for all stakeholders, including academia, industry, and governmental bodies. There are collaborative efforts required to standardize the vehicle and grid technology and infrastructure expansion, while the research needs to focus on optimization strategies. In the end, discussion on the implementation of this technology in Bahrain is also presented. In this context, it was found that the major challenges are due to the current reliance on fossil fuel and the trend of increase in car ownership which must be addressed before taking steps towards V2G systems.

Experimental Investigation of Sustainable Concrete Production using Blast Furnace as A Cement Substitute- A art of Review
Authors: Shankar G. Chitalkar
Published: April 2024

The pursuit of sustainable construction practices has led to a growing interest in alternative materials that can reduce the environmental impact of traditional concrete production. This experimental study focuses on the utilization of blast furnace slag as a substitute for cement in concrete, aiming to assess its mechanical properties, environmental impact, and overall sustainability. The primary objectives of this research are threefold. Firstly, the study seeks to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete by varying the content of blast furnace slag in the mix, with a specific emphasis on strength, durability, and structural performance. This involves conducting a comprehensive analysis of the concrete's compressive strength, flexural strength, and other relevant mechanical characteristics. Secondly, a life cycle assessment (LCA) will be employed to analyze the environmental impact of the concrete mixtures. This assessment will compare carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, energy consumption, and overall sustainability of the concrete produced with varying percentages of blast furnace slag. The LCA will provide valuable insights into the environmental implications of using slag as a cement substitute, aiding in the identification of eco-friendlier concrete production practices. Lastly, the research aims to assess the environmental impact of blast furnace slag itself when employed as a cement substitute. This involves examining the production, transportation, and incorporation of blast furnace slag into the concrete mix, providing a holistic view of its sustainability across the entire life cycle. The experimental approach involves the meticulous design of concrete mixes with different percentages of cement replaced by blast furnace slag. The varying mix designs will be tested for mechanical properties, and the data obtained will be used to draw correlations between slag content and concrete performance. In summary, this research endeavors to contribute to the body of knowledge surrounding sustainable concrete production by exploring the mechanical, environmental, and sustainability aspects of utilizing blast furnace slag as a cement substitute. The findings of this study are anticipated to provide valuable insights for the construction industry to adopt more environmentally friendly practices while maintaining or enhancing concrete performance.

Refractory epilepsy is characterized by the persistence of epileptic seizures even after adequate use of at least two antiepileptic drugs. This condition represents a significant challenge in the treatment of epilepsy, requiring a more assertive clinical and, in some cases, surgical approach. This study aims to review and explore the clinical and surgical approach to refractory epilepsy, highlighting the available treatment options, indications, benefits and challenges faced by patients and health professionals. This is a bibliographic review, using qualitative premises, with the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Scielo databases. To better refine the research, the health descriptors “epilepsy”, “surgical treatment”, “neurostimulation” and “refractory epilepsy” were used. The clinical approach to refractory epilepsy involves careful assessment of the patient, including a detailed clinical history, complete physical examination and complementary tests such as electroencephalogram (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) of the brain. The aim is to identify the origin of the epileptic seizures and determine the best therapeutic strategy. Clinical treatment usually involves optimizing drug therapy, with adjustments to the doses of existing drugs or the introduction of new drugs. However, in many cases, the response to drug treatment is unsatisfactory, leading to consideration of surgical options. Surgery for refractory epilepsy can include removing the brain tissue responsible for epileptic seizures (temporal lobectomy, focal resection, etc.), deep brain stimulation or other less invasive techniques. These procedures aim to reduce the frequency and severity of epileptic seizures, improving the patient’s quality of life. The approach to refractory epilepsy requires a multidisciplinary and individualized assessment, taking into account the clinical characteristics and specific needs of each patient. Although clinical treatment is the first line of approach, surgery can be a viable option for those who do not respond adequately to antiepileptic drugs. It is essential that patients with refractory epilepsy are referred to specialized centers for a complete and appropriate evaluation of their case.

Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina: Fourth Approximation
Authors: Schafale Michael P.
Published: April 2024

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's Classification of the Natural Communities, now in its fourth edition, is intended as a reference book describing the state’s biodiversity at the community and ecosystem levels. It describes natural patterns of organisms that typically co-occur together in a particular kind of environment. The classification draws on years of use and data collection by North Carolina’s Natural Heritage Program, the extensive vegetation plot data of the Carolina Vegetation Survey, and the National Vegetation Classification. The classification units are intended for detailed conservation planning at the natural community level, for representing the diversity of ecological function, for characterizing the habitats of species, and for contributing to the conservation of the myriad species that are too poorly known to track individually. The 343 community subtypes are grouped into types and are nested within 30 broader ecological themes that have been recognized in North Carolina for decades, retaining continuity with previous editions. Material to aid in identification of the communities includes concept statements, dichotomous keys, and descriptions of the distinctions from closely related communities. Extensive descriptions of each community and each theme include sections on physical settings, soils, hydrology, vegetation, range, abundance, and ecological dynamics, using scientific nomenclature and terminology. Crosswalks to the National Vegetation Classification and to NatureServe’s ecological systems and listings of rare plant and animal species associated with each community provide additional functionality. While technical in style—mostly providing scientific names instead of common names—this book can offer the educated layperson and scientist alike an expanded appreciation of the diversity of natural settings in North Carolina. It is expected to remain a primary reference for years to come.

Resource utilization inefficiency poses a significant barrier to enhancing food production in Nigeria. This research assessed the efficiency of resource use among yam cultivators in the Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria, through a study involving 100 yam farmers chosen at random. Information was gathered using interview schedules and a systematically organized questionnaire. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, gross margin analysis, and multiple regression models. Findings indicate that the mean age of the farmers surveyed was 55.35 years, with 60% boasting over 30 years of agricultural experience. A majority (84%) were male heads of households, and 85% were married. Approximately 63% of the participants reported having households of 6 to 10 members, indicating relatively large family sizes. Around 79% had received primary education or had no formal schooling. The average farm size was found to be 0.70 hectares, with 79% managing no more than 1 hectare, categorizing them as small-scale farmers. The research also uncovered that yam cultivation is financially viable, yielding an average gross margin and net income per hectare of N94,636.13 and N83,491.60, respectively. The primary challenges faced by these farmers include insufficient funding, inadequate storage facilities, and the elevated costs of planting materials. Consequently, the study suggests that the government should formulate and implement agricultural policies aimed at ameliorating these challenges to boost yam production in the region.
