PHONEMIC BASIS OF THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET BY A. BAITURSYNULY
Authors: Amirzhanova N. , Absadyk A.
Published: October 2023

The study of the phonemic basis of the letters of the alphabet is an urgent problem. This is because it allows us to better understand the structure of language and its sound composition. The study of the phonemic basis of the letters of the alphabet is necessary for the correct pronunciation of words, as well as for the development of reading and writing skills. The phonemic basis of the letters of the alphabet in Kazakh linguistics originates in the works of A. Baitursynuly.  One of the good deeds of Akhmet Baitursynuly for the people is the creation of the Kazakh alphabet in accordance with the sound approach of the Kazakh language. It is known that the first Kazakh phonologist, who specially studied the system of sounds of the Kazakh language and compiled the alphabet, spent his entire adult life cleaning the Kazakh written language from the lexical, syntactic influence of other languages.  The phonemic basis of the letters of the alphabet is determined by the sound composition of the language. A. Baitursynuly is a scientist who first of all accurately determined the sound composition of the Kazakh language to create the alphabet. Therefore, the scientist's alphabet corresponded to the nature and laws of language. In this regard, the paper examines the phonetic and phonemic basis of the letters in the alphabet of A. Baitursynuly and it turns out the letters in the alphabet compiled were created according to a certain grammatical principle. It is established that the letters in the alphabet were chosen according to the phonemic principle and there are linguistic principles for obtaining signs, depending on the general, distinctive features of phonemes. In addition, the study reveals that the alphabet of A. Baitursynuly is formed depending on the systems of sound formation, pronunciation, and audibility, distinguishing not only a sign but also a sign with phonological content.
PHONOGRAM TEXTS AS AN OBJECT OF FORENSIC LINGUISTIC EXAMINATION
Authors: Taussogarova A. K. , Alisheva Zh. A.
Published: October 2023

The present paper is dedicated to solving problems at the intersection of linguistics and the legal sphere. In particular, the study presents the experience of linguistic expertise of phonograms in solving the issue of distinguishing the specific semantics of the oral speech of a suspicious person in connection with homonymic phenomena between linguistic units manifested in the judicial process. The process of using the PRAAT computer program to determine the intonation contours of a subject's word is described and the level of reliability in solving the task is assessed. To make an objective conclusion about the semantics of the subject's speech, which has the same sound composition, i.e. the same form, but can express different meanings depending on the features of the prosodic complex, such as intonation, voice intensity, duration, all his speech acts become the subject of research. In this regard, in the linguistic examination of phonogram texts, the method of linguopragmatic analysis is applied, which is aimed at studying the words of the direct addressee (speaking subject), the addressee (listener) and the nature (style) of their interaction, the speech situation, strategies, and tactics of the speech of communicants (addressee and addressee). The paper emphasizes the importance of scientific conclusions in the theory of language in the field of forensic examination.

CULTURAL VALUES IN THE CONCEPT OF NUMBER
Authors: Kurmambayeva Zh. B. , Ayapova T. T. , Schachl Hans
Published: October 2023

The numeral is an important object of study in linguistics and serves as a basis for demonstrating the cultural values, thinking and history of a nation. Each number conveys ancient cultural value, superstitions, cultural taboos and symbolic meaning through the conceptual system of language and linguocultural units. Since numbers have become the most important object in linguistics, these numbers with linguistic and cultural codes should be explored more through the conceptual system of language. The numbers include metric vocabulary, quantitative and numbering vocabulary. Moreover, numbers can be considered as the bearers of cultural information. Having learned the cultural meaning of numbers, one can get acquainted with traditions and ancient customs of a nation and their beliefs. This article draws attention to the most valuable information about numbers, starting with “1” and further about the culture, superstitions and ancient culture of people. The importance of studying phraseological unities with numbers from an ethnocultural point of view is also shown.

Published: October 2023

The validity of published research findings is related to their demand from both investors and issuers and from the side of research scientists. The methods used make it possible to determine the general trend of market movement in the direction of increasing or decreasing its efficiency. For investors, such an assessment of the efficiency of the stock and bond markets creates a basis for optimizing the allocation of assets when building portfolio strategies, and for issuers, it is the basis for building a strategy for emission activity. It is necessary to analyze the factors affecting the efficiency of the Ukrainian market and show that the illiquidity of the Ukrainian bond and stock markets has a negative impact on the overall efficiency of the market, and therefore it is necessary to increase liquidity, which is an important factor for improving the efficiency of the market. The analysis of the efficiency of stock and bond markets is presented as an impact on the markets themselves. For research scientists, the predictability of returns, or the lack of such predictability, is critical to creating models that can accurately describe risks and returns in financial markets.The paper proposes a different approach to the study of stock market efficiency, using a time-varying parameter model that can estimate indicators, efficiency and inefficiency as parameters change.

Tot i la seva àmplia aplicació, la realització de les activitats d’aprenentatge basat en projectes i en problemes (ABP) encara suposa diversos reptes. El disseny de l’activitat i els processos d’avaluació i de seguiment que comporta destaquen entre els aspectes més complexos de la metodologia. Aquest treball aporta una experiència de suport al professorat per millorar els sistemes d’avaluació i de seguiment de l’ABP en l’àmbit cientificotècnic. Per fer-ho es varen recollir les eines d’avaluació i de seguiment utilitzades a les activitats d’ABP més representatives dels diferents graus de la facultat. Les eines recollides es van integrar entre elles generant eines noves més completes (tres rúbriques i dues escales de valoració). Aquestes eines es van aplicar a activitats d’ABP, i el professorat responsable (n = 11) va valorar la seva percepció sobre la manera com funcionaven. Els resultats obtinguts indiquen que el professorat participant va percebre un millor funcionament de les eines generades comparades amb les utilitzades originàriament, destacant- ne la compleció, l’adaptabilitat i l’agilitat d’ús. L’estudi suggereix que el suport en el disseny d’eines podria revertir en la millora del procés de seguiment i avaluació de les activitats d’ABP fent-lo més àgil, objectiu, sistemàtic i eficient.

Authors:   Institute for Neurosciences, St. Luke’s Medical Center, Quezon City, Philippines, Dy Jon Stewart
Published: October 2023

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy – Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (PMLIRIS) is the subacute onset of neurological deficits that appeared or was exacerbated after initiation antiretroviral therapy (ART) for treatment of PML. It is due to severe neuroinflammation with re-establishment of immuncompetence. Approximately 25% of patients with HIV and PML develop IRIS. Clinical trials on the treatment of PML-IRIS is lacking with only limited evidence supporting the use of investigative therapies such as corticosteroids and Maraviroc. We report a case of a 36-year old Filipino male, known hypertensive and diagnosed with HIV, who presented with memory problems. He was eventually treated as a case of PML-IRIS on the 3rd week after initiation of ART. He was treated with a course of intravenous Dexamethasone, oral Mefloquine and intravenous immunoglobulin, and ART was continued. Clinical outcome in our patient shows an overall improvement of symptoms and no deterioration of neurologic deficits.

Madhya Pradesh (MP) state in India had practiced focussed vaccination against Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) from 2006-07 to 2015-16 and adopted PPR-Control Programme (PPR-CP) with 100% coverage during first year followed by 30% bi-annual vaccination for two years since 2016-17. This study evaluated the impact of PPR-CP using secondary data and cross-sectional survey data collected from 410 and 340 flocks before (during 2015-16, survey-I) and after PPR-CP implementation (during 2018-19, survey-II), respectively. Besides the incidence and disease cost, Incremental Benefit Cost Ratio (IBCR) was calculated to assess the financial viability of PPR- CP implementation in MP state under actual vaccination coverage after PPR-CP (scenario-I) and as per defined PPR-CP strategy (scenario-II). The number of PPR affected flocks declined significantly from 14.9% to 4.6% and the disease incidence declined from 27.5% to 10.2% in sheep and 18.8% to 0.64% in goats, in survey-I and II, respectively. The projected loss before and after PPR-CP was ` 3260 million (` 326 crore) and ` 476 million (` 47.6 crore), respectively. Financial viability of PPR-CP revealed an IBCR of 69.8:1 and 39.4:1 under scenario-I and II, respectively. Estimated incremental benefits outweighed the incremental cost in both vaccination scenarios, however, as per current vaccination plan (scenario-I), no fresh cases were reported for two years following PPR-CP, but reoccurred during 2019-20, as the state did not comply with PPR-CP Strategy. Therefore, selecting the right vaccination strategy and its diligent implementation may aid in eradicating PPR by 2030 in India in line with PPR global strategy.

Confidence and Expectations Among Parents of and Students with Visual Impairments
Authors: Cmar Jennifer L. , Steverson Anne
Published: October 2023

Introduction

Early work experiences and education level predict future employment for students with visual impairments, but many neither work in high school nor obtain a college degree. A research team developed 4to24, an application (app) for students with visual impairments and their parents, to support students’ transitions to employment, beginning in preschool. The purpose of this study was to explore parents’ and students’ confidence and expectations before and after using the app for six months.

Method

The sample was comprised of 24 parents of children with visual impairments and 19 students with visual impairments. Participants rated their confidence in their child’s or their own skills in seven domains and reported their expectations for future education, employment, and independence. We used descriptive statistics to summarize participants’ confidence and expectations, and we examined changes in these measures over time.

Results

After using 4to24, participants increased their confidence significantly in three areas: community travel, using public transportation, and self-care. Frequency of app use coincided with increased confidence in several domains and with increased expectations for educational attainment.

Discussion

The results provide initial evidence of associations between app use and increases in confidence and expectations for future postsecondary education; however, we cannot draw conclusions about causality from this exploratory study.

Application for Practitioners

The 4to24 app provides free information, resources, and activity suggestions directly to students and parents. It can be beneficial for encouraging collaboration with practitioners, promoting high confidence and expectations, and reinforcing students’ skills.

High-level customer service, with improved quality at a lower cost, is imperative in today's global supply chain, where customers have myriad options across borders. This is in line with the primary objective of supply chain management, which is to enable and deliver high-level customer service with lower costs, reduce lead time, and improve the quality of products/services. The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model based on KPI metrics enables an increase in the quality of products/services by monitoring and digitalising involved processes. The current paper suggests the structure of the SCOR database for Supply Chain process improvement by applying the best practices of the SCOR for Business Processes improvement. We recommend the Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) methods to estimate the influence of these improvements on Supply Chain efficiency through key performance indicators before implementation. Integrating the methods proposed in this article focuses on an approach that minimises supply chain failures, decreases failure elimination time, understands consumer needs, and offers more accurate price proposals and lead times to improve customer satisfaction. Accordingly, the integrated SCOR-based Business Process Modelling (BPM) was not previously combined with BBN to identify the most efficient ways to improve the reliability of a Supply Chain by applying best practices, which impacts the entire supply chain. Our research is limited to SME companies in electronics manufacturing, but our ambition is to develop a universal framework suitable for broader areas. The study aims to analyse how the customers see the company by combining the CDA (Customer Delivery Accuracy) and Customer Complaints measures and find the optimal way to improve business processes by applying best practices. Still, it is limited to SCOR reliability performance metrics.

This research has offered an extended signaling theory model, which has extended the body of corporate social responsibility (CSR) knowledge in the existing literature. This research examines the association between CSR and brand experience, corporate reputation, brand personality, brand loyalty & consumer trust. The mall intercept control group was used to carry out this research. For the data analyses, we employed an SEM-based multivariate approach and assisted the formulated hypotheses from respondents of smartphone users. The study's outcomes show that brand personality, corporate reputation, and brand experience positively influence consumer trust. The outcomes further demonstrated that corporate social responsibility significantly and positively impacts personality, brand loyalty, and customer trust. This research also examined the mediating effect of brand personality between corporate reputation and brand loyalty and between corporate reputation and consumer trust. Moreover, the mediation of brand personality between CSR and brand loyalty and between CSR and consumer trust. The outcomes demonstrate that brand personality mediates brand loyalty and corporate reputation loyalty relationship, consumer trust, and corporate reputation relationship. However, brand personality does not mediate CSR and brand loyalty and CSR and consumer trust relationships. This research has important managerial and theoretical implications for industry practitioners and scholars.

Published: October 2023

The research object is the media content of architecture and urban spaces, which is important for designing modern architecture and integrating it into the existing environment. It is established that the ability of an architectural environment to transmit information and be a communication element allows considering it as a language. Media architecture includes the whole complex of elements, the relationship of which translates a specific idea or demonstrates its absence. Analyzing the informative essence of a city as its language has a number of advantages. Firstly, in this study, the language of a city is considered as a model of its ability to be a carrier of information. Secondly, this approach depicts the communicative properties of urban space best. Thirdly, speech has a direct connection with a person's consciousness, cognitive skills, and manifests itself through the interpretation of certain information by a person. Given this, it can be argued that this study is relevant in clarifying the issues of limiting and structuring information in the environment of a modern city. The theory of media in the architectural environment is based on the analysis of existing examples of media formation at three hierarchical levels: urban space, an architectural object, and a finishing element. This study is conducted in the example of the city of Lviv. Material and mental aspects of media, which form the informative essence of an object or space and directly affect its perception by a person, are identified. This leads to the division of the essence of media architecture and urban spaces into material and mental components. A methodology for analyzing architecture and spaces using a media-linguistic approach, which includes six stages of analysis, has been developed. The application of this approach in design will allow moving from a chaotic environment to creating a conceptual anthropocentric space.

Published: October 2023

Today's threats and crises are about climate change and its consequences. Therefore, the target towards Net Zero Emission (NZE) in 2060 must be an obligation in all countries. A Green Building (GB) is a building that meets Building Technical Standards and has significant measurable performance in saving energy, water, and other resources. Applying GB principles by function and classification at each implementation stage will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to analyze the cost of improvements based on GB assessment, where these improvements are the factors affecting the implementation of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) regulations from the Indonesian government. The Technical Guidelines for GB Performance, through the Minister of PUPR No.1 of 2022 Republic of Indonesia, is the latest regulation used as the GB concept. Implement Blockchain-BIM and  GB using Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) for the analysis. By applying Blockchain-BIM to overcome cost constraints, it has been found that it is possible to increase GB's cost-performance ratio in the retail and commercial estate to 3-3.8% at the basic level, while compared with other ratings is higher up to 2.1%, at which the choice of renewable energy model has a great influence.

Published: October 2023

Background: Previously laid down criteria for lesional stability of vitiligo are inconsistent. Longitudinal data on correlation between dermoscopic features of vitiligo and disease activity is limited.
Objective: To sequentially determine the dermoscopic features of vitiligo and to assess their association with the dynamic nature of the vitiligo patch.
Methods: Sixty patients with 200 vitiligo patches fulfilling the inclusion criteria on medical therapy were subjected to sequential clinical and dermoscopic examination for 6 months. Baseline lesional photographs, dermoscopy and tracing of the patch was made and repeated at 6 months. The follow up tracing was superimposed onto the baseline tracing. Based on the increase or decrease in size, their outcomes were grouped as responsive, progressive and quiescent. Paired analysis of dermoscopic features was done between baseline, and their follow up after 6 months.
Results: Well defined border was associated with static nature of the vitiligo patch and ill-defined borders and trichrome pattern depicted its dynamic nature. Statistically significant increase in leukotrichia and satellite lesions amongst progressive patches and a decrease amongst responsive patches was observed. Pigment network changes were statistically significant for both responsive and progressive patches. Satellite lesions and micro-Koebner’s phenomena was suggestive of progressive disease, while perifollicular pigmentation and perilesional hyperpigmentation was suggestive of repigmenting disease and proved to be an early marker for response to therapy.
Conclusions: Repeated dermoscopic evaluation of lesions in a serial manner to assess disease activity helps understand their evolving nature and is a valuable tool in planning appropriate further treatment.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with a photosensitizer is available for the treatment of multiple actinic keratoses (AKs) in a restricted skin area or, as it is established, for the field-cancerized skin.
Objectives: Our review aims to present the up-to-date literature on skin field cancerization using PDT employing different topical photosensitizers, modified light delivery protocols and combination treatments to obtain excellent efficacy and safety in everyday clinical practice.
Methods: We sought PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, OVID, Embase, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Research Gate and Google Scholar for [(aminolevulinic acid OR aminolevulinate) AND photodynamic therapy] with (field-directed OR field cancerization, (actinic keratosis), and (efficacy OR effectiveness OR pain OR tolerability) for studies published until February 2023.
Results: Advantages of PDT compared to the other field treatments, including imiquimod, 5-fluorouracil, ingenol mebutate gel and diclofenac, reported better cosmetic outcomes and greater patient satisfaction. On the other hand, some drawbacks of field PDT include pain and treatment duration. Alternate illumination methods have also been investigated, including daylight as a light source. Pretreating the affected area may enhance photosensitizer absorption leading to better therapeutic results, while combinational treatments have also been tested. Patients prefer daylight PDT to traditional light sources since it is more well-tolerated and equally effective. Even as a preventive treatment, field PDT yields promising outcomes, especially for high-risk individuals, including organ transplant recipients.
Conclusion: This review provides a thorough display of the field of PDT on cancerized skin, which will facilitate physicians in applying PDT more efficiently and intuitively.
