Neomythology in works of art
Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Maulenov A.A. , Matbek N.K. ,   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University
Published: April 2022

The article draws attention to the role of mythology in the literature of the twentieth century, particularly in postmodernism. It is asserted that the use of myth allows you to achieve various artistic goals: create images, convey relationships. It is noted that the mythological symbolism fits well into the process of formation of intertextuality as the main feature of postmodernism. The main statements are illustrated through the work of Ch. Aitmatov on the example of the novel “When the mountains are served” (“The Eternal Bride”). The writer uses mythological plot, which is transformed and acquires a new sound and meaning, corresponding to modern reality. In the modern world, the synthesis of mythology and realism has become an integral part of culture. These changes gave impetus to the search for new signs and symbols in the literary process. Myth, parable, legend have an active formative influence on modern prose, contribute to the appearance of images-symbols, images-metaphors, images-allegories. The myth, crystallized for centuries and even millennia of its existence in the minds of different peoples, people of different eras, gives the most vivid examples of life situations, eternal emotions – such as love, loyalty, hatred, betrayal, selflessness. Ch. Aitmatov’s mastery in this work consists primarily in the fact that the actual biblical events are pushed into the background here, as it were, and the author's main attention is focused on the study of the psychosocial state of the planet. The theme of Zoroastrianism is introduced through myths: the people believe that this is the only way to return the “Eternal Bride”. In the image of Ch. Aitmatov, myths change their structure. They become closer to modern life, synthesizing samples of the mythical creativity of the Kyrgyz people with the actual problems of our time, the writer creates a truly philosophical and psychological novel embodying the sacred covenant of the ancestors about love and protection of nature. Thus, the commonality between the symbolic image of Zhaabars and Arsen seems obvious, the writer turns to the origins of national cultures, to mythopoetic models of artistic thinking, deeply reveals the spiritual world of his heroes. In his works, Ch.Aitmatov through folk mythology was able to reveal the multifaceted symbolism of the meaning of human existence, preserved in the mythological consciousness of the people. It is no coincidence that the myth - making of Ch. Aitmatov became not only a school for Turkic writers, but also a moral reference point in the development of the mythological tradition. It is discussed the features of postmodernism at the final part of the article, its difference from other directions. The use of mythologems, their creative processing is evidence of the originality of the mythological thinking of modern writers.

Authors:   Abay Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Shmakova E.S.
Published: April 2022

This article is devoted to the analysis of urban topos and the author's worldviews that they reflect. The undertaken research is based on a semiotic approach to such concepts as text, urban text, city as text. The concept of «urban text» is revealed, a review of scientific sources reflecting the problem of the evolution of this theoretical concept is carried out. The main point of support in this study are the results of scientific research of Kazakhstani philologists devoted to the problem of urban text and, in particular, the «Almaty text». In the process of reviewing the scientific research of Kazakhstani scientists, cultural, philosophical, literary dominants that form and reveal the essence of the phenomenon of the «Almaty text» are identified. The authors analyze the texts of modern Russian-language prose of Kazakhstan, combined structurally and semantically into the system of the «Almaty text» and urban topos marking this system. The variability of urban text models based on the author's attitude to the depicted is investigated. The study presents the interpretation of the author's worldviews based on the theoretical calculations of Kazakhstani and foreign scientists exploring the concept of urban text within the framework of semiotic, structuralist and psychoanalytic approaches. The similarities and differences in the attitude of the authors to the depicted urban topos associated with certain historical realities, on which the author's worldviews are projected, are revealed. The relevance of the article is due to a comprehensive approach to the problem of urban, «Almaty» texts, built according to special author's models and reflecting the individual author's style and worldview. The formation of certain models of urban texts is based on the author's attitude to certain urban signs, topos, cultural codes. In the course of the research, the actual problem of gender differences in the worldview and worldview of authors is raised, affecting the creative manner of writing and, accordingly, the formation of the author's worldview, attitude to the surrounding realities.
Features of the transfer of ethnomarkers in translations of O. Bokeev’s prose
Authors:   L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Ternavskaya M.M. , Khamidova A.Kh. ,   L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University
Published: April 2022

The article analyzes the structural and other formal differences between the translated text and the original work. The discrepancy in the semantic relation is revealed due to the impossibility of translating individual elements of the original text, which is recognized as inevitable in the conditions of ethnocultural specificity, differences in sets of expressive means inherent in different languages. In addition, the translator's personality, experience and skills also influence the completeness and accuracy of the translation of the original work. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that since ancient times translation has been a source of necessary knowledge and the foundations of culture. The role of translation is to mediate between different cultures and languages. The value of translating a prose text is constantly increasing. This procedure, which consists in translating into another language what is contained in the original text, is undoubtedly a complex operation and requires appropriate skills. When translating prose texts, one should be guided, first of all, by the principle of communication. It is necessary to identify three important rules that should be followed when translating ethnomarkers of prose texts: information should be transmitted clearly and responsibly; the target text should be adapted for recipients; it is important that the translation can fulfill its role, that is, transmit information, taking into account the ethnic realities of the language being studied. The purpose of the study is to consider the role of ethnic aspects and problems in the translation of prose texts using the example of O. Bokeeva. This type of translation requires subject, language and cultural competence. This procedure creates special difficulties associated with various translation features. It should be noted here that statements devoid of socio-cultural context may be structurally correct, but inappropriate from the point of view of ethnic requirements. Тhe process of moving away from the perception of translation as an interlanguage system to culturally oriented aspects underlies the prosaic analysis of text translation. The absolute position of the original as a source of meanings extracted from the language should focus on the concept of equivalence. The structuralism of prose translation assumes that the main task is to determine the essence and conditions that generalize the behavioral characteristics of an ethnic group, as well as the context of the use of terms of its representatives. The practical significance lies in the analysis of the prose translation of O. Bokeev's works along with the consideration of the problems of the transfer of ethnomarkers.
Restriction of access to the Supreme Administrative Court to reduce its burden (via expanding the institution of inadmissibility of a cassation complaint in the Czech Republic)
Authors: Potěšil Lukáš
Published: April 2022

The article deals with the current change in the concept of a cassation complaint filed with the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic. The Supreme Administrative Court’s core activity is deciding on cassation complaints. They challenge previous final decisions of regional courts in the administrative judiciary. An amendment was adopted in February 2021. Since April 2021, it has been introducing (or rather substantially expanding) a certain “filter” of cassation complaints. This “filter” consists of restricting access to the Supreme Administrative Court, aimed at reducing the Supreme Administrative Court’s workload through cassation complaints. The essence of this “filter” is that it will be easier for the Supreme Administrative Court to reject a cassation complaint without dealing with it on the merits and in detail. The article briefly describes the realities of the Czech administrative judiciary and the reasons that led to this relatively controversial solution. The key reason was the growing number of cassation complaints and the related length of proceedings before the Supreme Administrative Court. The paper focuses on the analysis of the new legislation and an evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages it brings.

Counterfeit goods have become particularly crucial issue in the product manufacturing industry in recent years. This phenomenon has an impact on company sales and profits. This problem affects a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, jewellery, and cosmetics. We also recognize that in today's fast changing digital environment, smartphones have become both common and necessary. Various smartphone applications have been developed, allowing us to increase our productivity while also saving time. In recent years, several digital technologies have been introduced, such as QR codes, barcodes, OTP verification, call verification, and so on for detecting falsified products. However, due to reasons such as complicated functionality, easy cheating, and poor user experience, they were unable to implement these ideas on a large scale. A one-time QR code-based solution is used to ensure the identification of real products across the supply chain and at the consumer end, avoiding product counterfeiting. By using this system, consumers can easily differentiate between genuine and tampered or counterfeit product without any registration. The proposed system also helps the organization get data of the customers based on the region where their product is being sold. The given approach is quite scalable, fool-proof and cost effective as it uses centralized database, QR code generator and scanner.

Exploring Negotiation Pedagogy of EFL Writing Teachers in the Saudi Context
Authors: Almuwakkil Mai , Alshakhi Abdullah
Published: April 2022

This study aims to examine the challenges that face EFL teachers in applying negotiation for meaning pedagogy in teaching writing skill. To collect qualitative data, classroom observation and semi-structured interviews were employed as data collection methods whereas for analyzing the data, a thematic analysis technique was used. The findings of the study evidently suggest that negotiation for meaning pedagogy helps students to know their writing mistakes and correct them through oral interaction with teachers; however, it is difficult for teachers to apply this strategy in virtual classrooms for several reasons. The findings further suggest that it is not possible to use the negotiation for meaning pedagogy with low-level students. The final challenge that hinders the application of negotiation for meaning pedagogy is time constraints. Based on the findings, the study puts forward recommendations for EFL teachers and suggests further research on the subject.

Published: April 2022

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes between orthopaedic trainees using various preoperative training platforms (physical simulation [PS], virtual reality [VR], and reading/videos) in a slipped capital femoral epiphysis model.

Methods:

Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: (1) reading/video control group (n = 7), (2) VR group (n = 7), or (3) PS group (n = 7). Participants in the VR group completed a VR slipped capital femoral epiphysis module while participants in the PS group practiced the placement of a screw in the physical module before evaluation of percutaneous screw placement in the PS model. Outcomes evaluated included overall surgical time, amount of fluoroscopy, Global Rating Scale score, radiographic screw position, physical screw accuracy, presence of breeching of the articular surface or femoral neck, and overall platform rating (0 to 10).

Results:

No difference was observed in surgical time, Global Rating Scale score, radiographic or physical accuracy of screw position, or articular surface breaching between the groups. Subjectively, there was a difference in utility of platform rating between the groups (PS: 10 ± 0, VR: 7 ± 2, and control: 6 ± 1, P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

Training with VR was subjectively rated higher in value compared with reading/video methods and had similar performance outcomes compared with training with PS.

Published: April 2022

Data on global solar radiation is an essential input variable to many crop models from the process oriented crop models at field scale, to the land surface based ecological models at regional scale and the global circulation models. Here an attempt has been made to delineate four temperature based relations proposed by Bristow and Campbell (1984), Hargreaves (1985), Richardson ( 1985) and Goodin et al., (1999) for their relevance to the actually measured. Daily data on measured solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperatures at Patancheru location is collected for the period 1st Jan 2009 to 1st April 2011. Models performance has been evaluated using mean bias error, mean absolute percentage error, root mean square error and D-index of agreement. The comparative analysis revealed that among the four models Bristow-Campbell model estimated solar radiation comparatively with less errors and the estimated radiation values were most close to the measured values.

The emergence of data as an asset for firms in the digital era has raised several issues before competition enforcement authorities. This research article focuses on the role of data in platform markets. After discussing the significance and importance of data in the multi-sided markets and its procurement by platforms for their competitive advantage in the market, the authors point out the issues of network effects, economies of scale, positive feedback loop, etc., and how they create an entry barrier, ultimately harming competition in the market. The authors have also discussed the concerns relating to the definition of the relevant market in platform economies and the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) take on online and brick-and-mortar markets, tools used for defining relevant market, and how they are not very effective in this market. The final leg of the article discusses the impact of the data market on creating datapolies by amassing huge amounts of data and creating monopolies, making it tough for other players to survive or for new players to enter the market. The paper discusses the role of CCI, the European Commission, and other jurisdictions in tackling such situations, and the landmark judgements passed by them regarding these datapolies sums up authorities’ stand on tackling issues in the market mostly governed by data.

Introduction: With a high burden among pregnant women and children under five years of age, malaria infection remains a real health problem, for these vulnerable segments of the population. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of malaria infection in children aged 0-5 years attending the Moanda medical centre in south-eastern Gabon. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive and cross-sectional survey was conducted among children aged 0-5 years who came to the Moanda medical centre in January to December 2021, using the results of microscopic examinations (thick drops) recorded in the laboratory registers of the centre. Results: Out of 770 children aged 0 to 5 years registered for this study, 302 were positive for malaria infection, a total prevalence of 39.22%. With a mean age of 24.21 months, boys (415 cases, 53.90%) were more prevalent than girls (355 cases, 46.10%). While the 0-12 months age group was in the majority with 113 cases of malaria infection, i.e. 37.42%, the study showed no significant correlation between gender, age groups and malaria infection. The distribution of malaria infection by type of quater showed that it was more prevalent in the under-integrated (disadvantaged) quaters with n=182, i.e. 60.26% cases, than in the integrated quaters. The seasonal evolution of malaria infection according to age groups revealed two peaks, which represented periods of higher prevalence. The periods between the months of February and March, which are included in the short rainy season, and the month of June, which had the highest peak, corresponding to the long dry season. Conclusion: The prevalence of malaria infection in the study area showed seasonal variation during the study period. The results of this survey may be useful for a future update of the epidemiological profile of malaria infection in children aged 0-5 years. This may be essential to guide resource allocation, evaluation and prioritisation of malaria interventions at Moanda Medical Centre.

Günümüzde venöz port kateter sistemleri kanser hastalarının uzun süreli kemoterapi tedavisinde aralıklı infüzyon için yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu girişimsel işlemin uygulama yerine bağlı olarak enfeksiyon, hematom, kataterin kırılması, arter yaralanmaları, kateterin yer değiştirmesi, pnömotoraks, venöz tromboz gibi komplikasyonlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Subklavian venöz port kateter işlemi diğer anatomik alanlara göre daha fazla tek taraflı pnömotoraks riski taşımaktadır. Mide malign neoplazm tanısı olan 37 yaşında kadın hasta acil servise üç gündür devam eden bilateral yan ağrısı ve dizüri şikayeti ile başvurdu. Dört gün önce bilateral subklavian venöz port girişim öyküsü olan hastada nefes darlığı ve oksijen satürasyon düşüklüğü saptanmadı. Burada atipik klinikle acil servise başvuran, insidental olarak tanı konan iyatrojenik bilateral masif pnömotoraks olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık.

State and youth: the problem of civic education and possible solutions
Authors: Senchenkov Nikolay
Published: April 2022

The article raises the problem of the ineffectiveness of the youth policy implemented by the state on the example of the protest actions of January 2021. The authors consider the main directions and forms of implementation of youth policy, enshrined in the Federal Law “On Youth Policy in the Russian Federation», with the help of which the state activates young people for the development of the state. The position on the inconsistency of the thesis about the apolitical nature of youth is put forward and illustrated. The statistics of participants of protest actions at the beginning of 2021 among Moscow and St. Petersburg residents are presented and analyzed. The main age categories of participants in protest actions are highlighted, and the main reasons for protest activity are formulated. The opinion of the younger generation about the reasons for the transition to the opposition and adherence to opposition views is given separately. The authors also formulated a thesis about cooperation between the state and the younger generation. A separate emphasis is placed on the fact that the state needs to attract the younger generation to solve urgent socio-political problems so that young people feel their involvement in their resolution. In this regard, the authors demonstrate the need to move to new ways and forms of working with the younger generation in connection with the current socio-economic situation. In this way, the authors propose ways to form value orientations and civic education among the younger generation on the example of the Smolensk regional pedagogical camp «Sokol», held since 1989 under the leadership of professor N. P. Senchenkov.

Published: April 2022

Over the last decade, different genomes have been sequenced in both plants and animals. The lower cost of genome sequencing shows that it has a significant impact on the research community in terms of genome annotation. Genome annotations help us understand the biological function of the sequences of these genomes. Gene prediction is one of the most important aspects of genomic annotation and is an open research issue. This article provides a theoretical overview of soft computing technologies for gene prediction. First, I will explain the questions related to the problem of gene prediction. Next, before discussing its application to gene prediction, let's take a brief look at soft computing technology. A list of various soft computing technologies for gene prediction is also available. Finally, some limitations of the direction of current and future research are presented.

COVID-19 pandemic is a substantial challenge for healthcare systems. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests are considered the gold standard technique for diagnosis of symptomatic and asymptomatic infectious viral carriers and for screening special or at-risk populations. The pooled testing procedure is commonly used to reduce the cost of screening a large number of individuals for infectious diseases. This work was conducted to verify the accuracy of the standard SARS COV-2 RT- real-time PCR kit for detecting a single positive sample in a pool of negative samples. Kit verification using negative and positive samples was performed for the selection of the target pool sizes. RNA extracts from 443 healthcare workers, after 15 days’ rotation in EL-Raghy Isolation COVID-19 Hospital, Assiut University during the first outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic (the period from June to September 2020) were obtained and tested. Sixty-three different pool sizes (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) were tested for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 using RT-qPCR. Of these, 53 pools (84.1%) were negatives and 10 pools (15.9 %) tested positive. The individual number of SARS- COV 2 RT-PCR tests used in different pool sizes was 40 tests. The total number of SARS- COV 2 RT-PCR test used in this study was 110 tests instead of 443 tests which reflect a decrease in cost up to 75.16%. In conclusion, the suggested pooling strategy can reduce testing loads which enable substantial savings in reagent costs, technical burden, and time to generate laboratory results.
On Motivations for Southeast Asian Doctoral Students’ Studying at Japanese Private Universities
Authors: Futagami Tsuneji
Published: April 2022

It was investigated why Southeast Asian recipients of engineering or related fields studied at Japanese private universities. Scholarships were the most popular reason. The reasons that they liked Japan and that the research or education level at Japanese universities was high were less popular. About a half of questionnaire respondents had been to Japan before they studied at Japanese language institutes or at Japanese universities. More than ninety percent of respondents were interested in Japanese culture before they studied at Japanese language institutes or at Japanese universities. These implied that they had advance knowledge on Japan before they studied in Japan. Correlation analysis implied that Japanese anime or cartoons would be one of indirect causes of Southeast Asian doctoral students’ studying at Japanese private universities. Analysis of international students’ voices on Japanese private universities’ official web pages showed that one reason why they were motivated to study at Japanese private universities was interest in the Japanese language and Japanese culture. This is consistent with the questionnaire survey.
