Aspects regarding the integration of children with special educational needs through participation in physical education
Authors: CRISTEA DANA IOANA , MOȚOC IONUȚ , POP ANCA-CRISTINA
Published: March 2021

Background: ‪Special education offers ways to the best capitalization of the possibilities that children in difficulty may have. These children, and especially those with mental and behavioral disabilities, need additional, competent supervision from specialists. Children and young people with special needs (SEN) are included in social (re)integration programs whose objectives can also be achieved through sport activities. Material and methods: In the high school where the research was conducted, during the observational practice, students with mild special educational needs are integrated into mainstream education and participate in physical activities. Results: ‪70.40% of the secondary school students and 71.10% of the primary school students agree with the inclusion of students with SEN in teams with the other students in the physical education class, and 16.60% and 14.50%, respectively, consider that they should be relieved of effort, while 13% and 14.50% want to practice separate classes. Conclusions: ‪The results of the study show that students with disabilities can be integrated through physical education activities, being accepted and encouraged by their peers. However, the lack of specialized teachers raises certain barriers in achieving the integration of people with SEN.

Authors: GAJDA SZYMON
Published: March 2021

Innovation is widely recognized as necessary feature of progress in various areas of economy. It has also been supported by the EU and its Member States, including Poland. However, in the sport industry it has been visibly less exploited so far to achieve a market value. Literature quoted, hard and soft law documents legal analysis have been analyzed. Results: Although there are many existing examples of innovation provided by sport entrepreneurs, the regulatory system, by unclear regulations related to the most profitable kinds of innovation in sport, does not provide them equal stimulus as in other trade sectors. ‪This study shows lack of sufficient regulatory support to innovation in sport commercial activity in Poland.

Published: March 2021

Background: Community Health Workers (CHWs) have played a key role in the holistic care of sickle cell disease (SCD) in the developed world. However, in Nigeria and other African countries which harbour the largest burden of SCD globally, the poor involvement of CHWs in the care of individuals with the disease may be related to their knowledge about the disease.

Objective: To assess the adequacy of knowledge or otherwise of CHWs-in-training (students of School of Health Technology) in SCD identification, screening and crises prevention.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 600 students of the College of Health Technology, Ilesa, southwest Nigeria. A pre-tested self-administered forty-point questionnaire was used to assess information on what SCD is and how it is transmitted (6 questions); major clinical presentations (8 questions); ideal timing for diagnosis (7 questions); common methods of crisis prevention (7 questions); basic counselling of individuals with the disease (6 questions); and knowledge on the relevance of record keeping, home visit, immunisation and prompt referral in SCD care (6 questions).

Results: Only 239 (39.8%) had good knowledge of SCD in the assessed domains. Knowledge on crisis prevention including roles of record keeping, home visits, immunisation and prompt referral in SCD care was particularly poor. Age group, gender and course of study were not significantly associated with the overall knowledge of the disease.

Conclusion: The overall knowledge of Health Technologists-in-training in Nigeria on SCD is poor. Focused and comprehensive modules on SCD should be incorporated into the training curriculum of students in the Colleges of Health Technology in Nigeria.

Published: March 2021

In statistical calculations, drug abusers with the status of drug relapse in Indonesia reached 70% in 2019 (National Narcotics Agency: 2019). This condition illustrates that the social rehabilitation mechanism for drug abusers in Indonesia still has the opportunity to present shameless. Therefore, this study seeks to see the significance of Lifestyle-related shaming as an important part of the mechanism for implementing shaming for the shameless, especially drug relapse offenders in urban areas. This study was conducted based on the analysis of John Braithwaite's shaming theory which states that the public's response to perpetrators is divided into 2 (two) namely reintegrative shaming which means re-acceptance of the shameless by giving shame to them and stigmatization which means treating the shameless by giving a negative stigma permanently. The method used here was literature review by utilizing and trying to develop existing theories (grounded theory) by presenting concepts (variables) in accordance with the affordability of study data so as to produce new findings regarding the significance of Lifestyle-related shaming in its role for drug relapse offenders. Lifestyle-Related Shaming is part of a combination of reintegrative shaming theory, desistance theory and routine activity theory. In the literature study conducted, the combination of (3) three macro theories produces Lifestyle-related shaming which is closely related to urban lifestyle. It is expected that later, this study will be able to provide a broad understanding to the government to prepare the best program for solving shameless phenomenon, especially drug abuse in Indonesia. Furthermore, it is also useful in science as a basis for the application of shaming in Indonesia.

Authors:   Prince of Songkla University, Thailand, Fuchs Kevin
Published: March 2021

Information communication and technologies (ICT) as a facilitator of active learning (AL) in higher education is becoming an increasingly important tool. One of the most significant developments with the use of ICT in higher education over the last decade has been the integration and application of e-learning systems to support the processes of teaching and learning. The implementation of ICT into the classroom should not be seen as merely an add-on, but should be included with purpose: meaningfully implemented based on pedagogy. Despite the suggested power of ICT in educating students for a modern future, the implementation of these technologies into the classroom is not as widespread as expected; debate still abounds as to what role ICT should play in the classroom. This research examined a variety of dependable attributes that assessed the engagement of undergraduate students (n1=87) through virtual whiteboards. This quantitative inquiry revealed that students perceived virtual whiteboards as beneficial for their learning and improved their engagement level in the classroom. Furthermore, a correlation between the level of engagement and the year of study was revealed as the primary implication of this research.

La Psicología Evolutiva ha conocido a lo largo de los años desde que se constituyó como campo de estudio con entidad propia diferentes enfoques teóricos. A pesar del avance en el conocimiento del desarrollo humano no contamos con una teoría única que permita explicar la evolución de las distintas dimensiones psíquicas, afectividad, inteligencia, etc. De forma interrelacionada. Las distintas perspectivas teóricas representan diversas concepciones del desarrollo humano en cuanto a múltiples aspectos, papel de la herencia y del medio en la evolución, relaciones entre aprendizaje y desarrollo, etc., que sugieren preguntas que no tienen todavía una única respuesta. La presente investigación no es una revisión exhaustiva de todos los problemas planteados ni de las distintas perspectivas teóricas. Partimos de una temática, la de las aportaciones mutuas entre la Psicología Evolutiva y la Pedagogía, en la que convergen las preocupaciones de estudios realizados desde distintas ópticas, y de la selección de determinados aspectos de dicha temática general. Desde el punto de vista teórico, partimos de posiciones científicas personales que se incluyen dentro de una concepción constructivista e interaccionista. Hemos hecho, por tanto, hincapié en dichos aspectos, sin excluir, sin embargo, las aportaciones desde otras perspectivas. En la sección introductoria hacemos una presentación del estado de conocimiento de la evolución humana en las tres dimensiones, evolución cognitiva, social y afectiva y de adquisición del lenguaje.

Authors: Bushara Mohamed Osman Elamin
Published: March 2021

Background: Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk factor to health. A crude population measure of obesity is the body mass index (BMI), which is used to classify weight status, overweight is the person with a BMI of 25 or more, while a person with a BMI equal to or more than 30 is considered obese. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess public health students' perception on obesity &overweight health risks, clarify students' knowledge, behaviors and practices that increases risks of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate students Knowledge, Perception, Behavior and Practices towards obesity among students of public health in Umm Al-Qura University, in which 50% of students (136)were randomly selected using stratified sampling technique. Results: The study clarified that (69.9%) of students understand BMI-obesity relationship, while (30.9) didn’t know, the study showed that among 136 students,124 (91.2%) understand obesity -diabetes mellitus type 2 relationships. Likewise, 112 (82.4%) understand the relationship between obesity and hypertension. The study found that out of 136 students (72.8%) are aware that obesity is a risk factor for sleep apnea, referring t student’s practice of physical activity, study clarified that only 69.9%of students were practicing physical activity. Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a weakness in the perception and knowledge of students on BMI, study recommended for more concentration in academic activities to change this perception. The study concluded that the knowledge of students on major risk factors of obesity, relations of obesity with diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, sleep apnea, physical activity and weight control where acceptable. According to the study there were a problem in monitoring blood glucose and hypertension among overweight and obese students, which may be reflected in other health problems in the future. Recommendations: The study recommends for the introduction of extra educational and non-curricula programs on lifestyle, nutrition and obesity for public health student's, establishment of regular physical activities programs and strengthening of health education programs on overweight, obesity and other associated health problems inside and outside university campus. The study recommends for more researches to evaluate knowledge, perception, practice among public health and other students towards obesity.

Authors: Kamajaya Audi Putri , Aribowo Agus
Published: March 2021

For a bank, the depositors are the primary assets. Therefore, the bank should maintain a good relationship with them to be loyal to all efforts. If they are faithful, they will always keep putting their money in the bank. Therefore, the bank can execute the intermediate function properly. This study intends to examine the effect of perceived value and service quality on depositor loyalty. Consequently, the depositors of commercial bank H at branch F in Bandung become the population and the samples. This study also uses the Slovin formula, simple random sampling, and survey to calculate the samples, grab them, and accumulate the primary data. Moreover, the gathered data get analyzed by the structural equation model (SEM) based on variance. To sum up, this study proves that the perceived value and service quality positively affect depositor loyalty after examining the proposed hypotheses. To increase depositors to be loyal, the bank has to focus on elevating their perceived value and giving them superior service.

A Self-Supervised Deep Learning Approach for Blind Denoising and Waveform Coherence Enhancement in Distributed Acoustic Sensing Data
Authors: van den Ende Martijn , Lior Itzhak , Ampuero Jean Paul , Sladen Anthony , Ferrari André , Richard Cédric
Published: March 2021

Fibre-optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an emerging technology for vibration measurements with numerous applications in seismic signal analysis, including microseismicity detection, ambient noise tomography, earthquake source characterisation, and active source seismology. Using laser-pulse techniques, DAS turns (commercial) fibre-optic cables into seismic arrays with a spatial sampling density of the order of metres and a time sampling rate up to one thousand Hertz. The versatility of DAS enables dense instrumentation of traditionally inaccessible domains, such as urban, glaciated, and submarine environments. This in turn opens up novel applications such as traffic density monitoring and maritime vessel tracking. However, these new environments also introduce new challenges in handling various types of recorded noise, impeding the application of traditional data analysis workflows. In order to tackle the challenges posed by noise, new denoising techniques need to be explored that are tailored to DAS. In this work, we propose a Deep Learning approach that leverages the spatial density of DAS measurements to remove spatially incoherent noise with unknown characteristics. This approach is entirely self-supervised, so no noise-free ground truth is required, and it makes no assumptions regarding the noise characteristics other than that it is spatio-temporally incoherent. We apply our approach to both synthetic and real-world DAS data to demonstrate its excellent performance, even when the signals of interest are well below the noise level. Our proposed methods can be readily incorporated into conventional data processing workflows to facilitate subsequent seismological analyses.
Anxiety and Climate Change: A Validation of the Climate Anxiety Scale in a German-Speaking Quota Sample and an Investigation of Psychological Correlates
Authors: Wullenkord Marlis C , Tröger Josephine , Hamann Karen R.S. , Loy Laura , Reese Gerhard
Published: March 2021

The climate crisis is an unprecedented existential threat that causes disturbing emotions, such as anxiety. However, relatively little is known about how people cope with climate anxiety, how it influences mental health and well-being, and whether it is relevant for climate (in)action. Recently, Clayton and Karazsia measured climate anxiety as a “clinically significant anxious response to climate change” (2020, p. 9) that may impair human well-being and functioning. To gain a more nuanced understanding of the phenomenon from an empirical psychological perspective, we translated the Climate Anxiety Scale into German and assessed potential correlates in a large German-speaking quota sample (N=1011, stratified by age and gender). Overall, people reported low levels of climate anxiety. Climate anxiety correlated positively with anxiety and depressiveness, avoidance of climate change in everyday life, and the frustration of basic psychological needs. It correlated negatively with climate-relevant self-protective strategies and denial. While unrelated to ideological beliefs, stronger climate anxiety was associated with pro-environmental intentions and support for climate policies. We were not able to replicate the scale’s original factor structure. Thus, we encourage researchers to rework the scale and include an emotional factor in future research efforts.

Published: March 2021

This study is aimed at exploring the rationale behind academic mentor’s success, as mentoring is a developmental process involving capacity-building, knowledge transfer and employee retention in organizations. This paper is a conceptual study conducted with an extensive review of relevant literature on mentoring. The reviewed literature centres on meaning, forms and types of mentoring, qualities of a good mentor, stages and benefits of mentoring, challenges of mentoring, mentoring and academic excellence. This study was anchored on the descriptive mentoring theory by Kram (1985). The study found that regardless of how well a mentor and mentee fit together, either in form or in a positive way, the relationship should be professionally structured as well as considered and respected by both parties. The study also concludes that most successful mentorship usually evolve into friendship with both partners learning and providing support for each other. This paper contributes in the existing literature by examining the rationale for successful mentorship and ways to overcoming mentors challenges. No previous research has illustrated the ways mentorship could lead to academic excellence in Nigerian tertiary institution.

Published: March 2021

Universities world over mostly base their decisions to admit their new students on the applicant’s pre-university academic results. However, there is yet no concrete evidence that the students’ pre-university academic accolades determine their performances at university level. In this article, we explored the findings of earlier studies that examined the relationships between entry grades and the academic performance of university students. The study was undertaken to collate the literature on the relationships between the students’ entry grades and their university academic performance in order to validate earlier assertions, if any, as well as to identify opportunities for further research in this field. During the study, we carried out a systematic review of 59 articles that we drew from different online electronic databases including, among others, the Free Scientific Publication, the Worldwide Science.org, and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The majority of these reviewed studies were drawn from America and Europe. Only a few of them were conducted in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Of the 59 reviewed articles, only 53 of them met our inclusion criteria and our key findings showed, among others, that out of the 53 reviewed articles, 26, 4 and 13 of them revealed the existence of positive, negative, and mixed correlations respectively between the entry grades and the academic performance of university students. The remaining 10 articles, however, did not reveal any significant correlations between the two variables; instead, they alluded to the existence of difference in these relationships between male and female students; thus, suggesting for the need for affirmative action schemes. Overall, the study revealed that there is yet no consensus over whether pre-university academic performances of students predict their performances at university level; thus, indicating the need for further research in this field.
Sacral acceleration can predict whole-body kinetics and stride kinematics across running speeds
Authors: Alcantara Ryan , Day Evan , Hahn Michael , Grabowski Alena
Published: March 2021

Background. Stress fractures are injuries caused by repetitive loading during activities such as running. The application of advanced analytical methods such as machine learning to data from multiple wearable sensors has allowed for predictions of biomechanical variables associated with running-related injuries like stress fractures. However, it is unclear if data from a single wearable sensor can accurately estimate variables that characterize external loading during running such as peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), vertical impulse, and ground contact time. Predicting these biomechanical variables with a single wearable sensor could allow researchers, clinicians, and coaches to longitudinally monitor biomechanical running-related injury risk factors without expensive force-measuring equipment.Purpose. We quantified the accuracy of applying quantile regression forest (QRF) and linear regression (LR) models to sacral-mounted accelerometer data to predict peak vGRF, vertical impulse, and ground contact time across a range of running speeds.Methods. Thirty-seven collegiate cross country runners (24 females, 13 males) ran on a force-measuring treadmill at 3.8 – 5.4 m/s while wearing an accelerometer clipped posteriorly to the waistband of their running shorts. We cross-validated QRF and LR models by training them on acceleration data, running speed, step frequency, and body mass as predictor variables. Trained models were then used to predict peak vGRF, vertical impulse, and contact time. We compared predicted values to those calculated from a force-measuring treadmill on a subset of data (n = 9) withheld during model training. We quantified prediction accuracy by calculating the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).Results. The QRF model predicted peak vGRF with a RMSE of 0.150 body weights (BW) and MAPE ± SD of 4.27 ± 2.85%, predicted vertical impulse with a RMSE of 0.004 BW*s and MAPE of 0.80 ± 0.91%, and predicted contact time with a RMSE of 0.011 s and MAPE of 4.68 ± 3.00%. The LR model predicted peak vGRF with a RMSE of 0.139 BW and MAPE of 4.04 ± 2.57%, predicted vertical impulse with a RMSE of 0.002 BW*s and MAPE of 0.50 ± 0.42%, and predicted contact time with a RMSE of 0.008 s and MAPE of 3.50 ± 2.27%. There were no statistically significant differences between QRF and LR model prediction MAPE for peak vGRF (p = 0.549) or vertical impulse (p = 0.073), but the LR model’s MAPE for contact time was significantly lower than the QRF model’s MAPE (p = 0.0497).Conclusions. Our findings indicate that the QRF and LR models can accurately predict peak vGRF, vertical impulse, and contact time (MAPE < 5%) from a single sacral-mounted accelerometer across a range of running speeds. These findings may be beneficial for researchers, clinicians, or coaches seeking to monitor running-related injury risk factors without force-measuring equipment.

Recognizing Indigenous Rights in Canada: Property Rights and Natural Resource Values
Authors: Keay Ian , Metcalf Cherie
Published: March 2021

The recognition of Aboriginal rights in s. 35(1) of the Constitution Act transformed the legal landscape in Canada. In this article, we empirically estimate the economic impact of this transformation on the value of Canadian natural resource firms. We focus on six landmark Supreme Court of Canada precedents that are often viewed as having imposed significant economic effects on Canadian resource firms. We use event studies to test these claims, measuring changes in resource firms’ share prices on the Toronto Stock Exchange after each of the landmark rulings. A total of 2,110 firm events allow us to estimate market responses at the individual firm level. Our findings show that although the decisions triggered statistically and economically significant changes in the value of Canadian resource firms, these changes were not uniformly negative, and they varied widely in size across decisions, industries, and firm characteristics.
Revisiting Relational Pandemic Ethics in Light of the COVID-19 Abortion Bans in the United States
Authors: Reed-Sandoval Amy
Published: March 2021

The experiences of working-class people and those from communities of color seeking abortions in the United States before and during COVID-19 call for feminist, relational pandemic ethics. Françoise Baylis and colleagues argue for public health ethics that emphasize relational personhood, relational autonomy, social justice, and solidarity. COVID-19 abortion bans in the United States require vigilance against powerful actors who abuse these values—particularly that of solidarity—to further their political, religious, and/or economic agendas in harmful ways. Thus, efforts to promote solidarity during a pandemic must attend to social injustice and systemic oppression and provide resources to vulnerable people.
Trening metaleksykograficzny w globalnej rzeczywistości online – praktyczna pomoc czy archaizm w międzykulturowym procesie glottodydaktycznym XXI wieku
Authors: Poluszyński Bartosz
Published: March 2021

In this article, its author offers the practical considerations of a philologist, a linguist, a translation-studies researcher, and an eager modern-language academic teacher, regarding a range of contemporary technological solutions/tools for enhancing the acquisition of a foreign language (English). In particular, the author refers to electronic pedagogical dictionaries – the monolingual Dictionary.com, the bilingual Wielojęzyczny słownik polskiOFFLINE, and the semibilingual Słownik angielskiegoDiki, which are presently commonly used by young language learners. Such smart-applications developed for smartphones and tablets – in the author’s view – are remarkable tools for enhancing the complex language teaching and learning process, but – on the other hand – they do require certain methodological training if they are to bring a range of didactic benefits to their users. As the author perceives this notion, such a training regarding the smart dictionary applications – the metalexicographic training – should become the integral part of the modern language teaching and learning process, which may serve as highly beneficial to both smart-users of electronic dictionaries and their smart-teachers alike.

Poezja Natalii Liwyckiej-Chołodnej w tłumaczeniach Józefa Łobodowskiego
Authors: Choma-Suwała Anna
Published: March 2021

Cel artykułu to prezentacja poezji Natalii Liwyckiej-Chołodnej w przed-wojennych tłumaczeniach Józefa Łobodowskiego. Głównym założeniem jest wskazanie przesłanek, którymi kierował się tłumacz w wyborze utworu, przedstawienie właściwości warsztatu poetyckiego i omówienie dokonanych przez niego translacji. Natalia Liwycka--Chołodna (1902–2005) zaliczana do grona tzw. szkoły praskiej ponad 20 lat była związana z Polską. W Warszawie opublikowano dwa tomy jej poezji Вогонь і попіл (Ogień i popiół, 1934) oraz Сім літер (Siedem liter, 1937). W okresie międzywojennym jej dorobek był polskiemu czytelnikowi mało znany. Kilka tłumaczeń jej wczesnej poezji pojawiało się w latach 1934–1938 w „Sygnałach”, „Biuletynie Polsko-Ukraińskim” i czasopiśmie „Wołyń”. Ich autorami byli Tadeusz Hollender i Józef Łobodowski, który opublikował trzy prze-kłady: На розквітлі акації грона (Srebrny księżyc akację ogarnął), На розпуттях(Rue Racine) i На могилі (Nad grobem). Lubelski poeta sięgnął po utwory bliskie jego autorskiej poezji i poglądom politycznym. Omówione translacje są przykładem ekwiwa-lencji dynamicznej, charakteryzuje je energia i osobiste zaangażowanie tłumacza. Zwraca on uwagę na adekwatność semantyczną, ale nie rezygnuje z autorskiej poetyzacji tek-stu. W jego przekładach można odnaleźć wiele elementów mających na celu pobudzenie wyobraźni polskiego czytelnika.
Obraz ptaków mitycznych (Stratim i Gamajun) w wybranych wierszach Konstantina Balmonta i Aleksandra Błoka
Authors: Potyrańska Agnieszka
Published: March 2021

W twórczości modernistów rosyjskich często spotykamy mitopoetyc-kie obrazy rajskich ptaków, występujących pod różnymi postaciami i imionami: Alko-nost, Sirin, Stratim, Gamajun, Żar-ptak. Niekiedy określa się je ogólnie: „rajski ptak”. Przedmiotem badań są wybrane wiersze Konstantina Balmonta i Aleksandra Błoka, w których pojawia się motyw Stratima i Gamajuna. Naszym celem jest prześledzenie, w jakim stopniu rosyjscy poeci wykorzystują słowiańskie tradycje ludowe i odzwierciedlają je w swoich utworach oraz w jakim stopniu modyfikują odwieczne motywy. Rozpatrywanie motywów zaczerpniętych z mitologii i folkloru w wielu kontekstach dąży do ich herme-neutycznej interpretacji. Analizie poddany został poetycki język analizowanych utworów. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań wykazano, że tradycyjny obraz ptaków mitycznych w wielu przypadkach ulega poetyckiej transformacji, a ich podstawowa semantyka ulega przekształceniu.
Степеотипический образ современного мужчины в российских глянцевых журналах (на материале дурналов «Gq» и «Esquire»)
Authors: Wasiluk Joanna
Published: March 2021

Предметом нашего анализа является образ современного мужчины, который создается дискурсом глянцевых журналов. Основой для наших рассуждений послужила теория гендер, согласно которой коммуникативному поведению мужчин свойствен специфический выбор единиц лексикона. Следовательно мы сосредото-чили наше внимание на анализе лексических единиц и тематических групп лексем c цельюопределения, какой образ современного мужчины тиражируется глянце-выми журналами, учитывая тот факт, что стереотипный мужской образ выступает в двух вариантах маскулинности: гегемонной и естественной. Для того, чтобы выяс-нить, который из вариантов преобладает мы решили проанализировать материал журналов «GQ» и «Esquire». Данные журналы находятся в первой пятерке самых популярных ежемесячных журналов, адресатом которых являются мужчины. В нашем исследовании мы решили применить метод компонентного и контексту-ального анализа. В результате проведенного исследования мы сделали вывод, что образ мужчины, который создается дискурсом данных глянцевых журналов, является скорее стереотипным, но одновременно имеет отличительные черты, отражающие другие представления о современной маскулинности. Следовательно, происходит модификация образа мужчины.
Беларускае пытанне на старонках першых беларускiх газет «Наша Доля» („Nasza Dola”) i «Наша Нива» („Nasza Niwa”) (1906 г.)
Authors: Корбут Віктар
Published: March 2021

У гэтым артыкуле разглядаецца пастаноўка на старонках першай газеты на беларускай мове «Наша Доля», якая выходзіла ў Вільні ў верасні–снежні 1906 г., пытання аб нацыянальным вызваленні беларусаў у сувязі з іх сацыяльным вызваленнем падчас Першай рускай рэвалюцыі (1905–1907 гг.) у Расійскай імперыі. Аналізуюцца ўсе артыкулы, у якіх закраналася гэта праблематыка. Публіцысты «Нашай Доли» пачалі работу па фарміраванні нацыянальнай і сацыяльнай свядомасці беларусаў, падкрэслівалі неабходнасць аб’яднання рабочых і сялян усіх нацыянальнасцей у змаганні за нацыянальнае і сацыяльнае вызваленне як у Беларусі і Літве, так і ва ўсёй Расійскай імперыі. Для параўнання прыведзены прыклады публіцыстыкі з першых нумароў газеты «Наша Нива», якія выходзілі ў адзін час з «Нашай Доляй».
Religijna rzeczywistość Śląska doby wojen husyckich w oryginale i przekładach powieści Lux perpetua Andrzeja Sapkowskiego
Authors: Dziwisz Marcin
Published: March 2021

Tematyka niniejszego artykułu oscyluje wokół problematyki przekazu w tekście przekładu specyfiki religijnej rzeczywistości Śląska czasów wojen husyckich. Badana problematyka obejmuje sposób oddania w tekście docelowym autorskiej wizji róż-nych sfer życia religijnego, takich jak: kwestie wyznaniowe, obrzędy religijne, podejście do problemu dogmatów chrześcijańskich, podejście do miejsc kultu religijnego, przedmiotów liturgicznych oraz organizacji życia religijnego na Śląsku w XV wieku. Obserwacje pro-wadzone są na podstawie porównania tekstu oryginalnego z przekładami na język rosyjski i ukraiński. Głównym założeniem danego tekstu jest pokazanie sposobów przekazu lek-syki religijnej pomiędzy językiem polskim a językami rosyjskim i ukraińskim. Co więcej, niezwykle istotną kwestią staje się tu również problem transferu tego typu słownictwa na grunt kultur, w których dominują wpływy Kościołów wschodnich. Przeprowadzone badania pokazują, że tłumacz stosuje różne techniki przekazu leksyki religijnej. Można odnaleźć wśród nich: transkrypcję, a więc wprowadzenie zapożyczenia, uznane ekwi-walenty, zastąpienie realiów katolickich terminologią prawosławną czy też unicką, jak również nierzadkie przykłady opuszczania konkretnych elementów tekstu oryginalnego.
Linguistic image of an opposition journalist in the pragmatic perspective
Authors: Sładkiewicz Żanna
Published: March 2021

The paper presents the linguistic image of an opposition journalist in the pragmatic perspective, i.e. taking into account the dominant image-making communicative strategies. The author defines the concept of a personal image and presents a model for describing a linguistic image. The strategic and tactical organization of the linguistic image of an opposition journalist is analyzed on two levels: communicative and textual (content). The communicative component is realized through a wide range of self-representative, phatic and fasciation strategies aimed at attracting the target recipient and involving him emotionally in the implementation of the discursive principle of dialogism. The content component is implemented through the strategy of discrediting and tactics of nomination, intensification, reductionism, fragmentation, as well as modeling the socio-political reality in the temporal aspect. As a result, the image of a categorical critic, an expert, an intellectual and truth-teller is created.
