Мовний вияв мовчання й тиші в «Лісовій пісні» Лесі Українки
Authors: Романюк Людмила
Published: June 2020

The article considers the concept of silence as a non-verbal means of communication, focusing on the peculiarities of silence revelation in the dramatic text and accounting for the multidimensional nature of this phenomenon.

 The basic lexemes range of the concept of silence in Lesia Ukrainka's drama-fairy tale Forest Song is in the focus of the research. The study elucidates the linguistic reflection specifics of this concept in the drama and determines the communicative preconditions of it, the semantic structure and the stylistic functions of the lexemes expressing the state of muteness or silence. To convey the notion of silence in drama “Forest Song” Lesia Ukrainka uses the following grammatical classes of lexemes: nouns (silence, in silence, pause, stillness, muteness); adverbs (silently, keeping silent); verbs in the present simple tense (keeps silence, contemplates, interrupts, ponds, calms down, etc.). The lexemes denoting silence are attributed by adjectives that semantically specify them: short silence, long silence. Voicelessness is also rendered by kinesics components. For example: shrug, turn away, and so on.

The peculiarity of manifestation of silence in the dramatic text is, first of all, the fact that it is actualized not only in replicas of actors but also in the author's remarks. The study has revealed that the phenomenon of silence is closely related to the features of emotional stress. Lesia Ukrainka's characters are experiencing different emotional states accompanied by silence.

Nature in the “Forest Song” is personified. It lives in the symbolic images of the play. They are primarily the subjects of fauna and flora. Lesya Ukrainka’s “Silence of Nature” renders silence as stillness with the help of verbs sleeps, calms down, dies; adverbs: quieter, silently, quietly. The writer semantically expands the descriptive patterns of «silence» with such tokens: complete silence, completely calm, completely silent, deep northern silence. Lexical elements that spell out the absence of verbal communication convey different emotional states of heroes. Nonverbal communication means in Lesia Ukrainka's drama fall into the category of frequent elements with distinct compositional and semantic loading.

The Rise of Spiritual Tourism in South Asia as Business Internationalization
Authors: Haq Farooq Muhammad , Medhekar Anita
Published: June 2020

Globalization and digitization are motivating organizations around the world to manage and internationalize their products and services. Adaptively, most Asian companies are internationalizing their businesses with respect to various industries; one obvious example is the tourism industry. The global tourism industry can be segmented into niche types such as heritage tourism, dark tourism, medical tourism, including spiritual tourism. The objective of this paper is to analyze the rise of spiritual tourism in South Asian countries and discusses its operations that are internationalized rather than being region-centric or locally focused. It is argued that that public and private tourism operators in South Asia have realized that spiritual tourism presents an attractive product to invest and market based on people, places, and events. However, the challenge is to internationalize multi-faith spiritual tourism in the context of people, places, and events that would be the only way to develop and sustain this niche segment of the tourism business. It is argued that there are various factors that could enable South Asian countries to effectively internationalize their spiritual tourism destinations. The paper concludes that business internationalization of South Asian spiritual tourism, will not only achieve economic development objectives, but also social and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and bi-lateral diplomatic goals for regional peace and prosperity

Asphalt modification by adding fiber powder of banana stem can be implemented to improve the performance of pure asphalt. Asphalt concrete binder course AC-BC is a flexible pavement layer that functions to distribute the load towards the foundation layer. So it really needs strength, durability and stability of the materials. For that, it is necessary to use asphalt modification with fiber powder of banana stem which is used as a binding material in AC-BC asphalt concrete mixture. The proper percentage of modified asphalt level will determine the optimum quality of an asphalt mixture. Asphalt concrete specimens were made in 3 (three) samples for each variation of asphalt level by 5%; 5.5%; 6%; 6.5%; and 7%. The asphalt optimum level in the mixture is carried out through volumetric investigation in the form of VMA, VIM, and VFB values and mechanical assessment in the form of stability, flow and Marshall Quetient. The results of data analysis found that the value of VIM, stability and MQ tend to decrease with increasing levels of modified asphalt. On the other hand the value of VMA, VFB and flow tend to rise with increasing levels of modified asphalt. However, from the five variations of asphalt levels obtained asphalt levels of 5% and 5.5% which meet all the specifications of AC-BC asphalt concrete specification. To determine the asphalt optimum level, the average of qualified asphalt level is taken. So that the asphalt concrete AC-BC will produce a better structural performance at 5.25% asphalt level with banana stem fiber powder on asphalt by 0.1%.

Pandemia COVID-19: Impacto (Também) na Cardiologia
Authors: Oliveira Mário
Published: June 2020

A pandemia COVID-19 implicou profundas e rápidas mudanças no funcionamento dos serviços de saúde. A suspensão da atividade eletiva no período de confinamento e a redução significativa das idas às urgências hospitalares, condicionada pelo receio de contágio COVID-19, levaram ao adiamento do tratamento de situações cardiovasculares potencialmente graves, apesar do normal funcionamento da via verde coronária e do acidente vascular cerebral (AVC). Estes fatores facilitaram a descompensação de diferentes patologias, contribuindo provavelmente parao aumento da mortalidade na população idosa em Portugal durante a pandemia. O artigo sublinha a importância de manter a sociedade informada sobre a necessidade de recorrer às urgências hospitalares, de forma a permitir a intervenção atempada e maior benefício no tratamento do enfarte do miocárdio e AVC.

Published: June 2020

Recently, the zebrafish has gained in popularity as a vertebrate animal model for biomedical research. Commercial zebrafish housing systems are available and are designed to maximize stocking density of fish for a given space, but these systems are expensive and purchasing them may
not be feasible for emerging laboratories with limited funding. In this article, we describe the construction of a simple and affordable recirculating zebrafish housing system. This system can be constructed in 3 working days, with materials readily available in hardware stores. The cost for
construction of the system was only 3,000 MYR (750 USD). The system consists of a water reservoir, a supply line that delivers water to the shelves holding the zebrafish tanks, and a drainage line that receives water from both the supply line and the shelves containing the fish tanks and returns
this water to the reservoir. This system also has a 3-stage filtration process to ensure that clean water is delivered to the zebrafish tank. The system can house up to 360 zebrafish. This low-cost housing system may make research using zebrafish feasible some laboratories.
Assessing Preservice Teachers’ Cultural Competence With the Cultural Proficiency Continuum Q-Sort
Authors: Cormier Dwayne Ray
Published: June 2020

This article describes an educational design research program situated within a professional development school that led to the development of the Cultural Proficiency Continuum Q-Sort (CPCQ). The CPCQ is a tool that enables teacher educators to systematically examine preservice teachers’ cultural competence concerning students who are minoritized, marginalized, and otherized within PreK–12 schools. The author provides background and rationales for the need of the CPCQ together with a discussion of the educational design research program that facilitated the design of the CPCQ. Findings for this study are discussed discursively addressing the following question: (a) What are the rationales and chain of decisions that warranted advancing the development of the CPCQ through each phase of an educational design research program? and (b) What are participants’ perceptions of the emerging tool’s effectiveness for facilitating critical self-reflection, inquiry, and dialogue concerning students who are minoritized, marginalized, and othered within PreK–12 schools? This study demonstrated that educational design research together with professional development schools are an ideal context to develop tools in a real-world setting aimed to address issues around racial and social justice and cultural competence within teacher education programs and PreK–12 schools and classrooms.

One of the models of the maritime domains management in the territory of the Republic of Croatia is the concessioning system, and it is based on various legislation and by-laws that determine the type of concessions, the method of determining the concession fee and the methods and criteria for awarding the concession. The concessions’ management is primarily related to the economic use of maritime domains. The aim of this article is to carry out a comparative analysis of the concessioning model of maritime domains in the territory of the Republic of Croatia and the European Union with a focus on the seaports. For the purpose of economic use, today’s models of the maritime domains’ concessioning in the territory of the European Union are not unambiguous, as they depend on the tradition and historical development of the system even though they are subject to constant changes. The carried out research points to the need of developing the system in the Republic of Croatia with the obligation to harmonising legislation, strengthening criteria within the system and increasing the degree of openness of the market in accordance with the European acquis.

Appropriately high level of marine environment protection implies taking the measures of prudence, precaution, reasonable and rational use of marine natural resources, and that is achieved also through the assessment of potential significant negative impacts at the early stage of planning of a particular project. Marine fish and shellfish farms, marine ports, minerals exploitation, shore nourishment, seabed deepening and drying, construction in and at the sea and other projects in marine environment are subject to implementation of environmental impact assessment and screening projects based on environmental reports. The description of main features of technological processes of planned projects and their impact on marine environment constitute an integral part of environmental reports, as technical baselines for assessing potential significant negative impacts. In order to prevent pollution, pursuant to law provisions, it is necessary to apply technologies that are most efficient for achieving high level of marine environment protection. In assessing at the planning stage whether most acceptable technologies are used, consultative expert committee consisting of scientists and professionals is engaged in environmental impact assessment procedures. Paper analyses the parts of environmental reports describing technological procedures and proposes the methods of upgrading their quality by involving experts and scientists in examining thereof.

This paper presents a comparison of conventional and heat balance based energy analyses of steam turbine. Both analyses are compared by using measured operating parameters from low power steam turbine exploitation. The major disadvantage of conventional steam turbine energy analysis is that extracted energy flow streams are not equal in real (polytropic) and ideal (isentropic) expansion processes, while the heat balance based energy analysis successfully resolved mentioned problem. Heat balance based energy analysis require an increase of steam mass flow rates extracted from the turbine in ideal (isentropic) expansion process to ensure always the same energy flow streams to all steam consumers. Increase in steam mass flow rate extracted through each turbine extraction (heat balance based energy analysis) result with a decrease in energy power losses and with an increase in energy efficiency of whole turbine and all of its cylinders (when compared to conventional analysis). All of the obtained conclusions in this research are valid not only for the analyzed low power steam turbine, but also for any other steam turbine with steam extractions.
Galois and Class Field Theory for Quantum Chemists
Authors: Kikuchi Ichio , Kikuchi Akihito
Published: June 2020

Quantum mechanics could be studied through polynomial algebra, as has been demonstrated by a work (``An approach to first-principles electronic structure calculation by symbolic-numeric computation'' by A. Kikuchi). We carry forward the algebraic method of quantum mechanics through algebraic number theory; the basic equations are represented by the multi-variate polynomial ideals; the symbolic computations process the ideal and disentangle the eigenstates as the algebraic variety; upon which one can build the Galois extension of the number field, in analogy with the univariate polynomial case, to investigate the hierarchy of solutions; the Galois extension is accompanied with the group operations, which permute the eigenstates from one to another, and furnish the quantum system with a non-apparent symmetry. Besides, this sort of algebraic quantum mechanics is an embodiment of the class field theory; some of the important consequences of the latter emerge in quantum mechanics. We shall demonstrate these points through simple models; we will see the use of computational algebra facilitates such sort of analysis, which might often be complicated if we try to solve them manually.

Investigating and classifying sentiments of social media users (e.g., positive, negative) towards an item, situation, and system are very popular among the researchers. However, they rarely discuss the underlying socioeconomic factor associations for such sentiments. This study attempts to explore the factors associated with positive and negative sentiments of the people about reopening the economy, in the United States (US) amidst the COVID-19 global crisis. It takes into consideration the situational uncertainties (i.e., changes in work and travel pattern due to lockdown policies), economic downturn and associated trauma, and emotional factors such as depression. To understand the sentiment of the people about the reopening economy, Twitter data was collected, representing the 51 states including Washington DC of the US. State-wide socioeconomic characteristics of the people (e.g., education, income, family size, and employment status), built environment data (e.g., population density), and the number of COVID-19 related cases were collected and integrated with Twitter data to perform the analysis. A binary logit model was used to identify the factors that influence people toward a positive or negative sentiment. The results from the logit model demonstrate that family households, people with low education levels, people in the labor force, low-income people, and people with higher house rent are more interested in reopening the economy. In contrast, households with a high number of members and high income are less interested to reopen the economy. The accuracy of the model is good (i.e., the model can correctly classify 56.18\% of the sentiments). The Pearson chi2 test indicates that overall this model has high goodness-of-fit. This study provides a clear indication to the policymakers where to allocate resources and what policy options they can undertake to improve the socioeconomic situations of the people and mitigate the impacts of pandemics in the current situation and as well as in the future.
Alleviating the Cold Start Problem in Adaptive Learning using Data-Driven Difficulty Estimates

Published: June 2020

An adaptive learning system offers a digital learning environment that adjusts itself to the individual learner and learning material. By refining its internal model of the learner and material over time, such a system continually improves its ability to present appropriate exercises that maximise learning gains. In many cases, there is an initial mismatch between the internal model and the learner’s actual performance on the presented items, causing a ‘cold start’ during which the system is poorly adjusted to the situation. In this study, we implemented several strategies for mitigating this cold start problem in an adaptive fact learning system and experimentally tested their effect on learning performance. The strategies included predicting difficulty for individual learner-fact pairs, individual learners, individual facts, and the set of facts as a whole. We found that cold start mitigation improved learning outcomes, provided that there was sufficient variability in the difficulty of the study material. Informed individualised predictions allowed the system to schedule learners’ study time more effectively, leading to an increase in response accuracy during the learning session as well as improved retention of the studied items afterwards. Our findings show that addressing the cold start problem in adaptive learning systems can have a real impact on learning outcomes. We expect this to be particularly valuable in real-world educational settings with large individual differences between learners and highly diverse materials.
Statistics education in undergraduate psychology: A survey of UK curricula
Authors: TARG Meta-Research Group .
Published: June 2020

Graduates from psychology programmes are likely to use data skills throughout their career, regardless of whether they continue into research. Statistical education in psychology programmes, however, emphasizes inferential statistical tests over a deep understanding of data and data skills, which can lead to the problematic use and interpretation of statistics. Indeed, widely-used statistical practices appear to undermine the quality of scientific research and mislead end-users of data. Several proposals have been made for how to improve these practices—with effective statistical education being one. With this in mind, we sought to document the statistical content currently taught to undergraduate psychology students in the UK. Contrary to our expectations, we found that only 19% of universities had publicly available curricula describing the statistical content taught in their undergraduate psychology programme. Of the curricula we obtained, most of them mentioned specific tests (ANOVAs, regression, correlation, t-tests, frequency tests, and rank tests) and about half mentioned probability and randomness, effect size, and statistical power, but few mentioned concepts such as confidence intervals, multiple comparisons, meta-analysis, replication, Bayesian statistics, frequentist statistics, and practical significance. These findings suggest that undergraduate psychology programmes may not emphasize statistical concepts (e.g., uncertainty) that are important for both everyday thinking and for effectively reporting and interpreting scientific research.
