Authors:   Energy and Chemical Industry Big Data Application Teaching and Research Center,,Xi’an Siyuan University, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China, Li Dong
Published: March 2023

The four undetermined parameters of the temperature-pressure-adsorption equation (TPAE) were obtained by regression of the series isothermal adsorption data of the measured middle-rank deformed coal and normal coal. The unit isosteric adsorption enthalpy (UIAE) was obtained. According to the negative value of the UIAE, adsorption is an exothermic process, desorption is an endothermic process. The coal and gas outburst threshold (OT) is defined as the product of the firmness coefficient and the unit isosteric desorption enthalpy (UIDE) to show the combined effect of adsorption thermodynamics and tectonic stress. The UIDE difference between the two coals was from 1.91 times expanded to OT difference of 5.74 times.

Published: March 2023

In every procurement activity, there will be an opportunity for a risk to arise, including activities in the process of procuring goods and services at the Department of Public Works (PU) for Highways and the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of Sigi Regency. To prevent risks, the HOR (House of Risk) method is used which can identify dominant risk sources and prioritize appropriate mitigation strategies to anticipate existing risks. The purpose of this research is to know the risks and analyze the risks that can cause obstacles, as well as to find out the necessary risk mitigation measures for risk events that occur in the process of procuring construction goods and services in Sigi Regency. The results showed that of the 22 identified risk causes for the procurement of construction goods/services, 14 priority risk causes were obtained with the largest Aggregate Risk Priority (ARP) value, namely, the documents required for the completeness of the tender process were incomplete and sudden and the existing personnel did not comply with the requirements. Of the 14 priority risk causes with the largest ARP value, obtained through the Pareto Diagram 6 handling strategies recommended to the Regional Secretary in the field of procurement of construction goods and services. And from the calculation results of the House of Risk 2 method, 2 risk management strategies with the highest Effectiveness to Difficulty (ETD) values are obtained, which will be used in handling 14 priority risk agents.
ДЕЯКІ ЛЕКСИЧНІ ТРУДНОЩІ АНГЛО-УКРАЇНСЬКОГО ПЕРЕКЛАДУ ТЕКСТІВ КУЛІНАРНИХ ВІДЕОРЕЦЕПТІВ
Authors: Остроушко О. А.
Published: March 2023

У статті на матеріалі самостійно виконаного перекладу низки відеорецептів із кулінарних YouTube-каналів Г. Рамзі, Дж. Олівера та А. Олсон проаналізовано та описано деякі лексичні труднощі англо-українського перекладу кулінарних текстів. Увагу було зосереджено на перекладі широкозначних лексем, умовах вибору часткових перекладацьких відповідників, перекладі термінологізованих словосполучень. Багато кулінарних назв англійської та української лінгвокультур є лише частковими відповідниками, оскільки різняться внутрішньою формою, набором сем, граматичною структурою. Перекладацький відповідник вибирається залежно від мовного та позамовного контексту. Відеозображення допомагає перекладачу дібрати правильну номінацію, але лише за умови належного рівня його/її обізнаності зі сферою кулінарії мови перекладу. Складним може виявитися пошук адекватних відповідників до назв кухонної техніки та приладдя, оскільки для певної кількості нових приладів словники поки не фіксують відповідників, отже, виникає потреба звертатися до живого мовлення. Синонімічні та метонімічні заміни доводиться використовувати для перекладу лексикалізованих термінологічних словосполучень, оскільки в різних лінгвокультурах семантичною основою творення термінів стали різні ознаки. Переклад терміносполучення з одним і тим самим компонентом вимагає застосування різних трансформацій з огляду на традиції термінотворення в мові перекладу, уживаність тої чи тої сполуки в живому мовленні. Серед лексичних труднощів перекладу виокремлено: переклад назв інгредієнтів, кулінарних дій і процесів, посуду, кухонного приладдя та начиння, термінологізованих словосполучень, метафоричних висловів, прикметників. Під час перекладу застосовано такі типи трансформацій, як: синонімічні заміни, кореферентні заміни, метонімічні заміни (зокрема, конкретизація, генералізація, еквонімізація), деметафоризація, експресивні конотативні трансформації посилення чи применшення ознаки. Лексичні трансформації в абсолютній більшості супроводжуються трансформаціями на граматичному рівні. Критично важливою є обізнаність перекладача у сфері кулінарії обох лінгвокультур. На вибір перекладацького відповідника впливає тип виконуваного перекладу, зокрема дотримання вимог ізохронії у разі закадрового перекладу.
ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ МАНІПУЛЯЦІЇ ЯК ЕЛЕМЕНТ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОЇ ВІЙНИ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ МЕРЕЖІ «ІНТЕРНЕТ»)
Authors: Сотников А. В.
Published: March 2023

В умовах глобалізації роль державних інститутів влади, самої державної влади та системи державної оборони в умовах військового конфлікту суттєво трансформується, а факт існування інформаційного суспільства наражає державу на ризик інформаційної війни. Ведення інформаційної війни в умовах військового протистояння завжди було невід’ємним компонентом конвенційної війни. Але саме у 21 столітті значення маніпулятивного впливу на населення значно зросло з огляду на гібридний характер сучасних війн, з одного боку, та використанням засобами масової інформації потенціалу мережі «Інтернет», з іншого. Громадська думка є однією з форм масової (колективної) свідомості, що формується стихійно, але на її формування можна впливати за допомогою маніпулювання свідомістю. Інформаційна війна, яку Російська Федерація веде проти України із 2014 року, стала більш актуальною з початку повномасштабного вторгнення російських військ на територію України 24 лютого 2022 року. У ході загарбницької війни Російська Федерація використовує широкий спектр методів і технологій психологічних операції, які є складовою частиною інформаційної війни. З метою протидії психологічним операціям противника на наше населення необхідно розуміти сутність маніпулятивного впливу. Стаття присвячена дослідженню основних технологій і методів сучасної інформаційної війни, а як ілюстрації наводяться практичні приклади основних технологій маніпуляції свідомістю аудиторії в рамках проведення Російською Федерацією інформаційної війни проти народу України з висвітленням завдань, що постають перед маніпуляторами, і аналізом маніпуляції. Також у статті аналізується важливість соціальних мереж як форми існування інформаційного суспільства, використання соціальних мереж як засобу ведення інформаційної війни. Усі приклади взяті з відкритих джерел мережі «Інтернет», телеграм-каналів і соціальних мереж.
МУЛЬТИМОДАЛЬНІ СИНТАКСИЧНІ КОНСТРУКЦІЇ В СУЧАСНІЙ АНГЛОМОВНІЙ РЕКЛАМІ
Authors: Макарук Л. Л.
Published: March 2023

Статтю присвячено дослідженню сучасного мультимодального синтаксису на матеріалі англомовної реклами компанії “Allstate”. Корпус ілюстративного матеріалу свідчить, що сучасні комуніканти послуговуються не лише вербальними засобами, але й широким спектром невербальних одиниць. Продемонстровано, що невербальні складники є повноцінними елементами, які здатні заміщувати переважно іменники та дієслова. Обґрунтовано, що невербальні засоби не поступаються вербальним еквівалентам, а навпаки, сприяють значно швидшому сприйняттю, отже, і запам’ятовуванню. Доведено, що представлені мультимодальні синтаксичні конструкції можуть мати кілька способів дешифрувань, які залежать від потенційних комунікантів. Наведені приклади свідчать, що важливу роль у таких реченнях відграють піктограми. Окрім того, досить затребуваними та часто використовуваними є арифметичні знаки. Існують також конструкції, у яких послуговуються не лише зображеннями й арифметичними знаками, а й кодифікованими лексемами. Окреслено, що на відміну від традиційного синтаксису, мультимодальний нині не має усталених правил, відповідно до яких відбуваються процеси шифрування та дешифрування інформації. На відміну від наявних загальноприйнятих стратегій побудови класичних англомовних речень, мультимодальні мають довільну будову та не містять знаків пунктуації. Частина таких речень є повними, частина – неповними та змушують реципієнтів домислювати частину інформації. У роботі продемонстровано різні комбінації, у яких поєднано вербальні та невербальні засоби одночасно або використано суто невербальні одиниці. Установлено, що для компанії “Allstate” характерне використання однієї палітри кольорів. Найчастотнішим є лінійне розміщення засобів, кількість яких варіюється, оскільки залежить від того, на чому саме має намір закцентувати увагу продуцент. Також можемо вести мову про лінійне чи нелінійне розміщення елементів як складників мультимодальних синтаксичних конструкцій, типові або нетипові варіанти їх прочитання (зліва направо, зверху вниз, перехресне (ситуативне) прочитання тощо).

Authors: Al-Obaidi Mahdi Bashir Mahmoud , Almashhadani Abdulrahman Najm
Published: March 2023

Purpose:  This paper aims to study the possibility of external debt achieving financial sustainability by learning the most important economic variables affected by external debt and possible scenarios to achieve financial sustainability.
 
Theoretical framework:  The sustainability of external debt is one of the critical issues in economies, especially emerging ones. Establishing structural projects, infrastructure projects, and economic investment is one of the essential factors in achieving financial sustainability. However, Iraq has resorted to external borrowing to confront the economic, political, and security crises represented by the drop in global oil prices.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  The research seeks to explore developments related to Iraq's foreign debt and analyze developments related to financial sustainability in the Iraqi economy. To achieve the research goal, the paper uses an analytical approach by analyzing external debt and economic variables for the period 2004-2021 and interpreting indicators of external debt and financial sustainability in Iraq for the period 2004-2021 using the econometric model.
 
Findings:  The results show that the external debt is not optimally exploited and directed towards consumer spending and imported goods. A few of them are towards projects with low income, which led to the lack of real financial sustainability in the Iraqi economy. Furthermore, the increase in reliance on public borrowing to finance the budget deficit led to a rise in the internal debt, especially in 2020, which means an increase in financial obligations on the state not only abroad but also internally, which made the revenue structure burdened with financial commitments internally and externally, as well as not directing domestic savings to contribute In building the economy and working on its consumption, which prevented the achievement of financial sustainability.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  This paper contributes to the search for an alternative standard model capable of effectively explaining the financial sustainability of the external debt in Iraq.
 
Originality/value:  This is one of the first papers that examine the possibility of achieving the financial sustainability of external debt in Iraq using the econometric approach.

Authors: Jamain Rudy Eruwan , Zakaria Roza Hazli , Satar NurulHuda Mohd
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The  aim  of  the  study  was  to  analyze  the  performance dimensions and performance analysis techniques applied in studies of Asian port performance

 

Theoretical framework: The lack of literature in the context of port performance dimensions in Asian was  the  theoretical  basis  of  the study. A related study on Asian port performance was analysed and listed in the study based on thematic approach.

 

Design/methodology/approach: The PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) was used to guide this research, based on the databases of the two most prominent sources of articles which is Web of Science and Scopus.

 

Findings: This review identified four main categories surrounding the dimensions of port performance, those being operational dimensions, dimensions surrounding customers’ perspectives, logistical dimensions, and organizational dimensions. Furthermore, the following three performance analysis approaches were identified as being preferred by researchers of the Asian region: efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness.

 

Research, Practical & Social implications: The current findings of this research have shown that most studies on Asian ports focus on their efficiency and competitiveness rather than their productivity. A productivity survey might give a better overview of port performance as it concerns the actual output of the ports.

 

Originality/value: The systematic literature review (SLR) approach were hardly found in study of port performance. At the same time, the PRISMA method were applied to synthesized previous studies on port performance in Asian is another niche of the study.

Authors: Karim Aras Jalal Mhamad , Ahmed Nawzad Muhammed
Published: March 2023

Purpose: A coronavirus associated with severe respiratory syndrome has created Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a highly contagious illness that affects the entire world population. On the other hand, COVID-19 is having a direct impact on human life because of its proliferation. So, the study's goal is to forecast and analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the oil price utilizing multiple time series analysis methods (VARIMA model).
 
Theoretical framework: Recent literature has reported that the multivariate time series is robust model for forecasting and analyzing dynamic relationship between series, while the univariate ARIMA model has been generalized to include vector variables, that is an extension of its capabilities. The VAR (p) model analyzes the interdependence between two or more series but does not take into account the impact of shocks at various time variable delays.
 
Design/methodology/approach: This study uses VARMA (p, q) model which links a set of variables to their prior iterations as well as those of other variables and shocks to those same variables. Sample data concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price was globally provided. It contains daily observations of them variables for the years 2020-2022.
 
Findings: The best model is VARIMA (2,1,2), and the results shown that the oil price is not only influenced by itself but also influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. Moreover, the standard error grows over time of the forecast.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The best model is sound for short-term forecasting but unstable for long-term forecasting. Future researchers can integrate factors across areas. Include tourism demand and industry variables in modeling.
 
Originality/value: Collecting COVID-19 pandemic data and oil price series in a modern model that is a multivariate time series model with a high predicted level of model accuracy between these variables in order to predict and analyze the effects between them series and estimate the interaction between these two series with the most recent data is the value of this study, and then offers merchants the chance to comprehend the forecasting of oil price throughout the covid-19 effects as well as the associated risks.
The Impact of e-Wom on Users’ Attitudes Toward Over-the-top (Ott) Streaming Video Content and its Subscription Intention. – Young Indians Perspective
Authors: Gupta Shanu
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Empirical research suggests a high impact of e-WOM on the user’s attitude leading to their behavioral intention. This research paper is a novel attempt to understand the impact of electronic word-of-mouth on users’ attitudes toward the content of OTT, leading to its subscription intention.
 
Theoretical framework: “Content” is one of the key factors behind the exponential growth and viewership of OTT platforms in India. But how the users develop their attitude to watch or subscribe a specific content largely depends on word of mouth (WOM) or electronic word of mouth(e-WOM) information.
 
Design/method/approach: The data is collected from 250 respondents using the measured items from existing scales to test their validity and reliability in the OTT industry. Structural equation modeling is then used to examine the influence of e-WOM on the user’s attitudes toward content and subscription intention.
 
Findings: The results indicate a positive and significant impact of e-WOM on the user’s attitude towards content and subscription intention. e-WOM is a significant predictor
 
Research, Practical & Social implication: The paper offers valuable insights to the prominent marketers of OTTs in devising appropriate content promotion or content enhancement strategies which could lead to a favorable e-WOM about their content.
 
Originality/value: There has been immense research on the different aspects OTTs, but none has been done in context to OTT streaming video content’s e-WOM and subscription intention. Thus, the paper extends the existing research on OTTs to a new area, namely e-WOM.

Purpose:   Achieving technology transfer effectiveness (TTE) remains challenging in developing and underdeveloped economies to improve social infrastructures and develop economic systems. Bringing effectiveness in technology transfer is a complicated process for organizations that require improvement in their absorptive capacity (ACAP) and organizational innovation (OI). In the Information and communication technology (ICT) sector of Pakistan, technology transfer is ineffective due to a lack of ACAP and OI. This study aims to investigate the impact of ACAP and OI on TTE in the ICT sector of Pakistan.

 

Theoretical framework:   This study empirically investigated the relationship of ACAP and OI with TTE with underpinning organizational learning theory.

 

Design/methodology/approach:  A cross-sectional survey design was adapted for collecting data from 393 management representatives from 33 organizations of two main sub-sectors (Telecommunications and Information Technology) of the ICT sector of Pakistan. PLS-SEM was used for the reliability and validity measurement of research constructs. It also tested the hypothesized relationships between ACAP, OI, and TTE.

 

Findings:  This study confirmed the significant relationship of ACAP and OI with TTE. Further, the results also confirmed the mediation of OI between ACAP and TTE in the ICT sector of Pakistan.

 

Research, Practical & Social implications:  The implication of this research is to help government institutions and public and private sectors to develop mechanisms, economic policies, strategies, and business support for effective technology transfer in the ICT sector. This research model is also helpful for researchers and practitioners in its applicability in other industries, countries, and cross-cultural environments.

 

Originality/value:   Due to the lack of research in the ICT sector of Pakistan, this study empirically investigated the hypothesized significant relationships of ACAP and OI with TTE. This study also filled the research gap by evaluating the significant mediation of OI between ACAP and TTE and contributed to the body of knowledge.

Objective. To improve intraoperative determination of «sentinel» lymph nodes in patients, suffering mammary gland cancer.

Materials and methods. In the 2016 – 2021 yrs period on the base of the Odessa Regional Clinical Hospital 200 patients, suffering mammary gland cancer Stages Т1–Т3N0М0, were operated, using two dyes: the blue patented dye and fluorescent dye indocyanine green. All the patients were distributed into two groups. In Group I in 100 patients the "sentinel" lymph nodes biopsy was conducted. The blue patented dye was used for the lymph nodes staining. The same was conducted in 100 patients of Group II with the "sentinel" lymph nodes biopsy. For the lymph nodes staining there were applied the blue patented dye and fluorescent dye indocyanine green, which were introduced intravenously into the upper extremity on the side of the affected mammary gland along outflow from the upper extremity to mammary gland.

Results. General five–year survival after axillary lympho–dissection and after biopsy of «sentinel» lymph nodes have constituted 91 and 92%, accordingly, while recurrence–free five–year survival – 82.2 and 83.9% accordingly. Only in 1.1% patient a regional recurrence in «sentinel» lymph nodes on the affected mammary gland side was revealed. In 57% patients the unaffected «sentinel» lymph nodes were diagnosed, that's why further lympho–dissection was accomplished. In 43% women–patients there was revealed metastatic affection of the lymph nodes. Recurrence was registered in 0.2% patients as an isolated metastases in axillary lymph nodes.

Conclusion. The method of the «sentinel» lymph nodes diagnosis in mammary gland cancer, using the dyes, permits to escape the performance of traumatic operations in favor of organ–preserving interventions with biopsy of «sentinel» lymph nodes.

Objective. To determine the possibility and expediency of application of ferromagnetic instruments for diagnosis and pulling out of the abdominal cavity foreign bodies in the battle gun–shot trauma, including application of miniinvasive technologies.

Materials and methods. In the investigation 154 patients took part, including 110 (71.4%) with application of open laparotomy access, аnd 44 (28.6%) – using laparoscopic technologies. While doing open laparotomy interventions magnet surgical instruments were applied.

Results. The magnet instruments were used in 2.5 times more frequently in open laparotomy accesses, than in the laparoscopic.There was established, that the average duration of search and pulling out of foreign bodies without application of special instruments have constituted (21 ± 2.2) min, while with it – (10 ± 1.2) min only, what is in 2 times lesser (p˂0.05). When special instruments were used, 98% of foreign ferromagnetic bodies were pulled out from abdominal cavity, while without it – 34% only, causing necessity to perform the staged interventions for their pulling out.

Conclusion. Practical introduction of the magnet instruments proposed permits to reveal the majority of the ferromagnetic foreign body quantity with lesser time loss for their search, localization and pulling out, what is very important in conditions of military–field surgery. Foreign body of the gun–shot origin in patients, suffering penetrating abdominal wounding, demonstrated visually, palpatory or instrumentally, must be pulled out.

Environmental management has become a major issue for Partner Groups, especially those in the Losari Beach area. Awareness regarding the importance of environmental cleanliness has been established with the existence of regulations that regulate environmental management, especially waste management. However, the socialization related to government programs has not touched business actors in Losari Beach. Therefore, this community service aims to provide socialization of PP No. 4 of 2011 regarding the waste management program as an effort to increase awareness of environmental cleanliness. A clean environment can attract domestic and foreign tourists which will directly have an impact on increasing the income of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The stages of implementing the activities are the preparation stage and the implementation stage using the socialization method. The result of the service is that the community understands the purpose of the PP Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2011 for MSMEs, one of which is protecting the environment as a tourist attraction. The high number of tourists visiting has an impact on purchasing power, thus Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) continue to exist to maintain their business.
