Authors:   Novosibirsk State University, Nurgaliev Anton , Parshin Daniil ,   Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics SB RAS
Published: February 2024

In high performance sports, high results are usually the product of a whole set of achievements. Innovations in materials, training methods and techniques allow you to win and set records. One of the ways to improve results in cyclical sports, such as cross-country skiing, is to use information about the biomechanics of athletes movements. Analysis of the athlete's movement parameters allows us to characterize the effectiveness of these movements, as well as to develop tactics for conducting the race. In this paper, we present a method for obtaining data, develop an algorithm for digitizing them, and propose a mathematical model that describes a set of data on the movements of cross-country skiers. During the analysis of mathematical modeling data, a significant influence of both the class of skiers and their gender on the parameters of the mathematical model was revealed. The results of this study can be useful for a deeper understanding of the fundamental biomechanics of cross-country skier’s movements, as well as for building more optimal training techniques.

Published: February 2024

Carpal tunnel syndrome or carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a disease of the periph-eral nervous system associated with compression of the median nerve by surrounding tissues in the carpal tunnel of the human hand. CTS can often be observed against the background of a number of other diseases. However, the pressure exerted on the median nerve in any case is the primary cause of neurological complications. At the same time, there are no techniques to non-invasively measure the pressure inside the carpal tunnel, and invasive technology is controversial, traumatic and not recommended in medical practice. It is also known that CTS can occur not only against the background of other diseases, but also in connection with prolonged mechanical loads on the hand. It is difficult to experimentally measure the pressure inside the carpal tunnel under such loads. This article discusses the development and application of a methodology for deter-mining carpal tunnel pressure based on biomechanical modeling. The technique con-sists of several interrelated stages (computed tomography, segmentation, motion cap-ture, creation of a computational model and modeling of various hand movements). The development of the technique was based on the principle of personalization. The appli-cation of this technique for two patients is shown. The calculated intra-carpal pressure of one patient was almost three times higher than that of the other, but the values obtained by both models are within the acceptable range and correspond to the experimental data.
Transcultural Concept “Individual Mobility”: Mediatization Dynamics Through Corpus-Based Study
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Ilyinova Elena , Volkova Olga ,   Volgograd State University
Published: February 2024

The research is relevant due to the interest of linguistics in studying Russian-language mediatization discursive practices, which contribute to the perception and evaluation of the contemporarily implemented concepts envisioned as a new social reality in media communication. The article introduces the mechanism of transcultural concept mediatization exemplified by the concept "Individual Mobility" that is emerging in the Russian language consciousness. The paper substantiates corpus linguistic methodology applicability to research into the scrutiny of the current media practices. The dynamic nature of introduction and inculcation of ideas upon the significance of mobility provided by personal transporters as the fashionable way of life, represented in the thesaurus of media texts corpus, proves research outcomes novelty. By applying the corpus methods, the linguistic mechanisms of the concept "Individual Mobility" mediatization are revealed as being represented in the dominance of translingual units in the key concept domain nominations and chronological variability in the nominative density of their implementation; the thematically heterogeneous nature of thesaurus of the texts corpus governs the perception of the contemporarily implemented concept by Russian-speaking actors of mass media discourse. The evaluation vector in conceptualization of the socially significant phenomenon under study in the Russian media discourse is determined, its specificity is described. The concept "Individual Mobility" mediatization is being traced in the hybridization of the thematic layer of media texts corpus, in particular, in the presence of administrative discourse vocabulary whilst the relative stability of terminology that nominates fashionable personal transporters and their users. The presence of lexical units, which comprise the thematic group "Risk of injury" accompanied by legal and administrative vocabulary, indicates the dynamic formation of mass critical and negative comprehension of the concept "Individual Mobility" domain accomplished by means of the chosen vectors of mediatization.
Typographic Landscape: Pragmatics of Typographic Variation
Authors:   Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Chernyavskaya Valeria
Published: February 2024

The present paper suggests a linguistic approach to typography which is understood as a variable communicative resource. Typography acts as one of the semiotic tools for meaning making. A person actively chooses semiotic resources that are adequate in the socio-cultural situation, interprets the meanings and coordinates their communicative competence with socio-cultural norms and traditions of communication. The methodological framework of the study is based on modern explanatory approaches to the pragmatics of meaning that have been developed in media linguistics, discourse linguistics, and is in line with a new sociolinguistic strand typographic linguistics. The typographic variations are involved in the shaping of a semiotic, typographic landscape and generate typographic meanings as a special kind of pragmatic meaning. The typographic meaning is of an indexical nature and can be studied within the framework of social indexicality in line with current approaches in sociolinguistics and metapragmatics to communicative variation. From this point of view, the issue is related to media competence and media literacy as a person's ability to recognize and consciously apply various communicative forms and channels to express meanings in an appropriate situation. The analysis is exemplified by means of modern Russian advertising messages, street signs, announcements. Typographic meaning is created and recognized in the communicative interaction of social actors.
Synonymic Relations in Verbal Lexis of the Smolensk Dialect in the 17th – 18th Centuries
Authors:   Smolensk State University, Koroleva Inna
Published: February 2024

The article deals with the problems of synonymy in verbal dialect lexis based on the material of Smolensk business writing of the 17 th – 18 th centuries, the time of buoyant lexical norms formation in the Russian literary language. The author draws attention to the fact that some of the dialect verbs do not enter synonymic relations and researches into the reasons for the absence of their synonyms. Extensive lexicographic material of the Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian and Polish languages was involved, as well as data from monographic studies on the topic. It has been proved that this is often not only the original dialectal lexemes, but also the lexis borrowed from Western European languages through the Polish transmitter language, which can be considered a specific feature of Smolensk verbal synonymy in the period of the 16 th – 18 th centuries. The causes for restricted inclusion of dialect verbs into synonymic relations are the following: the semantics of dialect verbs contains some additional shades of meaning, which are not represented in the lexis of the literary language, they are expressed with the help of descriptive means, for instance, particularizing words; words viewed as potential synonyms, are noted to demonstrate hyponymic relations; the semantics of dialect lexis reveals diffusive character. The cases are described, when unclear meaning of the dialect verb in the limited context prevents it from the inclusion into a particular synonymic row. The dynamics of dialect lexis is characterized. It is represented in the loss or preserving some lexical units in the lexis of modern Smolensk dialects.
What Can “Integral” Mean in Education?
Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Błajet Piotr , Przyborowska Beata ,   Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń
Published: February 2024

There are many misconceptions about what is called “integral education”. We propose an integral approach to education based on the historical thinking of John Dewey and on the more recent AQAL concept by Ken Wilber. At the centre of integral education, there is a Subject. Subject equals his/her perspective. Integral education is a process of constructing/creating perspectives in the subject. We propose that four main perspectives can be applied to the educational process and the Integral Education Matrix includes these perspectives. The matrix can be a useful tool for planning actions and outcomes in the process of education.
The Methods of Negative Emotions Managing Based on the Teachers’ Control Group Research
Authors:   University of Łódź, Pawłowska Beata , Chomczyński Piotr ,   University of Łódź
Published: February 2024

In our article we will try to answer the following questions: how do the teachers in the pedagogical centres and the primary schools cope with the negative emotions? What kind of techniques and strategies do the teachers use to manage their emotions in difficult situations? The theoretical background constitutes Arlie Hochschild’s theory and conception of Theodore D. Kemper. We consider whether teachers’ demonstration of emotions during their work (teaching process) is a method to achieve a fixed goal or rather a random behavior and whether an emotional expression is some instrumental operation or an accidental one? Can emotional work be considered by teachers? Do people who embody in the teacher’s role simultaneously accept the rules of behavior, including emotional behavior? Finally, whether the emotions revealed in the teachers’ work are the result of possessed power and status? As the result of conducted research, teachers employed in educational institutions revealed negative emotions more rarely towards educational reforms than the teachers working in the public schools. The basis of this regularity stems from the fact that employed staff fulfill firstly the pedagogical and later educational function in the Reformatory and Youth Detention Centres. In public institutions such as primary schools the situation is opposite. Generally, we conclude that the longer the occupational experience of the teacher, the better strategy to deal with negative emotions. Young teachers used to rely on their older colleagues experience and reflections or use a trial-and-error-method to cope with the negative emotions at work.
Realizacja zasady równości wyborów do organu stanowiącego miast na prawach powiatu

Polish Electoral Code, which came into force in 2011, only slightly changed the rules of election of the councils of cities with county rights. Consequently, if the implementation of the principle of formal aspect of equal suffrage (equal voting rights) in the elections to these councils is undoubted that the material aspect of that rule (equal voting power) is controversial. This is due to the existence of relatively small constituencies, in which the number of seats based on the number of inhabitants, and not the number of electors or actually voting people. Another problem concerns the division of seats in those councils with d’Hondt method, which is the PR-system favorable for the largest political groups. Additionally, as practice shows, we have to make reservations if way of financing the electoral campaign does not affect the third aspect of the principle of equal elections – equality of opportunity. As a result we can say that the code very narrowly defined the equality of elections to the councils of cities with county rights.

The Polish legal system excludes certain categories of persons from the group have the right to vote (and thus they do not have the right to be elected). The Constitution of the art. Paragraph 62. 2 provides that the right to vote is not entitled to such persons deprived of their civil rights by a final court judgment, or as a result of the institution of criminal law – one from the penalty. Moreover, the 0right to vote shall not be entitled persons deprived of their voting rights by a final judgment of the Court of State. It is a spontaneous deprivation of voting rights (while leaving other public rights), a penalty adjudicated by the Court in resolving the legal liability of persons holding the highest positions in the state. The existence of the measure or criminal penalties in the literature is treated as so. „Clauses negative” because the cause deprivation of electoral rights. Moreover, these reasons for limiting the scope of these rights are regarded as „socially and morally justified”. In the catalog of punitive measures set out in art. 39 k.k. vain to seek the penalty in the form of deprivation of voting rights for public authorities. According to the wording of art. 40 § 2 k.k. it is only one of several elements that make up the substance of a measure of criminal deprivation of civil rights. Considerations made this show that the deprivation of civil rights as a criminal and the deprivation of voting rights as a punishment take on major importance for the practical implementation of symptoms and the electoral rights of these reflections are not purely theoretical.

Strategies to Increase the Production of Triterpene Acids in Ligzhi or Reishi Medicinal Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum, Agaricomycetes): A Review
Authors: Sun Xiaomei , Wang Jing , Cheng Mengtao , Qi Yitong , Han Chunchao
Published: February 2024

Ganoderic acids (GAs) are the main active ingredient of Ganoderma lucidum, which has been widely accepted as a medicinal mushroom. Due to the low yield of GAs produced by liquid cultured Ganoderma mycelium and solid cultured fruiting bodies, the commercial production and clinical application of GAs are limited. Therefore, it is important to increase the yield of GA in G. lucidum. A comprehensive literature search was performed with no set data range using the following keywords such as "triterpene," "ganoderic acids," "Ganoderma lucidum," and "Lingzhi" within the main databases including Web of Science, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The data were screened using titles and abstracts and those relevant to the topic were included in the paper and was not limited to studies published in English. Present review focuses on the four aspects: fermentation conditions and substrate, extrinsic elicitor, genetic engineering, and mutagenesis, which play significant roles in increasing triterpene acids production, thus providing an available reference for further research on G. lucidum fermentation.

Objective : Current study intends to develop a predictive model for Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket match results using machine learning techniques. In order to provide a precise framework that allows for the prediction of IPL match outcomes, it aims to examine player statistics, match dynamics, and historical data. Method : SVM, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and KNN models were used in this study to predict player performance on any given day. Form, fitness, and previous results were among the historical player data that were used as characteristics. Each model preceded through training and testing phases, with accuracy, precision, and recall metrics evaluated to determine the most effective algorithm for forecasting player performance. Findings : Final studies indicated that relative team strength of competitor teams, recent form of players, and opponent pairings are distinguishing features for predicting the performance of both players and teams on any given day. The multi-machine learning approach-based model that was constructed demonstrated an accuracy of 0.71, further indicating improved performance for the given challenge. Modelling team strength is similar to modelling individual player batting and bowling performances, which is the cornerstone of our approach. Novelty : This paper was designed based on a novel approach leveraging combinatorial machine learning methods. This has been found to demonstrate unprecedented performance improvement in predicting a player’s performance on a given day. Additionally, the presented approach may prove valuable in opening new avenues to advance machine learning applications in sports analytics by addressing the limitations of existing methods.

The article examines the problem of the writer’s national identity based on J. Conrad’s original works, memoirs of his contemporaries and critics who analyzed the works of the English classic writer in the following decades. The main attention is paid to the point of view that examines the figure of J. Conrad from the standpoint of multiculturalism, in particular the combination of Polish, British and Ukrainian (Polissia) components with interspersed elements of the cultures of Africa, the East and Latin America acquired in the course of life. Finding out which national and cultural paradigm was perceived by the writer as «Own» in the existential sense of the foundations of human existence, as well as which ethnic environment most recognized the writer as «Own», without feeling the cognitive dissonance of his creative pursuits with the national picture of the world, the authors come to the conclusion, that the multicultural identity of the British writer of Polish origin gave rise to an existential situation of «cultural homelessness»: compatriots (for example, Stefan Żeromski) could not forgive their countryman’s transition to another language and to another cultural and historical field, often considering this step as betrayal; representatives of British culture (Virginia Woolf, Bertrand Russell) did not hide the fact that, although Conrad writes in their language, his works remained incomprehensible to them because of the tragic pathos that is not peculiar to British literature; and Edward Said examined J. Conrad’s works in the context of colonial discourse, placing him on the same level as Rudyard Kipling, the greatest creator of imperial narratives. It is suggested that the closest to understanding the paradox of Conrad’s identity came Ukrainian émigré writers (Yevhen Malaniuk, Yurii Kosach), who were themselves exiles without the possibility of returning to their Motherland, and therefore understood the psychology and moods of the Polish writer abroad. They claimed that J. Conrad renounced the national features of his own culture in order to affirm universal human values.
FROM CITY LABYRINTHS TO THE RETREAT OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS («CROCODILE STREET» BY BRUNO SCHULTZ)
Authors:   Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University, Odesa, Ukraine, Malinovsky Artur
Published: February 2024

The article examines one of the key stories of Bruno Schultz’s collection «Cinnamon Shops» in the context of the aesthetic originality of the prose of the Polish modernist novelist, his ontology and poetics. Focusing on the whimsical nature of imagery, the word’s ability to creative demiurge, the synthesis of the spiritual and the material quite logically leads to the idea of ​​ Schulz’s ontological borderline. It is from this point of view that the artistic time-space of «Crocodile Street» is interpreted as the compositional and content center of the collection. Emphasis is placed on the multidimensional function of Schultz’s word, which is closely related to autobiography, intergenerational memory, the collective unconscious, and the theory of archetypes. The connection of the word with the poetics of form creation is traced, and the naming is considered from the point of view of the sacralization of the depicted objects, their correlation with the biblical acts of world creation. The phenomenon of «annexation of the subconscious», its influence on words, ideas as constructs of the author’s representation of the world is singled out. The images of a store, warehouses, and a labyrinth are correlated with the subconscious, the most secret recesses of the human soul. No less important is the connection with the cultural space, cartographic images of the Baroque, graphic art and critical self-reflections of the writer. The palimpsest of the urban space, the presence of different cultural traditions and everyday anthropological practices in it are studied. The connection between the images of the story and the typical Schultz concepts of puppetry, marionette behavior, the psychology of mimicry, adaptation to the situation is traced. The ambivalence of the author’s world, built on the game of verbal plans, balancing between the real and the unreal, the sphere of denotations and techniques of representation, is proven.
JULIUSZ SŁOWACKI AND «UMANERS»
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Pavlenko Maryna
Published: February 2024

The article summarises the points of contact between Juliusz Slowacki and iconic personalities - representatives of the Uman region. In particular, it examines his relations and creative interactions with representatives of the «Ukrainian school» in Polish literature - poets Seweryn Goszczynski, Michał Grabowski, and Bohdan Zaleski, who studied in Uman. Slowacki closely followed their activities, and some researchers even claim that his early works, such as «Ukrainian Duma» (1826) and «Song of a Cossack Girl» (1829), were written under the influence of B. Zaleski. S. Goszczyński with his «The Castle of Kaniów» and M. Grabowski with his historic novels influenced the writing of «Salome’s Silver Dream» and the unfinished «Beniowski». While the first work has nothing about Uman, in the second Slowacki planned to describe Zalizniak’s journey from Zhabotyn to Uman, full of blood, but unfortunately, only two fragments of that plan remain. In addition to creative influences, there were also personal relationships, and not always simple ones. For example, Juliusz was mostly friends with Seweryn Hoshchynskyi and even lived with him for some time. The relationship with the other two members of the Uman Trinity was more complicated: Juliusz Slowacki made fun of them in some of his works. The authors had very different worldviews, artistic principles, and personal ambitions. This article also analyses his romance with Aleksandra Mosczęńska, the daughter of an Uman magnate. The article traces the Uman «roots» of the Moszczenski family, the story of their acquaintance with Slowacki, the influence of Aleksandra on his mood, creativity, and even his journey to the East. Juliusz Slowacki dedicated two sonnets to her, and also introduced her image in his poem «Beniowski». The article attempts to understand the reason for the breakup and the depth of feelings, the impact on his work. New details are offered to the short life of Anelia herself. In particular, those that emerge from the decoding of the inscription on her tombstone that were made in Florence. By peering today into the intricacies of this romantic, sad and mysterious story, we will see Slowacki himself more clearly.

Authors:   Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Piskun Andrii
Published: February 2024

The proposed article states that along with numerous Ukrainian and Polish researchers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the contribu- tion made by the well-known Polish literary critic and Ukrainianist Antoni Serednicki to the study of cultural, historical and literary relations and mutual influences of the two neighboring nations was perhaps the most significant in a number of scientific works of philologists. The purpose of the study is to provide a generalized overview of the scientific and, in particular, literary heritage of Antoni Serednicki, considered from the perspective of emphasizing the imagological aspects in the study of literary Ukrainian studies. The tasks that detail the stated goal are: 1) to define the role and place of A. Serednicki in the context of Polish-Ukrainian literary relations; 2) to analyze the stages of formation and development of Polish-Ukrainian literary relations and mutual influences during the period of the fifteenth – twentieth centuries emphasized in the scholar’s literary studies; 3) to outline the main thematic vectors of imagological receptions in Polish Ukrainist and Ukrainian Polonist literature reflected in A. Serednicki’s scientific works. As a result of the study, it has been established that A. Serednicki traces the history of Polish-Ukrainian literary relations in a wide chronological range of the fifteenth to twentieth centuries. The subject of Polish-Ukrainian literary relations in the scholar’s scientific heritage is the subject of many biographical, encyclopedic, generalized and review articles, as well as articles that examine and analyze the personal contribution of certain Polish or Ukrainian writers and scholars to the development of cultural relations between the two neighboring nations. Among A. Serednicki’s research priorities are the Cossack-Haidamak theme reflected in his articles, the works of representatives of the «Ukrainian school» of Polish literature, and literary and critical receptions of the best achievements of Ukrainian literature by Polish writers and scholars of philology.

How does the definition of SME differ across different countries? What are the contributions of SMEs in terms of employment and GDP? How can Islamic finance play a significant role in scaling up the business performance of SMEs and, subsequently, their contribution to employment and the economy? What are the issues and challenges faced by SMEs and Islamic finance that would resolve into greater employment generation? Addressing all these questions, this paper provides an overview of SMEs globally and their definitions in different countries as well as in Malaysia. Simultaneously, some issues and challenges are discussed. Furthermore, the paper presents Islamic finance as a better solution to the financial accessibility of SMEs in future economic activities. The paper thus attempts to illustrate a model or framework that would work well for SMEs to generate productive employment opportunities in their respective economies. To achieve the objectives of this paper, secondary data was used to present all the statistical figures and tables. For any generalizations, recommendations, or conclusions, an extensive review of literature from various sources was conducted.
A STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPETENCE ON THE INNOVATION CAPACITY OF MOZAMBICAN ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Perez Gilberto
Published: February 2024

This research focused on analyzing the relationship between information technology (IT) competence and the innovation capacity of Mozambican organizations. The electronic questionnaire contains questions related to IT competence and innovation capacity as the primary constructs of the research model. The return was 136 valid responses, and for data analysis, partial least squares structural equation modeling was used with the SmartPls-3.3.2® software. The results reveal a significant impact of IT competence on innovation capacity in Mozambican organizations. When a Mozambican organization is IT competent, it can promptly detect the signals in the market in which it operates and answer the market requirements. In answering market demands, the organizations are innovating in services, products, processes, strategies, behavior, and innovation in the market itself. As for the dimensions of IT competence previously theoretically evaluated, the results confirmed empirically that this reflects the IT infrastructure capacity, IT business spanning capability, IT proactive posture, IT flexibility, and IT integration. For Mozambican organizations interested in being more competitive in the market, a high investment in IT on its various dimensions is necessary to be agile and innovative. It is not enough to have IT resources stored in the organization; they must be usual at all levels.

Authors: Loganathan Vineetha Francis
Published: February 2024

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a largely preventable, chronic, and progressive medical condition. However, this preliminary study has been carried out to investigate the knowledge deficit of type 2 DM in Australia, amongst young adults.

To investigative knowledge deficit of type 2 DM amongst Australian adolescents.

A cross-sectional survey was conducted amongst 18–25-year-olds. Using a random sampling method, 108 young Australian adults were questioned from the local Rotary club via an online survey. A combination of close-ended questions and a multiple-choice self-completed questionnaire were utilised to collate the data through the online survey. Questions were formulated by assuming that participants did not have any medical background. Questions were focused on general knowledge, knowledge of risk factors, knowledge of symptoms, knowledge on complications and knowledge about lifestyle modifications.

A total of 108 Australian adolescents completed the survey, of which 64.8% was female & 35.2% was male. The study found that there is a statistically significant difference in the knowledge about diabetes factors between the sexes. None of them had Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.

Analyses of data from this population indicates that that there is a deficit in knowledge amongst Australian adolescents about type 2 DM. Enhanced effort by clinicians to employ early intervention, especially at the adolescent stage by advocating for healthy lifestyle choices would help lower the burden of this disease.

Millets, especially barnyard millet, stand out as rich sources of micronutrients, offering high nutritional value with minerals like iron, calcium, and phosphorus, aiding in various health benefits, despite the presence of anti-nutritional factors effectively mitigated through cooking.

: This study aimed to develop a nutrient-rich health mix using unpolished barnyard millet (BM) while partially replacing it with sunflower seeds. The objectives include conducting sensory evaluation and analyzing the proximate composition of the selected variation.

The health mix was develop by partially replacing sunflower seeds powder in six formulations with soaked and steam-cooked unpolished barnyard millet flour. Nutrient enrichment was achieved by adding green gram dal flour, skimmed milk powder, roasted almonds, and poppy seeds. Sensory evaluation involving 30 participants, rated on a 0-9 hedonic scale, guided the selection of a specific variation for subsequent analysis of its Proximate Composition.

The application of soaking and steam cooking methods on barnyard millet-based health mixes resulted in nutrient-rich products with favorable sensory properties. Notably, the health mix variant BMH3 scored the highest in sensory evaluation, offering elevated levels of calories, protein, Carbohydrate, fiber, iron, calcium, and phosphorus.

The results affirm the success of developing a palatable and cost-effective value-added product. The nutrient-rich health mix, particularly variant BMH3, proves to be a successful and healthy option for consumers
