Preparedness of the vocational higher-order thinking skills of pre-service teachers during internship program implementation
Authors: Sukatiman
Published: October 2024

This research aims to analyze the vocational higher-order thinking skills (V-HOTS) of pre-service teacher interns at teacher education colleges during an internship at vocational high schools. The research employed mixed methods through (1) observation and evaluation of student preparations, (2) semi-structured interviews on the role of teachers in improving V-HOTS in schools, and (3) distributing questionnaires of students' perceptions to the tenth grade across six vocational high schools divided into two clusters. The results demonstrate that the intern teachers succeeded in mastering V-HOTS according to students' perceptions, where they achieved scores that far exceeded the previously set standards. Further statistical analysis revealed significant differences in perceptions between the two groups of intern teachers (Clusters I and II), indicating variations in the understanding or application of V-HOTS between the two groups. This implies that the pre-service teacher interns in Cluster II have better V-HOTS in implementing internship programs, although the schools in Cluster II are less supportive of information and communication technology (ICT). This research provides insights into the effectiveness of V-HOTS among pre-service teacher interns, suggesting that additional support and resources might be needed in schools that are less supportive of ICT to ensure consistent application of V-HOTS.

Published: October 2024

The objective of this quantitative study was to examine the efforts of one large university in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia to develop and approve a graduate attributes (GA) framework. The large-scale initiative drew on faculty members and students’ perceptions of graduate attributes that can bridge the gap between college and career readiness at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University (IAU). The study’s methodology employed a web-based questionnaire administered to the institutional community of faculty members and students.  Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted and analyzed to refine the final attributes. The results indicated the following five core GAs based on 1,826 participant responses: 1) knowledge application and lifelong learning; 2) problem-solving and decision-making abilities; 3) information technology skills; 4) an active personality and 5) a commitment to values, ethics and responsibility. This inaugural study’s results can contribute to the growing interest in creating GA frameworks for Saudi universities and their graduates. The absence of GA frameworks in the Saudi context should be considered in future updates. Recommendations further suggest secondary analyses to provide more meaningful insights into the IAU’s GA framework and its relevance to Saudi Arabia’s higher education sector in general.

Pyrazoles containing amino and carbonitrile groups have a wide range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant, and are used to create pesticides and dyes. Also, these compounds are synthons for the preparation of various polyheterocyclic compounds. New potentially biologically active 5-amino-3-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitriles containing pharmacophoric substituents have been obtained via three-component condensation reactions of malonic dinitrile with substituted aromatic aldehydes and benzhydrazides or hydrazines. This work considers the limits of applicability of hydrazines and hydrazides as weak nucleophiles in similar processes. The described target compounds have been synthesized using the «green chemistry» approach under ultrasonic activation in water or a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol in the presence of triethylamine as base catalyst. The applicability of this environmentally friendly, economical and efficient approach for the synthesis of nitrogen-unsubstituted (7, 8) and N-aryl- (4, 6) or N-aroyl-substituted (1–3) pyrazole-4-carbonitriles has been demonstrated. The target pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (2) is formed and Schiff base (2’) is released as a by-product in the reaction of the weak binucleophile 3-nitrobenzhydrazide with 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and malonic dinitrile. Step-by-step syntheses have shown that the initial reaction of a three-component interaction can be either croton condensation or the formation of a Schiff base. In any case, during subsequent heterocyclization, unstable substituted pyrazolines are formed, which aromatize to the target pyrazoles in the presence of atmospheric oxygen under synthesis conditions. The composition and structure of the products have been confirmed by elemental analysis, NMR 1H, 13C spectroscopy, HSQC, and HMBC heteronuclear correlations.

In recent decades, halogen-containing flame retardants have been gradually replaced by safer flame retardants, including nitrogen-containing compounds. However, their ecotoxicity is poorly studied. The ecotoxicity of melamine, a widely used nitrogen flame retardant, at concentrations equal to MPC in water (4 mg/L), 5 MPC (20 mg/L) and 10 MPC (40 mg/L) was assessed in this study using a complex of test organisms. The assessment of ecotoxicity using the dehydrogenase activity of Dietzia maris AM3 as a test microorganism revealed a stimulating effect of melamine at a concentration equivalent to the MPC; concentrations of 5 and 10 MPC inhibited the activity of dehydrogenases by 19.3% and 10.5%, respectively, indicating low toxicity. No toxic effects were observed on protococcal algae Chlorella vulgaris Beijer at any of the tested concentrations. The effect of melamine solutions on the mortality of crustaceans Daphnia magna Straus was noted only at a concentration of 10 MPC, and the mortality rate was 25%. Lemna growth inhibition test showed that melamine at concentrations equal to the MPC and 5 MPC had an inhibitory effect on the growth of Lemna minor L. It also caused a significant decrease (by 47–52%) in the total chlorophyll content in fronds when exposed to all studied concentrations of melamine.

Published: October 2024

Background: The reduction of hospital admissions, emergency visits, and urgent surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic were reported in various countries. The present study aimed to evaluate these changes in Iran.
Methods: A retrospective study of regional secondary utilization and mortality data from multiple official sources was performed.  The data were collected from hospitals located in the center of Iran (Yazd) between March 1st, 2020 (before COVID-19) and February 30th, 2021 (after COVID-19). The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel® and SPSS24 The Mann-Whitney test was utilized to compare the variables’ changes before and after COVID-19 pandemic. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the connection between non-COVID-19 mortality and the quantity of urgent surgeries conducted in hospitals.
Results: The percentage changes in hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and urgent surgeries following COVID-19 were 33.7%, 39%, and 23%, respectively. The correlation between the number of urgent surgeries and the non-COVID-19 mortality during the pandemic was negative(r=-0.9).
Conclusions: Our results provide empirical support for concerns about the widespread public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of novel technologies including telemedicine, consultations and online visits, as well as the use of remote monitoring technology could lead to improved access to health care during a pandemic, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Investigate the Relationship between Occupational Stress and the General Health of Nurses Affiliated with Shahid Sadoughi Hospital of Yazd City during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Khorrami Seyedeh Zahra , Jafari Hasan , Sefidkar Reyhane , Rahimi Mohammad Kazem
Published: October 2024

Background: One of the global challenges in the management of infectious diseases has been the management of the coronavirus, which has put considerable pressure on health care and medical systems.  Nurses have borne the brunt of these pressures as the most important human resource in these organizations. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational stress and the general health among nurses affiliated to Shahid Sadoughi as the teaching hospital of Yazd city during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022.
Methods: The current investigation is a descriptive-correlational study conducted on 160 nurses working at Shahid Sadoughi hospital of Yazd city. Two standard questionnaires were utilized to collect data, including the Parker and DeCotiis Occupational Stress Questionnaire and the Goldberger and Hiller General Health Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using T-test, Mann-Whitney, and Pearson correlation tests in SPSS26 software .
Results: There was a positive correlation between job stress and the general health of nurses (r=0.515, P-Value=0.001). The findings revealed a significant and positive correlation between occupational stress and general health dimensions in nurses. Additionally, the results proved a significant positive correlation between time pressure and anxiety in the Occupational Stress Questionnaire with physical symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, and depression dimensions in the General Health Questionnaire.
Conclusion: The results of this research suggest that an increase in occupational stress scores leads to a rise in general health scores. Therefore, the findings indicate that higher levels of occupational stress in nurses result in a less favorable general health status. Consequently, several nurses might struggle to provide effective and high-quality care to patients, which can endanger the overall health of the community.
SUBDIALECTAL DISCOURSE AND PECULIARITIES OF ITS MENTAL CONTINUUM IN THE LENS OF THE MODERN LINGUISTIC PARADIGM
Authors: Hromko T. V.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of specific features of subdialectal discourse and its mental continuum, viewed through the prism of modern linguistic theories. The purpose of the research is to study and describe the functioning and structure features, as well as the specifics of the linguarium of subdialectal discourse. The object of the study is the subdialectal discourse, which covers speech practices recorded in the village of Pishchanyi Brid, Novoukrainskyi district, Kirovohrad region. The subject of the study is the mental continuum of the subdialect speakers, which includes knowledge, perceptions and assessments related to various aspects of their lives. The source of the study was the speech recordings of the native speakers, i.e. the textual corpus of the subdialect. The methods used in the study were modelling, hypothetical method, deductive and inductive methods, descriptive method, observation method, taxonomic method, and continuous sampling method.
The peculiarity of the study of subdialectal speech in discourse studies lies in the analysis of the composition of usages, the specifics of the composition of the linguarium and its influence on the structure of discourse, expression of thoughts, interaction of speakers and the formation of the ethnographic identity of peasants who speak the subdialect. The discourse approach allows us to better understand the speech process in a specific socio-cultural and geographical setting, as well as the interaction of speakers within the dialect environment. It involves analysing the discourse of the language group in question, identifying specific lexical, grammatical and phonetic features that are characteristic of certain socio-cultural groups.
The metalinguistic interpretation of discourse types in the linguistic paradigm presents dialectal discourse as a reflection of real language use, a set of idiolects and an indicator of changes in the language. The household, ceremonial, religious and existential knowledge contained in the dialect discourse is critical to the well-being and cultural integrity of rural communities. In particular, household knowledge encompasses practical skills in housekeeping, agriculture and crafts. Ceremonial and religious knowledge includes traditions, rituals and beliefs that support the spiritual life and cultural identity of the community, and existential knowledge is related to the understanding of life, death and moral values, helping community members navigate difficult life situations.
Prospects for the study include a meta-analysis of dialectal discourse, which can be expressed in different ways in individual subdialects, the development of new methods for studying dialectal language in the digital environment, and the integration of interdisciplinary approaches for a deeper understanding of speech practices and cultural characteristics of speakers.
VOCABULARY TO DENOTE SEASONS IN THE SEMANTIC-FUNCTIONAL ASPECT
Authors: Romanchenko A. P.
Published: October 2024

The relevance of the article lays in the need to study the functioning of lexemes denoting seasons in literary speech and in the need to establish the specifics of their existence in the works of Ukrainian artists. The purpose of the study is to find out the peculiarities of the functioning of seasons’ names as representatives of the temporal space of poetic texts. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following main tasks: to analyze the vocabulary to denote seasons in poetic works in semantic, functional and stylistic aspects; to identify common and distinctive features in the use of this vocabulary in the selected collections. The object of the study is the vocabulary denoting seasons, and the subject is their functioning in the Ukrainian poetry of the Sixtiers and contemporary authors. Five poetry collections served as the source material for our study. The main research methods used in the work are: component analysis to study the semantics of words denoting seasons; contextual interpretation method to determine the peculiarities of the functioning of the vocabulary denoting seasons in expressing a theme and an idea; comparative method to compare the functional and stylistic parameters of the analyzed vocabulary in artists’ works.
The functioning of vocabulary to denote seasons in the collections of Mykola Vinhranovskyi, Lina Kostenko, Vasyl Symonenko, Bohdan Melnychuk, and Svitlana Shabat-Savka has both common and distinctive features. It implements direct and figurative meanings and is the basis for the creation of various tropes. It has been established that M. Vinhranovskyi, L. Kostenko, and S. Shabat-Savka actively use seasons’ names and their derivatives. V. Symonenko and B. Melnychuk rarely use such temporal vocabulary to realize a theme and an idea. The prospect for further research is in the following observation of stylistic means relevant in Ukrainian poetry.
LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE NAMES OF NUTS IN THE DIALECTS OF THE MIDDLE BUG AREA
Authors: Polishchuk S. S.
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the linguistic analysis of the names of nuts preserved in the dialects of the Middle Bug area. The object of the study is the specified layer of botanical vocabulary. The subject of the study is the phonetic, lexical-semantic and grammatical features, etymology and spatial distribution of colloquial names of nuts, their varieties (including Juglans regia L., Corylus avellana L., Arachis hypogaea L.), fruits and cultivars. The sources of the factual material are audio recordings of vernacular speech, made in 74 settlements of the Middle Bug area during the period of 2014–2016.
The article uses general scientific methods of research: analysis, synthesis and observation. The expeditionary method made it possible to communicate directly with informants and record live vernacular speech using a voice recorder. Such special linguistic research methods as questionnaires and interviews contributed to the documentation of dialect speech. The descriptive method was used in the analysis of colloquial speech, while the method of linguistic geography made it possible to illustrate the areology of the recorded floranomens.
We managed to record and introduce into scientific circulation 54 floranomens (taking into account descriptive constructions, phrases, diminutive forms and phonetic variants of some words), including 43 names for Juglans regia L., its fruits and cultivars, 5 names for Corylus avellana L. and 3 names for Arachis hypogaea L. Floranomens for hazel and peanut were documented on occasion.
At the same time, we carried out a multilevel linguistic analysis of the corresponding floranomens, taking into account their phonetic, accentual, lexical-semantic, and partially syntactic features; clarified the motivation and etymology of the names, documented their spatial distribution in the Middle Bug area. We have provided samples of colloquial speech that complement and specify the information on nut cultivation in the surveyed area and are also valuable in terms of dialectology, phonetics, lexicology, grammar, ethnography, horticulture, etc. We drew parallels between colloquial vocabulary and the vocabulary represented in the Ukrainian literary language. The prospect of further research lays in the continuation of the description of the names of fruit trees in the dialects of the specified area.
THE TOPONYMY OF THE NOVEL "RECREATION" IN THE CONTEXT OF ANDRUKHOVYCH’S POSTMODERNIST DISCOURSE
Authors: Boeva E. V. , Bosak N. F.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the functional and stylistic features of toponymy, which is observed in the novel of Yu. Andruhovich, who is considered to be a bright representative of the postmodern artistic discourse. In modern linguistics, the potential possibilities of literary and artistic onymes of postmodern works have not yet been sufficiently studied, this vocabulary has been occasionally the object of linguistic analysis. Namely, in the toponymicon (and more broadly, the onomasticon) of the "new Ukrainian novel" there have been reflected postmodern masquerade, irony, grassrootsness and emotional markedness. The study of toponyms appears to be quite interesting and relevant, because the creation of such units is a creative process that depends on the artistic intention of the author; toponyms determine the chronotope of the work, take an active part in the creation of images, cause certain associations, develop symbolic meanings. Therefore, the study of onymia, and in particular the toponymy of the novel, is crucial for the study of the writer’s authorial idiostyle, the peculiarities of the linguistic picture of the world created by him.
The purpose of the presented investigation is the analysis of the toponymicon of the novel "Recreation" by Yu. Andruhovich, aimed at clarifying the semantic and functional specifics of this important category of onyms as markers of the writer’s idiostyle.
The object of the study was the onomasticon of the novel "Recreations", and the subject of consideration was various categories of toponyms as structural components of the idyllic complex. Descriptive, statistical methods, as well as the method of contextual analysis have been used in the analysis.
It has been revealed that the toponymy in Yu. Andruhovich’s novel constitutes a solid lexical layer, has a wide range of action in the artistic text and is determined by a rich symbolic semanticization due to the spread of the connotative meaning of toponyms. By generating new meanings of his own vocabulary, the writer expands the semantic-pragmatic parameters of the artistic text and proves that the toponymic space units have inexhaustible resources for solving the artistic tasks of postmodernism. It has been proved that toponyms in the novel "Recreations" perform the function of not only a local-temporal identifier, but also a certain symbolic reinterpretation. The results of the study of the toponymic space of Yu. Andruhovich’s novel showed that, due to the high activity and a kind of "playing" in the text, toponyms constitute an important element of the writer’s idiostyle, his language palette, and at the same time reveal the author’s own manner of onomastic writing, his postmodern intentions. A systematic analysis of the onomastic code of the Ukrainian postmodern discourse as a promising direction can be the subject for further research.
ONLINE PSEUDONYMS OF UKRAINIAN FANFICTION AUTHORS
Authors: Kadochnikova O. P. , Kotsur K. A.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to a systematic study of the online pseudonyms used by authors of a new genre of popular culture ‒ fan literature (fanfiction). A review of the scientific literature on the topic reveals that the system of virtual pseudonymy is increasingly attracting the attention of linguists. However, its theoretical understanding remains a controversial issue in both Ukrainian and foreign linguistic circles. Based on a pragmatic-communicative analysis, the article establishes an irrefutable connection between network pseudonyms and the personal identity of their bearers. It has been found that the network autonyms of fan literature creators are primarily intended to ensure a person’s membership in a virtual community by enabling registration on a web resource. They also express various components of the author’s individual identity: they mark a person as an amateur artist, express their attitude toward the virtual community and their vision of their place in it, and emphasize certain personal characteristics. In terms of the principles of creation, the studied proper names largely coincide with traditional artistic pseudonyms while also revealing specific features related to the increased attention to the visual form of the name, its length, and the choice of nominal models. This is due to the established traditions and existing technical limitations in the virtual environment.
The theoretical substantiation of the phenomenon of online pseudonymity is supplemented by a description of the linguistic features of the online pseudonyms used by fanfic authors. Since the practical study of Internet pseudonyms is characterized by a multiplicity of analytical approaches, an attempt is made to systematically describe the analyzed group of self-names based on the following criteria: motivation, method of creation, features of structure, and semantics.
It is shown that the nominative trends in the analyzed community, although largely based on traditional anthroponymic formulas, tend to maximize the formal, grammatical, and semantic differentiation of the constituent bases. This indicates that the authors are revealing their creative potential, and their pseudonyms testify to the heterogeneity of the cultural community. The network pseudonyms of users in the Ukrainian-language segment of the Internet form a diverse and dynamic system, which highlights its prospects for further research.
INDIVIDUAL PECULIARITIES OF THE SPEECH BEHAVIOR OF A FEMALE REBEL IN TAMARA HORIKHA ZERNYA’S NOVEL "DAUGHTER"
Authors: Yakovlieva O. V. , Strii L. I.
Published: October 2024

Rebellion as a form of deviant behavior has been studied by psychologists, sociologists, literary critics and linguists. In linguistics, this type of behavior (speech behavior in particular) can be studied through the lens of various fields of knowledge — linguistic personology, pragmatics, gender linguistics, psycholinguistics, etc. This study is an attempt to analyze rebellion as a peculiar type of personal behavior at different levels: verbal and action, which was expressed in specific words, phrases and actions.
The relevance of the chosen topic lies in the fact that, firstly, rebellion is described within the framework of psycholinguistics, taking into account the archetypes identified by Carl Jung on the basis of the novel "Daughter" by Tamara Horikha Zernya about the war that began in 2014; secondly, the dynamics of rebellion in all its manifestations is observed: in the speech behavior and in the specific actions of a young woman who consciously resists in the occupied territory of Donetsk.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the manifestations of a woman’s individual rebellion expressed by linguistic means in different communicative situations and in the process of auto-communication. The object of the research was the protagonist’s dialogues and monologues in the process of the occupiers’ military actions. The subject of the study is the linguistic means of expressing the increasing level of rebellion in a woman’s mental state as a counteraction to enemies. The research material is the text of the fictional work of the documentary book "Daughter". In the process of analysis, the following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, descriptive method, inductive method, as well as the method of psycholinguistic and contextual-interpretive analysis.
The Daughter experiences different mental states, as evidenced by her speech. During peaceful times, she does not use rude words. With the enemies, she switches to the language of the occupiers, puts on different masks: a frightened girl, a grown woman and a sister who rejoices in the "liberators" as well as a brave fighter etc. The prospect for further research lies in the analysis of contemporary texts about the war, which describe the rebellion of Ukrainian heroes.
THE LINGUISTIC CATEGORY OF EVALUATION AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS IN THE UKRAINIAN MASS MEDIA
Authors: Kryvenchenko D. S.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the characterisation and interpretation of the linguistic category of evaluation, its essence and main features on the basis of modern mass media texts.
The ambiguity of scientists’ interpretation of the nature of evaluation as a complex multidimensional linguistic, cultural and linguistic-pragmatic phenomenon with a dual nature — linguistic and mental — requires us to consider the peculiarities of the linguistic category of evaluation as an axiological component of word semantics.
We understand evaluation as the result of the speaker’s activity in relation to the subject of speech, which is verbally fixed in the sense of heterogeneous linguistic units united by evaluative semantics, expressing a positive or negative attitude towards it in accordance with the existing ideal model of the world and aiming to evoke the speaker’s predicted reaction in the addressee of the message. Evaluative values are expressed at all levels of language: lexical, syntactic and phonetic. Evaluation fulfils cognitive, communicative, pragmatic and linguistic-cultural functions; it forms the idea of values or anti-values. The set of values reflects the hierarchical scale in which the spiritual culture of a given society is represented. It is proved that the linguistic category of evaluation is a means of realising the positive or negative significance of the results of human activity for the satisfaction of their objectively determined needs and interests. It was found that evaluation, which is explicitly or implicitly linked to comparison, always contains subjective (modal evaluation framework) and objective (descriptive, attributive) components that interact with each other.
SOCIAL NETWORKS FOR EDUCATORS AND SCIENTISTS IN ASPECT OF LINGUIST PERSONOLOGY: SPEECH GENRES OF IMAGE CREATION
Authors: Kondratenko N. V.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the main speech genres of posts on the Facebook social network that present the personal image of scientists and educators. The purpose of the research is to determine and characterize the peculiarities of the presentation of the professional image of scientists and educators in social networks in terms of the use of speech genres. The object of the research is the verbal content of the network discourse, and the subject of the research is the linguistic means of representing the linguistic personality in the network discourse. The material for the analysis was the open personal pages of Ukrainian scientists and educators in the Facebook, in particular the actual verbal content for the year 2024. In total, more than 100 profiles of Ukrainian scientists and educators were analyzed.It is proven that the linguistic personality of a scientist and educator is formed primarily in the process of professional activity and socialization, and its presentation in social networks involves the creation of author’s content, active participation in professional communities and interaction with colleagues. The main form of presentation of a professional image is a personal page that combines verbal and non-verbal content. Within the limits of verbal content, the main means of forming a professional image is an original post in which different speech genres are distinguished. The most common speech genres representing verbal content on the personal page of a scientist and educator are a report and an announcement. Both genres are informative and are designed to acquaint the public with the achievements and activities of the content author. Ritual genres and dialogic interaction with colleagues are represented to a lesser extent. The least frequent is the analytical genre, which has features of argumentative discourse. In addition to original posts, scientists and educators share other users’ posts on social networks, participate as commentators in the discussion of current problems, in particular within the framework of specialized virtual communities.
ACTUALIZATION OF THE PROBLEMS OF ONOMASTIC PSYCHOLOGY WITH REFERENCE TO THE THEORY OF LINQUOPSYCHO ACCENTUATION
Authors: Papish V. A.
Published: October 2024

The subject of the article is actualization of the study of onyms with stress on their psycholinguistic aspect .The relevance of the study is stipulated by the fact that it is necessary to keep developing the theoretical provisions on onomastic proceeding from the newly evolved trends, one of which is psycholinquistic which meanwhile not duly studied. Since the study of onomastic psycholinguistics is to some extend fall to the range of problems of literature onomastics, its analysis requires application of some methods eligible for psycholinquistic science, while the achieved scientific gains are actualized with positive results.The anymic material is thoroughly analyzed by applying descriptive method particularly involving analysis of psychological sources, namely studies of K. Leonhard and A. Lychko about accentuated individuals.The subject of the article is to present some separate elements of the onymic picture of the world via vision of accentuated individuals, to outline the prospects for definition of the psycholinquistic onomastic as new onomastic trend, and estimate the prospects for development of this theory from the point view of new trends arising in the field of functioning of onyms. Special attention is drawn to the anyms used in the fiction and publicist texts of the Ukrainian classical writes (V. Vinnichenko ,P. Kulish , L. Ukrajinka, M. Kotsubynsky) and the regional writers of Zakarpattya (I. Chandei and F. Potushniak). It is pointed out that psychological information may be presented inherently by itself — by the form of onyms or adherently — by lexical environment. Herein the onyms are presented as they (1) become markers of linguo-psycho-accentuation provided they are used highly frequently what is specially visible in the potent text correlation, (2) manifest themselves potentially in the modeling expressive connotations in the relative context and (3) become sources for origination of new denotative contacts. Herein the examination carried out of а) anyms of titles, b) anyms of dedication c) anyms of pseudonyms as they are actualized within the context of hysteroidity, hyperthymism, depression, and paranoidness. It is proved that the anymic picture of the world of an accentuated individual is determined by his specific psychotype, while the prospective investigation is defined as requirement of development of new trend nominated as psycholinquistic anomastic, in particular , it is necessary to examine the specifics of modeling of relevant linguistic elements via prism of psychic processes.
STAGES OF THE ANALYSIS OF RELIGIOUS VOCABULARY IN THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Chetaikina V. V.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to a review of the methodology for analyzing the functioning of religious vocabulary in the American presidential discourse. The work defines the political discourse, distinguishes the genres of the American presidential discourse, develops an algorithm for their research, and highlights the methods of analysis. One of the types of institutional discourse is political discourse, which is a reflection of the socio-political life of the country, contains elements of its culture, as well as features of the national character, general and national-specific cultural values, and aims to gain and maintain political power. The main functions of political discourse are informative, instrumental, prognostic, normative, legitimating, persuasive and political propaganda. The genre space of the presidential discourse is determined by the general political system of the state, the historical and political traditions of the institution of the presidency, and the sociocultural conditions for the existence of political discourse. These extralinguistic factors, as well as the nature of the main intention, allow us to distinguish such genres of US presidential discourse as ritualistic, orientational, and agonal. In the linguistic literature, there is a large number of classifications of political discourse strategies. In our work, we adhere to the classification according to which the following communicative strategies are inherent in political discourse: self-presentation, discrediting, manipulation, self-defense, information-interpretive, forming the emotional mood of the addressee, argumentative strategy, agitation. Each of these strategies is represented by a number of tactics. The search for effective ways of analyzing and describing the semantics and function of religious vocabulary in the American presidential discourse determined the choice of the main approaches to the research object. The methods used in linguistic studies involve the implementation of a system of procedures for studying the object of research and verification of the obtained results. Typical guidelines of systematic philological analysis include paying attention to the semantic, substantive side of the text, represented by text categories, and to the communicative immersion of the text in discursive reproduction. For a systemic complex analysis, the work involves such methods that take into account the communicative essence of the discourse text, reflect the significance of the text in the light of its generation and interpretation.
SPEECH DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES FOR UKRAINIAN CHILDREN IN FORCED MIGRATION: THE ROLE OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOCIAL CONTEXTS
Authors: Shevchuk-Kliuzheva O. V.
Published: October 2024

This article explores the speech development challenges encountered by Ukrainian children in forced migration, with a focus on the influential roles of primary and secondary social contexts. The study delves into how these contexts shape early multilingualism, emphasizing the complex dynamics within the family and educational settings. In the primary society, we investigate family language policies, examining how language education strategies are implemented within families. In many cases, bilingualism arises by default due to the presence of both Ukrainian and Russian in the linguistic repertoire of parents and close relatives. This often leads to natural code-switching and a bilingual development pattern among children. Through survey data, we analyze the first language and home language usage of Ukrainian children, providing a detailed understanding of their initial linguistic environment. The study highlights how family-driven language policies contribute to the maintenance and development of both Ukrainian and Russian languages, despite the challenges posed by displacement. In addition to the primary societal influences, the article scrutinizes the impact of the Polish-speaking educational environment, representing the secondary society. The integration of Ukrainian children into Polish pre-schools introduces a new linguistic dimension, fostering the development of active trilingualism. We examine how exposure to Polish, alongside Ukrainian and Russian, influences the children’s speech development and cultural adaptation.
The findings underscore the intricate relationship between home and educational environments in shaping the linguistic trajectories of Ukrainian children in forced migration. By navigating through familial bilingualism and the demands of the Polish educational system, these children develop unique multilingual capabilities.

Published: October 2024

Since the outbreak of Covid-19 the humanity has faced great global health crisis. Covid-19 have affected all countries of the world, causing thousands of deaths and economic hardships. In United Kingdom as well as other regions of the world, the virus is infectious to people of all aspects of life, social, political, economic as well as moral. The objectives of this study was to ) to understand the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 pandemic in UK; 2) to understand the spatiotemporal characteristics of COVID-19 pandemic in UK, and 3) to map out the high risk areas/regions of COVID-19 pandemic in UK. To achieve these objectives, a quantitative study was conducted using secondary data collected from various sources. The data collected included Covid-19 statistics of tests, confirmed cases, and deaths in UK. The data analysis techniques applied comparative analysis, descriptive statistics and spatial autocorrelation using Moran’s I index (Local Indicators of Spatial Association). The findings of the study indicated that that England has the highest rates of confirmed Covid-19 case, deaths and conducted tests while Northern Ireland has the lowest rates of confirmed Covid-19 case, deaths and conducted tests. There were no correlation or relationship between the regions under study, in terms of Covid-19 reported cases, tests or deaths. For both year 2020 and 2021, the Covid-19 confirmed cases, tests and deaths among the four neighboring regions were significantly different from each other. The research recommends that each nation should bear its responsibility of adopting and implementing measures geared towards addressing and controlling the spread of Covid-19 pandemic. As well, individuals should take personal preventive measures to avoid being infected with Covid-19 virus, especially in the high risky areas.

While actions leading to environmental degradation already have global consequences threatening the very existence of humanity, the war in Ukraine has once again proved the effectiveness of existing international environmental protection mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to analyze existing international environmental protection mechanisms from the perspective of the possibility of criminalizing the crime of ecocide. Based on the analysis of the domestic law of countries that have incorporated ecocide as a crime, it follows that national approaches to addressing this issue depend on historical conditions and have significant differences. These differences hinder the prosecution of ecocide in the absence of appropriate international legal mechanisms, while the consequences of ecocide cause global damage. An analysis of the state of international regulations has shown that despite the existence of an extensive environmental protection mechanism, it remains imperfect, thus making it impossible to prosecute ecocide unless it is done in connection with war crimes. An assessment of the data presented in the reports on the war in Ukraine shows that participation in relevant international conventions does not in any way guarantee that the aggressor country will not violate its international obligations. It is shown that recognizing ecocide as a crime at the international level remains the only effective means to bring perpetrators to justice. The results of the study can be used to further improve the legal mechanisms for prosecuting ecocide, in teaching legal disciplines, and in further academic research.
Students' conception of partial derivatives of a function of several variables

Published: October 2024

The study aimed to explore and assess students' conceptual understanding of partial derivatives in functions of several variables. A case study research design was employed, with four classes randomly selected for participation. Qualitative data were collected through interviews and open-ended questions developed by the researchers. The analysis was conducted using APOS theory, based on the proposed genetic decomposition. The findings reveal that the majority of students’ understanding falls under action conception, interpreting partial derivatives similarly to single-variable derivatives. Additionally, many students struggled to extend their knowledge from single-variable derivatives to partial derivatives and faced difficulties in converting between algebraic/symbolic and graphical representations. Based on these results, the researchers recommend that educators adopt instructional strategies that foster deeper conceptual understanding, rather than relying on traditional teaching methods.
Keywords: APOS Theory; conceptual understanding; function of several variables; partial derivatives
The impact of human resources competency and spiritual intelligence on the performance of teachers
Authors: Rosdiana Weni , Noviana Nana
Published: October 2024

Because of the numerous adjustments teachers must make in response to evolving instructional circumstances, their performance is currently emphasized. This serves as the context for understanding how well teachers are performing in terms of spiritual intelligence and human resources competency. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, this study collects data from vocational school teachers in Indonesia's East Java Province by use of questionnaires. After 276 questionnaires were received and deemed eligible, SEM PLS was used to evaluate the data. This study indicates that factors related to spiritual intelligence can act as a moderator to strengthen the relationship between human resources competence and improved teacher performance. Both human resources competence and spiritual intelligence are positive contributors to improved teacher performance. A clearer path is provided by spiritual intelligence. Teachers will find it simpler to perform at their best if they are not just competent but also have a work ethic that is devoted, willing/obedient, compassionate, grateful, and respectful of others.
