Authors: O'Rourke Teresa , Pryss Rüdiger , Schlee Winfried , Probst Thomas
Published: October 2020

Background
A multitude of health-related mobile applications is available to the public in app stores. Many of these apps were not developed by health professionals and do not keep what they promise. To facilitate a safe handling and use of such apps, it is important to assess their quality in a standardized way. Some instruments for app quality assessment exist, although they have some limitations, which we want to improve on with this new assessment tool.
Objectives
The objective of this paper is to introduce a new multidimensional criteria-based tool for the quality assessment of health-related apps.
Method
Based on existing app-quality assessment tools and guidelines for evaluating health-related app-quality, items were constructed to assess objective and subjective app-quality. A pretest in form of cognitive testing was conducted with six participants and some items were optimized.
Results
An expert and a user version of AQUA were developed in English and German language. The expert version consists of 31 items in the seven dimensions Usability, User Engagement, Content, Visual Design, Therapeutic Quality, Security and Information. The user version consists of 34 items and additionally includes the dimension Impact.
Conclusion
AQUA is a brief multidimensional app-quality assessment tool that can be used for the quality assessment of health-related and mental health-related apps by experts and app-users.

Authors: Barrera Gutiérrez José Luis , Mejía Cruz Diana , Moreno Coutiño Ana Beatriz
Published: October 2020

La Organización Mundial de la Salud refiere que el consumo de drogas psicoactivas es un problema relevante de salud pública en el mundo ya que genera graves consecuencias a nivel individual, familiar y social. En México, de acuerdo con la Encuesta Nacional de Consumo de Drogas, Alcohol y Tabaco, ha habido un incremento en el consumo de drogas legales e ilegales entre los años 2011 y 2016, reportando dependencia a drogas el 0.6% de la población de 12 a 65 años. Se ha encontrado que la mayoría de los consumos de sustancias están relacionadas a factores emocionales como el estrés, los afectos negativos y la sintomatología depresiva y ansiosa. Como parte de las terapias de tercera generación, la de atención plena ha despertado un creciente interés desde 1990 en el campo científico en cuanto que se relaciona con mejoras en la satisfacción de vida, felicidad, reducción de depresión y ansiedad, entre otras psicopatologías (Pérez, 2006). De igual manera, ha sido llevada al campo de las conductas adictivas, demostrando eficacia y efectividad en el tratamiento del consumo de sustancias. El objetivo de esta investigación fue probar los efectos de un tratamiento psicológico basado en la atención plena compasiva sobre la sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva, la felicidad, la compasión y el consumo de sustancias, para lo cual se utilizó un diseño intrasujetos, administrándose a cuatro pacientes con trastornos por consumo de sustancias en una intervención grupal de nueve sesiones. Se tomaron medidas basales, en el postratamiento y el seguimiento a un mes, calculándose el tamaño del efecto clínico de cada una de esas variables. Los resultados sugieren que la intervención de atención plena compasiva fue eficaz para reducir la sintomatología ansiosa y depresiva, la felicidad fluctuante y el patrón de consumo, e incrementar la felicidad duradera y la compasión.

En la comparación intragrupal utilizando la prueba de Friedman, los grupos TAU + DBT STEPS-A y DBT STEPS-A tuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas, mostrando disminución en las dimensiones ansiedad y depresión de la escala DASS 21, así como modificaciones en el puntaje total de la escala DERS-E; asimismo, en las subdimensiones de aceptación y metas y en los puntajes totales de la escala GHQ-12 en el grupo TAU + DBT STEPS-A. Por el contrario, no hubo diferencias en las comparaciones entre los demás grupos del estudio, ni tampoco por género.
Ethics and nutrition safety in patient care during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Permatasari Dian
Published: October 2020

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all aspects of our population. Ethical dilemmas related to the care of patients in the COVID-19 pandemic need to be rapidly addressed by multidisciplinary bioethics committees, with the development of policies and procedures to assist providers in making difficult allocation decisions. Recent ethical considerations regarding allocation of scarce resources, such as mechanical ventilators, have been proposed. These can apply to other disciplines such as nutrition support, although decisions regarding nutrition support have a diminished potential for devastating outcomes. The nutrition support professionals are pivotal in assessing the patient’s overall condition and need for, if any, nutrition interventions.

Authors: Nur'aini Dwi Lisa , Kurniati Ardesy Melizah , Damayanti Moretta , Mahmudah Nur
Published: October 2020

Background: Adequate fluid consumption and hydration status of students become a special concern because being dehydrated by just 1%-2% can impair cognitive performance. The objectives of this study were to assess the daily fluid consumption, and analyze the correlation of fluid consumption and other associated factors with hydration status of medical students in Universitas Sriwijaya.Methods: A total of 93 medical students in Universitas Sriwijaya were recruited to complete a 7-day cross-sectional study. Subjects were asked to complete a self-administered 7-day-24-hours fluid record and provide first morning urine sample on the last day. Gender information was collected. Physical activity was evaluated by self-administered long version of IPAQ. Body mass index was calculated using body weight and body height measurement. Urine specific gravity was determined by urinometer. The 7-day-24-hours fluid record and 1-day-24-hours urine specific gravity were calculated and analyzed.Results: Majority of the subjects were well hydrated, while 10.8% were slightly hydrated, 6.5% were moderately hydrated and 9.7% were severely dehydrated. The average of daily fluid consumption was 1789.28 (989.3-2930) mL. Coefficient correlation of fluid consumption from beverages with urine specific gravity was -0.651 (p=0.00) by Pearson correlation test. The hydration status showed no association with gender, physical activity and body mass index.Conclusions: Most subjects in this study were well hydrated. A strong association was found between fluid consumption and hydration status. It was feasible to use daily fluid consumption from beverages to predict hydration status.
CONSTRUCTIONS WITHOUT PREPOSITIONS FOR THE DESIGNATION OF TIME IN THE WORK OF M. MYTSENKO (MORPHOLOGICAL ASPECT)
Authors: Bilyk Yana
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the consideration of temporal non-noun verbal constructions with temporal relation with generic and noun pronouns without prefix in the role of morphological variants of temporal syntaxes in the artistic speech of M. Mytsenko. This work continues a number of publications on the writer’s prose, including temporal word forms and predictive structures with meaning of action over time that materialize a powerful system of contrasts. The basic forms of expression of temporal value, as well as the group of dependent noun and adverbial components of the formal-syntactic structure of word combinations are determined. It is found that the productivity and frequency of the use of structures with generic time in the study is rather limited, since in parallel with the generic in function of time of indefinite duration, almost the same case is used freely under the same conditions. Generic nameless time means an action that "does not last for all time" but refers to one moment, one part of a certain period of time. It is represented in verbs of various lexical-semantic and morphological digits. Covers narrow layers of vocabulary (days of the week, year, etc.) and is used only with the adjectivе.
PROSODY OF GENDER ON THE BRITISH ISLANDS
Authors: Prysiazhnyuk Oksana
Published: October 2020

Gender research is a new area of humanities that is now in the making. It focuses on the cultural and social factors that determine society’s attitudes towards men and women, the behavior of individuals in connection with belonging to gender, stereotypical perceptions of male and female qualities – all that transforms gender issues from the field of biology into the field of social life and culture. The article deals with the difference between male and female voices within frequency, dynamic and temporal characteristics of various regional types of British pronunciation. Intonation appears as a multicomponent system formation in which social and regional peculiarities within individual groups of speakers are refracted in a complex, indirect way, being in constant dialectic unity. The author suggests that frequency of the main tone is one of the main factors which stipulates male and female voices’ specifics. The conducted experiment convinced us that for an objective reflection of the contemporary variation of English intonation on the British Isles, it is necessary to take into account the factors of social and situational variability of speech. A significant difference between male and female voices is observed in the frequency of the descending tones. Both men and women tend to increase descending tones, but women are ahead of men in this direction, increasing the frequency by 22% vs 13%. Accordingly, the frequency of ascending tones decreases, and this trend is largely manifested by women. Consequently, women are particularly sensitive to current trends in the use of tones and become agents of innovation.
METASIMIVOLIZATION AND THE FUNCTIONAL ASPECT OF SYNTHACTIC-STYLISTIC MEANS OF THE GERMAN POSTMODERN TEXT
Authors: Paroviak Ivan
Published: October 2020

The article reviews the scientific literature and traces the main trends in the development of postmodern text and the development of expressive syntax as a stylistic construction during the XX – XXI centuries. Particular attention is paid to the work of domestic and foreign linguists. The main focus is on the study of metasymbolization of metaphorization and metonymization processes with their basic techniques and means that create the emotionally expressive background of prose text. The basic and auxiliary functions of syntactic-stylistic markers in the novels of German postmodernists are examined in details. The syntax of the German language written postmodern prose text is expressive of the processes of metaphorization and metonymization, implicit means known as the “metasymbolization” of syntactic and stylistic units. The process of metaphorization of expressive means of German language postmodern prose is due to allegory, symbolism, and synesthesia. The most typical type of metaphorization was personification. Metonymization in the texture of writing prose text is considered based on spatial and temporal, material and causal, associative and logical and quantitative relationships. Metonymy is syntactic in nature, compared to the semantic nature of metaphor. Functional approach to the study of syntactic-stylistic markers of German expressive syntax in postmodern texts is based on functionalism as a methodology and guided by its basic research principles, since it is in the functions of the syntactic-stylistic markers that the true intentions and reinforce of the postmodern author are strengthened. We see the perspective of our research in a comprehensive comparison of the German-speaking postmodern text of German, Austrian and Swiss postmodernists.
THE PECULIARITIES OF REPRESENTATION OF TIME ANS SPACE MODEL IN THE COLLECTION OF STORIES «WESSEX TALES» BY T.HARDY
Authors: Rosstalna Olena
Published: October 2020

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the representation of time and space model in the collection of short stories «Wessex Tales» by the English writer T.Hardy. Based on a contextual analysis of T. Hardy’s stories, time and space model was singled out as the dominant meaning for the creation of «Wessex Tales». It is proved that the category of time in «Wessex Tales» is a component of the composition of works (in some stories the principle of framing is used). Its functioning in the collection occurs in the form of a two-component model, the elements of which are past and present. It is determined that the specific presentation of the past is a combination of «collective» and «individual» time. While presenting individual facts in the lives of specific heroes in the form of «individual» time, the author introduces them into the context of events of community life in the form of «collective» time. Each individual character’s story thus becomes a part of panoramic depiction of Wessex world, while maintaining a connection with real historical events. «Quasi-historicity» is defined as one of the characteristic features of time. The interaction of temporal levels has also been investigated at the level of conflicts and problems in the writer’s stories and novels (the problem of responsibility for actions, the problem of moral choice, etc.). The peculiarity of space organization in the collection of stories is determined by multilevel (panoramic – local image; realistic – mythopoeticized sketches of the metaphorical plan; the existence of two subspaces in the mythologized model of the world) and multivariate. The article analyzes the closed and open, terrestrial and cosmic, real and imaginary spaces that are realized in the system of images (city, town, house, road, etc.).
LEXICO-STYLISTIC MEANS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS REPRESENTATION (BY CECILIA AHERN’S NOVEL THE TIME OF MY LIFE)
Authors: Cherepovska Tetiana
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the phenomenon of psychological crisis and its representation in psychological fiction. The work of the modern English novelist Cecilia Ahern The Time of my Life was chosen for the analysis. The concept of psychological crisis is viewed through the prism of the protagonist’s reaction to the separation as a kind of a personal loss. The research of the individual author style is focused on the set of lexical, stylistic and compositional means used to actualize the mentioned above concept in the novel. Personification as a key stylistic means is applied by the writer to create an image of the protagonist’s life. A variety of depicting and characterological details serve to trace the evolution of the personage named Life, in correlation with the changes that occur in the protagonist’s consciousness, in her life perception. Another set of details is used to show different manifestations of the crisis disregard: neglected apartment, unhealthy food, inability to maintain a normal relationship with friends. The use of key words, their repetitions in different contexts alongside with flashbacks and their role in the composition of the novel are studied. The implicit details, symbols and metaphors indicating different stages of psychological crisis overcoming (from refusal and stagnation to acceptance and acting) are also analyzed.

Published: October 2020

The role of reading in the process of formation of communicative competence was analyzed. The essence of the concept of competence in reading was defined. The main factors influencing the effectiveness of formation of reading skills in English were defined (the features of perception of written texts – time spent on text processing and length of the text; psychophysiological and individual age features of the students – visual perception of the text, the features of mental operations – ability to analyze and make the conclusions, memory, in particular, visual, attention, intelligence, ability to use the experience of reading in the native language, motivation, the presence of cognitive interest, the ability to apply different reading strategies, etc.; the characteristics of the text – authentic, semi-authentic, adapted texts, compliance with cognitive interests, age and level of language proficiency of the students, etc.). Different classifications of types of reading and their application at different stages of English language learning were analyzed (by the target: educational and introductory search; by the method of content disclosure: analytical and synthetic; by the participation of the native language: translated and non-translated; by the nature of the implementation of the semantic side of perception and processing of the text: reading with incomplete understanding and reading with full understanding; by the nature of the organization of activity: prepared with the removed difficulties – training and unprepared without previously removed difficulties – control; depending on the length: extensive and intensive; by the fact of relation to the educational process: educational and real; by the way of using a bilingual dictionary: reading with or without a dictionary; by the place of organization of reading: classwork or homework). The features of different reading strategies were analyzed (predicting, monitoring, confirming, connecting, questioning, skimming, scanning, distinguishing, using context clues, paraphrasing or summarizing, visualizing). The features of different stages of learning to read were described (pre-reading, while-reading, after-reading). The requirements for the texts for reading in English were generalized. The levels of comprehension of the texts and typical tasks appropriate for each level was given (fragmentary understanding, general understanding, full understanding, critical understanding).

Authors: Gubareva Olga
Published: October 2020

The paper deals with the diachronic aspects of communicative competence development and theoretical issues influencing on the most important methods of teaching foreign languages. Foreign language learning and teaching have undergone a significant paradigm shift as a result of the research and experiences which have expended the theoretical fundamental knowledge about the practical ways of teaching students a foreign language. The sociocultural theory is regarded as a key one in the intercultural competence development. Foreign language acquisition has been revealed to be a complex, multidimensional process influenced by both learners and environment variables, so significantly new teacher’s responsibilities have been focused on and the emphasis has been put on the learner-centered teaching methods as the most effective to motivate learners to develop their communicative abilities. In such learning environment the teacher’s role is changed from an authority figure to a facilitator. Special attention has been paid to the modern computer technologies of teaching a foreign language. The use of social media such as FB, Twitter and so on, incorporated in classroom problem-solving tasks introduces a new dimension to the teaching and learning process. Methodologically classroom-oriented research has been considered to improve teaching practices leading to greater language proficiency and success among foreign language learners.

Authors: Chumak Nataliia , Andrienko Tetiana
Published: October 2020

The article deals with some new challenges that foreign language (FL) teachers face in the classroom while teaching the students of Generation Z. It also deals with edutainment as one of the methods in coping with those challenges. Nowadays Generation Z is the only generation of “digital natives” who have used digital technology since a very young age and are comfortable with the Internet and social media. These students like to experiment in learning, prefer visual learning, are good team players, they tend to have short attention spans, and prefer edutainment. Generation Z students appreciate learning if they consider it interactive with games and fun activities incorporated into the FL and curriculum. FL teachers need to use more technology in their teaching strategies. Teachers need to update their teaching strategies. They need to adopt more technology-based tasks, including visual content and to give students opportunities to feedback. It’s a good idea to start a class blog and think of reasons how students can use the class blog. Generation Z are multi-taskers so FL teacher can incorporate pictures, sounds, video into all the teaching activities. Students can also have listening, writing and speaking activities at the same time. FL teacher can also use such applications and resources as Kahoot!, Socrative, Pole Everywhere, Quizlet, YouTube, Instagram etc.
SEMANTICS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH THERMAL COMPONENT DENOTING HUMAN EMOTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Soshko Oksana
Published: October 2020

The article focuses on the peculiarities of the semantics of phraseologisms with a thermal component denoting emotional characteristics of a person on the material of the Ukrainian, German and English languages. The work is carried out in line with the anthropocentric paradigm, in the framework of which attention is directed to a person as a subject of research, especially to his way of perceiving and conceptualizing the world. Common, similar, and national features that are different in terms of phraseological imagery should be determined by comparing relatively small segments in the phraseology of Ukrainian, German, and English through a multidimensional analysis of their structural and semantic features. The article discusses the components of phraseological units with any thermal indicator – both for cold and high temperature. In the field of phraseology the cultural identity is manifested mainly in the figurative basis (inner form) of phraseological units, despite the fact that the types of rethinking of the studied phraseologisms are reduced primarily to metaphor, metonymy and figurative simile. Unique phraseological units as a reflection of the originality of national culture, mentality and language can be present in all groups of studied units, thus, some components with temperature characteristics are part of phraseological units of all studied languages, while others are less common or identified on the basis of a separate language.
SELF-HELP TITLE: PRAGMATICS, SYNTACTICS, SEMANTICS
Authors: Godis Yulia , Solohub Larysa
Published: October 2020

The article focuses on titles of the texts belonging to the motivational success genre. The texts of the genre under investigation are manuals on achieving success which aim to teach readers to help themselves live successfully and prosperously in the rapidly changing world. The research aims at exploring the pragmatic, syntactic and semantic features of self-help titles. The study was based on 70 titles, selected by the method of continuous sampling on Amazon.com. It has been found that the title complex (a two-tier structure consisting of the main title and the subtitle) is typical for self-help texts. The two elements of such a complex differ in their pragmatics. The functions of self-help titles have been highlighted and described. The key elements (mostly nouns and adjectives that verbalize genre concepts SUCCESS and MONEY) in the titles in question inform about the content of the texts without touching their details. In addition, such elements attract the intended reader – the representative of the modern American society of consumers for whom the highest steps in the hierarchy of values are occupied by material goods. It has been proven that self-help titles intrigue and excite the addressee's imagination, and, by outlining the subject matter, act as a kind of advertising of their texts. Moreover, imperative titles encourage the addressee to take action. In the course of the research, three structural-syntactic models of self-help titles have been identified. The major function of self-help titles – to capture the prospective reader’s interest – is facilitated by the dominant syntactic model of the nominal title, the expressiveness and the semantics of the titles.

The article examines the peculiarities of the individual stylistics of the authors of Ukrainian women's prose of the end of 20th century and the peculiarities of their reproduction in German on the example of the novel “Field Studies on Ukrainian Sex” by O. Zabuzhko. The research is devoted to the analysis of the linguistic personality of the author and translator, their similarities and dominant features. The problems of the study of author’s style in recent years are closely competing with the studies of features of the translator’s style. Literary translation is seen as combining a component in intercultural relationships. In the context of studying the problem of literary translation in recent years the question of the personality of the translator and the dominant features of his or her style in comparison with the author’s style are becoming increasingly relevant with the popularization of foreign language translations. Each translator approaches the process of translating the text in a foreign language with his or her creative personality. O. Zabuzhko’s creativity begins a clear line of Ukrainian literary feminism and post-colonialism. The stylistics of the novel’s language attracts attention through the use of spoken, even vulgar, and sometimes jargon-laced vocabulary in combination with the language of poetry, dialectisms, with the purpose of explaining, as well as the achievement of comically ironic effect. The individual author’s style of O. Zabuzhko is also characterized by the author’s neologisms and the frequent use of diminutive words.

PECULIARITIES AND DIFFICULTIES OF TRANSLATION OF PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC VOCABULARY FROM GERMAN INTO UKRAINIAN
Authors: Soltys Maryana
Published: October 2020

This contribution focuses on the professional psychotherapeutic vocabulary, its origin and development in Ukrainian, and, more specifically, on the significant influence of German concepts on the development of relevant professional vocabulary in Ukrainian. It identifies a number of specific features of such professional vocabulary, such as clarity and attachment to the profession, that is, the embedment of professional terms in a specific terminological system and their readiness for professional use. The quality that differentiates such terms from other subjects, concepts, or processes is accuracy. The vertical gradation of communication of speakers in the psychotherapeutic process, which involves internal communication of professionals with each other, communication of professionals with non-professionals, inter-professional communication, is explored. The development of relevant terminology, its dissemination and derivation from the source language into the recipient language, the impact of the source language on the recipient language, and the rules that such newly formed words comply with are analysed. Specifically, such derivation is possible in the form of transliteration, calquing, or partial derivation, and the translator may resort to the lexical substitution technique, that is, replace individual lexical items of the basic lexeme in the recipient language. The article further describes the specifics of professional vocabulary and the attributes that are common with and different from general vocabulary and explains the role of the translator in the psychotherapeutic process. Potential difficulties and typical mistakes that may arise during such translation are discussed, and ways for overcoming these difficulties are suggested. It also describes the adequacy and equivalence of translation, where adequacy refers to the source and final texts with reference to the purpose of translation.
LINGUAL MEANS OF REPRESENTATION OF THE PRECEDENT PHENOMENA IN THE STORY «THE ABC MURDERS» BY A. CHRISTIE
Authors: Sukhovetska Liudmyla
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the lingual analysis of the precedent phenomena in a short story «The ABC Murders» written by A. Christie. Having considered different approaches to the definition of the precedent phenomenon the author singles out the main properties of that phenomenon. It has been found out that the layer of precedent names is represented by such lingual units as anthroponyms and their derivatives, toponyms and their derivatives, ergonomics and titles of literary works. Verbalization of barbarisms of French etymology and catch phrases constitute the layer of precedent expressions. As for the layer of precedent text it is actualized by quotations with authorship. In the context of the narration, the precedent units carry out a number of functions. Some of the precedent elements take part in the shape of the plot of the story by naming protagonists, place or time of the narration. In the explanatory function they bring additional information or arguments to the speech. Precedent phenomenon with positive connotation applied by the speaker to himself allows him to express self-criticism. In the expressive function it makes the speech sound more emphatic. Precedent phenomenon used in the emotive function indicates at the emotional state of the speaker. In the descriptive function it restores a vivid image of the object or subject. Characterizing function highlights a certain feature of the protagonist.
POLITICAL DISCOURSE CONTENT ANALYSIS: A CRITICAL OVERVIEW OF A COMPUTERIZED TEXT ANALYSIS PROGRAM LINGUISTIC INQUIRY AND WORD COUNT (LIWC)
Authors: Yanovets Angelika , Smal Oksana
Published: October 2020

The article examines and analyzes the linguistic and psychological features of political discourse using a computer-based Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) content analysis program to explore the relationship between political discourse and the personality of politicians. As for political discourse, it is perhaps the communicator, the linguistic personality, who plays the most important role in the communication. The linguistic personality of a politician is of particular interest in political discourse content-analysis, since it has the greatest influence on the public consciousness via mass media. Using text as a source of psychological and cognitive information has been gaining popularity. Researchers use a variety of methods to analyze texts, but Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) has proved to be the most common technique. The analysis of linguistic patterns of political discourse shows that in the context of political speech events such as media interviews, politicians make a unique choice of lexical units, which can be interpreted as a manifestation of certain personality traits. However, despite the significance of the results, there are clear limitations to the use of computerized methodologies to make political discourse content-analysis, such as the limited interpretive capacity of software to understand pragmatic and contextual use of lexical units.
