Authors:   V.N. Tatishchev Astrakhan State University, Grokhovskaya Irina A.
Published: October 2024

The semantic field of medicine occupies a leading position in the modern linguocultural space. A significant number of studies considering this topic in various aspects have been done recently. Despite the increased interest in this issue, the layer of substandard lexical units relating to the semantic field of medicine remains insufficiently explored. This article presents the author’s classification of substandard lexical units of the semantic field of medicine in English and Russian. The classification was developed according to the results of the distribution of substandard lexical units by lexico-semantic groups at the first level and semantic subgroups at the second level. To determine whether the substandard lexical units belong to the subject area “Medicine”, the author turned to the standardized nomenclature groups of the medical terminological system. The material was obtained using continuous sampling of lexical units from the most authoritative English-language and Russian-language dictionaries of substandard vocabulary. The selected lexical units were ranked according to the basic semantic characteristics underlying the naming of a particular substandard lexical unit. With the help of the lexico-semantic analysis, this approach allows us to identify lexico-semantic groups whose meanings fit into the semantic field of medicine. As a result, 12 English and 11 Russian lexico-semantic groups were updated. Then, within these lexicosemantic groups, semantic subgroups were determined, whose basis is additional semantic characteristics. Using the results obtained, a quantitative (numerical) and qualitative (presence/absence of semantic characteristics) composition of substandard lexical units within the English- and Russian-language semantic field of medicine was analysed, their similarities and differences were identified.
Метафорический медиаобраз пожилого человека в китайской социальной сети «Доуинь»
Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Nagibina Irina G. , Morgun Viktoriya G.
Published: October 2024

Currently, short-form video hosting services are gaining popularity in China, which means that their influence on society is rapidly increasing. Multimodal perceptual images constructed by these short videos have integrity, structure and constancy. One of the most well-known social media platforms in China for watching short videos and creating a certain image is Douyin. It is important to note that one of the key media images broadcast in this social network is the media image of an elderly person. This can be explained not only by the attractiveness of an elderly character and his/her hobbies, but also by the fact that the elderly population in China has been growing (rapid ageing phenomenon) due to an increase in life expectancy and declining birthrate. The article analyses the metaphorical model that actualizes various features of the representation of the media image of an elderly person in Chinese media discourse. The screening of Douyin videos conducted by the authors is based on such methods as contextual and descriptive analysis, as well as cultural interpretation. The paper turns to the theory of metaphorical modelling and views the concept of metaphor not only as a separate type of discourse, but also as a means of conceptualizing an image in the minds of native speakers. The most frequent metaphors used to create a media image of an elderly person are as follows: “an elderly person is a child”, “an elderly person is a saint/immortal being” and “an elderly person is a treasure/precious thing”. The study also points out that in the Chinese media space, the image of an elderly person is positive since an older adult has a number of skills and characteristics that meet the needs and interests of the majority of the platform’s users.
Verum, focus, and certainty
Authors: Bassel Noa
Published: October 2024

Verum Focus is known as a prosodic pattern that places stress on verbs or auxiliaries and conveys certainty in a statement’s truth value. Previous literature is conflicted as to whether the effect of certainty arrives from a covert ‘truth’ operator, and to what extent focus alternatives are involved in the process. I show that focus alternatives and covert operators are independent mechanisms in Verum Focus utterances, which jointly trigger an inference of speaker’s certainty through a scalar implicature.

El objetivo del presente artículo de revisión es  generar recomendaciones para el manejo y el tratamiento farmacológico de mayor impacto en los pacientes con tormenta arrítmica según lo publicado en la literatura mundial. Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura en las bases de datos PubMed y Scielo, orientada hacia artículos actualizados y relevantes en inglés o español, publicados en los últimos 10 años, en los cuales se detalla la importancia clínica de la tormenta arrítmica, además de sus implicaciones y el abordaje terapéutico. Esta patología es multifactorial, siendo de gran importancia el diagnóstico oportuno que permita el control de la causa desencadenante. Dada su alta recurrencia y mortalidad, los pacientes deben ser vigilados en una unidad de cuidadointensivo. El abordaje y manejo de la tormenta arrítmica es un reto en la actualidad, dado que se trata de una situación clínica con alta mortalidad, tanto precoz como tardía, siendo el tratamiento farmacológico antiarrítmico, la programación del desfbrilador y la ablación con catéter las técnicas más importantes para la solución de esta patología.
“Lobbying of Interests” as a Business Practice
Authors:   Synergy University, Osipenko Oleg V. , Kovalenko Alexander I. ,   Synergy University
Published: October 2024

This paper provides a comprehensive study of the concept of lobbying of interests, covering both theoretical aspects and practical application of this term in the Russian judicial system. The study consists of two main stages: a comprehensive review of scientific literature on the topic of lobbying and a detailed analysis of court decisions of various instances of the Russian Federation, in which the term “lobbying” appears. The main goal of the study is to identify and compare interpretations of the concept of “lobbying” in scientific discourse and judicial practice. The authors seek to determine whether there are discrepancies between theoretical concepts and practical application of this term in the legal sphere. The review of scientific literature demonstrates duality in the understanding of lobbying. On the one hand, there is a positive interpretation, characterizing lobbying as an open, legal and informative process. On the other hand, there is a negative interpretation, associating lobbying with shadow, corrupt and illegal practices. The analysis of court decisions revealed a notable trend: in Russian judicial practice, the term “lobbying” is used exclusively in a negative context. This indicates a significant gap between the scientific understanding of lobbying and its perception in the legal system. Of particular interest is the expansion of the concept of lobbying in some court decisions discovered by the authors. In some cases, the term is applied not only to influencing government bodies, but also to attempts to influence decisions of commercial entities. This observation opens up new prospects for studying the evolution of the concept of lobbying as a business practice in the Russian legal field. This study makes a significant contribution to understanding the complexity and versatility of the concept of lobbying, emphasizing the need for further study of the discrepancies between theoretical approaches and the practical application of this concept in the legal sphere. The results of the work can serve as a basis for improving legislation in the field of regulating lobbying activities and increasing the transparency of decision-making processes in both the public and commercial sectors.

Published: October 2024

The task of substantiating the image and the main features of the desirable and possible future of the Russian economy is one of the urgent problems of the economic science. The paper implements an integrated approach to the study of the future. This study combines certain methods of systems analysis of the economy, conceptual analysis of social justice and constructive design of competition relations. The methodological peculiar feature of this study is about the consideration of systems economy as its voluminous description in the form of a combination of systems economic theory, systems economic policy, systems economic management, systems economic practice. The characteristic features of these four subsystems of the future economy that differs from the current economy have been studied. A comparative analysis of the principles of the Russian systems economy and the ideas of the Confucian tradition in China makes it possible to see the similarities of these two teachings and to formulate the features of the trajectory of development of the Russian economy, considering the experience of the development of the PRC economy. As soon as major agents of the systems economy are economic systems, the problem of constructing the concept of justice in relations between the systems arises. The corresponding theory has been developed in this paper on the basis of the systems paradigm. The general concept of effective competition has been examined using the example of competition between socio-economic ecosystems as relatively stable complexes of organizations, business processes, innovative projects and infrastructure systems. It has been shown that the competition between ecosystems of the same type is the most significant (object, process, project or environmental). The position of competition among the major relations between the participants in the economic activity from indifference to consolidation (merger) has been determined. The main features of the desired and the possible future of the Russian economy and the society have been substantiated.

Leachate landfill refers to the liquid that drains from a landfill site, containing organic and inorganic compounds, heavy metals, and harmful pollutants that contribute to environmental risks if it is not treated properly. This study aims to detail characterize the leachate landfill and elucidate the mechanism of coagulation (using aluminium and iron-based coagulant) and electrochemical oxidation for leachate treatment. Jar test was conducted at different dosages of aluminium sulphate and copperas and different initial pH of raw leachate, specifically for COD, BOD and TSS removal. Colour however, a crucial leachate parameter that needs be treated and chemical coagulation was not good enough to remove it. Thus, electro- oxidation has been applied to treat colour in leachate treatment. Overall findings show that aluminium sulphate promoted a better performance in coagulation treatment of leachate compared to copperas when it was successfully removed 75%, 94% and 96% COD, BOD and TSS, respectively, at optimum dosage of 1000ppm and initial pH of 7. The coagulation-adsorption analysis revealed that the use of Alum in coagulation adsorption to remove BOD, COD, and TSS from leachate might be viewed as a multilayer formation with non-uniform distribution of adsorbed particles. While the electro-oxidation (EO) was successfully removed around 80% colour after the treatment process. The integration process of chemical coagulation and electro- oxidation exhibited a good fundamental knowledge that can be applied for pilot and industrial scale of leachate treatment.

Authors: Nur Fareeza Zulkifli  , Siti Amira Othman
Published: October 2024

This research investigated lysozyme stability in the presence of magnetic particles for drug delivery. Lysozyme can mostly be found in the hen egg albumin, and it also acts as an essential agent, which is antibodies to fight harmful bacteria or shield the human body. The problems in this research are magnetic particles that can cause toxicity and reduce the therapy's efficiency due to the degradation of carriers (drugs). To minimise this problem, the stability and activity of the lysozyme and Fe2O3 were investigated. The structure of lysozyme and Fe2O3 before and after adding acid or alkaline was defined, and the suitability of Fe2O3 as a drug delivery was determined. The stability of the lysozyme and Fe2O3was identified using an Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectrophotometer, and the structure was investigated using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope- Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX). Different concentrations become the parameters of this research as a comparison between the samples. This research found that the combination of the lysozyme alkaline material was suitable for the body at a pH of 12.2. It also found that Fe2O3 is ideal for drug delivery in the body when the lysozyme can be carried by Fe2O3 and dissolved in the Fe2O3.

Transmutation Based on Cold Fusion Affects the Electrochemical and Biological Experiments
Authors: Kodama Noriyuki
Published: October 2024

Cold fusion is caused by the generation of femto-D2, which electron orbit is deeper than n=1 and electron orbit is at a few femto-meters from the nucleus. Because the electron density between d-d is so dense that it can shield the coulomb repulsive force between d- d to cause cold fusion. femto-D2 is generated on the surface with nano-roughness of metal with FCC lattice structure, and compression at the reaction site, Thes mechanism of Cold Fusion elucidates mysterious phenomena involving hydrogen that had previously remained unexplained. For the electrochemistry researcher should understand the mechanism of transmutation with femto-H2 because it elucidates the mechanism of oxhydroelectric effect, which is caused by the femto-H2 transmutation of H2O to generate proton. The researcher on biological study should understand the mechanism of biological transmutation and transmutation by the compressed chemical bond. For example, 39 19K+1p=40 20Ca by chemical bond compression of H2O to generate a neutron(femto- hydrogen), and 28 14Si+12 6C=40 20Ca by chemical bond compression of Si-C. Compression of H2O can cause the power generation from ambient humidity using protein nanowires by the compression of H2O to generate protons. Therefore, I would like to request the electrochemical and biology to mass analyze the water to confirm the transmutation mentioned above. Because this area of research is new and few researchers on biology and electrochemistry knows the mechanism, Thus I would like to spread this new mechanism of transmutation.

Investigating the Influence of Wavelength-Specific Textured Backgrounds in Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) Imaging
Authors: Hegde Dhruv , Gupta Tejash , Haran Vikram , Shurdha Ray , Filocamo William , Corey Mason
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the influence of wavelength-specific textured backgrounds on the effectiveness of Background-Oriented Schlieren (BOS) imaging, focusing on wavelengths from 400 nm to 670 nm at intervals of 30 nm intervals and multiple captured recordings for each background wavelength interval. By analyzing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) computationally, and the image gradient magnitude, we aimed to determine the optimal wavelengths for capturing turbulence and determine the effectiveness of colored backgrounds in natural external environments for schlieren. The SNR, calculating the ratio of mean signal intensity to noise standard deviation, revealed the highest value at 550 nm (SNR = 22.8), indicating maximized clarity. Similarly, image gradient magnitude, computed using the Sobel operator to assess spatial intensity changes, peaked at 550 nm (G=52.3), confirming effective turbulence visualization. Our findings align with the Bayer color filter trend, suggesting that the green spectrum is particularly advantageous for BOS imaging. Deviations at 490 nm and 580 nm, characterized by lower SNR and gradient magnitude, could be attributed to atmospheric scattering, refractive index overlap, or slight digital video capture differences., highlighting environmental factors that can influence imaging performance and value variation. These insights emphasize the importance of wavelength selection and background design in real-world BOS applications, suggesting that while 550 nm provides optimal results, further refinement may enhance the effectiveness of other wavelengths.

Design and Development of Solar Food Dehydrator Made of Recycled Materials
Authors: Soocheta A Vaidya , Mootoosamy Silvanee
Published: October 2024

The project is based on fabricating a Solar Food Dehydrator made of recycled materials. The dehydrator was made using simple techniques and recycled materials such as beverage cans and reclaimed wood. The unit can be reconstructed. The portable dehydrator works on a simple principle. Performance tests revealed that the temperatures inside the dehydrator were much higher than the ambient temperature that aided the dehydration process. The advantage of a solar dehydrator is that it is more hygienic, and avoids contamination by dust, airborne molds, fungi, insects, rodents, or animals. The dried fruits and vegetables are healthier as drying preserves nutrients and enzymes and uses no additives or preservatives. Besides food, the dehydrator may be used to dry other materials. Solar dehydrators have no additional fuel expenses; thus, they support using non-renewable energy sources for drying.

The postpartum period for any women is a very critical time for new mothers, both physically and mentally. Physical recovery plays a very important role particularly in core strength for overall wellbeing function and recovery. This aim of this study is to explore the effect of core strengthening exercises during postpartum period for physical and mental wellbeing, with inclusion criteria focusing on women who had normal deliveries and are under 30 years of age. As qualitative methods are applied in this research, including interviews and focus groups. here, we explore the experiences of new mothers engaging in a structured core strengthening program for extended period. Results suggested that such core strengthening exercises positively influence not only physical recovery, such as improved posture and reduced lower back pain, but also contribute to mental well-being by enhancing confidence, reducing anxiety, and promoting a positive body image. A total 50 women, under the age of 30 and six months postpartum following normal vaginal deliveries. After interview-based questions, we assess weak core muscle after post-delivery then provide supervised core strengthening exercises three times a week for 12 weeks, each session last for 30 minutes. Exercise includes Pelvic tilts Planks Leg raise Bridge exercise Abdominal crunches. This study shows, after 12 weeks 0f core strengthening exercise regime women shows significant improvement in postpartum recovery with benefits extending both physical and mental recovery.

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is home to many H ii regions, which may lead to significant outflows. We examine the LMC’s multiphase gas (T∼104-5 K) in H i, S ii, Si iv, and C iv using 110 stellar sight lines from the Hubble Space Telescope’s Ultraviolet Legacy Library of Young Stars as Essential Standards program. We develop a continuum fitting algorithm based on the concept of Gaussian process regression and identify reliable LMC interstellar absorption over v
helio = 175–375 km s−1. Our analyses show disk-wide ionized outflows in Si iv and C iv across the LMC with bulk velocities of ∣v
out, bulk∣ ∼ 20–60 km s−1, which indicates that most of the outflowing mass is gravitationally bound. The outflows’ column densities correlate with the LMC’s star formation rate surface densities (ΣSFR), and the outflows with higher ΣSFR tend to be more ionized. Considering outflows from both sides of the LMC as traced by C iv, we conservatively estimate a total outflow rate of

and a mass-loading factor of η ≳ 0.15. We compare the LMC’s outflows with those detected in starburst galaxies and simulation predictions, and find a universal scaling relation of

over a wide range of star-forming conditions (ΣSFR ∼ 10−4.5–102

Lastly, we find that the outflows are corotating with the LMC’s young stellar disk and the velocity field does not seem to be significantly impacted by external forces; we thus speculate on the existence of a bow shock leading the LMC, which may have shielded the outflows from ram pressure as the LMC orbits the Milky Way.
Insights into the Production of 44Ti and Nickel Isotopes in Core-collapse Supernovae
Authors: Wang Tianshu , Burrows Adam
Published: October 2024

We report nucleosynthetic results for both 44Ti and nickel isotopes for 18 three-dimensional (3D) core-collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations extended to ∼20 s after bounce. We find that many of our long-term models are able to achieve 44Ti/56Ni ratios similar to that observed in Cassiopeia A, and modern supernova models can synthesize up to 2 × 10−4
M
⊙ of 44Ti. Neutrino-driven winds and the fact that there can be simultaneous accretion and explosion in 3D models of CCSNe play central roles in its production. We conclude that the 44Ti underproduction problem in previous CCSN models is no longer an issue. In addition, we discuss the production of both 57Ni and stable nickel/iron ratios and compare our results to observations of SN 1987A and the Crab.
Explaining Muon Excess in Cosmic Rays Using the Gluon Condensation Model
Authors: Liu Bingyang , Yang Zhixiang , Ruan Jianhong
Published: October 2024

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays are often characterized indirectly by analyzing the properties of secondary cosmic ray particles produced in the collisions with air nuclei. The particle number N

μ
of muon and the depth of shower maximum X
max after air shower cascade are mostly studied to infer the energy and mass of the incident cosmic rays. Research has shown that there is a significant excess in the observed number of muons arriving at the ground from extensive air showers compared to the simulations using the existing cosmic ray hadronic interaction model. To explain this muon excess phenomenon, a new theoretical model, the gluon condensation model, is introduced in this paper and simulated by using the AIRES engine. We assume that the gluon condensation (GC) effect appears mainly in the first collision of the cascade, leading to a significant increase in the strangeness production, consequently, the production rate of kaons is increased, and n

is greater than the value of the usual hadronic interaction process. In the calculation, the model assumes that only pions and kaons are produced in the GC state. The increase of strange particle yield would mean that the energy transferred from the hadronic cascade to the electromagnetic cascade through π
0 → 2γ decay is reduced. This would in turn increase the number of muons at the ground level due to meson decays. Our model provides a new theoretical possibility to explain the muon excess puzzle.
