Popularity and effectiveness of modern
ways of memorizing Chinese characters.
Authors: Oreshkova N. L.
Published: June 2024

Due to the high and steady popularity of Chinese, a sufficient number
of new techniques for studying Chinese characters are being developed
today, many of which often represent updated versions of classical methods.
We attempt to evaluate the ways of memorizing Chinese characters,
to identify the difficulties faced by students. The article studies methods and
techniques of memorizing Chinese characters used by students at a language
university. We conducted a survey which revealed the techniques and methods
of memorization that are used most frequently. When identifying the individual
effectiveness of the use of techniques and methods by students, a discrepancy
was found and analyzed between the use of certain methods and the assessment
of students’ personal effectiveness. The authors also investigate the possibility
of using a linguacultural approach to teaching Chinese hieroglyphic writing
and predict the success of its application for the full assimilation of Chinese
hieroglyphic writing and the acquisition of the cultural code of the country
through hieroglyphs
Gender agreement with common nouns
Authors: Danilova A. A.
Published: June 2024

The paper examines the distribution of gender agreement patterns with
common gender nouns and the factors influencing the choice of a particular
agreement pattern in Russian. After conducting a series of sentence completion
and acceptability judgement experiments, we argue that referential agreement
is the most preferable agreement model. Mismatch with a male referent
is unacceptable; for the female referent it is marginal and dependent
on the type of construction, but the acceptability and sentence completion
data come into conflict. Mixed agreement is unacceptable. I show that
common gender nouns do not possess lexical gender, and mismatch occurs
due to agreement with default masculine gender
Towards the feature identity for ellipsis
in Russian: Evidence from noun phrases with coordinated adjectives
Authors: Studenikina K. A.
Published: June 2024

This paper deals with the problem of feature identity in Russian noun
phrases with coordinated modifiers. The data from various languages shows
that ellipsis allows mismatch of some morphological features for the elided
and the spelled-out constituents while other features must match. The studies
of Russian noun phrases with coordinated modifiers propose ellipsis analysis
but does not determine the constraints on feature identity for the elide and the spelled-out noun. In this paper, we analyze the identity of such
noun features as number and case by conducting a corpus study and a selfpaced acceptability experiment. The results demonstrate that the difference
in number is unacceptable for conjuncts without numerals (singular vs. plural
nouns) but acceptable with paucal and other numerals (numberless vs. plural
nouns according to D. Pesetsky’s analysis). The noun number features mismatch
in noun phrases without numeral, but number features in numeral phrases do
not conflict. The coordination of a noun phrase without numeral and a numeral
phrase is also unacceptable. While the nouns in both conjuncts are plural,
the case is different (external case vs. genitive). Thus, the ellipsis in Russian
noun phrases with coordinated modifiers requires the lack of number

Untreated industrial effluents, particularly from tanneries and heavy industries, are the main source of heavy metal pollution, which poses serious environmental risks. Lead is one of the most toxic heavy metals, adversely affects human functioning and accumulates in the environment. This study presents ACUTLaqE (Activated Carbon-Used Tea Leaves Aqueous Extract) as an effective adsorbent for Pb2+ ion removal from their aqueous solution. The composite was synthesized by blending activated carbon from rice husks with a tea extract solution and characterized using SEM, XRD, and FTIR spectroscopy. Batch tests demonstrated that ACUTLaqE is highly efficient, removing about 99% of Pb2+ ions at an adsorbent dose of 2 g/L within 30 minutes. The adsorption data conformed well to the Langmuir isotherm model, suggesting a homogeneous monolayer formation on the composite surface. The qm was 38.61 mg/g, with an RL value close to 0, indicating highly favourable adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters showed negative Gibbs free energy (ΔG⁰) values, reflecting a spontaneous adsorption process. The enthalpy (ΔH⁰) and entropy (ΔS⁰) changes were 66.86 KJmol-1 and 257.12 JK-1mol-1, respectively. The adsorption mechanism involved electrostatic interactions and surface complexation with the composite's hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. These findings suggest that ACUTLaqE is a promising adsorbent material for Pb2+ and potentially other heavy metals removal from industrial effluents.

Fabric manufacturers are striving to produce value-added, high-end technical fabrics, such as smart textiles, protective clothing and accessories for sports, where the performance of the fabric has become a decisive factor. Fabric impact resistance is one such property of importance. Therefore the development of a suitable method to predict the impact on the fabric at the point of fabric development is of great importance. In this article, the authors have attempted to design and develop a test method to predict fabric impact more accurately. A mathematical model has been developed to show the relationship between impact force, impact velocity and the depth of penetration on impact. Finally, test equipment has been developed to measure the impact based on the developed model. The indentation depth on impact was measured against both impact velocity and kinetic energy, and the experimental impact force was calculated against the impact velocity. It was found that the impact velocity of the projectile affects both the impact on fabric and indentation into the backing material as well as the energy absorbed by the fabric. The energy absorption also increased with impact velocity and higher velocities caused greater damage. No great variation in temperature was detected.

Authors:   Departemen Teknik Mesin, Fakultas Teknik, Universitas Hasanuddin, Indonesia, Syahid Muhammad
Published: June 2024

Pangkajene Islands Regency is one of the centers producing fishery products such as shrimp and milkfish. Shrimp is one of Indonesia's main export commodities in the fisheries sector. However, the productivity of ponds in Pangkep Regency is still relatively low because they are still managed traditionally without aerators. The use of an aerator will increase the oxygen content in the pond so that productivity can be increased. Limited access to electricity for farmers who are far from settlements is one of the problems with the use of aerators which are still not widely used. Therefore, with the help of solar panels to supply electricity to the aerator wheels, farming can run more economically, efficiently and can increase productivity. The solar aerator system is assembled and tested for performance both in the laboratory and during implementation. Then socialization and demonstrations on the use of solar-based aerators were carried out.

Large Language Models for Text Style Transfer: Exploratory Analysis of Prompting and Knowledge Augmentation Techniques
Authors: Toshevska Martina , Gievska Sonja
Published: June 2024

Large language models have gained extensive research interest in the past few years. They have demonstrated remarkable ability to process and generate human-like text, and have improved performances on various natural language processing tasks. This paper is focused on the prompting techniques and knowledge augmentation techniques for text style transfer tasks. Text style transfer involves the transformation of a given sentence in a stylistically different manner while preserving its original meaning. It requires models to understand and manipulate different aspects such as politeness, formality, and sentiment. This paper provides an overview of several methods for prompting large language models for text style transfer and presents an overview of several methods for knowledge augmentation with a discussion about potential use for text style transfer. Preliminary results on formality transfer using the T5 model are presented to evaluate prompting and knowledge augmentation techniques. The results show that using knowledge augmentation techniques improves the performance compared to models without augmentation, while zero-shot prompting techniques are less effective. This emphasizes the necessity of fine-tuning and incorporating knowledge augmentation for enhanced model performance.
Estimation of pipe wall thickness variation during bending rolling
Authors: Kozlov A. V. , Chumanov I. V. , Matveeva M. A. , Maternovskii D. A.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. The presented work examines the process of bending pipes using the cold rolling method. The main pa-rameters of bending that affect the change in wall thickness during the deformation process are analyzed. The influence of changing the shape of the cross-sectional shape, the increase in the pipe diameter, and the displacement of the neutral layer of bending, is identified. Theoretical values of thickening and thinning of the pipe wall are presented depending on the bending parameters. The authors provide theoretical and experimental data to assess the wall thickness variation. Data on the wall thickness of a bent pipe fitting with a diameter of 57 mm were obtained using two methods. The first method involves indirect measurements using an ultrasonic thickness gauge, while the second method involves direct measurements using a micrometer. A comparative analysis showed that the actual measurements of the wall thickness of the bent pipe fitting align with the theoretical values. Due to methodological discrepancies in the thickness measurements, it is recommended to use direct physical measurements to obtain more accurate results
Analysis of the influence of uneveneity of the sintering process of the barch on the operation of the sintering machine

Published: June 2024

Literature data on the unevenness of temperature and composition of the gas leaving the sintering bed across the width and length of it and their influence on the productivity of sinter machines are considered. An analysis of the technologies reasons for the unevenness of the sintering process was carried out. It is shown that the reasons for the width of the pallets include the distribution of the mix bed in the loading bin, air leaks into the ignition hearth, the wall effect at the side plates of the pallets, the shape and angle of inclination of the sides relative to the grates. Along the length of the sinter machine, the unevenness of gas flow and composition is due to a decrease in the gas-dynamic re-sistance of the bed during the sintering process, segregation of the mix and fuel along the height of the bed, completion of bed drying and gaps between pallets. Using an adapted mathematical model of the sintering process, a comparison was made of the parameters of the basic (non-uniform) and calculated uniform operating modes of the AKM-312 sinter machine of the Steel Plant NLMK. I It has been established that with the vertical installation of the pallet sides accepted in the calculations that an increased gas flow rate at the periphery of the bed is accompanied by an increase in gas temperature with a corresponding decrease in the suction before exhausters. It was found that during the transition from the base to the uniform mode of operation of the sinter machine, the gas temperature in front of the exhausters decreased from 99.6 to 85.1 °C, the suction increased from 13.54 to 14.26 kPa, and in the collecting collector – by 1.15 kPa. The productivity of the sinter machine increased by 4.1%. When installing pallet sides vertically, the effectiveness of increasing the height of the layer on its periphery instead of compacting it and constructive solutions has been justified. Its increase provided an additional productivity of the sinter machine by 1.8%, a total of 5.9%. It has been shown that due to the simultaneous increase in gas temperature over the entire width of the bed in the final period of the sintering process, with a uniform operating mode of the sinter machine, the maximum gas temperature at the end of the process increases with a lower one – in front of the exhausters. From the point of view of the capabilities of exhausters in terms of the created suction, the accepted representation of their gas-dynamic characteristics at a temperature of 150 °C, which is possible only with a high level of unevenness of the sintering process, is not reasoned

Authors: Hirpa Delessa , Girma Bilisuma
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Despite the growing evidence of Diabetic Nephropathy in adult patients with long-standing diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa, data on its burden and correlates in adult African patients with diabetes are limited. We, therefore, undertook this study to determine the burden and predictors of Diabetic Nephropathy among adult population with diabetes in Hospital.

OBJECTIVE: We, therefore, undertook this study to determine the burden and predictors of Diabetic Nephropathy among adult population with diabetes in Ambo University Referral Hospital Central, Ethiopia.

METHODS: A Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August, 2023 and a systematic random sampling method used to recruit participants. A total of 4,300 were interviewed using structured questionnaires to gather data from the study subjects. For data entry and analysis, Epi Data version 3.1.1 and SPSS version 25 were used. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was done after descriptive statistics. 95% confidence intervals (CI) and crude and adjusted odds ratios were presented.

RESULTS: Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) was documented in population was 24.9% from the 369 participants (95%; CI 23.37– 26.43) participants among the study). Male sex [AOR = 2.215; 95% CI: 1.34, 3.45, p = 0.002], physically inactive [AOR = 1.983; 95% CI: 1.05, 3.70), P = 0.034], dyslipidaemia [AOR: 1.98, CI: 1.009, 3.5), P = 0.024] and poor controlled glycemia [AOR= 2.70; 1.40, 5.2), P = 0.003] were significant determinants for the development of Diabetic Nephropathy.

CONCLUSION: Among DM patients, sex, physical inactivity, dyslipidaemia, and poor glycemic control were discovered to be the predictors of diabetic nephropathy. By enhancing programs for health information, education, and promotion, diabetes management should be better equipped to achieve glycaemic control and prevent diabetic nephropathy.

Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the computer program STATISTICA 7.0. Research results and their discussion. When comparing the studied indicators of patients with T2DM of different ages depending on the duration of mobile phone use, it was established that the systolic blood pressure, age and BMI were probably higher in mature patients with a duration of mobile phone use of more than 8 years compared to the data of patients who have been using the phone for 5-8 years. At the same time, the age of patients and SAT among the elderly group was probably higher in patients with a term of use of more than 8 years compared to those who have been using a mobile phone for 5-8 years. Patients with T2DM have moderate (14.08%) and severe (77.47%) daytime sleepiness. Conclusions. A significantly higher percentage of mature and elderly T2DM patients who used a phone for more than 8 years was established, compared to the indicators in the group with a duration of 5-8 years of phone use, which in the case of mature age was associated with a significantly higher level of systolic blood pressure and BMI.
Kulturális tudatosság a modern hadviselésben
Authors: Sztankai Krisztián
Published: June 2024

Az elmúlt évek nemzetközi eseményei rámutattak arra a tényre, hogy a kulturális tudatosság és a haderő közötti kapcsolat szerepe sokkal fontosabb, mint azt korábban gondolták, és az ellenfél kulturális hátterének elemzése nagyban hozzásegíthet az ellenség legyőzéséhez és motivációinak megértéséhez a modern konfliktusokban. A modern konfliktusok ma már nemcsak a fizikai erő használatáról szólnak, hanem a kulturális narratívák és az identitások összecsapásáról is. Minél inkább megértjük, erőforrásokat biztosítunk az ellenség kulturális hátterének megismerésére, annál gyorsabban megtalálhatjuk a gyenge pontokat és felhasználhatjuk azt egy sikeres stratégia kidolgozásához. A kulturális tudatosság szerepét nem szabad alábecsülni a modern hadviselésben. A közelmúltban kirobbant orosz–ukrán háború során is felfedezhető a kulturális tényezők jelenléte, ami nem csupán hagyományos összecsapásként elemezhető, hanem a két ország kulturális és történelmi összecsapását is láthatjuk.

Published: June 2024

The article highlights the results of a theoretical-experimental study of the work of teachers and administrators of special secondary education institutions with families of children with special educational needs of primary school age. Disadvantaged are families that have completely or partially lost their educational opportunities due to one or another reason, as a result of which they objectively or subjectively have unfavorable conditions for raising a child. Interaction with a dysfunctional family, the ability to find points of contact with it, requires the educator to have a deep knowledge of the peculiarities of the functioning of the modern family, methods of studying it and organizing work with parents, choosing effective forms and methods of working with various types of dysfunctional families. In this regard, it is important to find out the causes of family dysfunction and potential mistakes in raising children in such families. Educators experience significant difficulties in working with dysfunctional families. The insufficient number of scientific and methodological recommendations regarding the activities of educators of special institutions leads to spontaneity in working with disadvantaged families, inconsistency of pedagogical influences, which generally reduces the effectiveness of educational work. Such methods of working with families, such as discussion of pedagogical situations, role-playing and business games, trainings, familiarization with psychological and pedagogical literature, etc., are neglected. The work carried out makes it possible to determine the characteristic signs of family dysfunction: negative emotional and psychological family microclimate; parents' indifference, their insensitivity to the child's age and individual psychological characteristics in the process of family upbringing; parents' lack of control over the child's success and behavior, parents' harmful antisocial lifestyle.

Authors: Tulinov A. G. , Kosolapova T. V.
Published: June 2024

Relevance. Analyzing the modern requirements of agricultural producers of livestock products for varieties of perennial forage crops, we can identify a number of their main criteria. These are economically valuable traits (high yield, quality indicators, disease resistance), and the length of years spent in grass, and most importantly, high adaptability to the biotic and abiotic environmental factors in which this crop is cultivated.

Methods. In the study, which included two stages, an analysis was carried out in a collection nursery of eleven cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) samples from the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) (St. Petersburg) of various ecological and geographical origins, geographically related to the northern, arctic region of the Russian Federation (2016–2018) and four numbers of the breeding nursery selected for further testing (2020–2022) according to environmental parameters plasticity, stability and adaptability.

Results. Based on the results of research in 2016–2018 of a promising forage cocksfoot crop, it was established that the most valuable breeding material for further hybridization are the varieties Dvina (Russia)  and Haka (Finland), which showed a high average yield of two cuttings of green mass – 20.0–20.5 t/ha. Of the cultivars under consideration in 2020–2022, CH-185 (bi – 0.94, σd2 – 0.93) was classified as the most plastic and stable; sample CH-188 (Xsr. – 42.9 t/ha) exceeded the standard Neva (Russia) variety in terms of dry weight yield for two mowing by 2.1 t/ha, and in terms of yield seeds – 40.5 g/m2.

Relevance. Developing the concept of optimal healthy nutrition increases the demand for the development and production of fortified and functional food products. We propose to use plant-based drinks as a food system for obtaining a probiotic product, which is a source of a number of nutrients. Because the environment in plants isn’t usually good for growing lactic acid bacteria, it’s important to look into different ways to start lactic acid fermentation in these kinds of places.

The purpose of these studies is to evaluate ways to intensify the fermentation process of a vegetable drink with a complex starter culture «Bifido plus».

Мethods. Research methods include assessment of the increase in microbial biomass, accumulation of lactic acid and exopolysaccharides, and changes in acidity and viscosity of the probiotic drink.

Results. The possibility of adaptation of the starter «Bifido Plus» in a plant environment was established, and ultrasonic exposure and the addition of inulin promoted the activation of the fermentation process. In particular, the addition of inulin shortens the lag phase by 0.85 ± 0.05 hours, and exposure to ultrasound treatment increases it by 2.1 ± 0.2 hours. At the same time, the subsequent increase in the volume of biomass accumulation in the sample of the probiotic drink subjected to ultrasound exposure was 60–313% and 28–44% under the influence of inulin. The introduction of inulin and exposure to ultrasound also activate a change in titratable acidity, on average, by 3–15%, the accumulation of lactic acid by 38.7–68%, and the accumulation of exopolysaccharides by 27.3–58.8% relative to the control sample. So, the research results show that ultrasound and inulin can be used to start the fermentation process in plant media. The research was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF) within the framework of project 23-26-10063.

У статті проаналізовано спеціалізовану програму, що інтегрує високоінтенсивні тренування з вогневою та тактико-спеціальною підготовкою для здобувачів вищої освіти та військовослужбовців. Визначено ключові компоненти таких тренувань, включаючи розвиток фізичних якостей і професійних навичок. Доведено важливість систематичних фізичних навантажень для підвищення загальної фізичної підготовленості та психологічної стійкості. Розроблена програма складається з трьох основних етапів, кожен з яких має свою специфіку та цілі, так початковий етап – зосереджений на загальній фізичній підготовці, основах саморегуляції та стресостійкості, закладає фундамент для подальших тренувань; основний – впроваджуються більш складні вправи для розвитку специфічних навичок, включаючи тактико-спеціальну підготовку, вогневі тренування, а також методи профілактики травм; підтримуючий – спрямований на утримання досягнутого рівня фізичної готовності та психологічної стійкості, включає регулярні тренування та оцінку прогресу. Ця програма створена з урахуванням специфіки та викликів, які виникають при підготовці військовослужбовців (фахівців охоронної діяльності) на основі забезпечення їх комплексної підготовки до виконання своїх професійних обов’язків. Програма також зосереджує увагу на інтеграції новітніх технологій у процес фізичної підготовки, зокрема використання дронів та тепловізійних систем. Важливим є розвиток не тільки фізичних і професійних якостей, але й психологічної стійкості, адаптивних стратегій поведінки та ефективної комунікації у команді. Програма передбачає системний підхід до підготовки, включаючи діагностику фізичного стану, інтенсивний розвиток фізичних якостей та спеціалізовані заняття, а також підтримуючий етап для утримання досягнутих результатів. Аналізується вплив фізичної активності на здоров’я, а також позитивний вплив на психічне здоров’я, підвищення стресостійкості та самооцінки. Програма має за мету забезпечити комплексний розвиток особистості, підготовку до ефективного виконання завдань у складних умовах. Узагальнено, що розробка та впровадження спеціалізованої програми становить стратегічно важливий крок в успішному проходженні військовослужбовцями фахівцями охоронної діяльності. Це забезпечує їхню всебічну готовність до ефективного виконання завдань у екстремальних умовах.
МЕНТАЛЬНА ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА КОНЦЕПТУ «ДУША» У ТВОРЧОСТІ ФЕДОРА ПОТУШНЯКА
Authors: Вільчинська Тетяна
Published: June 2024

У статті проаналізовано мовне вираження концепту «душа» в художніх творах Федора Потушняка. Виявлено особливості світобачення письменника як митця слова. Утілюючи в своїй мовотворчості різні аспекти народного буття, письменник ілюструє вагомість зображуваних явищ чи подій. Проаналізовано основні підходи щодо інтерпретації самого поняття концепту та його класифікації. З’ясовано особливості концепту «душа» в мовній концептуалізації світу Федора Потушняка. Описано використання концепту «душа» у поетичних творах письменника у взаємозв’язку зі специфічними рисами української ментальності. У роботі використано лінгвокультурологічний підхід, який дав змогу розглянути концепт «душа» як абстрактну одиницю ментального рівня. Наголошено на сакральній частині концепту «душа», яка займає домінувальне місце у мовотворчості письменника, а також з’ясовано концептуальні компоненти несакральної її частини та проілюстровано прикладами із поетичних творів. Сакральний фрагмент концепту «душа» у ліриці Федора Потушняка виступає конкретизованим, пов’язаним із релігією, з Біблією, що засвідчують вислови про те, що душу дає людині Бог. Відзначено також, що сакральна частина концепту «душа» у поетичних творах Федора Потушняка має як традиційне, так і нетрадиційне мовне вираження, яке інтерпретується самим автором. Митець утверджує думку про нерозривність такого поняття, як людина – частина народу, рідного краю. Концептуальні компоненти несакральної частини концепту «душа» у поезії Федора Потушняка характеризуються як традиційним, так і нетрадиційним підходом, а його наповнення переважно стосується змін психічного стану людини. Наголошено, що лексема «душа» у поетичній творчості Федора Потушняка у різних контекстуальних виявах набуває різних функціонально-стилістичних ознак. Відзначено, що велику роль у формуванні та вираженні концепту «душа» в мовотворчості Федора Потушняка відіграють слова-назви концепту, які представлені дуже цікавими засобами художньої виразності. Підсумовуючи проведене дослідження, авторка доходить висновку про те, що концепт «душа» в мовотворчості Федора Потушняка відображає, передусім, духовне життя українців, яке вербалізується в екстралінгвальній площині, створюючи мовну картину світу та формуючи мовну особистість письменника.
РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦІЯ ШЕКСПІРІВСЬКОЇ ІНТЕРТЕКСТУАЛЬНОСТІ В ПОВІСТІ «О, ВЕНЕЦІЄ..!» БОРИСА ФІНКЕЛЬШТЕЙНА
Authors: Дроздовський Дмитро
Published: June 2024

У статті досліджено вияви шекспірівської інтертекстуальності в повісті «О, Венеціє!..» сучасного українського письменника Б.Фінкельштейна. Проаналізовано особливості художньої репрезентації головного персонажа Шломо в контексті специфіки його фаху й належності до юдейської релігії. Визначено форми трансформації сюжетної лінії в повісті, зокрема проаналізовано сюжетні зміни стосовно претексту твору – п’єси «Венеційський купець» В. Шекспіра. З погляду юдейської релігійної традиції визначено світоглядні настанови Шломо (шекспірівського Шейлока), обґрунтовано вимоги персонажа щодо повернення позики, інтерпретовано відмову від мотиву жорстокості, який експлуатовано в шекспірівському творі й від якого відмовляється сучасний автор. Досліджено індивідуальну авторську модель щодо взаємодії історичного матеріалу й художньої вигадки в літературному творі. Окреслено феноменологічні аспекти творчості українського письменника й запропоновано розглядати повість «О, Венеціє!..» в парадигмі підходів нового історицизму, який детерміновано авторським намаганням реконструювати історію власного роду й відобразити цю модель альтернативної історії в аналізованій повісті. Схарактеризовано філософські особливості письменницької стратегії Б. Фінкельштейна, які визначили ідейно-мотивну та сюжетну специфіку повісті «О, Венеціє!..», що є виявом постпостмодерної шекспірівської інтертекстуальності. У творі акцентовано на єврейському компоненті, що визначає моделі поведінки та форми інтеракції між персонажами. Визначено, що український шекспірівський дискурс доповнюється і в XXI столітті, виявляючи світоглядні риси нової культурної історичної ситуації. У статті спробу ревізії історичного матеріалу й реконструкцію образу Шломо проаналізовано в контексті метамодерністської естетики. Визначено концепт автентичності як ключовий у повісті «О, Венеціє!..», що суголосно з епістемологічною основою метамодернізму як напряму літератури.

Попри належну увагу до лінгвістичного хеджування, поза увагою мовознавців залишаються прийоми реалізації різних таких цієї стратегії у різномовних текстах наукового дискурсу. Це актуалізує наше зіставне дослідження, мета якого полягає у встановленні спільних та відмінних характеристик тактики апроксимації як однієї із тактик хеджування в науковому дискурсі. Відібрані для аналізу реченнєві конструкції з однакових за обсягом наукових текстів, зокрема із анотацій до наукових статей галузі гуманітаристики дали змогу дійти об’єктивних висновків щодо реалізації тактики апроксимації. До аналізу було залучено однакову кількість текстового масиву з англомовних та українськомовних наукових журналів. Було проаналізовано тексти обсягом по 20 000 др. знаків у кожній із мов, сформовано корпус реченнєвих конструкцій обсягом 300 одиниць в кожній із мов. Напрацювання попередників та власний аналіз дав змогу виокремити низку комунікативних прийомів тактики апроксимації, зокрема: невизначеної кількості, узагальнення, обмеження та уподібнення. Зіставний аналіз виявив відмінності в реалізації виділених прийомів. За нашими спостереженнями, в англомовному науковому дискурсі найбільш поширеним прийомом актуалізації тактики апроксимації став прийом генераліазції (37%), тоді як для українського дискурсу найбільше мовних зразків припадає на прийом невизначеної кількості (37%). Прийом уподібнення є однаково поширеним як в англомовному, так і українськомовному контекстах (15% та 16% відповідно). Прийом обмеження більш властивий англомовному дискурсу (23%) на противагу українськомовному (16%). Виявлені тенденції віддзеркалюють як власне мовні, так і лінгвокультурні традиції наукової мови
