English abbreviations related to language teaching: problems of typology and translation into Ukrainian
Authors: Kovalchuk N.
Published: February 2025

The article analyses the thematic groups (TG) and subgroups (SG) of English language abbreviations of four categories related to language teaching: 1) names of language teaching organisations; 2) names of approaches to language teaching and forms of its organisation; 3) names of forms of control, diplomas and certificates in language teaching; 4) characteristics of languages as objects of study and learners. On the basis of similar studies on thematic classification of Ukrainian language terminology, the author claims the insufficient number of studies on English language abbreviations. This, together with the need for their systematic thematic classification, has made it possible to substantiate the relevance of the study. The aim of the study is to identify the above-mentioned TGs and TPGs, to determine their structural characteristics and methods of translation. Consequently, the tasks included the selection of research material, its analysis, the formulation of conclusions and further perspectives. The criterion for distinguishing between TGs and TPGs is the denotative feature, which signifies the realities of extra-linguistic reality. The division of lexemes into TGs and TPGs is an important task in the study of the terminological system. The material of the study included 435 abbreviations selected from original English sources. Within the categories analysed, TGs and TPGs have different degrees of branching and can each contain from 1 to 7 groups and subgroups. The latter can be further subdivided into even smaller units. As a result, the largest and most ramified TGs and TPGs are located in the centre of each category, while the smallest are on the periphery. The analysed TGs and TPGs differ in terms of their quantitative composition, structural models, belonging to a part of speech and the principles of rendering English abbreviations into Ukrainian. The logic and clarity of the analysed TGs and TPGs are ensured by the common conceptual features of their components, which give the respective TGs and TPGs their thematic integrity. These components are based on different models of term formation, which may influence the techniques chosen to translate them. The study of such dependencies within the analysed categories is suggested as a prospect for further research.
Pedagogical grammar as a frame concept for research in the field of foreign language teaching methods. Part 17. Linguistic and pedagogical grammar
Authors: Chernovaty L.
Published: February 2025

The article deals with the correlation between linguistic (LG) and pedagogical (PG) grammars. The author considers LG as a set of data from all existing linguistic theories, and PG as information about the conditions and ways of performing grammatical actions in the process of their acquisition in the classroom. Analysing this general problem, the author outlines the range of questions that need to be answered in the course of his study. Is there a single theory of LG that can independently provide a basis for designing an adequate PG? What is the relationship between the amount and content of LG and PG information? Does the amount and type of PG depend on specific learning objectives and conditions? What are the best ways of presenting PG information for its effective use in the learning process? What factors influence the choice of presentation method? Should the structure of the PG reflect the structure of the LG? What factors influence the order in which grammatical phenomena are introduced in the process of acquiring the relevant grammatical actions in the classroom, and what determines the way in which such phenomena are grouped into organisational units of the course material (topics, units, etc.)? Having outlined the scope of these questions, in this paper the author analyses the potential of several LG models: traditional, structural, transformational and case grammar. In the authorʼs view, the traditional model of grammar, which has been used in language teaching for centuries, remains a good source of information about the surface structure of a language, but it may lack data about its functional aspect. Although structural grammar, which served as the basis for the audiolingual method, has been much criticised, the failures of this method are more related to the inadequacy of the underlying psychological model. While the potential of the transformational and case models of grammar is assessed positively, the paper considers them too complex to be used in the classroom without additional processing. Based on the conclusions, the author outlines the prospects for further research.

EXTRAORDINARY FORM OF THE CULT OF ROYAL ANCESTORS IN EGYPT OF THE 16TH - 13TH CENTURIES BC AS A MARKER OF DYNASTIC CRISES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Barsukov Evgenii O.
Published: February 2025

The cult of ancestors and interest in the past of their country have
always been characteristic of the Egyptian civilization. They were a fundamental component of religion and tsarist ideology, one of the means of confirming
the legitimacy of the royal power. In historiography, the cult of royal ancestors
did not receive wide coverage, despite the recognition of its importance in the
process of legitimation. The components of the cult were also not considered,
although the development of its extraordinary form is clearly recorded in the
sources of the New Kingdom. With us that epoch due to the better preservation
of the source base, is a model for further research into the cult of royal ancestors
and elucidation of its role in the ideology of other stages of Egyptian history.
Data from the time we are considering indicate that the extraordinary form was a
marker of crises of legitimacy that are not always visible from other sources. The
very emergence of that form was inseparably connected with them. The article
presents sources that justify the possibility of introducing the terms ordinary and
extraordinary forms of the cult of royal ancestors, gives a picture of their emergence and makes an attemptto demonstrate the significance ofthe extraordinary
form for identifying dynastic crises and the ways of development of the royal
myth using the example of the history of Egypt in the 16th – 13th centuries BC.
THE CONCEPT OF THE “PERFECT MAN” BY AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI IN THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION
Authors:   Saratov Chernyshevsky State University, Baranov Aleksei V.
Published: February 2025

The article attempts to analyze the concept of the “perfect man”
of Ayatollah Khomeini in relation to the events of the Iranian Revolution of 1978 in 1979. Based on the materials contained in the official collection
“Sahifеh-ye Imam”, it reconstructsa model of the single believer behavior that
derives from the concept of the “perfect man”, widespread in Irfan, Islamic mysticism. According to Ayatollah Khomeini, it was his concept of a “profane” “perfect
man” that was intended to form the basis for educating a new type of person in
the Islamic Republic of Iran, guided in his behavior by the norms and canons of
Shiite Islam. The article traces a certain influence of the mystical teaching, which
goes back to the Islamic thinkers of the past, in particular to the ideas of Mullah
Sadra, who had a great influence on the formation of Ayatollah Khomeini’s views
during his years of study at howze (seminary) of Qom. It is concluded that under
the influence of the activation of the broad masses in the anti-Shah movement
and the victory of the Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini is transforming
his views on the “perfect man”, taking the form of an active participant in revolutionary events and being a member of Hezbollah. Based on the traditional terms
common in Irfan, Ayatollah Khomeini gives them a modern interpretation based
on the needs of the time and the tasks of building an Islamic Republic

Authors: Imamshadiqin Imamshadiqin , Andika Yudho , Syahputra Andika , Erniati Erniati , Salmarika Salmarika
Published: February 2025

Marine debris consists of materials discarded or unintentionally introduced into the marine environment by human activities. The increasing volume of marine debris is largely attributed to human activity near coastal areas. Bluka Teubai Beach, North Aceh, a popular visitor destination, has a high potential for waste accumulation. This study, conducted in May 2024, employed a purposive sampling method to assess marine debris. The research area was divided into three stations with distinct characteristics, using the line transect method. Results from Bluka Teubai Beach identified two primary waste categories: organic and inorganic. Organic waste included wood, bamboo, and coconut husk, while inorganic waste consisted of plastic, glass, metal, and rubber. Among organic waste, wood exhibited the highest absolute density (0.456 items/m²) and relative density (53.950%), followed by bamboo (0.317 items/m², 39.641%) and coconut husk (0.049 items/m², 6.409%). The overall density of organic waste at Bluka Teubai Beach was highest for wood (0.23 items/m²), with an average relative density of 58.640%. For inorganic waste, plastic had the highest absolute density in pieces (2.24 items/m²) and relative density in pieces (96.968%). The highest absolute density and relative mass of inorganic waste were also found in plastic (99.94 g/m² and 64.36%, respectively). Temporal analysis revealed that organic waste accumulation peaked on Fridays, while inorganic waste was most abundant on Tuesdays in terms of count and on Sundays in terms of mass. The results underscore the urgent need for targeted waste management strategies and continuous monitoring to mitigate marine debris pollution and protect the coastal ecosystem of Bluka Teubai Beach.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF A WATER AND WASTEWATER COMPANY – CASE STUDY
Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Łukaszczyk Zygmunt , Burda Krzysztof ,   Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji sp. z o.o. w Rybniku
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Producing energy from renewable sources is the challenge of our time, given the
increasing demand for energy. Biomethane from the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge is
a valuable source of renewable energy. Its production is also environmentally beneficial,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste. Using the biomethane produced to generate
electricity leads to energy self-sufficiency for the local authority in a closed loop economy.
Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the results of a detailed analysis of the
biogas-energy management of Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji Spółka
z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, based in Rybnik, with regard to the production of electricity
from biogas produced at the sewage treatment plant.
Findings: The results collected from 2013 to 2023 allow us to conclude that the green energy
produced at the Rybnik Wastewater Treatment Plant covers 40% of the plant's electricity needs,
thus ensuring compliance with the provisions of the new EU Urban Wastewater Treatment
Directive, which aims to achieve energy self-sufficiency for wastewater treatment plants by
2035. At the same time, the cogeneration system covers 100% of the heat requirements of the
wastewater treatment plant. The environmentally friendly production of green energy also
brings economic benefits to the company.
Originality/value: Maximising the use of biomethane produced at wastewater treatment plants
results in the unit being self-sufficient in energy without the need to import energy from external
sources. This means that the unit is able to generate enough energy from available internal
sources (e.g. solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and energy from waste) to meet its needs.
Energy self-sufficiency helps protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions
and saves money by reducing the cost of purchasing energy from external sources. In addition,
these measures can set an example for other companies, encouraging them to make similar
investments in renewable energy and efficient energy technologies.
ARTISTIC CREATIVITY AND LITERACY IN CONJUNCTION WITH FINE ARTS
Authors: Pandey Rishika
Published: February 2025

The wide range of perspectives on the nature of artistic creativity, the changing trends and styles in fine art, and the often-conflicting approaches to artistic expression are defining features of our time. Naturally, this diversity influences art education in various ways, with different teaching methods and approaches emerging in response. Many educational institutions, depending on the specific focus of their art programs, are seeking their own methods of teaching fine arts that they believe are most relevant to their discipline. This is neither unusual nor negative, provided that the essential aspects of an artist’s foundational training are adequately incorporated into the curriculum, regardless of the program’s specific focus. The question, however, is what constitutes the fundamental training of an artist. This typically includes subjects like composition, drawing, painting, sculpture, and art history—areas commonly reflected in educational standards. Yet, departments and programs often make adjustments to these core subjects, tailoring them to their specializations, prevailing educational trends, or the preferences of their leading faculty. This leads to the development of what can be considered "special" courses in drawing, "special" painting, and so on. These are "special" in the context of the academic course, rather than focusing on the development of specific visual techniques tied to a particular artistic specialization.

Authors: Akhdiyat Hendra R. , Sarjan M. , Sjah Taslim
Published: February 2025

This research discusses the application of the balance principle in laboratory waste management as a strategy to minimize environmental impacts. This principle aims to balance laboratory activities and environmental protection by reducing waste at the source, sorting it out, and using environmentally friendly waste processing technology. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach in the Mataram University laboratory. The research results show that applying the balance principle is still not optimal due to limited understanding, infrastructure and adequate policy support. Recommended strategies include implementing the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), selecting safer chemicals, and increasing training and preparing clear SOPs. Waste identification reached (50%), with limitations in storage (44%) and transportation (43%). Management and final disposal were minimal (33% and 38%), increasing environmental risks. Documentation, reporting (43%), and regulatory compliance (43%) still need to be improved. The K3 aspect is quite good (54%), but emergency response procedures are still weak. Sustainable management (37%) and environmental monitoring (43%) lack effort in mitigating environmental impacts. Applying the principle of balance is important to achieve sustainable laboratory waste management.
THE SYSTEM OF ENTITIES USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FIELD OF LIFE SAFETY: ADMINISTRATIVE, LEGAL AND ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING
Authors: Bondar Dmytro
Published: February 2025

The present article undertakes a study of the system of subjects using information technologies in the field of life safety, namely administrative law and economic principles of their activities. It also identifies promising areas for improving the current national legislation which regulates relevant legal relations. It is noted that the system of civil protection subjects is generally defined by the Code of Civil Protection of Ukraine. However, in light of the escalating natural, man-made, social and military threats, there is an imperative to establish a unified information and telecommunications system for civil protection. This system should encompass an interactive map and a database of civil protection subjects. It is imperative to establish a definitive legal framework encompassing the utilisation of information technologies in life safety contexts. This framework is crucial for the effective administration of pertinent information and telecommunications systems, as well as the maintenance of associated databases. Concurrent maintenance of mobile applications, designed for the mobilisation of human and material-technical resources in the event of a threat or the immediate occurrence of an emergency, is also paramount. The author concludes with a call for amendments to be made to the current national legislation on the administrative law regulation of mobile application usage in the field of life safety. This would include the rights and obligations of subjects that will administer the aforementioned mobile applications and subjects that will be involved in the elimination of emergencies and their consequences as volunteers via the installed mobile application. Particular attention is paid to the need for proper technical support of entities involved in the elimination of emergencies and their consequences with the help of information technology.

A Semiotic Study of Reduplicative Words in Selected American Slang Expressions
Authors: Farhan Mahmood Atiya , Hassan Sura Abd Ulghafoor
Published: February 2025

This study explores the semiotic aspects of American slang, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of reduplicative expressions in informal speech. Despite the extensive research on American slang, limited attention has been given to the cultural and mythical meanings embedded within reduplicative expressions. To address this gap, the study investigates how these expressions convey denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings within casual American discourse. The objectives of the study include: 1. To what extent does Barthes’ semiotic model hold potential for application in this study? 2. How are reduplicative slang expressions widely used in everyday American life? 3. To what extent do qualitative and quantitative methods have significance for this study?  The methodology combines qualitative analysis, involving an in-depth examination of selected reduplicative expressions, with quantitative analysis to measure their prevalence and usage in informal speech. Barthes’ semiotic framework encompassing denotation, connotation, and myth forms the theoretical foundation of the study. The findings reveal that reduplicative slang expressions not only carry literal meanings but also embody rich cultural and social connotations, reflecting key aspects of everyday American life. These expressions enhance interpersonal communication and serve as markers of cultural identity within informal discourse. The implications of this study lie in its contribution to understanding the intersection between language and culture, providing insights for future research on semiotics and its application in linguistic studies.

Authors: Farid Saber Nassar  , Ahmed Osman Abbas  , Mohamed Ezzat Elshekh
Published: February 2025

This study examines the role of maize in food security and economic stability, focusing on its response to climate change and strategies to enhance resilience. Using a qualitative descriptive research methodology, the study analyzes the impact of climate change on global maize production and proposes innovative strategies for sustainability and food security. The agricultural environment is vulnerable to heavy metal toxicity, which is linked to the relationship between soil health and climate change. From 1850 to 2020, the Earth’s temperature increased by 1.1 °C, with projections indicating continued warming. This trend has significant economic implications, particularly in developing countries where agriculture employs 69% of the population. Heat waves and droughts represent abiotic stresses faced by maize. Research suggests that high greenhouse gas emissions could lead to a 24% reduction in maize yield by 2030. The study highlights the need to focus on breeding and phenotyping technologies to develop heat- and drought-tolerant maize varieties that use water efficiently. Additionally, strategies such as genomic editing, transcriptome analysis, and maize quality mapping are crucial to addressing these challenges. Developing insect-resistant maize is another objective. This study emphasizes the necessity of ongoing research to improve agricultural productivity and ensure food security, especially in light of global population growth. It also advocates for new regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming.

Authors: MARIA GISELE DOS SANTOS  , CINTHIA LOPES DA SILVA
Published: February 2025

This article addresses an interdisciplinary pedagogical experience in the initial training of Physical Education teachers, highlighting the importance of the integration between Auguste Rodin's art and health. Although students have access to content from the Natural Sciences, Human and Social Sciences, in addition to specific knowledge applied to Physical Education, they often do not identify the correlation or interdisciplinarity between these areas. The objective of this research was to report and discuss the contributions of the use of the statue game, inspired by Rodin's sculptures, as an innovative strategy for teaching the components of physical fitness focused on health and anatomy in the Physical Education course at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). By using Rodin's works, it seeks not only to facilitate the understanding of the learning processes of physical qualities and musculature, but also to promote a greater appreciation of art as an educational tool. This qualitative study collected data through a question sent by e-mail to the teacher of the discipline of Fundamentals in Physical Education and Health, who proposed the theme. The analysis of the response was carried out based on studies on leisure and Educational Communication. The results indicate that the integration of art and health through Rodin's sculptures creates a creative and emotionally engaging pedagogical experience, facilitating access to knowledge and improving the learning process of Physical Education students.

Authors: Imesidayo Omua Eboreime-Oikeh  , Oikigbeme Sylvia Oikeh  , Major Usman Ogaba
Published: February 2025

A rare neurological disorder, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is caused by reactivation of varicella-zoster virus in the geniculate ganglion. The syndrome typically comprises a triad of unilateral facial palsy, vesicular rash around the ear canal or mouth and otalgia. However, atypical cases occur posing diagnostic challenges and risk of poorer outcomes. The purpose of this report is to highlight an atypical presentation of this syndrome where published cases are limited. We describe a 56-year-old Nigerian woman who presented with incomplete triad of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome characterized by unusual cervical dermatomal distribution of the zoster rash, facial palsy and absence of otalgia. Despite initial missed diagnosis elsewhere, timely administration of Acyclovir and Prednisolone resulted in marked clinical improvement. The atypical presentation highlights the importance of considering Ramsay Hunt Syndrome in patients with facial palsy and a rash anywhere in the head and neck even if the classic triad is incomplete.

Published: February 2025

English oral delivery of drugs was the most commonly used modality because of patient compliance and ease of administration. After oral administration of any drug, its bioavailability is affected by its residence time in the stomach. This variability may lead to unpredictable times when achieving peak plasma levels. The purpose of writing this review on gastro-retentive drug delivery systems was to comply with the recently become leading methodologies in site-specified orally administrated controlled releasing drug delivery. GRDDS can improve the controlled delivery of drugs that have an absorption window by continuously releasing the drug for a prolonged period before it reaches its absorption site. Different innovative approaches like magnetic field assisted gastro-retention, plug type swelling system, muco-adhesion technique, and floating system with or without effervescence are being applied to fabricate GRDDS. Recently applied gastrointestinal technologies such as expandable, super porous hydrogel; bio\mucoadhesive, magnetic, ion-exchange resins; and low- high-density systems have also been examined along their merits and demerits. The purpose of factors related to GRDDS, its advantages and disadvantages, and emphasis is given on its significance over conventional forms of drug deliveries. The classification, formulation, objectives, methods, and results consideration for gastro retention drug delivery system.

The samples Sargassum spp., a brown seaweed, is utilized as food in many parts of the world due to its nutritional and mineral composition. This study investigated the proximate and mineral composition of Sargassum spp. collected from Suntan Beach, Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria. The samples were dried, ground, and sieved, then analyzed for proximate composition using standard methods and for mineral composition using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Results revealed that the seaweed contained 69.9% carbohydrate, 8.08% protein, 6.79% lipid, 3.60% moisture, and 6.47% ash. Mineral analysis indicated high concentrations of sodium (228.38 ppm) and magnesium (115.02 ppm), moderate calcium (96.40 ± 0.511 ppm), and low levels of iron (14.5 ± 0.577 ppm) and zinc (5.13 ± 0.326 ppm). Compared to Sargassum spp. from other regions, significant variations were observed in nutritional and mineral composition, likely due to environmental and geographical differences. These results highlight the nutritional potential of Sargassum spp. from Badagry as a valuable resource for food and health applications. Additionally, the study underscores its potential for environmental sustainability, given its ability to contribute to the blue economy. Further research is recommended to explore its bioactive compounds and to assess its potential for industrial and pharmaceutical applications.

Authors: Abdullah khan  , Syed Mansoor shah  , Jawad Ahmed  , Saba gul  , Siraj ulhaq  , Attaullah  , Syed Shah Fahad
Published: February 2025

Degenerative spine disease (DSD) is a progressive disease of the spine affecting inter vertebral discs, bones, soft tissues and joints. This condition not only affects the stability of the spine but it also affects its alignment. Alignment of the spine is of special importance at Spinal-pelvic junction specially its sagittal alignment, broadly referred to as Spinal sagittal balance. Main objective parameters that determine the Spinal sagittal balance is Sacral slope (SS), Pelvic tilt (PT), Lumbar lordosis (LL) and Pelvic incidence (PI).

Lumbar spine fixation is a surgical procedure aimed to restore not only the stability but also the alignment of the spine. In this retrospective study spanning over 2 years at a tertiary care hospital, we evaluated patients before and after the spine fixation surgeries in terms of their Spinal sagittal parameters. Total 52 patients were included in the study and followed for one year period, with majority (32) patients showing correction of the parameters especially Sacral slope, Lumbar lordosis and Pelvic tilt. Patients with corrected spinal alignment also showed significant clinical improvement in terms of low back pain and Oswestry disability index (ODI).

Based on the results of the study, we can conclude that Spine fixation improves Sagittal balance of the spine in selected population.
