Organizational risks of ensuring the reliability of turbine units at TPP and NPP
Authors: Kumenko A. I.
Published: October 2020

The problems and tasks that need to be systemically solved during the operation, adjustment and repair of hightech power equipment (PE) are considered. The main reasons for the deterioration in the quality of repair work are stated. It is noted that the destruction of repair trusts has led to the absence of a systemic approach to repair structures as part of energy systems. The lack of funding for applied science led to the disappearance of scientific schools. All other structures (generation, flow control) are combined and organized. As for repair structures, they were divided after the liquidation of the repair trusts, split into small parts and are virtually uncontrollable, both technically and organizationally. There is a lack of training for specialists in repair and adjustment of PE in the Russian Federation. Today, not a single university trains the required number of specialists in such important areas as installation, repair, commissioning and diagnostics. The number and quality of specialists, for example, at turbine departments of universities do not match the scope of tasks that must be solved today in the design and creation of high-tech equipment. It is shown that a decrease in reliability also takes place during the supply of imported equipment. Examples of loss of performance of equipment manufactured by foreign firms are given. It is noted that the non-compliance of the specialist training programs with today’s requirements already leads to errors in the management of the repair and operation processes. Insufficient attention in the field of training and retraining of specialists, poor-quality training programs and the absence of top-class specialists at departments, who could be able to set and solve urgent problems of the industry, carry the greatest systemic risks. The formulated systemic risks will sooner or later lead to an irreparable situation. These risks can only be reduced only by paying serious attention to the aforesaid problems over the next 5 – 10 years, and by restoring, at least partially, the potential of the leading departments. For most of the above problems, recommendations and proposals for solving the same are presented.

Published: October 2020

It becomes more and more obvious that focusing solely on economic efficiency is not a good strategy for business development. Moreover, a quantitative assessment of the integral operation indicators, including complex indicators of efficiency, environmental performance and safety, can help to protect a business against possible bankruptcy [1]. In the electric power industry, this is reflected in the modified concept of operational efficiency (OE). OE is not only the usual economic efficiency, but also operational reliability and safety. There is a good reason for such modification of the concept. In electric power systems (EPS), the actual service life of about 60% of the main equipment, devices and installations exceeds the rated value. We shall refer to such equipment as “overage facilities” (OF). The failure of such OF is the main cause of unacceptable system emergencies. During the rated service life of EPS, only a quantitative assessment of operational economic efficiency is performed. Operational reliability and safety (for example, the average monthly values) are not calculated, since they are guaranteed by the manufacturer. However, after the warranty period is over, operators still do not evaluate complex indicators of operational reliability and safety, since there is no methodology for their assessment. Moreover, it is necessary to be able to calculate the integral OE indicators which reflect the actual values of economic efficiency, operational reliability and safety. It can significantly reduce the risk of mistakes when choosing the methods for organizing operation, maintenance and repair. Then, decisions will be made based on comparing these integral indicators. The random nature of changes in technical and economic indicators (TEI) is determined by the random nature of changes in the integral OE indicators. The article presents new methods and algorithms for determining the feasibility of classifying the integral OE indicators of OF.

Evaluation of a multipump air pistol as a method for euthanizing young dairy goat kids
Authors: Hempstead Melissa N. , Fowler Jennifer L. , Shearer Jan K. , Plummer Paul J.
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

To assess the extent of damage to the skull and brain of cadaveric dairy goat kids caused by a .22-caliber, 16-g pellet fired from a multipump air pistol at various power levels.

SAMPLE

Cadavers of 8 male and 7 female dairy goat kids ≤ 5 days old.

PROCEDURES

Each cadaver was positioned in sternal recumbency with the head and neck extended on a straw bale. A multipump air pistol was held with the barrel perpendicular to and 2.5 cm from the head at the intersection of 2 imaginary lines that extended from the lateral canthus of each eye to the middle of the contralateral ear base and fired at half (5 pumps; n = 2), intermediate (7 pumps; 2), or full (10 pumps; 11) power. The head and neck were removed from the carcass for CT imaging and gross sectioning to determine the location of the pellet and extent of damage caused to the skull and brain.

RESULTS

The pellet successfully penetrated the skull of all 13 heads shot at full or intermediate power and 1 of the 2 heads shot at half power. The pellet did not fragment after entering the skull of any cadaver and penetrated the brainstem (necessary for instantaneous death) in only 7 cadavers.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The described technique was insufficient for use as a stand-alone method for euthanizing young dairy goat kids. Modification of the technique warrants further research to determine whether air pistols can be used to effectively euthanize young goat kids.
Design of a MAGLEV System with PID Based Fuzzy Control Using CS Algorithm
Authors: Ataşlar-Ayyıldız B. , Karahan O.
Published: October 2020

The main aim of this study consists of proposing a simple but effective and robust approach for PID type fuzzy controller (Fuzzy-PID) in order to improve the dynamics and stability of a magnetic ball levitation system. The design parameters of the proposed controller are optimally determined based on Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm. During the optimization, a time domain objective function is used for minimizing the values of common step response characteristics for the optimal selection of the controller parameters. Robustness tests are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller through extensive simulations under load disturbance, parametric variation and changes in references. Moreover, to show the advantage and compare the performance of the proposed controller, the PID and Fractional Order PID (FOPID) controllers tuned with CS are designed. The simulation results and comparisons with the CS based PID and FOPID controllers demonstrate that the CS based Fuzzy-PID controller has superior performance depending on small overshoot, short settling time, fast rise time and minimum steady state error. Compared with the PID and FOPID controller tuned with CS, the simulation results show that the proposed Fuzzy-PID controller tuned with CS outperforms in terms of the accuracy, robustness and the least control effort.
Self-Similar Decomposition of Digital Signals
Authors: Alexiev Kiril M. , Toshkov Teodor G. , Prodanov Dimiter P.
Published: October 2020

Traditionally, the engineers analyze signals in the time domain and in the frequency domain. These signal representations discover different signal characteristics and in many cases, the exploration of a single signal presentation is not sufficient. In the present paper, a new self-similar decomposition of digital signals is proposed. Unlike some well-known approaches, the newly proposed method for signal decomposition and description does not use pre-selected templates such as sine waves, wavelets, etc. It is realized in time domain but at the same time, it contains information about frequency signal characteristics. Good multiscale characteristics of the algorithm being proposed are demonstrated in a series of examples. It can be used for compact signal presentation, restoration of distorted signals, event detection, localization, etc. The method is also suitable for description of highly repetitive continuous and digital signals.
Offline Signature Identification and Verification Based on Capsule Representations
Authors: Gumusbas Dilara , Yildirim Tulay
Published: October 2020

Offline signature is one of the frequently used biometric traits in daily life and yet skilled forgeries are posing a great challenge for offline signature verification. To differentiate forgeries, a variety of research has been conducted on hand-crafted feature extraction methods until now. However, these methods have recently been set aside for automatic feature extraction methods such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Although these CNN-based algorithms often achieve satisfying results, they require either many samples in training or pre-trained network weights. Recently, Capsule Network has been proposed to model with fewer data by using the advantage of convolutional layers for automatic feature extraction. Moreover, feature representations are obtained as vectors instead of scalar activation values in CNN to keep orientation information. Since signature samples per user are limited and feature orientations in signature samples are highly informative, this paper first aims to evaluate the capability of Capsule Network for signature identification tasks on three benchmark databases. Capsule Network achieves 97 96, 94 89, 95 and 91% accuracy on CEDAR, GPDS-100 and MCYT databases for 64×64 and 32×32 resolutions, which are lower than usual, respectively. The second aim of the paper is to generalize the capability of Capsule Network concerning the verification task. Capsule Network achieves average 91, 86, and 89% accuracy on CEDAR, GPDS-100 and MCYT databases for 64×64 resolutions, respectively. Through this evaluation, the capability of Capsule Network is shown for offline verification and identification tasks.
“How can you be allergic to peas?” – A qualitative study to explore food handler’s knowledge, attitudes and understanding of food allergens
Authors: Allen David , Mitchell Graeme , Pascucilla Michael
Published: October 2020

It is clear that there is an increasing proportion of the United Kingdom (UK) population who are suffering with food allergies and this combined with an increase in the frequency of eating away from home (where there is less control over the content of food) poses a significant risk. In December 2014, the European Union (EU) introduced legislation which aimed to ensure that customers with food allergens could make informed choices and safely consume food, without the risk of a potentially life-threatening reaction. The research used semi-structured interviews with staff from a BCB, located in the North West of the UK, as the aim of the research was to explore food handlers’ knowledge, attitudes and understanding of food allergens. The findings of the semi-structured interviews identified five themes: E-learning training programmes: the staff felt that these were ineffective and did not take into account individual learning styles. Responsibility: there is a lack of clarity as to who is responsible, with staff believing the key responsibility lies with the customer. Communication: similarly, communication, both within the kitchen and within the company was not clear and likely to give rise to confusion. Need to make a profit: the staff felt that the drive for profit meant that customer safety was being compromised, especially when staff numbers were reduced. Staff awareness: the staff felt confident in their own ability to prepare a safe meal but indicated that staff may be dismissive towards claims of allergen sufferers. In conclusion, these themes illustrate that a significant risk exists for allergen suffers, who rely upon the knowledge, attitudes and understanding of BCB staff to ensure their meals are safely prepared.
Construction and Significance of Corporate Social Responsibility Indices – from Results to the Essence
Authors: Bernardová Dana , Kašparová Klára , Fink Martin , Ivanová Kateřina , Arkhangelska Tetiana
Published: October 2020

Background and Purpose: Regular reporting on Corporate Social Responsibility (hereinafter referred to as CSR) should make it easier for enterprises to identify the sustainability risks and lead to an increased investors and consumers’ confidence. The aim of the paper is to find out how the indices which evaluate the socially responsible behaviour of enterprises are constructed.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The scoping review is the method used in this study. The scoping question is: What do we know about the construction of indices evaluating the socially responsible behaviour of organisations from the existing expert resources?

Results: The analysis of 20 papers shows that there is no consensus about the method of determining the weights and constructing the index. There are 4 approaches to the aggregated index construction. The first one uses the percentage of filling the specific criteria or the average of values of specific dimensions of the index. The second one uses the multi-criteria decision-making methods (most often the Analytical hierarchical process method). The third one uses unconventional linguistic models and fuzzy logic and finally, the fourth one uses the factor analysis or the method of the main components.

Conclusion: The main feature of CSR indices lies in their methodological disunity. It complicates the understanding of the CSR outputs and essentially makes it impossible to create a CSR performance ranking, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter referred to as SMEs).

Authors: Naglič Alenka , Tominc Polona , Logožar Klavdij
Published: October 2020

Background and Purpose: Existing literature on the Industry 4.0 concept does not provide a clear empirical verification if and how the implementation of Industry 4.0 impacts export market orientation, market diversification, and export performance of firms. The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework on how firms can increase their export performance by knowing the impact of Industry 4.0 on firms’ export activities.

Methodology: The analysis is based on an examination of 81 Slovenian export firms, with the majority active in the processing industry in which the export of products and services represents a more than 20% share in the total revenue of the firm. Factor analysis and multiple regression were used to process the collected data.

Results: The analysis results reveal that firms that invest in advanced technologies and realize digital transformation are better prepared to compete internationally and achieve better export performance.

Conclusion: Our study showed the positive link between implementation of Industry 4.0 and export activities of firms and confirmed that implementation of Industry 4.0 leads to many changes in the mindset and operation of Slovenian firms and actively reflects in their export results. The research findings may serve as an important guide for managers in the optimal planning and management of export marketing and business activities. The study thus provides a foundation for the growing research on the relationship between Industry 4.0 and export business activities of firms.

Authors: Kudla Nazar , Myronov Yuriy
Published: October 2020

Introduction.
Wine tourism is an important element of two industries – viticulture and tourism. For the tourism industry, wine is a significant factor of the tour attractiveness, a motive for a special trip. The goals and methods of wine tourism fully correspond to the social and humanitarian mission of tourism as an important factor in the dialogue of cultures, respect for universal cultural values, and tolerance towards the way of life, worldview and traditions of other peoples.

Materials and methods.
The paper uses a point method for evaluating certain parameters of wine tourism facility attractiveness. According to the defined list, the marketing research with a survey of 22 participants of the Chervene Vyno Festival was conducted in Mukachevo (Ukraine) in 2020 and sources of information regarding three wineries were analysed.

Results.
The evaluation of wine tourism facilities under examination took into account three components of attractiveness: tourist resources, infrastructure and communication accessibility. The methodological basis of the research consists of ten criteria that were evaluated on a scale from 1 to 5 points. The defined criteria form the discussion basis for the needs of improving and modifying the evaluation procedure.

Conclusions.
The proposed methodology allows evaluating wine tourism facility attractiveness and identifying the leaders of this market. The results of this study can be verified by conducting marketing surveys of tourists and standardized reports with winemakers. Beyond subjectivism in determining the evaluation criteria, the obtained results show the actual offer condition and the adaptation of wine tourism facilities to the service of tourists.

The Syntactic Functions of Conversational Implicature Utterances with Academic Context: Pragmasyntactic Studies
Authors: Suhartono Suhartono
Published: October 2020

Background:

Pragmatic analysis has been widely developed through the use of an implicature.  This paper tries to focus on the syntactical functions elaborated from an academic discourse as the focus of analysis.  This study aimed to find the syntactic function of conversational interference spoken by speakers in academic contextual communication. The syntactical functions were identified in three parts: predicate, subject, and adverbs.

Methodology:

To achieve this objective, data in the form of oral statements with academic background were collected using note-taking techniques from 114 subjects through participant observation in lecture activities, online and offline meetings, discussions, final project consultations, and training. The data was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman flow technique through data reduction, data presentation, and the conclusion/verification of data analysis results.

Findings:

Results show that pragmatic expressions that can help the speaker to identify the intent of the speaker were positioned as fillers of predicates, subjects, and information. This pragmatic expression is the impact of the incomprehensibility or inconsistency of the narrator with the speaker who was previously the listener. For the sake of completeness, speakers add other pragmatic expressions with substitution strategies, additions, and conditional forms with an orientation that prioritizes politeness by avoiding direct speech with the negation of 'tidak (no),' 'belum (not yet),' 'bukan (not)' and 'jangan (not).

Published: October 2020

Las conductas autolesivas implican hacerse daño sin la intención de llegar al suicidio, y son comportamientos que se consideran como un problema que va en aumento entre la población adolescente; de hecho, en México los datos estadísticos estiman que 10% de los adolescentes se autolesionan; no obstante, la investigación de los factores de riesgo contextuales que propician tales conductas se ha considerado inadecuada y limitada. Objetivo: Con la finalidad de recabar las variables y teorías actuales para abordar el problema, el propósito de esta revisión fue analizar la bibliografía especializada sobre los factores contextuales relacionados a las conductas de autolesión no suicida en adolescentes. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en las bases de datos Scopus, EBSCO, Dialnet Plus y SciELO, considerando los artículos publicados de enero de 2015 a abril de 2019, y empleando las palabras clave self-injury, self-harm, adolescents, teenagers, risk factors, autolesión, adolescentes y factores de riesgo, ubicadas tanto en el título como en el resumen. Se seleccionaron diez trabajos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión en la base bibliográfica. Resultados: Entre las variables estudiadas en los distintos artículos, relacionadas con la familia se encontraron como significativas la muerte de los padres, un historial de abuso y los conflictos familiares, mientras que en las vinculadas a la escuela la variable significativa fue la victimización en el acoso escolar.

Published: October 2020

El propósito de esta investigación fue conocer una realidad social poco explorada desde el enfoque psicoanalítico: las construcciones subjetivas ante el duelo de un cuerpo sano en adolescentes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1. El estudio se llevó a cabo mediante un diseño metodológico de enfoque cualitativo, no experimental, transversal, exploratorio y descriptivo. Desde el paradigma psicoanalítico e interpretativo, está fundamentado en la fenomenología hermenéutica. Se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad a la población estudiada, constituida por cinco adolescentes con la referida enfermedad de entre 12 a 14 años de edad, adscritos a la Asociación Mexicana de Diabetes. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó la observación no participante en campamentos de verano, así como la entrevista a profundidad, el registro de opiniones y el análisis del discurso. Ser diagnosticado con diabetes en la adolescencia implica un doble duelo: la confrontación de las consecuencias orgánicas y los duelos propios de la adolescencia. El inconsciente social contribuye a estigmatizar ciertas enfermedades y, por consiguiente, a quienes las padecen, ocasionándoles dolor psíquico y desestabilidad en sus proyectos de vida. A través de la convivencia con la diabetes, los adolescentes perciben tener beneficios con la enfermedad, a la que adjetivan a través metáforas, manifestando una gran resistencia a renunciar a la misma.
El rol del psicogastroenterólogo en los equipos de salud
Authors: González Tovar Mariela
Published: October 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue resaltar la importancia de la participación de los psicólogos en los equipos multidisciplinarios que atiendan a pacientes con enfermedades gastrointestinales. Existe una variedad de alteraciones emocionales que experimenta cada paciente, pero aun hoy se desconoce si son estas las que originan el padecimiento o son, por el contrario, las consecuencias del mismo, razón por la que es relevante atenderlas y valorarlas para poder tener una mejor comprensión de la enfermedad y, a la vez, lograr una mejor calidad de vida para los pacientes. Profundizar en estos aspectos ayudará a fundamentar una nueva especialidad de la psicología consagrada a estudiar los procesos relacionados con la aparición y el desarrollo de las enfermedades gastrointestinales, diseñar programas de promoción y prevención en el área, y apoyar el diagnóstico, la evaluación y el tratamiento médico-nutricional.

Published: October 2020

Optic nerve gliomas (ONGs) are now regarded as true neoplasm with the ability to invade locally, but are relatively rare. Gliomas arise from astrocytes of the optic nerve and visual pathway. We describe a case of a 3-year-old bo y with painless progressive protrusion left eye for 1 month. The child was evaluated clinically and required investigations were carried out, the findings were consistent with the diagnosis of ONG. Magnetic resonance imaging is diagnostic to see its extension and to plan its management. An integrated approach should involve neuro-ophthalmologists, hemato-oncologist, oculoplastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and radiation oncologists.
COMPOUND NOUNS IN GERMAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Korol Svitlana
Published: October 2020

The article deals with one of the most common types of word formation in German as word compounding. Compound nouns have become the object of study, as this part of the language leads the way in the formation of new words in this way. The relevance of the research is reinforced by the fact that German compound nouns differ by their multicomponent structure and are in the process of regular growth of their numbers, so they are attracting the attention of Germanists of different generations continuously. The study has examined the nature of the component composition of composites, the types of bonding between components, the types of constituent components, the role of the connecting element, the syllable’s accentuation of components of the compound noun etc. The compound can be built from nouns, adjectives, verbs or an invariable element (prepositions). There is no limit of the number of the associated words. The last word in the compound always determines the gender and plural form of the compound noun. The connectors or linking elements in existing German compound words often correspond to old case endings (e.g., plural, genitive). These endings expressed the relationship of the compound parts to one another. The article considers the causes of the formation of complex nouns. Compounds make the German language more flexible. In general, compounds are used to convey more information in one word and for reasons of language economy. Special attention deserves such a phenomenon as Denglish. This is the mashing of words from the two languages to create new hybrid words.
PREDICATE- ARGUMENT STRUCTURE OF EMOTIVE VERBS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Authors: Baranovska Olga
Published: October 2020

This paper seeks to explore the category of emotiveness of the verb units in the lexico-semantic system of the English verb. The article characterizes the evolution of methods in this investigation of lexical units, basic notions of cognitive grammar, in particular. The predicate- argument structure of the verbs that designate emotive states has been defined. The conditions for the realization of grammatical structures have been presented. The survey studies the classification of the verbs according to their syntactic constructions, taking into account the relation of the subject and the object. As a result, the investigation highlights the features of the verbs that denote emotional relations and causatives. Experiencer argument, which can perform different syntactic functions, is an indispensable prerequisite for the predicate-argument structure of English emotive verbs. The algorithm for this analysis has been suggested. The predicate-argument structure of verb units expressing emotions in English and Ukrainian has been compared. Similar deep semantics of emotive verbs in English and Ukrainian finds a distinct expression in the surface structure, favouring different syntactic structures. A significant number of emotive verb units are expressed by intransitive, reflexive verbs with a postfix – sya in Ukrainian, while the constructions with adjectives and participles are characteristic of English.

Authors: Bernar Gloria
Published: October 2020

The article deals with detailed linguistic stylistic analysis of one of Harold Pinter’s “memory plays” Betrayal. The object of our investigation is the text of the play and the subject is its linguistic stylistic peculiarities. This literary work stands out from the rest of the plays due to its autobiographical element – the prototypes of main characters of Betrayal are Pinter himself, his lover Joan Bakewell and her husband. The central motif, as the title suggests, is betrayal which incorporates two types of this phenomenon – a betrayal of a spouse and a betrayal of a friend. We have studied the motif of betrayal realized both in author’s remark and characters’ dialogue at all language levels. It is noticeable that incomplete, elliptical sentences together with aposiopesis prevail – their purpose is to reflect emotional tension presented in characters’ utterances. Among other dominant figures of speech are repetition of different type (alliteration, morphological and lexical repetition, anaphora, epiphora and parallel construction), semantic associative group of words denoting human relationship and marriage, words denoting emotions (mostly adjectives), numerous intensifiers, words with strong emotional connotations and verbal irony. Also, author’s remarks “pause” and “silence”, performing various functions, are conspicuous.

Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the use of contaminated construction in publicistic texts (on newspaper material). The article discusses the concept of contaminated formation (their interaction, intersection, association of linguistic units or parts based on structural, functional, or associative proximity). The author identifies the criteria for this concept and explores the process of contamination at different levels of the language system. The role of various factors that affect the expression of contaminated constructs is explored. The author focuses on the semantic connections between the components of the contaminate and the general semantics of the combination as a whole.
PAREMIAS OF THE RUMEIC LANGUAGE, WHICH INDICATE FAMILY RELATIONS
Authors: Zharikova Yuliya
Published: October 2020

The article analyzes paremias, which indicate family relations among Rumei, who migrated to the Azov Sea area from the Crimea in the 18th century. It is indicated that the traditional Rumeic family was patriarchal, the head of the family was always a man. This tradition, for the most part, persists till nowadays, despite the fact that as a result of globalization and europeanization, the emphasis is shifting in the family structure of the Rumei. A woman held a lower position than a man, but she was always his shield and support. The paremias indicate that if a woman possessed intelligence and cunning, then she could easily manage to direct the man for her own benefits. A lot of paremias reflect the attitude of Rumei to children. They say that the basis of the family has always been children, without them the house seemed empty and devoid of life. A special honor for a man was the birth of sons, who were to become the successors of his family. The article describes the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law through paremias, which was not kind to the son’s wife. The article concludes by emphasizing the values that the parents tried to instill in their children, which is also reflected in the paremias of Rumei. Prospects for further research are seen in a comparative study of the paremias which indicate family relations in Rumeic, Modern Greek, Ukrainian, and Crimean Tatar Language.

Authors: Garmash Olena
Published: October 2020

This paper is a generalization of the results of linguocognitive analysis of English neologisms that have been formed with the help of a metacognitive model of affixal derivation. The article analyzes the theoretical foundations of the linguocognitive approach to the study of linguo-mental innovations, discusses such ways of affixal derivation as prefixation, suffixation, affixal composition. In order to represent the illustrative material of functioning of innovations of this type, text fragments from modern English-language periodicals of recent years has been selected presented in the work. The study also demonstrates the direct correlation between the growth of the stosk of morphological metaconcepts and the complication of changes in the social environment. In the article were established that in the processes of conceptual derivation, the mechanism of analogy plays a significant role, as a constant factor in the development of the linguistic-mental environment and one of the cognitive universals. The significance of the article, is that it’s a contribution to cognitive linguistics, so as the covered material can be used in teaching students Lexicology, and English as the first foreign language.
THE PECULIARITIES OF IRISHISMS IN IRISH ENGLISH WITHIN THE PERIOD OF THE IRISH LITERARY REVIVAL (END OF THE 19TH – BEGINNING OF THE 20th CENTURY)
Authors: Makaryshyn Nadia
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the analysis of borrowings from the Irish language in Irish English within the period of the Irish literary revival (end of the 19th century – beginning of the 20th century) borrowed in the context of linguo-cultural communication. The article also examines the factors that affect the dynamics and productivity of such borrowings, among which – the absence of competitive equivalents in English, a necessity to establish social contacts between English and Irish speakers and cultures, the revival of Irish autochthonous elements, and others. Four main historic periods of borrowings in the course of Anglo-Irish contacts are schematically outlined with the article concentrating on the third period, i.e. the Gaelic Revival. The material for the article is based on the literary texts of the English-speaking Irish authors of late 19th and early 20th cc. (William Butler Yeats, Isabella Augusta Gregory (Lady Gregory), George William Russell (alias AE) and John Millington Synge). The peculiar features of Irish borrowings, their use and functions were examined as well. The expedience for a further study of borrowing tendencies and assimilation of Irish vocabulary in Irish English was substantiated, which would contribute to understanding the mechanisms and consequences of linguistic and cultural interaction in Ireland.
USE OF LATIN ORIGINAL PREFIXES AND SUFFICES IN ROMANIAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Satsyuk Olga
Published: October 2020

The article deals with productive affixes of Latin origin, with the help of which many words of the Romanian language have been formed since the beginning of its formation from the Latin language of the Danube region. Latin suffixes and prefixes that continue to be used in the word formation process of modern Romanian are also analyzed. Some Romanian words were borrowed through other languages (French, German) The ways of penetration of the Latin language into the territory of modern Romania have been established. The process of Romanization began after the wars near the Oresteier Mountains (101-106), as a result of which Dacia was conquered and annexed to the Empire. It is noted that Dacia (modern-day territory of Romania) inherited a rich ancient heritage with the conquest of new provinces by the Empire and, thus, the spread of Roman cultural heritage. However, Latin was the official language in Dacia. Many new cities with introduced Roman civilization were also founded. Latin was spoken in the army and in state institutions. The vocabulary of the Romanian language, which was created with the help of Latin word-forming elements at the beginning of the Romanian language formation, is distinguished, and it is shown that these affixes are used in the modern Romanian language thus distinguishing productive and unproductive affixes.
