URBANISTIC NOMINATION IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN LANGUAGE PROCESSES THE: FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTIC AND LINGUOCULTURAL ASPECTS
Authors:   O. O. Potebnya Institute of Linguistics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Kyiv, Ukraine, RADZIIEVSKA T. V.
Published: September 2021

The article deals with the modern Ukrainian urbanistic nomination as a constituent of active language processes. From the standpoint of general linguistics functional and semantic nature of urbanonym, its place and role in different discourses, the sociolinguistic phenomenon of renaming (on the example of Kyiv urbanonymy) are examined. In the context of ideas of reference analysis and semantics of syntax an urbanonym is characterized as a unit of an identifying type of meaning (as opposed to units of a predicate type of meaning), to which a close connection between a denotatum and a name, as well as the use in an utterance with the referential function is peculiar. It is shown that the functioning of an urbanistic nomination in oral discourse is determined, first of all, by the pragmatic factor, the speaker’s knowledge of the relationship between the denotatum and its name, his cultural background and experience of living in a certain urban space and by the need for orientation in it. In written speech, the urbanistic nomination is presented in reference and informational, media, historical-topographic, and fiction discourses, in which it has various functions, in particular, the function of identifying an individual or legal entity in juridical texts and other texts of a documentary type. The active sociolinguistic processes in which the urbanonyms are involved find an imprint in modern fiction discourse in the creation of non-standard syntactic constructions and the use of unofficial urbanistic nominations within the frame of language game. The practice of renaming is analyzed in the aspect of reference analysis, in connection with which two types of linguocultural situations are distinguished, due to the correlation between the transformation of the urban object (denotatum) and the change of name. It is shown that in the modern Ukrainian practice of renaming, there is a steady tendency towards the introduction of an additional predicate semantic component into the meaning of an urbanonym. It is concluded that the current functioning of the urbanonym is subordinated to the mechanisms that operate in the different discursive practices.
AUTHOR’S INDIVIDUAL PUNCTUATION AS AN ELEMENT OF TEXT GRAPHICS
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University Lutsk, Ukraine, PRУKHODKO N. S.
Published: September 2021

The article sheds light on the concept of text graphics and the importance of punctuation in the graphic system of the text, in particular, poetic text. The author elucidates various scholars’ approaches to the definition of the term author’s individual punctuation, with a focus on the system-structural features of some punctuation marks and the most important functions of punctuation as a stylistic device. The article analyzes the expressive and stylistic means used to produce the greatest emotional influence on the listener or reader and classifies them into constructive, emotive, combined, and contaminated groups. The multi-functionality of the author’s punctuation embraces strengthening the aesthetic loading of punctuation marks and expanding the boundaries of their use. The unregulated use of punctuation mark is determined by historical changes and the semantic principles concerning the location of punctuation marks. Author’s punctuation can be interpreted as a substitution of some normatively motivated signs/marks with the unregulated ones; as a text devoid of any marks; as an excessive use of either some particular punctuation marks or only one of them and, on the contrary, their complete absence in the text. The article outlines the main functions of the author’s punctuation: emotional, emphatic, logical, evaluative, semantic, dividing. The individual style, dependence on the functional style, genre, traditions, and norms of a definite historical epoch are the factors that influence the author’s individual punctuation system formation. The author’s punctuation is an interstyle phenomenon because it is inherent in texts of different functional styles. The research findings argue that the author’s individual punctuation system should be interpreted in a broad sense as any conscious, deliberate choice of the unregulated punctuation mark, not fixed in the spelling rules, and in a narrow understanding — all the punctuation marks in the author’s manuscript, which are different from the normative use.

It has been 150 years since D.I. Mendeleev formulated the Periodic law and expressed it visually in the form of a table of elements in 1869. As is clearly well known today, Mendeleev’s ideas, confirmed by the discovery of the elements he predicted, turned out to be very promising indeed. However, Mendeleev was not the first, nor the only scientist to have investigated the periodic arrangement of the elements. With this in mind, the present paper seeks to highlight some of the other efforts made in the field during Mendeleev’s lifetime. Keywords: D. Mendeleev, periodic table, table options, history of science.

Authors:   University of Ottawa, Canada, Trudel Louis , Métioui Abdeljalil ,   Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada
Published: September 2021

The domain of motion or kinematics is important because it forms the basis of mechanics, an important branch of physics. By studying kinematic phenomena in the laboratory, high school students are likely to develop a better understanding of kinematics concepts as well as elements of the scientific approach to study natural and constructed phenomena. However, students encounter difficulties in understanding these concepts, just as in the acquisition of the skills necessary for the accomplishment of the different stages of an experimental process. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to provide guidance, according to a historical approach, which would inform teachers in the design of teaching sequences on the study of kinematics. Keywords: conceptual understanding, high school physics education, historical approach, kinematics.

Published: September 2021

Research suggests that there is not enough integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into subject teaching by graduate teachers across a variety of school settings. This points in part to the inadequacy of preservice teacher preparation. Hence, this research explores the question of how preservice teachers develop the necessary competence to teach, particularly science subjects, using ICTs, by examining the opportunities to learn (OTLs) that are provided at three different South African universities. Keywords: ICT, opportunities to learn, preservice teachers, science teaching, teacher education.
MAGNET AND ITS APPLICATION. PHYSICS EDUCATION IN KINDERGARTEN
Authors:   University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in Siedlce, Poland, Klim-Klimaszewska Anna
Published: September 2021

It is generally accepted that education in the field of physics is possible only when one has received sufficient grounds for it. But physics is an attempt to understand the world around us. Everything one needs to study physics is an open mind and willingness to learn. It is also commonly thought that preschool-age children have a natural curiosity to figure out how the world functions. They focus not only on people but also on objects which they touch, taste, smell, throw into water, etc. Therefore, physics may be introduced as early as in kindergarten. Experiments in physics conducted together with a preschool group activate all analyzers, facilitate a more complete understanding of curricular contents, allow children to discover answers independently and to formulate conclusions. The research presents theoretical considerations regarding the nature of the class of physics conducted with preschool-age children and examples of practical solutions corresponding to physics-related activities performed in a group of 6-year-olds in the Self-Government Kindergarten at the School Complex in Łomazy. Keywords: natural curiosity, physics education, preschool education, 6-year-old child.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin müdür desteği algıları ile okulların akademik iyimserlik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. İlişkisel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, 2020-2021 öğretim yılında Hatay ilinin Defne merkez ilçesindeki ilköğretim okullarında görevli öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma evreninden basit seçkisiz örnekleme yoluyla seçilen 333 ilköğretim okulu öğretmeni örnekleme alınmıştır. Veri toplama aracı kişisel bilgi formundan, müdür desteği ölçeğinden ve okul akademik iyimserlik ölçeğinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın sonucunda öğretmenlerin algılarına göre okul müdürleri, genel olarak öğretmenleri desteklediği tespit edilmiştir. Ancak okul müdürünün araçsal desteği, duygusal desteğe ve öğretimsel desteğe göre daha fazladır. Okulların genel olarak akademik iyimserlik düzeyleri yüksektir. Bununla birlikte okullardaki akademik vurgu, öz yeterlik ve güvenden daha yüksektir. Araştırmada, müdür desteği ölçeğinin alt boyutları ile okul akademik iyimserlik ölçeğinin alt boyutları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Öğretmenlerin müdür desteği algılarının okulların akademik iyimserlik düzeylerinin anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Okul müdürlerinin en az öğretimsel desteği sunduğu, okulların akademik iyimserliklerinin ise en az güven boyutunda olduğu göz önüne alınarak okul yöneticilerine yönelik düzenlenecek hizmetiçi eğitim programlarının içeriğinde öğretimsel liderlik ve örgütsel güven konularına öncelikle yer verilebilir.

Bu araştırmada, ilkokul ikinci ve üçüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin üçlü kodlama modeline göre sunulan sayısal büyüklüklerin sayı doğrusunda tahmin becerilerinin matematik başarısı, aritmetik performansı ve basamak değeri kavrayışı ile ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri, matematik başarı testi (MBT), aritmetik performans testi (APT), basamak değeri testi (BD) ve bilgisayar yazılımı olarak hazırlanan sayı doğrusunda tahmin testleri (SDT) ile toplanılmıştır. Bilgisayar ortamındaki testler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilmiş olup üçlü kodlama modeline göre tasarlanan sembolik, sözel ve görsel (kanonik ve rastgele çokluklar) kodlardan ve 0-10 ile 0-100 sayısal aralıklardan oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu İç Anadolu Bölgesi’nde bulunan bir ilden toplam 214 ikinci ve üçüncü sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Bulgular, üçüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin tüm testlerde sayı doğrusu üzerinde tahminlerinin ikinci sınıf öğrencilerine göre daha doğrusal olduğunu göstermektedir. Her sınıf düzeyinde MB testine göre belirlenen alt ve üst başarı grubunda yer alan öğrencilerin başarısı APT, BD, SDT 0-10 ve 0-100 açısından farklılaşmaktadır. Bu farklılaşmanın özellikle APT ve BD testleri açısından daha belirgin olduğu görülmüştür. Üçüncü sınıfta alt ve üst gruplar arasındaki başarı farkı daha da açılmaktadır. Üçlü kod modeline göre tasarlanan 0-10 tahmin aralığındaki testlerden Sözel 0-10 ve Kanonik 0-10 matematik başarısını daha çok yordamaktadır. Basamak değeri kavrayışını en çok Sembol 0-10 yordarken, aritmetik performansını en çok Kanonik nokta sayılama 0-10 yordamaktadır. 0-100 aralığındaki tahmin testlerinde ise, matematik başarısını en çok Sembol 0-100 yordarken, basamak değeri kavrayışını da Sembol 0-100 ve Rastgele nokta sayılama testleri yordamaktadır. Farklı temsil biçimleri ile öğretimin çocukların kapsamlı matematik kavrayışları açısından daha yararlı olacağı sonucuna varılabilir.

The performance of the administration of local government describes the work performance that can be achieved during a period. The performance of those that get Unqualified Opinion (UQ) should be better than those with Qualified Opinion (QO). This study was aimed to compare the performance of the regional government in Southern Sumatera which obtained UQ and OQ for the observed period. The object was 60 local governments in Southern Sumatra. Hypothesis testing used the Mann Whitney Test. The test results showed that there were differences in performance between the regional governments that obtained UQ and OQ by using the Pure Participation Rate (PPR) as the indicator. This means those that obtained UQ were more successful in providing services to the community, especially in the field of education. However, there were no differences by using the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), capital expenditure, Performance Evaluation Local Government Administration (PELGA), and Human Achievement Index (HDI) as the indicators. Research implications for local governments are expected to be able to improve the performance, especially in the field of finance by increasing detection of regional revenue sources and being able to manage them well.

Adnexal torsion during pregnancy: A rare cause of acute abdomen
Authors: Zacharis Konstantinos , Kravvaritis Stavros , Charitos Theodoros , Chrysafopoulou Eleni , Fouka Anastasia
Published: September 2021

Ovarian torsion is caused by rotation of the ovary or adnexa with the vascular pedicle on its axis resulting in arterial and venous obstruction. Here we report a case of a pregnant woman presented to the emergency department in early second trimester with acute abdomen. History revealed the presence of an ovarian mass detected by ultrasonography 6 months before pregnancy. Sonographic examination showed right adnexal mass with abnormal Doppler velocimetry and thus immediate laparotomy was decided. Right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and post-operative course of the patient was uneventful. According to this case, adnexal torsion should not be eliminated from differential diagnosis when it comes to pregnant women with acute abdomen.

Introduction: Embryo development is characterized by lack of cell cycle check-points and overexpression of core circadian oscillators. On previous report we have identified several genes over-and under-detected at human embryo blastomeres. In this study, we investigated the expression profile of Kcnh5, KIFC1 and miRNA-302 genes at three pre-implantation stages of mouse embryo development. Material and methods: Total RNA was extracted from mouse embyos at 8-cell, morula and blastocyst stage. The expression profile of Kcnh5, KIFC1 and miRNA-302 was assessed by RT-PCR and the results were normalized with G6pdh expression levels. Results: Kcnh5 showed absence of expression at all stages, indicating novel mechanisms of cell cycle control during blastomeres divisions. KIFC1 showed positive expression at all stages, with decreasing levels as the embryogenesis progresses. This finding indicates that KIFC1 may have more important role at early events. miRNA-302 showed increased levels of expression at all stages, with morula having the highest levels. Therefore, miRNA-302 might play an important role at the events that happen during morula stage such as compaction. Conclusions: Cell cycle control of blastomeres at early embryogenesis might be based on different mechanisms compared to somatic cells and more research is needed in order to reveal crucial cycling elements.

Objective:The purpose of the present article is to present preliminary data related to the gynecological history and current health status of pregnant refugees that reside in long-term refugee camps in Greece. Materials and Methods: The study was funded by the European program “PHILOS – Emergency health response to refugee crisis” of the Greek Ministry of Health, implemented by the Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention (HCDCP), funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) of EU’s DG Migration and Home Affairs.Refugee pregnant women who resided in long-stay refugee camps of the mainland in Greece in 2017 were recruited. Results: Overall, 456 pregnant women were enrolled in the present study with a mean age of 27.5±6.9 years (median 27, range 17-48 years). 182 women (39.8%) were primigravidae. Mean gravidity was 2.4 (median 2, range 1-11). Among them 105 had a previous delivery, 75 women had 2 previous deliveries, 50 women had 3 previous deliveries and 14 had four previous deliveries. Of those, only six women had access to prenatal screening.Twenty-three women (5%) reported that had at least an artificial abortion performed (median 1, range 1-4) and 87 women (19.0%) had at least one spontaneous abortion (median 1, range 1-6).Two hundred and three women (44.5%) reported the use of a contraceptive method. Among them withdrawal (pull-out method) was the most prevalent accounting for almost half cases (36.9%), by followed by condom, intrauterine devices (IUD) and oral contraceptives. No differences were observed after checking the potential differences among the different age groups (p=.234). Conclusions: Refugee women that reside in long term refugee camps have limited access to national healthcare systems concerning their gynecological and obstetrical assessment. Future studies, should specifically target these problems to help structure specific healthcare plans that will ensure maternal and fetal well-being.

Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) has proven to be a valuable tool for infertile couples. Unfortunately, no perfect ovarian stimulation protocol has been designed and ovarian response shows great variability among women. Pharmacogenomics aims at detecting genetic markers so as to individualize protocols in order to maximize ovarian response to treatment. Follicle Stimulation hormone receptor (FSHR) mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms have been extensively studied. Splice variants of the FSHR have been detected in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF). This study aims to determine the presence FSH splice variants in Greek women undergoing IVF. RNA was extracted from cumulus cells from 35 women and analysed by real time PCR. Splice variants were detected by gel electrophoresis. Three cases of deletion of exon 9 and 2 cases of insertion of intron 8 were detected in our study group. No association between the presence of splice variants and response to ovarian stimulation was detected. Two live births were detected one in each variant group. Even though these two types of splice variant detected do not show any clinical correlation it is believed that variants of the FSHR may be associated with poor or high response to exogenous gonadotrophin so further research is necessary.

As women experience their partirution in health care facilities, they expect the best possible outcomes for them and their newborn, as interventions are supposed to be made accurately. Women in labour, are often directed to push as soon as the cervix reaches full dilation but this technique contradicts normal physiology. In contrast, when a woman is free to follow her instincts, by making spontaneous bearing down efforts, the time spending for pushing might be decreased and also urodynamic parameters after delivery are improved. In this second part of the effort made for detection of natural methods to assist delivery, it is presented an overview of the physiology of both the directed and the spontaneous pushing and a review of the literature suggesting that women in labour should be letting free to choose the labour technique that they prefer in terms of timing and type of the bearing down efforts.

Introduction: Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon cause of secondary postpartum hemorrhage that can be fatal. Material & Methods: We present a case of a 42-year-old woman who developed massive secondary postpartum hemorrhage 17 days after c-section and was diagnosed to have pseudoaneurysm from the left uterine artery on computed tomography scan. After blood transfusion she got hemodynamically stable and selective transcatheter arterial embolization was performed. Results: The pseudoaneurysm was successfully obliterated. Conclusions: Angiographic embolization is a safe and competent method for managing postpartum hemorrhage caused by pseudoaneurysm in hemodynamically stable patients. However, uterine artery ligation may be the preferred method for hemodynamically unstable patients when fertility preservation is strongly desired. In a woman with unexplained vaginal bleeding after c-section , pseudoaneurysm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of secondary postpartum hemorrhage. Angiographic embolization should be examined as a treatment method before turning to surgery, in suitable selected cases.

Introduction: It is well known that music acts as an analgesic. Facilitates muscle relaxation, reduction of physical pain and mental tension. Purpose of this original investigation: study the effect of music on maternal anxiety during cardiotocography as well as its effect on embryonic cardiac function in relation to mother’s heart rate. Method and materials: The survey, conducted in external midwifery medical services of Alexandra’s Hospital, involved 80 pregnant women who met the criteria for participation. They were divided in two groups. The 40 pregnant women were the Musical Group, and the other 40 were the Control Group. In both groups, the STAI scale was used. The control group underwent cardiotocography examination without listening to music. The Musical Group were selected to hear the music track ‘Kung Fu Piano: Cello Ascends’, a cover of the Piano Guys band. The hearing started 5 minutes before the end of the cardiotocography, with headset playing frequencies that are within the frequency spectrum of the music track and special music player, and 10 minutes before the end of the cardiotocography the pulse oximeter Beurer P080 was placed. In this music track we did music and frequency analysis with the following programs: SPAN of Voxeno and Reaper of Cocos, as well as Theory-Harmony of Music, to see if at the time certain changes in the track occur, there are corresponding changes in the heart rate of the mother and the fetus. Results: In our study we observed that music significantly decreased the level of anxiety of women subjected to non-stress test (NST) (Median anxiety score prior to the conduct of the non-stress test 53.38 (49-57) vs 25.20 (23-28) following the completion of the test. Moreover differences among women that heard music were significant compared to those that did not (25.20 (21-28) vs 56 (48-64)) despite the fact that baseline differences among the two groups were comparable (54.45 (59-67) vs 50.80 (53-58). Finally, following performance of music analysis we observed significant variations in the baseline heartbeat of pregnant women as well as in the cardiotocographic analysis of fetuses (number of accelerations, baseline rhythm); those patterns were directly related to musical characteristics of the track that women listened to. Conclusions: Music has a positive effect on pregnancy. It is a non-invasive way of anxiety relief, as well as a simple, non-time-consuming way of improving cardiotocography among low risk cases; thus, potentially diminishing false-positive results which may result in unnecessary deliveries.
TEACHER’ AND STUDENT’S ETHICAL CONCEPT IN AL GHAZALI'S PRESPECTIVE
Authors: Ma’rufi Abdul Madjid
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study was to find out in depth al-Ghazali's concept of teachers and students. This research is library research. This study concludes several points. First, the ethical concept of teachers and students according to Al Ghazali is influenced by the insight of akhlaqi Sufism. Second, the implementation of the concept of teacher ethics according to Al Ghazali can be practiced by prioritizing the affairs of the hereafter, leaving something related to the world. But many concepts of teacher ethics and according to Al Ghazali can still be applied today in accordance with the concept of Indonesian teacher ethics. Although not all of them are carried out because the studies are different. The ethical concept of teachers and students offered by al-Ghazali is very important in the world of education in an effort to apply al-Ghazali's educational values in the midst of an increasingly modern society.

The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of the amtsilati method at the Al-Aqobah Kwaron Islamic Boarding School, Jombang. This study concludes several points. First, the implementation of the Amtsilati Method at the Al-Aqobah Kwaron Diwek Jombang hut begins with mapping, namely: a) The first year of memorizing the rules of nahwu and sharaf science and understanding the five volumes of the Amtsilati book; b) The second year of implementing the Amtsilati method when reading a book that has been determined by the ustadz; c) The third year of reading, understanding the content of the yellow book with reference to the Amtsilati method. Second, the obstacle and solution in implementing the amtsilati method to accelerate the ability to read the yellow book at the Al-Aqobah Kwaron Diwek Jombang boarding school is the obstacle that students experience boredom when memorizing and understanding the Amtsilati method because of the different experiences of students before boarding and studying the yellow book. The solution is to add training so that those who are still left behind in the material can catch up with those who already understand giving lessons to those who cannot.
