Authors: Romprasert Suppanunta , Srihachai Atsanee , Tanamee Danai , Wiriyapinit Sutthanuch
Published: December 2024

This study explored Thai consumers' perceptions of sustainable food packaging, investigating factors influencing their awareness, such as environmental consciousness and knowledge of eco-friendly options. Conducted through a structured survey with 800 Thai online food consumers, the research assessed attitudes toward plastic packaging waste, factors guiding the preference for sustainable options, and potential impacts on the food service industry. Findings revealed a substantial surge in Thai consumer interest in sustainable food packaging, driven by heightened environmental awareness. However, a significant gap emerged between consumer demand and the limited availability of sustainable options in the Thai online food sector. Despite growing interest, consumers lacked specific knowledge about diverse sustainable packaging alternatives and their environmental implications. This knowledge gap poses a challenge in aligning consumer aspirations with industry choices and the global sustainability standard such as ISO 14001, FDA guidelines and European Green Deal objectives. The study underscores the need for educational initiatives to enhance consumer awareness of clearing on eco-labeling to educate consumers on the sustainability benefits of the packaging. Bridging this knowledge gap is crucial to aligning consumer preferences with sustainability goals in the food packaging industry partnering with eco-certification bodies to enhance credibility. The research not only identifies trends but offers actionable steps for rising demand for sustainable alternatives, global regulatory push, and technology driven advancements. By implementing these recommendations, business as a leader in sustainability can meet market demands for sustainability, contributing to a more environmentally responsible future in the Thai online food industry regulatory requirements.

Authors:   Laboratory of Rural Engineering, School of Rural Engineering, National University of Agriculture, Chabi Edem
Published: December 2024

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become an essential tool in the global construction industry, enhancing project efficiency, collaboration, and quality. However, its adoption varies considerably across national contexts. This study evaluates the level of BIM maturity in Benin through the prism of the eight development axes proposed by Succar, which include technology, processes, standards, education, culture, strategy, policy, and regulation. The methodology is based on an analysis of regulatory frameworks, technological infrastructures, and educational systems, combined with an evaluation of current practices in the construction sector. This approach allowed for the identification of the main obstacles and opportunities related to the adoption of BIM in the country. The results indicate that the absence of a national strategy, harmonized standards, and integration into educational curricula constitute major barriers to the development of BIM in Benin. However, sporadic initiatives and individual projects reveal potential for a progressive transition. These observations highlight the necessity of a structured approach to align local practices with international standards and fully leverage the benefits of BIM in the construction sector.
Media Tone and Earnings Management before the Earnings Announcement: Evidence from China
Authors: Wang Huan
Published: December 2024

This article examines the relationship between media tone and earnings management before the earnings announcement. Using data from China, I discover a positive relationship between media tone before the earnings announcement and earnings management. For companies whose managers sell their ownership in the next time and have prior media exposure, the beneficial relationship is more pronounced. The relationship between abnormal media tone before results declaration and earnings management appears to be weakened by external oversight. According to the findings, managers can use media slant in addition to earnings management as a way to increase stock price following an earnings announcement. I also find that managers may use two public channels to influence media tone before the earnings announcement: the distribution of preliminary accounting data and earnings pre-announcement. Our study expands on the media’s involvement in earnings management and offers proof of the concurrent use of multiple management techniques to artificially raise stock prices.

Published: December 2024

The release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment considerably contributes to air pollution. To reduce the amount of these pollutants in the atmosphere, it has been necessary to introduce strict government regulations. In the bakery industry specifically, great attention is paid to the abatement of ethyl alcohol emissions released from the cooking chambers of industrial ovens. To control these emissions, VOC abatement devices are adopted, generally based on thermal and non-thermal technologies. After a detailed review of the most common systems for VOC reduction, the different technologies were evaluated by means of a technical-economic feasibility study focusing on an industrial bakery plant located in northern Italy, to identify the optimal abatement technology, intended as the solution that reaches the best trade-off among the legislative, environmental and economic aspects. Based on these considerations, the suggested choice resulted being the vacuum ultraviolet module, because of its efficiency and economic convenience.
MiRNA target enrichment analysis of co-expression network modules reveals important miRNAs and their roles in breast cancer progression
Authors: Bazyari Mohammad Javad , Aghaee-Bakhtiari Seyed Hamid
Published: December 2024

Breast cancer has the highest incidence and is the fifth cause of death in cancers. Progression is one of the important features of breast cancer which makes it a life-threatening cancer. MicroRNAs are small RNA molecules that have pivotal roles in the regulation of gene expression and they control different properties in breast cancer such as progression. Recently, systems biology offers novel approaches to study complicated biological systems like miRNAs to find their regulatory roles. One of these approaches is analysis of weighted co-expression network in which genes with similar expression patterns are considered as a single module. Because the genes in one module have similar expression, it is rational to think the same regulatory elements such as miRNAs control their expression. Herein, we use WGCNA to find important modules related to breast cancer progression and use hypergeometric test to perform miRNA target enrichment analysis and find important miRNAs. Also, we use negative correlation between miRNA expression and modules as the second filter to ensure choosing the right candidate miRNAs regarding to important modules. We found hsa-mir-23b, hsa-let-7b and hsa-mir-30a are important miRNAs in breast cancer and also investigated their roles in breast cancer progression.

Monochorionic twin pregnancies are a subset of twin pregnancies that face potential complications related to a shared circulation between the fetuses. These complications are related to anastomotic placental vessels connecting the cardiovascular systems of the two fetuses, which can result in significant sequela if one twin experiences intrauterine death. The sudden cardiovascular collapse in this scenario leads to a massive blood shift away from the healthy co-twin, significantly jeopardizing its life and long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. Such conditions include selective fetal growth restriction with abnormal Doppler findings, twin-twin transfusion with impending death in one twin and discordant fetal anomalies, for which fetal interventions are ineffective in improving outcomes or preventing the imminent death of the abnormal twin. Obstetricians have a professional obligation to respect the autonomy of pregnant patients and to maximize beneficence-based obligations to both pregnant and fetal patients. The goal of a selective termination is to maximize the health and life of the surviving fetal patient. It is recommended that policymakers consider including selective termination as an exemption to abortion ban laws.

Published: December 2024

Poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) is the polymeric material with good biodegradability and biocompatible properties, but it is insufficient in strength properties that the pure PLCL is performed as orthopedic bandage. The PLCL has been blended with the laponite which is modified by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to prepare composited bandage splines. The organic-modified laponite (OM-laponite) results of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetry analysis (TG) indicate that the laponite was successfully grafted with CTAB and the thermal stability was improved with increasing CTAB. The mechanical properties reveal that elongation at break strengthen with the increasing OM-laponite. When the content of OM-laponite is 2.0 %, the elongation at break and tensile strength of composited spline are superior to the medical orthopedic bandage. The results of thermal stability show that it was helpful to improve the crystallization properties of PLCL with the addition of OM-laponite. The water contact angle results demonstrate that the hydrophilicity is enhanced and is beneficial to cell adhesion. The results of cell experiment illustrate that the composite materials have a certain effect on cell proliferation when the content of OM-laponite is less than 2 %. Compared with the medical orthopedic bandage, it is satisfied with the application requirements.

Objectives

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any type of involuntary loss of urine. Pathophysiological changes that occur in the urinary system due to aging, especially ischemia, cause functional and structural changes in the urinary system. Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the body’s oxidative radicals and antioxidant defense systems. In this study, we aimed to investigate the link between UI and oxidative stress indicators in older people.

Methods

Patients were divided into two groups: the group with incontinence and the group without incontinence. A comprehensive geriatric evaluation was performed on all patients, and they were compared according to serum native thiol, disulfide, and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels.

Results

A total of 145 patients aged 65 years and older were included in the study (44, incontinence; 101, continence). The median age of individuals with UI was 75 (69–83) years. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were made to determine the cut-off for thiol-disulfide homeostasis and IMA. Disulfide and native thiol divide disulfide values ​​were more significant than other oxidative stress parameters. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) values were 0.65 (95 % CI:0.55–0.74) for disulfide and 0.60 (95 %CI:0.50–0.70) for disulfide divide native thiol (p=0.005, p=0.049, respectively).

Conclusions

Thiol disulfide homeostasis and IMA molecules, which are indicators of oxidative stress, were found to have significantly higher levels of disulfide and disulfide divide native thiol in patients with incontinence. We think it may be important to look at the possible therapeutic benefits of paying attention to the levels of these molecules in relation to the management of UI in older people.
A pilot evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of ChatGPT-3.5 for multiple sclerosis from case reports
Authors: Joseph Anika , Joseph Kevin , Joseph Angelyn
Published: December 2024

The limitation of artificial intelligence (AI) large language models to diagnose diseases from the perspective of patient safety remains underexplored and potential challenges, such as diagnostic errors and legal challenges, need to be addressed. To demonstrate the limitations of AI, we used ChatGPT-3.5 developed by OpenAI, as a tool for medical diagnosis using text-based case reports of multiple sclerosis (MS), which was selected as a prototypic disease. We analyzed 98 peer-reviewed case reports selected based on free-full text availability and published within the past decade (2014–2024), excluding any mention of an MS diagnosis to avoid bias. ChatGPT-3.5 was used to interpret clinical presentations and laboratory data from these reports. The model correctly diagnosed MS in 77 cases, achieving an accuracy rate of 78.6%. However, the remaining 21 cases were misdiagnosed, highlighting the model’s limitations. Factors contributing to the errors include variability in data presentation and the inherent complexity of MS diagnosis, which requires imaging modalities in addition to clinical presentations and laboratory data. While these findings suggest that AI can support disease diagnosis and healthcare providers in decision-making, inadequate training with large datasets may lead to significant inaccuracies. Integrating AI into clinical practice necessitates rigorous validation and robust regulatory frameworks to ensure responsible use.

Published: December 2024

The accessible literature sources do not give an integrated register of non-native tree species in Bosnia and Herzegovina and western Balkans floras. Therefore, the focus of this study was on an inventory of allochthonous dendroflora in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) by 2023. Numerous literature sources, the herbarium collection of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SARA) and the authors' field investigations were used to create the allochthonous B&H dendroflora list. The inventory list comprises dendro species of trees, shrubs and lianas. The survey consists of 552 non-native dendro taxa, associated with family, geographic origin, residence time status, degree of naturalization, zone of resistance, and abundance of the investigated taxa. A total of 82 families, 208 genera, and 552 taxa, which included species level, subspecies, varieties, and hybrids were recorded. The B&H allochthonous dendroflora generally originate from Asia (260 taxa) and North America (128), with a significant share of hybrids (81). Only 19 archaeophytes were registered. According to the degree of naturalization, it was observed that as many as 451 taxa are casual and 13 invasive. The non-native dendro species in B&H mainly belong to the USDA Hardiness Zones 4-9, 5-9 and 6-9. The alien dendroflora of B&H includes 152 occasional, 142 rare, 198 abundant and only 60 taxa with massive abundance. The presented results give a detailed insight into the allochthonous dendroflora of B&H, which is also the first such presentation for the Western Balkans.

Eimme-i Hanefiyye’den Cevab Ne Vechiledir?: Şeyhülislâm Fetvalarında Tecrit ve Telhis
Authors: Midilli Muharrem
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma şeyhülislâm fetvalarının formüle edilme sürecinde ve sonrasında tabi tutulduğu tecrit ve telhis işlemlerine odaklanmaktadır. Şeyhülislâm fetvaları genellikle gerçek kişi, yer ve zaman isimleri içermez. Meşihat görevlileri müsteftînin anlattığı somut olayları fıkıh kitaplarındaki en yakın soyut hükümlere benzetmek için elden geldiğince gerçek unsurlardan tecrit ederler ve uygun şekilde özetlerler. Bu işlem iftâ faaliyetinin daha hızlı ve güvenli bir şekilde yütürülmesi bakımından gereklidir. Ayrıca fetva sadır olduğu gerçek olayın ötesinde genel bir hüküm mahiyetinde olduğu için soyut bir tarzda formüle edilmelidir. Şeyhülislâm fetvalarında tecrit ve telhis ilk aşamada müsteftînin anlattığı meselenin hukuki cevap için gerekli olmayan unsurlardan arındırılması ve temsili isimler eklenerek mesele-cevap formunda fetva diline aktarılmasıyla gerçekleşir. Tecrit ve telhisin bu aşaması çalışmada 16. yüzyılda bir ferman ve bir fetvaya konu olan gerçek bir olay örneğinde gösterilmiştir. Orijinal fetvalar derlenip mecmualara aktarılırken genellikle ikinci bir tecrit işlemi meydana gelir. Fetvalar mesele ve cevaptan oluşan temel bölümleri dışındaki bütün unsurlardan soyutlanır. Hukuki meselenin ve cevabın anlaşılmasında pratik faydası olmayan dua ve talep ifadeleri ile imza dışarda bırakılır. Bu aşamada telhisten ziyade tecrit söz konusudur. Bazen salt mesele ve cevaptan oluşan fetvaların bir kez daha tecrit ve telhis işlemine tabi tutulduğu görülür. Bu aşama fetvaların mesele-cevap formlarının bozularak genellikle tek cümlelik soyut ya da yarı-soyut fikhî meselelere dönüştürülmesiyle gerçekleşir. Çalışmada 59 kelimeden oluşan orijinal bir fetvanın, tecrit ve telhis sürecinde tedrici olarak önce soru ve cevaptan ibaret fetvaya, ardından da 10 kelimelik soyut fıkhî bir hükme dönüşme aşamaları gösterilmiştir. Şeyhülislâm fetvalarının toplandığı mecmualar tecrit ve telhis yoluyla ait oldukları zamanların güncel hukuki meselerini yansıtan muhtasar fıkıh metinlerine dönüştürülebilir.
Bir Söz Estetiği Olarak Kur’an’ın Son Sözleri: Hüsnü’l-Hâtime Sanatı Açısından Bir İnceleme
Authors: Çokyürür Mehmet Zahid
Published: December 2024

Kur’ân’ın iʻcâz veçhesi, belagatin en mühim disiplinleri olan meânî ve beyân ilimleriyle
ortaya konulabileceği gibi bedîî sanatlarla da pek tabii izah edilebilir. Zira
Kur’ân belagatin temel dinamiğidir. Bu araştırmada Kur’ân, anlamsal bedîî sanatlardan
olup önemli bir söz estetiği konumuna haiz olan hüsnü’l-hâtime bağlamında incelemeye
alınmıştır. Arap belagatinde hüsnü’l-hâtime; muhataba sözün biteceği hissettirilerek
sonunun kulağa hoş gelecek şekilde tatlı, biçiminin güzel, manasının ise latif
kılınmasıdır. Arap edebiyatı tarihinde hüsnü’l-hâtime şair, yazar ve hatiplerce özen
gösterilen bir husus olmuştur. Özellikle Abbasîler dönemindeki şair ve ediplerce bu
sanat çeşitli vecihleriyle söze başarılı bir şekilde uygulanmıştır. Kur’ân’ı Kerîm’de de
hüsnü’l-hâtimeye dair zengin bir veri bulunmakla birlikte ilk etapta bu sanatın sure
sonlarındaki varlığı akla gelmektedir. Hâlbuki çalışma derinleştirildiğinde sadece
sure sonlarında değil, sure içi bölümlerde, hatta ayet sonları ile vahyin sona erdiğini
bildiren pasajlarda dahi bu sanatın varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum eldeki çalışmanın
ilham kaynağını oluşturmuştur. Mevcut literatür bu bağlamda tarandığında bu
araştırmanın muhteva ve metoduna sahip olan başka bir akademik çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır.
Yakın denilebilecek çalışmalar incelendiğinde ise bu çalışmaların içerik,
gaye, usul ve ulaştığı sonuçlar bakımından kısmen benzeşen yönleri olsa da büyük
ölçüde farklılık arz ettiği gözlenmiştir. Söz gelimi özellikle tefsir literatüründe bu
sanat daha çok tefsir ilmindeki surelerin başı ile sonu arasındaki münasebet açısından
ele alınırken bu çalışmada, Arap edebiyatçı ve belagatçilerinin belirlemiş olduğu
hüsnü’l hâtime kriterleri açısından meseleye yaklaşılmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmanın,
özellikle bu açılardan literatüre katkı sunacağı umulmaktadır. Araştırmada literatür
tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu meyanda öncelikle bu sanatın kavram çerçevesi,
teorik boyutuyla ilk kez hangi âlimlerce ele alındığı, sanatın icrasındaki temel ölçütlerin
neler olması gerektiği hususları ile şiir, nesir ve hitabe gibi temel Arap edebiyatı
yazınlarındaki yeri incelenmiş, daha sonra Kur’ân’ı Kerîm’deki hüsnü’l-hâtime olgusunun
mertebeleri ve temel niteliklerinin tespitine çalışılmıştır. Neticede bu sanatın
literatürde çok sayıda kavramla kullanıldığı, bunun bir sonucu olarak edebiyat ve belagat
âlimlerinin sanatın ilk mucidinin kim olduğu noktasında uzlaşamadıkları, yine
İbn Reşîk ile Ebû Hilâl el-Askerî arasında Cahiliye Dönemi şiirinde sanatın var olup
olmadığı çerçevesinde bir uzlaşmazlığın olduğu gibi hususlar tespit edilmiştir. Bu durumun
iki âlimin hüsnü’l-hâtime sanatına bakışlarının ve hüsnü’l-hâtime ölçütlerinin
farklılığından kaynaklanmış olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
“…But Zaraysk is Certainly Richer and Better” (Town of Childhood in the Life and Work of F. M. Dostoevsky)
Authors: Kondratiev Kirill
Published: December 2024

The historical realities of the town of Zaraysk, Ryazan province, which is associated with the childhood and adolescence of F. M. Dostoevsky, have not received due attention from researchers to date. The article, based on a large array of previously unknown archival documents, provides a general description of the town’s socio-economic development in the 1830s, which allows to clarify a number of facts of the writer’s early biography and explain his enthusiastic appraisal of Zaraysk in personal correspondence in 1868 The author of the article puts forward several hypotheses regarding the presence of the Zaraysk context in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky. The first hypothesis correlates the cultural landscape of the western outskirts of Zaraysk with the description of the childhood town in Raskolnikov’s first dream. In the second, a version is set forth about the possible Zaraysk roots of the literary toponym Skotoprigonevsk. Thanks to archival finds, the history of the Bakhrushin merchant family from Zaraysk was analyzed in detail, and their connection with the Kumanin family, which is related to the writer, was established. This ultimately allowed us to put forward an assumption about the prototypes of episodic characters in the novels “Crime and Punishment” (merchant Afanasy Ivanovich Vakhrushin) and “The Idiot” (merchant Papushin). Special attention in the context of the literary biography of the dyer Mikolka in the novel “Crime and Punishment” is paid to documentary evidence of the spread of Old Believers and mystical sectarianism in the Zaraysk district. For the first time, the history of theatrical life in Zaraysk is considered, also revealing a connection with Dostoevsky’s work. A report on the state of the town of Zaraysk for 1836 and a petition from the mayor of Zaraysk F. E. Tepitsyn for the preservation of the Astrakhan tract are published for the first time in the Appendices to the article. The documents contain important information for understanding the socio-economic, historical and cultural environment surrounding the future writer here.

The purpose of the publication is to create methodological foundations for determining the critical hydraulic transport speed by the values of hydraulic slope, flow rate and density of the hydraulic compoud and to assess, on the basis of these data, the current characteristics of the hydraulic compoud solid phase particles. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: generalisation of the known methods for calculating hydraulic transport parameters and mathematical processing of data obtained from the data of the services of mechanics, power engineering, control of measuring equipment as well as real-time monitoring. A historical review of the introduction of systems for operational monitoring of flow parameters at domestic hydraulic transport complexes of mining enterprises was carried out. The technical means of controlling and recording the flow rate and pressure of the hydraulic compoud, methods for determining its density and cargo flow were analysed. This made it possible to substantiate the parameters that can be used to achieve the research goal of determining the parameters of the transported material based on operational measurements. The results of the study are the establishment of the dependence of generalised values of the parameters of solid particles of the transported material on the hydraulic characteristics of the hydraulic compoud flow, taking into account the characteristics of the pipeline and the characteristics of the transported material. The obtained formulas make it possible to determine the current generalised values of the parameters of solid particles of the transported material based on the data of monitoring and operational control systems of hydraulic transport parameters, taking into account the characteristics of the pipeline and the characteristics of the transported material. These dependencies can be solved in relation to the density of the transported material particles or their diameter, depending on the mining-geological or mining-technological conditions of open-pit mining, which allows to increase the reliability and efficiency of the hydraulic transport complex by timely changing the parameters and operating modes. The scientific novelty of the research results is to determine the dependence of the product of the diameter and Archimedes' parameter of the particles of the solid phase of the hydraulic compoud on the concentration of the hydraulic compoud and its average speed, hydraulic slope of the hydraulic compoud and liquid.

An investigation was done for heat-resistant coatings from Ni-Cr and Fe-Ni-Cr alloys, produced by vacuum arc deposition with
cathodes from nichrome alloy ХН78Т and steel 12Х18Н10Т. The microstructural analysis of the studied coatings applied by vacuum
arc deposition with different amounts of reactive gas (nitrogen) in a deposition chamber showed the presence of two phases: a matrix
and the distributed particles of liquid phase of various sizes and shapes. Vacuum arc deposition at a cathode arc current of 55 A for
Ni-Cr and 82 A for Fe-Ni-Cr coatings, a cathode arc voltage of 28 to 32 V, an underlayer temperature of 490±30 оС, and no nitrogen
in the chamber gives coatings with no apparent orientation of crystallites and a microhardness reaching 330 to 374 HV. The diffusion
mobility of atoms decreases at a higher nitrogen pressure, which results in a coarse-crystal, porous-columnar structure of coatings
with high porosity, a varying volume, and a rough surface. The influence of nitrogen pressure in a chamber on the strength of coatings
was evaluated by their microhardness. A nitrogen pressure gain up to 0.13 Pa results in the increased microhardness of both coating
systems, and the further growth in pressure has almost no effect on microhardness. It was discovered that a nitrogen pressure of 0.13 Pa
gives the optimum combination of a coating’s strength and continuous structure with no pores and apparent columnar crystallites.
Alloys from Ni-Cr with 80 % Ni are among the most heat-resistant industrial materials with a maximum operating temperature of up
to 1200 оС. However, they are expensive, which makes Fe-Ni-Cr alloys more attractive, providing their heat resistance is sufficient
for the operating temperature range. Therefore, it is reasonable to conduct further research on both Ni-Cr and Fe-Ni-Cr coatings to
develop a deposition technology that can provide the required performance parameters. Controlling nitrogen pressure makes it possible
to adjust the structure and properties of the coating during deposition.

The paper considers the problem of improving the accuracy of determining the horizontal projections of linear velocity and
coordinates of a moving cruising object by an autonomous inertial navigation system built on the basis of domestic precision
navigation accelerometers.
Typically, these errors of such a system grow linearly and quadratically with the time of its autonomous operation. The main
reason for this growth is the integration of instrumental additive errors of its horizontal accelerometers. It is proposed to in-
tentionally form a harmonic character of the instrumental additive errors of horizontal accelerometers within an autonomous
inertial navigation system. This leads to the fact that the errors in determining the horizontal projections of linear velocity do
not increase in time during integration, and the errors in determining the coordinates increase only linearly in time during the
second integration. This approach helps to improve the accuracy of the system and the possibility of increasing its autono-
mous operation time while ensuring the required accuracy. It is proposed to form the harmonic nature of the additive errors
of horizontal accelerometers by rotating these accelerometers around the vertical axis of the object. A mathematical model for
determining the horizontal projections of the linear velocity and coordinates of a moving object in the case of such a rotation of
accelerometers, as well as a mathematical model of the errors of this determination, is obtained.
The effectiveness of the proposed method of improving the accuracy of determining the horizontal projections of the linear
velocity and coordinates of a moving object, as well as the adequacy of all the mathematical models obtained in this paper, has
been confirmed by experimental studies.
Sacred Spaces of the Mari Culture. Signs and Typologization of the Mythologized Landscape
Authors: Ustyantsev German Yu. , Efremova Diana Yu. , Serebrennikova Tamara L.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Amid growing interest from the public and researchers in the pre-Christian, nature-centered beliefs of the peoples of the Volga region, issues related to the perception of natural landscapes and their use in ritual practices have gained renewed relevance. The study aims to propose key factors for the qualitative description of the sacred landscape of contemporary Mari communities: the degree of development, the orderliness of the locus, its mythological image, and its role in ritual practices. Based on these factors, the authors present their own typology of sacred toposes within Mari culture.
Materials and Methods. The article is based on the field materials of the Department of Ethnology (the Faculty of History of Lomonosov Moscow State University) in 1995, 2021-2023 and the Complex Expedition of the National Museum (the Republic of Mari El named after T. Evseev). The geography of research covers Mari El, Bashkortostan, and the Kirov region. The main methods are the collection of texts about the landscapes (folklore texts, interviews) and their narratological analysis, visual fixation of monuments.
Results and Discussion. As criteria for describing spaces the authors analyze their physical characteristics, the image in folklore, the practices and mythological characters associated with them, and the degree of anthropogenic influence. The ambivalent properties of sacred landscapes and the process of creating new sacred toposes are revealed in the article. The internal organization of sacred groves and their role in the religious life of local communities are described in detail. The authors identify five categories of spaces: sacred groves; unorganized sacred loci; symbolic burial sites of the Mari heroes; “bad places”; active and abandoned burial sites. At the same time, the researchers note the variability of natural landscape objects and the possibility of combining features of different types in one monument.
Conclusion. The conclusions made by the authors contribute to the development of ethnological research of Mari religious practices and mythological representations. The materials of the article can be useful in describing and systematizing the landscapes of traditional culture, in studying the interaction of people and nature within the framework of ritual actions.

Introduction. Homogenization is one of the most significant factors ensuring the successful implementation of the technology for manufacturing various dairy products. During this process, there are changed the properties and structure of proteins. In particular, there is decreased the size of casein micelles, which break down into submicells. After that, the accumulation of submicells on the surface of fat particles is likely. The increase in the homogenization pressure amplifies the mechanical effect on the particles, therefore, the average size of fat globules decreases.Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at reducing energy costs for manufacturing dairy products while ensuring the maximum preservation of the quality of dairy products.Materials and Methods. There has been studied the influence of homogenization pressure on the process technical parameters such as the power used for the homogenizer drive and for the dynamics of changes in the product properties during storage. The analytical dependences describing the main parameters of homogenization are considered.Results. Compliance with the recommended homogenization parameters and other para­meters, in particular heat treatment, can significantly increase the product shelf life without significant changes in the initial quality indicators. If the process conditions allow crushing the initial fat particles to a size of about 1.0 micrometer and distributing them evenly throughout the volume, it makes possible to get a significant improvement in the taste and consistency of the resulting products. There has been studied influence of homogenization parameters on the shelf life of yogurt manufactured according to the proposed formula with using southern fruits, in particular, with dogberries.Discussion and Conclusion. Taking into account the results of experimental studies, we have concluded that the energy costs are significantly affected by the homogenization pressure (absolute value) and the ratio of pressure values at various stages of homogenization. The product manufactured according to the proposed formula with crushed dogberries preserves good taste, microbiological properties, and physical and chemical specified parameters for 14–15 days. It follows that the shelf life of yogurt manufactured according to the proposed formula should not exceed more than fourteen days at a temperature of no more than +6 °C.
El papel de la valoración en las relaciones interactivas: una exploración a través de «Fabuloso», «Fantástico» y «Fenomenal»
Authors: Padilla-Herrada María-Soledad , García-Pérez José
Published: December 2024

En esta investigación analizamos el comportamiento discursivo de tres elementos léxicos, fabuloso, fantástico y fenomenal, para determinar su incidencia en el ámbito de la valoración en el español actual. Para ello, realizamos un análisis cualitativo de las documentaciones presentes en CORPES XXI, que nos permitirán dilucidar cuáles son los contenidos adicionales al valorativo que adquieren estos elementos. Con ello se pretende poner de manifiesto, por un lado, que la valoración puede ser empleada estratégicamente por los hablantes con otros fines discursivos y, por otro, que, con la atención a las relaciones discursivas como las establecidas en las intervenciones reactivas, podemos enriquecer nuestro conocimiento de la naturaleza gramatical del español actual. Metodológicamente, partimos del modelo de Macrosintaxis diseñado por Fuentes Rodríguez (2019, 2020) como marco teórico de la investigación
El mecanismo discursivo de la yuxtaposición en la expresión de la relación concesiva en español y chino
Authors: Ren Zhongde
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo aborda la relación concesiva en las construcciones yuxtapuestas en español y chino, con miras a explorar la posibilidad y las características de su formulación en contextos comunicativos reales. A diferencia de las afirmaciones presentes en la bibliografía, que creen que este mecanismo asindético ofrece una amplia variabilidad interpretativa, nuestro estudio parte de la Lingüística Pragmática y encuentra que manifiesta una gran limitación en la expresión concesiva. Para lograrla, es imprescindible el funcionamiento de la relación causal originada en los conocimientos enciclopédicos en la construcción, además de que se cumplan algunas condiciones gramaticales. En algunas ocasiones, puede conformarse una yuxtaposición concesiva mediante el empleo de determinados operadores modales. En todo caso, la yuxtaposición no constituye la forma usual de realizar la relación concesiva en estos idiomas.

Authors: Tilburghs Brenthe , Vande-Casteele An
Published: December 2024

Ser un hablante competente en una L2 no solo implica adquirir conocimientos sobre las formas gramaticales de la lengua meta, sino también desarrollar la competencia pragmática, crucial en la producción adecuada de actos de habla, las estrategias de (des)cortesía, y la comprensión del uso de los marcadores pragmáticos. El presente artículo versa sobre cómo aprendices de ELE de diferentes lenguas maternas consiguen desarrollar su competencia pragmática mediante el uso del marcador de toma de turno pues. El objetivo del estudio consiste en ahondar en las diferentes funciones pragmáticas de pues en la posición sintáctica inicial y en analizar en qué funciones discursivas parecen más o menos frecuentes en los distintos grupos de aprendices. De tal modo, se estudiará cómo el uso de este marcador de toma de turno puede servir de indicador del desarrollo de la competencia pragmática en aprendices belgas de habla neerlandesa, italianos y eslovenos de ELE. Los resultados de los aprendices se compararán con los de un grupo de control nativo
Análisis pragmalingüístico de las secuencias de apertura en conversación de WhatsApp
Authors: González-Sanz Marina
Published: December 2024

La estructura conversacional y, más específicamente, los procedimientos para iniciar una conversación, han sido analizados desde diferentes perspectivas teóricas, que partían fundamentalmente de corpus orales. La llegada de nuevos sistemas de comunicación digital ha hecho posible que los hablantes conversen a través de otros canales, como la aplicación de WhatsApp. En este artículo, nos preguntamos si las formas de expresión empleadas para abrir una conversación en WhatsApp coinciden con las que aparecen en una conversación coloquial prototípica o si, por el contrario, han surgido nuevos recursos lingüísticos. Para responder esta cuestión, aplicamos el modelo teórico de la lingüística pragmática (Fuentes Rodríguez 2000) en el análisis de un corpus de conversaciones de WhatsApp. En última instancia, pretendemos ofrecer un acercamiento a la naturaleza de la comunicación digital que se desarrolla en esta plataforma de mensajería instantánea, que parece priorizar el mantenimiento del hilo discursivo de toda la interacción sobre la marcación de los límites conversacionales.
