GRAMMATICAL VARIABILITY OF THE UKRAINIAN TRANSMIGRATORY MICRODIALECT IN BASHKORTOSTAN
Authors: Tkachuk M.
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the question of variability – a structural and typological universal feature of most dialects, which is caused by the oral form of their existence. The subject of the study is grammatical variability, which was considered on the basis of one translocalized (transmigratory) Ukrainian microdialect of Stepanivka village, Aurgazinsky district, the Republic of Bashkortostan. The majority of the population of Stepanivka are Ukrainians, at the same time representatives of other ethnic groups live in the village too, which creates conditions for close contacts. The source of the study were the corpora of dialectal texts of coherent speech of Ukrainians in Stepanivka, recorded in 2012 during the dialectological expedition, and narratives published in the book "Ethnographic image of Ukrainians abroad" (Kyiv, 2019). The study was carried out taking into account the features of the maternal basis of this microdialect: the source for the Bashkirian Stepanivka is Slobozhansky dialect with some Middle Dnieper features.
Analysis of the dialectal texts corpora from the Stepanivka microdialect allowed to identify invariant and variant grammatical forms of different parts of speech. Variant grammatical forms occur due to various factors: most variants, or so-called doublet grammatical forms, correspond to the dialectal norm of the microdialect, and since this microdialect is translocalized, to the original system of its maternal dialectal basis; the other ones are the result of contacts with another idiom, primarily with the Russian language. An important factor in the manifestation of grammatical variability is the peculiarities of the idiodialects of the dialectal speakers.
The variant forms are found within different parts of speech. The verb system is the most stable to the influence of contact idioms, while there are many variants in the case system of noun parts of speech, which is the result of adopting grammatical features of contact Russian language; the analysis of the context of using of such forms testifies to their equal function with original grammar forms.
LEXICAL INNOVATIONS OF COVID-19 PERIOD: STRUCTURAL AND LINGUOPRAGMATIC ASPECTS
Authors: Chumak L.
Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to research the properties of lexical innovations emerged during 2020–2021, the years of the global pandemic COVID-19, and the aspects of meaning of new phenomena they nominate. The study is based on the procedural apparatus of structural and pragmatic linguistics. The data used are taken out from online versions of English quality and mass newspapers, magazines, online dictionaries (oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com, dictionary.cambridge.org, collinsdictionary.com, merriam-webster.com, urbandictionary.com, dictionary.com). The results characterise the frequency of word-formation morphological models, comprising word-composition, blending and shortening.
The paper focuses on innovations with the lexical items "coronavirus", "Covid-19", "epidemic / pandemic", "quarantine", "Zoom" functioning as a structural component in a series of structurally similar lexical units. The frequency of this structural component is explained by newly coined items semantics, which is connected with the relevant referent accepted by the society and most adequately understood, as it conveys a specific content about the realities of life. The meaning of such a word-formation constituent is easily predicted on the basis of its semantic structure. The article singles out the specific features of using the analyzed lexical innovations to refer to referents of various spheres in the English media discourse of 2020-2021 are identified and investigated. The research proves that innovations in question function in the English media discourse to realize a number of strategies. In the studied research the role of the selected lexical innovations of Covid-19 period in the implementation of strategies for organizing Modern English media discourse were taken into consideration: informative-interpretative, evaluative and attention drawing.
FEMALE RECEPTION OF PRISON EXPERIENCE (A CASE STUDY: THE NOVEL "ROSES BEHIND THE BARS. CONFESSION ABOUT THE WOMEN'S PRISON" BY IRYNA AHAPIEIEVA)
Authors: Yurchuk O.
Published: September 2022

A prison issue within literary female reception is exotic for Ukrainian literature. Therefore, the novel "Roses behind the Bars. Confession of a women's prison" by Iryna Ahapieieva is a conceptually new artistic and receptive model of prison experience. The author chooses the art form that we have seen in the texts of Ukrainian modernists before, such as confession (thought, appeal, stream of consciousness). But we have exclusively female space manifested by the specifics of the female body, female psychology and female language.
In the study under analysis the main ideas will focus on two key discourses: "prison" and "prison – female corporality". In both cases the article will deal with a traumatic experience of imprisonment directly or indirectly marked by the human body.
From the novel we learn that, on the one hand, the Ukrainian prison operates on the principles of other European penal institutions. It is hierarchical and is based on what the French thinker Michel Foucault calls the "art of distribution". Its basic principles are secrecy, discipline, controlled activity, order and so on. On the other hand, the Ukrainian prison built on the principle that remains a mystery to the main character. It is the principle of body torture that is not standardized but serves as a prison reality by default.
In the novel the prison appears as a monstrous metaphor for the world that has not lost its sadistic desire to punish mainly the human body. However, the novel by Iryna Ahapieieva is a text not only about prison but also about a trauma. That’s why one sees a post-traumatic letter letting the author reflect on / recollect (textualize) the trauma thus getting rid of it.

Published: September 2022

Many studies show a strong relationship between teaching methods and student learning outcomes. For example, two well-known methods used to teach Arabic books in the Indonesian Pesantren are Bandongan and Sorogan. However, teaching grammar at Pesantren Dār al Falāh Semaranguses a different small group discussion method. This research seeks to examine the effectiveness of its application. This is field research using observation, interviews, and documentation. Triangulation of sources, methods, and extended times have been relied on to verify the authenticity of the data. We concluded that the application of the small group discussion was in the stages of preparation, process, and evaluation. Nevertheless, the application of this method for teaching grammar has more advantages than shortcomings, and it is fit to be used. The helpful factors are the teacher's excellent preparation, students' willingness to study the subject they will discuss within the classroom, their enthusiasm in the discussion, and the teacher's explanation at the end of the class to strengthen the understanding of the students. The obstacles are limited academic time, and the presence of students who do not have sufficient knowledge of the subject studied, leading to their lack of participation in the discussion.

Published: September 2022

Both the road section and the tunnels of E-60 highway are being constructed in sparsely populated areas, resulting in less impact on populated areas. Nevertheless, concerns about the impact of the tunnel construction process on the surface relief are common; In particular, what kind of surface deformations are expected along the route of the tunnel under construction, and to what extent, and at what distance from the axis of the tunnel already constructed/under construction is it permissible to construct a residential or other building? The values determined by analytical and laboratory methods of the parameters of the rock displacement mold on the ground surface can be specified during the construction of shallow tunnels along the axis based on the results of experimental studies conducted at special observation stations along the tunnel under construction. Studies determine the displacements and deformations of rock stratum from the tunnels under construction to the ground surface, as well as their impacts on the surrounding buildings. To determine a safe zone for the construction of residential and other buildings along the axis of the shallow tunnels under construction, similar requirements and restrictions, which are used during metro tunneling, as specified in sub-clauses 3.6 and 3.7 of the normative document СНиП 32-02-2003 (СП 120.13330.2011) can be applied.
Schemes of Multi-stage Pressure Main Hydraulic Transport Systems
Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Makharadze Leon
Published: September 2022

G. Tsulukidze Mining Institute performed the fundamental studies of the operation of pressurized main water transport systems (slurry pipelines). These studies have been performed on both laboratory and semiindustrial experimental installations as well as on many large industrial systems. Based on these studies, it has been established that the efficiency of the studied systems is particularly increased by growing the hydro transmission distance of solid loose materials. This efficiency especially increases in the case of pulses when the concentration of loose solids in the hydro aeronautics in the pipelines increases. Because centrifugal ground pumps used for the transport of hydraulic mixtures develop relatively low pressures, the hydraulic transport systems studied are typically multistage. To do this, it is necessary to turn on the pumps in the main pipeline in sequence, or the main system consists of several separate systems, which complicates the operation of the system and worsens their technical and economic performance. Due to the peculiarities of operation, pulsed pipes are the most difficult, which lies in the fact that during their operation, hydraulic shocks occur very often, which has the worst impact on the efficiency of similar systems. Therefore, the schemes of multi-stage main hydraulic transport systems are discussed, equipped with such necessary devices which allow the sustainable operation of systems with maximum technical and economic indicators.

Published: September 2022

There are number of cases against the states among the cyber-attacks occurred in the recent years, when there was a breach of diplomatic secrets, confidential or personal data with various malicious aims from the perpetrator’s side. With the development of technologies, not only the frequency, but also the severity of such cyberattacks is rising, giving an alarm to the governments. The victims have been both developed and developing countries, including Georgia, which was one of the first to be addressed and the strong tactics of the malicious attack deserved to be noted by several cyber security experts. One of the methods of compromising information security is cyber espionage, which, as recent cases have demonstrated, is one of the most important cyber threats the states are facing. The focus of the article is on the aims of cyber espionage, as well as on the methods and means used by criminals to achieve malicious goals. In the process of demonstrating the goals, the reader will be shown relevant statistics and information on crime tactics. Well-known examples of cyber espionage and their consequences are presented. The case of cyber espionage against Georgia, which was one of the first in the world, is also considered. It is through such examples that we learn about experiences that, on the one hand, provide the basis for fear and, on the other hand, makes us able to think and develop a methodology for dealing with the threat. Finally, attention is drawn to the possible methods that can avoid such cases in the public administration and minimize the harmful consequences.
A Frame as the Language of Communication in Covid Reality
Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Chrelashvili Nana
Published: September 2022

The world suddenly faced the new reality by the end of 2019. Coexistence with the virus (COVID-19) endangered the human wellbeing and his spiritual, physical and all other important components necessary to live. There is hardly found any sphere not affected by this virus. The architecture is also not an exception in this viewpoint. COVID-19 damaged the architecture in different directions: education had become wrapped, the educational exchange programs were stopped, architecturally important cities and monuments remained without visitors. Biennials were postponed, the format of conferences were changed – the open communication was replaced by the distanced one. All international borders were closed for researchers, scientists and travelers. The world started to find ways to live and survive in this different reality, the various spheres started to make new planning to fit the new reality. We think that for the architecture it is important to enhance already wellprobed methodology – the frame as the communication language until we farewell with COVID-19. The methodology is widely used as in science as well in visual art. In this scientific work we discuss the role of photography and aerial photography for systemic analysis of architect concept on the example of Egyptian pyramids by using the mentioned research methodology.
Discrepancy Between Concepts and Definitions
Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Sutidze Liana
Published: September 2022

The Palitra-L Publishing House translated the Great Visual Encyclopedia into Georgian and published it, in the presentation of which we read that "part of the terms and definitions have been changed with new ones, the meaning of some has increased. It is possible to check the meaning of a specific word by checking relevant illustration" – say the authors of the book, who gathered specialists in terminology, linguists, scientists when creating the encyclopedia. It would be better if the publishing house had invited the relevant specialists of the field as well. The part of the Georgian translation of the encyclopedia that I consider in the article (Book 4, Chapters XVII and XVIII) does not seem to have been reviewed by the appropriate specialists of the field and technical terminology. Moreover, the terms and definitions used in the illustrations are not related and completely inconsistent with their functional purpose. Chapter XVII, Trucks, considered: dumping truck; cranes; container, etc. Chapter XVIII, Robust Mechanisms, considered: bulldozer; wheeled loader; hydraulic excavator; scraper; grader; land roller, etc. Obviously, the question arises as to the meaning of the term Robust and why it does not combine a particular mechanism, even trucks. Most of the concepts, terms and definitions used in the translation differ from the concepts and terms adopted and established in Georgian technical terminology, and their inconsistency is obvious. Also, captions for illustrations are often grammatically and meaningfully incorrect and absurd. For example, according to the Georgian translation of the encyclopedia, the blade -"lapoti" in the bulldozer is a "metal concave device", and in the scraper – "bowl, ladle, hopper". In fact, the bulldozer is equipped with dozer blade, while the scraper is equipped with a bucket, and the term blade – "lapoti" is not found at all in Georgian technical terminology. For example, "hook – a piece of hard metal", as well as "gooseneck connection" and others. The fact that hook is not a piece of metal does not require any special education, as for the "gooseneck connection" – it is a complete curious thing. I would recommend translators of the above discussed sections of the encyclopedia to use the explanatory dictionary of “Hoist transport, road construction machines and equipment" published by us as well as the existing Georgian technical terminological dictionaries.

Published: September 2022

Loose rocks on the territory of Georgia are spread only in the area of Eastern Georgia and include the Adjara-Trialeti fold system and the eastern districts of the Georgian Belt. Numerous criteria have been developed worldwide to evaluate the settling properties of loose rocks and we have reviewed some of them. The settling properties of loess rocks spread on the territory of Georgia were evaluated according to these criteria. For our conditions, the criterion adopted according to SN and 2.02.01-83, and based on many years of experience of complete geotechnical studies conducted on soil samples was considered the most favorable. The results of engineering-geological research of loose rocks spread on the territory of Georgia are presented in the article. Within this framework they are mainly of eluvial, eluvial-deluvial, alluvial and alluvial-proluvial genesis. Their distribution is not continuous and does not form the whole morphological structure, they are presented as fragments, in the form of precincts. Their capacity is not large and ranges from 1.0 m to 4-5 m, rarely exceeding to 15.0 m.

Published: September 2022

It is likely that the climate of the 21st century will be quite different from the climate of the 20th century due to the impact of human agricultural activities. Society's sensitivity to climate change is determined by the frequency and severity of extreme events, as climate events can cause serious material damage and casualties. To assess the potential threat posed by climate change and manage the risks, it is necessary to create reliable models that will be able to construct climate change scenarios with high accuracy. It is especially important to anticipate the expected frequency and intensity of changes in extreme events in the process of climate change, such as heavy rainfall, associated floods and high temperatures. This prediction is essential for future planning of water resources, agriculture, irrigation and drainage, road, construction design, and other sectors such as tourism and etc., where weather and climate are the defining factors. Climate change scenario has been defined in the territory of Dedoplistskaro municipality as a result of the forecast of climate variability in the period of 2020-2050. It was concluded that the warming trend will be maintained, which in numerical expression equals +30C, compared to the current average annual temperature. The nature of the changes in the main climatic parameters and the impact of these changes on the engineering-geological and hydrogeological conditions for the selected regions of Dedoplistskaro were assessed.
Unclassified Radio Frequency Interferer Affecting Ionospheric Scintillations Monitoring over the Mediterranean Area
Authors: Pica Emanuele , Minetto Alex , Cesaroni Claudio , Dovis Fabio
Published: September 2022

Radio Frequency (RF) signals transmitted by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are exploited as signals of opportunity in many scientific activities, ranging from sensing waterways and humidity of the terrain to the monitoring of ionospheric irregularities. The latter can be pursued by processing the GNSS signals through dedicated ground-based monitoring equipment, such as the GNSS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitoring (GISTM) receivers. Nonetheless, GNSS signals are susceptible to intentional or unintentional RF interferences (RFIs), which may alter the calculation of the scintillation indices, thus compromising the quality of the scientific data and the reliability of the derived space weather monitoring products. Upon the observation of anomalous scintillation indices computed by a GISTM receiver in the Mediterranean area, the study presents the results of the analysis and characterization of a deliberate, unclassified interferer acting on the L1/E1 GNSS frequencies, captured through an experimental setup based on a Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture. The paper also hilights the adverse impacts of the interferer on the scintillation indices employed in scientific investigations. Additionally, a dataset of Intermediate Frequency (IF) signals samples affected by the RFI will be available at IEEE DataPort upon publication.

A Novel Technique for Intraoperative Assessment of Surgical Margin Using Lugols Iodine and Frozen Section Methods in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Authors: K Prajwal , Upasi Amarnath P , Byadgi Sunil , Rai Kirthi Kumar
Published: September 2022

Surgery is considered to be the primary mode of treatment of head and neck malignancies and the ultimate aim of surgical resection is to obtain a tumor-free margin. No uniform criteria to define a clear surgical margin exist among practicing surgeons. This study intends to find the adequacy of surgical margin marking intraoperatively by Lugol’s iodine solution considering the frozen section method for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Intraoperative staining with Lugol’s iodine and Frozen section analysis of margins of the surgical bed was negative in anterior, superior, and inferior specimens in all the cases, except in one case (4.3%), a posterior margin was found to be positive (unstained) for tumor. The chi-square value of the Lugol’s stained margins following resection of the tumor and negative results of frozen section analysis of the same was found to be statistically significant with the P value <0.001. Hence, we conclude that Lugol’s iodine helps in obtaining a clear surgical margin intra-operatively where inter-surgeons bias/judgment errors regarding safe margin can be avoided, especially in cases where the frozen section is not feasible.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of this research is to analyze and find the weakness in the regulation of rehabilitation for underaged narcotics abusers and how to reconstruct the law based on Justice Value. This study uses a constructivism paradigm with a sociological juridical approach to solve research problems by examining secondary data and primary data by finding the legal reality experienced in the field as well as qualitative descriptive methods, namely where the data obtained are then arranged systematically so that a comprehensive picture will be obtained, where later the data will be presented descriptively. Based on the research it can be seen that the ideal Legal protection for children as narcotics abusers has not been achieved yet because there are still found cases where children who abuse narcotics are punished with imprisonment because of the law on child protection and the law on narcotics does not see in eye-to-eye regarding child narcotics abusers as the law on narcotics still treat Underaged Drug Abusers the same as adult. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out legal reconstruction in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics concerning General Provisions of Article 1, Article 103 where the provisions become, the addition of paragraphs in Chapter I on General Provisions in Article 1 so that Article 1 consists of 23 reconstruction paragraphs included in Article 1 paragraph (16), namely Children who are Victims of Narcotics Abuse, are children who are persuaded, deceived, cheated, forced, and/or threatened to use narcotics, alcohol, psychotropic substances, and other addictive substances. Article 103 becomes (1) Judges who examine cases of Narcotics Addicts are obliged to: a. decide to order the person concerned to undergo treatment and/or treatment through rehabilitation if the Narcotics Addict is proven guilty of committing a Narcotics crime; or b. stipulates to order the person concerned to undergo treatment and/or treatment through rehabilitation if the Narcotics Addict is not proven guilty of committing a Narcotics crime; c. In the event that a child commits an act of planting, maintaining, possessing, storing, controlling, or providing Narcotics Category I, II, II, he/she is obliged to obtain a rehabilitation decision; d. The rehabilitation of children who abuse narcotics is carried out in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Large Deflection Analysis of Clamped Thin Rectangular Isotropic Plate under the Action of a Uniform Distributed Load
Authors: I Enem, J.
Published: September 2022

This present paper deals with large deflection of clamped thin rectangular isotropic plate under uniformly distributed load. The analysis of clamped plates is of great important and its structural behavior has not been completely understood. Previous studies have made a great in road in the analysis of clamped plates through varied approaches mostly assuming trigonometric series as displacement field. A variational method based on the principle of minimization of total potential energy has been employed through assumed displacement field. Therefore, the von Karman differential equation was decoupled through direct integration retaining its non-linear character. The aim of this present studies is to provide solution to analysis structural behavior of clamped (CCCC) thin rectangular isotropic plate under uniform distributed. The analysis was accomplished through a theoretical formulation of shape function based on polynomial series and subsequently, the formulated shape function was used on Ritz energy method. The resulting functional was minimized to obtain a general amplitude equation of the form K1∆3+K2∆+K3. Where K1, K2 and K3 are coefficients of amplitude equation and ∆ is the deflection coefficient (factor). Newton-Raphson method was used to evaluate the deflection coefficient. Values of ∆ from Timoshenko and that from present study were compared with an aspect ratios ranging from 1.0 to 1.5 with an increment of 0.1. From results obtained, the average percentage difference for the pervious and present studies is 3.7646%, The percentage difference for the plate was within acceptable limit of 0.05 or 5% level of significance in statistics. It is shown from the comparison that good agreement exists between the present and previous works and that this approach provides simply, direct, straightforward and highly accurate solutions for this family of problems.
Experimenting on Gabriel Marcel’s Idea of ‘Creative Fidelity’ in A World of Brokenness and Fragmentation: An Appraisal
Authors: P REV. FR. Joseph T. Ekong, O.
Published: September 2022

This work is expository and evaluative in its methodology. It aims at offering a critical assessment of the claims of Gabriel Marcel on Creative Fidelity, in order to ascertain whether or not such claims are philosophically robust, sustainable and realizable, or merely deflationary and idealistic. Gabriel Marcel’s work on Creative Fidelity does not only deal with perennial themes of faith, fidelity and belief, incarnate being and participation, but also discusses religious tolerance and orthodoxy. Creative fidelity refers to the tenacious, constant desire to elaborate who we are. To have a greater sense of being, we need creative fidelity. For Marcel, to exist only as body is to exist problematically. To exist existentially is to exist as a thinking, emotive, being, dependent upon the human creative impulse. He believed that, as soon as there is creation, we are in the realm of being, and also that, there is no sense in using the word ‘being’ except where creation is in view. Thus, we become creatively faithful when we bridge the gap between ourselves and others by making ourselves present to them, and so defy absences with presence. Thus, it is not enough to be constant, since constancy is tenacity towards a specific goal, which requires neither presence nor an openness to change. If the creative élan is a move away from the objectification of humanity, it must be essentially tied relationally to others. Creative fidelity, then, entails a commitment to acts which draw the subject closer to others, and this must be balanced with a proper respect for the self. Self-love, self-satisfaction, complacency, or even self-anger are attitudes which can paralyze one’s existential progress and mitigate against the creative impulse. To be tenacious in the pursuit, the fidelity aspect is the most crucial part of the creative impulse, since creation is a natural outflow of being embodied. The central argument of this work is that “creative fidelity,” as theory, is quite captivating and fascinating, and seemingly realizable in a possible world of altruistic human beings. However, in practice, it seems unattainable or unrealizable, especially in a concrete world that is populated by self-serving, fragmented and broken human beings.

Osteomyelitis is inflammation of the bone which begins as an infection of the medullary cavity with rapid involvement of the haversian systems and extension to the periosteum. Various etiological factors are involved in origin of the disease, among them fungal origin is rare. Specific feature in fungal osteomyelitis is involvement of maxillary sinus. Maxillary osteomyelitis can be classified based on the following causes: traumatic, rhinogenic, and odontogenic. I hereby report a case of fungal osteomyelitis involving maxilla in a 50-yearold man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. This specific case was necrosed bone with analysed using Energy dispersive Xray and Scanning electron microscope analysis. This case report highlights the need of oral physician to rule out fungal origin in osteomyelitis.

Published: September 2022

Vitamin E (VE) is an antioxydant defense system and a signaling molecule which has been the subject of various clinical trials in cancer chemoprevention or in adjuvant therapy after chemotherapy. In some circunstances it is indexed to act as a pro-oxidant inducing adverse effects such as progesssion of cancer metastasis or diabetes. The objective of this work is firstly to investigated the effect of VE (α-T) supplementation on mices, in way to evaluate the risk in developping diabetes and secondly to make review on vitamin E modulated genes. The study was performed on 32 adult albino mices in which alpha-tocopherol was administred at different doses. After, blood biochemical paramaters status has been analysed. Renal damages were researched by histopathological analysis. We have made review on VE modulated genes through indexed articles in genetic databases, PubMed Central and Google scholar. An inadequate status of blood biochemical paramaters especially, glucose level, hyperlipidemia and a hypercreatininemia has been observed. Renal damages with modifications in structures were noted. A list of genes modulated by VE, which could explain mechanisms by which α-T- induced diabetes could appear was highlighted. The study shows that high doses of α-T supplement resulted in disorder of biochemical parameters, with dysfunction of renal tissue and development of diabetes.

Imaging data and biological records are both included in the field of medical informatics. Medical image clustering is an important area of research that is getting increased interest in both academia and the health professions. It addresses the issues of medical diagnosis, analysis, and education. Several medical imaging methods and applications based on data mining have been made and tested to deal with these problems. This paper looks at how image classification techniques diagnose diseases in the human body. It concerns the imaging modalities, dataset, and the pros and cons of each method. An optimal clustering technique of medical images using multiwavelet transforms proposed that combines the multiwavelet transform filterbanks with the k-means clustering algorithm to improve the performance and get a clinically meaningful clustering shape. In comparison with other methods of clustering, it was shown that this method has a much higher cluster classification than those published before.  A user-friendly Matlab program has been constructed to test and get the results of the proposed algorithms
